Compared with Chu Ran who ate voraciously, Lin Xi ate more politely. She only took a small bite of each snake dish. It was not that she thought the food was not tasty, but when she thought of the cold touch of the snake, she lost interest in snake meat.

“Is it not tasty?” Gu Tingxiao, who was sitting next to her, noticed this and asked with concern, thinking that the dish was not to her taste.

"No, it's delicious, but I don't really want to eat it."

Lin Xi's face was full of rejection. You could say she was being squeamish or pretentious, but she just didn't want to eat.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Come on, I'll cook you a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles!" Gu Tingxiao put down the chopsticks in his hand and pulled Lin Xi up.

"Okay!" Lin Xi did not refuse his kindness. She really couldn't eat the snake meat.

Chu Ran was fighting with the villagers for meat and didn't notice Lin Xi and Gu Tingxiao leaving. Lin Jue saw them, but he was so focused on taking care of Chu Ran that he didn't bother with them.

Gu's father and mother watched the two people leaving with a smile on their faces. They knew that they were going to cultivate their relationship, so they decided not to disturb them and just ate the snake meat happily.

There was no conversation along the way, and Gu Tingxiao and Lin Xi soon returned to Gu's house. "Please sit for a while, I'll go cook noodles for you." After saying this, Gu Tingxiao turned and went into Gu's mother's room.

He took out the spare key given by Gu's mother from his pocket, opened the lock on the outside of the cupboard, and took out a handful of noodles and two eggs.

After taking the noodles and eggs to the kitchen and putting them away, he turned around and went to his own private plot to pick a handful of green vegetables, washed them and brought them back to the kitchen.

After cleaning the pot, Gu Tingxiao first made an omelette and put it aside. Then he added an appropriate amount of water to the pot, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then put in the vegetables and noodles. When they were almost cooked, he added the appropriate amount of seasoning and the eggs that had been fried in advance. After cooking on low heat for half a minute, he could take the pot out of the pot!

"Xiaoxi, it's time to eat." Gu Tingxiao brought the hot noodles and placed them on the table in the main room, and shouted at the door.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Lin Xi said and walked into the house.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

When Lin Xi saw there was only a bowl of noodles on the table, she frowned. If she was not mistaken, he had not eaten much before. How could a grown man be full after eating so little?

"I'm not hungry, I just want to watch you eat." Gu Tingxiao was not not hungry at all. He just saw that there were not many noodles in the cupboard, so he didn't cook his own. As a grown man, he would not starve if he skipped a meal.

"I can't eat that much. Go get another bowl and we'll each have half." Lin Xi said without giving any room for refusal. She was afraid that she would suffer from indigestion if he had to watch her alone.

"I'm really not hungry, just eat it." Gu Tingxiao was afraid that Lin Xi would not be full, so he did not plan to eat.

"Huh?" Lin Xi raised his eyes and glared at him, as if saying, "If you don't go, I'm going to beat you up!"

"I'll go right away. Please wait for me for a moment." Seeing that she seemed really angry, Gu Tingxiao hurried to the kitchen to get a bowl.

When Lin Xi saw Gu Tingxiao go to get the bowl, his frown slowly relaxed.

After Gu Tingxiao brought the bowl in, Lin Xi snatched it away, and then scooped most of the noodles into Gu Tingxiao's bowl, and also gave him an omelette, and finally the vegetables and noodle soup. After finishing, she pushed the bowl in front of Gu Tingxiao and said, "Eat!"

Gu Tingxiao lost his composure when he saw that most of the noodles were in his bowl, so he risked being beaten and said, "I'll just eat from your bowl." Then he wanted to exchange the bowl with her!

"No, this is mine." Lin Xi quickly held the bowl in his arms and started eating.

Seeing that she had done this much, Gu Tingxiao couldn't refuse anymore, so he lowered his head and started eating. While eating noodles, the two chatted occasionally and let each other know about their respective situations in recent times.

After finishing the noodles, Lin Xi and Gu Tingxiao felt warm in their hearts, not only because they had a bowl of hot noodles in winter, but also because their hearts were closer.

"You sit for a while, I'll go wash the bowls and pots." Gu Tingxiao said and went to the kitchen with the bowls.

"Okay..." Seeing that he was so self-conscious, Lin Xi's eyes were full of smiles!

Suddenly she heard a slight movement from the window on the wall connecting to the private plot behind the house, accompanied by a low growl.

Lin Xi couldn't sit still any longer, so she slipped to her private plot while Gu Tingxiao was washing dishes in the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw the white tiger scratching the window with its two front paws.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered and caught and eaten?" Lin Xi looked around as he said this, fearing that he would be seen. Fortunately, everyone in the village was eating meat in the threshing ground, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they would be discovered or not.

"Ow..."

Baihu hummed twice in grievance, as if saying, it's because you left me behind that I'm risking my life to find you.

"Do you want to go find that guy Mo Zi?" Lin Xi vaguely guessed something.

Baihu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she finally understood what he meant, so he nodded confidently.

"Xiao Xi, where are you?" Gu Tingxiao, who had just finished washing the dishes, saw that Lin Xi was no longer in the main room, and immediately went out to look for her.

"I'm here..." Lin Xi answered and put the white tiger into the space.

Gu Tingxiao ran over immediately after hearing this, and it took less than three seconds, "Xiaoxi, why are you here?"

Lin Xi secretly thanked himself for collecting it quickly, otherwise he would have been discovered. He thought that if he knew that he was raising a tiger, he wondered if he would be scared.

"I was bored in the house, so I came out to take a look. Look, this little green vegetable is growing really well!"

Lin Xi squatted down and touched the leaves of the green vegetables as if nothing had happened.

"Well, it can be seen that my mother put a lot of thought into it." If Gu Tingxiao still couldn't see that she was trying to change the subject, then he would really be a fool. He clearly heard the tiger's sound, but if she didn't say it, she wouldn't ask. He believed that one day she would be willing to tell him.

"That's right! Auntie is also a great cook, and the food is delicious!" Lin Xi didn't know whether Gu Tingxiao heard the white tiger's cry, and when he didn't ask, she acted as if nothing had happened.

"When you want to eat it, come find my mother and ask her to make it for you."

"Okay! Then I won't be polite!"

"Xiao Xi, I..."

Can I kiss you?

Before he could even utter these words, he was interrupted by Lin Jue's voice that ruined the mood.

"Little sister, let's go. I have something to tell you." Lin Jue didn't go over either. He just stood not far away and watched them.

Gu Tingxiao was also embarrassed at this time, and was a little glad that he hadn't finished speaking, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if someone heard it.

"Brother, wait a moment." Lin Xi replied, then looked at Gu Tingxiao, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
