The elder brother replied, “Being cooked for by the Si Tu family’s princess is even more rare.”
Ru Feng smiled, “Dear big brother, weren’t you the one who asked if anyone dared to eat my cooking?”
The elder brother declared, “I will definitely eat it, but your second brother didn’t respond, so he’s the one who doesn’t dare.”
Ru Feng felt her bowl lighten as Qi Feng took it from her, giving the elder brother a glance, “Do I need to ask?”
Ru Feng laughed, walked to her seat, and gave Qi Feng a kiss on the cheek, “Knew you’re the best.”
A subtle smile played on Qi Feng’s lips, his eyes bright.
The elder brother sighed to Si Tu Jin, “Dad, see? She’s already excluding us after just returning.”
Ru Feng linked arms with Qi Feng, proudly lifting her head, “Of course, second brother and I are on the same side.”
Si Tu Jin watched his children chatting and clearing his throat, “Alright, let’s eat.”
“Yes, let’s try Feng’er’s cooking,” Ying Feng picked up a chopstick of food and hesitated, “Feng’er, should we prepare some stomach medicine?”
Ru Feng glared at him, placing food in Qi Feng’s bowl, “If you don’t want to eat, fine. I’ll give it to second brother.”
Qi Feng picked it up and ate, then continued, “She’s made noodles for you before.”
The elder brother’s hand paused. Qi Feng added, “If you needed stomach medicine, you should have taken it long ago.”
The elder brother quickly put food in his mouth. He really wanted to say that making noodles was different from cooking.
“Feng’er, are you coming back here tonight?” Qi Feng asked.
Ru Feng looked at her watch and realized it was late. She jumped up—if she didn’t return soon, Aunt Qiu would start nagging.
Qi Feng looked at her and stood to get her coat. Ru Feng paused, “Second brother!”
“Hmm!” Qi Feng responded, carrying the box he had brought earlier, “This is yours.”
Ru Feng was curious; everyone seemed to be gifting her presents lately.
Opening the box, a string of pearl necklace lay quietly, emitting a soft luster. Ru Feng’s eyes brightened, “Big Brother designed this.”
