55: Chapter 55 A Full Stomach is a Sense of Happiness

Even though they were simple dishes, Xiao Ran spent over an hour preparing them all.

He really couldn't help it; the electric pot was too inefficient, but with his superb cooking skills, the dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, were a complete success.

"Shiqing, dinner's ready!"

"Coming!"

Liang Shiqing washed her hands, her thick, cloud-like dark hair casually draped over her shoulders, and her cherry-red lips looked inviting.

"It smells so good!"

She followed the scent to the table, her face showing intoxication, her small nose twitching.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten such a lavish meal!

No,

She should say that ever since she went blind, she hadn't had a single good meal!

The girl's intoxicated expression

Made Xiao Ran's nose suddenly feel a little sore.

The loss of sight

Also took away her sense of taste and smell.

She had no right to smell, nor the conditions to eat... It was hard to imagine

How she had managed to get through this time... "Shiqing, have a bowl of soup first!"

Xiao Ran served a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her, saying softly.

"Slurp~~~"

A rich aroma almost made Liang Shiqing's nose 'pregnant'.

She vaguely remembered

This was the unique scent of slow-cooked chicken soup.

"Brother, it smells so good!"

She subconsciously leaned her nose closer, almost dipping it into the soup.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran quickly pressed her forehead, preventing the creation of a new dish called 'scorched pig's nose'.

Xiao Ran dotingly pinched her nose.

"Be careful, it's very hot!"

"Thank you, Brother!"

Liang Shiqing's heart warmed; she knew she had almost burned herself.

She carefully picked up her chopsticks.

Feeling her way by perception

Eventually... she clamped down on Xiao Ran's arm.

Xiao Ran: "..."

Congratulations to Shiqing for getting a pig's trotters.

"Silly girl, do you want to eat Brother's trotters?"

Liang Shiqing's face fell, her eyes immediately reddened, and she said, feeling wronged,

"Brother... am I... too clumsy...?"

"How could you be! If you were clumsy, could you have helped me make such a big table of dishes?"

The girl's pretty face flushed at the praise... and her tears were held back.

As he spoke

Xiao Ran took her hand and picked up a steaming piece of chicken from the bowl.

"I... I'll do it myself..."

Liang Shiqing's small face was flushed; being cared for so closely by someone made her a little unaccustomed.

So

She became anxious.

The chicken was pulled to her mouth.

"Hiss~"

The 'scorched pig's nose' didn't happen, but a 'scorched pig's mouth' did.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She quickly fanned her mouth with her hand, trying to get rid of the pain.

"Silly girl, I'm not fighting you for it, what's the rush!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.

So cute!

"Shiqing just wanted to taste Brother's cooking quickly..."

She licked her lips, a little wronged.

"Haha, you'll have plenty to eat for over a month!" Xiao Ran said meaningfully.

"Why for a month?"

Liang Shiqing blew on the chicken, carefully took a bite, and then was moved to tears by the deliciousness.

"Wuwuwu, so, so good..."

The tender, smooth texture and the long-lost aroma of meat intertwined, bursting on her tongue, giving her taste buds a full body massage at every moment.

Delicious to the point of addiction!

Xiao Ran watched this scene with satisfaction.

He also slurped a mouthful of soup and added:

"Because after a month, I won't be cooking for you anymore; if you want to eat, you'll have to cook it yourself."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking

Liang Shiqing stopped eating and looked up at her feeder.

A hint of confusion was revealed in her empty eyes.

Seemingly asking, 'Why?'

"Shiqing, I can't take care of you every day; you also need to learn to take care of yourself."

Xiao Ran's words

Made her fall into a brief silence, her chopsticks frozen in mid-air, with a half-eaten piece of chicken dangling from them.

'Yes, I can't always have Brother Xiao Ran come to take care of me!'

'He has his own life too!'

'Come on! Liang Shiqing! You can take good care of yourself too!'

'And! Shiqing should practice the skill of taking care of Brother!'

Thinking of this

Liang Shiqing's face was resolute:

"Don't worry, Brother, a month is enough time for Shiqing to learn how to take care of herself!"

'And take care of you!'

She slyly added in her heart.

The girl's thoughts were very pure and simple.

"Mm! Brother believes in you! Hurry and eat!"

Xiao Ran nodded.

He had already given her a heads-up.

When he left her world and she regained her sight, she wouldn't be lost due to being out of touch with the world for too long.

Next

The two of them, chatting and laughing, started clearing the dishes from the table.

However, Liang Shiqing's method of picking up food was unique.

Abbreviated: the 'as fate would have it' method.

She ate whatever she picked up.

Helplessly, Xiao Ran could only personally help her pick up food.

He filled her bowl to the brim.

Her greasy little mouth probably wouldn't get to taste plain white rice.

Suddenly

Xiao Ran secretly dabbed a grain of rice on the corner of her mouth.

"What's wrong, Brother?"

"Don't move! Smile!"

"Huh?" Her small mouth was slightly agape, her face full of question marks.

"Click!"

A shutter sound rang out.

Capturing this comical moment of the girl.

Xiao Ran looked at the photo on his phone with satisfaction, and when she regained her sight in the future, he would give her these photos!

He had also fulfilled his mission.

"Brother... you... are you taking pictures...?" Liang Shiqing's face was flushed with embarrassment, the girl's youthful shyness washing over her.

Xiao Ran smiled, pursing his lips.

"Come on, come on! Eat crab!"

He directly fed her by hand, like feeding a pig, bringing it to her mouth.

Liang Shiqing inhaled the enticing aroma before her nose, subconsciously swallowed, "Brother... I... I'll do it myself..."

Do it herself?

Dream on!

"Open your mouth, or I'm going back, and you can eat by yourself!" Xiao Ran threatened decisively.

"Ah! No!"

Liang Shiqing's pretty face turned pale, and she quickly slurped the crab meat into her mouth.

Xiao Ran: "..."

Can you please spit out my finger!

But Liang Shiqing had no idea, still thinking it was a crab leg.

She even bit down hard with her clean, pearly teeth.

"Mmm, Brother... the crab is too hard... I can't bite through it..."

Xiao Ran: "..."

He tried to pull his hand out, but ended up pulling her small head along too, her words still slurred:

"Mmm... still haven't finished eating..."

If you can't bite it, spit it out, why are you biting and slurping at the same time?

"Pop~~"

Xiao Ran used the back of his other hand to push against her forehead, pulled his hand out forcefully, and said in a faint tone:

"Good sister, you just bit my finger."

Liang Shiqing: "..."

Her breath hitched, her chopsticks froze in mid-air.

Her fair, tender face quickly flushed with an alluring crimson, spreading all the way to her ears, her delicate little earlobes so vivid they looked as if they would bleed.

The shame she felt made her wish she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

To hide inside and never come out!

No wonder the taste was off, it was unusually fragrant!

It turned out she was eating Brother... she had... embarrassed herself again... "Shiqing! Hurry and eat! It'll get cold if you don't!"

Xiao Ran's voice came from the darkness, startling her delicate body.

"Brother... I..."

"Open your mouth!"

"Mmm..."

...Half an hour later.

Liang Shiqing's belly was round, and she sat obediently in her chair.

"Shiqing, Brother is about to leave; I still have things to do later!"

"Ah! Brother... is Brother leaving already?"

Liang Shiqing stood up reluctantly, wanting to hug her brother.

But remembering that her hands were still greasy, she stopped herself.

She couldn't get Brother dirty.

"Don't worry, I'll be back tonight."

Xiao Ran ruffled her hair.

She squinted her eyes, tilted her chin up, enjoying the caress, and patted her belly.

"Brother... I'm so full..."

A full belly.

That's called happiness.

Xiao Ran glanced at her lower abdomen; it was indeed bulging, like she was several months pregnant.

"Don't worry, Shiqing, you'll eat your fill every day from now on!"

"Thank you, Brother!"

Liang Shiqing blinked her eyes.

She didn't ask for much.

As long as Brother was willing to visit her, that was enough.

"Thank me for what? Don't be so polite with Brother. Go wash your hands and quickly apply the medicine."

"Mm!"

Just like last night, applying the medicine went smoothly. After a night of scabbing, a little more ointment on the wound was pretty much all it needed.

After he was done

Xiao Ran tidied up her room and sternly instructed her:

"I've put the leftover dishes in the fridge. I've already set an alarm. The chicken soup is being kept warm. Drink a bowl every hour until it's all gone, understand?"

Liang Shiqing did not have any negative emotions because of his tone.

Instead, she was somewhat delighted and nodded obediently.

"Mm! I know!"

"I'm leaving now."

"Bang~~"

The room was dim.

But the girl's world was no longer dim.

Imagining the light in her heart, she couldn't help but hum a little tune from her small mouth.

"La la~ la la~~"

...
