69: Chapter 69 I forgot what I like to eat!

The sunset, like a magnificent scroll, dyed the sky a golden yellow.

At this moment, a certain handsome young man had already stepped into Art University.

Xiao Ran was walking on the path leading to the dormitory building.

He sent a message to Sun Xin颖, then paid no further attention.

That poor soul was still waiting for him to feed her!

He felt a pang of sadness recalling Liang Shiqing's frail body.

So, as he passed the cafeteria, he casually bought two boxes of dairy products.

When he arrived at the dormitory building, he indeed saw her.

The girl, dressed in pure white, with her hair falling naturally, was curled up on a small stool.

Under the dim balcony light, her dark hair shimmered with a soft reflection.

Perhaps the small stool was uncomfortable, as she would occasionally stretch.

Passing teachers would cast curious glances her way.

When did this usually reclusive girl start sitting by the door?

And it seemed she was waiting for someone to arrive?

No one knew the answer.

Perhaps it was the noisy evening, or the scent of fireworks in the air, that prevented her from recognizing the scent of the person she was waiting for.

When Xiao Ran arrived not far from her, carrying his things, Liang Shiqing still sat there blankly, unaware.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly and walked up to her silently.

As if sensing his presence, the girl clutched the wooden stick in her hand and stood up in surprise.

She tentatively asked, “Xiao Ran Gege?”

She seemed to smell a familiar scent!

“Shiqing, I’m here.” Xiao Ran stepped forward, stood in front of her, and gently embraced her.

Liang Shiqing’s lips curved slightly upwards, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

He was here.

She thought she would have to wait a long time.

He was so early today!

“Xiao Ran Gege, let me help you!”

The girl wrinkled her nose.

She threw the stick aside and reached out to take the boxes from Xiao Ran’s hands.

“It’s heavy!” Xiao Ran quietly reminded her, about to take them into the room.

“Xiao Ran Gege, Shiqing is only blind, it’s not like I’ve lost my hands or feet!”

The girl’s temper seemed to have grown, daring to speak to him like that now.

“It’s perfectly normal for a guest to come in and for me to help them with their things!” Liang Shiqing almost put her hands on her hips.

After she spoke, she took one of the milk boxes from his hands without further ado.

Xiao Ran clearly saw the huge downward pull, causing the girl’s entire body to sink momentarily.

“See? I told you it was heavy!” Xiao Ran said, amused.

He forcibly took the items back from her hands and entered her room by himself.

He gave her no chance to be a small helper.

The girl pouted, angered by his domineering behavior.

‘This cheap Gege is too bad!’

But the next second, her eyebrows curved into an arc.

A slight smile appeared on her lips.

‘But even though Xiao Ran Gege is bad!’

‘Shiqing really likes this feeling!’

‘I really wish it could always be like this~’

After Xiao Ran put the things down, he began to inspect them carefully.

He wanted to see if this girl had listened to him.

“The soup is finished, good job!”

A whole chicken, such a large pot of soup!

He didn’t expect this girl to actually finish it all in one afternoon.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the girl’s lower abdomen.

It was flat; she must have been hungry.

Her absorption and digestion abilities were surprisingly good!

Liang Shiqing was unaware of his scrutiny.

After hearing his small compliment, she seemed a little smug, wagging her tail.

She said, as if seeking praise:

“Xiao Ran Gege! Shiqing is very obedient! Shiqing even washed all the bowls! Not a single one was broken!”

Xiao Ran looked at the girl standing with her hands behind her back and her feet together.

She was like a little girl who had received a red star, waiting for praise from her parents.

Xiao Ran grinned and said,

“En en! My Shi Qing Meimei is the best!”

Hearing her Gege’s praise, the girl beamed with joy.

Then she sat down at the small table and clipped back her bangs.

She only showed her face when her Xiao Ran Gege came.

Only he was worthy of witnessing her beauty!

Xiao Ran went to the narrow kitchen; she had cleaned it quite well.

Originally, he had intended to wash the dishes himself, but he hadn’t expected Liang Shiqing to have already washed them, and not a single one was broken.

Such great progress!

It was getting late, it was time to cook.

There were still plenty of ingredients left over from lunch, more than enough for a sumptuous dinner.

Liang Shiqing, wearing slippers, came to his side and offered, “Xiao Ran Gege, let me help you!”

With the experience from lunch, she dared to volunteer herself now.

She could definitely do better this time.

“Alright, just like at noon, let’s make a big meal together.” Xiao Ran said with a smile.

“En!”

Still like at noon.

Xiao Ran first prepared the rice.

Then he began to show off his cooking skills.

However, the dishes for this meal had changed a bit and were not as complex as lunch.

Steamed ribs, braised pork, scrambled eggs with chives, and small vegetables.

All were home-style dishes.

Xiao Ran didn’t know Liang Shiqing’s specific preferences yet.

And he knew that even if she didn’t like something, she wouldn’t say it.

She would eat whatever he made.

But he had to ask first so he could be prepared for next time.

So, as he sliced the pork belly, he asked,

“Shiqing, what do you prefer to eat?”

Liang Shiqing stood by the sink, carefully washing the chives.

Hearing Xiao Ran Gege’s question, many blurry images flashed in her mind.

She seemed to have forgotten what each dish tasted like.

Shiqing seems to have… forgotten what she likes to eat!

No!

Chicken soup was very good!

Duck was also good!

Tender beef!

And fish, shrimp, and large crabs!

They all smelled so good!

She liked all of these!

The girl was at a loss for words for a moment.

But the next second, she seemed to have an answer.

She stopped what she was doing, looked up at Xiao Ran, and smiled brightly, saying, “Shiqing likes anything Xiao Ran Gege makes!”

Xiao Ran Gege was willing to cook for her, and that made her very happy and content.

How could she dare to pick what she liked or disliked?

She was not a little princess!

Xiao Ran’s face was covered in black lines; he knew this girl would answer like that.

A very standard, official answer, no less than ‘whatever’.

So Xiao Ran deliberately teased her, “Then do you like fermented herring? It smells very fragrant, you know!”

Liang Shiqing: “…”

Of course she knew about fermented herring!

Although she had never actually smelled it, she knew that most people hated it.

But, could it be that Xiao Ran Gege really liked to eat this?

So, she tilted her head, looked at him, and asked,

“Does Xiao Ran Gege really like fermented herring? Shiqing knows about it.”

“Yes! I really like it!” Xiao Ran affirmed.

‘Does Xiao Ran Gege really like it?’

If Xiao Ran Gege liked it, she would try her best to try it!

As an understanding Meimei,

What Xiao Ran Gege liked, she also had to learn to like!

“If Xiao Ran Gege likes to eat it, then Shiqing likes it too!” the girl said with a smile.

She didn’t want Xiao Ran Gege to dislike her just because she didn’t like to eat something.

Even if it was stinky fermented herring, she was willing to eat it.

Xiao Ran was speechless for a moment.

He felt he was becoming increasingly naughty.

Always tricking such a cute little Shiqing…
