Chapter 1520: The Future Will Be Up to You to Shoulder

"Because the smoky aroma of cooking is also a part of life."

This explanation made Liu Xin'ai gently raise her eyebrows.

Then she said ambiguously: "You, you're becoming more and more like a virtuous wife and good mother."

"It's alright, after all, at this age, one needs to learn to take care of oneself and take care of the people around them."

"Then who exactly is it that made you have such a big change?"

A person's name was right on the tip of Xu Xiaoxiao's tongue.

But she didn't say it out loud, instead replying: "No one in particular, I just suddenly had an epiphany, really!"

Her expression was very earnest.

But Liu Xin'ai saw a guilty conscience in her frequently blinking eyes.

This woman, she has a secret now!

Liu Xin'ai gently pursed her lips and did not continue to press, instead remarking with emotion: "Seeing you all like this, I am very gratified."

You... all?

Who does this "all" represent?

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to ask, but when she looked up, she heard Liu Xin'ai say: "Let me taste your cooking."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao was eager to try!

She rubbed her hands together and said: "I've only been learning for two days, my skills aren't very practiced, you'll have to bear with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao got busy.

And Liu Xin'ai sat where she was, feeling a bit of anticipation in her heart.

It's just that with this anticipation... she waited for over an hour.

In the end, Liu Xin'ai was so hungry she felt like her stomach was sticking to her back before Xu Xiaoxiao served two dishes.

These dishes were quite home-style: tomato scrambled eggs and sour and spicy shredded potatoes.

Hmm, how should I put it...

It was the first time Liu Xin'ai had seen someone scramble the eggs in tomato scrambled eggs into tiny crumbs...

And the potatoes in the sour and spicy shredded potatoes were so thick they were strips, and they were burnt on the outside but raw on the inside; occasionally, one that wasn't burnt

was so sour it made Liu Xin'ai shiver.

Xu Xiaoxiao still looked at Liu Xin'ai with anticipation and asked: "How does it taste?"

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to crush her confidence, so she said tactfully: "There is still room for improvement."

This evaluation... seemed to imply something.

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and tasted it herself.

Hmm...

She bit into an eggshell!

And this taste was truly mediocre.

Xu Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks listlessly and muttered: "It seems I really have no talent!"

"Take it one step at a time, you don't even find so many exams difficult, let alone a little bit of cooking? Practice definitely makes perfect!"

Liu Xin'ai's comfort made Xu Xiaoxiao feel a little better.

But looking at the dishes on the table, Xu Xiaoxiao sighed: "Let's just order takeout, that day Jiang... that day we ordered fried chicken, it was quite delicious."

Xu Xiaoxiao almost said a person's name, but fortunately, she reacted in time.

Liu Xin'ai didn't notice the brief pause, instead saying: "What takeout, the food is still edible."

After saying that, Liu Xin'ai started to eat.

She didn't want to dampen Xu Xiaoxiao's enthusiasm; as a good friend, she had to give Xu Xiaoxiao encouragement.

But after finishing the meal and returning home... her stomach started to hurt.

It was likely the problem with those potato strips.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai clutching her stomach with her features twisted, Liu Qingze asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"

It was nothing major, she would recover after resting for a while.

However...

Liu Xin'ai looked at her ignorant younger brother and said: "Sister can only help you shoulder it once today; in the future, you will have to shoulder it yourself."

Hmm?

What is Sister talking about?

Liu Qingze was completely confused and asked: "Sister, what did you help me shoulder?"

【Line 50 is a continuation of 49】

"... It's nothing, just rambling, don't take it to heart."

Liu Xin'ai didn't explain further, leaning against the bed with her eyes half-closed.

Seeing that she was truly in pain, Liu Qingze suggested: "You should take some medicine."

"No need, just drink some warm water."

"Then I'll get you some water."

After Liu Qingze finished speaking, he left the room. When he returned, he handed a cup of water at a suitable temperature to Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai took a sip, then studied Liu Qingze.

This study made her notice that there were some changes in her brother's eyebrows and eyes.

They seemed to have lost some sharpness and gained a bit of gentleness and determination.

This discovery made Liu Xin'ai sigh with emotion: "I feel like, without realizing it, you've become a real man."

"I was already a real man to begin with!"

"Hmm... what I mean is, you're more responsible than before."

Liu Qingze heard that his sister was praising him; he curled his lips into a smile and said a bit smugly, "I will definitely keep getting better, don't worry!"

"Mm, I believe you."

Liu Xin'ai responded with a smile, her eyes filled with gratification.

Seeing that the atmosphere at this moment was good, Liu Qingze took the opportunity to ask a question: "Sister, when are you moving in with Qin Yiyan?"

"That, there's no rush."

"But I think Qin Yiyan is quite anxious!"

"Then your feeling is wrong; I've talked to him, and he thinks it's quite good as it is now."

"Impossible, he must be coaxing you to make you happy, and I also think this is not good!"

The tone of Liu Qingze's speech was somewhat hurried.

And this reaction of his made Liu Xin'ai pause.

She stared fixedly at Liu Qingze, the light in her eyes flickering.

Under this gaze, Liu Qingze realized...

... his behavior could easily make his sister mistakenly think he was trying to drive her away.

Liu Qingze did not want his sister to misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "What I mean is, you are husband and wife after all; living apart for such a long time is improper!"

"Do you think I care what others say now? I won't imprison myself just because of a few words from others."

Liu Xin'ai had become much more free-spirited.

However...

She had truly overlooked the destructive power of the two of them, as a married couple, joining forces to slaughter the singletons!

Just as Liu Qingze was thinking about how to bring it up tactfully, Liu Xin'ai suddenly asked a question: "When do you and Xiao Xiao plan to go public?"

Go public?

Go public with what?

Could it be...

Does his sister know about him receiving treatment from Xu Xiaoxiao?!

A trace of panic suddenly appeared in Liu Qingze's confused eyes.

The next second, he scratched his head and asked, "What... do you know?"

Liu Xin'ai said cryptically, "Just the things you don't want me to know."

Sigh, she really did know!

Liu Qingze was a bit annoyed, but he quickly accepted this result and muttered, "Since you don't want to let me know, then don't ask any more."

The younger brother's response was an admission of the conjecture in Liu Xin'ai's heart!

Sigh, she just knew it; there was something going on between these two people!

It's just that feelings couldn't have popped up suddenly.

When did they start to develop feelings for each other?

Also, these two, they both hide things too deeply!

If it weren't for Liu Xin'ai's sharp eyes, who knows how long they would have kept it hidden!

Liu Xin'ai was lamenting, and incidentally asked: "If I hadn't taken the initiative to ask, how long did you two intend to keep it hidden?"

"This... depends on you."

Liu Xin'ai did not grasp

the meaning behind these words.

She only thought that Liu Qingze was worried she would not approve of this relationship.
