Chapter 589: Showing Off My Charm

Training over—

Cai Xiaotang returned to her room, her mind heavy with thoughts, filled entirely with that sentence from today.

She sat alone on the edge of the bed, carefully recalling everything that had happened since she met Li Xiao, and finally, she snapped back to reality.

She had always been fierce and aggressive toward that guy Li Xiao!

No wonder he said today that she was suited to be a man!

It's over...

She had finally developed feelings for someone with such difficulty, could it be that they would end up just being good buddies?

No way!

She had to find a way to show off her feminine charm and her good points!

She couldn't let Li Xiao really treat her like a brother one day!

That would be too miserable!

She would start her plan tomorrow!

First, she had to find a way to turn her image around!

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, she quickly began to map out her plan for tomorrow in her mind.

The next morning—

It was only seven o'clock when an alarm clock rang in the quiet room.

The alarm rang for a long time before a hand reached out from under the covers, irritably grabbed the phone, and turned it off.

A few more minutes passed—

The person on the bed suddenly sat up with a start!

Cai Xiaotang rubbed her hair in annoyance, glanced at the time, and sluggishly crawled out of bed.

"Tsk... so waking up early is this tiring..."

She muttered to herself in a low voice; she was used to sleeping until the sun was high in the sky every day, and her whole body felt exhausted.

But thinking of her plan, she still forced herself into the bathroom and quickly washed up.

After washing her face, she felt much more awake.

Once Cai Xiaotang was ready, she went straight to the kitchen downstairs.

As soon as she entered, she saw Auntie Li preparing breakfast.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly spoke up: "Auntie Li, you can just prepare the others'..."

"Is the Madam going to make breakfast for Mr. Li herself today?" Auntie Li said with a chuckle, guessing Cai Xiaotang's intentions immediately.

Cai Xiaotang smiled a little embarrassedly and nodded gently.

"Then I'll head out first. Madam, please go ahead. Mr. Li usually comes down for breakfast around eight o'clock, no need to rush."

Auntie Li gave a word of advice and then left the kitchen.

With Cai Xiaotang alone, she felt much more relaxed and walked over to the refrigerator unhurriedly.

"What should I make..."

She muttered while quickly taking out some ingredients from the refrigerator and began to prepare.

There wasn't much to make for breakfast, and thinking that Li Xiao usually ate Western-style breakfasts, Cai Xiaotang decided to change his palate today.

Before long, the fragrance of food wafted through the kitchen.

Half an hour later—

A steaming, incredibly hearty bowl of noodles was finished.

Cai Xiaotang had lived alone for a long time, so her cooking skills were not bad to begin with.

She bent down with satisfaction, took a deep breath of her creation, and immediately raised her eyebrows triumphantly.

They say that to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach...

Her cooking skills should at least be presentable, right?

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, already standing in the living room and walking toward her.

She hurriedly adjusted her expression and carried the tray out.

Li Xiao happened to be sitting at the dining table, holding a cup of coffee and taking a sip.

"Ahem!"

Cai Xiaotang cleared her throat on purpose.

The next second—

"Cough... cough cough..."

Li Xiao suddenly started coughing wildly, as if he had been startled by her.

"You... cough... why are you up so early?"

Li Xiao looked at Cai Xiaotang with a face full of surprise, looked back at the clock in disbelief, and then looked at the tray in her hand.

Cai Xiaotang then walked over and placed the tray in her hand onto the table with a "clatter."

"Eat!"

She dropped the word crisply and placed the chopsticks in front of Li Xiao as well.

A rare look of blankness appeared on Li Xiao's face.

"This is... for me?"

He looked at the bowl of noodles with very rich ingredients in front of him, and his expression instantly became very "colorful."

"Otherwise?"

Cai Xiaotang was nervous as could be, but she deliberately put on an indifferent look: "This is something I got up early in the morning specifically to make for you!"

"Why did you suddenly make breakfast for me?"

Li Xiao looked bewildered.

Cai Xiaotang, however, suddenly felt her face heat up.

Why so many questions?

Is it wrong to be nice to him!

Meeting Li Xiao's puzzled gaze, Cai Xiaotang suddenly realized something, and a look of annoyance flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Why did she start being fierce again!

Starting today, she must try to be as gentle as possible in front of Li Xiao!

Thinking this, she stammered an explanation: "I... I am doing this... to repay you for saving my life before... it just so happens... I haven't cooked in a long time, and I wanted to practice... could you... just have a taste? Trust me, the taste won't be that bad..."

As she spoke, Cai Xiaotang smiled at Li Xiao and shoved the chopsticks directly into his hand, completely unaware that while she was speaking just now, her face had become redder and redder.

Looking at the person before him, Li Xiao finally sensed exactly what was not quite right.

He suddenly reached out and touched Cai Xiaotang's forehead, deliberately feigning confusion: "You don't seem to have a fever... offering favors for no reason, is there something you want to ask me for help with? Or did you get into some trouble again that you're afraid to tell me about?"

"I did not!"

Cai Xiaotang felt somewhat depressed by what he said and couldn't help but want to lose her temper, but she still controlled it and said softly: "I already told you, I just suddenly wanted to cook, that's all. I was busy in the kitchen for over half an hour; won't you really try it?"

Li Xiao's brow twitched sharply because of her tone.

So this is what she looks like when she is gentle...

She actually looks quite cute.

However...

A dark light flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and then his face instantly changed to an even more incredulous expression.

"Cai Xiaotang, you being like this suddenly makes me think you're possessed. Are you... really okay?"

He looked at Cai Xiaotang suspiciously and wanted to reach out to check her forehead temperature again.

The smile on Cai Xiaotang's face nearly collapsed.

Is this guy ever going to stop!

Treating kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs!

Yesterday she acted like a man, and now that she is being gentle, he actually dares to say she is possessed!

Cai Xiaotang felt a breath stuck in her chest and finally could no longer suppress her anger: "Are you going to eat it or not? If you aren't, I'm going to go dump it."

"I'll eat!"

Li Xiao answered crisply, and after saying it, even he was a little surprised.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was in no mood to continue sparring with him and just said gloomily: "Then eat slowly, I'm going back to my room to catch up on sleep."

She dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

Li Xiao watched her go upstairs, then turned around to look at the noodles in front of him.

Just by smelling the aroma, he had already guessed that the taste must be quite good.

But...

Li Xiao moved his chopsticks and took a bite, unable to help but reveal a somewhat helpless smile.

He seemed to know what she was thinking.
