Chapter 583: That Was the Road He Came From

Bai Liang quickly figured out why he couldn't taste the dish that Sister Tian Tian had "made."

Because the way it was made was, in a sense, no different from "pre-made meals" — even more outrageous than hand-feeding lessons.

Every step was done first by Sister-in-law Qian, after which Sister Tian Tian symbolically stirred a few times.

It looked like every part was done by her, but in reality, her personal contribution to the dish probably didn't even reach thirty percent.

Of course, the most important step — plating — was indeed done independently by her.

It almost ended up on the floor.

Once the truth was revealed, Sister Tian Tian felt a little embarrassed for a moment, then became very happy.

Despite everything, Bai Liang still picked the right dish on his first try — what does that say?

Of course, it means the two of them are fated to be together!

"I think it's just that my luck is pretty good~" Bai Liang tactfully stated the truth.

Sister Tian Tian, meanwhile, said she didn't care — it was fate! The two of them were a match made in heaven!

It must be a very special fate~ (she was even singing it in her heart)

At the same time, she made a bold declaration, saying she had now experienced the joy of cooking and would definitely be able to cook entirely on her own for Bai Liang in the future!

Those words made Bai Liang's heart tighten, but he quickly relaxed — if it was being made for him to eat, with his luck, Sister Tian Tian wouldn't serve up a plate of "poison"; even random fumbling might turn out pretty tasty.

From a certain angle, if Sister Tian Tian was cooking for Bai Liang, her cooking skills might just gain an extra delicious buff halo.

Of course, if she got cocky about it and turned around to show off her skills for someone else, then whoever ate it would be out of luck.

"Speaking of good luck, my husband's family's luck is pretty outrageous too! I've always wondered if there's some feng shui thing going on at their house," Xi Mengyao said, eyes lighting up as she ate.

"What do you mean?" Sister Tian Tian casually played along.

"Their housekeeper won a thirty-million lottery!"

"Really?!"

"Really." Ho Yau-Kwan nodded. "My first iPhone was a gift from her, because she won the Mark Six lottery."

The moment those words came out, the looks around the whole table turned a little strange.

Could there really be such a thing as a wealthy-family magnetic field?

If it were making money through stocks or something, it might not be so surprising — after all, drivers and housekeepers around rich people do tend to overhear some tips.

But winning the lottery is purely about luck!

It makes one can't help getting "superstitious" — damn, how good must the feng shui be at that house for even the housekeeper to win tens of millions?

"You keep saying your luck is good — have you ever won the lottery?" Sister Tian Tian, after marveling, couldn't help turning to Bai Liang and asking.

Under Wu Jing's "clumsy goading tactic," although nobody took it too seriously — including Bai Liang and Ho Yau-Kwan themselves.

But the reason an open scheme works so well is that you can't dodge it.

Instinctively, people couldn't help comparing the two, though the atmosphere was mostly joking.

The main reason Sister Tian Tian asked was that Bai Liang often had the word "luck" on his lips.

Of course, quite a few people close to him — Sister Tian Tian included — knew that Bai Liang's luck really was a bit off.

The person who felt this most deeply was Sister Yanzi; she had no idea how many times she had seen her own Dou Dou Xiao Bai Bro's "goddess of luck is smiling."

By now, she was completely unfazed.

"Me? I've never won the lottery — I basically never even buy that stuff." Bai Liang shook his head.

"Then your luck isn't as good as his~" Sister Tian Tian said with a grin.

At that moment, Old Man Qian disagreed. "Not necessarily — even when it rains, the heavens avoid this kid; typhoons don't stop him from catching his flight."

Good lord! As expected of Old Man Qian.

One move and he's stirring things up~

Although he tactfully didn't mention that stack, he subtly dragged Reba into it.

Wasn't this exactly the scene of Bai Liang rushing to Reba's birthday party back then?

But that was quite some time ago, and many people might have forgotten.

At least Sister Tian Tian didn't catch on to what Old Man Qian was hinting at.

"Although I've never won the lottery, I think my grandma might have," Bai Liang recalled, sounding a bit uncertain.

"Holy crap! For real? What's going on with your two families?"

Wu Jing couldn't hold it in — wait, you bastards secretly opened a private server or something? You can play the game like that? He himself has to mortgage his house just to make a movie.

"I remember now — it was when I was still pretty young, and I wanted a very expensive toy."

Unlike Ho Yau-Kwan's story, the one from Bai Liang's side was him taking the initiative.

During summer vacation, staying with his grandma, he was taken out shopping and spotted a very expensive toy. He acted cute and wanted it, but grandma didn't have that much cash on her — there was no mobile payment back then, and old folks don't like carrying cards when they go out.

So to placate Bai Liang, she casually bought a lottery ticket — a scratch card — saying if she won, she'd buy it for him, however much it cost.

That's just how you pacify a kid~

Back then, Bai Liang was very young, in his "silly little kid" phase — pretty easy to fool.

Coaxed by his grandma like that, he naturally became very happy, stopped fussing about the toy, and waited full of joy for grandma to win the lottery.

With him being like that, what could the heavens do?

Give it to him~

"It feels like listening to a story — are you guys for real?! I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

Watching Wu Jing "break his composure," Bai Liang rummaged through his cloud drive for a while. "Oh~ there really is one! When my grandma went to claim the prize, she didn't wear any mask or anything — I was right next to her."

"So cute!"

After seeing that photo, what Sister Tian Tian focused on wasn't the prize claim itself, but the fact that Bai Liang was still a little carrot-top back then.

Mm. He really was very cute as a child, that's for sure.

Otherwise, there'd be no way to explain how, back in kindergarten, every little lolita in the class wanted to share snacks with him~

When it comes to "eating soft rice," he got a pretty early start.

He's been a "succubus" since childhood.

Seeing that Sister Tian Tian liked them, Bai Liang simply found a few more old photos to show her—many of them had been taken on film back then.

The ones that could be saved as digital files on the cloud drive had been scanned in by a machine.

"How come there aren't any photos of you in girls' clothes? I remember lots of kids, when they went to the photo studio as children, would do some pretty unusual stuff—myself, when I was little, I even had photos of me in handsome boys' clothes."

After Sister Tian Tian had a good look with an auntie's smile at how cute "Little Bai Liang" was, she started getting "insatiably greedy."

Bai Liang looked at her, amused: "Photos of me in girls' clothes? How about I change into girls' clothes right now and show you?"

"Yes yes yes! Want to see!"

"Want to see, plus one!"

"I want to see too~"

"Young people really know how to have fun~"
