"Haha, what an adorable little elf! You actually called me 'big sister'!" Xi Xi looked at Amy happily, then shook her head and said, "No, I'm not an elf, nor a flower fairy, but perhaps I could be considered an elf a hundred years ago."
Lu Lu sat opposite, looking at Xi Xi and Amy with a smile full of doting affection and kindness.
"A hundred years ago? Wow, is big sister already over a hundred years old?" Amy looked at Xi Xi in surprise. "But you look so young and beautiful."
"Really? It's been so long since anyone complimented me like that. I thought I was getting old." Xi Xi beamed, reaching out to pat Amy's hair, and said with a smile, "You have such a sweet little mouth, what's your name?"
"My name is Amy, and this is the Ugly Duckling." Amy didn't resist Xi Xi's gentle touch, on the contrary, she found it very kind and tender, and introduced the Ugly Duckling as well.
"Amy, what a lovely name, just as cute as you. You can call me Sister Xi Xi. But this little one looks like a kitten, why do you call it the Ugly Duckling?" Xi Xi asked Amy curiously.
"Because it hatched from a duck egg, so it must be a little duck, but it's so ugly, so I call it the Ugly Duckling. But don't be fooled by its current ugliness, when spring comes, it will grow up and become a white swan, and then... then..." Amy explained earnestly, but as she finished speaking, her gaze as she looked down at the Ugly Duckling became somewhat eager, much like the expression she had when looking at the delicious food in front of her earlier.
"Meow meow~" The Ugly Duckling felt a little flustered for some reason, as if Amy's smile and eyes were hiding a great secret.
"What an adorable little one! Can I hold?" Xi Xi asked Amy with a smile.
"The Ugly Duckling?" Amy looked up and asked.
"No, you're cuter than it. Sister wants to hug Little Amy." Xi Xi shook her head, her eyes full of affection as she looked at Amy.
"Hmm... okay, I'll let you hug me." Amy hesitated for three seconds, then looked at Xi Xi and quickly nodded. This big sister looked so gentle and kind, she really wanted to be hugged by her.
"Then I'll hug you." Xi Xi gently picked up Amy, who was still holding the Ugly Duckling, and let her sit on her lap. She reached out and gently rubbed the Ugly Duckling's head, saying with envy, "The little one is so cute. I'm so envious of the boss for having such a cute daughter."
The Ugly Duckling, who always acted aloof and indifferent to everyone, showed no anger at all when Xi Xi rubbed its head. Instead, it had an expression of enjoyment on its face and even rubbed its head against Xi Xi's hand.
"I think you should envy me. I have a super handsome Daddy who can cook incredibly delicious food. There's no one better than my Daddy in the world." Amy said earnestly.
"Haha, yes, I'm so envious. You wake up in bed everyday and can sit in the restaurant eating delicious food. That must feel so wonderful." Xi Xi nodded, full of envy.
Hearing Xi Xi's words, Lu Lu sitting opposite her clenched his fists. Watching Xi Xi holding Amy, talking softly and happily with the two little ones, trying to make them happy, Lu Lu felt a pang of heartache in his eyes. But the words stuck in his throat, and he watched quietly.
"Your Braised Chicken Rice." At this moment, Yabemia walked over with a serving of Braised Chicken Rice and gently placed it in front of Xi Xi. Looking at Amy, who was being held in Xi Xi's arms, she also looked a little surprised. Amy usually doesn't cling to anyone except Mai Ge.
"Sister Xi Xi, you should eat first. The Braised Chicken Rice is really delicious." Amy obediently got off Xi Xi's lap and earnestly recommended it to Xi Xi.
"Okay. Wow! It tastes so tempting! And there are even little moons in the rice, so cute!" Xi Xi's eyes lit up as she looked at the braised chicken in the clay pot bowl and the rice in front of her, as if she had seen something incredible. However, she still remembered to thank Yabemia.
"Lu Lu, you should eat too." Xi Xi said, looking at Lu Lu.
"No need, I want to watch you eat. I'll eat the rest after you're done." Lu Lu said softly, shaking his head with tenderness in his eyes.
"Lu Lu? Big Bear, why do you have such a cute name?" Amy asked Lu Lu, her little face full of curiosity.
"Haha, Big Bear, that's such a cute nickname, Little Amy is so great." Xi Xi laughed happily, picked up a piece of chicken from the bowl and handed it to Lu Lu, saying seriously, "Lu Lu, you should have a piece first. If it's too delicious, you might not have any left."
"You can't eat that much." Lu Lu glanced at the large bowl of braised chicken and said with a smile. He opened his mouth, took the piece of chicken, chewed a few times, and his eyes lit up. The deliciousness spread in his mouth. This was a taste he had never experienced before.
Because Xi Xi loves to eat, so they have traveled to many places over the past hundred years. In each place they visit, they stop to try all the local delicacies before continuing their journey. Although this often leads to them being overtaken or ambushed, but what can be done when Xi Xi loves to eat?
But having tasted so many different kinds of food, he had never experienced such an intense and delicious flavor. The tender meat and the flavorful chicken soup were on a completely different level, unlike any of the so-called delicacies he had ever eaten before. It was a taste that made him want to praise it.
"Lu Lu, is it really that delicious?" Xi Xi asked, looking at Lu Lu's expectant expression. After all, Lu Lu usually eats with a blank expression, but now his expression was completely bright, and he had never shown such a look of enjoyment before.
"Mmm, it's delicious, you should eat it." Lu Lu nodded with a smile and moved the clay pot bowl a little closer to Xi Xi.
"Lu Lu, you can eat with me too." Xi Xi said, looking up at Lu Lu with a smile.
"You eat first, I'll just watch you eat." Lu Lu shook his head, then reached out and patted Xi Xi's head affectionately. "Eat up, you'll definitely like it."
"Then I'll start eating!" Xi Xi's eyes lit up as she looked at the braised chicken in front of her. She picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth. The tender and delicious chicken tasted amazing! Flaming Chicken was a common food for them in the mountains and forests, but she never thought that Flaming Chicken could be made so delicious. It completely overturned her impression of Flaming Chicken.
Then she picked up a shiitake mushroom, gently bit into it, and the delicious chicken soup instantly filled her mouth, the extremely fresh taste was intoxicating.
Then she poured the chicken soup into the rice, scooped up a big spoonful and put it in her mouth. The delicious chicken soup blended into the sweet Moonlight Fragrant Rice, chicken, mushrooms, and side dishes. With this secret recipe, a big spoonful of the deliciousness was simply irresistible!
"So delicious! I think I could eat ten more bowls!" Xi Xi said excitedly to Lu Lu, still wanting more after finishing her rice without realizing it.
"Okay, then let's eat more." Lu Lu nodded with a smile, reached out his big hand and gently pinched a grain of rice from Xi Xi's mouth, fed it to his own mouth, and said to Yabemia, "Hello, please add one serving of Braised Chicken Rice and ten bowls of rice."
