Xuanqi raised his head upon hearing this, and the gentleness in his eyes instantly turned into focus. He bent down slightly, looked down at Luo Xi, and whispered, "Master, what are your instructions?"
Luo Qian took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Xuan Qi, I have something to tell you. I don't belong to your world. I originally belonged to this world."
Xuanqi's eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled calmly: "Oh..."
Luo Xi was a little surprised: "You knew it a long time ago?"
Xuanqi showed a helpless expression on his face and said softly, "...Shouldn't I know? Fan Xiao and Ling Yuan seem to know everything."
Rosie was stunned, feeling mixed emotions. It turned out that she was the only clown?
She took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, don't worry about these details."
"It's like this. When I was in this world, a couple helped me. I want to repay them now, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Can you help me think about it?"
Xuanqi tilted his head slightly, frowned slightly, and began to think seriously.
His rough appearance formed a sharp contrast with his focused expression at the moment, which was actually quite cute.
"Can we give them money?" Xuanqi's proposal was simple and crude.
Just like how he behaves sometimes.
Luo Xi shook her head, looking a little helpless: "But I don't have any money now, and giving money doesn't seem to express my sincerity."
Xuanqi nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Do they have any problems that need to be solved?"
Luo Xi thought carefully for a while and actually remembered one.
"There's a guy nearby called Brother Long or Brother Leopard. He used to bring a bunch of his thugs to Uncle Chen's noodle shop to cause trouble and collect protection money. But after so many years, I wonder if he's still around." She paused, then smiled and said, "Maybe he's been dealt with by Uncle Hat."
Xuan Qi frowned and asked solemnly, "Is this organization like the Dawn in the Chaos Star Region?"
Luo Qian laughed and shook her head. "How is that possible? They're just some ordinary thugs. It should be easy for you to deal with them. It's just that the people of Blue Star don't have special abilities. You might need to be careful not to use too much force and kill them."
Xuan Qi nodded solemnly in response: "Okay, Master, I will pay attention."
……
Chen's Noodle House is located in a narrow alley. The store is not big, but it is full of the atmosphere of fireworks.
When Luo Xi and Xuan Qi arrived, it was afternoon, not meal time, and there were not many customers in the store.
As soon as they entered the door, the plump Aunt Chen came up to them warmly and asked with a smile: "Please sit here, what would you like to eat?"
Luo Xi stood there, smiling and greeting: "Aunt Chen, long time no see, don't you recognize me?"
Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she said uncertainly: "You are..."
Rosie smiled without saying anything, with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
"Xixi?" Aunt Chen finally recognized her and exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, Uncle Chen, who had heard the noise, came out with a white rag in his hand. "What's wrong, old lady? Who's here?"
"It's Xixi!" Aunt Chen smiled and called out, then turned around and took Luo Xi's hand, her eyes full of joy.
Uncle Chen also came forward, with a simple and warm smile on his face, and patted Luo Xi's shoulder: "Long time no see, Xixi, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
Aunt Chen's eyes fell on Xuanqi standing nearby. A curious expression flashed across her face, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked in a teasing voice, "Xixi, is this your boyfriend?", whispering in Luo Xi's ear, "Xixi, is this your boyfriend?"
Xuan Qi stood aside, his head lowered, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists...
Luo Xi smiled and nodded generously in acknowledgement: "Yes, Aunt Chen."
Xuanqi's hand suddenly loosened, and a subtle nervousness appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath and looked at Luo Qian with a complicated emotion in his eyes.
Uncle Chen asked curiously, "Young man, which country are you from?"
Luo Xi glanced at Xuanqi, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said casually: "Egypt."
Xuanqi immediately nodded in agreement, his expression becoming serious, as if he was confirming an important fact.
Luo Xi looked at his serious expression, and couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help laughing.
She gently covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud, but the smile at the corner of her eyes still betrayed her.
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen didn't think much about it and enthusiastically wanted to treat them to noodles.
Luo Xi looked at their busy figures, her heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "I will come and help too."
"Well, just sit there. You're a guest today, so how can I let you do anything?"
Luo Qian looked at Uncle Chen who was busy and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, please try it and see if my cooking skills have deteriorated."
She had previously used her points to redeem noodle expertise, so she knew everything about making noodles.
She rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the dough with her deft hands, her movements skillful and neat. Her eyes were focused, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were performing an important ritual.
Uncle Chen stood aside and couldn't help but take a few more glances, with a hint of curiosity and admiration in his eyes.
The water boiled, and Luo Xi put the noodles into the pot, expertly controlling the heat. She occasionally stirred gently with chopsticks to ensure that each noodle was evenly cooked.
Throughout the whole process, her movements were smooth and natural, as if she had practiced it countless times.
After the noodles were cooked, Luo Xi put them into a bowl, sprinkled them with chopped green onions and a few leaves of cilantro, and poured a spoonful of hot beef broth over them. The aroma filled the air. She handed the bowl to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, you guys try it."
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen took the bowl and looked at each other with anticipation in their eyes. He picked up a mouthful of noodles with chopsticks, blew it gently, and then put it in his mouth.
His eyes suddenly widened and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
Aunt Chen also took a bite and looked at Luo Qian in surprise.
Uncle Chen put down his chopsticks and exclaimed, "Xixi, these noodles are so delicious! They're even better than what I make, someone who's been making noodles for 30 years. How did you make them?"
Aunt Chen patted Uncle Chen lightly and said, "Why are you like this? This is Xixi's craftsmanship. How can you just ask about it?"
Chen Shuhan smiled and touched his head: "I forgot the rules."
Luo Xi smiled and said, "What does it matter? I don't run a restaurant. Uncle Chen, if you want to know, I'll give you the recipe in a moment."
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen repeatedly declined: "That's impossible."
Luo Xi pretended to be angry: "If you don't agree, you are treating me as an outsider. It's so sad. I have always treated you as family."
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen couldn't refuse, so they agreed.
Xuanqi looked at this scene, his eyes softened instantly, and even his tough facial features seemed to soften a little.
After copying several common noodle recipes from Noodle Mastery to Uncle Chen, Luo Xi said goodbye and left.
As the two walked out of the noodle shop, the doorbell rang crisply.
A man walked in head-on. Xuanqi looked up and subconsciously moved slightly to the side, making way for him. As he walked out of the shop, the autumn sun shone on the street, and a gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness.
Luo Xi took a deep breath, and suddenly 001's voice sounded in her mind.
