The others were taken aback when they saw his white hair. Black Bear joked, "Young Master is really something! He can pull off any hair color!"
"Lingzi! Where did you buy this hair dye? How come there's not a trace of it? I've grown two new gray hairs, can you dye mine too?" The fat man ruffled Ling Xiao's hair, then ruffled his own hair, and stretched his head toward Ling Xiao. This scene reminded Ling Xiao of the female monkeys in the zoo picking lice off the male monkeys, which gave him goosebumps all over.
Ling Xiao saw that the fat guy's head was almost touching his face, and slapped him: "Go away! Go play somewhere else!"
"It's beautiful, like an elf who has wandered into the human world." Jieyuhua also praised, but the sense of alienation from the world on the child seemed even heavier. The child always made him feel a sense of estrangement, as if he did not belong to this world, and he could not grasp him in the next second.
"Master Hua knows how to talk!" Ling Xiao said to Xie Yuhua with a smile.
"How is your sister?" Xie Yuhua asked.
"I haven't seen her yet; it seems the formalities aren't finished." Ling Xiao shrugged, then said with a hint of melancholy, "We've had very little contact since she got married." He seemed to have said something, but it also felt like he hadn't finished.
Jieyuhua comforted him, "It's okay, you still have us with you, and your sister also needs to have her own life."
Ling Xiao nodded, as if he had figured something out, and gave a sweet smile: "Thank you, Brother Xiaohua."
Xie Yuhua patted his head and whispered, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just make me another midnight snack!" Heaven knows he didn't sleep well all night yesterday when the child wasn't home. Touching the child's hair made him feel warm inside. He didn't know what was wrong with him.
"Me too!" said the young man next to him at just the right moment.
Ling Xiao nodded: "Okay, see you at the restaurant tonight." After saying that, Ling Xiao went back to his room.
When Ling Xiao came out that evening, he found Xie Yuhua and Xiao Ge already sitting there waiting.
"Have you been waiting long?" Ling Xiao greeted him gently.
"Not long, anyway I have work to deal with, and I have my buddy here with me," Xie Yuhua replied.
Ling Xiao put on an apron and came out of the kitchen with a small notebook in his hand, saying, "Ahem, hello to both of you! Welcome to Ling Xiao's Private Kitchen. How can I help you?"
Jieyuhua and Xiaoge were taken aback. It was the first time they had ever seen Ling Xiao act silly. However, Ling Xiao like this, with his big, blinking eyes, was really... cute!
"What kind of food do you have at your restaurant?" Xie Yuhua asked cooperatively.
"We have everything! As long as you order, we can make anything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water."
I don't know if the waiter did it on purpose, but he actually ordered a roasted pigeon.
Ling Xiao deliberately half-covered his mouth and said, "Oh! I'm so sorry, sir! The pigeons have laid eggs today. As you know, the new mother needs to rest and recuperate..." Ling Xiao rambled on and on, and the young man listened quietly to his nonsense. After he finished speaking, he shyly turned his head to the side.
Jieyu looked at him. His child seemed even more alluring after his hair changed color. The white shirt was slightly see-through under the light, and the apron covered most of it, but it perfectly accentuated the child's waistline. When the child moved, all of this seemed to be there and not there, making one's heart itch and want to see more clearly.
When he came to his senses, he found the child looking at him, as if asking, "What about you?"
Xie Yuhua originally wanted to order another bowl of wontons, but after looking at the waiter, he thought about it and decided against it, simply saying, "Whatever. I'll eat whatever you make."
Ling Xiao nodded: "Since you two guests have both decided on this matter, then I will take the liberty of making the decision myself! Please wait a moment."
After a while, Ling Xiao took out two plates of egg rolls and handed them to the two of them: "Please give me your valuable opinions!"
Jieyuhua picked up an egg roll and put it in her mouth. The egg roll was exquisite and beautiful, and its texture was delicate and silky. The taste was even better than that of the chef at the Crescent Moon Hotel. Had the child specially learned how to make it? But how could he have the time?
"Beep~biubiubiu, our business hours have ended and the feedback section is closed. The next opening time will depend on the owner's mood. We will humbly listen to the valuable feedback from our customers. Goodbye!"
The understanding man understood the meaning of those words: to listen attentively does not mean to accept, that is, to listen but not necessarily to change. Ah, his child is really interesting.
The young man nodded in agreement, a slight smile playing on his lips—a smile so subtle it was almost imperceptible unless examined under a microscope.
"Master Hua, could you please help me untie my apron?" Ling Xiao asked Jieyuhua.
He turned his back to Xie Yuhua, who untied the knot on his apron. After the apron was untied, the child's shirt bounced back and emitted a faint fragrance. At that moment, Xie Yuhua realized that he and the child seemed to be very close.
Ling Xiao hung up his apron and said to them, "I'm off work! Enjoy your meal!"
As she reached the corner, she turned back to them and said, "By the way, I'll leave the cleanup to you two after the meal!" She then tilted her head and said "Goodnight!" before disappearing around the corner.
