I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo
Chapter 63: Was it the wrong dish or the wrong person?
"Hello?" Xie Yuhua answered the phone.
"Master Hua, how's your hand?" Ling Xiao's gentle voice came through the receiver, making Xie Yuhua feel inexplicably at ease.
"Hei Xiazi applied medicine to my wound, and it doesn't hurt anymore," Xie Yuhua replied with a smile.
"That's good!" Ling Xiao paused and then said, "I'm not very good at using this phone to send messages. Typing is much slower. After thinking about it, I realized that making a phone call is more convenient. So, I'm really sorry I couldn't reply to your message in time." Ling Xiao's tone was sincere, earnest, and a little cautious.
The only flaw was that he was expressionless and his eyes were cold, making it impossible to imagine that the voice was coming from this person.
"No need to apologize, I should be thanking you. But why did you call Hei Xiazi over?" Xie Yuhua was a little confused. Wouldn't it have been better to just call the butler? Why bring Hei Xiazi back?
“The other day, the housekeeper told me that he’s getting old and his legs aren’t very convenient anymore, so I plan to give him a pension in a few days and let him go home. Elderly people shouldn’t always be out and about; it’s time for him to enjoy his retirement with his children.” Ling Xiao’s tone was gentle, as if he was genuinely considering the housekeeper’s feelings.
“But I remember that Steward Yang’s son is gone, isn’t he?” Xie Yuhua asked.
"Really?" Ling Xiao was taken aback.
He then explained in a serious tone, "I really didn't know. He was sent by my sister to take care of me. I always just accepted his gifts and didn't ask for details."
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Jieyuhua, "Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I'm afraid I would have offended them completely if I had told them." He then asked, "Where did Master Hei go?"
When Xieyuhua heard him mention Heixiazi, she smiled helplessly and said, "He said he would make me shredded pork with green peppers but without them."
"Stir-fried pork with green peppers without green peppers? That must be delicious!" Ling Xiao praised. Just hearing his voice, Jieyuhua could imagine the child's eyes sparkling.
Black Bear came out humming a song, and upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, he replied, "Young Master, you have excellent taste! It's a pity you're not here right now, otherwise I, Black Bear, would definitely make you a bowl for free!" He then sang, "A true friend is hard to find!"
"Blackie's ears are really sharp!" Ling Xiao exclaimed.
"That's right! What's this called? This is what they call 'Heaven closes a window for the blind, but opens a door for them'!" Black Bear joked.
Jieyuhua switched her phone to speakerphone mode, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the stir-fried pork with green peppers (which didn't have any). After tasting it, she commented, "The taste is not bad, but I still prefer to eat wontons." She paused and added, "And... there's no staple food..."
Ling Xiao laughed and scolded Xie Yuhua when he heard her words: "Hey, Blackie, this is too much. You cook for us without letting us eat staple food, only meat. Aren't you afraid that our Flower Master will cough in the middle of the night?"
"Hehe! The blind man is wrong! Master Hua? The blind man will cook for you right away!" Black Bear said, bending over to Jieyuhua, his posture extremely humble.
Jieyuhua seemed a little regretful and said, "By the time you finish cooking the rice, the dishes will be cold, and then I'll have to wait for you to reheat them. If this goes on and on, I won't be able to eat tonight!"
"Then let me make you some instant noodles! And I'll give you two poached eggs!" Black Bear said ingratiatingly. After all, this was a million-dollar deal, and the blind man couldn't afford to offend these two gentlemen.
"Actually, I'm not hungry." Xie Yuhua said somewhat dejectedly. After a while, she looked at Hei Xiazi with a determined expression and said, "I just want to know, is it absolutely necessary to have wontons?" Is it only children's wontons that are acceptable, and his own wontons are not? Even if you change the dish to Hei Xiazi's stir-fried green peppers and pork, it still won't work. Is it the dish that's wrong, or the person that's wrong?
