Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

He straightened his slightly sore neck, put all the sunflower seed shells in the trash can, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then stood up to take the chef's lunchbox.

Then, carrying a food box in one hand and with the other on his hip, he warned the head chef in a harsh tone: "Head chef, call me by my name next time, okay? If someone finds out I'm eavesdropping, I'll get beaten up."

The head chef was both amused and exasperated by his arrogant and domineering manner: "You actually know that?!"

"You knew I was listening in."

Bai Xiaobao was unreasonable yet straightforward: "Well, I'm fine, and besides, they don't know anything. Just don't expose me next time."

"...Okay, okay, you should go back now, or the food will get cold and won't taste good."

Bai Xiaobao thought about it and agreed, then huffed and wrinkled his nose and said, "Fine, I'll let you off the hook for today. I'm leaving, my Ah Yun is still waiting at home!"

"Go on, go on, is your Ah Yun the most important person? Honestly, slow down, don't spill the soup!"

"Alright, goodbye, chef!"

Bai Xiaobao carried the food box and headed towards home with a grin, towards the depths of West Street.

That is, the residential area of ​​West Street.

Bai Xiaobao and Tang Yue are the same type; they're incredibly outgoing. So, in just a few months since they arrived, he's already become familiar with all the residents in the neighborhood.

They returned home laughing and joking. Shen Zhiyun was enjoying the shade under a peach tree. The peach tree in the neighbor's yard was too big, and its branches had already reached over their wall, peeking out and adding a touch of life to the place.

Instead of entering through the main gate, Bai Xiaobao would always climb over the wall, land steadily on top of it, and then proudly place the food box he had been carefully protecting in front of Shen Zhiyun.

"Ta-da! Ah Yun, look quickly, what's this?"

Shen Zhiyun closed the book, looked up at him, and asked, "What is it?"

"Hmph, of course it's food from Boss Duan's house! Look, it's all your favorite food. Put the book away and let's eat. Only when we're full will we have the energy to continue reading!"

"Okay... I'll collect them all right now!"

Shen Zhiyun smiled faintly, and with a hint of helplessness, wrapped up all the closed books and placed them one by one on the bookshelf in her study.

"Ah Yun, remember to wash your hands when you come out later. Come and eat after you're done."

"it is good."

This is a small courtyard with three rooms, two rooms, one for Bai Xiaobao and one for Shen Zhiyun. The largest room is Shen Zhiyun's study. There is also a small kitchen in a corner, but Bai Xiaobao can't cook, and Shen Zhiyun isn't very good at it either, so the food they make is barely edible.

Therefore, that small kitchen was abandoned long ago.

Inside, there was only an iron pot and basic cooking utensils left.

Compared to the neighbor's house, this little courtyard is like comparing a sesame seed to a watermelon—it's inconspicuous and overshadowed by the peach blossoms.

"Speaking of which, the Li family next door has a really big yard. It's full of food, all kinds of food, and some of the trees are ones I've never even seen before."

Bai Xiaobao wiped the table clean, washed his hands, and sat opposite Shen Zhiyun, gossiping with him about the neighbors.

Shen Zhiyun scooped a spoonful of rice and placed it in front of Bai Xiaobao, then scooped a bowl for herself.

"Let them plant it. It must be for a little girl in the family." Only a little girl would be so greedy.

Bai Xiaobao tilted his head: "Ah, but didn't I tell you before? Once I smelled barbecue in their yard. I peered over the wall for a long time, but there were no girls inside, just a bunch of boys, and one of them was really dark-skinned. I've never seen anyone so dark-skinned before, like a little piece of charcoal. The yard was noisy, and the only woman there was an old lady with a full head of white hair."

"You've seen that old lady before; she brought us peach blossom wine before."

"Oh, it's her," he said, busy with other things and not having time to investigate what was happening around him.

Bai Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, yes, it's that grandma. But speaking of which, the peach blossom wine that grandma brought over was really delicious, but she didn't give us enough. We hadn't even had a few sips before it was all gone."

Thinking of those two bottles of peach blossom wine, he smacked his lips greedily. It really smelled delicious, with the aroma of peach blossoms and a faint hint of peach flavor. It wasn't spicy at all, just slightly sweet.

Shen Zhiyun smiled and raised her eyebrows: "You're just greedy. If you want to drink, go next door and buy a few jars from Grandma later."

Bai Xiaobao paused in picking out vegetables with his chopsticks, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I'm embarrassed. What if they only have a few jars? Besides, it's not very convenient for an elderly person to brew wine."

Shen Zhiyun laughed in exasperation: "Sorry, then don't drink it."

Bai Xiaobao: "...Fine, don't drink then. Eat your food. You have to finish all these dishes today, or you're not allowed to read."

"……understood."

Upon hearing Shen Zhiyun's agreement, Bai Xiaobao pouted smugly and began picking out vegetables for him with great enthusiasm.

Shen Zhiyun just kept eating and didn't stop her.

The small house, half-hidden beneath the peach blossoms, may have a quiet kitchen, but warmth is ever-present.

After finishing his meal, Bai Xiaobao went to Taoyuan Tavern to return the bowls, chopsticks, and food box to the head chef.

After seeing Bai Xiaobao off, Shen Zhiyun changed her clothes, opened the door, and went to the neighboring courtyard.

"Boom, boom, boom."

He reached out and knocked on the door. Grandma Zhao had been at home for the past two days because Zhao Wu had returned. He had been keeping her company and telling her about his experiences in the military.

The old lady hadn't seen her grandson in a long time and missed him terribly. These past few days, Zhao Wu could see his grandmother hovering in front of him almost every time he opened his eyes.

So he simply slept on the small bed outside Grandma Zhao's room every night.

So, the knocking sound we hear now is Zhao Wu running to open the door.

Crunch!

The door opened inwards, and Zhao Wu blinked as he looked at the handsome man before him, who was as beautiful as a god.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" He hasn't been back for a long time. Where did that brat Tang Yue get such a good-looking friend?

It's a man?!

Shen Zhiyun looked at Zhao Wu and thought that this was probably the dark-skinned boy Bai Xiaobao had mentioned. He smiled at Zhao Wu in a friendly manner and spoke softly, but there was a hint of aloofness that made it hard to connect with him: "I'm looking for the old lady who lives in this house. I want to buy some of the peach blossom wine that she gave us before. My friend likes to drink it very much, so I came to see if she had any leftovers that she could sell to me. If she doesn't, that's fine too."

"Oh, peach blossom wine! We have a lot at home. Wait a minute, I'll go to the cellar and get you two jars." It turned out to be a neighbor; he had thought it was that brat's friend.
