Chapter 725: Chapter 723 Appetite is very big_1

"Why is Xu not a good person anymore?" she contested, pouting her lips like a little squirrel angered for its pinecone being taken away.

Just today, Xu actively helped her carry her books into the classroom.

How can a boy so willing to help others not be a good person?

"And why is he not suitable to be a lover?"

If there were a warm man like him to be a boyfriend, that girl would be so happy she would practically fly!

Jiang Qingchen frowned, "Can’t explain it to you, just remember what I said."

"Oh..." Muxia pouted but didn’t take it to heart.

She would make her own judgements about whether a person was good or bad.

After returning home, Muxia finished her homework and started to think about how she could pursue Xu.

But, with zero experience in love, she couldn’t think of any good methods.

Speaking of having zero love experience, she really should thank her elder brother for nipping her budding romances in the bud time and time again.

As for why Muxia ended up thinking that it was only Chuanchuan who cooked, when it was actually Jiang Qingchen and Chuanchuan together, naturally, it’s thanks to Jiang Qingchen’s craftiness, passing the entire buck to Chuanchuan.

"Lu, how does it taste?" In the kitchen, Xia Ningxing was stuffing a piece of braised pork into Lu Tingli’s mouth.

After tasting it, Lu Tingli immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and praised, "The meat is tender and melts in the mouth, it’s delicious. My wife’s cooking skills are getting better and better, I’m completely unable to leave you now!"

"What? Were you thinking of leaving me?" Xia Ningxing turned around, glaring at him.

"Of course not." Lu Tingli rested his chin on top of her head, "I want to be with you for a lifetime!"

Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, evidently not the least bit concerned about avoiding the ears of children.

Even though Muxia had grown up seeing such scenes from childhood, she couldn’t help but feel a little cheesy now.

However...

She did come up with a good idea!

To capture a man’s heart, start with his stomach!

Look at her dad, didn’t he just say he couldn’t live without her mom?

She would learn to cook!

Make lunch boxes for Xu!

After capturing his stomach, would she still worry about not being able to chase after him?

Muxia bit happily on the end of her black pen.

"Mom, my dear mom, the most beautiful mom, let me help you cook!" Putting down her pen, Muxia eagerly ran to the kitchen.

The reason she said help with the cooking instead of learning to cook.

That’s because she knew that her parents were not fools, if she were to say that, they would definitely be suspicious of her.

After all, how could a girl who had no interest in cooking for over a decade suddenly want to learn overnight?

Even so, Xia Ningxing still expressed doubt, "Why do you suddenly want to cook?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, observing the girl.

It’s hard to believe how time flies, the little girl who used to be full of childishness is about to grow into a young lady.

"Of course, it’s to help lessen mom’s load," said Muxia dutifully.

"Is it? I thought maybe there’s a boy you like, and you want to cook for him," Xia Ningxing said with a half-smile, as if she had seen through everything.

Muxia stiffened, instinctively protesting, "How could that be, mom, don’t talk nonsense, it’s embarrassing!"

As she spoke, she even bashfully covered her face.

Xia Ningxing laughed softly, not continuing the topic, "Didn’t you say you wanted to help me cook? Then come over here quickly."

She wasn’t that conservative; it was normal for a child of that age to begin experiencing the first stirrings of affection.

As long as they didn’t do anything inappropriate and it didn’t affect their studies, she wouldn’t interfere too much.

Moreover, with Jiang Qingchen around, for every romance that bloomed in Muxia’s life, he would surely nip one in the bud eventually.

So, it wasn’t her place to worry.

"Okay, Mom!"

Muxia had no idea that Xia Ningxing had seen right through her little schemes, and didn’t even take them seriously.

At first, Muxia was all thumbs in the kitchen. After all, being pampered from a young age, that was normal.

But under Xia Ningxing’s guidance, her skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Soon, she could handle cooking on her own. While the taste was not as good as Xia Ningxing’s dishes, it was still extremely delicious.

The cafeteria dishes at Yizhong were widely known to be mediocre.

But the school insisted that students eat lunch in the cafeteria.

So, everyone had to endure it.

By noon, Muxia was carrying a thermal container filled with dishes she cooked herself, rushing to the cafeteria as fast as she could.

The cafeteria for the high school and middle school sections were together, just on different floors—one on the first and second floors, and the other on the third and fourth floors.

Muxia had already scoped out Xu Zeming’s usual spot in the cafeteria, so as soon as she arrived on the third floor, she spotted him immediately.

Seats in the cafeteria were arranged according to classroom locations, which meant that Jiang Qingchen was right next to him.

"Qingchen!" Muxia walked over with a beaming smile, carrying her container.

Jiang Qingchen never expected to see the girl here and was momentarily stunned.

Why is she here?

In his memory, this seemed to be the first time she had taken the initiative to come to him.

His heart couldn’t help but speed up, thumping fast and sweet.

And the corners of his lips lifted uncontrollably.

"Why aren’t you eating downstairs? What brings you up here?" he asked softly, suppressing the joy in his heart.

"I’ve made some dishes and wanted you to try them. Let’s have Xu join us too," Muxia said as she placed the container on the table, her cheeks flushed and shyly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

Jiang Qingchen was both surprised and delighted, "Did you specially bring food for me?"

"Yes, yes I did," Muxia replied dryly.

Well, not really.

But if she admitted it was for Xu, wouldn’t her intentions become obvious to everyone?

"Since it’s food you brought for me, then let’s not invite him to join," said Jiang Qingchen, not wanting to share the food made by the girl with anyone else, and took the container for himself.

The smile on Muxia’s face gradually stiffened.

She finally understood the feeling of shooting herself in the foot!

"Uh, Qingchen, I’ve made quite a lot. You probably can’t finish it all. Maybe we should give some to Xu," Muxia pleaded.

She didn’t want the guy she liked to miss out on the food she’d worked hard to make.

Seeing Muxia mention Xu Zeming every few words, Jiang Qingchen’s eyes narrowed, and he gripped his chopsticks a bit tighter.

He thought he understood what was going on.

Perhaps it wasn’t her deskmate who had a crush on Xu Zeming, but Muxia herself!

No wonder she was so red in the face yesterday, pulling on him and asking all those questions.

If he wasn’t wrong, this meal was made by the girl especially for another guy!

Ha!

He had gotten excited for nothing.

Jiang Qingchen felt a pang of hurt, as if his heart was being cut with a knife.

However, even upon realizing the truth, Jiang Qingchen was not willing to give up the food: "Don’t worry, I have a big appetite. I can definitely finish it all!"

He deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Hmph!

She wants to use him as a shield? Not a chance!
