After identifying that the "little thief" who had sneaked into his house was Han Xue Nai, Xie Feng went to the second floor to look for the two beauties who were waiting for news probably somewhat anxiously.
At that moment, Xie Feng looked at the dining table with slight surprise in his eyes. All sorts of exquisite looking dishes were spread across the length and breadth of the table; from white meat, red meat, vegetables, grains... There was even green tea to drink and wheat bread to accompany dinner.
"You... did you cook all of this by yourself?" Xie Feng looked at the little girl who seemed to be having difficulty taking off her apron and helped her while carefully asking.
"Yep. Just so you know, Xue Nai is really very good at cooking!" Han Xue Nai replied with a bright smile. Her small white teeth shone like pure pearls without any imperfections and the innocent aura that only a little girl could have naturally oozed from her body.
Xie Feng’s eyes softened unconsciously. Although this was only the second time he had seen Han Xue Nai in his entire life, this little girl who possessed enough power to destroy the entire planet Earth a thousand times in one fell swoop was slowly gaining a small friendly space in his heart.
"So... While I was playing you prepared dinner?" Xie Feng couldn’t help but ask the same question but the meaning behind his question was different.
"That’s right!" Han Xue Nai nodded simply as she carelessly sat down at the table. "Handsome big brother, you’re probably working hard now to follow the advice I gave you, right? Therefore, I decided to help you."
Xie Feng wanted to tell her that it wasn’t necessary, after all he and the two girls could manage anyway; but since the little girl felt happy like this, so be it then.
After sitting down at the table, Xie Yao leaned close to Xie Feng’s ear and whispered in a strange tone, "Big brother Xie Feng... This little girl is...?"
"Em?" Xie Feng blinked several times before slapping his forehead lightly. "Right... Yaoyao, you and Qianxue haven’t met Xue Nai yet."
He took a few seconds to organize his thoughts before saying: "Her name is Han Xue Nai. I met her a week ago while fighting the God of Human Sacrifices... To be honest, even though victory was 100% in my hands, the person who finished that guy off was her."
"Uh?"
Xie Yao was shocked beyond words when she learned the identity of the girl in front of her... How old she was... Ten? It seemed so from her appearance, but to think she already had the power to kill a True God!... She suddenly became worried about how she should speak or act in front of such a character.
Of course, Xie Yao didn’t know too much about power differences or strength ranks, so it was impossible for her to estimate the differences between each.
"Woah! This is really delicious!" Gu Qianxue on the other hand didn’t look worried about anything. She began to eat delicately while trying to strike up a conversation.
"Hehe!" Han Xue Nai looked proud after being praised by Gu Qianxue. She puffed out her small chest as if she wanted to stand out.
Seeing Han Xue Nai’s childish attitude, clearly seeking attention like a small child asking for attention from her parents, Xie Yao’s worries were slightly relieved. She curiously picked up her chopsticks and tasted the food as well. To her surprise, it was so delicious that her eyes widened slightly.
Xie Feng felt skeptical about how delicious the food was. After all, no matter what but Han Xue Nai was only eleven years old so even if she was good at cooking it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise to Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue who had eaten at the best restaurants in China. Curious, he also picked up his chopsticks and took a small piece of meat before putting it in his mouth.
To everyone’s surprise, Xie Feng slowly lowered the chopsticks and frowned, sinking into deep thoughts.
Xie Yao looked at him in confusion. Xie Feng’s expression was not one of distaste, so the taste of the food should definitely not be a problem. Then what...
"Big brother... Doesn’t taste good?" Han Xue Nai looked worried. Her voice had softened and the playful attitude that was so characteristic of her was nowhere to be seen.
"Eh?" Xie Feng snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head. "No, no... Your cooking is so delicious that I was surprised. That’s all."
Seeing the natural smile on his face, Han Xue Nai also smiled brightly and began to eat happily, humming some melody from time to time.
The four people dined in a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The air conditioner kept the temperature inside high enough to make the cold winter outside seem like nothing more than a temporary illusion. Chatting casually while enjoying the delicious dishes prepared by Han Xue Nai, it seemed as if everyone had known each other for a long time rather than just recently.
However, as they dined, Xie Feng became more and more confused. No matter whether it was fish, chicken, or white rice... Everything he tasted felt extremely familiar and nostalgic. It was a difficult feeling to describe, but if he had to give his opinion on it, this dinner was undoubtedly the first time Xie Feng enjoyed being able to taste some dishes so much; not only because of their exquisite taste but also because of that strange feeling of unspeakable familiarity.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Xie Feng thought about it, he was completely sure that he had never tasted anything similar. In the end, he shook his thoughts away from his head and tranquility enjoyed the dinner that the girl sitting next to him carefully prepared.
...
After dinner, they all headed to the kitchen to tidy up the mess that Han Xue Nai had made while cooking. While she picked up all the stuff she had thrown away like an obedient girl, Xie Feng and the two girls divided up other tasks to finish faster.
"Although your cooking is good, it seems tidiness is not your cup of tea, eh?" Xie Feng joked as he finished washing a dish and passed it to his side.
Gu Qianxue took the cleaned dish, dried it, and passed it to her side where Xie Yao waited to put it back in its place.
"Buuu... Big brother, I told you before! This happened because I didn’t know where things were and it really won’t happen again..." Han Xue Nai pouted prettily as she moved several pots to a small piece of cabinet in the corner of the kitchen.
"Really? I wonder about that..." Xie Feng didn’t seem to trust her words.
Gu Qianxue and Xie Yao merely smiled from the side as they listened to the two of them bicker like little kids... Well, Han Xue Nai really was so it was fine, but it was something new to see Xie Feng act like this; usually, he was serious and mature with people he didn’t know, but since he behaved in such a way in front of Han Xue Nai, the girl probably had something special about her that made him act free with her.
By the time they finished tidying up, it was about 23:30 pm, so it was time to go to bed. However, even though they had to wake up early, Xie Feng wanted to have a little fun playing naughty games.
Unfortunately, the world seemed to be against him lately since things were not that simple.
"Xue Nai... Where do you live? Be careful on your way home."
Xie Feng talked calmly, expressing his concern for the girl. However, this was just a cover to politely tell her that they were already going to bed so she should go home as well... After all, Han Xue Nai was thousands of times more powerful than him, who could do anything to her in this world?
However, to Xie Feng’s surprise, Han Xue Nai shook her head and began to walk upstairs as she said resolutely: "I’m not leaving, handsome big brother. I’ll stay here in your house."
"Wh... What!?" Xie Feng almost fell to the ground and quickly followed her to the second floor.
Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue helplessly held each other’s hands and headed to the second floor as well.
"What do you mean by that? What about your big sister? Won’t she miss you?" Xie Feng quickly caught up with Han Xue Nai and stopped her.
If this girl stayed in his house, then he might as well say goodbye to his juicy nights and energetic mornings where he could share a close bond with the two beauties who would be sleeping next to him! Xie Feng could not allow something like this to happen!
Han Xue Nai narrowed her eyes, like a clever little fox who had already seen it all and slowly said, "Big brother... Actually, I’m doing this for the sake of the two big sisters..."
"What... What do you mean?" Xie Feng suddenly felt offended at being watched like a ravenous wolf.
"Hmph... Don’t think I don’t know what you think in your heart!" Han Xue Nai snorted. She walked past him and slipped into his room as if she owned of it as she mercilessly revealed all his secrets, "You think I don’t know that you’re thinking dirty thoughts? Well let me tell you, you can’t do it!"
Xie Feng almost fell to the ground when he heard Han Xue Nai... This girl!
