260: His Bark Is Worse than His Bite

His Bark Is Worse than His Bite

'Am I...in the same city as Big Brother!?!'1

Xiang Yi was a little confused.

"Xiang Chen just has a bark that's worse than his bite..." Xiang Feng paused for a while before continuing leisurely, "But he's at least a decent human being in front of you. Don't be scared, I'm here to back you up!"

Xiang Yi said, "Uncle, do you dare to join me..."

Xiang Feng was speechless.

He didn't dare to. :)

"Hello? Hey— The signal is not very good, I'll hang up now!!!"

He ended the video call. 

Xiang Yi sighed and sat helplessly on the sofa in the living room, hugging her knees.

Of course she wanted to see her eldest brother and resolve the misunderstanding with him, but she was already afraid of him... and she currently had no knowledge of what 'that person' had done to Big Brother.

The unknown was the most terrifying.

After all, Xiang Chen was the devil who had been beating up his uncle and younger brother since he was a kid. 

He was really good at fighting. 

When she was bullied in kindergarten, her fourth brother was the first person she complained to and afterward, he went to her third brother, and later on her second brother got involved...

In the end, all four of them got bullied together...

They ended up in a devastated state.

In the end, her eldest brother, Xiang Chen, intervened and defeated the bullies before suavely taking his younger siblings home. 

"What are you thinking about? Why do you keep sighing?" the man asked in a low and alluring voice. 

Xiang Yi raised her head and looked at Shi Sui with glistening eyes. 

The only person in this world who wasn't afraid of Xiang Chen was...

The person right in front of her. 

Xiang Yi raised her head to look up at him. "Shi Sui..." 

Shi Sui asked calmly, "Yes?" 

"Um... Do you want to catch up with my eldest brother over a meal? I remember that you two used to be quite close to each other..." 

Shi Sui assented and asked, "Are you scared of Xiang Chen?" 

"..."

"What should we do? I'm a bit scared of him too." 

"Well… forget it then..." 

"However, if I'm accompanying you, I won't be scared anymore," Shi Sui said with a smirk and a warm gaze in his eyes.

Xiang Yi leaped down from the couch and exclaimed in surprise, "You're so nice!" 

Seeing how delighted she was, Shi Sui smiled. 

...

The two of them had lunch in the underwater seafood restaurant which was separated from the blue and clear seawater by a layer of glass. They were surrounded by corals and marine creatures that swam past from time to time. It was as romantic as a fairytale. 

The food served was delicious, especially the first appetizer. Smelling the unique aroma of the food, Xiang Yi murmured with uncertainty, "Seaweed?"

It was a type of seaweed that she had seen before in a certain fast-paced world with advanced medicine. The seaweed was not edible raw, but it could be used as a spice after some processing.

The most important thing was that it had medicinal value!

Hence, when the chef came out to interact with the patrons, Xiang Yi asked him which ingredient of the dish was contributing to the unique aroma. 

Hearing her calmly report the names of the ingredients and seasonings used, and even the cooking technique, the chef's eyes widened in shock.

'What... What an amazing sense of taste she has! She managed to tell so much about the ingredients after just taking a bite?'

However, the excellent head chef wasn't stingy with sharing about the recipe of his dish. After all, it had been tested and proven that the dishes served at an elite restaurant could not be replicated entirely even if one were to strictly follow the original recipe.

"Thank you for your generosity," Xiang Yi immediately thanked the chef respectfully before sending the name of that seaweed to Xiang Li.

Perhaps, it could be a great medical discovery!
