C10 A Terrifying Supplement
"What? Are you afraid of me?" As Xi Yubo spoke, he placed his hand on the table and supported his chin. His gaze was somewhat dark and gloomy, which made Qiao Ya's brain short-circuited for a moment. She stuttered and did not know what to say.
After thinking for a long time, Qiao Ya nodded and then shook her head.
Xi Yubo looked at Qiao Ya's inexplicable actions and his face became even colder.
"What does this mean? Are you afraid or not?" This time Xi Yubo asked with a heavier tone. He stared at Qiao Ya.
Qiao Ya felt uncomfortable when Xi Yubo looked at her like that. She mustered up her courage and answered, "Yes!"
Xi Yubo heard Qiao Ya's answer. For some reason, his eyes showed some indifference. He did not know whether it was embarrassment or disappointment. He let out a long sigh and did not speak anymore.
After a while, the maid brought the porridge over. Qiao Ya had eaten so much fish and meat that she was sick of it. She felt relieved that she had not eaten such simple food for a long time.
To be honest, Qiao Ya felt an invisible pressure every day when she ate. The pressure was really huge, and it made her unable to breathe.
Just as the porridge was ready, Qiao Ya saw Qiao Ya carefully pick up a spoon and give Xi Yubo a bowl. She was trying to please him. She then gave herself another bowl.
"Today's actions are quite nimble. I usually call you several times when I eat. " After saying that, Xi Yubo picked up the spoon and started eating.
Qiao Ya only cared about herself eating and did not pay attention to Xi Yubo at all. She was not stupid to not tell Xi Yubo the truth. Every time she ate, Qiao Ya would complain that the food was too much and too sumptuous!
After a while, the maid brought a few more things over. There were dozens of different dishes. Qiao Ya originally had a good mood to eat porridge in big mouthfuls, but her good mood was ruined again.
"What. . . Are these?" Qiao Ya was rendered speechless. Why did he need so many side dishes to eat a porridge? At this moment, Qiao Ya really had a feeling of speechlessness.
Just as the butler was about to speak, Xi Yubo took the lead and said, "Sweet and sour peanuts, bird's nest with cold sauce, fruit salad, glutinous rice wrapped in fresh osmanthus, red sugar pickled vegetables, raw bird's nest. . . "
Xi Yubo patiently told Qiao Ya, but when Qiao Ya saw the oily face of food on the table, she immediately lost her appetite. Qiao Ya felt that if she did not take a bite, she would not be grateful. So she picked up one of the side dishes that Xi Yubo did not have the time to introduce and immediately put it in her mouth. Then Qiao Ya chewed slowly. The taste was quite good. Although it did not look very good on the outside, It was indeed very fresh and delicious.
Qiao Ya took one bite after another. Xi Yubo watched Qiao Ya eat with relish. He did not say anything else.
"This taste is quite good. Don't you want one?" Qiao Ya looked at Xi Yubo and said. Xi Yubo did not pay any attention to her. He lowered his head and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before leaving.
"I am working at home today. I need to talk to you in the study room. " Xi Yubo said coldly as he went upstairs. Qiao Ya looked at Xi Yubo's back. She looked back at the housekeeper and asked, "What is this?"
Qiao Ya pointed at the insect dish on the table and was curious.
"This is a pupa with rich protein. " The butler bowed and explained with a smile.
Qiao Ya felt disgusted and shouted, "Xi Yubo, you pervert, I feel guilty. You let me eat this worm so early in the morning!"
After saying that, Qiao Ya rushed straight to the bathroom.
She thought about when she could live a normal life! Her heart felt inexplicably miserable. In his eyes, there was a stable job, to be able to eat normal food, to be able to talk and laugh every day. That was the life she wanted. And now, it was definitely not what she, Qiao Ya, wanted.
Qiao Ya looked at the scenery outside the window with a melancholic expression and a bit of bleakness in her heart. Suddenly, there was an inexplicable sound of footsteps outside the door.
Before that person knocked on the door, Qiao Ya went to the door and took the initiative to open it. The butler outside the door looked at Qiao Ya with an expression of surprise and said very politely, "Miss Qiao, it is time to go down and eat. " The butler bowed and left after saying that.
Qiao Ya stuck out her tongue. The people of Xi family were indeed well-trained and did not make any unnecessary movements. She sighed and put on her clothes reluctantly before going downstairs.
When they went downstairs, Qiao Ya saw Xi Yuting and Chen Yi. She was a little surprised but at the same time, she could not help but feel happy in her heart.
If she was eating with them, Xi Yubo wouldn't make things difficult for her like usual. Just as Qiao Ya was feeling extremely happy, a familiar voice sounded, "Xiao Ya, come quickly. "
So it was Xi Yuting. Qiao Ya had not yet fully arrived. She had already noticed. She really liked this girl and kept waving at her, showing a very warm attitude.
When Qiao Ya heard the sound, her heart was also filled with joy. She immediately ran towards her like a child, childish and cute.
Seeing this, Xi Yubo looked at Qiao Ya and said in a low voice, "Hmph, your movements are quite fast now. "
Qiao Ya did not pay attention to Xi Yubo's words. The housekeeper quickly helped her pull the chair beside Xi Yubo. Qiao Ya smiled and slowly sat down.
The two of them looked at Qiao Ya and Xi Yubo in confusion, full of questions.
Qiao Ya, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and prepared to eat. They naturally did not know that Qiao Ya was trying her best to stall for time every time she ate here.
The dishes in front of her were five dishes and a soup. Qiao Ya heaved a sigh of relief. This amount of food was just right for four people to eat.
Qiao Ya immediately put a piece of egg roll into her mouth. It was really delicious. Qiao Ya chewed carefully like this and found that there was something unusual behind the egg roll. There was an extra tentacle coming out. Because of the silkworm last time, she still had some lingering fear.
So at this time, Qiao Ya was so scared that she almost jumped up. She immediately threw the food on the plate and shouted loudly before standing up.
Qiao Ya's actions surprised the three people on the scene. Xi Yubo glared at Qiao Ya angrily.
"What are you doing!"
Qiao Ya sat down shakily and started fiddling with the egg roll on the table.
"Is there something else in the egg roll?" Qiao Ya shifted her gaze to the butler and asked softly. Everyone present looked at her with puzzlement, not knowing what was going on.
"There is a small shrimp inside. " The butler said in a low voice.
At this moment, Qiao Ya let out a long sigh of relief. So it was the tail of the prawn. Thinking of this, she picked up the egg roll again and started to eat it in small bites. Qiao Ya felt that her nerves must have been tortured by Xi Yubo!
Xi Yuting who was eating at the side saw Qiao Ya's appearance and only felt that it was funny, "What is it? What is inside this egg roll?" Xi Yubo Ting asked with concern.
Qiao Ya hurriedly shook her head and did her best to control her facial expression. "Nothing, nothing. "
"Xiao Ya, are you alright?" Xi Yuting was a little worried, "Are you feeling unwell? I am fine. If you are feeling unwell, just tell me. "
Qiao Ya shook her head and carefully asked, "Can I say it?"
"Of course. " Xi Yuting's gaze was gentle.
Qiao Ya saw what happened and immediately told her about Xi Yubo feeding her insects in the morning.
Sure enough, Xi Yuting laughed loudly when she heard that. Xi Yubo stared at Qiao Ya with a black line on his face and did not say anything.
"What's so funny? Replenish the protein, okay?" Xi Yubo was a little unhappy and his tone was full of irritation.
Seeing Qiao Ya's appearance, Xi Yuting said with some heartache, "Xiao Ya, don't be afraid. There are no bugs in these dishes. " Xi Yuting said as she gave Qiao Ya a bowl of soup.
"Oh right, after eating, you and I will go to the supermarket. The others, stay at home. " Qiao Ya looked at Xi Yubo and was surprised. When did she have to go to the supermarket?
