Chapter 198

Xiao Qi picked Little Fatty off the horse and sat him down on the grass. Little Fatty felt his legs go weak and plopped down on the grass. His face was sweating but he laughed gleefully, extremely happy.

Xiao Qi led the two horses back to the stables and bid Taylor and Coral goodbye before taking Xiao Bao’er to bathe.

When they reached the club building, Xiao Bao’er resumed his serious face, walking with his short legs like a little adult, saying he was going to find his brother.

Seeing the chairman had received Xiao Bao’er, Xiao Qi didn’t pay it any more attention. She went to bathe herself.

After her bath she wore a pair of light washed white jeans, a white t-shirt, the simplest outfit, with little white shoes.

Extremely clean and refreshing, her fair face flushed a little red from the hot water.

After getting ready she went to the cafeteria to eat.

The food here still really attracted Xiao Qi. She felt the Chinese chef cooked better than her, she couldn’t judge the Western food since Xiao Qi had never cooked Western food herself.

Today she went straight to the Chinese food window, and saw the chef was the same middle aged chef as last time. She had asked Old Man Yu and he said the chef’s surname was Wang, used to work in a state-owned factory cafeteria, and had excellent skills.

“Chef Wang, what’s good to eat today?”

“There is. Today’s fish is great, very fresh, caught from the reservoir, I kept it another day so the meat quality is excellent, it can be braised. The vegetables are also good, crisp from the water, Old Yu brought them over, his daughter grew them. The soup today has shark fin soup, very good, would you like some?”

The chef had seen this young girl last time, she had a great appetite, seemed like she knew her food, eating with great enjoyment. These days young girls all clamored about losing weight, one who could eat so much and with such enjoyment was rare.

And last time she had ordered both Chinese and Western dishes, but this time came directly to Chinese. Chef Wang felt like he had gained an edge over the Western chef Xiao Luo.

Old Wang carefully prepared the dishes and went to cook the fish and vegetables that needed to be freshly made, while the soup was already simmering.

Xiao Qi ordered her meal then sat down to wait.

She didn’t just sit around waiting, taking out her English textbook from the afternoon class to look over.

For Xiao Qi now, such conversational English textbooks were very simple. She could even read original English books, so reading this was like taking a break, since she had time anyway.

Meanwhile Xiao Bao’er went to brag to her brothers and uncle that she could ride a horse now.

Although Xiao Qi had held her while riding, they went around a big circle.

She decided she would start to like Taylor now, but liked Xiao Qi even more, and declared that Coral was hers, she had marked and tied a bow on her.

Entering her brother’s office, she dumped out her little bumblebee backpack. Her little bumblebee backpack was padded to protect against falls. Soft, so if she accidentally fell backwards and hit her head it would prevent injury.

There were some things inside too that she wanted to find to gift her new friend Xiao Qi.

She searched around for a while and found a hair tie, shiny, since her hair ties often fell off so she kept a lot of hair ties in her bag. This one was unused, a black band with a shiny little swan on it. She decided this is what she would gift Xiao Qi.

Xiao Shengzhou had been worried to death, but seeing his little sister still so chubby, so serious, so smug, made him want to hit her...

"Why do you need a hair tie, I can't do hair." Xiao Shengzhou really couldn't. Last time when Xiao Bao'er had him help with her hair, he nearly tore the little girl's eyelids off. Seeing the girl's face go from normal to Zhang Fei in an instant frightened him.

Xiao Yu had a fawning expression as he sidled up and said "Uncle can do it, uncle will help you with your hair."

Xiao Bao'er shook her head.

"It's not to do hair. This is a gift for Xiao Qi." Then she gave her brother and uncle a look of disdain, you uncultured people don't understand friendship between friends.

Xiao Shengzhou: ...

Xiao Yu heavily slapped his own head. He was known as a love expert yet hadn't even thought of something as simple as giving a gift.

He often gave gifts to his girlfriends, but subconsciously felt this girl was different, he shouldn't do that.

But don't all girls like gifts?

Xiao Bao'er scorned her brother and uncle as she strode off on her little short legs to find Xiao Qi.

Xiao Shengzhou didn't feel assured letting his sister go alone, and Xiao Yu even more swiftly followed along.

He somehow felt useless, usually able to easily catch all kinds of girls, yet with this young girl he didn't even know how to strike up a conversation, much less with his nephew watching them like a hawk.

His nephew Xiao Shengzhou was completely dense, seeming to have never dated from young, with a face that just looked like it would tattle to the teacher...according to his sister-in-law, he really did report a girl in 3rd grade. He was class monitor, and when his deskmate confessed to him, feeling it would impact his studies he reported it to the teacher...

As the two went out they saw Xiao Qi in the cafeteria reading a book? Reading an English book?

Xiao Shengzhou felt this young girl was really hardworking and outstanding, very good.

Xiao Yu looking at her clean white t-shirt, jeans, little white shoes, felt the girl behind the glass shone, as if he had returned to campus. What was he doing back when he was a student? He had no memory at all.

Meanwhile Chef Wang was happily cooking the steaming hot dishes.

Xiao Bao'er sniffed the air, so fragrant! She was hungry.

Striding on her little short legs she ran to Xiao Qi, the two men worried she might fall but fortunately she arrived safe and sound.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!" Her voice arrived before her body.

Seeing the fat little Xiao Bao'er barreling over like a little cannonball...fortunately Xiao Qi was quite strong, able to catch the little girl, others probably couldn't.

"I picked out a gift for you, to thank you for letting me ride the horse." Xiao Bao'er took out the sparkly hair tie.

She didn't expect the little girl to be so polite, even gifting her, she looked it over, it was quite pretty, and accepted it with a smile.

Thinking next time she saw this chubby little girl, she should also gift her something.

"Thank you, I really like it, it's very nice." Xiao Qi couldn't help but pinch her thick browed big eyed chubby face.

Xiao Shengzhou walked over and saw Xiao Qi pinching his sister's face, making his face twitch uncontrollably, feeling like she was pinching his face.

Xiao Yu was very happy inside, turns out running into this girl made him muddleheaded after all. Girls still liked gifts. He thought about what gift to prepare next time.

At this time the fish was done cooking in the chef's kitchen, ready to serve.

Xiao Bao'er wanted to eat with Xiao Qi, so the two men simply sat to eat together.

Chef Wang had experienced it last time, the two bosses waited for the girl to finish eating before ordering the same dishes she did, so he specially made extra portions ahead of time.

Sure enough a full table of dishes came out.

Xiao Qi didn't have much experience caring for a child, but Xiao Yu being with girlfriends a lot was more seasoned, removing the fish bones and giving Xiao Bao'er her own small pieces of fish meat.

Though Xiao Bao'er looked fat, she was usually quite picky, didn't eat staple foods, only loved snacks and all kinds of desserts and candy.

But today eating with Xiao Qi, seeing Xiao Qi serve herself a third bowl of rice, she hurriedly finished her own bowl and shouted "Another bowl!" still with rice all over her face.

Seeing this, Xiao Shengzhou was astonished. He still remembered when the whole family struggled to get half a bowl of rice into the little madam.

Xiao Qi just really enjoyed eating here, mainly because the ingredients here were very good, and the chef was skilled too. Xiao Qi herself had beginner cooking skills, so had a sense of judging cooking. This Chef Wang must have specialized skills, plus her own senses of taste and smell were acute, good tasty food was especially delightful, put her in a good mood so she ate more. Others seeing her eat with such enjoyment unconsciously were influenced.

Under Xiao Qi's influence, Xiao Shengzhou and Xiao Yu also ate a lot.

The only downside was Xiao Yu didn't get to speak more than a few sentences with Xiao Qi, seeing her just focusing on eating, occasionally interacting with Xiao Bao'er, completely ignoring him...

He used to feel he was the center of attention wherever he went, but for some reason with this girl he felt like some passive stealth skill had activated, deliberately ignoring him.
