護花近衛 - 第72章 那就勉強吃點吧 - 墨香閣

......

Wei Zhao had learned from Uncle Qing that if he had not come, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would eat breakfast in the school cafeteria every morning, but Wei Zhao did not find cooking any trouble.

There was some leftover rice from last night, and Wei Zhao planned to make egg fried rice, which was no effort at all.

Wei Zhao got dressed, left his room, and walked toward the dining room.

He opened the kitchen refrigerator and found a ham sausage and several eggs. Wei Zhao was not worried that these things would be expired, for Uncle Qing checked often and stocked the fridge with fresh food. Although the two little princesses seldom cooked for themselves, it did no harm to be prepared, and when Gu Mengyao got hungry at night she could at least fry herself an egg.

He searched for a long time but could not find any green onions. Ever since the Onion-Tossing Song became popular, the price of green onions had gone up, so Wei Zhao had to give up on chopped scallions.

Wei Zhao often made egg fried rice at home, so very soon a fragrant pan of fried rice was ready. He served himself a bowl, finished it quickly, then threw the bowl into the sink, washed it clean, and put it back on the rack.

Afraid that what happened yesterday would happen again, Wei Zhao simply washed the bowls and chopsticks he had used and put them away himself.

Perhaps he had made some noise, for before long he saw Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu come yawning downstairs in their pajamas. Both sets of pajamas had cartoon prints and looked very cute, rather out of keeping with their age, but when Wei Zhao remembered that they usually watched cartoons, he understood... girls... especially young ladies like them, were all a little childish.

Below the nightgowns, two pairs of smooth bare legs set Wei Zhao's blood surging. Could these two girls not be more careful at home? Did they really think he did not exist? Did they think he would not dare to push them down... well, he really did not quite dare...

"Wow, Brother Arrow, you made us breakfast again!" Shen Yushu wrinkled her pretty nose and followed the aroma toward the kitchen: "Ah, egg fried rice today! That's my favorite."

"Cough, cough..." Gu Mengyao was a little displeased at how obvious Shen Yushu was being. How could you let that guy Wei Zhao get so smug?

"Sister Yaoyao, will you have some?" Shen Yushu took a bowl, served herself a bowl, and then asked Gu Mengyao.

"I... I don't like it." Gu Mengyao still could not put aside her pride. Eating what Wei Zhao made would be like being beholden to him, would it not? Although she had eaten it yesterday and the day before, today... Alas, Xiaoshu really was too much. If you are going to eat, just eat, why put on that utterly delicious look.

"Eat together. I made plenty, and if you don't eat it will go to waste." Wei Zhao smiled as if he saw through Gu Mengyao's insincerity.

"Oh, the teacher says we must not waste food, so I'll force myself to eat a little." Gu Mengyao hesitated a moment, then took the way out Wei Zhao offered her.

"Heh..." Wei Zhao said nothing. So the young lady knew about thrift now?

"Eat slowly. I'm going out for a walk." Afraid Gu Mengyao would feel awkward with him there, Wei Zhao turned and walked out of the villa...

"Sister Yaoyao, haven't you noticed? Brother Arrow is a very considerate man. He can fight, he can cook, and his looks... he looks quite handsome now," Shen Yushu whispered to Gu Mengyao as she ate her egg fried rice.

"Xiaoshu, come on? Two bowls of noodles and one bowl of egg fried rice were enough to win you over? Now you're speaking up for him?" Gu Mengyao stared at Shen Yushu with wide eyes: "Don't tell me you're in heat?"

"You're the one in heat!" Shen Yushu blushed and said: "I'm just afraid someone else will snatch him first, and then you'll regret it. I think that vixen Qiu Lingshan is quite interested in Brother Arrow. They have only known each other for two and a half days and they are already getting intimate."
