Chapter 12: This Noodle Is So Sweet ❤️~”

“No way! I’m as pure as a flower ❤️~ There’s no way I’d be thinking weird things. But you, fishly ❤️~ Sister Yunchu, could it be you’re thinking some dirty thoughts?”

“Oh my gosh ~ Fishy sister ❤️~, don’t tell me you’re getting all worked up again over a girl who’s younger than you? How shameless ❤️~”

As Ye Xiao spoke, the corners of her mouth lifted into a sly smile, a grin so mischievous that even covering it with her hand couldn’t hide it.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunchu, hearing Ye Xiao’s words, turned red from her face all the way down to her neck.

She was feeling so strange today. Just like Ye Xiao had said, her mind had been filled with all sorts of messy thoughts. Every time Ye Xiao got close, her brain would go into overdrive, and she’d find herself feeling something uncontrollable.

Even now, although the noodles were already in the pot, her body seemed to be reacting again.

Like Ye Xiao said, maybe she really was feeling something for the younger girl, even if Ye Xiao was only a few months younger.

Shen Yunchu felt she was being downright inappropriate. She’d never realized before that she could become this kind of person who would get carried away with someone like Ye Xiao.

“Sister Yunchu is really fun to tease, hehe~ But for now, no naughty stuff ❤️~”

Seeing Shen Yunchu’s flushed face as she fought to maintain her composure, Ye Xiao felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, as though even the air around them had become sweet.

Of course, everyone has their limits, and even someone who usually plays the role of a sweet, obedient girl can explode when pushed too far.

Shen Yunchu’s face was still red, but her eyebrows lifted into a more serene smile.

Ye Xiao felt a sinking feeling in her chest, sensing something was off.

Has she gone too far with Shen Yunchu?

Before she could react, Shen Yunchu had already blocked the doorway to the kitchen.

“Um… Sister Yunchu, can you move? I really need to use the bathroom!”

Ye Xiao wanted to escape, but there was no way Shen Yunchu, who was at her limit, was going to let her get away this time.

“Xiao Xiao, when I was begging for mercy in the bathroom earlier, you didn’t let me off so easily!”

Her voice was soft and gentle, but Ye Xiao could feel the chills down her spine.

Shen Yunchu had totally snapped!

Her hand hadn’t even recovered from the cramp earlier. She wasn’t ready to face another intense situation so soon—it could end badly!

In the cramped kitchen, the two girls stood with flushed faces by the stove.

Shen Yunchu hummed a happy tune to herself as she stood in front of the stove.

Although she didn’t win, she hadn’t exactly lost either.

In the end, it was a tie.

Unfortunately, the first batch of noodles in the pot had turned into mush.

Even with her formidable skills, Ye Xiao could only manage a draw this time, but she was already plotting her comeback once her hand healed.

“Xiao Xiao, you know you shouldn’t mess around in the kitchen when I’m cooking, right? Do you realize your mistake now?”

Shen Yunchu’s face still held the afterglow of their playful encounter, making her words lack any real authority.

After all, her voice had been much louder than Ye Xiao’s during their “duet” earlier.

“You’re such a boring fishy sister ❤️~ You’re no fun to tease ~”

A true warrior knows when to yield and when to strike!

On the surface, Ye Xiao seemed to admit defeat for now, but in her heart, she was already planning her next move.

Once her hand recovered, she’d be back in action. Could Shen Yunchu really stand a chance against her? No way! She’d do it again!

“Let’s hurry up and have lunch, Xiao Xiao!”

Shen Yunchu looked at the mushy noodles and sighed with regret before pushing Ye Xiao out of the kitchen and preparing a fresh bowl of noodles for her.

Before long, Shen Yunchu emerged from the kitchen with two bowls of wonton noodles.

“Here! Try it!”

Ye Xiao looked at the wonton noodles Shen Yunchu placed in front of her. They looked pretty ordinary, but the aroma of the hot chicken broth was tempting.

And she was indeed hungry.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiao picked up her chopsticks and lifted some noodles toward her mouth. She glanced up to see Shen Yunchu’s face, filled with nervous anticipation.

She really wants me to compliment her, huh? What if it’s not good, will she get upset?

Shen Yunchu’s heart was torn with anxiety.

As Ye Xiao took a bite, her expression changed. Her cheeks flushed from the heat, and her eyes sparkled with a strange light.

Her face looked like she might melt in the next second!

How should she describe it? It was way better than she had expected. The taste was actually pretty good.

Although the chicken broth and wontons were from a restaurant, it didn’t overshadow how bouncy and smooth the noodles Shen Yunchu had made were.

“Not bad at all. Who knew that a fishy sister ❤️~ could be so capable after all!”

Getting non-sarcastic praise from Ye Xiao was practically a miracle.

“Really? That’s great! That’s such a relief!”

Shen Yunchu finally relaxed and began to eat her mushy noodles.

Although the overcooked noodles were not exactly good, the sweetness in Shen Yunchu’s heart made even the mush taste delicious.

She’d woken up this morning knowing that Ye Xiao, after a morning of “exercise”, would be as hungry as she was.

Usually, Ye Xiao didn’t get to taste her cooking, but today, Shen Yunchu wasn’t going to miss this chance.

Being able to share her cooking with the person she liked—what could be more blissful?

So happy!

Ye Xiao didn’t know what was going through Shen Yunchu’s mind. The noodles were indeed good, but they lacked the spiciness she liked.

Still, for breakfast, the light flavor of wonton noodles worked perfectly, even though as a meal, it was a bit lacking in kick. But Ye Xiao was too hungry to care.

As she ate, Ye Xiao noticed Shen Yunchu was leaning on one hand, gazing at her with starry eyes.

That sticky, affectionate look was enough to make even the usually thick-skinned Ye Xiao feel a bit shy.

“Fishy Sister Yunchu ❤️~ Why aren’t you eating~?”

Ye Xiao glanced at Shen Yunchu’s bowl, noticing it was the overcooked noodles.

Shen Yunchu had given her the good bowl and kept the mushy one for herself?

For a moment, Ye Xiao felt a little guilty.

“Sister Yunchu, I can’t finish this big bowl by myself. How about you eat some too?”

As for the mushy noodles, the strays outside probably wouldn’t mind them.

Ye Xiao scooted her chair closer, offering the noodles to Shen Yunchu.

Shen Yunchu, who loved wonton noodles, didn’t refuse and took a bite.

“This noodle is so sweet!”

“Sweet? Yeah, I guess so.”

Ye Xiao nodded in agreement.

There wasn’t much salt, so the sweetness of the chicken broth and the meat in the wontons stood out.

But Ye Xiao seemed to misunderstand Shen Yunchu’s meaning.

To her, sweetness wasn’t just about the flavor—it was the aura of the playful little imp in front of her.

“Fishy sister ❤️~ If you’re not gonna eat, I’ll finish it all ❤️~”

Ye Xiao was about to take another bite when she suddenly noticed Shen Yunchu’s eyes growing hazy again.

Before she could react, Shen Yunchu cupped her face gently.

Her delicate, fair face drew closer in Ye Xiao’s vision.

Ye Xiao’s eyes widened, her mouth still half-full of noodles, some of them dangling from her lips.

Without hesitation, Shen Yunchu bit down on the noodles hanging from Ye Xiao’s mouth, her pearly teeth inching closer to Ye Xiao.

“Muah ❤️~”

Shen Yunchu pressed her lips to Ye Xiao’s, taking her by surprise, but Ye Xiao quickly fought back.

Shen Yunchu playfully resisted, but with her lack of experience, she was no match for the more skilled Ye Xiao, and their roles soon reversed.

Finally, their lips parted.

“This noodle… is so sweet!”
