After Muir poured the noodles into the big bowl, a clump still remained stuck to the bottom of the pot. He washed the pot clean and filled it with cold water, then, after pondering about it briefly, he swiftly placed the noodle biscuit into the pot.

  This pot of noodles was cooked very smoothly. Five minutes later, a bowl of aromatic and piping hot instant noodles had been freshly prepared.

  Mu Tian had even added an egg. Because he hadn’t beaten the egg completely, the entire bowl was filled with egg bits. Nevertheless, it smelled very fragrant.

  “Come and eat, Huahua.” Mu Tian brought the bowl of noodles to the dining table and turned on a soft light.

  Long feeling gluttonish, Bai Zhenbei stared eagerly at the noodles like a pug. Just as her older brother finished speaking, she was already properly seated before the bowl of noodles.

  “Quick, have a taste. This is Brother’s first time cooking. I don’t know if it tastes good,” a perturbed yet expectant Mu Tian said.

  Bai Zhenbei picked up some noodles with her chopsticks and immediately nodded. “Ooh ooh ooh, delicious!”


  Though instant noodles cooked with cold water didn’t have quite enough bite, it wasn’t as awkward as the soggy soup noodles from earlier. With the egg bits blended into the soup, it actually enhanced the taste.

  Compared to that pot of noodles earlier, Bai Zhenbei felt that this bowl of noodles was a top delicacy, and she started slurping down one mouthful after the other.

  “Brother, what do we do about this bowl of noodles? If Mommy finds out, she will scold me.”


  “It’s alright, Brother will eat it.” Seeing that his younger sister liked the noodles he cooked, Mu Tian’s heart bloomed with joy. He immediately grabbed that bowl of soggy noodles and shoveled big mouthfuls of it into his mouth without so much as a change in expression.

  Looking at the way her older brother was eating, Bai Zhenbei’s heart suddenly ached. It clearly tasted so horrible, yet he could eat it as though it was some sort of a delicacy. Just like how they had concealed their identities in the past and still treated her well even after being repelled by her.

  “If it tastes awful, just pour it away. Mommy won’t find out.” As Bai Zhenbei spoke, she glanced at her parents’ room and lowered her voice. “I’ll help you keep a lookout while you pour it away.”


  Mu Tian smiled. “It’s fine, I’ll finish it in a few mouthfuls.”


  He wasn’t lying. At this moment, only half the bowl of noodles remained. After saying that, he stuffed another big mouthful into his mouth, and the depth in the bowl reduced once more.

  Bai Zhenbei suddenly fell silent and lowered her head, eating the noodles seriously.

  Somewhat unable to get a good gauge on his younger sister’s temper, Mu Tian also stopped speaking.

  After finishing the noodles, Mu Tian took away his younger sister’s bowl and washed it together.

  Seeing that no one was around, Bai Zhenbei asked in a small voice, “Aren’t you angry that I disliked you guys so much today? Why do you still treat me so well?”


  Upon hearing this, however, Mu Tian heaved a sigh of relief and said as he pinched her tender face, “Because you’re my younger sister. Our family’s most precious treasure.”


  Perhaps due to the consciousness passed down in their bloodline, he kept feeling that the only girl in the family was very precious and had to be taken good care of. That minor matter today wasn’t enough to make them angry. It was just that they were troubled over why their younger sister suddenly stopped liking them.

  They had even searched online and found that girls tended to be in a bad mood for no reason during those few days every month. This made them feel slightly more at ease.

  Now, seeing that Huahua was as adorable as before, it went to show that the Internet was right about this.

  “I’ve learned that you’re my biological brothers,” Bai Zhenbei said, gazing at her toes.

  “Mm, Mommy told me,” said Mu Tian.

  Bai Zhenbei felt conflicted for a good while, before finally saying, “Just like me, you guys are Mommy’s darlings. In the future, I’ll learn to get used to you guys. Also, I’m sorry about today.”


  Mu Tian paused for a moment. Only when he saw his younger sister raising her head and sneaking an unease glance at him did he pinch her face in amusement. “Silly lass, brush your teeth and go to bed. It’s already ten.”


  “Mm.” After Bai Zhenbei spoke what was in her heart, she felt relaxed. She jogged back to her room on the third story.
