Chapter 106: Emotionless Eating Machine
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as Bai Ruoruo left, the atmosphere at the dining table immediately became harmonious.
Xiang Yu continued to rub Xiao Naofu’s belly with his pale and slender fingers, his eyes secretly darting toward Xiang Yi.
Feeling his gaze, Xiang Yi blinked. “What’s wrong, big brother?”
‘Oh~~~!!’
‘Did you hear, did you hear… how sweet his little sister sounded when she called him her big brother!’

He feigned a nonchalant demeanor as he demanded like an arrogant prince. “Go and bring your big brother another bowl of rice.”
If he’d dared to command Xiang Yi in such a way when they were back at the Xiang family, the several sis-cons at home would have broken both his legs.

But today’s Yuyu of the Xiang family was Yuyu of the Niohuru family!*
Two words: Inflated ego!
Xiang Yi smiled as she indulged his childish willfulness, obediently bringing him another bowl of egg fried rice.
Xiang Yu couldn’t even suppress the corners of his mouth from arching up. After taking a mouthful of the egg fried rice, his eyes lit up and his face was soon buried in the food.
He especially loved to eat rice. The easy-to-make egg fried rice that Xiang Yi had cooked was soft and chewy. Aside from eggs and shrimp, she had also added ham and peas. It was not only colorful but rich in taste as well.
The live comments:
— [Smog is so immature hahaha but I think he’s really cute]
— [Simao brother: An emotionless eating machine]
— [Did anyone else notice this? The Little Vase has never scooped rice for Shi Yingdi before!!]
— […Now that you’ve mentioned it, that does seem to be the case. Shi Yingdi always gets his own food. What kind of attitude is this, Vase Fairy?]
— [Have you guys forgotten the trending forum about the Little Vase neglecting Shi Yingdi? Even though the SSJJ (the condensed spelling of the Shi Sui Sisters) refused to acknowledge it, it’s obvious that your Shi Yingdi tried to get close to the Little Vase first. The Little Vase might be indifferent toward him, but she’s been really polite and courteous nonetheless, ok?]
…
The netizens each brought out their magnifying glasses as they placed the events of the last few days under a microscope. Soon, a post on the well-known gossip forum Melon began to trend.
The title: [Every day, I am searching for crumbs of sugar in the shattered glass remains that come from the Untimely CP]
The main header: Good morning, Melon friends, I am the OP of the last article, [The famous scene where Shi Yingdi had been left out to dry].
After watching the livestream for “Two Under One Roof” for a few days and replaying countless times the scenes where Shi Yingdi and Yi mei are in the same frames, I will be honest with you: these two are too cautious. Moreover, they are so polite to each other, as if they were in an etiquette class. The words like ‘sorry to trouble you/thank you for your hard work/excuse me/thank you’ are always at the tip of their lips, and Yi mei still continues to call him Senior Shi. The more courteous they are, the more it shows that the relationship between them has not progressed… They could even just be acting formally for the sake of the show. Thinking about it makes my heart ache.
But—!
The candy from shattered glass tastes really sweet, too!
The little flower Yi mei gave Shi Yingdi…
When Shi Yingdi put on glasses for Yi mei…
The scene of two people cooking together as if they’ve spent years together living a peaceful life…
And his gentle expression as he watched Yi Mei while she was on the swing… I can re-watch that a hundred times! I suggest everyone replay that scene!
And just now, he had ripped apart the White Lotus on Yi mei’s behalf (OK, it’s a stretch to say he ripped her apart, but he did help Yi mei in the end. I don’t care, I don’t care! He was protecting her!)
This stan of the CP does not ask for anything more. I just want Yi mei to treat Shi Yingdi a wee bit better! Humble.jpg
As soon as the post was uploaded, the Shi Sui Sisters became very discontent.
— [Is OP delusional from watching too many dramas? I am disgusted by your brainless love theories]
— [Hehe. OP basically just said that our Shi Sui Zaizai is on his knees/trying to butter up the Vase Fairy. How much money did they pay you to write this?]
— [Sigh, they’re hopeless, take OP away, then the next one. Let me say this again, Shi Sui and the Vase Fairy will never be a couple!]
