"I know you all must have never eaten it," this durian smells stinky, but it tastes especially good. It’s like our stinky tofu, which also smells bad but tastes delicious, right, Sister?"
Nan Xi even purposefully looked at Bai Zhi, the corners of her mouth carrying a big smile as if telling Bai Zhi that Ouyang only brought back one durian, and he gave it to me.
But Wu Wa touched her head, somewhat puzzled.
"Isn’t this the one that was left behind the door, ignored by everyone? Xingxing, who brought that, it looks exactly the same."
Wu Wa had noticed it a while ago, although she found it strange why it was left at the front door, she didn’t ask. She was just too caught up in her play.
"That one was given by Ouyang, I didn’t like it, so I threw it at the front door."
Bai Zhi’s remark was indifferent, but Nan Xi’s eyes were getting red.
She felt utterly humiliated. She thought she was the only one, yet it turned out she wasn’t.
Brother Ouyang, why do you have to treat me this way?
Do you know how embarrassed I feel? At this moment, how deeply hurt I am.
"So that’s how it is, haha, do you all want to taste it?"
Nan Xi revealed a smile uglier than crying.
"Let’s just have our meal. After eating, Wu Wa and I will be heading back."
Bai Zhi said indifferently, and so it goes, why must some people show off.
Bai Yu directly pulled Nan Xi’s hand to accept.
Instantly, Nan Xi beamed a smile, still the same reliable brother. She immediately went to get a knife to open the durian, and upon smelling that scent, Ye Xiu straightaway vomited.
Bai Yu actually also found it a bit stinky. Bai Zhi and Wu Wa were still okay.
In fact, Bai Zhi liked eating it, but she wouldn’t eat the one from Ouyang, it was that simple.
Not to upset Nan Xi, Bai Yu directly picked up a piece and started eating. The moment it was in his mouth at dinnertime, he felt like vomiting, but seeing Nan Xi’s pitiful look, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
Then he thoughtfully said a line.
Seeing the way he looked, Bai Zhi immediately gave a push.
"It’s all yours, don’t be polite, we’re not eating."
Nan Xi looked at Bai Yu with tears in her eyes.
"I... I quite like eating it..."
Bai Zhi and the others just watched as Bai Yu ate the entire durian by himself.
"I have another one over there, I’ll bring it to you later, don’t be shy."
Bai Zhi said very empathetically, and Ye Xiu came out of the kitchen still somewhat confused about what had happened, thinking they had reconciled?
On the way back, Wu Wa was somewhat at a loss.
"Ah Zhi, if you don’t like them, why do you still eat with them? Isn’t that just torturing yourself?"
If it were her, with someone she disliked, she would wish never to see them again for the rest of her life, but Ah Zhi still chose to meet them. Why?
"I’m not torturing myself. After all, I’m not the one who’s uncomfortable, so why not go?"
Nowadays, she was not the one in discomfort, and besides, she still wanted to know the answer.
"Alright, let’s head home and get ready for the gifts. Oh, and later have Xiao Hei bring the durian to Bai Yu."
They hadn’t gone far when Nan Xi ran after them.
Now being far from Ye Xiu’s house and on a deserted path, Bai Zhi didn’t know where she got the courage to chase after them. Could it be that she had forgotten her past fear?
"Bai Zhi, why would Brother Ouyang give you a durian, why do you always have to oppose me, Brother Ouyang is mine, do you understand?"
Nan Xi clenched her fists tightly, glaring fiercely at Bai Zhi, thinking she was utterly shameless. Having already stolen her mother, and now she even dared to try and steal Brother Ouyang.
