  At noon, Xiao Jing opened the door of Tang Xi’s room to ask her to go to lunch. Today, there were only three of them at home. They planned to make seafood pasta, so he came to ask her if she liked it. If she didn’t, he would make something else for her. When he opened the door, however, he saw a little girl lying on the ground asleep, and textbooks scattered on the low desk……

  He went over laughing, stooped to pick her up and tried to put her to bed. However, she opened her eyes as soon as he picked her up. Xiao Jing paused and stood still on the spot, just like a kid who had done something wrong. Holding Tang Xi, he stood motionless and blinked. Tang Xi sleepily rubbed her eyes and yawned, asking, “Jing, what’s up?”


  Xiao Jing put her on the bed and teased her, “Aren’t you doing your homework? Why are you sleeping?”


  Tang Xi took a look at her homework on the low desk and grunted, “I’ve finished it. It’s cool on the floor, so I fell asleep.”


  Xiao Jing rubbed her hair and turned to go downstairs. “Come on down. Mom and Dad are out. We’ll have seafood pasta for lunch.”


  Tang Xi jumped out of bed with shining eyes and rushed down the stairs. “Put some lobsters in it, or just give me seafood without pasta.”


  She couldn’t resist the lure of seafood. A person had once said she might be the kind of person who could be spirited away by someone with a lobster.

  Xiao Jing tapped Tang Xi on the head and said with a chuckle, “Make it yourself.”


  Tang Xi lay on the sofa face down and didn’t move. “I don’t know how to make it! I don’t know!” She was serious. She was really poor at cooking. Next time, she would use 008’s all-purpose skills to cook a good meal with the cooking skill of a three-star Michelin chef!

  “Just keep on pretending. I don’t believe you don’t know how to cook since you grew up in such a poor family…… Well…… then let Sa make it……” Xiao Jing suddenly froze. Realizing that he had said something wrong, he looked at Tang Xi out of the corner of his eye, for fear of having hurt her self-esteem.

  However, the person standing in front of him was no longer Xiao Rou, but Tang Xi; she would of course not be hurt by his words. She looked at Xiao Jing and asked with a smile, “Jing, are you looking down on poor people?”


  “Who said that?” Xiao Jing stood up. “I meant that you are an able girl.”


  Tang Xi smiled. “But I really don’t know how to make seafood pasta. You know poor kids only know how to make plain noodles, let alone seafood. Even beef was something I rarely saw. You’re just embarrassing me by asking me to make seafood pasta!”


  Xiao Jing immediately jumped up and admitted his mistake, “I was wrong, I was really wrong. I’ll make you seafood pasta myself.” Then without looking at Tang Xi, he jumped into the kitchen.

  Looking at Xiao Jing’s receding figure, Tang Xi laughed. Xiao Hongli’s family didn’t hire a housemaid because Yang Jingxian liked cooking. Except for hiring hourly maids to clean the house, Yang Jingxian usually did the housework herself, so it was quite easy for her to eat the seafood pasta made by Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa.

  Xiao Jing rushed into the kitchen, wondering why he had a guilty feeling after coming out of his sister’s room.

  Seeing Xiao Jing coming in, Xiao Sa asked with a smile, “How did you annoy our little princess?”


  Xiao Jing said glumly, “I said something wrong.”


  “Did you mention her biological parents?” Xiao Sa asked as he dealt with the seafood on his hand. He nagged, “The seafood isn’t fresh. Let’s go to the riverside for dinner tonight. Take Rourou to the cinema and have dinner outside. Doesn’t she like seafood? The seafood along the river is all freshly fished, so it is quite fresh.”


  Xiao Jing thought it was a good way to make amends for his mistake, so he immediately rushed out and happily said to Tang Xi who had turned on the TV and was watching a cartoon, “Rourou, Let’ go out for dinner tonight. I’ll treat you to a seafood feast. All the seafood will be freshly fished from the river and very delicious. After dinner, we’ll go to the cinema. I think you haven’t…… Well, let’s watch the latest movie!”


  Tang Xi knew that he wanted to say ‘I think you haven’t been in a cinema’, but for fear of hurting her pride, he abruptly changed the topic. Although she wasn’t that interested in watching a movie, she was still very grateful for their concern, so she nodded and said, “Then I want to eat a lot of seafood. Aren’t you afraid I’ll cost you too much money?”


  “I have plenty of money. You can eat as much as you want!” Xiao Jing patted his chest and turned to the kitchen to continue cooking. Glad to see Tang Xi happy, he worked energetically.

  Xiao Sa quietly dropped the spatula in his hand and said, somewhat glumly, “I wonder whether we’ll be able to find a girlfriend if we keep being like this?” He was so accustomed to doting on Xiao Rou that he would feel strange if he stopped. What if his future girlfriend became jealous of his sister?

  Xiao Jing didn’t seem to care at all, humming a tune and boiling water. “What manner of creature is a girlfriend? Will she be as adorable as Rourou?”


  Xiao Sa turned to look at his younger sister who was sitting on the sofa, watching a cartoon, laughing and chewing gum. The more he looked at her, the more he felt she was so adorable. He felt that there couldn’t any person better looking than Rourou in the world, so he shook his head and replied, “I don’t know, but she can’t be better looking than Rourou.”


  “Bingo!” Xiao Jing put lobsters into the pan to cook and leaned against the kitchen table to look at Tang Xi in the living room. “So we just need to keep doting on her.”


  Warmth welled up within Tang Xi when she heard their conversation. She was determined to help her two brothers to find girlfriends who were really, really beautiful, though they might not be as beautiful as her.

  She was not being a narcissist. With the ability of 008, maybe she would really become a peerless beauty or something in the future, so she would think so.

  After the cartoon ended, Tang Xi took the remote control to change the channel. Suddenly, a piece of business news appeared on the screen. The title was, “The Missing Heiress of Empire Group Sent An Email: I’m Travelling. Don’t Worry.”


  Then the contents of Tang Xi’s email appeared on the screen. Tang Xi found that it was the email she had sent to the management of Empire Group last night. Missing, traveling…… these words sounded much better than ‘Tang Xi Died’.

  Although some people wanted her to be dead, she couldn’t land Empire Group and her grandpa in crisis.

  After watching the news, Tang Xi turned off the TV and searched for the latest news on her cell phone. Sure enough, an insider revealed that Empire Group had hired technicians to check where the email came from.

  Tang Xi threw her cell phone aside, got up and went to the kitchen. “Sa, Jing, is lunch ready?”


  “Hungry?” Xiao Sa looked at Tang Xi concernedly, took a can of juice from the fridge and handed it to Tang Xi. “Take some juice. We’re making lobsters for you. The seafood pasta will be served soon.”


  Tang Xi said thank you, took the juice and took a mouthful of it. Then she looked up and asked, “By the way, Jing, do you know Qiao Liang’s phone number?”
