After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 248 - 249: The Path You’ve Taken (2)

Qin Mobai and Lou Xi walked into Aunt Zhao’s shop, where Aunt Zhao was making little wontons for customers.

Turning around and seeing Lou Xi, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Xixi, you’re back? I heard people talking about you yesterday!"

Aunt Zhao is the typical small-town woman, giving a sense of simplicity. Over the years, Lou Xi’s smooth growth owes much to the help of surrounding neighbors.

The Rong Family who lived next door, Aunt Zhao, and the teachers at school all took special care of Lou Xi.

Perhaps it was because she was obedient and did well in school, making them all willing to help this well-behaved child!

Entering the small eatery, Lou Xi let go of Qin Mobai’s hand and went over to help Aunt Zhao.

"Don’t bother with that, go and sit over there!" Aunt Zhao hurriedly pushed Lou Xi towards the dining table, not allowing her to help.

Aunt Zhao glanced at Qin Mobai several times, finding the man handsome and extraordinary in temperament, looking very satisfied.

She quietly asked Lou Xi in her ear, "Is this your boyfriend?"

Lou Xi’s face turned red. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"The young man does seem quite spirited. But is he good to you? Does he ever get angry with you? Looks aren’t everything; the main thing is whether he treats you well." Aunt Zhao whispered to Lou Xi, like a caring elder.

Lou Xi turned her head to glance at Qin Mobai, who at that same moment had his gaze fall upon her.

As their eyes met, there was nothing but tenderness, appearing as silent affection to those around them.

Liking someone can often be understood just by looking into their eyes.

Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai with eyes so gentle, they seemed ready to drip water.

And Qin Mobai looked at Lou Xi with such focus, as if she was the only person in the universe.

Being someone who’s been through it, Aunt Zhao could tell from the way Qin Mobai looked at Lou Xi that this man was not only handsome but serious about Lou Xi.

She nodded with satisfaction.

"He treats me very well." Lou Xi replied to Aunt Zhao, her face showing a girl’s unique shyness.

"Good to hear! You sit down then, I’ll make the little wontons for you so we can see if Aunt Zhao’s skills outshine those city chefs!"

"Aunt Zhao’s little wontons are the best!"

"Such a sweet talker." Aunt Zhao hurried Lou Xi over to the dining table, not letting her help.

Luckily, the small shop wasn’t too busy; just a few regulars, all acquainted with each other.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lou Xi walked over to Qin Mobai and sat beside him.

"What were you talking about just now?" Qin Mobai took a napkin and wiped the table in front of Lou Xi again and again; he was a bit of a cleanliness freak, so being able to sit in this small eatery for breakfast was quite an achievement.

"Aunt Zhao said I’ve gotten thinner and asked if you weren’t treating me well!"

"Thinner?" Qin Mobai’s eye swept over Lou Xi, "I feel like you’ve gained weight."

Lou Xi knew she seemed to have gained a little weight these days, but still asked, "Where did I get fat?"

Qin Mobai appeared to be thinking seriously before leaning close to Lou Xi’s ear and saying, "Where do you think?"

While Lou Xi was still pondering, Qin Mobai had already given her the answer.

Lou Xi’s face turned red; if it wasn’t for being outside, she’d definitely have playfully squabbled with Qin Mobai!
