Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 791 - 793: Here Comes the Snatch for Food

Zhao Xuran was in a bad mood, his face was completely dark.

Checking the time, even if Gong Ruini was slow at cooking, she shouldn’t have taken this long. What was going on?

Zhao Xuran couldn’t comprehend why it was taking this long. Could something have gone wrong in the kitchen?

The more Zhao Xuran thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. He put aside the documents he was holding and went to the kitchen.

Looking at the dark kitchen, "Could it be ready?" Zhao Xuran walked in and found it to be quite clean.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xuran decided to go find Gong Ruwen to see if she was there.

Before he even entered the room, he heard Gong Ruzhi’s loud voice, "Delicious, Sis, this is really delicious."

"I never knew mango could taste so good."

They were already eating, and not just Gong Ruwen, even Gong Ruzhi was eating, which really annoyed Zhao Xuran.

After all, it was he who reminded them of the news, and yet Gong Ruini skipped making delicious food for him. Was that fair?

Zhao Xuran stood at the door, listening to the three siblings talking, and for a moment, he thought about turning around and leaving.

But after taking a couple of steps, he stopped. Was he just going to leave like that?

No way, he had already come this far, and Gong Ruzhi said it was delicious and that it was something with mango.

Was he going to give up just like that? Zhao Xuran thought for a moment and decided to go in, so he knocked on the yard’s door.

Eh, who could it be at this hour? Gong Ruwen was surprised and looked at Gong Ruini.

Gong Ruini was also puzzled, "I don’t know, is someone looking for your brother?"

"Or maybe it was Xiao Zhi’s boisterous voice that scared them." Gong Ruini thought about it and figured it was probably Gong Ruzhi’s fault.

How did it have to do with him? Gong Ruzhi didn’t want to take the blame, "It’s not related to me."

"I’ll get the door." Listening to the knocking outside, Gong Ruwen gestured for Gong Ruzhi to watch out.

Sigh, it’s his fault again. Gong Ruzhi pouted, unable to help it. Being the youngest, he was often bullied by his siblings.

"Eh, Brother Xuran." Gong Ruwen saw Zhao Xuran at the door and was surprised. Why was he here at this hour?

"Is something wrong?" Generally, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t come over at this hour unless it was something important.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see if Ni Zi was here with you." Zhao Xuran wanted to say there was something, but couldn’t think of anything, so he simply said he was looking for Gong Ruini.

Ah, looking for Ni Zi? What happened? Gong Ruwen was puzzled.

Not just Gong Ruwen, even Gong Ruini inside the room was curious when she heard, "Brother Xuran, what do you need me for?"

Gong Ruzhi’s head poked out from the window, his mouth still moving, clearly still eating something delicious.

"I’ve been waiting for your late-night snack so long that my stomach is growling." Zhao Xuran joked as he quickly entered the room, then saw two pieces left on a plate and reached out to take them both.

Ah, it’s gone? Gong Ruzhi saw his delicacy, which he wanted to slowly savor, taken away by Zhao Xuran, and he was dumbfounded.

Were it not for being a bit intimidated by Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruzhi would have definitely yelled out, accusing Zhao Xuran of stealing from a child.

"Ah." Gong Ruini didn’t expect Zhao Xuran to be waiting for her to deliver food. "You don’t usually eat late-night snacks, do you?"

In Yangcheng, she often stays busy until late, and when they went out for late-night snacks, they would pack a bunch to take back.

Even Wan Qiweng, who often talked about maintaining her figure, would eat with enthusiasm, while Zhao Xuran claimed he wouldn’t eat.

Gong Ruini had considered giving some to Zhao Xuran, but thinking he cared about health and wouldn’t eat, she didn’t deliver it.

"I felt like it today." Straightforwardly, Zhao Xuran implied that how could store-bought stuff compare to the deliciousness made by Ni Zi?

"Tastes good. Is it the one we had in Yangcheng?" Zhao Xuran typically wasn’t interested in sweets, but he immediately guessed it.

"I remember you even asked how it was made." At that time, Zhao Xuran found it strange why Ni Zi asked the recipe, thinking she was planning something.

Zhao Xuran mentioned it casually, but Gong Ruini was startled. When Gong Ruwen asked how she made it, she simply said she asked someone, not expecting anyone to be watching her.

Gong Ruini felt lucky she offhandedly asked before; otherwise, Zhao Xuran might wonder how she knew after just a taste.

"And this cream, it’s not store-bought, is it?" Even though the family had milk, they weren’t big on dairy and didn’t want the kids consuming too much sugar, so there wasn’t cream stocked at home. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Going out to buy it now would take too long, so making it herself was the only way.

Zhao Xuran was curious about how Gong Ruini knew how to make it.

Cream, uh, Gong Ruini thought of saying she learned it in Yangcheng, but realized that excuse wouldn’t work.

She dared not assume Zhao Xuran’s memory was poor enough to forget, so the best way was not to use that excuse.

"A classmate mentioned it. His parents were once sent to Xinjiang as educated youths, and they would make their own cream there." Gong Ruini quickly recalled a classmate’s story.

Though the person didn’t specify how to make it, she used it as an explanation since Zhao Xuran could ask Zhao Guangran if he wanted more details.

"This is actually my first try. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but didn’t expect it to be good." Gong Ruini wore a grateful expression.

Although she couldn’t read Zhao Xuran’s mood, Gong Ruini instinctively knew he wasn’t happy she hadn’t saved anything for him.

Not wanting to offend this bigwig, Gong Ruini said it was an experiment and she didn’t know how it would taste.

Ah, no way, Gong Ruzhi was unhappy, "Sis, you didn’t even know if it was good and yet gave it to me and big brother."

Outrageous, sis was really outrageous, just bullying people, way too excessive.

"You could choose not to eat it." It was as if her own brother was being haughty, "Hmph, no experimental dishes for you next time."

Couldn’t she see she was just saying that to avoid making Zhao Xuran angry?

Ah, so he’d miss out, Gong Ruzhi shut up. He wasn’t stupid; if he continued making a fuss, he definitely wouldn’t have good results.

"Sis, you’re the best sister."

For the sake of food, Gong Ruzhi didn’t care about anything. Even saying nice things to his sister, in the face of delicious food, nothing else mattered.
