As Li Qiyu spoke, she handed chopsticks to Li Xichi.
"Sorry. There aren't many ingredients at night. It's just simple plain noodles. I hope you don't mind."
The feeling of feeding someone was really novel. Li Qiyu stared at Li Xiyu throughout.
And Li Xiyu frowned at the bowl of "plain noodles in clear soup" in front of her.
She even called it plain noodles. It was clearly just noodles and water. Could this stuff be eaten?
Sure enough, Li Qiyu had ill intentions in keeping her here!
However, Li Xichi decided to endure it.
She picked up the chopsticks. Under Li Qiyu's encouraging and excited gaze, she picked up a chopstick of noodles, took a deep breath, and after enough mental preparation, put it into her mouth.
Unexpectedly, it was quite delicious?
There wasn't much salt added, and there were no strange flavors. It looked light, but the taste was quite rich. As a female star, Li Xichi had the self - awareness of a female star. Usually, she would put down her chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls of staple food at night.
Unless she couldn't help it.
This bowl of plain noodles in clear soup made her unable to resist. She accidentally ate too much, until there wasn't much soup left.
After eating, Li Xichi felt quite guilty.
Li Xiyu must have done it on purpose. Knowing that she was a female star, she deliberately made such delicious plain noodles for her, just to make her gain weight and become a fat person disliked by fans.
Of course, after just muttering this thought a few times, Li Xichi herself thought she was being too unreasonable.
But Li Qiyu's concern for her didn't stop there. Li Qiyu had long noticed that Li Xichi's trouser legs were wet. Seeing that Li Xichi didn't bring any luggage, she rummaged through her own wardrobe and took out a set of clothes for Li Xichi.
Afraid that Li Xichi would mind, she explained, "I saw that your figure is about the same as mine, so I thought you could wear my clothes. Don't worry. This set is brand - new. It was sent by Song Jiaye some time ago. I haven't even worn it yet."
Li Xichi got even angrier.
What was she doing? Was she showing off in front of her? Maybe Song Jiaye had only bought clothes for her once in all these years of marriage, and now she took them out to show off in front of her.
No, maybe these clothes weren't even bought by Song Jiaye. Li Xiyu said this just to anger her.
After getting along for an hour or two, Li Xichi felt that Li Qiyu's tactics had indeed improved a lot, just as her mother had said. In the past, as soon as she entered the door, Li Qiyu would have exploded. She wouldn't act like a good elder sister now, cooking noodles herself and bringing out clothes.
It seemed that she had to be extremely vigilant to deal with Li Qiyu.
Li Xichi still put on her usual pitiful look: "Thank you, elder sister. I didn't expect you'd take me in."
The address of "elder sister" made Li Qiyu seem several years older.
Sure enough, Li Qiyu frowned, with a look of disgust on her small face.
Li Xichi was happy that she had successfully disgusted the other person.
But her happiness didn't last a few seconds. Li Xiyu's next words made her break down.
"Could you please not make that expression with this face?"
"What?"
"I just feel a bit uncomfortable looking at it."
Li Qiyu said embarrassedly. Although Li Xichi had the same face as hers, strictly speaking, it was their first meeting. It was a bit impolite to give advice to someone on the first meeting.
But then she thought that since Li Xichi was Li Xiyu's younger sister, and it was said that an elder sister was like a mother, there were still things that needed to be said.
After all, as daughters of the Li family, they should have integrity. Thinking of this, Li Qiyu felt it necessary to teach this younger sister with the same face as her in ancient times.
"As daughters of the Li family, we should act like the Li family. We should speak with confidence, hold our heads high and our chests out, be neither overbearing nor humble. Whispering and shrinking back won't do. Only those from a humble family would act like this. It would disgrace the Li family."
Li Qiyu was teaching out of good intentions, but Li Xichi was extremely angry.
Goodness, a humble family? Li Xiyu was really something now. She knew how to make insinuations!
She even said that Li Xichi whispered and shrank back, and that her posture was not good - looking. What a joke! She had just been named the most promising young actress!
Who did Li Xiyu look down on!
Li Xichi was arranged to stay in the guest room. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.
Early the next morning, Li Xichi got up.
She set an alarm clock and was determined to prove something.
To prove that she was more virtuous than Li Xiyu and more suitable to take care of Song Jiaye and be his wife.
But when she got up, it seemed that everyone else had already gotten up.
The kitchen was bustling. Li Qiyu was learning to fry eggs from Sister Liu. Seeing Li Xichi get up, she smiled gently and said, "You're up. Wait a moment. The noodles will be ready soon."
At this time, Ming Yuexuan was also looking at the news on her iPad. Seeing Li Xichi, she couldn't help but complain, "Sure enough, actors just lie around and make money. They get up so late."
Li Xichi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she did get up late and couldn't think of anything to retort.
Li Xichi looked down at her watch. She got up at seven o'clock and spent half an hour dressing up. It wasn't late.
In the past, she would still be sleeping in bed at this time.
But she didn't know that Li Qiyu lived by the ancient time schedule.
She went to bed when the sun set and got up when the sun rose. Every day, as soon as it got a bit dark, Li Qiyu would feel sleepy, and as soon as it got light, she would get up.
It was summer now. The sky would start to get light at five or six o'clock, and Li Qiyu would usually open her eyes a little after five.
As for Ming Yuexuan, she couldn't get up originally. But because she ate and slept with Li Qiyu, her schedule was forced to change.
Song Jiaye also got up. At this time, Li Qiyu came out with the noodles. Like a hostess, she greeted everyone to come and eat the noodles.
Looking at the noodles, Li Xichi thought of the bowl of noodles last night and subconsciously swallowed her saliva, but on the surface, she still had to be stubborn.
"I... I can't eat staple food. I'm trying to lose weight. Do you have cucumbers and whole - wheat bread? I'll just eat those."
Li Qiyu looked at her in surprise.
"You're still trying to lose weight?" Li Xichi was so thin that it seemed a gust of wind could blow her away.
Li Qiyu didn't know that stars, especially those on the small screen, were generally much thinner than ordinary people. Because once they got fat, they wouldn't look good on camera.
Song Jiaye knew the inside story, so he said, "Give her cucumbers."
Since Song Jiaye had spoken, Li Qiyu naturally wouldn't say much.
At this time, Li Xichi said, "Jiaye, I remember you're not used to Chinese breakfast, right? How about I go heat up a cup of coffee and make some hamburgers?"
