Chapter 29
There are two reasons why Su Bai is so serious.
The first is because Keqing is not right in this matter and she was wronged first.
The second is because Keqing already suspected him. If he was wronged and did not react, it would make him look like a thief with a guilty conscience. It would be better for him to be more confident.
Although Keqing is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue and is of noble status, she is rarely questioned like this.
But in this matter, she is wrong in terms of emotion and reason.
What's more, Su Bai brought up the Seven Stars of Liyue.
So after a moment of silence, Keqing said,"You make sense. I shouldn't be so suspicious of you before there is evidence." Keqing said seriously.
This sounded like an apology, but it did not completely dispel the doubts about Su Bai's identity.
This made the atmosphere a little awkward for a while.
Perhaps because she didn't want the atmosphere to be too awkward, Xiangling on the side saw this and quickly changed the subject and asked,"Keqing, do you want to try the fried rice I just researched?!"
Xiangling said as she took out a bowl of fried rice and handed it to her.
Perhaps because the fried rice was so fragrant, Keqing seemed very interested
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that it's already afternoon and I haven't had lunch yet." Keqing muttered, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.
"How is it?" Xiangling asked impatiently.
Keqing nodded and praised generously:"It tastes very good, better than the fried rice I've had before."
As a chef, it is a great encouragement for someone to praise the food you cook.
No wonder Xiangling is so happy.
But while she is happy, Xiangling has not forgotten who helped her.
"This is all thanks to Su Bai! If he hadn't made the suggestion just now, I wouldn't have been able to make this fried rice perfect!" Xiangling said.
Maybe it was because she was really grateful to Su Bai, or maybe it was because she thought Su Bai was a good person and hoped Keqing would not misunderstand Su Bai.
So she said good things about Su Bai in front of Keqing.
It is said that if you eat something, your mouth will be soft, and if you take something from someone, you will be short-handed.
Although Keqing and Su Bai had an unpleasant quarrel just now, one thing is another.
The fried rice they are eating now has something to do with Su Bai, so Keqing naturally did not hesitate to praise him.
So she smiled and said,"Xiangling is the young chef of Liyue's"Wanmin Hall". She is very talented. To get her affirmation, you must be very knowledgeable about cooking."
Although Su Bai is not a petty person.
But Keqing is too arrogant.
She didn't even apologize for the injustice she had against Su Bai just now, and now she dared to take the initiative to talk to Su Bai.
No wonder Su Bai suddenly had an idea and suddenly thought of a good way to punish Keqing a little.
"It's not really research." Su Bai said calmly,"When traveling, besides accommodation, the most important thing is food. You will naturally understand more if you eat more."
Keqing thought that since she didn't apologize properly just now, Su Bai might treat her badly.
She was even prepared that Su Bai would ignore her.
But unexpectedly, Su Bai didn't seem to mind too much, and even took the initiative to say,"Didn't you just say that you haven't had lunch yet? The fried rice may not be enough, otherwise I'll fry a few more side dishes."
This surprised Keqing.
At the same time, she couldn't help but have some good feelings for Su Bai.
However, good feelings are good feelings.
She was also embarrassed to let Su Bai cook for her, so she said,"No need, I……"
She wanted to decline.
But she was interrupted by Su Bai in the middle of her words:"You're welcome, I'm not full either."
Keqing couldn't refuse the offer, not to mention that she was really hungry now.
So she said in a low voice with embarrassment:"That's troublesome."
"No trouble." Su Bai smiled slightly, then said to Xiangling:"Can I borrow your kitchen utensils?!"
"Um……"Xiangling nodded blankly.
After all, Xiangling was also very surprised at this moment.
She knew Keqing very well.
Keqing, who was arrogant, could be easily misunderstood for what she said.
Because of this, Xiangling had been worried just now.
She was worried that Keqing's arrogant character would cause Su Bai's dissatisfaction.
But what Xiangling didn't expect was that
Su Bai not only didn't care, but also said that he would cook himself.
This surprised Xiangling.
So while Su Bai was cooking, she walked up and whispered,"Do you mind what Keqing said just now?"
Su Bai smiled slightly, and said very generously,"What's there to care about. After all, what she said was right. She is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and investigating suspicious people is also her job."
"You are such a nice person." Xiangling smiled and said,"Actually, Keqing is a very nice person. She really was apologizing to you just now, but her words are easily misunderstood."
"I know."Su Bai nodded.
Seeing that Su Bai really didn't care at all, Xiangling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, one was her friend, and the other was someone who had just helped her.
Xiangling didn't want to see the two of them competing against each other.
She was naturally happy that the conflict between the two was resolved, and naturally shifted her attention to Su Bai's cooking skills.
She had seen before that Su Bai could cook.
After all, Su Bai could smell what was in the fried rice just by smelling it. People who couldn't cook wouldn't have this ability. But what she didn't expect was that Su Bai not only knew how to cook, but his cooking skills were also very good.
The dishes he made were mouth-watering just by smelling them.
No wonder Xiangling, as a chef, couldn't help but exclaimed:"It smells so good~ I'm hungry just by smelling it!"
To get such a high evaluation from Xiangling, a chef, would naturally satisfy Keqing.
"Indeed, this scent makes people feel happy.……"Keqing said.
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes were fixed on Su Bai.
If you didn't know, you would think she had some plan for Su Bai.
But Su Bai knew that what Keqing was staring at at this time was not him at all, but the golden shrimp ball in his hand.
Su Bai knew it very well.
Golden shrimp ball is Keqing's favorite dish.
How much does she like it?
In the plot, Xiangling's partner Guoba accidentally ate all the golden shrimp balls.
Keqing almost cried.
Keqing herself often said.
She has no greed for other foods, but she can't help wanting to eat that golden shrimp ball.
It can be seen that golden shrimp ball is Keqing's true love. Because of this, Su Bai made this golden shrimp ball specially for Keqing.
Of course, it was not made for her to eat.
But it was made and eaten for her to see.
After serving all the dishes, Su Bai generously said,"Okay, the dishes are ready. I haven't cooked for a long time. Come and taste my cooking skills." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Bai ate three golden shrimp balls at the speed of light under Keqing's expectant gaze.
He even gave the last golden shrimp ball to Guoba to eat.
Looking at the empty bowl in an instant,
Keqing's outstretched chopstick hand froze in mid-air, and the expression on her face changed from smiling to crying.
"My golden shrimp balls, woo woo woo┭┮﹏┭┮!"
