Chapter 18 - Accounts Between Brothers Should Still Remain Clear


Shi Sui raised his eyebrows. "Did you say something? Say that again."


Xiang Feng was feeling bold and righteous. "Xiang Yi is my little niece, so her lunch delivery is obviously meant for me! Accounts should be settled clearly even between brothers—and that includes food. Don't even dream of taking a grain of rice from me!"


Before, in the Xiang family, he would always fight for little Xiang Yi's cooking with that group of guys with a sister complex. If his movement faltered slightly, he couldn't even lick the plate clean!


Now that he finally had the opportunity to eat alone… Xiang Feng wasn't stupid. Of course he would not share with Shi Sui.


Just as he was talking, the secretary knocked and entered, then placed an insulated bento on his desk. She respectfully said, "Mr. Xiang, this came from the Xiang family's driver."


Xiang Feng joyfully opened it. The bento consisted of three home cooked dishes, a portion of multi-grain purple rice, and a small pack of white and creamy pudding. Poking it with a spoon, the milky pudding bounced with elasticity.


I, Xiang Feng, am the happiest man on earth!


"Mr. Shi, this is for you."


Xiang Feng noticed just then that the secretary was carrying an insulated bento twice the size of his as she placed it in front of Shi Sui.


"Eh?" Did his little niece bring food for Shi Sui??


Shi Sui lazily thanked her. When the secretary was leaving, her ears were bright red.


...This man's every gesture was smooth* beyond belief.


After opening the bento, a smile formed on Shi Sui's face.


The handsome gentleman at this moment was like a child showing off his toy, slowly removing his lunch from the bento.


Aside from the spicy chicken, honey glazed wings, and shrimp custard that Xiang Feng had, there was also an additional sauerkraut fish and mushroom soup.


Even his portion was more than Xiang Feng's. There were a total of four puddings! Four!


Xiang Feng's heart at that moment shattered into a million pieces.


"Ahhh why! Why do you get more food than me…"


Xiang Feng continued to cry out from being wronged, while Shi Sui glanced over each of his dishes in turn.


Sour, sweet, spicy, and fresh delicacies were all available. Also attached to each dish were sticky notes, indicating the ingredients and seasoning used and also asking him to read carefully in case of allergies.


Her handwriting was clear, concise, and well contained, but it revealed an effortless sense of softness.


Shi Sui's thin lips formed an upward arc as he picked up the chopsticks for a taste.


At this moment, Xiang Feng came to witness how a certain famous actor, who usually had impeccable table manners, ended up reaching with his chopsticks faster and faster...


Although he wasn't to the point of wolfing down food, it was evident from his eating speed and demeanor that he was very satisfied.


Xiang Feng hurriedly finished his meal and tiptoed over, ready to steal a pudding...


"Whoosh!"


Shi Sui took away the small cat-shaped box containing the pudding with lightning speed.


Xiang Feng wailed. "You have four! Four! You can't finish it anyway, why can't you share one with me? Are we even bros?!"


Shi Sui's expression did not change. He retorted the words that Xiang Feng had said just now: "Accounts should be settled clearly, even between brothers."


Xiang Feng: "..."


"I'm going to put it in the fridge for next meal." Shi Sui paused for a moment and smiled. "After all, I have four puddings, and you only have one."


Xiang Feng: "... ..."


'A thousand arrows pierced through his heart, as all his thoughts turned to dust.' That about sums it up.


* Translator's note: The Chinese term used here is "Su", which is an online term coined to describe men whose every action was smooth and beautiful, very charismatic, just like the main character in a Mary Sue novel.
