Chapter 456 - 456 Did You Do Something?
Just as Xue Sifu was about to pour some more sweet red beans, he saw that Sanfu had already picked up a spoon and poured a lot of sweet red beans into the small bowl of ice, making it look even more beautiful and appetizing.
As soon as Sanfu was done, he put down the spoon and continued to help chisel the ice. He did not show any emotion the whole time he did it.
If he didn’t know that the bowl had been doused with sweet red beans again and that he didn’t pour it himself, he would not have suspected that Sanfu was the one to do it just now.
He stared blankly at the red beans on the ice in the bowl, then looked at his expressionless brother, who was chiseling the ice seriously. Then, he laughed.
He wanted to tease Sanfu, but when he thought of how expressionless Sanfu was when he usually made fun of him and decided not to. Instead, he placed the bowl of red bean ice on the table in front of Pei Fufu.
“Thank you.” Pei Fufu thanked him politely and appropriately.
“What’s there to thank me for? We’re not outsiders.” Xue Sifu hurriedly said. After what happened to Sanfu, he looked at Pei Fufu in a different light. She might be just the one for him.
He couldn’t help but glance at Sanfu with a smile.
Because Pei Fufu’s back was facing Xue Sanfu, she didn’t dare to turn her head. Naturally, she didn’t notice Xue Sifu’s expression either. However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, who were sitting opposite Pei Fufu on the same bench, noticed everything.
The two children looked at each other when they saw Sifu’s sly smile. Did Sanfu do something? Otherwise, why would Sifu be smiling like this?
Xue Sifu saw Pei Fufu take a bite of the ice and asked with a smile, “Pei Fufu, how’s the ice?”
Pei Fufu quickly swallowed the ice in her mouth and put down the bowl and spoon in her hand before speaking. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled. “It’s very cold, very cool.”
Xue Sifu was getting a little anxious from anticipation. When he heard her say that it was very cold, he quickly smiled and said, “If you like it, you can come more often.”
Pei Fufu smiled and said, “I would love to.” After a pause, she smiled and asked, “Is your family really not going to accept any more ice orders? My father heard that there was ice here and wanted to send someone to buy it, but he heard that it was fully booked. If I wanted to eat ice, he told me that I had to come here to eat it. I didn’t expect Xue Yan’s family to be in charge.”
“Ah, your family also wants to buy ice, huh? Do you want a lot? if you don’t want a lot, my family might be able to spare some to send to your family.” Xue Sifu immediately said. For Sanfu’s sake, even if he couldn’t handle any more orders, he would do it!
“Really?” Pei Fufu was overjoyed, and her almond-shaped eyes lit up. “I don’t want much. We don’t have that many people in our family. Eighteen to twenty-four kilograms would be more than enough!”
“That’s all? Alright, alright.” Xue Sifu agreed without even thinking about the aftermath. He had agreed on Sanfu’s behalf. Later on, he would ask Sanfu to squeeze out some time to send this ice.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt that Sifu was being overly enthusiastic. However, they could tell that Sifu was doing this for Sanfu. So, they assumed that something must have happened at the ice chiseling platform just now…
“Really?” Pei Fufu was overjoyed.
