The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 20

The cool night breeze gently rustled the hem of the girl's skirt, creating a petal-like curve.

Wei Qingyu's attention shifted to Ji Xiao's eyes, which sparkled brighter than the stars. Her hands, concealed behind the skirt, involuntarily twisted the fabric.

"What are you daydreaming about? Come over and eat," Ji Xiao urged as she noticed Wei Qingyu standing by the door. Hurrying to the main seat, she added, "Aren't you hungry?"

Silently, Wei Qingyu averted her gaze, her hands fidgeting with the skirt as she settled into the auxiliary seat to Ji Xiao's left.

Observing the spread of delectable dishes on the table, Ji Xiao inquired, "How is it? Quite a feast, isn't it?"

Her eyes gleamed brightly, and for the first time, the intensity of her gaze seemed less intimidating and more filled with eager anticipation.

Wei Qingyu blinked unnaturally, quickly shifting her gaze to the dining table.

Surprising even herself, she found a positive evaluation for Ji Xiao in her heart. She nodded in response, "Yes."

Upon receiving Wei Qingyu's approval, Ji Xiao's smile widened.

Rolling up her sleeves, Ji Xiao seized the knife and fork, declaring, "Let's begin. No formalities tonight. It's a holiday, so eat however you want. I won't judge!"

Without waiting for Wei Qingyu to join in, Ji Xiao eagerly attacked the dishes on the table.

After a day filled with strenuous activity, her wrists still ached from handling Ji Qingyun earlier. While instructing Aunt Wu to prepare the feast, her stomach couldn't resist growling loudly in anticipation.

If it weren't for the survival instinct and the restraint of manners, Ji Xiao might have already started devouring the dishes on her own, leaving Wei Qingyu with the remnants.

It must be acknowledged that despite Aunt Wu's questionable character, her culinary skills were exceptional.

The lobster meat was succulent and tender, with a milky aroma complementing the charcoal-grilled flavor. This combination perfectly masked the inherent saltiness of fresh seafood, creating a delightful burst of flavors on the palate.

Ji Xiao thoroughly enjoyed half of the lobster, leaving Wei Qingyu's portion untouched. She then shifted her attention to other dishes, ranging from Wellington steak to marinated delicacies, skillfully navigating both Western and Chinese cuisines.

Contrary to the image of a lady, Ji Xiao's alpha spirit swept through the feast with remarkable vigor, devouring the delicacies with unparalleled gusto.

Observing Ji Xiao's two puffed-up cheeks as she savored the meal, Wei Qingyu took a sip of her drink.

The resemblance to a little hamster she once raised, diligently hiding nut breadworms, was striking.

The litchi-flavored sparkling water slowly unfolded its taste on Wei Qingyu's tongue, leaving a subtle tingling sensation in her mouth.

Recollections of the past surfaced in her mind, reminiscing about the carefree days when she used to visit the Ji's house to play with Ji Xiao and the little hamster. Back then, they hadn't comprehended the concept of life and death, believing that little hamsters would scamper through their lives indefinitely.

However, within a few short years, the little hamster met a tragic end, frightened to death by thunder on a stormy night—much like the fate of their friendship.

"Hey, what do you think? Your brows are furrowed," Ji Xiao's voice suddenly reached Wei Qingyu's ears, and a small square box adorned with delicate packaging appeared in her line of sight.
