My Stepbrother Is a Little Pitiful (ChatGPT Translated)

☆ Chapter 58. Resolving the Crisis, Resolving the Crisis

Chapter 57. Rescued, Rescued

This was Cheng Songer's first time calling Cheng Qingzhi by his name.

Before, she had to pretend to be the original owner and had to call him "brother." But in fact, he is nineteen years old this year, one year younger than her.

Moreover, he is obedient and gentle, never daring to speak harshly to her. In every aspect of life, he always does things properly without any faults.

After tearing through this layer of window paper, calling him "brother" again seemed a bit affected.

Although it was just a form of address, she wanted to use it in the appropriate context.

Cheng Qingzhi lowered his gaze, blushing, and softly responded.

"I'll go cook for you. . ." He took the little sparrow from her hand and shyly retreated into the kitchen.

As he turned around, he happened to see Lin Yuxiu, whose clothes were disheveled, staring at him with resentment, his eyes like venomous snakes.

The blush on Cheng Qingzhi's face instantly faded, and his phoenix eyes swept over him coldly, completely different from the charming and shy appearance just now.

He entered the kitchen and started heating the pot and boiling water.

The sparrow's body had many fine hairs that needed to be plucked out one by one after scalding them with boiling water.

Uncle Xu in the courtyard also saw what she was holding in her hand, wiped away his tears, and asked Cheng Songer from across the yard, "Little sister Songer, where did you catch this sparrow? I want my daughter to try it too."

While Uncle Xu was certainly happy that Lin Yuxiu had returned alive, he also started to worry.

All the food had been looted, and only a few pieces of hot cake in his bedroom were left untouched. But with the original five family members already struggling to make ends meet, adding Lin Yuxiu to the mix was like adding insult to injury.

After being looted, he had hardly eaten anything in the past two days and was so hungry that he could barely stand.

Now he urgently wanted to find something to eat.

Cheng Songer said, "I found it on a branch outside the village road. But I only caught one, and the other bird got scared and flew away. I don't know if it's still there."

Xu Shu quickly thanked him and urged his two daughters to go over and try their luck.

At this moment, Lin Yuxiu stood up from the stool and wiped the dust off his face.

Cheng Songer noticed something and turned to leave.

But Lin Yuxiu had already arrived at the fence, tearfully looking at her, "Sister Songer, long time no see."

Cheng Songer politely nodded.

Just as Lin Yuxiu was about to say something else, a sudden exclamation came from the kitchen.

Without hesitation, Cheng Songer went straight into the kitchen, "What happened?"

Cheng Qingzhi was squatting on the ground, holding his hand.

"Let me see." She nervously examined it.

There were obvious red marks on his fair and flawless wrist, "What happened?"

Cheng Qingzhi whispered, "I accidentally touched the hot edge of the pot, got burned a little, but it's nothing serious."

His messy bangs covered his deep eyes at this moment, and it was intentional.
