"Why had you turned back into a crybaby after not seeing me for such a short time?"
Xiao Fan crouched down and gently wiped the tears from Qing Lin's eyes.
"Mm... no, no... Qing Lin was just so happy to see Brother."
Seeing that little Qing Lin was clearly still sobbing, Xiao Fan felt an indescribable emotion well up inside him. He pulled her into his arms of his own accord. "Brother won't leave you again..."
"Brother, Qing Lin learned how to cook. Come and taste it."
Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment. When was the last time he had eaten... It seemed to have been with Xian'er...
Xiao Fan's cultivation had long since made food unnecessary, and the natural energy absorbed by the Spirit Devouring Art was more than enough to sustain his daily consumption.
But this was little Qing Lin's first time cooking, so Xiao Fan had to at least sample it. Though a young maiden's first time ought to be sweet...
"Then Brother will see how good little Qing Lin's cooking is."
Xiao Fan took little Qing Lin's hand and headed into the room. Zi Yan lay sprawled over his shoulder, crunching through Sugar Pills one after another.
When he saw the table filled with dishes Qing Lin had made, Xiao Fan was slightly amazed. "Qing Lin, did you make all of these?"
Little Qing Lin lowered her head shyly and answered, "Mm."
"That's incredible..." Xiao Fan's endless praise made little Qing Lin even more embarrassed.
"Brother has a good friend who is also very good at cooking..."
At those words, little Qing Lin abruptly raised her head. She immediately became far more alert and worried that her cooking would not suit Xiao Fan's taste. Her fists clenched tightly as she waited anxiously for his response.
