Chapter 47: Favorability Points! Guessed Right!

It increased?

Then she must have guessed correctly.

What Third Brother often called ‘favorability points’ was actually just whether she liked him or not.

Woo-hoo!

Juanjuan was overjoyed now. She felt she was really clever for guessing right!

“Third Brother, do you like Juanjuan?”

Bai Yun’an’s eyes lit up—this was promising!

So he blurted out without thinking: “I do!”

But he just had to add a sarcastic comment: 【Well, it’s alright. If the favorability points rose faster, I’d like her even more.】

Juanjuan: …

The little one smiled at her third brother, then stood up: “Third Brother, I’m going to see if Eldest Brother is back yet.”

After saying that, she scampered off.

Juanjuan thought about what Third Brother had said. She also wanted to like Third Brother so he could produce more things out of thin air.

But if she couldn’t hear Third Brother’s private thoughts, perhaps she would already adore him and stick to him like glue.

Now that she could hear them, and knew Third Brother wasn’t simple, she felt she couldn’t just simply like him anymore.

She thought Third Brother was impressive, even admired him a bit, but also found him somewhat elusive. Pure, simple affection was the least of what she felt.

Juanjuan sighed and sat down by the door to ponder.

By the time Eldest Brother wandered back home, Juanjuan’s little brain still hadn’t come up with anything.

“What are we having for dinner tonight?”

As soon as Bai Yunqi returned, he asked the family’s “little chef.”

Juanjuan shook her slightly muddled head. “Meat buns and wild vegetable soup.”

Bai Yunqi fell silent: “Can we change the soup? No more wild vegetable soup.”

Juanjuan blinked: “Then what should we have?”

Bai Yunqi: “Rice porridge? Egg drop soup?”

“Egg drop soup… what kind of soup is that?”

Juanjuan had never had it or made it before.

Bai Yunqi recalled the egg drop soup he’d seen during his time in the mortal world and tried to describe it: “Beat eggs, pour them into boiling water, add some salt?”

“Eggs… I’ll have to ask Mother about that.”

Eggs were relatively precious items in their household.

Suddenly wanting to use them for soup, Juanjuan naturally needed to ask her mother’s permission.

“Egg drop soup? Too bad we don’t have seaweed! No MSG either, or it would be absolutely delicious!”

Bai Tian muttered softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Dai nodded silently in agreement.

As expected of brothers who’d both transmigrated—seaweed egg drop soup was really good! Even though it required quite a few seasonings.

It was really fresh and tasty!!

Jiang Dai guided Juanjuan in making the egg drop soup. Whether Juanjuan had a natural talent for it or not, the egg drop soup actually turned out quite decent.

Just as Jiang Dai was about to taste it, she heard some commotion outside their home.

It seemed someone had arrived?

Jiang Dai immediately stepped out of the small kitchen and saw a carriage stopped right outside their door.

A crowd of villagers had gathered around the entrance, watching the spectacle and curiously eyeing the rarely-seen carriage.

“That’s a carriage! Did the Bai family strike it rich?”

“How could that be? There’s no way the Bai family got wealthy. I think it’s debt collectors.”

“True, Bai Tian was addicted to gambling before. Such an impressive carriage, and those strong men surrounding it—I think they’re definitely here to collect debts.”

The neighbors whispered among themselves.

But Jiang Dai, who had just stepped outside and heard these comments: …

【Seriously, folks, do you think covering your mouths with your hands means you’re whispering?】

【Could you please lower your volume a bit? It’s giving me a headache!!】

【And also! These people couldn’t actually be debt collectors, could they?】

Juanjuan stayed close to her mother. When the child saw the young attendant by the carriage, she instinctively grabbed hold of her mother’s sleeve.
