Chapter 1209: Veggies in His Teeth

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Technically," Su Bing announced as he adjusted his seat, "we’re not going to the library—we’re going to the open space next to it. I saw some jelly grass growing there the other day. We can pick a bunch and make something delicious tonight."

At the mere mention of jelly grass, both Su Li and Su Le perked up like puppies hearing the word "walk."

Su Li, who had the prime seat just behind Chen Xi on the motorbike, leaned forward with wide-eyed excitement. "Big Brother, since when do you know how to make herbal jelly? Did Mom secretly teach you again?"

Su Bing gave him a light tap on the forehead. "I learned back in our hometown. I just watched Mom cook and picked it up on my own. She never ’secretly’ taught me anything. Mom always teaches in broad daylight—no secrets needed."

Meanwhile, Chen Xi—still processing this bizarre idea of voluntarily eating grass—couldn’t quite understand the excitement. He wasn’t living through a famine, thank you very much. And now Su Bing was saying tonight’s ’delicious dinner’ was... boiled grass?

His appetite deflated on the spot.

"Fine, I’ll take you," he muttered, starting the engine. "But first, pop quiz: don’t you think I look especially handsome today?"

After all, he’d taken the motorbike to school and the way people—especially the girls—had turned to stare as he zoomed past? That was enough to inflate any young man’s ego. Outwardly, he’d kept a poker face, but inwardly? He’d been thriving. What was the point of being a heartthrob if his three resident sidekicks couldn’t even stroke his ego?

Silence.

Then Su Li, ever the blunt instrument, rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Your outfit’s pretty cool. But your face? Same as always."

Chen Xi blinked. That couldn’t be it. He looked damn good today, and he knew it. He turned his head slightly, eyes darting to Su Bing, who was sitting behind Su Li, hoping for a better review.

Su Bing glanced at him and murmured, "I just noticed there’s a piece of leafy vegetable stuck between your front teeth."

With the wind howling past them on the motorbike, Chen Xi didn’t quite catch that. "What? What leaf? Say it louder!"

Su Bing didn’t bother to respond, but Su Li did—loud enough for the whole street to hear.

"CHEN XI! MY BROTHER SAYS YOU’VE GOT VEGGIES IN YOUR TEETH!"

Chen Xi nearly choked on his own dignity. These two little devils were going to be the end of him.

But then came the angelic voice of Su Le, sweet as sorbet. Sitting in front of him, she turned her head and said, "You look super cool today. Handsome and cool. A little veggie in your teeth can’t ruin that. Don’t worry. Also... I really want to eat chilled herbal jelly tonight."

Flattery wrapped in a request—what a deadly combination.

How could Chen Xi say no to that face? He sighed, defeated. For Su Le, the family’s resident charmer, he would endure anything. Even wild grass.
