"Stop the bickering, one three five I'm in charge, two four six she's in charge, okay?"
Seeing the two women showing signs of a quarrel, Xu Fan could not sit still any longer, so he stepped forward to break it up.
"Humph! What about Sunday then?"
"..."
The attempt to distribute responsibilities fairly did nothing to quell the anger between the two of them; instead, it seemed to Drill even further into looking for trouble with him.
Confronted with their demanding stares, Xu Fan was at a loss for words. Don't you guys ever give me a day off?
"Can't we just get along?"
Glancing at Feng Huang who was secretly chuckling in bed, Xu Fan spoke out.
These days, taking care of her, he had nearly gotten a nosebleed from the effort, wasn't it difficult enough? Yet, here she was, freshly awake, and already causing him such a headache.
Where is the mutual trust between people?
"Oppa, you were the one who provoked me first."
Feng Huang snorted with her chin tilted up in a haughty fashion. If it weren't for your incessant teasing, would I have played such a prank on you?
Now that she was dressed neatly, she reached out her hand again to Xia Xiaodie.
"Little Xiaodie sister, I was just joking with you just now."
"Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Feng Huang, I'm an old friend of Xu Fan."
At this, Feng Huang glanced at Xu Fan who was beside her and said, "Hmm, a very good friend."
"..."
Without emphasis, it would have been one thing, but by stressing it, their relationship seemed somewhat ambiguous.
Watching Feng Huang mugging at him, Xu Fan couldn't help but shake his head.
But let her be; the fact that she had woken up was the best outcome.
"All right, you two chat. I'll go and cook for you."
After being in a coma for seven days, Xu Fan believed Feng Huang must be starving by now. He picked up the ingredients Xia Xiaodie had brought and got ready to enter the kitchen to prepare lunch for the two of them.
"Oppa, I want to help you."
"I... I'll go as well!"
Although Xia Xiaodie's hostility toward the suddenly emerged beautiful woman had lessened, she still remained somewhat vigilant.
The moment she saw her rise from the bed, Xia Xiaodie hurriedly rushed over to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan watched, caught between laughter and tears.
With such a small kitchen, if you two both go in, how will any cooking get done?
"Enough, Feng Huang, stop fooling around. Don't forget, your injuries have only just healed."
Upon being glanced at by Xu Fan, Feng Huang, feeling a bit embarrassed to continue her antics, shrugged her shoulders and went to sit on the sofa.
"Humph, big dummy, big meanie..."
Now in the kitchen with Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan watched as she looked at him with a face full of complaint and murmured.
"..."
Clearly, she was upset with him because of Feng Huang, and Xu Fan, bemused, shook his head and said, "My little girlfriend, who are you complaining about?"
"Shut up! I'm... I'm not your girlfriend! Humph!"
Slapping Xu Fan's hand away from her cheek, Xia Xiaodie pouted and shot Xu Fan an indignant glare.
The introduction from before was simply a remark made in a moment of irritation!
"Alright, alright, not the girlfriend, but little wifey, come on and help."
Watching Xia Xiaodie with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, Xu Fan prepared to start cooking.
"Xia Xiaodie, Feng Huang doesn't have a bad heart, don't take it to heart."
"She got hurt so badly purely because of me, so I must take good care of her."
While cooking, Xu Fan explained to Xia Xiaodie, who was at his side.
Feng Huang was his comrade-in-arms, and this time, she had almost lost her life for him. Xu Fan didn't want any misunderstandings to arise between her and Xia Xiaodie.
Just now, the reason Feng Huang joked around was merely for fun. Xu Fan just hoped that Xia Xiaodie wouldn't take it to heart.
"Mm, I know."
Seeing Xu Fan's earnest gaze, Xia Xiaodie obediently nodded her head.
Upon reflection, it was true that Feng Huang's complexion didn't look good, a sign of serious injury.
She was willing to sustain such severe injuries for Xu Fan. Their bond must be strong.
Glancing at Xu Fan, and no longer dwelling on the matter, Xia Xiaodie obediently started to help Xu Fan with the cooking.
"Alright, come and eat."
Shortly after, the two had prepared an abundant lunch. Xu Fan beckoned, and the three of them sat down at the dining table.
"Oppa, it's been a long time since I've tasted the food you've cooked."
Now seated at the dining table, Feng Huang picked up her chopsticks, looking at the full spread of dishes like a little glutton licking her red lips.
"Come on! You've worked hard, I'll feed you!"
Right then, Feng Huang picked up a piece of beef and brought it toward Xu Fan.
"Cough cough..."
This woman, he had just spoken highly of her, and now what's she starting again?
Glancing at Xia Xiaodie, who was seated beside him, Xu Fan coughed twice.
"I'm just trying to thank you for saving me."
Not being too aggressive, Feng Huang looked a bit aggrieved, placed the beef in Xu Fan's bowl, and took back her chopsticks.
"Xu Fan, you eat this."
He had thought that Feng Huang would stop there and that there wouldn't be any more fuss. But the moment he turned his head to look at Xia Xiaodie, he saw the girl, unwilling to be outdone, reaching for a rib for his bowl.
"Pfft, just eating ribs is no good; you should have some vegetables too."
After Xia Xiaodie added hers, Feng Huang also picked some greens for her own bowl.
"Then add some chicken too."
The two went back and forth, and the food in their bowls piled higher and higher. Sparks were nearly flying in the looks they exchanged!
Xu Fan was dumbfounded.
Great, everything he had said in the kitchen earlier was in vain.
"Enough!"
Putting down his chopsticks, Xu Fan looked over at the two women who were competing with each other.
"I say, what are you two doing? Going at it with your chopsticks like that? Am I still going to eat or what?"
Looking at the mountain of dishes nearly reaching the ceiling in his bowl, Xu Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Although I endure a handsomeness beyond my age that makes it hard for you to control yourselves, can you please try to restrain it a bit?"
He shook his head helplessly, and distributed the food from his bowl into the two girls' empty bowls, instructing, "Now, both of you behave and eat your food!"
"Hmph..."
Although they were not entirely convinced by each other, scolded by Xu Fan like this, both women quieted down and obediently began eating the food in their bowls.
At last, peace prevailed, and Xu Fan, holding his bowl, let out a sigh of relief.
They say three women make a drama; he didn't even have three, yet it was already so lively. What a headache...
The meal was quickly finished.
Xia Xiaodie put down her chopsticks and after pondering to herself for a moment, looked at Xu Fan.
"Xu Fan, I quite like Feng Huang, so how about, starting from today, she comes to live with me?"
Xia Xiaodie's words left Xu Fan utterly baffled.
With the you-look-at-me-I-look-at-you attitude you two just had, is "like" really the right word????
