Pei Ge gave her mother a dubious look but blinked in confusion in the next instant when Zhang Manhua continued eating Tang Xiaoyu’s cooking with gusto. Her mother even nodded her head approvingly.

Could it be a case of ‘a scholar making progress despite being gone for only three days’?

Could her best friend, who was talentless at cooking, really have lit up that skill?

Should I… try a bit of it?

She hesitantly lifted her chopsticks and moved them toward the omelet Zhang Manhua had just taken a portion to eat.

Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at her fearful action and said indignantly, “Relax; you won’t get poisoned to death this time.”

“He he…” She smiled rather ingratiatingly before resolving to bravely put the food in her mouth.

Her eyes widened in the next instant, and she looked at Tang Xiaoyu in disbelief. After a pregnant pause, she resumed chewing the omelet in her mouth.

“How is it? Not too bad, hm?” Once Pei Ge ate some of her cooking, Tang Xiaoyu regarded the other with a face full of anticipation and nervousness.

She had actually been feeling guilty toward Pei Ge for causing her to be hospitalized in the past with her cooking.

That was really a dark piece of history in her life!

Pei Ge seriously nodded and, after swallowing the omelet in her mouth, commented with exasperation, “My gosh! Love really can make the impossible become possible! A cooking idiot like you is now able to cook food, and it’s an edible one at that! This is just so unbelievable!”

“Shut it, Pei Ge! Will you die if you don’t try to anger me to death?!” Tang Xiaoyu infinitely widened her eyes in anger at her.

“He he… I was just speaking the truth. Look at how much progress you’ve made! Although it isn’t as good as my cooking, it is still pretty decent. Strive on!” She grinned and then picked up a chunk of roasted meat.

“Go die! Since you despise my food so much, then you shall not have any of it.” Tang Xiaoyu lightly harrumphed and tried to block her from eating.

“Aish, I am not despising it.”

Zhang Manhua amusedly shook her head as she watched the two horse around. She could not help but think to herself, Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and these two lasses are now grown-ups and will soon get married.

Sigh… Time passed by so quickly…

After a lively dinner, Tang Xiaoyu left an entire table of mess for Pei Ge to clean up as she intimately pulled Zhang Manhua into the living room to watch TV and chat.

Pei Ge helplessly smiled at the sight of her best friend having fun with her mother. With this smile on her face, she proceeded to wash the dishes.

She only retired to her bedroom after she was done washing the dishes and cleaning herself up in the washroom.

Entering her room, she immediately spotted Tang Xiaoyu sitting on her bed and flipping through a photo album.

“What are you looking at?” She smiled and walked toward her curiously.

“I am looking at the photos we took in the past!” She picked up the thick photo album and waved it at Pei Ge.

Staring at the photo album in surprise, Pei Ge sat down beside her best friend.

“Where did you find it?”

“I know you so well. You will definitely label the things you don’t use but treasure a lot and put them in a box under your bed.” Tang Xiaoyu gave her a smug smile.

Amused, she knocked on her best friend’s head and joked, “You are still the same as ever – always finding fun in looking for the things I hide.”

“He he… Take note that this hobby of mine is only limited to you and my boyfriend. I can’t be bothered to look for things if the owner is someone else!” Tang Xiaoyu raised her chin and proudly declared.

“Alright, alright. You are really panting when I call you fat.” Pei Ge rolled her eyes at her best friend in amusement.

“Why? You don’t like me like that?” Tang Xiaoyu peered at her with a straight face and questioned her with a queenly attitude.

“I like it; of course, I like it. I can’t like anyone, but I will definitely like you!” She grinned and winked at her. “I like you and your personality like that.”

“Good thing that you said that.” A vibrant smile immediately blossomed on Tang Xiaoyu’s face.

“Alright, let’s stop this and pipe down. This house’s soundproofing isn’t good, so let’s try not to disturb mom with our noise,” she spoke in a hushed tone.

Tang Xiaoyu agreed with a nod, “I know.”

After their short, hushed conversation, the two crawled into bed and started flipping through the photo album together.

“Do you still remember this?” Tang Xiaoyu pointed to a photo with twinkling eyes. There were two girls in the picture. An extremely gorgeous girl with princess hairstyle was showing a black face, and, next to her, another pretty girl with short hair was holding a chalk in her left hand and covering her mouth with her right hand to stifle her laughter.

Affected by her best friend’s happy smile, Pei Ge also revealed a wide smile.

“Of course, I do. That was April Fools’ Day, and you swapped the sweet in the White Rabbit candy with chalk and had me eat it.”

“You didn’t even suspect a thing and happily ate it. Ha ha!” Tang Xiaoyu tried hard to stifle her laughter that tears came out of her eyes, making her luminous orbs look so vibrant.

She indignantly glared at her best friend, who was laughing so hard that she was panting. Nudging her lips, she said softly, “I also think that it’s pretty funny. Your baby teeth fell at that time, so the anger I felt for being tricked into biting that chalk immediately dissipated when I saw you laugh without knowing that your front teeth were gone. I was so amused I laughed so hard, too!”

“Ugh!” The smile on Tang Xiaoyu’s face disappeared as an ominous feeling rose from her heart.

Don’t tell me…

“I still have that photo around.” Pei Ge’s eyes turned into slits from smiling as she flipped another page of the photo album.

A photo with a similar setting to the previous one was revealed to their eyes. However, this time, both the pretty girls were laughing aloud.

In the photo, the short-haired girl had her hands down and her mouth, which was wide open from laughing, was missing a pair of beautiful front teeth. The vacant space left by the missing front teeth was so dark it was very entertaining.

Meanwhile, the girl, who looked mad in the previous photo, had a larger and more vibrant smile than the short-haired girl this time.

The two girls laughing at each other made those around them involuntarily smile as well.

“We were… really happy at that time…” Tang Xiaoyu had a happy, nostalgic smile on her face when she said this.

Yes, we were truly happy at that time.

Father was still alive back then, and I was still that brainless and worry-free princess.

Those were the happiest moments of my life…
