Chapter 282
“Smells good, doesn’t it? Tempting, right?”
“Cousin, can you eat meat?”
“We can over here.”
“Oh, I see. Then let Mom cook a few pieces.”
“Tomorrow, maybe. For now, just put it in the fridge. Tonight, let’s eat something light, maybe vegetarian.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than his mom came out with a plate of stir-fried peppers and meat. The two of them froze for a moment.
Then, this amusing cousin of his said, “Peppers are pretty light, right? Kind of counts as vegetarian too. I think it’s fine.”
As they sat down to eat, Li Muxue joined them, chatting away. During the conversation, they learned a lot about her life.
One of the things they found out was that after her father passed away, this cousin went to live with her grandmother for a while. It was during that time she got to know his mom. Back then, Xu Lin’s mother had just gotten married but had a falling out with her husband, so she returned to her hometown. That’s when she met his cousin, who was just a few years old at the time.
