Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 657 - 56: Baichuan’s Interesting Events and the True Face of Bai Shuang_3

She nodded her head; this time she didn't do as before, realizing that no matter how good one's memory is or how high their IQ, some things can be remembered by the mind but not by the hands.

So, she obediently took notes.

It was from that day on that Li Xiaoyu and Bai Shuang actually started to converse regularly.

Bai Shuang never talked about anything other than cooking with Li Xiaoyu, and Li Xiaoyu never asked too much.

Only once did Bai Shuang say:

"I know who sent you to get close to me, but everything that happens between us must not be shared with others."

Li Xiaoyu's intention was to assist Tang Xian, but somehow, she always felt that Bai Shuang was quite lonely too.

The young girl nodded her head and agreed to it.

Because she had few friends of her own, though Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran certainly were, they seemed different from Bai Shuang. She thought it was a matter between women, and it was nice to sometimes keep secrets from Tang Xian.

Of course, the main reason was that Bai Shuang indeed talked about nothing besides cooking. It seemed like there was nothing worth discussing with Tang Xian.

In the many following days, Li Xiaoyu and Bai Shuang maintained a status of master teaching and disciple doing, never indulging in any superfluous chatter. It was fortunate that it was Li Xiaoyu; had it been someone else, like Tang, he surely would have tried to pry into matters.

But Li Xiaoyu didn't pry; she felt a closeness to Bai Shuang. It seemed she also sensed something special from Bai Shuang towards herself.

She didn't contemplate the reasons, for she had come to understand Bai Shuang's character well enough: don't ask what you shouldn't, don't talk about what you shouldn't, and even don't think about what you shouldn't. Whenever Bai Shuang wanted to talk, she would naturally do so. If she didn't want to talk, then you could only expect four words in reply, "What's it to you?"

The most interesting thing was that Bai Shuang had never actually said "What's it to you?" to Li Xiaoyu, yet Li Xiaoyu just had this feeling that Bai Shuang was that kind of person.

Tang Xian was different. Whenever he thought of Bai Shuang, the words "What's it to you?" and "What's it to me?" would automatically come to mind.

Bai Shuang had many secrets, a mystical beast that had wandered the Human World for centuries must know many hidden truths. Li Xiaoyu wouldn't ask, but just followed along cooking, happy at the thought of being praised by Tang Xian for her culinary skills when he returned. As for the rest… leave it to fate.

However, the day Bai Shuang took human form, the greatest beneficiary wasn't Li Xiaoyu or Tang Xian.

It was Duck.

After that day, Bai Shuang taught Li Xiaoyu how to prepare the famous Suzhou-style Triple Duck, but there were no ducks nearby except for the Sword Feather Ducks.

Poor Duck, though ambitious to strive and develop its career, each time it saw Zhen Zida and the second duck being affectionate, its heart bled.

Then one day, Duck was shocked.

Zhen Zida disappeared, nowhere to be found.

The goddess was sad, and Duck was even more heartbroken.

Leading the flock in search of the missing Sword Feather Duck, they found no clues or leads. For several days in a row it was the same, the second duck was heartbroken and in despair, while Duck offered warm words of concern.

As long as there's a quick change of focus, there is no sorrow, only love.

Eventually, the goddess, the second duck, was moved by Duck. After some thought, it seemed Duck wasn't too bad. Completely devoted, though a little unsightly. Although young and fresh ducks were nice, with so many suitors around, there was no sense of security. In the end, what matters is finding someone honest.

Duck's springtime had arrived.

But it was a little anxious—where had the young and fresh duck gone? Why did it just disappear all of a sudden?

What if one day it disappeared too?

If Tang Xian were here, he'd surely believe that Bai Shuang's choice of that fresh young duck was deliberate because he was convinced that Bai Shuang had an understanding of the extraordinary nature of the leader of the Sword Feather Ducks.

But Bai Shuang truly hadn't thought that much into it. She was just a primordial being who had been swindled into losing their own identity, among a flock of ducks. She simply ate because she wanted to.

Essentially, in this respect, Bai Shuang was actually somewhat similar to Tang Xian. Both seemed to be Guangdong natives devoid of sentiment.

It's just that if Tang Xian truly saw Bai Shuang's human form, his inner thoughts would probably be more complex because that face was not unfamiliar to him.
