She nodded her head; this ti she didn't do as before, realizing that no matter how good one's mory is or how high their IQ, so things can be rembered 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 , but everything that happens between us must not be shared with others."
Li Xiaoyu's intention was to assist Tang Xian, but sohow, 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 seed different from Bai Shuang. She thought it was a matter between won, and it was nice to sotis keep secrets from Tang Xian.
Of course, the main reason was that Bai Shuang indeed talked about nothing besides cooking. It seed 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 soone 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 seed she also sensed sothing special from Bai Shuang towards herself.
She didn't contemplate the reasons, for she had co 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 ?" would automatically co 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 ti 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 sa, 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 so thought, it seed 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 soone honest.
Duck's springti 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 sowhat similar to Tang Xian. Both seed to be Guangdong natives devoid of sentint.
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.
