Bad Timing

Zhuang Xiao'ai was angry and sad, so she yelled at Xia Xibei, who came in. Her small stature made her look more like a pissed off kitten, showing her teeth but with not much aggression.

Zhuang Xiao'ai thought the bad guys were the ones who came in, but when she saw who it was, she froze. 

"Who are you?"

Xia Xibei had changed her appearance and looked much more ordinary, so Zhuang Xiao'ai couldn't recognize her.

"I… I heard that there is good food here, so I came over..."

Xia Xibei's mind worked quickly and she immediately came up with a good excuse.

Before, Zhuang Xiao'ai had said that she had good cooking skills, and with the pots and pans outside, this was likely a small restaurant selling food.

This reason made Zhuang Xiao'ai frown. 

"How do you know?"

"I heard about it from others," Xia Xibei explained casually.
