From then on, Bai Ling occasionally visited Luo Xiao''s house for meals; indeed, no more admirers appeared at his home.
从这之后，白灵隔三岔五的就在罗肖家吃饭，而罗肖的家真的再也没有桃花出现了。
Bai Ling wasn''t good at taking care of herself, and she enjoyed freeloading delicious meals. Luo Xiao, in contrast, had a talent for making people feel comfortable, as his presence was like a refreshing spring breeze.
白灵并不擅长照顾自己，蹭饭很香，而罗肖这个人做事总能让人自在，因他个人给人带来的感觉就是如沐春风。
She might not feel as at ease and stress-free as she did with Luo Xiao if Bai Ling were to scrounge meals at another person''s home. Likewise, if Luo Xiao invited a different girl over for meals frequently, the girl would undoubtedly think he had feelings for her. However, he treated Bai Ling like a close friend or sibling, and she also reciprocated.
蹭饭若是换个人家，白灵可能不能蹭得这么自在没有压力，而罗肖如果请其他姑娘经常来自己家吃饭，那个女生一定会觉得罗肖喜欢上她了。可是他招待白灵像招待兄弟朋友那样，而白灵这个客人也做得真如同是他兄弟朋友那样。
As time went by, the two grew increasingly close, becoming more like friends or siblings.
这二人随着时间的流逝，越来越熟悉，也越来越像朋友，像兄弟。
Nonetheless, Luo Xiao understood Bai Ling much better than she understood him.
但是罗肖了解白灵远比白灵了解罗肖多得多。
He consistently observed her attentively and engaged with her wholeheartedly while she merely enjoyed his hospitality. As their relationship deepened, Bai Ling began to purchase groceries and actively assist with food preparation and cleanup. Initially, she wanted to contribute to Luo Xiao''s living expenses, but she soon realized that he cooked for her simply because He just wanted to be kind to her.
因为他在一直在认真观察她，用心的和她相处，而她还真是仅是个蹭饭的人，来的次数多了后她也经常去买菜，然后也会积极的帮忙洗菜切菜收拾碗筷，本来她是想直接给罗肖生活费的，可是一想人家吃饱了撑着才会来给她做饭吃。
She wasn''t one to take advantage of others, and he didn''t need to do all the things for money.
她不是一个会占别人便宜的人，而他也不是一个缺这点饭菜钱的人。
It would only create awkwardness between them if she offered him money. She chose to buy groceries and help more around the house to compensate for him.
他请她吃饭，若她掏生活费给他只会给两人带来难堪。所以为了不做一个贪图便宜的人，她只能尽力自己多买菜，并且多干活。
After all, Luo Xiao was a renowned figure—the most popular and talented guy in school during his time.
罗肖是什么人呀？他可是大名鼎鼎的罗肖呀！当年全校最有名的校草人物，同时也是大名鼎鼎的大才子。
Even Bai Ling, who had always been absorbed in her studies and oblivious to the world, was aware of his existence. Clearly, someone like him wouldn''t cook for others just for some extra money.
连白灵这个两耳不闻窗外事，一心只读圣贤书的人都知道这个人的存在，可见这样的人又哪会去为了点生活费给别人做
