Over there, Bi Xia had no idea about the conversation between Xia Jingshen and Elder Zheng. At this mont, she was watching her brothers devour the food at the dining table, smiling helplessly as she said to ng Chi, "Look at them. Anyone who didn’t know might have thought I’ve starved you all the way here."
ng Chi glanced at the group, shaking his head mildly, "No, it only ans they haven’t seen enough of the world."
"Hmm?" Bi Xia rested her chin on her hand, puzzled, looking at ng Chi.
ng Chi paused, picked up the juice, and poured it into Bi Xia’s empty wine glass, "If they had eaten the als made by our godmother, they’d know that these als are nothing more than floating clouds."
Hearing ng Chi’s words, Bi Xia chuckled softly, "Is it really that bad?"
Ye Xiao, sitting nearby, nodded quickly, "Yes, boss, Aunt Xia’s als are truly sothing else! Sotis I really envy you, with Aunt Xia’s cooking being so delicious you get to eat it every day, but I can’t..." As he spoke, he sighed helplessly, "You know in our family, the only one who can cook is my dad. If my mom gets into the kitchen, we’re worried the kitchen will catch fire any second, but even then, my dad’s cooking is just so-so."
"Sigh," Ye Xiao sighed sorrowfully, "I don’t even know how I managed all these years. I always felt like I was under severe oppression, which led to the illusion that my dad’s cooking was actually okay."
Hah—
Du Zizun burst into laughter upon hearing this. He laughed heartily at Ye Xiao, "Really! I thought my dad’s cooking was already pretty diocre, but your dad’s cooking is even more so!"
As he spoke, it was as if he didn’t see the already darkened face of Du Han next to him. Du Zizun curiously looked at Ye Xiao, "Xiao, does the boss’s mom really cook that well? You should know my dad’s cooking is basically dark cuisine! Tomatoes with milk, what the heck! So..."
"Ahem!"
Glancing sideways at the coughing Du Han, Du Zizun felt puzzled but then realized. Just when Du Han thought Du Zizun would stop speaking, Du Zizun happily waved his big hand, "Dad, don’t be shy. With Captain Ye here with you, what’s there to fear!"
Then he continued, "That’s why, when they sent to study outside, I was initially very reluctant, but after my dad cooked that night to compensate, I cheerfully packed my things the next day and got on the bus to study out of state."
Ye Xiao: ...
Sharing a glance with ng Chi, Ye Xiao coughed lightly and lowered his head, "Kid, think a little. Even though I’m talking about my dad, at least he’s not here, but your dad is right next to you, and his face is already so dark it might spill ink."
Seeing Du Zizun being pulled out of the room by Du Han with a black face, everyone fell silent for a mont, and when the door closed, a burst of laughter exploded. Outside, Du Zizun, being scolded by his dad, gritted his teeth, ’Damn it, why didn’t anyone warn earlier!’
Xia Nian’s elite face showed a touch of gentleness, "Really, hanging out with you young folks makes feel younger."
"Hey, Brother Nian, what are you saying," while eating, the most sociable Ye Xiao had already gotten to know Xia Nian, raising his glass, "You don’t look old at all, don’t say silly things. Today we’re rare to be relaxed, so let’s have a good drink!"
Even Xia Nian was getting tipsy, he slapped his big hand, "Alright! Let’s hit the KTV later! Brother Nian will treat you to a song!"
Bi Xia rolled her eyes expressionlessly, ’Damn it, my brothers call you bro. Being my mom’s godbrother, you have the nerve to agree.’
She gently shook her head, turned her eyes towards ng Chi who was flipping through his phone, and watched as his brows furrowed tighter, and then he happened to et Bi Xia’s gaze. ng Chi paused, then calmly poured another glass of juice for Bi Xia.
Bi Xia curled her lips and smiled softly, "Am I a water bucket?"
"Hmm?" ng Chi looked at Bi Xia, puzzled.
Bi Xia, now with one foot propped up on her chair and an arm resting on her knee, supported her chin with one hand. Her starry eyes slightly raised, sparkles dancing inside as she lightly tapped her wine glass, "You keep filling it up every ti I finish. Are you trying to force to the bathroom?"
ng Chi: ...
Her red lips curved in a smile, Bi Xia exhaled lightly, "Sigh, lucky it’s just juice. Otherwise, I’d think you were trying to get drunk on purpose, Chi, you’ve changed..."
ng Chi: ...
