"Senior Sister, stop, stop, stop! You, you stop shaking first!"
Even though Jiang Yu had joked with Pan Jingchen before, saying that Liu Xining would "ask him to make another bowl of ran after finishing one," he couldn't help but feel a little on edge when it actually happened.
Especially since Liu Xining now looked completely different from how he rembered her.
In Jiang Yu's eyes, the Liu Xining of the past was graceful and elegant. Her manners and speech were poised and dignified, like a true lady.
But now, Liu Xining appeared like a girl of eighteen or nineteen, looking pure, cute, and with a bit of a lovable vibe, her fair little hands holding his arm and shaking it...
Was she... whining to him?!
This, this completely overturned Jiang Yu's understanding!
At that mont, he felt a chill run through him, and goosebumps popped up all over.
Jiang Yu, as if electrified, tried to pull his arm away while saying,
"Senior Sister, can you, can you let go of first?"
"Oh, then can you make a bit more ran? I'm really not full yet!"
Liu Xining was just joking with Jiang Yu. After letting go, she looked at him with a pitiful face.
Sitting beside them, Pan Jingchen had already snapped back to reality. She wasn't surprised by Liu Xining's playful side.
Not to ntion Liu Xining, most girls know how to act coy.
If you haven't seen this side, it's because you're not worth her showing that side to you!
Of course, Pan Jingchen was an exception.
After her mother's death, her father saw her as a burden and would occasionally hit her. She knew from a young age that acting cutesy wouldn't benefit her and could even result in a beating.
In such circumstances, she had to make herself stronger; how could she act cutesy?
As a child, she didn't dare to, and as an adult, she didn't need to.
She was just this kind of proud and resilient girl.
Pride was to protect herself from hurt, and resilience was her refusal to pretend to be cute just to please others.
In contrast, Liu Xining was much luckier, with loving parents and family who treated her like a princess, cherished by everyone.
Her knowing how to act coy was perfectly normal!
However, when facing the public and fans, she wore a "mask" of grace and poise; that was the image she established for herself. Now, this was the real Liu Xining.
Of course, she would only show this side in front of people she trusted.
So when Liu Xining, like a little girl, held Jiang Yu's arm and whined, Pan Jingchen imdiately understood:
Liu Xining had already accepted Jiang Yu as a good friend.
Whining a bit to a close male friend—what's wrong with that?
As Pan Jingchen thought of this, she heard Jiang Yu, sitting on the side, helplessly say:
"Alright, alright, Senior Sister, you sit here and take a break. I'll go make it for you now.
Also, stop looking at like that; it makes my heart race!"
Probably worn out by Liu Xining's persistence, Jiang Yu reluctantly stood up, gathered the bowls and chopsticks from the coffee table, and rushed into the kitchen.
The way he hurried off looked quite flustered.
"Hehe, thank you, Junior Brother!"
Liu Xining, with her goal achieved, couldn't help but beam with delight, her lively deanor completely different from her lethargic state when she had a stomachache in the morning.
"Ah Ning, Junior Brother Xiaojiang is an honest person; don't scare him."
Pan Jingchen had almost finished her bowl of wide ran. Seeing Jiang Yu and Liu Xining barely touched the scrambled eggs with tomato, she emptied the plate into her own bowl, eating slowly and shaking her head as she said,
"If you keep acting like this, he might be too scared to co back to you. If that happens, we won't get to eat Junior Brother Xiaojiang's cooking again."
"Uh, was I... really that scary just now?"
"Not at all, very cute. But with that deanor, even I, a woman, feel my bones lting. Do you think a young guy like him can handle it?"
"!!!"
Liu Xining's face turned bright red in an instant. She squeezed in next to Pan Jingchen, suddenly reaching out to tickle her sides, with a face full of embarrassed annoyance, saying,
"I won't let you talk nonsense! I won't let you!"
Pan Jingchen, though ticklish, never backed down from such playfulness. While dodging with quiet laughter, she also reached out to tickle Liu Xining.
Liu Xining was much more ticklish; even before Pan Jingchen's hand touched her, she couldn't stop bursting into laughter, both of them collapsing on the sofa in a fit of giggles.
At this mont, Jiang Yu erged with a freshly cooked bowl of thin ran, only to see Liu Xining and Pan Jingchen sprawled on the sofa, panting with laughter and their slippers off, even their pajamas tugged askew.
This sight made Jiang Yu stop in his tracks, unsure whether to move forward or retreat to the kitchen, feeling utterly awkward.
These were two big stars from the entertainnt industry, and if paparazzi saw them like this, it would surely drop their jaws!
