The next day, Tang Ruochu slept until almost noon before getting up.
As she went downstairs, she heard a silver bell-like laugh coming from downstairs.
She frowned and followed the laughter to the kitchen door.
In the kitchen, Aunt Wu and Ming Xiaoxiao were chatting happily.
Ming Xiaoxiao saw her, and immediately stopped chatting with Aunt Wu, and instead shouted at her with a smile: "Sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Aunt Wu turned her head, and when she saw her, a loving smile appeared on her face, "Young lady, get up." Hungry? "
Tang Ruochu walked over and shook his head slightly, "I'm not hungry." "
Then his eyes fell on the neatly arranged dumplings on the board on the cooking table, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you eat dumplings at noon?"
"Hmm." Aunt Wu nodded and said with a smile: "It's Xiaoxiao who wants to make dumplings for the young master to eat, so I simply wrapped everyone to eat together."
Tang Ruochu nodded, and then raised a faint smile to Ming Xiaoxin: "Xiaoxiao, you are a guest, and you are really embarrassed to let you do this."
Ming Xiaoxiao shook his head, "No." Brother Shijin likes my shrimp dumplings the most, so I'm happy to make this. "
Favorite? Tang Ruochu's eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled and didn't say anything more.
She turned around and walked out of the kitchen, just in time to see Lu Shijin coming downstairs, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her beautiful little face.
She greeted her, "Shijin." "
Lu Shijin stopped in front of her, looked at her with gentle eyes, the corners of his lips hooked up a seemingly nonexistent arc, and he asked, "Are you still tired?"
When he asked, Tang Ruochu remembered everything that was beautiful in the night, his ears couldn't help but feel hot, and his fair cheeks were flushed with a faint flush.
She gave him a disgusting look, "Can you please stop mentioning this?" "
Lu Shijin smiled and rubbed her head, his eyebrows and eyes were full of doting.
Ming Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen, originally with a smile on his face, but when he saw the relatively warm scene of Lu Shijin and Tang Ruochu's eyes, the smile gradually faded.
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Ming Xiaoxiao walked over slowly.
"Brother Shijin, sister-in-law." She shouted softly.
Hearing this, Lu Shijin and Tang Ruochu turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw that it was her, Lu Shijin didn't show too much expression, but just looked at her lightly, completely lacking the gentleness when facing Tang Ruochu.
Tang Ruochu looked at it and asked, "Are the dumplings finished?" "
"Well, it's done." Ming Xiaoxiao smiled, and then his gaze moved to Lu Shijin's handsome and extraordinary face, and there was a hidden admiration in the depths of his eyes that was difficult for others to detect.
She smiled, "Brother Shijin, I made your favorite shrimp dumplings." "
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Really?" Lu Shijin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "Just leave this kind of thing to Aunt Wu to do, you don't have to do it yourself." "
The smile on Ming Xiaoxiao's lips froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered, she hid the thick loss in her eyes, pursed her mouth, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Brother Shijin, you don't give me face when you say this, right?" Not everyone can let me make dumplings for him to eat. "
Seeing that her little mouth was about to hang up the oil bottle, Tang Ruochu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and explained what Lu Shijin said.
"Xiaoxiao, what does your brother Shijin mean, it's okay if you have this intention, there's no need to do it yourself."
"What does my sister-in-law mean... Brother Shijin is reluctant to do these menial jobs? Ming Xiao looked at her expectantly.
"... Sort of. Tang Ruochu's tone was a little hesitant.
In fact, she didn't mean it this way, but now that Ming Xiaoxiao was completely misunderstood, she thought that if she wanted to explain it clearly, Xiaoxiao might be even more sad.
Looking at Xiaoxiao's little face, which suddenly came alive, Tang Ruoxin let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Forget it, it's wrong.
She turned her head and met Lu Shijin's deep eyes.
He seemed to be telling her not to say that.
But... That's it, and that's it.
She gave him a look of helplessness in return.
At lunchtime.
"Brother Shijin, you eat more."
Ming Xiao eagerly sandwiched the dumplings on the plate into the small plate in front of Lu Shijin.
Looking at it, Tang Ruochu raised his eyebrows, but looked at Lu Shijin with a smile.
The latter also looked up at her.
She immediately looked pitiful and pointed to the few dumplings left on the plate with her chopsticks.
Lu Shijin raised his eyebrows quietly, and then gave Tang Ruochu the dumplings that Ming Xiaoxiao had given him.
Ming Xiaoxiao noticed his actions, stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes to look at Tang Ruochu, and at the same time saw that the dumplings he had sandwiched to Brother Shijin were all on Tang Ruochu's plate, and a trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
This is the shrimp dumplings that she worked so hard to make for Brother Shijin, and now that Tang Ruochu has divided half of it, she feels that her heart has also been divided in half.
I feel very uncomfortable.
Ming Xiaoxiao bit her lip and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, do you also like to eat shrimp?" "
Tang Ruochu looked at her and snorted slightly, "I like it a lot." "
After answering, she picked up a dumpling and put it in her mouth, and then her eyes lit up, and she said to Ming Xiaoxin with a look of surprise: "Xiaoxiao, this is delicious, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good." "
Seeing that she really ate the dumplings, Ming Xiaoxiao was very unhappy, but she still barely had a smile on her face, "Of course it's delicious." Because Brother Shijin loves to eat, I deliberately learned from the chef at home. "
Shijin loves to eat, so he deliberately learned? Tang Ruochu raised his eyebrows, so attentive, shouldn't he have ulterior motives?
Tang Ruochu smiled and said meaningfully: "Then you are really good to your brother Shijin." "
Ming Xiao smiled shyly, "Well, among all the brothers, my favorite is Brother Shijin." "
"Favorite?" Tang Ruochu's eyebrows raised, half joking and half serious, asked, "Is it the kind of love you want to marry him?" "
As soon as she asked this, Lu Shijin smiled a little, she really cares about the little existence.
Hearing this, Ming Xiaoxiao was shocked and shook her head busily, "Sister-in-law, no." I don't have that kind of affection for Brother Shijin. "
Seeing that her face had changed, Tang Ruochu couldn't help but smile, "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just joking." "
Joke? Ming Xiaoxiao's nervousness relaxed suddenly, she chuckled, and looked at Tang Ruochu helplessly, "Sister-in-law, can you stop making such jokes in the future." "
She was really nervous.
Tang Ruochu smiled, "Well, I won't make this kind of joke in the future." "
Ming Xiaoxiao pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, then lowered her head, secretly relieved, she thought that her mind had been seen through.
Tang Ruochu looked at Ming Xiaoxiao thoughtfully, and his heart was a little clear.
