Chapter 29 - Pork Ribs

While Mo Cheng thought of how stubborn both people are, the pair of aunt and nephew started their argument again.

''Shen, I told you that I am not hungry,'' said Song Yi.

Song Shen who was standing near the door while arguing went to his aunt, sat beside her in the bed, and said,'' Do you really think that I am some two years old to believe your words .''

''But I am really am not hungry,'' said Song Yi.

''I know that it is not, that you are not hungry, it is just that you don't want to eat or you are not feeling your hunger because you are too sad to realize it, because you think you have hurt me,'' before Shen could complete Yi said,'' I am,'' but before she could finish Song Shen interrupted her and said,'' You don't have to think that you have hurt me, aunt you should know that, I am not the one I was when I am four, and those feelings and memory are all gone as for the hurt you think I am suffering from, it really vanished when I was four, so you don't have to feel guilty thinking that, you have hurt me because you really did not hurt me, those things in the past could no longer hurt me''.

''Shen, you don't have to lie for me'' said, Song Yi.

''Do you think I will?'' before Yi could answer Song Shen answered his own question saying, ''I won't lie, aunt, and now you are coming with me down and going to have your dinner''. after he said that he got up and went outside the room before nodding his head to Mo Cheng, indicating to bring Song Yi down to have dinner to which Mo Cheng also nodded his head in return.

As Song Shen went outside, Mo Cheng said, my sweety, look your little Shen is no more little he is a grown man now and so matured now, so stop worrying and feeling guilty, come let us go down and eat our dinner, Shen will be waiting for us.

...........

Song Shen was waiting for his uncle and aunt to come and eat and dinner, he placed the napkin on his lap and tapping his figures on the dining table as he was impatient because his little stomach was really hungry also he was not sure if his aunt will be coming down to eat but if she didn't eat he also will not eat definitely as he said on his aunt's room and he would not even regret that decision, while the butler was blinking his eyes as he didn't know the actual situation and he had no idea about what happened on the top so he was praying for his master and miss to come down to eat, that is when he saw his master holding his wife's hand he felt relieved and thanked his young master Song Shen in his mind while the couple walked through the stairs and got down.

Butler Jiang Huang Fu, greeted Mo Cheng,

Master, Young miss, how have you been these days I've asked the chef to prepare your favorite crab broth and young miss's favorite chocolate cupcakes please eat, I hope it would be to your liking master and miss.

We are good said Mo Cheng and sat on the head chair of the dining table and then the butler smiled at Mo Cheng before leaving the family of three to have their piece of private time.

And Song Shen started digging into the food and he saw his favorite pork rib which was place in a white plate, and he turned to his aunt to look at her but song yi was busy into digging her food so find notice her nephew looking at her and when he saw his aunt eating he felt relieved and an irreplaceable peace came into his heart, he turned to his pork rib plate but left it untouched as always the last time he ate it was when he was three years old after that he stopped eating it but knowing that it was his favorite dish his aunt would always ask the chef to prepare it but he could not eat it even though he tried to do it, but he always failed every time as it did this time but that did not stop him from trying to eat it, just like how it did not stop his aunt from asking the chef to prepare it for him, just like she did today, even though song yi was upset today she would not forget his favorite things and he knew it so he wanted to eat it for his aunt's sake every time but failed miserably everytime.

Several minutes later . . . . . . . . . . .

Today Song Yi was so occupied with her sorrow for hurting her little Shen, so she didn't do anything about the pork rib or anything, but she also did not forget to call the chef before because she was calling a world-renowned chef so she preplanned her order yesterday so she was a little relieved during her sorrow time period, at that time she thanked god. I already asked the world-renowned Master Chef, Si Liang to prepare his signature pork ribs and other dishes which Shen eats regularly yesterday when I came to know that I will be coming here to Huashan or else I don't know what I will be doing today what if had forgotten she thought to herself when her sight caught the plate of pork ribs and looked at her nephew, her nephew Song Shen used to love pork ribs, but she herself knows that her nephew would eat anything edible and is never picky about his food but pork rib has always been his favorite dish until he was three after that everything took a drastic change but she had always tried to bring back that old Shen but she always failed but had never given up she would keep on trying as she believes the time has the power to heal certain would even though it can't heal all wounds, and she always thought that her Shen's would get healed by time even if it was not today but someday in the future that is all she wants nothing more, Song Shen who felt a gaze on him looked up only to see his aunt's sorrowful face which was looking at him when she realised that Song Shen looked at her she averted her eyes but Shen say that her eyes slightly went to the side of pork rib and he understood that his aunt wants him to eat it, but he already failed today when he first saw the plate of pork ribs, while he was thinking that he failed his hands involuntarily went to the pork rib he took the plate and started eating it before he could realise, because his mind reacted before he could realise since everything in his mind today was that he was not hurt or haunted by his past, he not only reminded his aunt Song Yi earlier but was also reminding himself and his brain so badly wanted to prove it to Song Yi that he left his past behind and this time his brain won his heart, before he could realise and he was definitely happy that this time his brain won and not his heart, Song Yi who saw the movement of the plate in her hindeyes looked up and say her nephew eating the pork rib and was pleasantly surprised so he hunched her husband Mo Cheng with her elbow and mo cheng suddenly looked at her and seeing her happy face he followed her gaze and saw Song Shen eating his pork frecking ribs he also was surprised, when song shen looked up again from his plate only see the couple looking at him happily, especially his aunt was looking happy and surprised which contradicted her previous sorrowful look, song shen for some reason felt embarrassed even though he knew why his aunt and uncle are so happy to get rid of his embarrasment he said,

You want some asked shen to the couple to which the couple burst into laughter,

Silly boy, I am allergic to pork so I can't eat pork ribs and your uncle doesn't eat pork, so no pork ribs for him said Song Yi to which Mo Cheng nodded his head smiling handsomely full of mischief in his face.

Song Shen once again felt embarrassed because he does know that his aunt is allergic to pork so she does not eat pork ribs and his uncle does not eat pork as his aunt does not eat them, yet in order to get rid of the embarrassment, he said it before these facts could strike his head.

Oh, I forgot, said Song Shen sheepishly.

Oh, I thought someone got shy to the point of not realizing his brain's voice said mo cheng jokingly with mischief dripping from his face ,

Mo Cheng stop bullying him, Shen just forgot that we don't eat pork.
