After the precedent set at noon, Cheng Xining washed the dishes much more skillfully this time. There were only three bowls, and she finished quickly. She hoped for some praise from He Nan, but after standing next to him for quite a while, He Nan showed no reaction.
"Brother Nan, I've washed the dishes and even wiped down the stove."
"Hmm," He Nan responded expressionlessly, and then fell silent, his attention fixed on the TV.
Cheng Xining felt a bit aggrieved; after doing so much, Brother Nan didn't even offer her a word of praise.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Shen Mianmian patted the spot next to her, "Xining, come and watch the Spring Festival Gala with us?"
On hearing this, Cheng Xining immediately sat between Shen Mianmian and He Nan. Almost the second she sat down, He Nan stood up and went back to his room. Cheng Xining pouted, annoyed, and turned to glare at Shen Mianmian. "It's all your fault."
