Compared to the unchanging dishes in the army, tonight's meal was extremely sumptuous. A table full of dishes even made Tong Tong, who came down from the second floor munching on an apple, a little surprised.
Xiao Sheng, who had washed his hands at the sink by the door, quickly walked into the living room at Aunt Wu's urging. He gave a cursory glance at the luxurious decoration in the main hall, which was full of oriental charm, but his body and mind were completely conquered by the delicious dishes on the table. Unlike in some wealthy families where there are strict dining rules, after Chen Shuyuan, dressed in home clothes, came downstairs, the four of them started to eat. Although the work meal at Huaxin at noon had a rather high standard, compared with these home - cooked dishes in front of him, it paled in comparison. For the first time, Xiao Sheng felt that the food could be more attractive than the two beauties with different styles sitting across from him.
Looking at Xiao Sheng gobbling up his food, Aunt Wu, sitting beside him, had a kind smile on her face all the time. She told Xiao Sheng not to eat so fast and personally filled a bowl of chicken soup for him with a soup bowl, telling him not to choke. This scene made Tong Tong, sitting across from them, quite "jealous".
After viciously finishing the apple in her hand, and seeing that Xiao Sheng had already finished one bowl of rice, she picked up her chopsticks, pouted her lips halfway, and stared coldly at him, muttering, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? Look at the way you eat, gobbling like a wolf." Xiao Sheng, with his mouth full of food, just looked up at her disdainfully, ignored her, and continued eating on his own. This made Miss Tong very unhappy. She thought that wherever she went, she was a prominent figure. So many men flocked to her, but she didn't even give them a second look. How dare this reckless big guy ignore her!
With her cousin and Aunt Wu around, the little devil Tong Tong didn't want to make a scene. But her eyes, which could charm any man, were now fixed on Xiao Sheng. Suddenly, an idea popped into Tong Tong's head. She took off her slipper and, with her chubby little foot that had taken off the stockings, stretched it out towards Xiao Sheng under the table. But on the table, Tong Tong still looked very proper, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the surface.
Xiao Sheng, who was lowering his head, tearing and eating the chicken drumstick that Aunt Wu had put in his bowl and stuffing rice into his mouth, suddenly froze. He leaned to the side and saw Tong Tong's delicate foot across the table using her toes to tickle the back of his knee. His cheeks bulging, a bit flustered, he looked up at her. When their eyes met, with Tong Tong deliberately looking coquettish and alluring, Xiao Sheng suddenly swallowed all the food in his mouth. Seeing Xiao Sheng's reaction, Tong Tong, secretly delighted, thought that the lustful fish was about to take the bait. She was determined to make him look bad.
However, just as Tong Tong was imagining Xiao Sheng's imminent embarrassment, Xiao Sheng suddenly leaned back, grabbed Tong Tong's tender foot that was about to reach up, and said in a righteous tone, loudly, "Sister, I'm not that kind of person. Don't do this. It will only hurt you physically and emotionally." Following Xiao Sheng's voice and his posture, Aunt Wu and Chen Shuyuan simultaneously turned their eyes towards Xiao Sheng. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became a bit awkward. Especially when Tong Tong, so ashamed that she wanted to find a piece of tofu to smash her head against, was desperately trying to pull back her right foot, and her appearance was in contrast to Xiao Sheng's righteous and gentlemanly look. Even Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but half - open her mouth and stare in a daze.
According to Tong Tong's plan, as long as it was a man, he wouldn't reject such an "amorous encounter". Once she lured the other person's foot over with her feigned retreat, she would take the initiative and cover the other person's face with the rice in her bowl, then put her hands on her hips and scold him severely. Tong Tong had used this kind of trick many times in school and never got tired of it. But why did this situation happen today?
Having been in the romantic world for so many years, what kind of tricks hadn't Master Xiao seen? Such a low - quality and vulgar trick couldn't deceive Xiao Sheng's high IQ. Knowing that he didn't have that much charm, Xiao Sheng had already experienced Tong Tong's "extreme contrast". If he made the same mistake twice, he wouldn't be called Xiao Sheng.
The atmosphere in the entire hall froze at this moment. Feeling that it was about time, Xiao Sheng loosened the strength in his hand. Tong Tong, who was pulling back her right foot with all her might, almost fell backwards. Her face as red as a swollen apple, Tong Tong stood up, gesticulating wildly, trying to explain something to Chen Shuyuan and Aunt Wu. But the more she tried to explain, the worse it got. Finally, so ashamed that she couldn't bear it anymore, she didn't even care about the slipper left under the table and rushed upstairs in a hurry. As she went upstairs, Tong Tong gave Xiao Sheng a venomous look.
Had her cousin been defeated? Chen Shuyuan, coming back to her senses, had such an idea in her mind. The corners of her mouth slightly turned up, she shook her head gently, then looked up at Xiao Sheng, who had sat down as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help thinking about something.
Aunt Wu, who knew her young lady's temperament well, didn't blame Xiao Sheng. Instead, she smiled, took an empty bowl from the kitchen, picked out a few dishes that Tong Tong usually liked, filled half a bowl, said a word to the two of them, then carried the bowls and chopsticks upstairs. Soon, Xiao Sheng heard Aunt Wu earnestly persuading Tong Tong to eat.
Whether it was because of the incident that happened just now affecting the bumpkin's appetite, or because he was really full after two bowls of rice, when facing Chen Shuyuan alone, Xiao Sheng's eating manner became refined and slow, very gentlemanly.
"Hey, did I overdo it just now?" Xiao Sheng, stretching his head towards the dining table, stared at her. Chen Shuyuan, looking up slightly at Xiao Sheng, smiled sweetly, then nodded and replied softly, "She's still a child."
"Just because she's a child, I didn't fall for it. If it were you, I'd definitely be hooked." Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan's face turned a bit gloomy. It wasn't because of this slightly ambiguous remark, but because this guy actually imitated Tong Tong and stretched his stinky foot to the side of Chen Shuyuan's leg, with his toes rubbing against it. Even a clay figurine has some temper, not to mention President Chen, whose period was always irregular.
Chen Shuyuan angrily stood up, picked up the half - bowl of rice on the table that she hadn't finished, and without hesitation, put it on Xiao Sheng's face. Then, she pulled the chair away and resolutely walked up the stairs.
Xiao Sheng, wiping the rice grains on his face with his hand, didn't show any change in his expression. He licked the grease on the corner of his mouth with his tongue, his eyebrows raised slightly. With a somewhat lewd smile, he said to himself, "Spicy, I like it."
But after saying this, Xiao Sheng obediently cleaned up the mess. He couldn't let Aunt Wu see this, or his image would be greatly damaged.
