Chapter 189 He is jealous

The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.

The most embarrassed person was naturally Xu Qingwu, who was the center of the topic.

She didn't know how much of Chen Ning's words Cen Xihuai had heard...

Zhang Ji called Cen Xihuai in. Cen Xihuai changed into slippers and politely greeted Chen Ning: "Master's wife, happy birthday to you."

Chen Ning smiled and said, "Xi Huai is here. I'm really sorry that I couldn't attend your wedding last time because I was sick."

Cen Xihuai: "It's okay, as long as you are healthy."

Zhang Ji interjected, "What a coincidence, isn't it? Turns out they're from the same family."

Chen Ning was puzzled: "What's the coincidence?"

Zhang Ji pointed at Cen Xihuai and then at Xu Qingwu: "Guess what their relationship is?"

Chen Ning looked at Xu Qingwu.

Xu Qingwu walked over and took Cen Xihuai's arm, winking at Chen Ning: "Teacher, I am the bride."

She had originally planned to introduce Cen Xihuai to Chen Ning today, but she didn't expect that they had already known each other for a long time.

Chen Ning looked at Cen Xihuai in disbelief, then at Xu Qingwu, and couldn't connect these two people who had nothing in common.

Especially since she saw Zhong Kai today and was thinking about bringing him and Xu Qingwu together...

Chen Ning's face was filled with embarrassment, and his usually fluent mouth even stuttered a little: "Um... Xihuai, you didn't hear what I just said, did you? If you did, just treat it as a joke."

Cen Xihuai asked in confusion, "Teacher Zhang and I just came here. Did you just say something bad about me?"

Chen Ning laughed and said no, then introduced Zhong Kai to him. This time she did not link Zhong Kai and Xu Qingwu together, but only said that Zhong Kai was her favorite student.

Zhong Kai extended his hand toward him: "Hello, Zhong Kai."

Hearing his name, Cen Xihuai frowned slightly and shook his hand lightly: "Cen Xihuai."

Although Zhong Kai looked calm, Chen Ning still felt that the atmosphere was awkward and asked Zhong Kai to go to the kitchen to help her prepare the crayfish.

Chen Ning is from Xingcheng and is an expert at cooking crayfish. Every year when Xu Qingwu comes over on her birthday, she makes it for her.

Chen Ning smiled and said to Cen Xihuai, "Qingwu likes this kind of crayfish. It's a pity that the crayfish are not fat in winter. Next time it's Teacher Zhang's birthday, you can come over and play. The crayfish are bigger in summer."

Cen Xihuai said hello.

Chen Ning and Zhong Kai went into the kitchen to process the crayfish. Cen Xihuai followed them and asked Chen Ning to go out and rest.

Chen Ning knew that Cen Xihuai was not an ordinary kid, so his first reaction was that he probably couldn't do it: "Go play chess with your teacher Zhang, you're not needed here."

Cen Xihuai: "You are the birthday girl, how can I ask you to work?"

Chen Ning: "Can you?"

Cen Xihuai: "I did it to Qingwu once before."

Chen Ning found it quite strange. In fact, most people were too lazy to do it themselves, and it was convenient to go to a restaurant or order takeout. He didn't expect that Cen Xihuai was willing to do such a small thing himself.

Cen Xihuai asked Chen Ning to leave, then looked at Zhang Ji who was doing nothing: "Teacher Zhang, please don't be idle either."

Zhang Ji went into the kitchen and said, "You little bastard, you're the only one who dares to ask me to do something."

Cen Xihuai: "I'm doing this for your own good. It's Master's Wife's birthday, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to do nothing?"

Zhang Ji found tools for Cen Xihuai and Zhong Kai, and the three of them processed the crayfish. Zhang Ji moved slowly, while Cen Xihuai and Zhong Kai were like competing with each other, working faster than the other, so he moved even slower.

If three monks are carrying water to drink, two of them only need to work hard.

The men were all working in the kitchen, and Xu Qingwu was outside watching TV with Chen Ning, but she was distracted and couldn't concentrate at all.

"Qingwu, I never thought you and Xihuai would get married. I almost wanted to pair you up with Zhong Kai. Luckily, Xihuai didn't hear it."

"Don't mention me and the senior later, he's jealous."

"I can't tell."

Xu Qingwu felt like laughing when she thought about what Cen Xihuai said yesterday about him being jealous. It was indeed quite inconsistent with his usual cold attitude.

Chen Ning looked at the smile on Xu Qingwu's face and said with relief, "It seems that your marriage is very happy. Why didn't I see you mention him the last time I came?"

"We didn't know each other last time."

"Then how did you two meet?"

"My family introduced us and we got married because we felt the conditions were right. He treats me very well and I like him very much now."

"Student Lao Zhang is indeed very popular. In the past, many female students from the neighboring school came to take his class just to catch a glimpse of him."

Xu Qingwu had never seen Cen Xihuai during his college years.

It's a bit of a pity.

"But, Lao Zhang is similar to him. He's a blockhead and doesn't understand romance. So many female classmates like him, but he's just as focused on studying as an ascetic monk. He has no idea about love at all."

Isn’t it.

Still now.

There were three pounds of crayfish in total, and it didn't take the three of us too long to process them.

Zhong Kai received a call and said he had something urgent to deal with, so he left without eating. Chen Ning went out to see him off.

After sending her off, he called Xu Qingwu to help in the kitchen, but before she could even go in, she was pushed out by Cen Xihuai.

"Master's wife, I want to learn your cooking skills and make it for Qingwu next time."

"OK!"

Chen Ning and Cen Xihuai were busy in the kitchen. Xu Qingwu and Zhang Ji were sitting there a little awkwardly. Xu Qingwu took the initiative to ask him what kind of chess he liked, saying that she wanted to play chess with him.

This made Zhang Ji very happy. He immediately went to the study to get out the chess set. Unexpectedly, Xu Qingwu was actually very good at chess. His original mentality of just playing with the junior soon changed, and he began to plan his strategy seriously.

It was almost time for dinner, but Zhang Ji was still reluctant to leave.

He didn't like playing with Cen Xihuai because Cen Xihuai was too smart and he had never won. He liked playing with Xu Qingwu because Xu Qingwu was smart but not too smart. Playing with her would result in wins and losses.

When Cen Xihuai heard Zhang Ji invite Xu Qingwu to come over to play chess next time, he was a little surprised. He didn't know Xu Qingwu could play chess.

On the way back, Cen Xihuai asked about this.

Xu Qingwu said: "Dad Shen likes to play chess, and I have learned a little bit of chess and Go."

Cen Xihuai praised her: "That's amazing."

"No way..." Xu Qingwu had heard Zhang Ji complain about him before, saying that no one could ever win a game against Cen Xihuai. She felt embarrassed when he praised her for being so good.

Cen Xihuai: "Not everyone can play chess with Teacher Zhang. The fact that he thinks so highly of you shows that you are really good."

Xu Qingwu was almost flattered by his praise.

Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly took a sharp turn, and he said, "Teacher Chen said, what does it mean to develop a relationship with your brother Zhong Kai?"
