Chapter 34 If you don't agree, I'll keep feeding you

Cheng Yang naturally couldn't have failed to notice his wife's previous alienation from him, but he thought it was normal. After all, it was inevitable that his wife would feel aggrieved after not seeing her for so many years.

It will definitely take him a long time to warm his wife's heart and make compensation.

But what he didn't expect was that his wife's attitude suddenly changed after she came back after just a short while. This enthusiasm made him a little confused.

But no matter what Cheng Yang thought, Shi Xiaoai didn't care at all at this time. Her mind was back on her two children.

The doctor had previously said that today would be the day Xiaoxi's back would hurt the most. In order to prevent the child from feeling too uncomfortable, a sleeping pill was added to the fluid she was given, and she was specifically told not to wake her up.

So Xiao Ai just called Mingrui to eat the egg custard.

But it was obvious that Octavia had no appetite.

After he woke up, he just leaned in Shi Xiaoai's arms and said he felt dizzy. He sobbed softly in irritability. Not to mention eating, he didn't even want to open his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Shi Xiaoai felt very distressed.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up Mingrui and placed him on her lap, patting her son's back soothingly and coaxing him softly.

Cheng Yang came over and sat down without knowing when.

He sat diagonally next to Shi Xiaoai, holding a small bowl in one hand, which was half filled with rice mixed with egg custard, and a small spoon in the other hand.

He scooped half a spoonful of rice with a spoon and gestured to Shi Xiaoai to continue coaxing.

Then, while Mingrui was confused, he quietly put the rice into the child's mouth.

Octavia's humming paused noticeably.

He chewed it for a few times and seemed to think it tasted good, so he chewed it a few more times and then swallowed it.

Before he could cry again, Cheng Yang put another spoonful into his mouth...

In this way, the couple coaxed the child while the other fed him, and while the child was still confused, they finally managed to feed him half a bowl of rice.

Mingrui refused to eat anymore. He buried his head in his mother's arms, closed his mouth tightly, and refused to open it no matter what.

Seeing the child like this, the two of them didn't force it anymore.

"I'll hold him, you eat first." Cheng Yang said as he stretched out his hand.

Octavia seemed to have heard it, and he showed his resistance to this father who was still a stranger to him without any concealment.

He hugged Xiao Ai tightly, and she cried even louder. It looked like he was determined not to let go.

Shi Xiaoai continued to coax the child, and at the same time shook her head at Cheng Yang: "You eat, I'll eat later."

Cheng Yang was helpless about this situation. He had no choice but to sit back on the bench and open his lunch box again.

Shi Xiaoai continued to sit on the bed and coax the child to sleep.

Octavia wasn't usually a clingy child; on the contrary, he was incredibly independent. His current state of affairs was a testament to how deeply he was suffering.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ai felt very distressed. Not to mention just holding the child, she would be happy even if she was asked to suffer for the little guy.

She held Mingrui and continued to coax him, not wanting to move even when her legs were numb.

But at this moment, a spoon with the aroma of meat was suddenly handed to her mouth.

Shi Xiaoai was stunned for a moment and quickly looked up.

Only then did she realize that Cheng Yang had sat back down when she wasn't noticing.

He was very close to her, almost face to face, still holding a bowl in his hand, which contained not only rice but also large pieces of egg custard and braised pork.

At this moment, he put a spoon filled with food to her mouth, just like he did to Octavia.

Shi Xiaoai's eyebrows twitched.

She waved her hand, signaling Cheng Yang to take it away.

But that person seemed to not understand at all, and the spoon was placed at her lips without moving, and that posture -

If she didn't open her mouth, he was going to confront her.

Helplessly, Shi Xiaoai could only say: "No, you first..."

Before she could even say "eat", the spoonful of rice with braised pork was stuffed into her mouth.

The rice was warm, and the braised pork was tender and tasty. Xiao Ai took a spoonful and started chewing subconsciously.

It's too late to refuse.

She glared at Cheng Yang speechlessly and reached out to push the empty spoon away.

Cheng Yang smiled and said nothing. Instead, he lowered his head and started mixing the rice again.

This time it was filled with rice and egg custard.

When the spoon was extended to her again, Shi Xiaoai had learned her lesson. She pursed her lips, turned her head to the side, and pushed it away with her hand.

Cheng Yang finally spoke: "Eat something first, otherwise the braised pork will get cold and won't taste good."

Shi Xiaoai shook his head and pointed at the table to signal him to eat first.

Cheng Yang thought for a moment and handed her the bowl: "Let's eat together. I'll hold the bowl for you."

Seeing that she was about to refuse again, he threatened bluntly: "If you don't agree, I will continue to feed you."

Shi Xiaoai had always eaten by herself, and had never been chased and fed before. Faced with someone's threat, and still being held tightly by her son, she felt so embarrassed that she had no choice but to compromise.

She nodded.

A smile instantly appeared on Cheng Yang's lips.

He moved the chair over, opened the two lunch boxes and placed them on it, then took out a bowl from the basket and filled himself with rice.

After doing these things, Cheng Yang naturally sat down next to Shi Xiaoai again and raised the half bowl of rice to her hand.

Shi Xiaoai had to free up one hand and scoop the rice into her mouth in this position.

The weather was indeed too cold, and even though the ward was well sealed, the food quickly went cold. It wasn't long before the uneaten braised pork in the lunch box was coated in a layer of white oil.

Although they were supposed to eat together, Cheng Yang's attention was obviously on Shi Xiaoai. He kept adding rice and dishes to her food, and he hardly moved his chopsticks at all.

It was not until Shi Xiaoai finished the last mouthful of rice in the bowl and pushed the bowl away to indicate that she would not eat anymore that Cheng Yang withdrew his hand.

He did not throw the bowl aside, but stood up, poured half a bowl of boiling water from the thermos and handed it over again.

After drinking a bowl of hot water, Shi Xiaoai finally felt much better.

Seeing that she was indeed full, Cheng Yang picked up the bowl and started eating.

Shi Xiaoai never knew that one could eat so fast alone!

She didn't even see Cheng Yang wolfing down his food; he devoured the rest in a flash! He even ate up the cold meat and the remaining soup at the bottom of the box, mixing it with rice.

Only then did she realize a problem and couldn't help asking, "How many meals haven't you eaten?"

Cheng Yang paused as he was clearing the dishes, then raised his head a bit embarrassedly and explained, "I was in such a hurry to come back that I didn't bring enough dry food, so I ate it all at noon yesterday."

It's already afternoon!

That means Cheng Yang didn't eat a single grain of rice for a whole day and night.

But this person had just been urging me to eat first.

Looking at him, Shi Xiaoai's expression was a little complicated, and for a moment she herself couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Cheng Yang's movements were very efficient. He quickly cleaned up the dishes, washed them, and brought them back.

After entering the door, he extended his hand to Shi Xiaoai: "I'm going to return the dishes. By the way, can you give me the key to your house? I'll go back and see if there's anything I need."

Shi Xiaoai didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear anything, but her hands subconsciously clutched her trouser pockets, and her face was full of rejection.

Seeing her action, the expression on Cheng Yang's face froze.

He stared at Shi Xiaoai for a long time, then sat down on the chair opposite her and said calmly, "Xiaoai, I think we need to talk."

When Xiao Ai heard him say this, she did not refuse. She was originally planning to find a time to talk to him.

After all, there has to be a way to resolve the relationship between two people. Being so unclear will only add to the awkwardness.

Hearing Cheng Yang's initiative, Shi Xiaoai simply put the already asleep Mingrui back on the bed, then turned around and sat facing him with a calm expression.
