Chapter 1653: Military Training (15)
Opposite the bunk bed was a desk. The desk was a bit shabby, but Aunt Tang would clean it up. She covered the desk with a piece of cloth, and then pressed a piece of transparent glass on the cloth. There was also a white long-necked glass bottle filled with a few branches of pale pink plum blossoms. There were also many photos sandwiched between the glass and the cloth.
Ruan Jiaojiao had not had time to look around the room at noon. Now Aunt Tang had not yet served a dish, so she naturally could not go to eat first.
Duan Xu saw that the meal was not ready yet, so he took the time and took the hot water kettle that Ruan Jiaojiao had placed at the door of the dormitory when she left in the morning, and went to the water room next to the cafeteria to fetch water. In this way, Ruan Jiaojiao could take a shower after dinner and have some time to rest before the evening assembly.
Ruan Jiaojiao had nothing to do, so she stood in front of the desk and looked at the photos curiously.
Most of the photos were of Aunt Tang and a little boy, from small to large.
Ruan Jiaojiao could tell from the boy's eyebrows that it should be Aunt Tang's son Cai Peng.
Cai Peng was a very handsome boy, and he looked more like a girl when he was young. When Ruan Jiaojiao was looking at him with great interest, she felt a shadow cast on her side. She thought it was Duan Xu who came back, so she turned her head and smiled, and asked: "So soon..."
She turned around and saw the person, and then she realized that it was not Duan Xu who came back, but Aunt Tang's son Cai Peng.
Cai Peng did not expect that when he came back to get something, he would meet Ruan Jiaojiao again, and that she was standing in his house. Especially when he saw Ruan Jiaojiao smiling at him so sweetly, his heartbeat accelerated and his pretty face turned red.
"Why is Xiaopeng back?" Aunt Tang poked her head out of the kitchen again when she heard the voice: "Did you forget something? Have you eaten dinner?"
Actually, Cai Peng had eaten dinner, but looking at Ruan Jiaojiao beside him, he replied inexplicably: "No."
"No, then let's eat together later before going to school. This is Jiaojiao, your elder brother Ruan's sister. Remember, she will eat at home in the future." Aunt Tang was afraid that her son would be confused, so she took the initiative to explain with a smile.
"Oh." Cai Peng nodded with a calm face, but in fact he was very happy because of the news.
"Then hurry up and add more rice. I'll be ready soon. Oh, add four more bowls of rice." Aunt Tang said and went back to the kitchen.
Cai Peng hadn't recovered from Ruan Jiaojiao's smile just now, so he noticed why Aunt Tang asked for four more bowls of rice, and subconsciously took out four bowls.
While he was adding more rice, Ruan Jiaojiao went to get two bowls. While Cai Peng was still adding more rice, she went to get four pairs of chopsticks and placed them on the four sides of the small table.
Cai Peng came over with two bowls of rice, and then he noticed it and asked in a low voice: "Is there anyone else?"
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, and just when she was about to answer that there was another person, she saw Duan Xu standing at the door with a thermos, frowning coldly, looking at Cai Peng who was standing with Ruan Jiaojiao in the room.
After this meal, Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know if she was overthinking it, and felt that the atmosphere was much more awkward than at noon.
She always felt that Duan Xu's face was a little cold, but it seemed that he was usually like this in front of outsiders.
In fact, she didn't think too much, Duan Xu was just unhappy and angry, but he was angry with herself, which was really frustrating.
Last night's meal in the cafeteria let Duan Xu know that she didn't like it.
