"Huo Jue, give this bowl to Grandma Huo first."
Huo Jue glanced towards Wen Xia Nuan: "My grandma..."
He was about to speak when Wen Xia Nuan said seriously, "We still have so much in the pot, you can take it."
Huo Jue's eyes swept over Wen Xia Nuan, and when he realized she was serious, he nodded: "Okay, then I'll take it first."
He turned and left. Wen Xia Nuan held her chin and looked at the chicken in the pot, feeling quite expectant.
"Brother Jue, are you at home?"
Wen Xia Nuan was in a daze, but when she heard the sound coming from far away, she looked outside the house a few times: "Brother Jue?"
The person had already walked in, and Wen Xia Nuan set her eyes on her. The woman had two pigtails, a pink short-sleeved shirt made of coarse cloth, black pants, and cloth shoes.
She looked at the woman, but she never thought that the woman was also looking at her.
"Wen Zhiqing?"
Wen Xia Nuan came back to her senses and responded, "Who are you?"
The woman placed the bowl on the table and said with a smile, "I'm Chen Yanfang, and my mother is Aunt Fatty."
Wen Xia Nuan had an impression of Aunt Pang. When Old Lady Wang was scolding her before, she came out to speak for her.
I just don’t know why Chen Yanfang came here to find Huo Jue?
"Isn't Brother Jue here?"
Chen Yanfang glanced around, and when she didn't see Huo Jue, she lowered her head with a look of disappointment.
"Huo Jue went to get food for Grandma Huo."
Wen Xia Nuan was talking, then looked at her and asked, "What do you want to talk to him about?"
Chen Yanfang pursed her lips and looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "I just wanted to send some food to Brother Jue. My family caught some fish, and my mom asked me to bring some over."
The bowl was steaming hot. Wen Xia Nuan smelled the fish and couldn't help but frown.
Although fish can be caught in streams these days, ordinary people cannot cook them well because the fish have a fishy smell from a distance.
Although Wen Xia Nuan likes to eat fish, she can't stand the fishy smell.
She set her gaze on Chen Yanfang's face, and inexplicably felt that the woman in front of her might like Huo Jue.
"Then you wait a little longer."
Wen Xia Nuan's muffled voice came, but she was too lazy to continue paying attention to Chen Yanfang.
Chen Yanfang glanced towards the door from time to time. Seeing that Huo Jue had not arrived yet, she stood up from her chair and glanced at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, my family also needs to eat, so I won't stay here for now. If Brother Jue comes, remember to tell him."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the house. Wen Xia Nuan looked at Chen Yanfang's hurried look and couldn't help but frowned.
When Huo Jue came back, Wen Xia Nuan was in a daze with a wooden face. He also saw the bowl on the table: "What is this?"
Wen Xia Nuan came back to her senses and saw that Huo Jue had already taken the bowl. She said with little interest, "Your good sister Chen Yanfang brought it."
"Why aren't you eating yet?"
Huo Jue placed the bowl of fish in front of Wen Xia Nuan, but Wen Xia Nuan leaned back, covering her nose with her hand, her tone full of disgust: "Stay away from me!"
Wen Xia Nuan spoke in a humiliated tone. Huo Jue quickly took the bowl away and asked in confusion, "Is it because the smell is too fishy? You can't stand it?"
While he took away the bowl and chopsticks, he also took out the chicken from the pot.
The aroma of chicken effectively covers up the fishy smell.
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue: "What is your relationship with Chen Yanfang?"
She stared at the man curiously. Huo Jue paused with his chopsticks in his hand and glanced at Wen Xia Nuan with a strange look: "What relationship could she have with me?"
Wen Xia Nuan bit her chopsticks and ate the chicken, and couldn't help but squint her eyes in satisfaction. But when she heard Huo Jue's voice, she looked up at him: "If she has nothing to do with you, is it worth it for her to send you fish from so far away?"
Huo Jue laughed at this moment. Wen Xia Nuan looked at his raised mouth and her own appearance, and put down her chopsticks in anger: "What are you laughing at?"
Wen Xia Nuan didn't know why she was so angry. Huo Jue sighed and put his chopsticks on the table: "Wen Zhiqing, what are you so angry about now?"
Wen Xia Nuan didn't know what she was angry about, but she just wasn't used to seeing Huo Jue smile like that!
Huo Jue put her chopsticks back into her hand, as if to comfort her: "I'm smiling because I'm happy. Wen Zhiqing doesn't seem to care about me that much."
Wen Xia Nuan bit her chopsticks and glanced at Huo Jue. His words made her feel uneasy.
But if she really wanted to say something, she couldn't really say it.
Wen Xia Nuan lowered her head and said nothing.
Huo Jue then continued, "If there's any connection between my family and the Chen family, it's probably because of Aunt Fatty. She used to be a maidservant serving my grandmother, but later she became a landlord. Aunt Fatty got married and has been taking good care of my family."
"So that's how it is."
Wen Xia Nuan understood instantly, looked at Huo Jue and asked again: "Are you related to Chen Yanfang?"
Huo Jue shook his head, and Wen Xia Nuan smiled: "Give me this mushroom."
He picked up some mushrooms with his chopsticks and put them into Wen Xia Nuan's bowl. She took a contented bite and looked at Huo Jue and said, "You can eat the fish yourself. I don't like it. It tastes fishy."
Huo Jue responded and looked at Wen Xia Nuan happily eating the chicken. The smile in his heart slowly grew, as if the joy was about to overflow from his heart!
Wen Xia Nuan spat out the chicken bone in her mouth and her eyes fell on Huo Jue. Looking at his smiling face, she felt goose bumps all over her body.
What's wrong with this guy? The look in his eyes makes her feel scared!
"Not eating anymore?"
When Huo Jue saw her put down her chopsticks and bowl, his eyes locked onto her: "How much are these two chickens?"
Wen Xia Nuan raised her head and met Huo Jue's gaze: "Are you going to charge me?"
Huo Jue didn't say anything, but the expression in his eyes was clear. Wen Xia Nuan subconsciously frowned and said, "No need."
Wen Xia Nuan stood up and was about to leave. Huo Jue also stood up and came to her side: "No, I'll give you the money."
The man was like a majestic mountain blocking her way. Wen Xia Nuan frowned and said, "I said no!"
She took a deep breath and said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Huo Jue took out the money from his pocket and when he handed it to Wen Xia Nuan, she opened it.
The money was scattered on the ground, and Wen Xia Nuan said impatiently: "I said no, didn't you hear clearly?"
His gaze fell heavily on Wen Xia Nuan. Staring at her with his gloomy eyes, Wen Xia Nuan felt inexplicably frightened: "You, why are you looking at me like that?"
