"Whether I like it or not is not important." Xu Qingning looked at his steaming gaze and gnawed on the ribs with relish. "The important thing is that you can fill my stomach."
"Feeding you is a very simple thing, isn't it?" Zhao Jingyu's tone became increasingly ambiguous, and his gaze then fell on her fair neck. He was so close that he could even see the delicate texture of her skin.
"Zhao Jingyu, I'm pregnant! What are you talking about?" Xu Qingning exclaimed in surprise.
Holy crap, this is in the cafeteria.
What does he want to do?
"What do you think I'm talking about?" Zhao Jingyu looked at the grain of rice on the corner of her lips, giving her a meaningful look. "Of course I'm talking about eating. Are you thinking about something else?"
People kept coming in to get their food and gradually sat down in the seats behind her.
Against the backdrop of a sea of dark blue overalls, she instantly became stunning.
Although she was already very beautiful, he had never seen her so beautiful, delicate, and alluring.
"What else are you talking about?" Xu Qingning looked at him innocently, thinking to herself, "This man is no good, he's too slick."
Is he leaving tomorrow and wants to... you know... with her?
The image of intense suffocation immediately flashed into her mind. No, absolutely not.
"What do you think?" Zhao Jingyu's face suddenly loomed large in front of her, a handsome and alluring face with an open collar. When she looked up, she could just catch a glimpse of his chest muscles.
"How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" Xu Qingning looked away and continued eating her ribs. Anyone can play the game of tai chi.
When faced with a man overflowing with hormones like this, the best approach is to ignore him, or better yet, kick him into the river.
If that doesn't work, kick him in the groin.
Anyway, she already has children, so she doesn't need them anymore.
"You're so smart, how could you not understand what I mean?" Zhao Jingyu finally reached out and removed the grain of rice from the corner of her lips.
His movements were slow, gently brushing his lips across hers.
It feels itchy and numb.
"I'm smart? I remember your gang said I was stupid and wicked, that I was vicious, that I wasn't even as good as Tang Wenya's little finger, and that I seduced Xiao Tingshen, that I was shameless." Xu Qingning looked at the grain of rice on his finger and laughed, her smile teasing. "What, I've been following you for a few days and suddenly I've become smarter?"
Zhao Jingyu wanted to flirt with her, but he couldn't do it with just words.
She's not the same Xu Qingning as before.
“They’re blind.” Zhao Jingyu betrayed his brothers without hesitation. “If they ever dare to say a bad word about you again, I won’t let them off.”
"Okay, let's see how you do." Xu Qingning smiled.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door.
It interrupted their romantic moment.
Xiao Tingshen and Tang Wenya walked in side by side, both carrying schoolbags and looking very innocent.
Seeing Zhao Jingyu and Xu Qingning eating, Xiao Tingshen naturally stepped forward to greet them: "What a coincidence, you're here too!"
“It’s quite a coincidence.” Zhao Jingyu’s expression instantly changed. He glanced at Xu Qingning, leaned forward, and whispered in her ear, “If you still dare to like Xiao Tingshen, I won’t let you off the hook, not even if you beg for mercy…”
Xu Qingning smiled without saying a word.
Why is his mind filled with that color...?
Xiao Tingshen politely nodded to Xu Qingning as a greeting. He put down his schoolbag, took out an aluminum lunchbox from it, and went to the window to get his food.
"Qingning, Mom and Dad came looking for you earlier, saying you weren't home. Oh, so you're here!" Tang Wenya didn't hear what Zhao Jingyu said. She sat down and said gently, "They've missed you a lot these past few days. Why don't you go back and stay for a few days?"
"Miss me?" Xu Qingning sneered. "Tang Wenya, stop with your crocodile tears and fake compassion. What are you pretending to be, a good person?"
That home no longer belongs to her; why would she go back?
Are you watching those two, mother and daughter, act?
Or was he taught a lesson by Xu Jianguo, a man who doesn't deserve to be a father?
"Qingning, I know we had some misunderstandings before..." Tang Wenya was always poised and understanding in front of outsiders. "We are sisters after all. What's past is past. From now on, we should still get along well."
Xiao Tingshen once asked her if it was because of him that she and Xu Qingning couldn't get along.
To prove she wasn't a petty person, Tang Wenya deliberately tried to get closer to Xu Qingning in front of Xiao Tingshen.
"Tang Wenya, don't act innocent after getting the benefit. If you want to get along with me, you won't sow discord in my family and try to drive a wedge between me and my two sisters-in-law."
Xu Qingning was just about to settle scores with her when she delivered herself right to her doorstep, and couldn't help but raise her voice, "You're the one who told me I was pregnant, right? And you're the one who told them I had gold jewelry, right?"
"Qingning, what are you saying?" Tang Wenya didn't expect Xu Qingning to openly talk about her pregnancy in public, but she still lowered her voice and said, "Many people know you're pregnant. Why do you say it was me who told you? How would I know if you have gold jewelry?"
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't admit it. You're all talk and no action." Xu Qingning wasn't really angry; she just wanted to annoy Tang Wenya. "It was your system that told you, wasn't it?"
"How do you know about the system?" Tang Wenya was taken aback. She had noticed something was wrong with Xu Qingning a long time ago. Could it be that Xu Qingning also had a system?
The system screamed: "Host, don't believe her, she doesn't have a system."
"Why can't I know?" Xu Qingning deliberately kept everyone in suspense. "What you have, I also have."
System: "No, she's lying. Only the female lead in this book has a system. Xu Qingning is just an unknown supporting female character. She really doesn't have one."
"Qingning, can we have a proper talk?" Tang Wenya thought the system was too noisy, so she immediately blocked it.
Since Xu Qingning also knows that this world is the world in the book, then they need to join forces and advance together.
After all, her system was like a chicken rib, not very useful.
"No." Xu Qingning refused directly, saying frankly, "Tang Wenya, you and your system are like rats hiding in a corner, spying on other people's lives. Don't you think that's disgusting? Of course, if you enjoy it, I'll play along to the end."
Tang Wenya: "..."
Zhao Jingyu looked at the two of them suspiciously.
What are they talking about? What system?
"Dinner's ready." Xiao Tingshen walked over with a lunchbox. He had also bought pork ribs and rice, and even bought Tang Wenya an extra bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
"Thank you!" Tang Wenya's face immediately lit up with a smile. She took out a rag from her bag and wiped the table and chairs next to her again and again with elegant and composed movements. "Sit down and eat quickly."
"Hey, you're living a good life!" Zhao Jingyu looked at their food and joked, "You two are busy studying during the day and exercising at night, so you need to make the most of yourselves."
Tang Wenya bit her chopsticks, her ears turning red.
She knew that Zhao Jingyu was the kind of person who could never say anything nice.
Xu Qingning ate and drank her fill, then watched coldly from the sidelines.
Actually, it's quite satisfying to be a villainous supporting character. The female lead is the one who suffers for the sake of saving face. If someone else said that to her, she would definitely talk back.
However, Tang Wenya had to maintain her public image, so she could only pretend to be magnanimous and let it pass with a smile.
"Jingyu, I heard you're leaving tomorrow?" Xiao Tingshen knew Zhao Jingyu well and didn't care. He smiled and handed the chopsticks to Tang Wenya: "When will you be back next time?"
"When it's time to come back, I will." Zhao Jingyu reached out and picked up a strand of Xu Qingning's long hair, playing with it in his hand. "Now that I have a wife, I don't really want to go on a long trip. Why don't you go in my place?"
"You're just joking." Xiao Tingshen picked up his chopsticks, placed a piece of pork rib in front of Tang Wenya, and smiled slightly. "Your job is very challenging and highly technical. I can't do it. We wish you all the best and hope you get promoted."
"Thank you!" Zhao Jingyu suddenly felt that Xiao Tingshen was very hypocritical and lost interest in talking to him. He said lightly, "After I leave, you and Tang Wenya should stay away from my wife. She is pregnant. If she sees you two and it affects the baby, the consequences will be more than you can bear."
Xiao Tingshen and Tang Wenya looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is he a mad dog? He bites without warning?
