Chapter 87 Eating 2
After entering the room, Xiao Jin greeted everyone enthusiastically. When he saw Ji Hean, he shouted in surprise, "It's you!"
Ji Hean smiled and nodded.
After everyone was seated, Yuan Lang asked the servant to go downstairs and tell the waiter to serve the dishes.
Soon the empty round table was filled with delicious dishes.
Ji Zheng first gave Ji Hean a bowl of bone soup and asked him to drink it before giving him the sweet rice bowl. He also reminded him, "You can only eat half a bowl, understand?"
His eyes were glued to the sweet bowl. He swallowed his nonexistent saliva and said casually, "Got it."
Seeing this, Ji Zheng pinched the soft flesh on Ji Hean's waist lightly in anger and amusement where no one else could see.
"Hey, you like to eat this too." Xiao Jin suddenly came up and said. Ji Hean was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "It's sweet and delicious."
Xiao Jin's eyes lit up immediately after finding a common hobby. She raised the bowl of ice in her hand and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, yeah, I think it's delicious too!"
The two of them put their heads very close to each other, almost within kissing distance if they turned their heads. This scene made Ji Zheng immediately unhappy.
But before he could make a move, he saw Xiao Jin's head tilted back and was pulled back by the collar.
"Xiao Jin, why are you getting so close to me!" Le Heng said with a fake smile and gritted teeth, obviously jealous.
But Xiao Jin was even more blunt than Ji and An. He struggled away from Le Heng's hand and said with a pout, "Why do you care about me?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hands to tidy up his clothes and added, "Don't mess with my clothes next time, or I'll get angry."
Hearing this, Le Heng was furious. Seeing that the person wanted to approach again, he directly grabbed Xiao Jin's hand and held him to his side.
Being held in public, Xiao Jin was startled for a moment, then looked at the others guiltily. Seeing that they had no reaction, she heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a feeling sweeter than a bowl of sweets surged into her heart.
In fact, Ji Hean saw it, but he was used to Ji Zheng holding his hand, so he didn't think it was a big deal and instead thought it was very normal.
Listening to Ji Zheng and the others talking about some business matters that he couldn't understand, Ji Hean was bored and dazed while eating.
Suddenly a hand reached out and took away the remaining half bowl of sweet rice.
Following the hand, I saw Ji Zheng, who was talking seriously to Yuan Lang.
Ji Hean hadn't eaten enough yet, so he wrinkled his nose, rolled his eyes, and quietly reached out for the sweet bowl that Ji Zheng had just taken from his left hand.
Just when he was about to get it, his hand was suddenly grabbed, and then Ji Zheng's playful voice rang in his ear, "Hey, baby, what are you doing with your hand?"
With a big smile on his face, he called out "Baby" in front of everyone.
Everyone at the table froze visibly, especially Yuan Lang, whose eyes widened a little. He looked at Ji Zheng with a hint of surprise. Seeing Ji Zheng's shameless look, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Ji Hean's ears turned red. He wanted to take his hand back, but Ji Zheng held it tightly and he could not move at all.
I could only lower my head with red ears.
Ji Zheng, on the other hand, looked calm and composed. He held Ji Hean's hand with his left hand, picked up the chopsticks with his right hand and said to everyone, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at us?"
Several people immediately came back to their senses and retracted their gazes. Yuan Lang coughed dryly and praised, "Brother Ji and Master Ji have a really good relationship."
After saying that, his eyes inadvertently swept over Lin Yu. Lin Yu was still gentle and polite, and a trace of bitterness arose in his heart.
Xiao Jin standing next to him also looked at Ji He'an with envy. Although he knew last time that Ji Zheng was very good to Ji He'an, it was another matter to see it with his own eyes.
From the moment the dishes were served, he noticed that although Ji Zheng was chatting with others, he kept glancing at Ji Hean from time to time with his peripheral vision. Once he saw Ji Hean's eyes lingering on a dish for a while, that dish would appear in Ji Hean's bowl the next second.
But before he could watch for long, he heard a soft and awkward voice, "baby".
As if realizing something, Xiao Jin turned around suddenly.
With his eyes wandering and his ears red, Le Heng seemed to be hiding something and said in a bad tone, "What is there to be envious of? You, you have it too."
Xiao Jin burst out laughing, and stared at Le Heng's red ears with her crescent-shaped eyes.
The frank look and laughter immediately touched Le Heng's shame. He glared at Xiao Jin, picked up a piece of pork ribs with the serving chopsticks and threw it into Xiao Jin's bowl, and said dryly, "Still laughing, eat!"
Naturally, their interaction was also seen by others.
Ji Zheng and Ji Hean didn't care and didn't think it was a big deal.
But the other two were different.
Yan Yu had a paralyzed face, his eyes secretly scanning the faces of the people present, and he regretted very much why he agreed to come to the dinner. Thinking of the person in his heart, a feeling of sadness and bitterness spread from his heart to the tip of his tongue.
Yuan Lang looked at Ji Zheng enviously, then looked at Le Heng enviously, and finally moved his gaze to Lin Yu beside him.
After hesitating for a long time, he picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into Lin Yu's bowl, "You eat."
The words he spoke sounded so harsh that if you didn't know better you would think someone forced him to eat this dish. His complete unhappiness was evident in those two short words.
Then Lin Yu's hand holding the chopsticks froze noticeably, and he said lightly, "Thank you."
Very polite, yet distant.
Seeing this, Yuan Lang's eyes dimmed, and he retracted his gaze and said dryly, "You're welcome."
Ji Zheng was speechless after seeing this scene. He finally understood what the problem between these two people was.
Thinking that Yuan Lang was a good guy, Ji Zheng decided to help him and said, "Brother Huailin, can I have a word with you?"
Suppressing the depression in his heart, Yuan Lang stood up and said, "Of course you can."
"Baby, do you want to come with us?" Ji Zheng asked in a low voice in Ji Hean's ear.
Ji Hean thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, I'll wait for you to come back."
Ji Zheng touched his head, stood up and followed Yuan Lang out.
After coming outside and controlling the volume so that they couldn't hear, Yuan Lang asked, "Brother Ji, what do you want to tell me?"
"Brother Huailin, please allow me to say a few words. I think I know where the problem between you and your husband lies."
Yuan Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was so excited that he ignored etiquette and grabbed Ji Zheng's arm and said sincerely, "Please tell me, Brother Ji."
Pulling his arm away, Ji Zheng consoled him, "Brother Huailin, don't get excited yet."
Yuan Lang realized that he was being rude and said, "I'm sorry."
Ji Zheng waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, and said in a low voice: "The problem lies in the way and tone of your words, Brother Huailin."
"Where did this come from?" Yuan Lang asked.
"Brother Huailin, the tone you used when speaking to Master Lin was very..." Ji Zheng paused, then found a suitable word and said, "very stiff."
"Hmm?" Yuan Lang frowned, as if puzzled. "Brother Ji, can you explain it more clearly?"
Ji Zheng discovered that Yuan Lang was even more dumb when it came to emotions.
Ji Zheng continued patiently, "To be frank, when Brother Huailin spoke to Master Lin, it was not like he was talking to his own husband, but more like he was talking to an enemy."
Seeing Yuan Lang looking thoughtful, Ji Zheng suppressed his impatience and said, "Brother Huailin, do you understand?"
"I seem to understand a little bit." Yuan Lang said, and then he sighed as if he had encountered a problem: "But I get nervous when I talk to him, and when I get nervous, I say things that don't match my heart. What should I do?"
“….”
Then you should stay single, Ji Zheng complained in his heart.
"Maybe you can just talk it out." Ji Zheng consoled him, "You two live under the same roof anyway, there will always be a day when you can talk it out."
After saying that, Ji Zheng realized that he had forgotten something. It seemed that people in this dynasty also had three wives and four concubines. If Yuan Lang also had this, it would be no wonder that Lin Yu had no feelings for him.
"Excuse me, does Brother Huailin have any other concubines?"
Yuan Lang was surprised for a moment, shaking his head, and said, "I had a fiancée before, but she died of illness before she got married. Later...yes, I fell in love with her, and I didn't have any other thoughts."
Ji Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. "That is to say, he is your only partner at the moment?"
Yuan Lang nodded. "Although he is my concubine, he is the only one."
Side room? What's going on here?
Seeing the puzzlement on Ji Zheng's face, Yuan Lang explained, "My deceased fiancée was his cousin. My family had already given her a betrothal gift, but she died suddenly, so his family married her off. Since she had two children, she became a concubine."
Uh... a body double? Ji Zheng covered his face, not knowing what to say.
"Your relationship is really messy." Ji Zheng finally said this.
Yuan Lang was not annoyed by what he said.
"How is your relationship with your ex-fiancee?" Ji Zheng asked again.
If the relationship was good, it would not be Lin Yu's fault that he could not develop feelings for him.
Yuan Lang continued to shake his head, "We had never met at that time, so how could there be any feelings? I was able to get engaged to her because of my parents' wishes."
After hearing this, Ji Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand on Yuan Lang's shoulder. "In that case, just talk it out with him. Just pay more attention to your tone of voice in the future."
Yuan Lang nodded in acceptance.
The two of them had been out for a short time, so Ji Zheng said, "Then let's go in."
When they returned to the room, they saw Lin Yu talking to Ji and An Zheng about something, and they both had happy smiles on their faces.
