When all the fragrant dishes were served, Chu Jiangning, just as Xi Ran had said, had stars in her eyes and couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Chu Jiangyi.
They stopped arguing and started eating with their chopsticks.
This scene immediately amused Xi Yan.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone who was arguing vehemently with Brother Jiang, refusing to back down an inch, and then suddenly staring at the dishes with shining eyes, as if nothing had happened.
How did this mood change?
Chu Jiangyi and Xi Ran were already used to it, but Xi Yan found it particularly novel since it was his first time seeing it.
Xi Ran nudged Xi Yan's arm. "See? Nothing matters more than eating. You need to learn from his open-mindedness. Don't keep everything bottled up inside. Negative emotions are like balloons; if you fill them too much, they'll burst, understand?"
Xi Yan looked helpless. "Sister! Don't worry, I will open my heart and make more friends in the future. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask Ningning for help. We added each other as friends and she also noticed that I looked worried. She kept teaching me how to vent my negative emotions."
"That's good. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask our little sun. She has a lot of clever ideas."
"Okay! Shall we start eating? Ningning has already finished a bowl of rice."
Everyone smiled slightly, suddenly their appetites were whetted, and they quietly enjoyed the food.
Xi Yan wasn't hungry to begin with, and he didn't usually eat much. But for some reason, seeing Chu Jiangning eat with such a good appetite made the food taste better. It turns out that eating with someone who has a good appetite can also make your own appetite better.
With Chu Jiangning joining the meal, everyone's appetite improved considerably. Chu Jiangning thought the sauerkraut fish at this restaurant was quite good, and ostensibly said she would pack some to take home for her parents to try. In reality, she hadn't had enough yet, but her stomach was simply too full.
Chu Jiang didn't expose her either. After all, they had grown up together since childhood, and he could guess what this girl was up to from just a few gestures.
"When you take a taxi back later, be careful not to get anyone's car dirty, okay?"
"Okay, okay, you're so annoying! I have this much common sense, so stop nagging me. I'll carry the sauerkraut fish the whole way home, is that alright?"
Xi Yan seemed to have thought of something and asked the waiter to put out heat-insulating patches to prevent the little girl from getting burned.
Chu Jiangning stared blankly at Xi Yan, thinking to herself, "So thoughtful. Whoever becomes this handsome guy's girlfriend must be so lucky. What a considerate guy, he's practically a god-like man."
"Look! Look! This is what a big brother should be like, unlike someone who just bullies me all day long."
Chu Jiangyi looked at his sister, who was putting on a great show of acting, with disdain. "Who's bullying whom here? You've been riding on my head since I was little, and Mom and Dad have always been on your side. Who's more pitiful than me? I don't need to say it, do I?"
Chu Jiangning scratched her head. It seemed that things were really as her brother said. She had been pampered by everyone since she was a child.
She never lacked love; in fact, her brother treated her quite well. It's just that for some reason, the two of them have been arguing since they were little, and they're more anxious than anyone else when they hear that something has happened to the other.
Just like last time, when she was bullied by older girls, she didn't hesitate to get justice for her.
She initially thought her brother would punish her, but to her surprise, he stood up for her.
She was quite touched at the time.
So this is what family is like. She always seems so annoying to me, but when someone bullies her, the first person to stand up for her is actually her brother.
The brother's exact words were, "You're my sister, only I can bully you, no one else can."
"I'll be going now if there's nothing else. The pickled fish tastes best when it's hot. I'll take some home for my parents to have as an extra meal. Goodbye!"
Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something. She winked at Chu Jiangyi, "Remember to call me next time there's something like this, my nemesis brother."
