"Do not speak while eating, do not talk while sleeping."
This quote comes from the Analects of Confucius, Book 16, "Xiangdang".
It is said that Confucius himself said this.
Some people say it means:
Do not talk or make noise while eating.
Go to bed on time when it's time to sleep, and don't make noise to disturb others.
The latter is manageable, but most people can't do the former.
Drinking culture is a typical example.
Many people still talk even when socializing.
If we really did "not talk while eating," this deal might not have been closed.
There are also various gatherings.
If one truly "does not speak while eating," the atmosphere won't be lively.
As long as it doesn't bother others, it's fine.
For example, avoid situations where you're eating and then spray food everywhere while talking.
Therefore, Guangyou felt that translating "食不语" as "Don't talk while chewing food" would be better.
If it were truly impossible for him to talk while eating, he would never be able to do it.
This was just a very ordinary family dinner.
There were no outsiders.
That's why he never stopped talking.
Besides the main topic of eating, he brought up many other topics and chatted with the two sisters.
The two sisters share the same mother.
However, due to different experiences, they have different personalities.
His older sister, Akemi, often agreed with what he said.
The younger sister, Shiho, mostly listened attentively to the two of them talking.
They would only exchange a few words occasionally.
Guangyou, of course, wouldn't bring up any serious topics.
These are all interesting stories I've heard or seen before.
This was how it always was when the three of us ate together; we've told many funny stories about it.
With so many people on Earth, it's no surprise that some bizarre things happen.
Besides these things, there is much more to say.
For example, the local customs and traditions of various regions in China, as well as their distinctive cuisines.
He was familiar with this.
The vivid description prompted Akemi to exclaim:
"Once all this is over, I want to travel to China."
Guangyou smiled and nodded in agreement:
"I'll be your tour guide then."
"It just so happens that Ai and I also have plans to go to China."
His trip to China cannot be described as tourism; it should be described as going home.
Besides going home to visit his family, he also wants to buy several houses.
It's not that I want to speculate on real estate; I just want to live in it myself.
Once everything is over and the distillery is settled, he'll probably take Ai back to China often.
Having a fixed place to stay would certainly be more convenient.
At that time, houses were still relatively cheap, so buying a few shouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, Alibaba had not yet been established at that time.
He might even be able to find a certain horse and invest some money in it.
It would be great to receive some dividends then.
...
The three finished their dinner while chatting.
Dinner was prepared by Akemi, so Kōyū took over the cleanup.
This time, he didn't let Ai help him pack; instead, he let her chat with Akemi.
The reason I came to see Mingmei was to let the two sisters get together.
Mingmei often gave him and Xiao Aiting space to be alone.
It made it seem like he brought Ai to see Akemi this time just to show off their love in front of Akemi.
That won't do!
In the kitchen, Guangyou hummed a tune as he tidied up.
In the living room, the two sisters whispered secrets to each other, or talked about the relationship between Mitsuyu and Ai.
There are so many stories between Ai and Kōyū that Ai isn't worried about running out of things to say.
Even without mentioning Mei, everyone knows about Girls' Day, and there's also the Ferris wheel and the date we had that day that I can talk about.
After tidying up the kitchen, I rested for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Guangyou went to take a shower first.
When Ai arrived, he began discussing serious matters with Akemi:
"Sis, have you made up your mind yet?"
"Not yet." Mingmei shook her head, not hiding anything.
She had thought about this during the day when she was shopping with Ai.
But it felt like there were two little people inside me.
A tiny angel fluttered its pure white wings and flew around her.
She is saying:
"You've been waiting for him for two years."
"Now that I finally get to see him, of course I want it to be simple."
Another horned, devil-like little man was also flapping his wings.
It's just black.
She quickly pushed the little angel aside and said:
"He took advantage of you."
"Perhaps from his perspective, there's nothing wrong with that."
"But for someone like you who has fallen for him, this is very heartbreaking!"
"He actually came to like you later on."
"However, we should also teach him a lesson."
"It's his own fault for lying to you in the first place."
The angel figure retorted to the devil figure from the side:
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
"Because of my special status at the time."
"As you said yourself, from his perspective, there's nothing wrong with what he did."
"How can we put all the blame on him?"
The little devil knocked the little angel away again, saying:
"Girls should always have some special privileges."
"From his perspective, he wasn't wrong, but his actions almost killed you and almost killed your sister!"
"If it weren't for Guangyou, would you still be able to eat with your sister now and watch her find the right partner?"
"Not to mention future weddings."
The two little people argued in their minds for a long time, but they couldn't reach a conclusion.
then...
She still hasn't made a decision.
