Chapter 109 feels wrong
On the way back to their lodgings, apart from Chen Le, Pei Xiu, and Zhou Hang talking about the base, no one else spoke.
After arriving at his residence downstairs, he said goodbye to Xia Qianqian and her group and was about to leave when Xia Qianqian called out to Shen Nianshen again.
"Brother Nian Shen, I have something I'd like to say to you privately, is that alright?"
Shen Nian glanced at Ling Ran and the others who went upstairs without turning back, then said to Pei Yi and the others who had turned back, "You guys go up first, I'll come back after I finish speaking."
"Um."
Pei Yi glanced at Xia Qianqian, then turned and left.
Su Yimo looked at Shen Nianshen and, for some reason, felt like saying something. Just then, a voice called out to her from behind: "Emo."
"My lord has arrived!"
Su Yimo responded and quickly turned around to follow Ling Ran.
Shen Nianshen walked to Xia Qianqian's side, followed her to a corner, and asked, "Qianqian, what do you want to see me about?"
"Brother Nian Shen, are you now in a team with Ling Ran and the others?"
"I guess so, what's wrong?"
“I…” Xia Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, looking somewhat disappointed, and said, “I originally wanted to invite you to join our team.”
Shen Nian Shen politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to leave my current team."
Whether out of friendship or self-interest, he cannot leave his current team.
Seeing Xia Qianqian looking down and dejected, he invited, "Why don't you join our team? I can ask the adults for you."
"Why...why do you call her 'sir'?"
Mentioning this, the scene from that night involuntarily comes to mind, a scene that will always be shocking to me whenever I think of it.
"Because she is very strong."
Calling Ling Ran "Lord Ling Ran" is partly due to following the crowd, but more so because Shen Nian Shen is truly convinced of Ling Ran's power.
Besides, he's eating and drinking at other people's expense now, so what's wrong with him calling them "sir" to show respect?
Shen Nianshen didn't want to talk about Ling Ran in front of outsiders, so he asked her again, "Do you want to come?"
"never mind."
Xia Qianqian shook her head.
She didn't want to be Ling Ran's dog like everyone else. Instead, she wanted Ling Ran's position.
If she joined Ling Ran's team, she would never be able to become a central figure among her teammates.
Is there anything else?
Sensing the polite distance in Shen Nian's words, Xia Qianqian felt a little dejected: "That's all."
"I'll be going now, see you again sometime."
"goodbye."
Seeing Shen Nianshen leave without hesitation, Xia Qianqian felt a little wronged for some reason. She couldn't explain why, but she felt that Shen Nianshen shouldn't be like this; he should be considerate of her and protect her.
She had this feeling from the very first time she met Shen Nian Shen.
However, this time my intuition was wrong.
...
Shen Nianshen was unaware of Xia Qianqian's thoughts. He hurriedly returned to his residence and saw that Uncle Chen had not yet started cooking, which relieved him.
By this time, Fan Chuan and the others had finished cleaning up, and Ling Ran was thinking about what delicious food she would make for him.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Pei Yi and the others and said, "Each of you should order one dish and let Xiao Chen cook it."
Uncle Chen is a five-star chef, specializing in Vietnamese and Sichuan cuisine. He also knows a little about other cuisines, as well as pastries and cakes, but he is not as proficient as those two.
As for Ling Ran calling Uncle Chen "Little Chen," no one thought it was a big deal.
Hearing that the adults had given them the power to order, everyone was a little excited. Chen Le quickly said, "I want braised pork!"
"I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
"I want to eat braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens."
Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang followed suit.
Shen Nianshen guessed that it would be time to order food, and at this moment he said what he had already decided to eat: "I'll order twice-cooked pork."
