Chapter 146 "What did you just say, Guaiguai? Brother didn't hear it clearly."
Dinner started in a subtle and sweet atmosphere.
Exquisite dishes were placed on the table, and the aroma was fragrant, but Wen Duo's mind was not on the food at all.
She ate the rice in her bowl with small sips, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at the man opposite her who was calm and composed with a smile on his lips.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Huaishen picked up a piece of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her bowl.
Wen Duo stared at the tempting piece of ribs, hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't hold back the curiosity and a little bit of unwillingness in her heart, muttering softly:
"I was wondering...why did you suddenly ask me to call you brother..."
After the words were spoken, the air was silent for a few seconds.
The expected explanation did not come.
Wen Duo raised her eyes in confusion, and happened to meet Ji Huaishen's smiling eyes.
He slowly put down his chopsticks, leaned forward slightly, rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers and rested them on his chin, looking at her with an extremely focused and slightly playful look.
"Before speaking,"
He reminded, his tone drawn out, with unquestionable guidance:
"Call me brother. Otherwise, how would I know who my dear is talking to?"
Wen Duo: “!!!”
The blush on her cheeks, which had just faded away, suddenly reappeared in full force, even more intensely.
The tips of her fingers holding the chopsticks turned slightly white with embarrassment.
This, this person is too greedy!
I knew I was talking to him!
She held her breath, pursed her pink lips again and again, and stared at him with her round almond-shaped eyes, which were full of accusations of "You are simply unreasonable."
Ji Huaishen didn't urge her, but just looked at her with a smile, as if he had infinite patience waiting for his little bird to obey.
He even gestured with his eyes at the piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in her bowl, as if to say, "You can only eat properly if you call me brother."
The warm indoor lighting made his outline appear particularly gentle and...
bad!
In the end, Wen Duo was defeated.
She quickly lowered her eyes, staring at the innocent piece of pork ribs in the bowl, and muttered vaguely and quickly in a voice as thin as a mosquito, almost dispersing in the air:
"......elder brother."
"Um?"
Ji Huaishen deliberately tilted his head, pretending not to hear clearly:
"What did you just say, Guaiguai? Brother didn't hear it clearly."
Wen Duo took a deep breath and felt that she was almost cooked.
She closed her eyes and raised her voice a little, as if she had given up. But her voice was still soft and sticky, with a clear tremor of shyness:
"Brother! Why...why did you suddenly ask me to call you brother?"
After finally asking the question in full and with a title, Wen Duo wanted to bury her face in the bowl.
The smile of success in Ji Huaishen's eyes was almost overflowing.
He looked at her red ears with satisfaction, then slowly picked up his chopsticks again, picked up another piece of vegetables for her, and said with a smile, two words that made her even more suffocated:
"you guess."
Wen Duo: “….”
She just knew it!
This bad guy!
Big pervert!
He was simply teasing her for fun!
"Bad guy!"
She couldn't help but raise her head and glared at him fiercely.
Ji Huaishen laughed softly, his chest vibrating, and it was obvious that he was in an extremely good mood.
He did not refute, nor did he continue to force her, but just stared at her with a smile in his deep eyes, as if he could never see enough.
Wen Duo poked the rice in her bowl angrily. The slight guilt in her heart had long been squeezed out by the thought that "Ji Huaishen is a bad guy".
But despite her anger, he interrupted her and she actually started to think seriously.
Why is it “brother”?
With his strong and overbearing personality, shouldn't he prefer a more direct and possessive name?
For example...husband?
Of course, as soon as this thought came up, Wen Duo himself slapped it away.
This would be a hundred times more embarrassing than calling him brother!
So why did he do that?
Is it because it sounds more intimate?
Or is it because he actually...kind of likes this kind of taboo tone?
After all, she had seen that pseudo-orthopedics was very popular.
And Ji Huaishen is also very perverted, so it makes sense to think so.
She doesn't understand.
Wen Duo chewed the food in small bites, but it tasted like wax, and her mind was in a state of confusion.
She stole a glance at the man opposite her.
He was dining in an elegant manner. The light fell on his thick eyelashes, casting a small, gentle shadow. The profile of his face was incredibly perfect.
At this moment, he restrained his previous playfulness and dominance, and seemed particularly gentle and homely.
But Wenduo knew that this was definitely an illusion!
He is a pervert!
Thinking that he would have to continue facing this embarrassing "challenge" for the next ten hours, Wen Duo still felt his scalp tingling, and his cheeks, which had just cooled down, began to burn again.
They are not real siblings, so how can they keep calling each other like that?
Even Jiang Zuiyue and Jiang Chenyang didn't...
etc!
Wen Duo's eyes suddenly widened, and she thought of the time when they were playing games together and Jiang Zuiyue coaxed Jiang Chenyang to make a full banquet, and she really called him brother sweetly.
Could it be...?
"So...you are jealous of Jiang Chenyang?!" Wen Duo looked at Ji Huaishen in disbelief.
Ji Huaishen just lowered his head and ate silently without answering.
Wen Duo gritted her teeth and finally shouted softly:
"Brother, answer me..."
Ji Huaishen then raised his head, with a smile in his eyes, and asked:
"Hmm? Your question..."
In Wen Duo's expectant eyes, Ji Huaishen smiled slightly:
"This isn't jealousy, it's that I'll never be worse than anyone else."
Wen Duo: “…”
This guy!
