She muttered to herself: This guy, is he born in the Year of the Donkey? He's having such a hard time giving me a bun! Could it be that I put a knockout drug in this bun? What the hell!
Zhou Si shuddered in fear, nearly dropping the bun in his hand. He cautiously glanced up at Chen Xiaoru, and seeing that she looked annoyed but not about to explode, he felt a little relieved.
He looked down at the plump, white bun in his hand, steaming hot and emitting an alluring aroma. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. How long had it been since he had eaten something this good? It had been so long that he couldn't even remember. In his memory, it seemed that only during the Chinese New Year could he enjoy a little bit of minced meat, and the taste had long since faded.
He took a small bite carefully. The soft dough had a slightly sweet taste, and inside was delicious meat filling. The juice overflowed as he bit it, and the aroma instantly filled his entire mouth.
This smell… Zhou Si's eyes instantly reddened, and he bit his lip hard to hold back the tears. How long had it been? Ever since he was sold to the Chen family, he'd been eating scraps every day. Sometimes, there wasn't even any leftovers, and he had to work on an empty stomach. The smell of this bun was like a flash of lightning, splitting the floodgates of his memory, reminding him of his time at home. Although they were poor, he was still the treasure of his parents.
Chen Xiaoru caught a glimpse of Zhou Si's appearance and sighed softly. This kid is really pitiful. However, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. The original owner treated him so badly before, so he deserves what he is doing now!
"Dad, don't go anywhere for the time being. Just stay home." Chen Xiaoru slurred her porridge, her mouth full, and said incoherently, "We need to repair the roof of our house. If we don't, it will collapse if there is a heavy snowfall!"
When Chen Laizi heard this, he quickly put down the bun in his hand and nodded repeatedly: "Hey, my daughter is right! I will find someone to fix it in the next few days and make sure it is very solid!" He was still thinking happily in his heart: My daughter is really concerned about me! It seems that the money was not wasted!
Chen's mother also agreed: "It needs to be repaired, otherwise it will leak in the winter and it will be a pain."
Zhou Si silently ate his buns, his heart churning with emotions. Chen Xiaoru had suddenly been so kind to him, letting him eat buns, and now she was concerned about the house... Was this the calm before the storm? What more horrific method had she come up with to torture him?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The bun in his hand suddenly lost its flavor. He raised his eyes cautiously, hoping to see some clues on Chen Xiaoru's face, but he only saw her eating with her head down.
