Throughout the entire dinner, Mu Xiaocheng kept her head down, not daring to look at Ji Huaishen sitting opposite her.
She suddenly realized she was being pretentious.
Isn't she supposed to be very thick-skinned?
How did it become so thin after that?
This doesn't fit her public image.
Mu Xiaocheng coughed lightly, still lacking the courage to look at the man opposite her. She could only pick up a piece of braised pork rib in front of her and slowly eat it.
Ji Huaishen frowned when he saw her unusual behavior.
She didn't look at him once from the start of the meal.
Moreover, he only ate the dish in front of him, taking only a few bites.
Is she that afraid of him?
His deep eyes darkened, and his thin lips parted slightly, breaking the silence.
"After we finish eating, I'll take you somewhere."
"oh."
Mu Xiaocheng nodded in agreement, her voice soft.
At that moment, she despised herself.
Mu Xiaocheng, why have you become so timid!
Cheer up!
Even if the person on the other end is someone you like, you can't be a coward!
Thinking of this, she finally raised her head and looked at him: "Where are we going?"
Ji Huaishen secretly breathed a sigh of relief; finally, someone spoke to him.
His dark eyes were fixed on her, making Mu Xiaocheng, who had finally managed to let go of her psychological burden, feel somewhat at a loss.
She gripped her chopsticks tightly and then slowly poked at the white rice in the bowl.
Ji Huaishen naturally noticed her subtle movements and frowned: "Are you nervous?"
"No."
Mu Xiaocheng answered almost without hesitation.
What a joke! How could she possibly be nervous!
Is she that kind of person?
Ji Huaishen raised his eyebrows with a dashing air, his eyes filled with a smile.
He lowered his eyes and placed a piece of boiled pork on her plate: "I thought you were shy."
His voice was deep and pleasant, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood.
Hearing him say that, Mu Xiaocheng's face flushed red again.
To prove she wasn't shy, she unceremoniously picked up the meat from her bowl and ate it with relish.
Chewing with its cheeks puffed out, it looked just like a cute little squirrel.
Ji Huaishen curled his lips and raised his eyebrows: "I want to eat ribs."
His meaning was clear: he wanted Mu Xiaocheng to pick up a piece of braised pork rib for him.
Mu Xiaocheng looked at the dishes in front of her, then at Ji Huaishen's arm.
With such a short distance, how could he not reach it?
Is being 1.8 meters tall just for show?
Mu Xiaocheng took a deep breath. Oh well, she decided not to hold it against him since he had cooked for her.
She gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of pork rib from in front of her, and threw it into his bowl.
Look, this distance is easily covered by her short arms, how could he possibly not reach it!
All you do is pretend!
Thinking about it, Mu Xiaocheng glared at him: "Next time, pick it up yourself."
She didn't want to be led by him like this; men shouldn't be spoiled.
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes, staring at the ribs in the bowl, his smile widening.
Although she could tell he was doing it on purpose, she still helped him put the food in his bowl.
This small gesture, however, made him feel very satisfied.
I'm very happy.
After what just happened, Mu Xiaocheng was no longer so reserved.
She was quite full after the meal.
Ji Huaishen went back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, while Mu Xiaocheng slumped on the sofa to digest her food, her gaze occasionally glancing towards the kitchen.
She felt that her life with Ji Huaishen was very ordinary now.
Just like an old married couple.
If things continue like this in the future, she seems to be looking forward to it.
