Chapter 753 Is this the competition?

As an unwelcome guest, Wan Jiang pushed his own son, Zhong Shao, to occupy the seat to the left of Qiao Xi.

And Huo Xingzhou sat on her right.

The two sides are very sharp and confrontational.

Qiao Xi was suddenly held on the left and right by Huo Xingzhou and Zhong Yi.

She was stunned for a moment and said, "It might be a bit crowded to sit like this."

Usually she and Huo Xingzhou would sit alone on one side, and others would never occupy the seat next to her. They would sit opposite her or in front of or behind her with great courtesy.

This is a long table.

"Oh, Master Zhong!"

Sun Weimeng was very perceptive and pushed Wan Jiang away. He pushed Zhong Yi's wheelchair and pushed him directly to the seat farthest away from Qiao Xi.

"Mr. Zhong, everyone has their own seat when we eat at our house. If we suddenly change seats, we won't be able to eat if we're not used to it. This is your first time to eat at our Huo's house, so I'm afraid you don't know our habits. Please sit here. This is where guests usually sit."

Sun Weimeng’s words were very clear: you are a guest and we are family.

Although he enjoyed watching the excitement, he couldn't bear to see Huo Xingzhou getting angry for no reason.

This is his boss!

Zhong Yi sat in a wheelchair, her eyes like knives falling on Sun Weimeng.

Sun Weimeng, this tough guy, is not afraid at all.

He even smiled at Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi rolled her eyes and said, "I don't like sitting so far away. I don't feel like a family with you guys."

In the end, he relied on his thick skin to sit opposite Qiao Xi.

All the dishes have been served.

No one started eating first.

Qiao Xi tugged at the corner of Huo Xingzhou's clothes under the table, hoping that he would not bother with a patient. But Huo Xingzhou showed no emotion at all, not even a look of response.

She stood up and poured a bowl of corn and pork ribs soup for Huo Xingzhou, placed it in front of him and said, "This corn is very fresh and tender, and the soup is not greasy. It is most suitable for regulating the stomach. Drink a bowl of soup before dinner."

Huo Xingzhou glanced at the large bowl of vegetable and rice cake soup, picked up the white soup spoon and took a sip.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qiao Xi's lips.

“Xixi.”

Zhong Yi, who was sitting opposite her, looked at her kindly and said, "I'm not feeling well. Could you please give me a bowl of vegetable and rice cake soup?"

"……good."

Sun Weimeng wanted to stand up and take over, but was suppressed by Zhong Yi's fierce look.

He is very careful and jumpy, don't mess with him!

I could only watch Qiao Xi serve Zhong Yi a small bowl of vegetable and rice cake soup.

Sun Weimeng licked his lips and said, "I want to eat too!"

Qiao Xi smiled and served him a bowl, "Be careful, it's hot."

The vegetable and rice cake soup looked clear and white, the vegetables were cut very finely, and the rice cake was cooked soft and glutinous.

The chopsticks will slip off once you pick them up.

The food looks very light, but it exudes a faint fragrance.

It's a feeling of home.

The taste is not top-notch, but it is warm and refreshing. It seems that the long-dormant taste buds have been awakened.

Zhong Yi took a bite, and the familiar taste brought back a scene from many years ago.

In the past they had no money and their life in the village was simple and hard.

But he missed it all his life.

The vegetables are crispy and tender, and the rice cakes are chewy and soft.

"It's still the same taste, reminding me of the scene when we had dinner together when we were kids. I remember that you didn't like eating vegetables and always liked to ask Grandma Qiao to beat an egg for you." Zhong Yi looked up at Qiao Xi and said slowly.

Talking about the past, Qiao Xi's heart softened a little: "Because I always felt that green leaves had a fishy smell, and I still can't get used to it. But the eggs from the village were more popular with the city people, and my grandmother always saved the eggs and sold them to support my studies."

Therefore, she couldn't eat eggs very often when she was a child.

"Let me tell you a secret now." Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi talked about the past, and no one could intervene in that inexplicable atmosphere.

Their past has nothing to do with others.

Qiao Xi asked doubtfully, "What secret?"

Zhong Yi's eyes were filled with a smile and tenderness: "Actually, it's not that I don't like eggs."

Qiao Xi's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she understood: "Are you leaving the eggs from Master Cheng's house... for me to eat?"

"You were too skinny back then, and I was worried you wouldn't grow up. I gave you a boiled egg every day, which at least gave you some nutrition."

Zhong Yi did a lot of small things for her, but she never talked about them.

When I was young, I was arrogant and didn’t like my mother-in-law.

Sometimes showing affection is awkward, but the feelings of adolescence are the purest, whether it is love or family affection.

It was only after many years that Qiao Xi realized his hidden feelings. She thought, if she hadn't met him again, she would never know these things until she died.

How many little secrets does he hide?

"Ayi..."

Qiao Xi called out, "If you feel lonely eating alone in the future, you can come to us. It will be much more lively if our whole family sits together to eat."

"good."

Zhong Yi responded indifferently and glanced at Huo Xingzhou.

After seeing this, Sun Weimeng couldn't swallow the rice cake in his mouth and choked himself!

This is a provocation!

It must be a provocation!

It was the first time he had seen such vicious and direct jealousy, a showdown between the Haicheng boss and the Imperial Capital boss!

Wonderful!

More exciting than the competition in nightclubs!

"Cough, cough, cough..." Sun Weimeng covered his chest and coughed continuously. Xiaoyuan was considerate and poured him a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Sun Weimeng took a big sip of water before he recovered a little.

But his coughing also wiped out all the warmth he had just shown. He blushed and said, "Everyone, eat, don't look at me! This soup rice cake is so delicious, I ate it too hastily and choked myself. Qiao Xi, you have to make it more often at home in the future."

Qiao Xi smiled, nodded and said okay.

Huo Xingzhou looked at him with displeasure and said, "If you want to eat, you can ask the master chef in Haicheng to cook it. Why bother my wife? She can't be too tired now. She needs to rest. The kitchen is a smoky place. She can't go there often."

Sun Weimeng nodded quickly: "It's all my fault!"

Zhong Yi was biting a piece of rice cake gracefully, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

This is a scolding to him.

He lowered his head and ate, looking a little lonely.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "It's not a big deal. You can tell me what you want to eat. After all, the fact that you're still alive is the biggest surprise for me."

Just cooking a few meals.

She didn't find it hard.

Zhong Yi raised her head, and a sincere smile appeared on her noble and delicate face.

"Okay, I'll come often."

Qiao Xi smiled at him. When she saw Xiaoyuan walking upstairs with the meal tray, she suddenly thought of something.

Qiao Xi said solemnly, "Ayi, I want to tell you something. I hope you won't be too surprised after hearing it."
