"Gentleness is a sin? What does that mean?"
Gu Ximan chewed over these words carefully, but her level of understanding was not good enough to immediately grasp their meaning.
Why is meekness a sin?
How nice it is to be a gentle person.
The stinky old man is very gentle.
"Eat first, fill your stomach first." Luo Shuling turned around and a smile appeared on her face again.
"Hmm...Okay then."
Gu Ximan didn't ask any more questions. Based on these four words, she really couldn't figure out the reason.
Let’s eat first.
So she turned her eyes to the bowl of steaming beef noodles in front of her.
What caught my eye were several thick slices of beef floating in the soup.
The portion is huge, almost the same as a year's worth of ramen at a certain restaurant.
The soup base is rich in color and has a very light beefy smell, which shows that it is made from beef bones that have been carefully boiled for a long time.
The noodles are of uniform thickness and look very chewy, and the side dishes are also rich and varied.
This is undoubtedly a pretty good bowl of noodles.
Gu Ximan was not in a hurry to eat the noodles. She first scooped up a spoonful of the thick soup, pouted her lips, blew on it gently, and then took a small sip tentatively, for fear of being scalded.
The next second, her eyes lit up and she said to Luo Shuling beside her sincerely:
"Wow, it smells so good."
At the same time, I was thinking in my heart - Sister Ling is worthy of being a foodie, she has found such a treasure noodle shop.
"Right, Xiaoman, try the noodles again." Luo Shuling held her cheek with one hand and looked at Gu Ximan with a smile.
It feels so good to take care of my little sister.
How long has it been since I last experienced this feeling?
"good."
Gu Ximan responded, picked up a handful of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it briefly, and then put it into her mouth in a big mouthful.
The noodles have a very chewy and elastic texture.
I should blow it again...
“Ah….Huhu….delicious….so hot….”
She spoke incoherently and hurriedly fanned her mouth with her little hands.
"Eat slowly and be careful."
Seeing her little sister looking so cute and innocent, Luo Shuling smiled, picked up the kettle beside her and poured her half a cup of cold water.
Gu Ximan took the cup, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp before swallowing the food in her mouth.
"Thank you, Sister Ling."
"You're welcome."
As Luo Shuling spoke, she took out a tissue and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.
Gu Ximan blinked and just sat there obediently.
I always feel that Sister Ling is a little strange today.
Sister Ling is usually carefree and carefree, like a little sun that is always full of energy, but today she is as gentle as a mother.
In my vague memory, my mother also wiped my mouth gently in this way.
"Sister Ling...what happened to you today?"
After thinking about it, Gu Ximan finally asked.
He took her out to eat noodles under the pretext of running.
What about "gentleness is a sin"?
Now he was even more gentle and wiped her mouth with his own hands.
"Xiao Man, am I gentle?"
Luo Shuling did not answer Gu Ximan's question directly, but changed the subject and asked her: "Do you think I am very gentle and good to you now?"
"Um... yes..." Gu Ximan nodded.
"If I'm nice to Xiaoman, Xiaoman will also be nice to me, right?" Luo Shuling asked.
"Well, Sister Ling is usually very nice to me. She ran out to buy me snacks on the first night I got home. She would also share half of her food with me. When she ate out, she would also buy me some desserts to bring back. For example, the Snow Meringue we had last time was really sweet!" Gu Ximan said this, paused, and continued with a serious expression:
"I remember all of this. I will treat Sister Ling very well, very well!"
Hearing this, Luo Shuling's mouth corners slowly rose, revealing a relieved smile:
"I know Xiao Man is a good kid. Although she's not in good health and is very sleepy, she's still willing to accompany me for a morning run."
This was the first time the two sisters had a heart-to-heart talk.
They usually eat and drink, and their favorite hobby is to each hold a bag of potato chips, curl up on the sofa, and laugh happily while watching TV.
Gu Ximan couldn't help but feel curious and asked again:
"So... Sister Ling, what exactly do you mean by 'gentleness is a sin'?"
"Eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."
"Um... okay."
Just like that, the two little foodies started to devour the noodles.
While eating, Gu Ximan suddenly seemed to think of something. She raised her head abruptly and looked at Luo Shuling who was eating beside her and asked:
"So, Sister Ling, you're using the excuse of a morning run because you don't want that stinky old man to think you don't want to eat his breakfast?"
"uh-huh."
Luo Shuling didn't speak at first, but just made a slight nasal sound.
After swallowing the noodles in his mouth, he began to explain:
"My brother works so hard to make delicious breakfast for us every day. If we put ourselves in his shoes, we should also respond in our own way."
"Even though my brother wouldn't mind if I told him directly, I don't want him to have even the slightest bit of negative emotion."
"Of course, I really can't live without my brother's cooking now."
Having said this, Luo Shuling glanced in the direction of the kitchen and whispered in a low voice: "I could eat three bowls of this noodle before, but now I guess one bowl is enough."
"There's still a significant gap between what I do and what my brother does."
However, Gu Ximan didn't listen to what she said next. At this moment, all she could think about was: "But I don't want him to have even the slightest bit of negative emotion."
I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
A bit congested.
Seeing Gu Ximan's dazed look, Luo Shuling's eyes were unusually calm.
She didn't say anything more, but just lowered her head silently and continued to eat noodles.
