Chapter 515: The barriers are eliminated. A warm yellow chandelier hangs above the dining table, illuminating the dishes and making them look shiny and attractive.
Everyone has a different expression and thoughts.
After playing with the soup for Gu Luosheng, Luo Shuhe held the chopsticks with her fingertips, picked up a meatball calmly and put it into her mouth. She didn't even lift her eyelids while chewing. When her eyes swept over Shen Qingling lightly, it was as if she was looking at an ordinary friend who came to visit. There was no hostility at all, and she showed a calmness of "I am the mistress of this family".
—— This is a kind of confidence that does not need to be deliberately shown off, a typical style of the queen. Just treat Shen Qingling's action of sitting next to Gu Luo as an insignificant episode.
Compared with the Shura Field before, this level is just like playing house, no, it is even more boring than playing house.
Gu Luo had just taken the soup bowl from Luo Shuhe, his fingers still touching the warmth of the bowl's rim. He was about to say "thank you for your hard work, Hebao" when he caught a glimpse of Shen Qingling's chopsticks moving out of the corner of his eye.
She picked up the food quickly and decisively, without any hesitation. With one chopstick, she accurately poked the piece of braised spareribs with the most meat, and it landed steadily in Gu Luo's bowl. Two drops of sauce on the spareribs dripped onto the white rice, leaving a small mark of oil.
"Eat some ribs, Shu Ning makes them very well."
Shen Qingling's tone was calm, as natural as if he was serving food to his family at home. There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care at all about the air that suddenly froze at the corner of the table.
This behavior is too provocative, picking up food for someone else's boyfriend in front of everyone.
The corners of Gu Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and the hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air.
His mind was racing with thoughts. This Shen Qingling was indeed a crazy girl. She didn't give Shu He any face at all...
Gu Luo smiled awkwardly but politely, his eyes catching sight of Luo Shuhe's still calm profile, and then catching a glimpse of Gu Ximan's suddenly furrowed brows. He simply picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup in small sips, his eyes fixed on the winter melon in the bowl, without even looking at the spareribs in the bowl.
I have already made up my mind that even if it means wasting food, I will never touch this "hot spareribs" during this meal.
If he were outside, he would definitely throw the ribs into the trash can, but this is home after all, and the guests are guests. They even helped in the kitchen, so he still has to show courtesy. Ignoring them is the best solution.
However.
There is someone in the family who will not give face to this so-called guest.
“Bang!”
Gu Ximan suddenly put down her chopsticks, and the chair legs rubbed against the floor with a harsh "squeak".
Without waiting for others to react, she stood up, leaned forward, and reached her chopsticks into Gu Luo's bowl, picking up the ribs accurately, her movements as fast as the wind.
When she sat down, she deliberately raised her chin towards Shen Qingling, her teeth biting the ribs with a "crunch" sound, chewing with relish, her eyes full of arrogance as if saying, "Want to pick some food for my stinky brother? Have you asked me?"
At the same time, he had already complained about Shen Qingling eight hundred times in his heart. This crazy woman is too shameless. She dared to snatch people in front of Sister He. Does she really think we are easy to bully?
Shen Qingling watched as the spareribs in the bowl were snatched away without even raising his eyelids. He just picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth, chewing steadily as if the vegetable that was snatched away was not his own.
She didn't feel angry at all, she just thought Gu Ximan's behavior was like a jealous child, which was a bit cute - anyway, she had plenty of patience, so she could just take it slow, and this little episode was nothing.
Everyone at the table tacitly watched their noses and their hearts.
Luo Shuning gently stirred the soup in the bowl, his eyes fixed on the ripples on the surface of the soup, the corners of his mouth maintaining a gentle arc, and he had no intention of intervening in this little farce.
Luo Shuhe picked up a piece of seasonal vegetable and ate it slowly, occasionally adding some vegetables to Gu Luo's bowl. His movements were as natural as usual, as if he didn't notice the little disturbance just now.
Only Ren Lei tightened her grip on the chopsticks, a smile hidden in her eyes. She was so satisfied—so happy! Xiao Man was really good. She just grabbed it and saw how this crazy girl could still show off! She should have been punished like this a long time ago!
Shen Qingling is a crazy girl, and Xiaoman is a tiger girl. There is nothing wrong with a tiger versus a crazy one.
The following dinner was even more interesting - Shen Qingling seemed to be competing with Gu Ximan, and would pick up food for Gu Luo from time to time, from spare ribs to vegetables, and each time he picked up just the right amount.
Gu Ximan was like a "jealous guard". As soon as Shen Qingling's chopsticks left Gu Luo's bowl, she would immediately reach out with her chopsticks, pick up the dishes and put them into her own bowl. She ate them with deliberate relish and occasionally made a face at Shen Qingling.
Gu Luo was stuck in the middle. His bowl was always clean, so he could only drink the soup awkwardly and occasionally pick up some food from the dishes in front of him. He felt both amused and helpless.
These two ancestors, can you please not set up the battlefield in his bowl...
Fortunately, Luo Shuhe never reacted. He would occasionally hand him a piece of paper and whisper, "Drink slowly, don't burn yourself," which made him feel a little relieved.
Under the warm yellow light, the aroma of food mixed with the subtle movements of several people formed a strange and subtle picture - Crazy Girl meets Tiger Girl, the Queen is firmly in her position, Ren Lei is watching with joy, and only Gu Luo is silently "overcoming the tribulation" in the middle, hoping in his heart that the meal will be over soon.
...... .......
The meal ended neither too fast nor too slow.
The dishes and chopsticks on the dining table still retained the warmth of the food, and the warm yellow light cast soft shadows on the cups and plates.
This meal seemed neither fast nor slow to others, but Gu Luo felt like it took him half a century.
