I didn't mean to take advantage of you...
I was so startled by you that I lost my balance.
Besides, to get to the bottom of it, wasn't it you who grabbed the back of my neck first...?
It was as if countless comments were flashing through Fan Xiaofan's mind.
I'm completely innocent...
It feels like she's the one being held accountable now, and she's acting like a complete coward.
Shi Lingheng focused on eating, completely ignoring the person next to him whose eyes were darting around. The more he did this, the more uneasy Fan Xiaofan felt. In the end, she simply stared at the rice in her bowl, guiltily not even lifting her head.
Lu Zhixi, who was standing to the side, noticed that the atmosphere between her second sister and Shi Zhiqing was rather strange. She nudged Fan Yunyan's arm to signal him to pay attention.
Fan Yunyan said with a forced smile, "My family doesn't have much food. Why don't you go back to the educated youth settlement and eat some more..."
This is the kind of situation where they're about to kick people out.
Shi Lingheng slowly wiped his mouth: "No, it's perfect..."
The others looked furious and said, "Don't lie through your teeth!"
Everyone knows how much you, Shi Lingheng, eat. Even if we all gave you all this food, it still might not be enough...
What are you pretending for!
Fan Xiaofan felt this agonizing feeling was really unbearable. She was a good girl with a thirst for knowledge, so after finishing her meal, she cleared her throat and tried to sound as confident as possible: "Shi Zhiqing, do we need to talk?"
Shi Lingheng stood up, his voice gentle and clear: "I'm already sorry for letting you have a free meal, so I won't bother you any further."
This really put Fan Xiaofan in a bind. You'd think that once things were cleared up, everyone would feel at ease and stop overthinking, but Shi Lingheng's attitude was exactly like this...
Now it's not Shi Lingheng grinding his teeth, it's Fan Xiaofan grinding his teeth, wanting to scratch that pretentious face with his claws...
Hmph, if I didn't admire you to the core, and know that you people smile on the outside but hold grudges deep down, I would have scratched you to pieces by now, believe me...
Gritting my teeth!
Shi Lingheng, however, felt completely refreshed. Seeing the beckoning cat's stunned expression, he was indeed in a good mood...
Even if people don't have enough to eat, spiritual fulfillment is also important, isn't it?
As Shi Lingheng was about to leave, Fu Weidong suddenly spoke up: "Master, if you can't afford to eat anymore, I'll take care of you..."
Listen to those touching words, aren't they? Shi Lingheng even felt that this little nephew was indeed related by blood...
But then, Fu Weidong blinked and said, "But you'll have to wait until I grow up and can earn my own food. Right now, I'm supported by my sister, and you're still coming to freeload off me..."
The implication was clear: have you no shame? Have you no shame?
Shi Lingheng, who was about to step out of the yard, suddenly stumbled. "You brat, just wait until next training session, we'll see..."
Fu Weidong blinked innocently. What did he say?
He's even willing to grow up and raise this devil who can't afford to eat—how perfectly he embodies truth, goodness, and beauty...
He's made this person cry so many times, yet he doesn't hold a grudge...
Really, he's so big for his age...
Shi Lingheng straightened up from his staggering stance, turned his head and saw Fan Xiaofan trying to suppress a laugh. He stopped pretending this time: "Didn't you say you wanted to talk? Come here..."
Who was slapped in the face? That's right, it was himself.
Fan Xiaofan stretched out her hand and gave a delicate yawn, looking at the group of people in the courtyard: "Oh dear, I rushed here in such a hurry, I'm so sleepy. Spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, and summer naps are all part of the routine, I should go take a nap..."
