Chapter 5 Cen Nian, come out for dinner
Five days later, Cen Nian finally met Mr. Jin.
Jin Jingming, to Cen Nian, he is like a timely help.
After her mother passed away, Cen Nian lived with her grandmother in her uncle's house. Her grandmother was old and increasingly frail. One day, she suddenly fell ill, and her uncle's business failed, leaving the family with no money.
It was at this time that Jin Jingming appeared. He paid all of grandma's hospitalization expenses and has been supporting Cen Nian until now.
She had only met Mr. Jin once, when she was only eight years old. She was still young, and all her impression of Mr. Jin was that he was very tall. Looking up from her angle, Mr. Jin had sharp eyebrows and a handsome face. His black suit made him look even more imposing.
The neighbors all said that this was an elite person with a mysterious and unpredictable temperament.
Cen Nian was stunned for a moment, and Jin Jingming took the initiative to greet her: "Cen Nian, are you used to living here?"
Cen Nian nodded: "I'm used to it. Uncle Li and Aunt Liu take special care of me. Thank you, Mr. Jin."
"No need to be so formal." Jin Jingming said in a low voice, waving his hand casually: "The company is busy, and I haven't had time to come back to meet you. I'm sorry."
He said sorry, but there was not much apology in his tone. However, to Cen Nian's ears, it didn't mean anything.
Cen Nian pursed her lips and gave a well-behaved smile, when suddenly a mocking sneer came from behind her.
They both turned around. Jin Siyang had walked in at some point. Cen Nian lowered his eyes, his thoughts a little confused.
Jin Siyang and Jin Jingming have similar features, and even their demeanor is similar. Outsiders can only sigh and say that they are indeed father and son.
Cen Nian felt the tension between Jin Siyang and Jin Jingming. There was no need to elaborate on it. Just from the few words Jin Siyang said before, she knew that their relationship had become like this because of her arrival, right?
Thinking of this, Cen Nian felt even more ashamed. She seemed to be a trouble wherever she went.
Jin Jingming raised his sword-like eyebrows and looked directly at Jin Siyang: "Didn't you see me? You have no manners at all now."
Jin Siyang paused as he was about to go upstairs. He turned around with a rather frivolous smile on his face. He said, "Dad, it's quite strange that you're back."
Jin Jingming snorted lightly. He was no longer surprised by his attitude, but today, because there were outsiders at home, he endured it.
Jin Jingming doesn't go home often. He has another house outside. He is usually too busy with social activities and work to go home. He rushed back today just to talk to Cen Nian about the start of school.
"I've already arranged registration on the first day of school. If you have any questions, you can ask Uncle Li." Before leaving, Mr. Jin said to the girl in front of him, "You and Si Yang are in the same class. You can talk to him about anything you encounter at school."
Cen Nian nodded in agreement, and her obedient and unafraid attitude made Jin Jingming feel a little happier.
In fact, she was secretly thinking that even if something happened, she would never dare to look for Jin Siyang. Besides, she should solve her own problems, so it would be better for her not to trouble the Jin family too much.
Aunt Liu prepared dinner as usual and went upstairs to call for help, but Jin Siyang didn't come down for a long time.
Cen Nian was carrying her bowl and chopsticks to the small dining room to eat with Uncle Li and Aunt Liu. She watched Aunt Liu go downstairs helplessly and distressedly. Cen Nian couldn't help but mutter, "He doesn't eat every day. Is he cultivating immortality?"
Aunt Liu didn't hear clearly, so she asked with a smile, "What did Nian Nian say? Aunt Liu wasn't paying attention just now."
Cen Nian shuddered: "I said Aunt Liu's cooking is especially delicious."
"Xiao Nian Nian is so sweet, let's eat."
Cen Nian placed the dishes and chopsticks in place, then she chose a seat and sat down, her back facing the door.
Uncle Li and Aunt Liu were busy for a while and had just sat down when Uncle Li suddenly raised his eyes and looked outside the door.
Cen Nian followed Uncle Li's gaze with suspicion. A tall figure was reflected on the ground. Jin Siyang had one hand in his pocket, leaning against the door, looking at Cen Nian with an indifferent expression. After she blinked countless times, Jin Siyang stood up straight: "Cen Nian, come out for dinner."
Cen Nian: "..."
This is not a voice-controlled benefit, this is the devil's whisper.
Cen Nian followed Jin Siyang with her bowl in hand. She carefully sat down opposite him. This was her first time eating at the same table with Jin Siyang.
Jin Siyang filled a bowl of soup and placed it next to him. He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and started eating it with the rice.
He ate in a very elegant manner. Cen Nian was lost in thought as to how someone could eat so elegantly. She seemed to understand what it meant to be a feast for the eyes.
"See if I can be full?"
"Ah?" She came back to her senses suddenly and lowered her head to eat in embarrassment.
"There are dishes in the living room outside, why are you going to Uncle Li and Aunt Liu's place?" Jin Siyang said calmly, his emotions were invisible. "A loving couple is having a meal together, and you have to go up there and act like a light bulb."
"......" Cen Nian was silent for two seconds, and then couldn't help but mutter: "Didn't I tell you before?"
Her voice was very soft, like the buzzing of a mosquito.
Jin Siyang didn't hear clearly: "What are you mumbling about?"
"Nothing, I just said I was hungry." What else could she say? She couldn't just say that she didn't want to eat alone, so she ran to Uncle Li and Aunt Liu's place to eat. If she really said that, who knows what the young master in front of her would think!
However, what Jin Siyang said was not without reason. Uncle Li and Aunt Liu had a very good relationship. Even though the dining area was not as grand as the living room outside, they decorated it very warmly. Her sudden appearance did make her a third wheel for several days.
She took a small bite of rice, her eyes lingering over the dishes, her gaze moving as if she was expressing what was in her heart.
Jin Siyang glanced at him and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Tell me something."
With a slightly commanding tone, Cen Nian looked up at him like a quail. Jin Siyang's black eyes were deep and unfathomable, without any fluctuation.
"What's the matter?" She said with a weak tone.
"Don't act familiar at school and don't cause trouble for me."
It was time to draw a clear line. Cen Nian was a person of measure. Even if he didn't say it, she would never dare to get involved with him. "Don't worry, I'll pretend I don't know you at school and won't cause you any trouble."
The girl's voice was a little softer, but her tone was firm. Jin Si raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay."
After Jin Siyang finished his meal, he put his dishes into the dishwasher. Cen Nian was still eating her rice in small bites. Her back looked a little thin. The white short-sleeved shirt made her already thin back look even thinner.
Jin Siyang paused slightly, then walked upstairs again. After climbing half a flight of stairs, he suddenly turned around and went downstairs to the dining room. The person who had been eating in small bites was now trying hard to eat, looking like a completely different person.
Jin Siyang couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds. Cen Nian thought he had left. While eating, he couldn't help but mutter several times: "Delicious, this is delicious too!"
"How can someone not even eat meat? If not me, then...Ah!!!" A figure appeared in her peripheral vision, frightening her to death. Cen Nian swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "You, why are you...silent!"
Due to excessive shock, his voice was loud at first, but it softened after he saw Jin Siyang, and it sounded a bit humorous.
Jin Siyang ignored her and took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator. When he passed by her, he sneered, "It's like you haven't eaten for three days."
Uh uh uh!!!
Why is he back again!
Cen Nian pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "Aunt Liu's cooking is delicious."
Cen Nian's tone was not just weak. How could he have witnessed such an embarrassing moment? Alas!
