Chapter 1626, Side Story 136: Differentiation Between Close and Distant Relationships



Xu Ziyu reached out and pinched her cheek, laughing, "So you can blush after all."

Luo Xikui glared at him playfully. She was just in a hurry to see him, that's why she was so impatient.

"Xiao Chun has been off work for so long, why are you only coming back now?" She glanced at her watch; she had been waiting for him here for an hour.

"I have other things to do." Xu Ziyu thought he would give her a surprise later.

Luo Xikui didn't ask what it was about, because she felt that he was probably busy with official business, and she wasn't interested in his work. This was probably a bit of an artist's temperament.

"What are you talking about?" Ni Sitian asked casually with a smile as she brought out the dishes.

Luo Xikui quickly stood up and helped serve the dishes.

Xin Chun also brought out the dishes, placed them down, and sat down at the lower seat.

This seat is directly opposite Xu Ziyu's seat, and Xu Ziyu is sitting next to Luo Xikui.

“Your dad won’t be home for dinner tonight, so the few of us can eat.” Ni Sitian sat down, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Luo Xikui, and said with a smile, “You’ve all lost weight, so eat something.”

Luo Xikui smiled and thanked her, then started eating.

Xu Ziyu ladled a bowl of soup for her and said softly, "Eat slowly."

Luo Xikui lowered her head and took a sip of soup with a spoon.

Seeing how well the two children were doing, Ni Sitian was in a particularly good mood, and she didn't forget Xin Chun, serving her a lot of food.

Xin Chun thanked him while eating with her head down. A little while later, when she reached for a shrimp with her chopsticks, she accidentally picked up the same shrimp as another pair of chopsticks.

She looked up and saw it was Luo Xikui, and for a moment she didn't retract her hand.

Luo Xikui stopped, because Xu Ziyu put the peeled shrimp into her bowl and said, "I've already gotten my hands dirty peeling them, so don't get them dirty too."

Although Xin Chun managed to pick up the shrimp, she couldn't taste it.

She also noticed something: tonight's dinner consisted entirely of dishes Luo Xikui loved—sweet and sour pork ribs, braised prawns, corn chowder, and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar…

These were all dishes she used to order when she ate with Luo Xikui.

Even though she was here, Ni Sitian only thought of Luo Xikui when she ordered the kitchen to prepare the food, clearly showing her closeness to Luo Xikui.

After dinner, it was getting late.

Ni Sitian chatted with the two girls for another half hour. When Xin Chun was about to say goodbye, Luo Xikui also said she was going back, so she asked Xu Ziyu to see them off.

Xu Ziyu had given Zhang Ping a New Year's Day holiday when he went home, so he was going to drive him there himself.

He was about to pick up Luo Xikui's suitcase when Luo Xikui quickly took it herself, but he still reached out to help.

"How about I drive?" Luo Xikui was still worried about his knees.

"Sit down properly." Xu Ziyu opened the passenger door and pushed her to get in.

Xin Chun gripped her bag tightly, opened the car door herself, and got into the back seat.

After Xu Zi got into the driver's seat, he saw Luo Xikui still pulling on her seatbelt, as if it was taking a lot of effort.

He leaned over and reached out to help her fasten her seatbelt.

"Thank you." Luo Xikui smiled sweetly. If there weren't other people around, she would definitely have kissed him to express her gratitude.

Xu Ziyu smiled faintly, fastened his seatbelt, and started the car.

"What are you planning to do tomorrow?" Xu Ziyu asked Luo Xikui as he opened the door.

"Nothing special, I exercise in the morning and then practice the piano, and then I'm fine." Luo Xikui said casually, but couldn't help but notice Xin Chun in the back seat, who kept her head down and didn't say anything.
