He turned and left, looking a little flustered. Ni Yueshan spoke from behind him: "Let's finish our meal before we leave."
Shao Lecheng paused: "Huh?"
Ni Yueshan picked out a few larger corns from the basket and walked towards the kitchen. Shao Lecheng looked back at Jing Yuchen, not knowing how to react.
Finally, he followed Ni Yueshan to the kitchen. Jing Yuchen sat on a chair, not saying a word, with a very heavy expression.
Duan Gouqiong said with some disdain: "Second Prince, why don't you dare to say a word? Aren't you a little too thin-skinned?"
"I see your beloved woman isn't very smart, is she? Did we just fool her like this?"
Jing Yuchen did not respond, but just sat in the chair in silence.
It was not until a shout was heard that Jing Yuchen reacted and quickly headed towards the kitchen.
At this time, Ni Yueshan was distracted while cutting vegetables and cut her hand. She screamed in pain and quickly dropped the kitchen knife.
Shao Lecheng walked up to Ni Yueshan and grabbed her finger. "Why are you so careless? You've been learning to cook for so many days, and you still cut your hand while cutting vegetables?"
Jing Yuchen walked to the kitchen and stopped, not knowing how to start the conversation.
He stood at the door without moving. Ni Yueshan felt that there was someone standing at the door. She frowned and looked at Jing Yuchen.
Shao Lecheng quickly let go of his hand and said, "Go back to the house and find some gauze to bandage it. Let me do the cutting of the vegetables."
Ni Yueshan said nothing, lowered her head, and prepared to leave the kitchen. Jing Yuchen took out a bottle of medicine.
"Apply it and the wound will heal quickly."
Jing Yuchen felt that Ni Yueshan had definitely figured out who he was, so in front of Ni Yueshan, Jing Yuchen did not disguise his voice.
Ni Yueshan hesitated for just a moment, then reached out to take it.
After that, he walked out of the kitchen. When Ni Yueshan left, the embarrassed Shao Lecheng breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Jing Yuchen, "Come over and add some fuel to the fire. If you don't cook, it will be dinner!"
Being instructed by Shao Lecheng, Jing Yuchen did not show any sign of getting angry. He walked towards the back of the stove. Shao Lecheng became interested and asked, "Let me guess what you are going to do?"
"With the outfit you're wearing, I can recognize you at a glance. Not to mention Yue Shan, she can recognize you even more easily!"
Jing Yuchen was already struggling with this, and now that Shao Lecheng said this, he felt even more depressed.
"She didn't chase me away. Does that mean she's not that resistant to seeing me?"
"Didn't I invite you to stay for dinner? You'll know after you finish eating!"
Shao Lecheng had an expression that seemed to see through everything, and these words instantly made Jing Yuchen feel bad.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was strange. No one spoke. The food was placed on the table, the bowls and chopsticks were ready, and there was even a pot of wine.
There were two men and two women, and the atmosphere was strange. Shao Lecheng couldn't help coughing, breaking the silence: "Here are cornmeal buns, and corn pancakes. Look, there's also corn and pork rib soup... Haha, I also made fried corn..."
Ni Yueshan: “…”
Jing Yuchen: “…”
Duan Gouqiong: “…”
Shao Lecheng smiled devilishly. He thought his opening remarks were very good and would definitely break the deadlock, but he didn't expect that this opening seemed to make things even more awkward.
He cleared his throat again: "Let's eat!"
He took the initiative to scoop up the soup and drank it, enjoying it very much, smacking his lips in an attempt to ease the awkwardness and deadlock.
Jing Yuchen slowly raised his hands from his knees and picked up the chopsticks.
Duan Gouqiong pouted. Apart from the pork rib soup, nothing else seemed appetizing.
Ni Yueshan lifted the veil that covered her face.
When Jing Yuchen saw Ni Yueshan's face revealed, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Shao Lecheng had said that Ni Yueshan was completely unrecognizable...
He originally thought that it would be a face that was disfigured and difficult to recognize, but it was just covered with scars.
But it was obvious that medicine was being used, as there was a light green liquid floating on the wound, as well as a fresh herbal scent.
His face was not ugly, and his appearance was not completely changed, except that the red scar was gone, having long since healed and faded.
Jing Yuchen picked up a piece of pork ribs with heavy lean meat, then walked in front of Shao Lecheng and threw it into Ni Yueshan's bowl.
The bowl was small to begin with, and was filled with rice. Then a large piece of pork rib was placed over it, and the meat she had originally picked up was squeezed out. With a "bang", a subtle sound that no one could hear, it hit the table.
Shao Lecheng: “…”
He stared at that piece of meat for a long time!
He looked at Jing Yuchen with resentment, but Jing Yuchen pretended not to see it.
Ni Yueshan's mouth twitched, feeling embarrassed.
Duan Gouqiong made a disdainful "tsk" sound on the side, then picked up the second largest piece of ribs and put it in front of Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng's eyes immediately lit up, and he watched eagerly as the ribs were about to fall into his bowl.
Who knew that Duan Gouqiong turned around and came in front of Jing Yuchen. Jing Yuchen frowned. He had no interest in the extra piece of ribs in front of him. Instead, he felt that it was an object that made him resist.
He frowned tightly, Duan Gouqiong chuckled, and then...
The ribs fell steadily into Ni Yueshan's bowl, and the ribs that Jing Yuchen had just picked up were squeezed aside and also fell on the table.
Duan Gouqiong snorted softly: "Big sister, you look so thin, hurry up and eat more."
