This kind of dinner party isn't as frenzied as the ones young people have, nor does it require people to liven up the atmosphere like a business dinner. Everything is natural and comes from the heart.
"Eat, eat quickly. You've been busy all day." Grandma called Junyang's grandmother to pick up some food, then turned to Junyang and his grandfather, "Eat more."
Junyang's grandmother picked up a chicken drumstick for her grandmother and said, "Here, chicken drumstick, eat it, old lady."
"Oh, I won't eat it. Leave it for Jun Yang and Chen Man. The kids can eat it. It's none of my business whether the adults eat it or not."
"You eat. You are old, it's your turn to eat. You have eaten everything in the family. Why are you still feeling sorry for him?"
Chen Man didn't need to greet anyone. She sat down and started working hard.
Junyang’s grandma cooks delicious food. I was just helping out today. I said I would invite others to dinner, but ended up keeping them busy all day.
Chen Man put the other chicken leg in the bowl into Jun Yang's grandmother's bowl, "Grandma, one for each of you old people. We kids don't like it."
Xu Junyang looked at her, as if asking: Who is the child?
The two old ladies looked at her happily and stopped refusing.
Xu Junyang picked up a few slices of braised pork with preserved vegetables for his grandfather, and the two men ate their own food quietly.
Although it was quiet, the atmosphere didn't feel awkward, but rather warm, like a normal family dinner.
"Chen Man really loves to decorate. She made this room so beautiful." Grandma Junyang praised Chen Man to her grandmother while eating.
Grandma: "Young people have energy, we are old and we can do whatever they want."
"Yeah, I don't care anymore when I'm old. It's not good to care too much."
Xu Junyang had discovered long ago that she was a clean and hardworking woman.
She is also a woman who loves beauty. Even when she stays at home, she puts on lipstick and dresses up beautifully.
Chen Man felt someone looking at her, and when she looked up, she met Xu Junyang's deep gaze.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze, but her mind quickly responded differently.
She also remained silent, just looking at him.
Their eyes met, neither of them looking away, just staring, letting the other's appearance be imprinted in their minds.
It seems like it's competing, curious, or expecting something...
"What are you doing standing there? Eat quickly, the food is getting cold." The eye contact between the two was interrupted by Junyang's grandmother.
Chen Man suddenly shifted her gaze and looked at the table full of dishes.
When she looked up again, she saw Xu Junyang still looking at her.
She continued to concentrate on eating the rice in her bowl.
7 seconds.
Chen Man counted in her mind.
I heard that if you look at each other for more than 8 seconds, you will fall in love. I don’t know if it’s true.
But I have to say, looking into each other's eyes is really an ambiguous thing.
At this moment, she felt a shy yet very pleasant emotion spreading within her body.
His eyes weren't cold, but instead seemed filled with sincerity and tenderness, deep and resolute. Perhaps if she continued to look, she would really, as the experiment results suggested, burst into tears.
Chen Man found it incredible.
Xu Junyang rubbed his fingers on his legs under the table twice, trying to ease the inexplicable throbbing in his heart. His heart had never been so active before.
As if he had gone crazy.
Perhaps, this is the ambiguity between adults, calm and unobtrusive, yet understanding each other.
