Chapter 99: Driving Crazy with Jealousy

The stubborn madness came out from the cracks in his bones.

It clamored and urged him to do something next.

Lu Shixu didn't even notice that his eyes were slightly out of focus, as if his soul was stuck in a quagmire.

Tao An, who was sitting opposite him, was so scared that he shrank into the corner of his chair.

"Mr. Lu, the food is getting cold."

Tao An gritted his teeth and held on to the last bit of his duty as an assistant, pushing the dish that had just been served forward.

His action was like a small hammer, knocking open the layer of ice that was silently spreading around Lu Shixu.

The aroma of the food penetrated into the ice through the cracks in the ice.

Lu Shixu suddenly came back to his senses.

He looked at the food in front of him and picked up his chopsticks.

Pick it up, put it in your mouth, and chew it.

An indescribable deliciousness spreads in your mouth.

The missing hole in my heart was filled by direct sensory stimulation.

His soul, floating in the darkness, followed the path and landed on the ground because of this delicious food.

Is eating such a happy thing? Lu Shixu didn't know.

When he was 7 years old, his mother wanted to drag him into the fire to die together.

He struggled desperately, leaving his crazy mother behind and fleeing without looking back...

Since then, he seemed to have lost his sense of life.

Others will develop a desire for life because the sky is blue, the wind is warm, and the food is satisfying.

But he never does.

He didn't even understand what it felt like.

Until now, he had eaten the meals prepared by Nanzhi himself.

“It’s delicious.”

He muttered to himself.

Tao An, who overheard it by accident, almost thought he was hallucinating.

Then, Tao An watched with his own eyes as Lu Shixu finished eating all the dishes bit by bit.

There wasn't even a leaf left.

Tao An couldn't help it:

"Mr. Lu, is your stomach okay?"

Everyone around Lu Shixu knew that he had mild anorexia and would not eat unless necessary.

Long-term irregular eating habits caused him to suffer from serious stomach problems.

For a healthy adult man like Tao An, the amount of one meat and one vegetable is just right.

But for Lu Shixu, it was a bit too much.

"I am fine."

Lu Shixu put down his chopsticks.

It seems that he is still a little unsatisfied.

Tao An found it incredible.

At the same time, the thought kept coming to my mind:

Mr. Lu's three meals a day have always been a difficult problem. If he comes to Nan's Restaurant to take away food every day, then...

Suddenly, a childish voice interrupted Tao An's thoughts:

"Customer, the store is about to close. Do you want to pay the bill?"

Tao An turned his head and saw a little boy appearing beside the table.

He has delicate features, and although he is only 3 or 4 years old, he holds the account book in all seriousness and speaks a set of service skills, like a professional waiter!

Having watched the show countless times, Tao An naturally recognized that the boy in front of him was Miss Nanzhi's son Nan Yi.

So, it is possible for me to become Mr. Lu’s son in the future?

Tao An was shocked, as if he saw a broad road opening before his eyes...

"Buy it! Of course I'll buy it! How much is it? Do you need my help to calculate it?"

Tao An was particularly attentive.

Nan Yi pursed her lips and refused in a serious manner:

"Thank you, but no thanks."

Although Tao An wanted to take the initiative to please Nan Yi because of his relationship with Mr. Lu.

However, seeing Nan Yi pretending to be a serious little adult...

What to do! I am touched by his cuteness! Nan Yi looked at Tao An warily, always feeling that this uncle was weird.

He calmly stepped aside and handed over the bill.

He then raised the payment code sign hanging on his chest, which had been used since the last photo shoot.

This reminded Tao An of the scenes in the show. He felt quite happy and happily scanned the code to pay.

Nan Yi nodded politely:

“You’re welcome to come again next time.”

Then he looked at Tao An, and Tao An looked at him.

They stared at each other, and no one moved.

Tao An was slow to react: "Ah... Oh, we want to sit for a while longer! Is that ok?"

"All right."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Nan Yi's little face drooped, looking reluctant.

After all, all the other customers in the store have left, leaving only this table.

But one of them was a man who had left a bad impression on him! Nan Yi quickly glanced at Lu Shixu and realized that this man had been looking at him.

He frowned unhappily.

What are you looking at!

The flesh on Nan Yi's little face became even tighter.

He calmly put the account book into his sweatshirt pocket, pretended not to care about Lu Shixu's gaze, and took the initiative to clean up the plates.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Tao An stood up hurriedly.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of pleasing others, Tao An, as an adult, couldn't just sit there and watch a child serve dishes and do nothing.

Nan Yi didn't appreciate it, but avoided his hand:

"You're a guest, you should rest! I can do it!"

His eyes were particularly bright and full of stubbornness.

"Let him come."

This is what Lu Shixu said to Tao An.

After struggling for a while, Tao An had no choice but to sit back down.

He watched Nan Yi's actions with fear and trepidation, only to find that this child was much smarter than he thought.

There was vegetable soup on the plate, so Nan Yi poured the soup into the bowl first to prevent it from spilling while walking;

All the plates piled together were too tiring for Nan Yi, so he made several trips to move a little at a time. After the plates were removed, Nan Yi took a rag, held it in his two small hands, and wiped it laboriously but carefully to ensure that every corner was clean. After finishing his work, Nan Yi asked Lu Shixu and Tao An if they needed tea.

...It can be said that the service is very good.

Tao An wanted to refuse.

But Lu Shixu nodded: "It's troublesome."

Nan Yi nodded and turned around.

He stood on a small stool, and his frail arms trembled as he picked up the heavy teapot to pour water, his face flushed red.

Tao An really couldn't bear it, and whispered:

"Sir, he is so young, and we just watch him without giving him a hand. Isn't that a bit too much?"

And you are going after his biological mother! Shouldn't you please him in every possible way and satisfy all his requests?

Lu Shixu said: "Rather than taking care of him because you are young, he should hope that you respect his work more."

Tao An wanted to laugh.

What kind of job can such a small person have...

etc.

Whether it was paying the bill or cleaning, didn't Nan Yi do it properly? Why was he so arrogant and eager to deny it?

"Sir, you are so insightful!"

Tao An gave a little flattery.

Lu Shixu didn't say anything.

He stared at Nan Yi in silence, his mind turning over and over again -

Who is the father of this child? Who has left a strong mark in Nanzhi's life? Although reason tells him that these are all things of the past, he should not take them to heart.

But how could he not care? Just imagining Nanzhi being intimate with another man made him almost crazy with jealousy!
