"You silly child, your aunt invited you to dinner, how could I let you cook?"
Wang Xiaoxia held Liang Zhirou's hand and said with great heartache.
If you were to pinpoint when Wang Xiaoxia truly fell in love with the girl in front of her, it would definitely be the moment she noticed the calluses on her hands.
Combining these observations with her words and actions, one can roughly guess what kind of girl Liang Zhirou is.
Liang Zhirou didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, she could only tell the truth: "I want my aunt and uncle to like me..."
Wang Xiaoxia and Chen Guanglin were clearly taken aback by Liang Zhirou's words and were momentarily stunned. However, Wang Xiaoxia's expression revealed that she was very happy.
This girl is so honest it's adorable.
"It's good that you have this thought in mind." Wang Xiaoxia smiled and patted Liang Zhirou's head, liking her more and more as she looked at her.
Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle at the silly answer and turned to look at Chen Mo next to him.
The younger sister wasn't jealous at all; she just stood there, stunned.
"Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon, kid."
He leaned close to Chen Mo's ear and whispered.
Wang Xiaoxia ignored the grumbling siblings and continued looking at Liang Zhirou, "Don't be nervous, Auntie just missed you. I just heard from Xiaolu that you two are dating, so I thought I'd have him invite you over for a meal."
Liang Zhirou nodded vigorously, feeling somewhat happy.
It seems that my aunt and uncle are quite satisfied with me so far...
She was guessing with great uncertainty in her heart.
"You don't object?"
Liang Zhirou asked timidly, her voice very soft, but it took a lot of effort.
However, she regretted saying it as soon as it left her mouth.
At this moment, she desperately wished that they were chatting online and could retract the message.
Unfortunately, that's not the case now, and there's no going back. She could only face reality. So she mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked at Wang Xiaoxia sitting next to her.
Wang Xiaoxia was also staring at her blankly for a while before she reacted and asked with a smile, "Why would I object?"
She thought to herself that this little girl's ideas were really strange, but that was also one of the things that made Liang Zhirou so adorable.
Liang Zhirou didn't know what to say next. She didn't have Chen Lu's ability to talk nonsense, so she could only continue to express what she was thinking.
"Because I'm actually quite useless."
That's truly what she thought, so she simply said it, then added in a low voice, "Besides, my family isn't well-off..."
Liang Zhirou spoke her mind without thinking, as if she were being interrogated, and naively told everyone about her family.
In detail.
Even at times like this, she remained honest and willing to be so.
No one interrupted her; they listened quietly. Previously, Chen Guanglin and Wang Xiaoxia had only heard a general outline from Chen Lu, but now, after learning the details, they couldn't help but feel a lump in their throats.
Chen Mo, who was completely kept in the dark, listened to the story as if it were a tragic tale.
After she finished speaking, Wang Xiaoxia sniffed and said seriously, "First of all, you've been shouldering the burden of the family since you were so young. I've never seen a girl more capable than you."
In Wang Xiaoxia's view, this is the first point that needs to be refuted.
"Secondly, Auntie already likes you. And material conditions can be changed through your joint efforts, it's really not that important. What's most difficult is for two people to maintain their feelings for each other. As long as you and Xiaolu like each other, Auntie won't object."
"I really like it."
Liang Zhirou immediately said, then realized that the other person's words didn't seem to be directed at her, and quickly lowered her head.
Wang Xiaoxia didn't say anything, she just smiled at her.
So embarrassing, so embarrassing...
Liang Zhirou, you're such an idiot!
The girl was so nervous she really didn't want to stay on Earth anymore.
Perhaps out of an instinctive reaction of dependence, she turned her gaze to Chen Lu.
Then she saw Chen Lu make a face at her.
It's strange, though. I was tense just a moment ago, but now I feel much more relaxed.
Under Chen Lu's gaze, Liang Zhirou mustered her courage again, raised her head, and said softly, "Auntie, I want to finish cooking the dishes."
The girl could tell that Chen Lu's look just now was telling her, "I'm here for you."
As long as Chen Lu was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.
Chen Lu picked up on the conversation, saying, "Your future daughter-in-law is a great cook."
Wang Xiaoxia couldn't bear to refuse the girl's kindness, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Auntie will help you."
She was about to stand up when Liang Zhirou pressed her back down onto the sofa with very little force.
"I can do it myself."
After Liang Zhirou finished speaking, she slowly walked towards the kitchen.
Watching the girl's retreating figure, Wang Xiaoxia's feelings became increasingly complicated.
She only felt heartache.
She only had a fleeting thought about how she would feel if Chen Mo had the same experience, and as a result, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
I really don't even dare to think about it. My heart feels like it's being cut by a knife, and I feel cold and trembling.
"The path."
Upon hearing his mother's order, Chen Lu quickly turned his gaze away from the kitchen and looked at his mother with great curiosity.
"Go and bring Zhirou's mother over so we can have a meal together."
"I asked, but Aunt Xiao refuses to come," Chen Lu said helplessly.
Liang Zhirou's occasional stubbornness is definitely inherited from her mother. Most of the time she is easy to talk to, but when she is stubborn, she is very determined.
