Chapter 381 Playing Games
Seeing the two bickering back and forth, Leng Yanluo smiled and shook his head: "Fourth brother-in-law, how many children to have is not up to me, it all depends on An'an's wishes."
The brothers-in-law exchanged glances, then sighed together: "That's true."
Half an hour later, my fourth brother-in-law started making arrangements: "Come on, come on, dinner's ready!"
The older sisters had just finished a round of mahjong when they heard it was time to eat, so they got up, washed their hands, and sat down at the table.
As usual, Anya sat in the main seat, with Anzhi and her second brother-in-law on her left, and Anzhen and her fourth brother-in-law on her right. Leng Yanluo and Anjing sat next to her fourth brother-in-law.
Anzhen asked, "Are we just going to eat like this and not wait for Tingting?"
An Zhi said, "He just sent a message in the group saying that there is a meeting at the company and he will be back later."
"Oh, and what about the children?"
"She's also at the company with Tingting."
Just then, the food was served, a table full of dishes, all looking and smelling delicious.
The fourth brother-in-law laughed from the side, "Xiao Luo was in charge of cooking all the main dishes on this table today. My second brother-in-law and I just assisted him a little."
Looking at the table full of dishes, the eldest sister Anya nodded and said, "Teacher Luo is very thoughtful."
Anzhen chimed in with a smile, "Of course you put your heart into it! The fish is prepared with both chopped chili and steamed, knowing that our eldest and second eldest sisters can't handle spicy food, while Jingjing and I are addicted to it. And the tomato tofu stuffed with shrimp paste, isn't that our second eldest sister and brother-in-law's favorite dish? Xiao Luo, you've done your homework well!"
Fourth brother-in-law urged everyone, "Stop talking, everyone hurry up and try it! Xiaojing, you're the star today, you have to have the first bite."
As he spoke, the fourth brother-in-law picked up a piece of the celery and beef that was closest to him and handed it to the quiet plate.
Halfway through the meal, Leng Yanluo quickly stopped it with his own plate and said gently, "Fourth brother-in-law, Xiaojing doesn't eat cilantro, so I'll eat this first bite for her."
This celery beef dish was made by my second brother-in-law, and he added cilantro for flavor.
Fourth brother-in-law suddenly realized what was happening and promptly placed the dish on Leng Yanluo's plate, saying with annoyance, "Look at my memory, I always forget. Xiaojing, I'm sorry, I'll punish myself with three drinks later."
Anjing chuckled and joked, "It's alright, just remember what my fourth sister doesn't eat."
Fourth brother-in-law patted his chest and said, "Of course, I'll never forget it. If I'm wrong, I'll have to kneel on the keyboard."
An Zhen playfully punched his shoulder, which made everyone laugh.
After the laughter subsided, everyone gradually started eating.
Anjing took a sip of her drink and quietly asked Leng Yanluo next to her, "Teacher Luo, we've only known each other for a few days. How did you know I don't eat cilantro? I don't remember mentioning it to you."
Leng Yanluo paused for a moment, then said, "You mentioned it, but you forgot."
"Oh, when?"
"That's what I said on the phone the night I got drunk."
Anjing broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about that strange five-minute phone call that night, and said awkwardly, "Oh, is that so? Well, I'm really great!"
Leng Yanluo composed himself: "Everyone's watching, so don't say anything and hurry up and eat."
Anjing chuckled and picked up a piece of chopped chili fish head with her chopsticks, putting it into her mouth.
The seasoning was plentiful, and the meat was very tender—just the flavor she liked!
She immediately gave Leng Yanluo a big thumbs up, and then picked up another piece of food with her chopsticks.
She was enjoying her meal and didn't notice the tenderness hidden in the eyes of the man beside her.
The interaction between the two was observed by everyone in the An family.
The An sisters are close, and their meals don't follow the usual family rules. They chat and laugh while eating, and when An Ya sees the interaction between the two, she gives An Zhen a look.
Anzhen gave a reassuring look, then put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and lightly tapped the table, saying, "It's a bit boring just eating like this. How about we play a game?"
Fourth brother-in-law was the first to respond to his wife, asking enthusiastically, "Great! What game?"
Seeing that her second sister's husband and sister were also interested, Anzhen smiled and said, "This game is called the Great Test of Tacit Understanding."
"A test of teamwork?" Anjing asked, puzzled. "Who are we testing?"
The fourth brother-in-law cautiously probed from the side: "Could it be a test of the tacit understanding between us men and you women?"
Anzhen glanced at her husband beside her: "That's right!"
As a result, my fourth brother-in-law's expression changed instantly, and he muttered, "I'm not playing. This is a death trap. You know we've never had any chemistry... Ouch!"
A sharp pain shot through his foot, and his face contorted in pain.
Beside her, Anzhen chuckled: "Honey, what did you just say?"
Fourth brother-in-law: "...I said I wouldn't play, how could I not play? This game is so addictive! Ah Zhen, the game you mentioned is really good, I really want to play it!"
Anzhen withdrew her foot and looked at her husband with satisfaction: "These are your true feelings. No one forced you, right?"
Fourth brother-in-law shook his head fearfully: "..."
Anzhen then looked at Anzhi and her second brother-in-law: "So, second sister and brother-in-law, are you interested?"
An Zhi's face remained as gentle as ever: "I'm fine with anything."
Anzhi's brother-in-law put his arm around her and said, "If your second sister is going, I'll go too."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other with sweet expressions.
The people at the table: "..."
Well, here comes another dose of PDA.
Anzhen quickly turned her gaze to Anjing and Leng Yanluo: "You two are juniors, you have no right to refuse, let's begin."
Anjing complained, "Hey, Fourth Sister, you're bullying me too much! This game is so old-fashioned, I'm not playing. How about we play musical chairs instead? That's much more fun!"
Testing their tacit understanding? She and Leng Yanluo had only known each other for a week. What tacit understanding could they possibly have? If they really started playing games, she would definitely be exposed. This was a trap, and she wasn't going to fall into it.
Anzhen looked disgusted: "What you're saying is way more old-fashioned than mine, okay?"
She then clicked her tongue twice: "An'an, could it be that you're hiding something and too guilty to play along?"
Quietly, she stiffened her neck, trying to bolster her courage: "Who...who's feeling guilty!"
Leng Yanluo, who was standing to the side, seemed to see her concerns. He took her hand and said to Anzhen, "Fourth Sister, let's play."
Anzhen clapped her hands: "Good, I like Luo's straightforwardness, unlike you, who is so indecisive."
Quiet, who was always teased by her older sisters for being impulsive: "?"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Anzhen began to explain the rules: "This game is actually very simple. In a little while, I will give everyone a whiteboard, and there are some questions here. We will randomly select one to ask, and after the question is asked, everyone will have half a minute to answer. When the time is up, Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law, Xiaojing and Teacher Luo, and Aqiang and I will reveal our answer boards together. If both of our answers match, we pass; otherwise, we will be punished. How about that?"
“We’re fine with that,” said the second brother-in-law, putting his arm around Anzhi. “But fourth brother, since you’re going to participate in the game, you can’t host it, right?”
