After returning to their rental house, Xia Tian put the things he packed on the dining table and called Qiu Mengyun to come over for dinner.
In order to prevent Qiu Mengyun from not being full with just one portion of lobster, Xia Tian also packed two servings of fried noodles.
After pushing the lobster in front of Qiu Mengyun, Xia Tian opened his own box of fried noodles and started eating.
"Don't you want to eat it?" Seeing that Xia Tian was just concentrating on eating the fried noodles in front of him and had no intention of touching the lobster, Qiu Mengyun asked with concern.
Xia Tian shook his head. "You eat it. There's not much in this portion. I'm afraid it's not enough for you. Besides, I'm from southern Henan and I'm not particularly keen on lobsters. It doesn't matter to me whether I eat it or not."
Xia Tian didn't feel any discomfort about this; he thought it was perfectly normal. She was a girl, after all, so it was only natural that she'd receive some preferential treatment in terms of food and work. Not to mention that Qiu Mengyun was a major star, always living a life of luxury. Even though they were filming a show, her willingness to experience this ordinary life with him was truly rare.
You know, under normal circumstances, Qiu Mengyun would have eaten as much lobster as she wanted. Now, despite wanting it very much, she still chose to take away just one portion after being persuaded by herself. This is a rare opportunity for many female stars. Although she has some of the pampered qualities of those rich girls, she is not the arrogant type who only cares about herself and does not consider the feelings of others. She is not annoying at all.
"No! We are a family living together now. How can I eat all the delicious food alone? Come, you eat too." As she spoke, Qiu Mengyun picked up a few lobsters with chopsticks, put them in a small bowl and pushed it in front of Xia Tian.
"Okay, since we are partners who share weal and woe, let's share the happiness and eat together." Xia Tian did not act pretentiously. He took the small bowl that Qiu Mengyun pushed over and started eating.
"Hehe! That's right. Otherwise, you'll be hungry and thin after the show, and I won't know how to explain to your aunt next time." Seeing Xia Tian peeling the lobster shell and eating it with the fried noodles in front of him, Qiu Mengyun smiled happily.
Xia Tian smiled and said nothing, but a warm feeling unconsciously rose in his heart.
If this were a live broadcast, he might have suspected Qiu Mengyun was doing this for show effect, trying to appear better in front of the audience and create a virtuous image. But after they returned home, the accompanying live broadcast team would not enter. In other words, no one except the two of them would know what was happening in the house.
This shows that Qiu Mengyun really cares about him and really wants to share good things with him.
Although Qiu Mengyun put most of her attention on peeling the lobster, her eyes would occasionally glance at the small bowl in front of Xia Tian. When she saw that Xia Tian had finished the lobster in his bowl, she immediately took the small bowl and filled it up again for him.
Looking at the small bowl of lobster in front of him, Xia Tian smiled and shook his head: "Just eat it yourself, don't worry about me. I'm really not a big fan of lobster."
Qiu Mengyun chewed the lobster in her mouth and said vaguely, "Just eat it if I give it to you. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Xiatian didn't touch the lobster in the bowl in front of him, but quickly picked at the fried noodles in the takeaway box.
After quickly finishing the fried noodles, he freed his hands to start peeling the lobster in front of him. However, this time, after peeling the shell, he did not eat the lobster meat directly, but put it all into the small bowl that held the lobster.
Qiu Mengyun looked at him in surprise, thinking that he liked the satisfaction of peeling and eating all the lobsters together, so she didn't care about continuing to eat the lobsters in front of her.
By the time Xia Tian finished peeling the lobster in front of him, Qiu Mengyun had almost finished the remaining lobsters in front of her.
She wiped her mouth with satisfaction, picked up the fried noodles on the side, and started eating them in small bites.
Xia Tian poured all the lobster meat he had just peeled in his bowl into Qiu Mengyun's fried noodles, then picked up the box that had just contained the lobster and poured some soup into her fried noodles.
He smiled and said, "You shouldn't be that hungry now. This fried noodles might be a little dry. Adding some soup and stirring it will not only make it taste better, but also smoother."
"You, why don't you eat it after peeling it, but give it all to me!" Qiu Mengyun asked in surprise.
Xia Tian: "I'm full. To avoid wasting these, please help me finish them!"
After saying that, without waiting for Qiu Mengyun to speak, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Looking at Xia Tian's departing figure, Qiu Mengyun murmured in a low voice, somewhat moved: "Huh! Why are you suddenly so nice to me? If I really fall in love with you, can you take responsibility?"
After complaining coquettishly, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Hehe, I thought you were a big block of wood, but now it seems you are not really clueless."
After Qiu Mengyun finished eating, she simply tidied up the table and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
But when he turned to look in the direction of Xia Tian's room, he found that he was sitting on the sofa in the living room, busy with something seriously.
"What are you busy with so late at night instead of resting? Could it be that after experiencing the hardships of social life, you've started to work hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Hearing Qiu Mengyun's teasing, Xia Tian replied without even raising his head: "Nothing, just dealing with a small thing. You go take a shower and go to bed first, I'll go back after I finish this."
Qiu Mengyun nodded, didn't take it to heart, and took her things to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out of the shower, she was surprised to find Xia Tian still sitting there fiddling with something.
"Aren't you going to sleep? I'm done washing, you can go take a shower." Qiu Mengyun saw Xia Tian busy and kindly reminded him.
"Okay, I'll be done soon. You take a rest first, I'll go take a shower and go to bed soon." Xia Tian agreed casually, still without even raising his head.
Seeing him gesturing around, Qiu Mengyun thought he had suddenly had an inspiration and was writing down the lyrics and music for a new song. She didn't pay much attention, so she said hello and went back to her room to rest.
After Qiu Mengyun returned to her room, Xia Tian sat in the living room and worked for more than two hours. He finally stopped at around two in the morning.
After putting down the carving knife, Xia Tian first stretched comfortably.
Then he rubbed his aching neck and arms, smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "I haven't carved in so long, my skills are a bit rusty. If it was a job like this before, I could have finished at least an hour earlier."
Although his physical fatigue made him a little depressed, when he looked at the lifelike figure carving on the leaf on the table, a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
