"Well, it'll be ready soon." Shu Xin turned her head to look at Huo Yanqing, smiled slightly, then turned back and continued picking the fish bones. After a while, it was all done, and placed the dish on Huo Yanqing's right hand side. "Okay, let's eat."
"Okay." Huo Yanqing started to eat. Seeing Shu Xin taking such meticulous care of him, her heart softened. If this was not a restaurant and everyone was here, he really wanted to hold her and kiss her.
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa and drank tea.
Huo Yanqing held Shu Xin's hand and couldn't bear to let go. He rubbed each of her fingers with his fingertips. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her little hand without looking away. Her fingers were very beautiful, long and thin. Turn over , there are small lines in the palm, the palm is thin, and her whole small hand can be wrapped in it with a big hand.
Yao Huiqin was discussing with Shu Xin whether to have New Year's Eve dinner out or at home.
Shu Xin said: "We are all a family, so let's eat at home. It's more comfortable."
Yao Huiqin nodded and looked at Tang Qingya, "Qingya, what do you think?"
Tang Qingya curled up her lips with a decent smile, "It's more comfortable to eat at home, but aren't Xin'er's family coming? There are more choices of dishes and flavors outside, so eating out seems more grand."
Opinions are not unanimous.
Yao Huiqin looked at Huo Yanqing, "Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
"Listen to your heart." Huo Yan said without raising his head.
A strange color flashed across Tang Qingya's eyes quickly, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth never faded, "Yanqing is right, it's Xin'er's family, it's better to listen to Xin'er."
"Okay." Yao Huiqin finally decided, "Then we'll eat it at home."
"Mom, let me cook the New Year's Eve dinner." Shu Xin said.
Yao Huiqin disagreed, "How can that be done? There are so many people and so many dishes. It will be so tiring for you to do it."
"Don't you like to eat the food I cook? And my father and grandma are coming too. They are usually busy with work and don't have time to take good care of you. It happens to be a holiday now. Can you give me a chance to honor my elders?" Shu Xin smiled and looked at it. Looking at Yao Huiqin, her eyes were partly pleading and partly coquettish.
Yao Huiqin smiled and nodded in agreement, feeling warm in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Wu is lucky to marry you. He can work in the hall and in the kitchen. He is smart, virtuous, beautiful and filial."
Shu Xin's face turned red after being praised by Yao Huiqin, "Mom, I'm not as good as you said."
"Mom is right, having you is the greatest luck in my life." As Huo Yanqing spoke, he picked up Shu Xin's hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Shu Xin immediately retracted her hand, her face turned red, and her round earlobes were dyed pink. She lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at everyone, but her heart was palpitating for what Huo Yanqing just said.
It's disgusting, even if he talks sweet words in front of so many people, he actually kisses her hand. He can't see it and is not shy, but she is afraid.
Tang Qingya's hand holding the tea cup was slightly clenched, with a smile on her face, she joked: "You are showing affection like this, have you ever thought about my feelings? I am single."
"Yes." Huo Yanqing nodded seriously, and then said to Shu Xin, "Xin'er, let's go back and kiss."
Shu Xin's already red face was stained with a layer of pink, and it was so red that it seemed to bleed. She was afraid that Huo Yanqing would say something that would make her even more embarrassed, so she hurriedly took Huo Yanqing's hand and walked towards the door.
