Lu Baiquan was making dumplings in the dining room, and Lu Yao went to the kitchen to cook, with the pretty boy sitting at her feet. Wagging its big fluffy tail. She cut the cooked chicken into pieces and bent down to feed it.
After staying in the kitchen for less than ten minutes, the door was pushed open from the outside. She looked sideways. The person who came in was Ji Guanxin.
She asked aloud: "If you're not making dumplings outside, why are you coming in?"
Lu Baiquan said before that he wanted to make dumplings. Jiang Rui immediately rolled up his sleeves and said he wanted to help, and Ji Guanxin was not far behind. Said he can also pack.
Lu Yao didn't believe that Ji Guanxin could make dumplings, but he insisted on showing off on his own. She left him alone.
Now I saw him walking in with a slumped face. Lu Yao was quite puzzled.
Ji Guanxin's handsome face was full of depressed expression, and he rolled his eyes 360 degrees. He replied in a low voice: "What are you showing off for? How amazing is it that you can make dumplings? So awesome. Why don't you open a car shop or a jade shop? Why don't you open a dumpling restaurant?"
Lu Yao saw that his face was full of displeasure, and he was teasing in his words. Naturally, he knew he was talking about Jiang Rui.
Subconsciously lowering her voice, she asked aloud: "Why are you competing with Brother Rui?"
Ji Guanxin came to Lu Yao. He lowered his gaze to look at the chicken on the chopping board. Hearing this, he curled his lips and replied: "Why don't you ask him why you want to compete with me? What is my relationship with you? I am here as your new uncle. Come to your door, what's the point of showing off in front of your father
After saying that, he reached out and took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.
Lu Yao quickly said: "There are no condiments."
It was already too late. Ji Guanxin chewed a few times. The freshly steamed chicken was very tender, but it had no taste at all. It was difficult for him to spit it out, and it made him nauseous if he chewed it again, so he had to swallow it alive.
Lu Yao looked at his frown and quickly went to the side to pour him a glass of water.
Ji Guanxin took a sip of water, and Lu Yao asked, "Is it better?"
Ji Guanxin looked at her and replied with a flat mouth: "Just kiss me and I'll be fine."
Lu Yao rolled her eyes at him and didn't care what the occasion was.
He followed her around, never leaving. Lu Yao said, "You can go outside. I'll be cooking later. It's full of oil fumes."
Ji Guanxin said: "I won't go out. Jiang Rui likes to show off. Let him take care of it and see if he can provide flowers."
Lu Yao glanced at him and whispered: "Childish."
Ji Guanxin sat at the doorway between the kitchen and the balcony, with his arms on his knees and his head lowered to interact with the pretty boy.
He said: "How can we stay here tonight?"
"Huh?" Lu Yao turned her back to Ji Guanxin and was chopping vegetables.
Ji Guanxin looked up at her back and asked again: "How can we stay tonight?"
Lu Yao stopped what she was doing, turned to look back at Ji Guanxin, and asked instead, "Aren't you going to stay in a hotel?"
Ji Guanxin raised his eyebrows and replied: "I can stay in a hotel, but what about you? Where do you stay?"
Lu Yao looked matter-of-fact and replied calmly: "This is my home, of course I live at home."
Ji Guanxin said shamelessly, "Then I'll stay at your house too."
Lu Yao's beautiful eyes widened and she couldn't help but glared and retorted: "Why are you living in my house? I don't have a place for you to live in my house."
Ji Guanxin said: "Which room do you sleep in? I'll just squeeze in with you."
Seeing the way he said "I don't mind", Lu Yao forgot that she was still holding a kitchen knife in her hand. She turned around to argue with him. When Ji Guanxin saw this, he immediately leaned towards the door and said nervously. : "If you don't want to sleep, don't sleep. If you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't use the knife."
When Lu Yao heard this, she lowered her head and saw that she was holding a shiny kitchen knife in her right hand.
She was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the kitchen door happened to be pushed open again, and this time it was Lu Baiquan who came in.
Lu Baiquan glanced at Lu Yao, and then at Ji Guanxin who was clinging to the balcony door. He looked at her with eyes full of surprise and said, "What's wrong?"
Ji Guanxin saw the savior and hurriedly said: "Uncle, look at her, she is so fierce."
Of course Lu Baiquan wanted to give Ji Guanxin face. He immediately looked at Lu Yao and said, "Yao Yao, are you bullying Guan Xin?"
Lu Yao put the kitchen knife back on the chopping board and replied: "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense. He is just bullying me."
Ji Guanxin said: "Why did I bully you?"
Lu Yao glanced at him. She couldn't openly talk about the topic just now in front of Lu Bai, so she could only suffer the consequences.
Lu Baiquan came in to get the sesame oil, saying that putting some sesame oil in the dumpling stuffing would make it more delicious.
Before leaving, he told Lu Yao, "Don't bully Guan Xin. Guan Xin is such a good and sensible kid."
When the door closed, Ji Guanxin immediately changed his expression, looked at Lu Yao with narrow eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Did you see that? In the eyes of uncle, I am an honest person. Don't bully honest people. Normally. Honest people have backers.”
Lu Yao was very aware of his ability to "do one thing in front of others and behind the scenes". Not to mention that Lu Baiquan didn't have deep contact with him. She only slowly realized how much of a thief he was.
Unable to quarrel with him, she turned around and continued chopping vegetables.
Ji Guanxin stood up, came behind her, and hugged her waist from behind. Lu Yao instinctively wanted to break free and turned her head to look at the kitchen door, fearing that someone would come in.
"Let go, stop making trouble." Her hands were stained with water and oil, and she couldn't directly grab Ji Guanxin's hand, so she could only say it with her mouth.
Ji Guanxin not only didn't let go, but also put his chin on her shoulder. Tilting his head, his lips almost touched her ears, and he whispered seductively: "I want to sleep with you tonight."
Lu Yao had let him tease her for so long, but her face still hadn't thickened. Lu Yao frowned and replied in a low voice, "Don't tease me, go to the other side."
Ji Guanwen noticed the good smell on her body and couldn't help but kiss her neck. Lu Yao was itchy and scared. After putting down the kitchen knife, she shrank her neck and hit him with her elbow.
While the two were making a fuss in the room, someone knocked on the kitchen door several times. Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao both stopped and she broke away from his arms.
A few seconds later, the door opened and Jiang Rui appeared at the door. Looking at Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao standing side by side, he smiled and said, "Uncle asked me to bring another curtain over. There are too many dumplings."
Lu Yao reacted first. She smiled with a blushing face, walked to the cabinet on the side, reached out to open the cabinet door, and took out a curtain from inside.
Jiang Rui rolled up his sleeves and still had flour in his hands. When Lu Yao handed the curtain to him, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Rui, for coming to my house and letting you do the work yourself."
Jiang Rui smiled lightly and replied: "It's okay, let's pack things together quickly. We'll be done in ten minutes."
Lu Yao said, "Then I'll start cooking now, and we'll have dinner in twenty minutes."
"good."
Jiang Rui walked out with the curtain. When Lu Yao turned around, she saw Ji Guanxin sitting on a chair, leaning over and poking the pretty boy's head with his finger, and said angrily: "It's boring, your mother smiles at others. I'm so happy. It's a shame that we came all the way from Night City to Winter City to see what kind of treatment they are getting. It's so heartbreaking to see us again..."
The pretty boy sat in front of Ji Guanxin. Although he didn't look at it, he didn't dare to move. He just sat there and let him poke his head.
Lu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stood there and called out "little white face" and called him away from Ji Guanxin.
Ji Guanxin turned to look at her, and Lu Yao said, "You are addicted to bullying."
Ji Guanxin raised his eyebrows and replied: "Which one of us is bullying whom? Look at the gentle way you smiled at Jiang Rui just now."
Lu Yao was afraid that the people outside the door would hear, so she couldn't help but frown and reply: "What are you talking about? Brother Rui drove to Ye City to pick me up and brought me back all the way. Isn't it right for me to be polite?"
Ji Guanxin said: "But I don't like the way he looks at you."
Lu Yao replied nonchalantly: "Don't come here, there are many things you don't like."
Ji Guanxin sat alone at the door of the balcony and muttered: "Knowing what the relationship between us is, yet he did not avoid suspicion at all along the way. Today is also a family gathering, and he, an outsider, got involved."
He really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.
Lu Yao seemed to be ignoring him on the surface, but she was not angry in her heart. Because she knew what his temper was, she let him complain behind her.
At around five o'clock in the evening, all the meals and dumplings were prepared. The five of them sat around the table. Lu Baiquan took out wine and wanted to drink some with Ji Guanxin and Jiang Rui.
Lu Yao said subconsciously: "Dad, he can't drink."
Ji Guanxin is still recovering from a cold.
Lu Bai's face showed surprise. He glanced at Lu Yao and then at Ji Guanxin.
Ji Guanxin naturally smiled and said it was okay, and took the initiative to hand over his wine glass.
Lu Yao said: "Dad, he has a cold, don't let him drink."
Upon hearing this, Lu Boquan immediately took back the bottle, asked about Ji Guanxin's condition, and then told him not to drink and eat more vegetables.
Jiang Rui said: "Uncle, let me have a drink with you."
Lu Bai is a wine lover, and on a day like today, he also wants to have a few drinks. Smiling and pouring a glass of liquor for Jiang Rui, he said, "Guan Xin should rest more. If you can't drink, don't drink."
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied: "It's okay, uncle, I'm so quick. I don't drink liquor. I'll drink some beer with you."
Ji Guanxin took the initiative, Lu Baiquan looked at Lu Yao's face, and Lu Yao looked sideways at Ji Guanxin.
Ji Guanxin lovingly stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, I finally came here, don't disappoint uncle. I'll drink less, and you can watch it for me."
This look fell in the eyes of several other people. Lu Baiquan's eyes showed relief, while Lu Chi believed more and more what Lu Yao said before. Ji Guanxin was very good to her. If a man is willing to show weakness to a woman in front of other men, then he must love her.
Jiang Rui also smiled and said, "Don't drink too much, everyone. Yaoyao has cooked the food. Let's all eat more."
Ji Guanxin felt inexplicably uncomfortable every time he listened to Jiang Rui's words. But if Zhen'er asked Jiang Rui what he did wrong, he wouldn't be able to tell for a while.
