Chapter 91: Refusal
The four of them sat down to eat, and at the dinner table, Jiang Xiaorui took care of Tong Zhenghao's taste just right, and stood up intimately and served him a bowl of pork rib soup, "I added some medicinal herbs to the soup, which is very nourishing to the body, drink more." β
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Tong Zhenghao, who was suddenly taken care of, was flattered and took the soup bowl.
A tender and sweet smile appeared on Jiang Xiaorui's face, she glanced at Jiang Xuanzong, and said softly, "It's too raw to call Teacher Jiang, just call Sister Xiaorui, I'm not much older than you." β
She is very kind, and her words and deeds give people a very comfortable feeling, especially because she is beautiful, Tong Zhenghao, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, is the age when he is curious and fantasizing about the opposite sex, and he is easily moved by her gentle attitude.
He blinked his eyes, and suddenly his words became a lot closer, "Then I will call you Sister Xiaorui in the future, but I still have to call Teacher Jiang at school, so that my classmates don't think I'm a relation!"
He said this with a bit of a joking meaning, and squeezed his eyebrows at his cousin behind his back.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiaorui's cheeks were slightly red for a moment.
Jiang Xuanzong frowned slightly, he knew that his cousin must have misunderstood the relationship between him and Jiang Xiaorui, but he could also see from some clues that Jiang Xiaorui was indeed a little different from himself, and refuted the face of the girl who hurt him.
Especially this time, Jiang Xiaorui helped him cook, and there was kindness in it.
What he had been thinking about before was to pack and bring it back from the restaurant, but it was Jiang Xiaorui's brother Jiang Ruijie who went behind his back and directly called Jiang Xiaorui to cook for him.
Jiang Xiaorui waited at his door for almost an afternoon, and after being rejected by Jiang Xuanzong, she still did not give up asking for help from him, and she refused to leave while standing outside the door.
At that time, he was worried that it would not be good for a lonely man and a widow to stand at the door, so he had no choice but to bring someone in.
Later, Jiang Xiaorui knew that he had someone to entertain today, and he persuaded him, Jiang Xuanzong changed his mind, after all, she was right about one thing, no matter how good the food in the restaurant was, it was not as clean and nutritious as at home, Jiang Xuanzong made such a show today in order to treat the two children, and finally asked Jiang Xiaorui to help after thinking about it again.
Unexpectedly, it made his cousin misunderstand, Jiang Xuanzong had a headache, and planned to explain it to him after the meal, and also explain it to Jiang Xiaorui.
Xin Andong ate very little, a table full of delicacies with color and aroma, he had no appetite, his chopsticks barely moved, and he only stared listlessly at the half bowl of rice in front of him.
As if he had to endure torture, he didn't let go of the slightest sound of Tong Zhenghao and Jiang Xiaorui talking happily in his ears, and inevitably, he scolded Tong Zhenghao, a traitor, a hundred times in his heart.
Jiang Xuanzong saw that he hadn't eaten a few bites of food, and was a little worried, as he had done in Tong's house before, he intimately sandwiched a chopstick Jiang Xiaorui to cook the vinegar fish in West Lake, and persuaded, "This fish is good, you can taste it." β
He was familiar with his movements, as if he had done it thousands of times, which surprised Jiang Xiaorui, who was always paying attention to him on the side, just now in the kitchen, she already knew that Tong Zhenghao was Xuanzong's cousin, but she didn't expect him to be good to Xin Andong.
Jiang Xiaorui was a little cramped, and was a little worried about whether Xin Andong would be unhappy because he only took care of Tong Zhenghao and didn't take care of him before, if it was serious, maybe he would say bad things about her in front of Xuanzong.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaorui was very flustered, and when she saw the roasted chicken wings in front of her, she immediately brought them to Xin Andong, bit her lower lip and smiled hard, "Eat chicken wings, the seasoning is specially prepared by me, well, Xuanzong said that you like to eat chicken wings, you come and taste it, how does this taste of what I made, Andong, can you give the teacher a face?"
She lowered her posture as if she were pleading.
Xin Andong poked the fish in the bowl so hard that his lungs were about to explode.
Jiang Xuanzong told Jiang Xiaorui that he likes to eat chicken wings?
Your sister's chicken wings!
, he doesn't want to eat human flesh now!
At this time, Xin Andong also made Jiang Xuanzong angry, you have to show affection in front of him, right, he raised his head and glared at Jiang Xuanzong, endured the grievances and bitterness in his heart, forced a smile and raised his chopsticks to clip a chicken wing, pretended to like it very much and took a bite, and nodded and said, "It's delicious." β
No matter how much he pretended, he couldn't pretend to be it.
So he treated the chicken wings as Jiang Xuanzong, gnawed without raising his head, chewed the meat and chewed the bones, Kazkaz, and vented his anger.
In fact, it was just when Jiang Xiaorui was roasting chicken wings, Jiang Xuanzong happened to see it, and thought that the young man especially liked to eat braised chicken wings, so he casually mentioned it.
He didn't expect to be remembered by Jiang Xiaorui.
Although the intimacy in Jiang Xiaorui's words made him feel uncomfortable, but seeing that the young man really liked to eat chicken wings, he immediately forgot all his concerns, and cooperated with Jiang Xiaorui to tacitly serve vegetables to Xin Andong.
Jiang Xuanzong: "Come, this dish is good, sour and spicy, which is very much in line with your appetite." β
Jiang Xiaorui: "Eat more vegetables, vitamins are very important. β
Jiang Xiaorui: "Serve you a bowl of soup, eat slowly, don't choke." β
Jiang Xiaorui: "The boy should eat more when he grows up, and I'll serve you another bowl of rice, right?"
Gross!
Xin Andong was forced to turn blue by these two neuropaths, he began to be stupid, what to eat, this will make his stomach swollen, and he will be sick to his stomach when he smells the smell of vegetables, so he hurriedly waved his hand, lowered his eyes and said angrily, "I'm full, I can't eat." β
Jiang Xuanzong & Jiang Xiaorui held chopsticks awkwardly.
Jiang Xiaorui followed Jiang Xuanzong, and she was at a loss for a while.
Jiang Xuanzong put down his chopsticks, looked at Xin Andong apologetically, and patted his hand softly on his back, "If you can't eat it, forget it, Brother Zong doesn't care, forgive Brother Zong." β
Just now, he wanted An Dong to eat the dishes he sandwiched, but he was naΓ―ve as if he was comparing himself with Jiang Xiaorui, and finally suffered An Dong.
Jiang Xuanzong was embarrassed and regretted by his stupid behavior.
"You two are almost done, Dongzi has already felt your full love, and his child's temper has long been gone," Tong Zhenghao sneered, put down his chopsticks, and stretched his waist, "Full of wine and food, the master ate very hard today, thank you cousin and sister-in-law for entertaining!"
He hugged his fist like a treasure, grinned and said very intimately, "I'll leave with Dongzi, don't disturb the relationship between the two of you, don't forget that we will be delicious in the future!"
As soon as his voice fell, the faces of the three people at the table changed greatly.
"Smack!"
Xin Andong shook off Jiang Xuanzong's hand on his back, slapped it on the table, and stood up with a cold face.
His delicate cheeks were as cold as white jade under the dizzy yellow light, like a brush, and his carefully carved eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in an impenetrable layer of depression.
"Let's go. β
He pulled Tong Zhenghao away until he closed the door, and he didn't look at Jiang Xuanzong more.
"Hey, hey, Fuyuko, wait for me!"
Out of the door, Xin Andong ran downward, the lights in the corridor were a little dim, Tong Zhenghao saw that he was running too fast and was worried about something, so he shouted anxiously in the back.
Hurry up and catch up with Xin Andong, even Tong Zhenghao couldn't help but gasp, he supported his waist with his hands, and asked, "What are you running, there is no wolf chasing behind, how old are you and you are still playing with me to see who can run the game faster?!"
In response to him, Xin Andong bent over and held his knees on the side of the road and kept vomiting.
"Vomit, vomit, evil ......"
His slender neck had a sense of fragility that could easily be broken under the streetlights.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Tong Zhenghao found out the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly rushed forward, only to see that Xin Andong just kept gagging, but he didn't spit out anything, but Tong Zhenghao didn't suspect that he was joking, because his face was too ugly, so white that he couldn't speak, because of the ** who vomited rapidly, and the blue blood vessels in his neck were clearly visible.
Xin Andong only felt dizzy, at this time he actually didn't know what was wrong, he just felt sick to his stomach, and what he had eaten just now seemed to be rebelling in his stomach, which made him very uncomfortable.
He didn't want Tong Zhenghao to worry, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, I'm a little uncomfortable, you can help me back to the bedroom, I'll just sleep." β
"What kind of fart are you farting!"
Tong Zhenghao scolded him directly, "You go back to the dorm room like this, I'll take you to the hospital!" Without saying a word, he put Xin Andong's arm around his neck, almost carrying him away, his face was irritable to the point of not being good, but his voice was extraordinarily gentle, and he was chattering all the way, "If you want to vomit, you can vomit, I'm not so particular, if you spit on me, just wash me tomorrow, I won't let you lose money, don't hold back, do you hear?"
Little poor Xin Andong lay on top of him, curled the corners of his mouth, and his throat was very dry: "Well, I know." β
Even if he is out of love, he still has a good brother, and he never abandons him, he may not have failed to a certain point as a man, and he thinks about it in the bitter winter.
After Xin Andong and Tong Zhenghao left, only Jiang Xuanzong and Jiang Xiaorui were left in the room, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Jiang Xuanzong's brows were tightly locked, he was still thinking about the face that was wrong when An Dong left in the end, as if he was suppressing something between his eyebrows, and the sadness that flashed in his eyes, he wondered if he was wrong.
Jiang Xiaorui was different, her cheeks were crimson, and the shock of Tong Zhenghao's cousin-in-law at the end was too great and too impactful, making her heart so excited at this time that she didn't know what to do.
She thought that she should have obtained the consent of Xuanzong's family.
"Xuanzongβ"
During this period of ambiguity, she decided to tell the truth, only hoping that Xuanzong's heart was the same as her, Jiang Xiaorui's heart was so nervous that she was about to jump out of her throat.
"Thank you Miss Jiang for your help this time, your cooking skills are great, everyone is very happy, thank you," Jiang Xuanzong came out with a box, smiled, handed the box to Jiang Xiaorui, and said softly, "Here are some tea leaves, peach crisps, canned food, my little heart, please be sure to accept it." β
The unspoken words were swallowed back by Jiang Xiaorui, her eyes widened in surprise, and she waved her hand again and again, "No, I came to help voluntarily, how can I ask for your things, I can't take them, you can take them back." β
No matter how stupid Jiang Xiaorui was, she could see Jiang Xuanzong's politeness and detachment, she helped the other party cook, and he returned her gifts, which were not mixed with a little human touch.
This hurt Jiang Xiaorui, who was infatuated with Jiang Xuanzong.
Jiang Xuanzong has always been a very gentleman, but this time he was very resolute, "Miss Jiang has helped me so much, I can't repay it, this is just a little thanks, I know Miss Jiang is my friend, but please also ask Miss Jiang not to see outside, you are Ruijie's sister, and it should be my sister, this is a gift from my brother to my sister, I hope you can accept it." β
If she is really her sister, why is she a Miss Jiang?
Is she so terrible that he can't avoid him like a beast of the sea?
Jiang Xiaorui also has her dignity, her pride, she understands Jiang Xuanzong's refusal, if she continues to mess around and just bring humiliation on herself, she will not do that.
So she took the gift box tremblingly and lowered her head in pain, "Thank you." After saying that, it was as if his strength had been drained.
This man whose heart is harder than a stone, she can't enter his heart after all.
Jiang Xiaorui accepted the gift box, and Jiang Xuanzong breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not sorry in his heart, but he has always acted like this, decisive and resolute, and never allowed to drag mud and water. Especially in the relationship between men and women, the emotional experience of his parents touched him deeply, since he was not tempted, then don't give each other expectations, cut through the mess quickly, this is good for both parties.
