Chapter 44: There is still a chance
The dishes were all ready, and the three of them sat at the table and prepared to eat. Out of habit, Ye Shaochen took the initiative to help Ji Ning serve the soup.
This habit was also developed later, because I felt that Ji Ning was cooking too hard at home, and she had to do something, otherwise she would be too lonely.
He didn't realize how natural this habit was, and put the soup in front of Ji Ning, Ji Ning blinked and didn't say thank you.
"Brother Shao Chen, I want it too." Tang Jiao watched Ye Shaochen take care of Ji Ning throughout the whole process, and that behavior, like a husband and wife who had lived together for many years, made her feel like a big light bulb.
And Ye Shaochen didn't notice her, and he didn't mean to help her serve soup. Tang Jiao gritted her teeth, could only pick up the bowl, handed it to Ye Shaochen, and coquettishly treated Ye Shaochen.
At least she must be treated the same as Ji Ning in order to eliminate the unwillingness in her heart.
Ye Shaochen had already sat down, glanced at Tang Jiao's bowl, looked at the soup pot again, didn't pick it up, and said lightly: "You are closer, serve it yourself." And you have to stay in shape, I don't know what you can eat and what you can't eat, it's too troublesome. There were many reasons for his resignation.
"Brother Shao Chen, I will eat whatever I want." Tang Jiao didn't follow, the hand that was stretched out didn't retract, and looked at Ye Shaochen stubbornly, as if she wouldn't eat if he didn't move.
Ji Ning glanced up at her and put down her chopsticks: "I'll help you." As she spoke, she was about to pick it up, but Tang Jiao avoided it all of a sudden.
Tang Jiao kicked Ji Ning viciously, and said in a very angry tone: "I'm talking to Brother Shao Chen, what are you talking about?" Is there no such a simple tutor? ”
The word tutor made Ji Ning's figure pause, she lowered her eyes, and her expression was a little lonely. She withdrew her hand, said nothing, and continued to eat.
Feeling Ji Ning's loneliness, Ye Shaochen understood how much Tang Jiao's words hurt Ji Ning. His tone suddenly became stern: "Jiaojiao, don't talk like that!" Even if you don't need your sister-in-law's help, you should say thank you, which is the most basic courtesy. ”
Tang Jiao was stunned, she didn't expect Ye Shaochen's tone to suddenly become so tough. Moisture quickly gushed out of his eyes, and his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
"I said something wrong, I just want soup. If you think I've done something wrong, I'll apologize now, okay. She said aggrievedly, as if she was the one who was bullied, and Ji Ning was the vicious sister-in-law.
"Jiaojiao!" Ye Shaochen stared, there was a nameless fire in his heart, he couldn't see Ji Ning being bullied. He said, "If you do this again, I will have someone take you home now." "It's already non-negotiable.
Tang Jiao knew that she had angered Ye Shaochen, and it was useless to be coquettish again. quickly withdrew his tears, and didn't dare to let Ye Shaochen do it again, so he obediently went to serve the soup.
didn't dare to speak again the whole time, because he was afraid that Ye Shaochen would really send her home.
After drinking the soup, Tang Jiao looked at the dishes on the table, and the eldest lady's temper broke out again. "Why are there green peppers? I hate eating this thing the most, it's disgusting. She dislikes Ji Ning's cooking.
"And carrots, they are all things I don't like to eat, Ji Ning, did you mean it!" Tang Jiao put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Ji Ning unhappily.
Ji Ning ate with relish: "If you don't like to eat, you can order takeout, there is a takeout order on the refrigerator, you can take a look." She didn't care about Tang Jiao's unreasonable troubles at all.
Tang Jiao choked, and then turned her gaze to Ye Shaochen: "Brother Shaochen......" She opened her mouth softly, and specially moved the chair to get closer to Ye Shaochen.
Grabbing Ye Shaochen's arm with both hands, he shook it affectionately, like a little girlfriend being coquettish: "I don't like to eat these things, why don't you cook me a bowl of noodles to eat?" ”
At the end, he added: "I'm not a picky eater, just ordinary noodles." ”
The sound was almost dripping, and most people must have crispy bones when they heard it. However, Ji Ning thought that Ye Shaochen was also a person who had been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and he would definitely not eat this set.
Because she was so relieved, Ji Ning didn't look up to pay attention to the interaction between the two at all, and continued to eat her own meal, as if she was a bystander.
Ye Shaochen was very dissatisfied with Tang Jiao's current performance, which made him feel very annoying, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that Ji Ning would misunderstand. He raised his head without a trace, pretending to glance at Ji Ning casually, wanting to see what her reaction was.
It's okay not to look at it, but seeing Ji Ning's unwavering expression, Ye Shaochen's heart chuckled, and he felt that a serious blow had been hit somewhere in his heart, which had never been seen in more than 20 years.
He was so close to other women, Ji Ning was not angry.
Ye Shaochen snorted coldly in his heart, thinking that Ji Ning might be pretending to be calm. Thinking so, he responded to Tang Jiao's words and said to her: "Okay, I'll cook it for you now, and you drink the soup first." The tone was much softer than just now, and even Tang Jiao herself was startled, thinking that she had heard it wrong.
After reacting, Tang Jiao hurriedly responded delicately and said, "I still want to eat poached eggs, is it okay?" "Eyes flashing wide, voice sweet and greasy.
Ye Shaochen got up, glanced at Ji Ning, and said while rolling up his sleeves, "Okay." His eyes were not on Tang Jiao's body at all, but on Ji Ning's expression.
It's a pity that Ji Ning is still indifferent.
When Ye Shaochen left his seat, Ji Ning spoke, but only reminded him: "There are no noodles and eggs at home." "She knows what is at home.
Among the recipes she learned, she didn't see any instructions on how to cook noodles, they were all local specialties, so she didn't prepare them.
There are eggs, but she'll save them for tomorrow to cook breakfast.
"Going out, ten minutes by car, there is a supermarket where you can buy noodles and eggs." She kindly told Ye Shaochen the solution.
Tang Jiao was so angry that her face was distorted, but she couldn't pick on it, these things didn't have it, she couldn't let Ji Ning go out and buy it now.
Ye Shaochen returned to his seat, he took a bite of the green pepper, and it tasted good. Ji Ning had given it to him before, and he had praised it. As everyone knows, whenever he says a delicious dish, Ji Ning will make it a second time.
Ye Shaochen said to Tang Jiao: "These dishes are very delicious, can you try them?" ”
"If you don't eat it, it's hard to eat." Tang Jiao turned her face away and was still losing her temper.
Ji Ning quietly took away all the food in front of Tang Jiao: "Since you don't like to eat, then I'll eat it myself." Anyway, you celebrities like to lose weight, and you won't starve to death if you eat less. ”
She didn't have the leisure to coax a young lady.
Of course, if Tang Jiao gave her money and hired her to stir-fry, she would definitely obey Tang Jiao's words, but well, she didn't want to make Tang Jiao's money, so Tang Jiao didn't have such a chance.
The food was taken away, Tang Jiao was angry, and hugged Ye Shaochen's arm again, seeking comfort.
Ye Shaochen was silent, ignored Tang Jiao, and ate by himself.
Tang Jiao, who was ignored, was red-faced, and she couldn't save face, so she could only barely eat other dishes. At the end of a meal, she was almost full.
However, through this meal, Tang Jiao found a very important point. That is, Ji Ning didn't care about Ye Shaochen's interaction with her at all, no matter how intimate she was, Ji Ning was not shocked. And Ye Shaochen was also indifferent to Ji Ning and didn't talk to her much.
This looks like deliberately acting for others to show and tell others that they are very affectionate, but in fact, the two have no feelings at all!
This idea became stronger and stronger, and Tang Jiao felt that she had to give it a try. So when Ji Ning went to wash the dishes, Tang Jiao deliberately ran to Ye Shaochen's side.
"Brother Shao Chen, I feel like I have something in my eyes, you can help me take a look." She tilted her head and blinked.
Ye Shaochen was about to go upstairs, but when Tang Jiao shouted, he stopped. Ask: "Which eye?" ”
Tang Jiao pointed to her left eye and said, "It may be that the eyelashes fell in and there is a tingling sensation, but I can't find it myself, you can help me take a look." As she spoke, she deliberately stood on tiptoe to shorten the distance between herself and Ye Shaochen.
Ye Shaochen didn't know Tang Jiao's caution, he just thought that her eyes were really hurting, so he bent down and looked at Tang Jiao's eyes seriously: "I'll take a look." ”
looked very seriously, but I didn't notice that Ji Ning had already washed the dishes and chopsticks, walked out of the kitchen, and happened to see this scene.
Ji Ning's figure was obvious, the water droplets on her hands were dripping down, and she wiped a few times on her apron and wiped her hands dry.
Then stepped forward and walked in front of the two, Ye Shaochen stopped his movements and looked at her. Tang Jiao also held her breath, thinking that Ji Ning was going to be angry.
"Let's go, I'm going upstairs." As a result, Ji Ning said something that was shocking.
Ye Shaochen's hand stiffened, forgetting that he was pinching Tang Jiao's eyelids, his fingers were slightly forced, pinching Tang Jiao's skin out of the redness, or after Tang Jiao exclaimed in pain, he lowered his eyes and let go of his hand.
"Go to bed early." Throwing down this sentence, Ji Ning bypassed Ye Shaochen and went upstairs slowly. Her steps were steady, and every stroke was knocking on Ye Shaochen's heart.
Tang Jiao didn't give up, and shouted softly: "Brother Shao Chen, my eyes." She reminded Ye Shaochen. I pinched it just now, but it hurt her enough.
"Ahem." Ye Shaochen coughed dryly, and whispered to Ying Ji Ning. It wasn't until Ji Ning went upstairs that he heard the sound of the room door being slammed back, that he was relieved.
Looking at Tang Jiao in front of him, he suddenly let go of his hand, waved his hand at Tang Jiao, and said, "There is a mirror in the bathroom, you go to the mirror and take a look." He turned around and wanted to go upstairs.
Tang Jiao was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Ye Shaochen's clothes: "Brother Shaochen, can't you help me blow it?" Tang Jiao's words echoed in the empty living room, and the voice was particularly clear, Ye Shaochen didn't know if Ji Ning heard it.
Helpless, he could only cope with a few blows to Tang Jiao, and then went upstairs with a calm face.
Tang Jiao's goal was achieved, she hooked her lips, she had confirmed that there was no relationship between Ye Shaochen and Ji Ning, which meant that she still had a chance!
