After moving into this house, Zhuang Yibo almost always ate on the coffee table in front of the sofa, because he could watch TV while eating and distract himself from his thoughts.
And tonight, she and Shen Wangjin sat at the small dining table together.
She was holding the rice bowl, but she almost covered her face. She just immersed herself in eating, not picking up food or talking.
Seeing this, Shen Wangjin slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, just leaned back in the chair, folded his arms and looked at her quietly.
After this weird situation continued for a while, Zhuang Yibo finally slowly raised his head and glanced at him.
"Why don't you eat?" she asked in a low voice.
"I'll wait until you finish eating before eating," Shen Wangjin said, "in case you think the food isn't enough and don't dare to use your chopsticks."
Of course, Zhuang Yibo could hear what he meant. After a moment of pause, he slowly put down the bowl in his hand and began to put vegetables into his own bowl.
This time Shen Wangjin did move, but he just leaned forward, resting his hands on the dining table, still just looking at her.
Zhuang Yibo suddenly felt at a loss. He couldn't move his hands or move the chopsticks.
Finally, she raised her hand and put the vegetables she picked into his bowl.
Shen Wangjin looked at her actions and seemed to be a little satisfied now, and picked up the chopsticks again.
However, before he could take a bite, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The moment he heard the doorbell, Zhuang Yibo's heart twitched uncontrollably.
She had few friends and acquaintances, and the only person who knew she lived here was Qianxing... Who would ring her doorbell so late?
As she thought this, Shen Wangjin stood up and stepped forward to open the door.
"Wangjin! It's so great to see you! You're finally back! I'm so worried!"
Hearing Zhuang Zhonghong's voice from outside the door, Zhuang Yibo couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes, then stood up and walked to the bedroom.
"I didn't mean to disturb you. The main reason is that Yibo moved out alone and the phone can't be reached. I'm really worried -"
Zhuang Zhonghong grabbed Shen Wangjin's hand and was talking excitedly when he suddenly heard a "bang" of the door closing from inside.
Zhuang Zhonghong was stunned for a moment, then looked inside again and said, "Is Yibo... okay?"
After hearing this, Shen Wangjin curled his lips a little coldly, looked at him and said, "Frankly speaking, I also want to know if anything is wrong with her."
Zhuang Zhonghong's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
…
Zhuang Yibo sat on his bed, his heart beating a little fast, and his face turned slightly pale.
She had never done anything like this before, standing up and walking away without saying a word in front of someone, slamming the door and avoiding him. What's more, this person was her father.
The education she received since childhood did not allow her to do such a thing, but she just did it.
She was sitting there in a daze when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhuang Yibo suddenly raised his eyes, and when he saw Shen Wangjin, his heart suddenly relaxed.
Shen Wangjin slowly walked up to her, bent down and looked at her, "Are you okay?"
She nodded slightly, "It's okay."
"Is everything okay?" Shen Wangjin asked again.
She still just nodded, but never said a word.
Shen Wangjin still didn't move. She paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but stretched out her hands, hugged him, and buried her face between his chest and abdomen.
She didn't move or make a sound, but Shen Wangjin still noticed the wetness.
After a long time, she finally said in a hoarse voice: "I have no parents anymore..."
After hearing this, Shen Wangjin reached out his hand and slowly raised her chin.
