Xue Xin watched Xiao Qi twisting and turning away with charming steps, squinting her eyes and staring at Chen Xinzhi who was standing aside.
"Who is she? What do you mean by giving you desserts? I'll give you something from our table - it's like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!"
Chen Xinzhi shook his head innocently: "I don't recognize him."
Cheng Huanchong glanced at Lin Qingzhi from the corner of his eyes, his voice was calm but with an obvious coldness.
"You haven't been at home these past few days, so you don't recognize her. She is the second sister-in-law's best friend, and her surname seems to be Qi. The second sister-in-law keeps calling her 'Xiao Qi'. She came here two days ago with my in-laws and his family of three."
Lin Qingzhi also looked innocent and replied with a desire to survive: "I don't recognize him either."
When Xue Xin heard that she was a relative of the second sister-in-law, her expression softened a little.
"Then what does she mean by giving you bird's nests? Ah? Why didn't she give them to me and my third brother? Just now at least thirty people gathered together for dinner, why didn't she give them to others?"
Chen Xinzhi stretched out his hand to push the small stew pot far away, and said warmly: "I don't even know her, how can I know why she didn't give it to others. Maybe I was blind and saw the wrong person."
Lin Qingzhi has always been self-restrained, but when faced with his lover's questioning eyes, he didn't dare to show any self-restraint. He directly screwed the stew pot back onto the revolving dining table and wiped the tips of his hands gracefully.
"Perhaps I was mistaken. I never like sweets."
Cheng Huanchong twitched the corner of his mouth and his voice was cold.
"That bird's nest is not an ordinary bird's nest, it is a very precious blood bird's nest. Mr. Qing, just now she said that you didn't eat it, so she specially sent it to you to eat. This young lady is so thoughtful, are you sure you want to let down her good intentions?"
Lin Qingzhi lowered his handsome face and smiled fondly.
"I don't eat sweets. No matter how much I try, I will only let you down."
Cheng Huanchong let out a long "Oh" and said softly: "That's such a pity. It hurts to let down such a beautiful woman with such good intentions. There were so many people eating together just now, and I didn't even bother to entertain you. Instead, I left."
The lady who is a guest from far away has been paying attention to you, and she even knows whether you have eaten blood swallow. I am ashamed of myself, it seems that I did not treat you well."
Lin Qingzhi smiled bitterly to himself and said warmly: "I have long regarded myself as a member of Xinyuan and don't have to bother to entertain. There is no need for any politeness between you and me."
"No way!" Cheng Huanchong slowly rolled up the sleeves of his sweater and said, "It's the first time you came to my house for New Year's Eve dinner, but I was busy chatting with Xiaoxin. I didn't even know how much you ate and whether you were full or not.
Fortunately, there is a guest at home who cares about you very much. She knows everything clearly even though she is sitting far away, but I am sitting aside and have no idea. Mr. Qing, I'm sorry, I have neglected my duty."
Lin Qingzhi couldn't laugh or cry and coughed lightly.
"I'm one of my own, so I don't have to entertain. It's just that the guests can't recognize each other with their eyes, so you don't have to take it personally. I finally have the opportunity to come to Xinyuan for New Year's Eve dinner, and I'm very happy."
This is the truth.
The two finally made great progress, and he was finally willing to let himself come to Xinyuan to walk around more - this was the happiest thing for him during the Chinese New Year this year.
It was just a small incident, but he got jealous for no reason. How innocent he was!
"Yes." Cheng Huanchong nodded seriously, his voice as calm as water: "More than thirty people are dining together. It's not easy for the guests to recognize you at first sight but not others."
Lin Qingzhi: "...
What kind of jealousy is this? As for what? He doesn’t dare to ask for other people’s eagerness at all, and it’s troublesome to even get the slightest bit of it. Is it easy for him? It’s indeed not easy!
Chen Xinzhi's brows moved slightly, feeling that the sour smell in the air was too strong, so he coughed slightly and changed the subject.
"The quality of this batch of blood swallows is good, but the quantity is a bit small. I only sent one box. Xiaoxin, I will leave one or two more boxes for you to bring back next time."
"No need." Xue Xin hummed, "I'm tired of it."
Chen Xinzhi smiled fondly: "The blood swallow tastes better, let's change the taste."
Xue Xin glanced at Lin Qingzhi, remembering that the woman was ogling him just now, and felt a little better.
"Brother Tietou, luckily she didn't wink at you, otherwise I would have had to find a motorcycle helmet to cover you tonight. Don't worry, I will find the best one to make sure you look good."
Chen Xinzhi smiled bitterly and hugged her slender waist.
"If you want me to look good, I will look good. No matter whether you are with me or not, except for my relatives and friends, all women are passers-by to me. We have cars to ride in, and it is very unsafe to drive a motorcycle in the snow.
Just forget about the helmet once."
Xue Xin pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to look at Lin Qingzhi on the other side.
"You, there is nothing better than standing next to Mr. Qing. His temperament is more attractive to young ladies than you. The young lady placed the bird's nest between you, but her eyes kept blinking at Mr. Qing, obviously she took a fancy to him.
It’s him!”
Lin Qingzhi smiled bitterly to himself. He really wanted to hold his temples and take a few deep breaths, but his good upbringing prevented him from doing so at this moment.
Sister, you didn’t trick me enough and you had to push me into the fire pit, didn’t you?
Chen Xinzhi on the side wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, so he quietly gave him a "I pity you" look.
Xue Xin didn't know about it at all, maybe because she didn't like Gong's anger enough to burn Qing Shao's beautiful eyebrows, so she joked happily.
"Young lady keeps staring at you, flirting with you and giving you blood swallows - you are so enthusiastic! Young Master Qing, you can't wait to break the branches when they bloom. You are so kind to a beauty.
If you fail me, you will break the girl’s heart!”
Lin Qingzhi said "Uh-huh", probably because very few people dared to ridicule him in such a blatant way, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Cheng Huanchong stood up gently and put his slender white hands on Lin Qingzhi's shoulders.
"Yes, I've seen it too. Young Master Qing's charm is really good! Come to my house for a New Year's Eve dinner and you'll attract bees and butterflies. The spring flowers haven't bloomed yet, but you're already filling the garden with fragrance!"
Lin Qingzhi's eyes twitched in embarrassment and smiled elegantly.
"I don't like perfume, so how can I attract bees and butterflies? The Spring Festival is here, but spring is still far away. It's snowy outside and it's freezing cold. How can I have any intention to appreciate flowers, let alone I never have the intention to appreciate flowers.
"
Cheng Huanchong laughed and hit him twice on the shoulder. He looked gentle and slow, but in fact he used hidden force.
"Really? That's a pity. Falling flowers are careless, and flowing water is ruthless. Young Master Qing, you are too ruthless."
Lin Qingzhi frowned, but did not dare to ask for mercy. He still sat calm and elegant.
Okay, okay, as long as he doesn't get angry, as long as he doesn't ridicule openly or subtly, he can bear any number of punches, no matter how painful it is.
Chen Xinzhi on the side suppressed a smile, feeling that his shoulder seemed to be hurting secretly.
It seems that I can’t sit too close to Mr. Qing next time.
This fish disaster is so bad, he doesn't want to get in any way!
