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 does it mean to give you dessert?
I'll give you something from our dining table - it's a great way to borrow flowers and offer them to the 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 best friend of the second sister-in-law's sister, her surname seems to be Qi, and the second sister-in-law keeps calling her "Xiao Qi".
I came here two days ago with my in-laws and his family of three."
Lin Qingzhi also had an innocent look on his face and answered 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 me and third brother a gift?
At least thirty people had dinner together just now, why didn’t she send the others away?”
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 dared not 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 it was a case of mistaken identity.
I never like sweet things."
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, she said just now that you didn't eat, so she brought it here specially for 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.
A beautiful woman has good intentions, but it hurts to let her down.
There were so many people eating together just now, and I didn't even bother to entertain you. Instead, the guest lady who was far away kept paying attention to you. She even knew clearly whether you had eaten blood swallow.
Ashamed, ashamed, it seems I really did not treat you well."
Lin Qingzhi smiled bitterly to himself and said warmly: "I have already regarded myself as a member of Xinyuan, so I don't need to bother to entertain you.
There is no need for any politeness between you and me."
"No way!"
Cheng Huanchong rolled up the sleeves of his sweater slowly and said: "It's your first time coming 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 were guests at home.
I care deeply about you.
She knew everything clearly even though she was sitting far away, but I sat aside and had no idea.
Mr. Qing, I'm sorry, I was derelict in my duty."
Lin Qingzhi couldn't laugh or cry and coughed lightly.
"I am one of my own, I don't need to entertain you.
It's just that the guest misunderstood him because of his misunderstanding. You don't have to take it personally.
I am very happy to finally have the opportunity to come to Xinyuan for New Year’s Eve dinner.”
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 little incident, but he got jealous for no reason. How innocent he was! “Yeah.”
Cheng Huanchong nodded seriously, his voice as calm as water: "With more than thirty people eating together, it's not easy for the guests to recognize you at a glance but not others."
Lin Qingzhi: “… What kind of dry vinegar is this?
As for that?
He didn't dare to ask for the kindness of others, and it was too troublesome for him to even be tainted by it.
Is it easy for him?
It is indeed not easy enough! Chen Xinzhi's brows moved slightly, and he felt 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, next time I will leave an extra box or two for you to bring back."
"Need not."
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-looking one and 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.
Regardless of whether you are with me or not, apart from family and friends, all women are just passers-by to me.
We have a car to ride in. It’s very unsafe to drive a motorcycle in the snow, so let’s forget about the helmet this time.”
Xue Xin pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to look at Lin Qingzhi on the other side.
"You, you are no better than standing with Mr. Qing.
His temperament is more attractive to young ladies than yours.
The young lady placed the bird's nest between you, but her eyes kept blinking towards Young Master Qing, obviously she was attracted to 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, winking at you and giving you blood swallows - you are so enthusiastic! Young Master Qing, you have to break the flowers when they are blooming, don't wait until the flowers are gone and you can break the branches.
The beauty is so kind, and if you let her down like this, you will break her 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 saw it too.
Young Master Qing’s charm is really good! Come to my house for a New Year’s Eve dinner and you will attract bees and butterflies. The spring flowers haven’t bloomed yet, but you are already filling the garden with your 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 freezing cold, so how can I have any intention of admiring flowers, not to mention I’ve never had any intention of admiring flowers.”
Cheng Huanchong laughed and hit him twice on the shoulder. He looked gentle and slow, but in fact he used hidden force.
"Yeah?
That would be such a pity.
The falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is ruthless.
Mr. Qing, you are too ruthless."
Lin Qingzhi frowned, but did not dare to ask for mercy. He still sat calmly and elegantly.
Okay, okay, as long as he doesn't get angry, as long as he doesn't ridicule openly or subtly, he can take any number of punches to himself, 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!
