Chapter 374: They Crave Meat, He Also Craves ’Meat.
Zhou Siyu, who had just bumped into Shen Mianmian, still felt a bit panicked, constantly looking back as she walked, fearing that Shen Mianmian might follow her quietly. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she turned a corner and could no longer see Shen Mianmian, and then she drove Zhao Xinlan to Song Zhengguo’s house.
Standing at the doorway of Song Zhengguo’s home, both hesitated, neither daring to enter first. To ease the tension in their hearts, Zhao Xinlan asked,
"Have you explained everything to your family?"
"I did," Zhou Siyu nodded, "but we cannot return too late, we must be back before dark."
"Don’t worry! We’ll be back before it gets dark," Zhao Xinlan took a deep breath, trying to sound casual, "Let’s hurry in then! We shouldn’t keep Uncle Song waiting."
Zhou Siyu found this remark somewhat odd. Pushing the cart along, she and Zhao Xinlan entered the courtyard.
Song Zhengguo had just come out of the kitchen with chopsticks in hand, and his eyes shone with a bright light upon seeing them, "You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I was just about to have my meal, why don’t you join me?"
Before they could reply, he went back to the kitchen and brought out two more pairs of chopsticks.
Zhao Xinlan and Zhou Siyu had initially intended to refuse, but upon reaching the main hall and seeing half a basin of chicken meat and a dish of sweet peanuts on the table, they both swallowed hard. The words of refusal were stuck in their throats.
To them, these delicacies were scarcely experience even during festivities, so one could only imagine their temptation.
Song Zhengguo watched the expressions on their faces, and a sleazy smile crept onto his. Handing them the chopsticks, he gestured for them to sit down.
