Chapter 655: Learn a Lesson
Cheng Xining sat through a long train journey, only to arrive here and stay busy. Eventually feeling tired, she quieted down, leaned on the sofa, and watched TV with Shen Mianmian.
After watching for a while, she found it boring and directed Shen Mianmian to change the channel. Shen Mianmian didn’t get angry and helped her switch through several.
Before long, the meal in the kitchen was ready. With the addition of one more person and the New Year occasion, He Nan had made three dishes and a soup, well-balanced between meat and vegetables. The aroma of the food wafted through the house, making Shen Mianmian’s stomach growl loudly.
Cheng Xining was also hungry since she had only eaten before boarding the train. After boarding, the odd smells on the train made her lose her appetite. Now seeing the delicious food He Nan had cooked, she was so excited she almost jumped up.
The three of them sat down to eat, and Cheng Xining picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Despite her hunger, she ate very delicately, without any sign of wolfing down her food, due to her upbringing.
"Brother Nan, your cooking is really delicious. This is the first time I’ve eaten food cooked by you," she said, then added while blushing and biting her chopstick, "I wish I could eat like this all the time."
The implication wasn’t much different from a confession.
Shen Mianmian pretended to not understand anything and sneakily glanced at He Nan, catching her eye with his. Her heart guilty, she quickly lowered her head and concentrated on her meal.
Brother He didn’t like others gossiping, especially when he was the male protagonist at hand.
Had she committed a big taboo?
While Shen Mianmian was wildly guessing, He Nan said sternly, "If you don’t want to spend New Year’s Eve at a hotel, then keep your mouth shut tight."
