3RYB 31.2




Wen Renjing stood at the door, smiling and waving at Gu Qi: "Good afternoon, Elder Sister."

Gu Qi found it strange and asked: "Why did you come?"

"My mother read Weibo and felt that you are particularly pitiful. So her sense of superiority reappeared and told me to comfort you." 

Wen Renjing answered like this. He put up an act of covering his lips because he 'knew that he had said something wrong' and said exaggeratedly: "Sorry, did I say something wrong."

Gu Qi: "... That's enough, stop acting."

"Okay." Wen Renjing was very 'obedient'. He immediately put down his hand, and lolled against the door frame with a twinkle in his eyes: "In fact, it's not entirely because of my mother's order. I also want to see if Elder Sister is secretly crying at home. After all, I haven't seen such a scene."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a strange hobby of watching people cry." Gu Qi calmly withdrew her hand holding the door handle and said: "I'm so sorry to disappoint you."

Wen Renjing didn't treat himself as an outsider and followed Gu Qi into the apartment. At the sight of the piles of tissues in the living room trash can, he remarked with interest: "So Elder Sister can lie too."

She said she didn't cry, but in fact she was very sad and vulnerable, just like the time he saw her by chance when he was younger.

Unlike his mother who always told him how painful it was after his father's death, Gu Qi never told Jiang Lechuan about it.

To some extent, he really envied Jiang Lechuan. Because of ignorance, he didn't have to bear anything these years.

As Gu Qi said.

They couldn't do anything or help. The more they knew, the more pain they naturally suffered.

Gu Qi looked at Wen Renjing with a look of 'Are you okay?' and said: "You're talking about this? Jiang Lechuan was crying."

Although it was mainly Ning Xiwei's, Gu Qi still gave the girl some face and didn't mention her.

Wen Renjing: "?"

When he looked up, he saw Jiang Lechuan sitting at the dining table not far away. 

Oh, and also that Ning Xiwei.

Wen Renjing showed a trace of confusion in his eyes, and said: "They have nowhere to go? Why are they all in your house?"

He deliberately raised his voice to make sure Jiang Lechuan and Ning Xiwei could hear it.

Ning Xiwei: "?"

What do you mean by this?

How come this Wen Renjing was as annoying as Jiang Lechuan? Was it their business if she sticks to Gu Qi?

Jiang Lechuan was also irked.

Gotta be kidding, right? This was his biological elder sister. He should be the one asking this question, alright?

In the end.

Wen Renjing sat at the table and another pair of chopsticks were added.

Fortunately, Ning Xiwei cooked a large table of dishes to prove her cooking skills. If not, it would not be enough to eat even if the number of people doubled.

Still, Ning Xiwei was speechless.

She personally cooked for Gu Qi. It had nothing to do with Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan. 

Two people came to freeload and each of them acted like she shouldn't be here.

Really...

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!!!

But with Gu Qi present, Ning Xiwei could only suppress her dissatisfaction and clipped food for Gu Qi with a sensible expression.

There were four crabs on the plate. It just so happened there were four people.

Ning Xiwei clipped the biggest one and put it in Gu Qi's bowl first.

And at this moment.

The knock on the door sounded again.

Gu Qi: "."

Her paper was finally coming.

So Gu Qi got up again and opened the door——

Silence. 

She found Mu Yuan standing at the door and was holding a big bag of paper in his hand: "The delivery man gave it to me jukst now."

Gu Qi nodded to show that she understood. It was obvious that Mu Yuan and the delivery man bumped into each other. Still, her mood was a bit tangled and she asked: "Did Paternal Aunt also see the hot search and ask you to come?"

Mu Yuan was slightly stunned. Then he nodded and handed over a small piece of cake in his hand.

Actually not.

My parents went to the countryside to help an old grandpa repair his house these two days, so they probably didn't have time to pay attention to these things on the Internet.

He came here because he wanted to see Elder Sister.

However, when he saw three people sitting in front of the dining table, Mu Yuan regretted it.

There were so many people.

If he knew earlier, he wouldn't come.

But since he had already come in, it would be strange to turn around and leave. So Mu Yuan could only sit down.

It was the girl named Ning Xiwei who brought him the bowl and chopsticks. When she put them down, she was obviously irritated.

Mu Yuan didn't think he had offended her and naturally attributed the cause to Jiang Lechuan or Wen Renjing.

Although it was unknown why it turned out like this, half a bowl of rice was sufficient for each person -

That was under the premise that no one sought trouble.

Wen Renjing raised his chopsticks. His face showed hesitation and he uttered: "I really want to eat crabs."

Gu Qi: "..."

What was he up to now?

Puzzled, Jiang Lechuan responded: "It's not like someone covered your mouth and stopping you from eating?"

Wen Renjing put down his chopsticks and stated seriously: "But there are only three crabs left."

Gu Qi had one in her bowl and there were four people left. This meant that at least one person couldn't eat crabs.

Jiang Lechuan was about to say 'Then you eat it' as he didn't like crabs. But when Wen Renjing said "Elder Sister, you decide", he chose to shut up.

They may not necessarily wanted to eat this crab. The main point was to see how Gu Qi will distribute it.

Wen Renjing looked at Gu Qi with his curved eyes. While Gu Qi had an unsmiling smiled and looked like she wanted to punch him.

Ning Xiwei immediately interjected: "It's okay, I don't like it."

She smiled at Gu Qi lightly with her face conveying 'Don't worry about me', but she was smug in her heart.

Of course she knew that Wen Renjing was stirring trouble. She didn't want to join this meaningless competition for favor.

What did being able to eat crabs or not amount to?

She wished that such scenes would happen more often. She only needed to be obedient and share Gu Qi's worries. This would contrast to their stupidity and noisiness and she could be Gu Qi's most sensible and considerate younger sister.

She had always been good at pulling down things.

But Gu Qi directly clipped up a crab from the plate and put it in Ning Xiwei's bowl.

Anyone could choose not to eat, but Ning Xiwei worked hard to prepare this big table, so she couldn't be left without one.

And the remaining two crabs were placed in Wen Renjing and Mu Yuan's bowls respectively.

Jiang Lechuan's eyes widened. He never anticipated that he would be the one who couldn't eat the crab in the end.

But the next second, before Jiang Lechuan could stand up and make a scene, Gu Qi quickly picked up the crab in her bowl and put it into Jiang Lechuan's bowl, saying, "Be quiet."

The main reason was that this crab had already been in her bowl. It was not polite to give it to others, so she gave it to Jiang Lechuan in the end.

Very good.

Now everyone could have one. No need to fight or make a scene, just eat it and go home.

Gu Qi was very satisfied with the current situation and even handed them all the tools to peel the crabs. She didn't remember which brand gave them the tools, but it didn't matter anyway.

Then Gu Qi clipped up a shrimp and put it in her bowl. Ignoring everyone's gazes, she began to eat.

Realizing that he had failed, Wen Renjing shrugged and lowered his head to eat the crab in his bowl.

Not putting on any pink-color glasses, it tasted good.

Like Gu Qi, Wen Renjing also thought that Ning Xiwei's cooking skills were excellent.

Jiang Lechuan's mood also improved.

The one in his sister's bowl was the biggest one. It was specially for him. What did this mean? It meant that he was the most important in his elder sister's heart!

Five minutes later.

"Bang——"

The sound of two bowls colliding.

Slightly confused, Gu Qi raised her eyes and saw that two bowls appeared in front of her bowl at the same time.

Gu Qi looked to her left.

Ning Xiwei had a faint smile on her face as always, but it was obvious that she was a little shocked or even embarrassed.

And on her right hand side. Mu Yuan also looked at her. There was a trace of confusion in the boy's normally indifferent eyes.

Since the two people were sitting face to face, it was obvious that they held out their bowls at the same time without any preparation and resulted in this awkward bump.

Gu Qi looked at the two bowls in front of her again.

Inside were two almost identical peeled crabs.
