Staring at the plates of food being brought to the table, she almost couldn’t take her eyes off the various meats.
Bi Xia loved to eat, especially meat. Now, those plates of deliciously fragrant and tasty meats made her unable to resist, and she momentarily forgot about the frustration she felt at the school gate.
Bi Xia understood that the person in front of her had found her weakness!
Whatever, let’s eat first!
Watching the little girl eat with big bites, her cheeks bulging, her starry eyes scanning for the next target, Qin Zhan found it incredibly amusing.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it on her plate. Seeing the smile in her eyes, Qin Zhan couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub her dark hair.
Bi Xia paused slightly, as if recalling something. Her satisfied little face suddenly stiffened, then she exaggeratedly bypassed the piece of braised pork Qin Zhan had just given her, and instead picked up a piece of spare rib from a distance and started chewing on it.
Seeing the neglected piece of braised pork, Qin Zhan’s lips curved with a faint smile in his phoenix eyes, "Don’t like braised pork?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ⓝovelFire.net
Like it, how could I not like it! Bi Xia tried her best to control her gaze, but she couldn’t help but glance at the plate of braised pork.
Seeing her little expression, Qin Zhan pretended not to notice, sighed lightly, and rang the service bell. Under her puzzled gaze, he said to the waiter who came in, "Take this plate of braised pork away."
Bi Xia just watched as the braised pork was mercilessly taken away, disappearing from the table.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so stubborn. It would have been better to eat a few pieces to satisfy her craving first...
"Want to eat?" Qin Zhan asked with a smile.
She looked up at Qin Zhan and snorted softly, fox.
Seeing that she was still giving him the cold shoulder, Qin Zhan shook his head helplessly, "Little Nine, you haven’t said a word to Fourth Brother since we got in the car."
She lowered her head without saying anything, just poking at the spare ribs with her chopsticks.
There was another knock on the door. The waiter came back in with a new plate of braised pork, still steaming hot.
Bi Xia stared blankly at the braised pork, then looked at Qin Zhan with confusion.
Qin Zhan sighed, "It’s only at times that you’ll look at me."
He pushed the braised pork in front of her and said softly, "Eat. If you’re angry with me, we can talk about it after you eat. Don’t take out your anger on the food. Eat until you’re full first. The previous braised pork got cold because you ignored it, so I had them make a new plate."
The frustration in her heart faded a lot. Bi Xia mumbled softly, picked up a piece of braised pork, and handed it to Qin Zhan before she buried her head in her food again.
Qin Zhan chuckled lightly. Indeed, the best way to placate a child was with food.
"Can you tell me why you’re upset?" Qin Zhan asked gently. "I heard someone made our Little Nine unhappy. I dropped everything and came to find you. Now you’re not saying a word to me, and Fourth Brother is very sad."
"How do you know..." Bi Xia paused, "So, are you telling me Xiong Liang and that teacher got punished because of you!"
Looking deeply at Qin Zhan, Bi Xia wouldn’t tell him that her heart felt sweet at that moment. It was the first time someone helped her when she was in trouble... but...
"Actually, you didn’t have to go through all that trouble. I could have..." managed...
"I know you could handle it yourself," Qin Zhan interrupted her, helplessly taking a tissue and leaning forward to gently wipe the corner of her mouth, "But I wanted to do something for you. I didn’t want you to feel wronged."
