Bao Nan’s gaze fell on a white teddy bear at the corner of the sofa.
The red and blue striped shirt was curling up, probably from being hugged all day.
"Handsome Bao, go ahead and sit at the dining table, I’m almost done."
Jiang Tong peeked out of the kitchen and called to him.
Hearing this, Bao Nan nodded and moved to sit obediently at the dining table.
After what felt like countless trials, Jiang Tong finally decided to come out of the kitchen.
She ran back and forth with dishes and pots so many times that a slight sweat formed on her forehead.
Once all the dishes were served, Jiang Tong eagerly rubbed her hands together, took off her apron, and plopped right onto a chair.
She blinked adorably, "Eat, why aren’t you eating?"
Why are you sitting there motionless?
Hearing her call out, Bao Nan’s fingers twitched slightly, and he glanced at the dishes on the table.
From left to right were beef rolls, fatty beef rolls, lamb rolls, spicy beef, beef balls, and a bowl of lettuce.
But he’s never eaten this kind of processed meat before, so he seemed a bit at a loss.
Finally, after much hesitation, he chose to pick a few pieces of lettuce and put them into the clear broth, waiting quietly for them to cook.
Seeing his delicate demeanor, Jiang Tong’s mouth twitched, unsure of what to say for a moment.
She could only force a smile, "Handsome Bao, the fatty beef is quite good, why don’t you try it?"
She must be crazy to choose to eat with an iceberg!
It’s utterly unenjoyable.
With her words, Bao Nan slightly looked up, his cold eyes softening slightly, "Actually, you can just call me by my name, I don’t mind."
Jiang Tong was momentarily stunned, then quickly snapped back, smiling, "Okay, then I’ll call you Bao Nan from now on."
"Mm." He responded lightly.
And that was it, they fell into another prolonged silence.
Jiang Tong poked at the rice in her bowl while internally griping.
Tsk.
Who knows who will be unlucky enough to marry this quiet guy in the future.
To be able to manage this long without speaking.
Pray for that poor woman for a minute, hope she doesn’t get bored to death.
If she does, I’ll burn some joss paper for her.
Amen.
Then the meal passed in a bizarrely silent atmosphere, with only the sound of chopsticks hitting bowls.
Once she got used to it, Jiang Tong didn’t mind anymore. After eating her fill, she lazily sprawled on the sofa, hugging the teddy bear in her arms.
She patted her belly, which was starting to bulge, and complained, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have eaten so much, my tummy got bigger again, ah~ when am I going to lose this weight!"
"As long as you’re healthy."
Bao Nan’s sudden voice reached Jiang Tong’s ears, scaring her so much she jumped up.
Oh crap.
Almost forgot he was still there.
Just let herself loose!
Her image, her image!
Jiang Tong awkwardly coughed a few times, quickly straightening her messy hair.
"Uh, Handsome Bao... Bao Nan, it’s getting late..."
Shouldn’t you head back and get ready for bed too?
Hearing this, Bao Nan raised his hand to glance at his watch; it was already ten past nine.
Indeed, it was very late.
"Thanks for the meal, I’m leaving now." He nodded expressionlessly.
His gaze suddenly fixed on the teddy bear Jiang Tong was hugging.
Jiang Tong was about to bid him farewell, but seeing his intense gaze, seeming to carry a hint of longing as he looked at...
She shook the teddy bear in her hand, "Do you want this?"
