BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61 - 61: Are They Fighting?
“Lu An, are you shameless? You eat my food and drink my water, and you want me to compensate you for your mental damage?” It was Jin Nian’s complaint. Her voice was so loud that one did not even need to press their ear against the door to hear it.
Tan Siyun heaved a sigh of relief. She was relieved that it was Lu An. Jin Chengwen was a little anxious: “Didn’t the two of them get into a fight back then and stopped getting along? When did they get together again? Should we go in and take a look? They won’t fight, right?” Tan Siyun was also puzzled. If Lu An was here, then so be it. Why were they hiding that? It was not like they have not seen him before.
There was a similar argument in the room. Jin Chengwen wanted to press the doorbell but was pulled back by Tan Siyun. Tan Siyun suddenly remembered the mark on Jin Nian’s neck. She opened her mouth in shock. She guessed that the two young people liked each other and that something had happened. Today, they suddenly came, which was why Jin Nian hid Lu An.
Perhaps she was shy and embarrassed.
“You really don’t need to go in and take a look?” Jin Chengwen was still worried. “When they were young, they quarreled all the time. I remember that they even bit someone’s arm before.”
Tan Siyun’s mood suddenly brightened. She pulled Jin Chengwen away: “It’s okay, don’t worry about them. How old is your girl? How can she still fight with others? Besides, you’re a father. How can you be so nosy?”
Jin Chengwen was confused as he was dragged into the elevator by Tan Siyun.
In Jin Nian’s home.
Jin Nian sat at the dining table and ate, ignoring Lu An. Her stomach was growling from hunger and she was not in the mood to argue with him. Everything was said very clearly just now: “You want mental compensation, right? Teacher Tan brought over a chicken and some sea cucumbers just now. I’ll stew it for you and you can treat it as compensation.”
Lu An stared at her, wondering if she was really stupid or just playing dumb. According to his understanding of Jin Nian, she was probably just stupid. She was so stupid that she could not understand what he meant.
The rented house definitely did not have a dishwashing machine. After dinner, Jin Nian took the initiative to take the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen. Seeing Lu An’s frown, Jin Nian turned around and said to him, “I’m not your mother. I’ll wash the dishes after you cook. It’s fairer this way. I won’t take advantage of you.”
“You’ve calculated it clearly with me.”
Jin Nian took a freshly washed grape and stuffed it into Lu An’s mouth, telling him not to speak. This season, rose grapes were the most delicious. The fragrance of the grapes spread in his mouth along with the taste of the roses. It was so sweet that Lu An did not care about anything else. He stood next to Jin Nian and took the bowls and chopsticks that Jin Nian had washed. He wiped the water off with a disposable cloth and placed them neatly in the cupboard.
Jin Nian was slightly stunned. She had thought that Lu An was a person who did not do chores. After all, he had been taken care of since he was young. Even when he ate fruits at home, someone would help him pluck the strawberry stalks clean.
However, at this moment, Lu An was like a good man at home. He sat quietly and did these boring chores. He still had that grumpy temperament, and the bowls and chopsticks he touched seemed to be more expensive.
Jin Nian looked at him, thinking that she had never met another person like Lu An. Although he had a domineering personality and had been pampered since he was young, he was still a young man. However, there was no arrogance in his bones. He respected women and everyone who was weaker than him. Jin Nian felt lucky that the person she married was Lu An.
This was what Lu An saw when he turned his head. The moment he turned around, Jin Nian hurriedly avoided his gaze like a frightened little animal. “What’s wrong?” Lu An asked her.
Jin Nian said, “I’m fine.” Her heart was pounding. What was going on? In the past, why did she not think that Lu An’s looks were in line with her aesthetic standards?
After cleaning up the kitchen, it was almost ten o’clock. Jin Nian had been working overtime all this while, so she was naturally tired. She had already started to doze off at this time. Seeing that Lu An had no intention of leaving, she could not help but remind him: “It’s ten o’clock.”
Lu An was still stuffing grapes into his mouth. Was it really that delicious?
“Is it delicious?” Jin Nian asked.
Lu An stuffed one into her mouth. Jin Nian tasted it and found it was indeed not bad. “If you like it, you can take the rest with you.”
“There’s no need for that. Lu An raised his hand and looked at his wristwatch. This action gave Jin Nian the illusion that he had already noticed the meaning behind her words and was tactfully preparing to leave.
After all, Lu An had helped her a lot today. Jin Nian was embarrassed to chase him away without saying anything to thank him: “Thank you for what you did today, Lu An. I really won’t know what to do if I was stuck on the road alone. Also, the dishes you made tonight were really delicious. I was very satisfied..”
