Chu Molin glanced at the seemingly distressed woman and helplessly said, “You have to eat more, you’re too thin.”
Considering the weight he’d felt earlier.
She was carrying twins and yet she barely weighed over 90-95 pounds. Did this woman not eat normally?
She was so thin, not to mention the child, she couldn’t even keep up with her own nutrition.
“Where am I thin? I have a standard weight. Besides, I eat small meals frequently, I never let the child go hungry.”
Qin Xue thought, this time will be the last time, never again would she let him serve her food.
This was too unreliable. Clearly, she had just finished a bowl of soup, yet he had prepared such a large quantity of rice for her.
Qin Xue picked up the chopsticks to eat, and decided that if she wanted to finish the rice, she couldn’t eat much of the dishes. It is shameful to waste food.
How tiring is it to eat rice without daring to eat the dishes?
“Xue’er, why are you only eating rice and not the dishes, don’t they taste good?”
Chu Molin took a bite of the vegetable heart, then a bite of the sweet and sour ribs and fish. It was delicious.
But why does Xue’er only eat rice and not the dishes? At this moment, Chu Molin was puzzled.
“It’s all your fault. l t d already had a bowl of soup and half full already. Normally, 1 eat a small bowl of rice and some dishes, and I’m full. You gave me so much rice to eat, I have to finish it, right? Otherwise, it would be wasted. So how could I eat the dishes?” Qin Xue was really depressed.
Chu Molin kept quiet, took over Qin Xue’s bowl, and moved about half of the rice to his bowl.
He refilled her bowl: “Alright, eat now.”
Qin Xue watched Chu Molin in a daze as he finished his moves and then picked up his bowl to eat.
Qin Xue flushingly stammered: “Chu Molin, I’ve eaten from that rice already, if you want more, go take some. The rice has my saliva.”
This was as if they were kissing, how awkward was that?
“Since, you can’t finish it, and are afraid to waste it, thereby, not daring to eat the dishes, I’m helping you by eating some. Don’t worry, I don’t mind your saliva.” A hint of mischief flashed in Chu Molin’s eyes.
Qin Xue blushed like a cooked shrimp. Was this man teasing her?
“You’re shameless.’
“Hmm, do you want to see if I’m toothless? Let’s check if I really am toothless.” Chu Molin couldn’t help but smile.
While talking, he closely stared at the woman’s annoyed face. His wife was too cute!
Her puffing little face looked adorable from every angle.
“Humph, I’m ignoring you. 1 1 m eating.” Qin Xue stated that she would ignore Chu Molin, and indeed finished her meal without uttering a single word to him
Returning to her room after the meal, she stood in front of the window and watched the people downstairs chatting with each other.
Rather than saying that Qin Xue was angry with Chu Molin, it was more appropriate to say that she realized their interactions resembled a bickering old couple and became scared.
No matter before or now, Qin Xue never considered finding a soulmate.
Her parent’s marriage had scared her from love. She was afraid of getting hurt like her mother.
She was afraid that once she falls in love, she would not be able to bear the loss. Even the casual chat with Chu Molin earlier about giving love a try, she was afraid to.
So, Qin Xue shrank. She didn’t dare to take a single step forward and retreated back into her shell.
Qin Xue suddenly felt cold, unconsciously clenching her arms around herself, staring blankly at the scenery downstairs.
She completely forgot there was still a man in the living room looking at her.
This scene was analogous to a popular saying: “You stand there watching the scenery, whilst you become the scenery of others.”
At first, Chu Molin thought Qin Xue was really angry.
Angry because he teased her, but when he came out of the kitchen and saw her expression, he realized it wasn’t the case.
He thought about how they were comfortable with each other at dinner, they had gotten along so well. Why did it suddenly become like this?
After tidying up the dishes without washing them, Chu Molin just sat and watched Qin Xue, wondering what was going through her mind?
He noted her subconscious self-protective gesture, reflecting back on their mealtime interaction and her first words after waking up.
Chu Molin thought he probably understood what Qin Xue was thinking..
