Meng Yan's Transformation

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have apologized to Zhan Yingying at the dinner table. It caused controversy and made Meng Yanmei suffer an injustice because of me. Okay, I'll listen to my aunt and have a good chat with Zhan Yingying after dinner. As the saying goes: Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he lowered his head and started eating.

"You know it's all because of you, and you still have the nerve to say it? If a person has bad character, no matter how nice they say it, people won't feel their sincerity..."

Zhan Zixun muttered softly, glancing at Liu Wei.

"Zhan Zixun, can't I shut you up even when I'm eating? You have no manners at all. Have you forgotten what I just said, 'Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping?'"

As Yunqing spoke, she looked at Zhan Zixun with a serious face.

Zhan Zixun lowered his head and ate the rice in his bowl when he was being stared at.

There was silence at the dinner table for a while.

The originally lively dining table froze in an instant.

Everyone slowed down their movements at the same time - the sound of cutlery colliding gradually subsided, the movements of everyone chewing became deliberate and slow, and the mist from the hot soup slowly rose in silence.

Zhan Mengyan tried to break the deadlock and opened her mouth to say something, but she found herself also enveloped by this silence, and even her breathing became cautious.

Zhan Yingying was about to ask Zhan Mengyan about her final exam results, but she swallowed her words and stirred the rice in the bowl with a spoon.

In the silence, everyone felt alienated from each other, and there was a hint of tension in the air. This oppressive silence made people feel very uncomfortable, and every pair of eyes hid different thoughts.

Silence at the dinner table is not just a silence, it is a deep emotional bond between family members, and silence hides the family's care.

The silence at the dinner table is sometimes a silent communication and an unspoken care.

The silence at the dinner table sometimes contains infinite expectations.

"Auntie, Brother Zixun, Yingying, Sister Mengyan, I'm done eating, you guys can have yours."

Liu Wei stood up while speaking.

"Liu Wei, how can you, a grown man, eat so little? Is it because the food prepared by Zhan Yingying and I is not to your taste? Or is it because I don’t let Zhan Zixun talk while eating, and you are overthinking it? I’m afraid that when he is eating, his talking will squeeze you and kill your appetite, and even the most delicious food will taste like chewing wax. No, you have to eat more. This table of food is made for you. You eat so little, which makes the cook feel so disappointed and has no sense of accomplishment. You used to eat with big mouthfuls, but today I feel that you are a little restrained, and you are eating in small bites. It seems that today’s food is really not to your appetite, and you didn’t eat well! It seems that Zhan Yingying and I need to improve our cooking skills. No, even if you don’t like it, you have to eat more, otherwise you will be hungry later, which is so uncomfortable."

While Yunqing was speaking, she pushed Liu Wei back to his original seat.

"Aunt, the food you and Yingying cooked is so delicious. They are all my favorites. I know you are on my side. Brother Zixun is right to criticize me. I accept it humbly and will correct it in the future. I am really full today. I ate in small bites today because my mouth is full of blisters. It hurts when I eat. My mother has been criticizing me every day these days. If I don't coax Zhan Yingying, she will break off the mother-son relationship with me. My mother is too strict, which makes me angry; Yingying refuses to forgive me, which makes me even more angry. That's why my mouth has blisters. The problem has not been resolved, and I don't enjoy eating as much as before."

When Liu Wei spoke, he sounded like a primary school student who had made a mistake, or like a young wife who was being bullied.

"Liu Wei, you came to our house because your mother forced you to, didn't you? Didn't you come here to apologize because you felt you were wrong?"

Zhan Yingying stared at Liu Wei while speaking.
