Morning Star

The people at the next table felt confused and worried when they saw this, but they secretly gave him a thumbs up.

He was the only one at the table who had the family background to speak to her like that.

But it is commendable to be so brave.

At this moment, Chujiu was shouting in his heart: Don’t come over here!!!

However, she could only watch him sitting next to her.

I really want to cry but I have no tears. I finally had a chance to enjoy the food alone, but it was ruined by a black-hearted monster.

She wanted to be like the groundhog standing on the edge of the cliff and shout loudly: Ah!!!

Mo Xinglan curled the corners of his mouth without even looking at her. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat that looked delicious, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

He looked at Chujiu with a smile on his face while chewing the meat in his mouth.

Chujiu looked at his pink lips with great sadness, as if he was chewing not a piece of meat, but her heart.

A piece of meat, her favorite meat on the table. It was gone, just one less piece. She was so sad, so sad!

Looking at her distressed expression, Mo Xinglan felt inexplicably happy.

After eating one piece, pick up the chopsticks to pick up the next piece.

Unexpectedly, just as I put the chopsticks on the piece of meat, another pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared and stuck into it and pressed it down.

So there were two pairs of chopsticks stuck in one piece of meat.

Mo Xinglan was playful and didn't want to let go, while Chujiu was eager to protect his flesh and was even more reluctant to let go.

For a moment, the two of them were in a stalemate.

She finally realized that the evil-hearted demon was doing this on purpose. He knew that she could finish the whole table of food by herself, but he still came over, clearly wanting to steal her food.

She would never let him succeed.

Mo Xinglan kept looking at her with a smile.

She knew she couldn't win against him but she still wanted to. He just wouldn't let her have her way.

Thinking about this, he poked the meat with the chopsticks in his hand and moved it slightly towards himself.

Chujiu was anxious. She knew she couldn't snatch it from him, so she used both hands.

She couldn't beat him, and couldn't snatch a piece of meat from him. What sin did Chujiu commit in her previous life that caused her to encounter such a black-hearted monster?

"Mo Xinglan, could you please stop competing with me?" She finally couldn't help it anymore and glared at him with her big eyes.

He chuckled: "Miss Chu, I think I picked up this piece of meat first, right?"

Eh?

The ninth day was stupid.

It seems like he really was the one who picked it up first.

"I...you...but you've already eaten a piece." She pressed the piece of meat hard with her chopsticks and became eager.

"So I think it tastes good and want to keep eating it. Is there anything wrong with that?" He blinked his innocent eyes at her.

Looking at his innocent face, Chujiu wanted to slap him in the face.

He was full of anger: "I'm eating here alone, why did you come here to steal my food? If you didn't come here, this piece of meat would have been mine. You are stealing my things now, do you know that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xinglan exerted a little force and the whole piece of meat was picked up in front of him with his chopsticks.

"Oh!" Chujiu shouted unexpectedly.

He put the meat in front of him and smiled disapprovingly: "It's not in accordance with the rules for Miss Chu to sit at a table by herself, and the other tables are..."

"Third sister."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden female voice. The chopsticks holding the meat paused in front of him, but his eyes turned to the source of the voice.

Chu Furong walked over from not far away.

Chujiu was completely focused on the meat that Mo Xinglan was picking up with his chopsticks, and didn't hear Chu Furong's shouting.

Seeing that he had stopped for some reason, I quickly leaned forward while he was not paying attention and grabbed his right hand holding the chopsticks with my left hand.

Afraid that he would realize the situation and run away with the meat, he immediately grabbed his left hand with his right hand.

With her left hand, she pulled his right hand towards her, opened her mouth and bit the piece of meat. The whole action was extremely smooth, fast, fierce and accurate.

Afraid that he would force the meat back from her mouth, she bit his chopsticks hard with her teeth and pulled them back, and the whole pair of chopsticks fell out of his hand.

By the time he reacted, the chopsticks in his hand had already reached her mouth.

Chu Furong, who was walking over, saw this scene and stood there in a daze, staring at the two of them in surprise.

Mo Xinglan looked down at the chopsticks in his hand that no longer existed, then looked at Chujiu who had contentedly taken the chopsticks from his mouth, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

I didn't see her react so quickly before, so why is she so fast when it comes to food?

Chu Furong came to the front of the two and asked, "Xinglan, Third Sister, what are you doing?"

Although Chu Furong should also be eighteen years old this year, she is a few months older than Mo Xinglan.

Chujiu then saw Chu Furong and thought she was here to rob as well. He stared at her warily and asked instead of answering, "Second sister, what's the matter with you coming here?"

"Um...can I sit here?" Seeing her unconcealed look of protecting her food, Chu Furong thought she was afraid that she was plotting against her, and felt a little embarrassed.

“……”Chujiu didn’t say anything.

She wanted to say no, but it didn't seem right.

"Miss Second, please sit here if you want. There are only two of us at this table anyway." Mo Xinglan smiled politely at Chu Furong without even looking at Chu Jiu.

Then he supported his chin and tilted his head, looking at Chujiu with curved eyebrows, with obvious provocation.

“???” Chujiu stared at him in shock after hearing this, and then his eyes turned vicious.

As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover, and this time she finally saw it.

After getting Mo Xinglan's consent, Chu Furong sat on the left side of Chu Jiu with peace of mind.

"Second sister, if you have anything to say, just say it. It's not like you to be so hesitant." Chujiu just wanted her to finish what she wanted to say quickly and leave the table quickly.

She couldn't stand Mo Xinglan snatching food from her, and now Chu Furong came along. Of course, she couldn't accept that either.

"I... I'm sorry about what happened before..." Chu Furong looked at her, then looked at the food in front of her and said hesitantly.

Chujiu doubted that Chu Furong would pick up the chopsticks and eat up all the food in front of her.

His eyes kept looking back and forth between Chu Furong and the dish, and his hand holding the chopsticks was ready to take action at any time.

He asked nonchalantly, "What is it?"

Since it was the first time she apologized to Chujiu, Chu Furong inevitably felt a little uncomfortable. In order to resolve this discomfort, she needed to do something else to divert her attention, so she picked up a pair of unused chopsticks.

"Just...just the two things before..."

When Chujiu saw this, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and took away a lot of dishes in front of Chu Furong.

Chu Furong was not thinking about this at all and didn't care about Chu Jiu's actions.

Looking at Chujiu, he said with difficulty: "Yesterday... yesterday's snack was... I... I asked someone... to replace it. Also, it was me who caused Luluo to break her leg. I'm very sorry."

"You..." Chujiu racked his brains but couldn't believe that she actually admitted it herself.

He looked at her in astonishment, feeling nothing but shock and annoyance.

How did she admit it? Why? It shouldn't be like this! This is unscientific!

"Why did you admit it yourself? Why?" Chujiu looked at her in disbelief.

"What's wrong with admitting what I did?" Chu Furong said casually.

Realizing something, he looked at her in surprise: "You, you know it's me?"

“……”Chujiu was still doubting his life.

Mo Xinglan took this opportunity to pick up another piece of meat.

Chujiu, who was in a daze, immediately came to his senses, picked up the chopsticks on the table and pressed the piece of meat, very unhappy: "Your method is extremely poor, of course I know."

Mo Xinglan raised his eyes and looked at her. Wasn't she in a daze? How did she come back to her senses so quickly?

She wants to snatch the food from him again. He just eats a dish. Does she like to snatch the food from his chopsticks so much?

The two looked at each other and gave each other a "friendly" smile, but neither of them was willing to let go.

Chu Furong was stunned for a moment, looking at the two people in front of her with a confused face, and asked: "Why didn't you tell Dad?"

"Ah?" Chu Jiu held the chopsticks tightly in his hand, glanced at Chu Furong, then at Mo Xinglan, and gritted his teeth, "Asshole..."

Then he looked at the meat pressed by the chopsticks and sneered: "If I tell him, will he believe it? He believes you, but not me..."

Then he said to Mo Xinglan impatiently: "Tsk! I really don't understand why you have to snatch it from me."

"I don't understand why you insist on snatching it from me." He didn't give in either.

Chujiu was so angry at his words that she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she looked at Chu Furong and said, "Second sister, you don't have to apologize to me. You should apologize to Luluo. After all, she is innocent."

"I will go. But you, don't you blame me?" They seemed to be enjoying the fight.

"No wonder." Chu Jiu didn't have much energy to answer Chu Furong's question because her piece of meat was about to be snatched away by Mo Xinglan.

"But why did you admit it?" It took her a while to investigate. She didn't feel any sense of accomplishment when she admitted it so easily, and it also wasted a lot of her time.

"…This is my own business. If you want to blame me, just blame me. It has nothing to do with other people. Just come to me if you have any problem." Chu Furong hesitated.

"Then Third sister and Xinglan, enjoy your meal. I won't disturb you." Afraid that Chujiu would ask again, she quickly stood up.

"What?" Chujiu didn't react after hearing it, and turned to ask her. But Chu Furong had already stood up and left without looking back.

What does it mean to not disturb them?

However, during this period of daze, the piece of meat fell into Mo Xinglan's bowl.

"Ah!!! My..." By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late. The piece of meat had already been eaten by Mo Xinglan.

He looked at her contentedly and smiled at her.

"Mo! Xing! Lan!"

……

The birthday banquet came to an end. After the banquet, the elders said goodbye to their children and went back to their homes.

On the second day in Taoyuan, Chujiu was flipping through a book that looked quite old.
