Jiang Huanhuan could sense Jiang Qi's nervousness.

After just a few steps, his face had turned extremely pale, and even Jiang Huanhuan's hands were shaking.

System: [Unfortunately, the book gives very little information about Jiang Qi. Aside from being kidnapped as a child, we know nothing else.]

System: [Oh, there's also an ending of depression and suicide... Sigh.]

In my head, there is the system's nagging voice, and my hands feel slightly damp and warm.

Jiang Huanhuan squeezed Jiang Qi's hand hard, and when the other party turned around, she gave him a firm look.

Jiang Huanhuan: "Thank you, I'm so happy now."

She gently shook Jiang Qi's hand, expressing her joy.

In fact, Jiang Qi doesn’t really like being touched, including at this moment.

It's uncomfortable, I feel restrained, like there are chains on my body.

It is inconvenient for him to run away when he senses danger.

But at this moment, this "chain" conveys an emotion called happiness.

Even if it's just a short moment.

But for Jiang Qi, it was a long-lost and unfamiliar feeling.

He was startled out of nowhere and subconsciously tried to shake off Jiang Huanhuan's hand, but she held it too tightly and he failed to break free.

After regaining his composure, Jiang Qi stared at the clasped hands intently for a long time.

How can I feel happy just by shaking hands?

Jiang Qi didn't know.

But feeling and pursuing happiness is also instinctive.

After observing carefully for a long time, Jiang Qi finally held her hand back with a little force and shook it gently.

Jiang Huanhuan adapted well and soon waved her hands as well.

The system just watched the two, one big and one small, shaking their hands for three minutes.

It's like performing some mysterious ritual.

After finishing, Jiang Qi actually had a smile on his face.

Unbelievable.

It was just a little tiring. After playing around in some nonsensical ways, both of them made appeals from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Huanhuan: "Eat!"

Jiang Qi: "Food!"

Jiang Huanhuan and Jiang Qi headed towards the restaurant decisively.

The Jiang family's chef has always been excellent. Before arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Huanhuan could smell the fragrance of the food from afar.

My already empty stomach was now even hungrier.

When they heard each other's stomach rumbling, they quickened their pace.

But upon arriving at the restaurant, the atmosphere inside was of another extreme.

Bai Qing drank the soup with a gloomy face.

Ye Ying, who was serving breakfast in the distance, also looked worried.

However, when they saw Jiang Huanhuan and Jiang Qi appearing hand in hand in a friendly manner, they both paused for a moment, with surprise and confusion on their faces.

Even the usually steady butler's hand became unsteady for a moment as he served the soup.

But he was also the one who adjusted his mood the fastest, and immediately smiled and invited the two to eat.

Unlike his usual polite and gentle smile, his smile was much more excited than usual.

It can be said that Jiang Qi was brought up by the butler, so the butler has the deepest feelings for him.

Seeing that Jiang Qi was willing to come down for dinner, he was naturally very happy.

Jiang Qi was initially a little intimidated by the unfamiliar surroundings and the gazes of others, but fortunately the housekeeper cleared the area promptly, leaving only a few people behind.

Breakfast was served quickly, including preserved egg and lean meat porridge garnished with chopped green onions, freshly baked bread toast, small and delicate shrimp dumplings, and buns with thin skin and large fillings... As the food was served one by one, Jiang Huanhuan's eyes lit up again and again.

What is this? I've never tasted it before! Take a bite!

What is this? I've eaten it! Have another bite!

What is this? Not tasty? Have another bite!

Jiang Huanhuan smelled so good when she was eating. Before Jiang Qi had time to feel awkward and uneasy, his mind was already attracted by her.

Compared to his aversion to food, Jiang Huanhuan can be said to be at the other extreme.

She is super cherishing and loves food!

These foods were all new experiences for her, and she wanted to try every food on the table.

Her reaction was also clear and straightforward.

When he encounters delicious food, his eyes light up, but when he encounters unpalatable food, he wrinkles his nose and eats it slowly.

Smart and lively.

It makes people unconsciously have an idea.

——Is this thing really that delicious/unpalatable?

——Not sure, why not give it a try?

People are always skeptical, and Jiang Qi is no exception.

After hesitating for a long time, he really started to try.

Jiang Huanhuan chewed the bun and said, "Delicious!"

Jiang Qi looked at her for a while, then slowly picked up the bun and began to eat reluctantly.

A little bit more delicious than expected.

Jiang Huanhuan sipped the soy milk: "It's delicious!"

After much hesitation, Jiang Qi picked up the soy milk and drank it slowly.

Hmm... not sweet, add some sugar.

Jiang Qi didn't eat much. He had refused to eat for a long time, so he felt full after just a few bites.

But even so, his appetite has increased a lot more than usual.

There seemed to be tears in the butler's eyes. Finally, he took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and sighed.

Butler: "Master, it's been a long time since you've eaten like this."

Bai Qing watched the whole process silently. He felt a little out of place for a moment when he saw the usually steady butler saying lines similar to those in the TV series.

But she was also happy to see that her younger brother was willing to eat.

If he hadn’t seen Ye Ying constantly picking up food for the two of them.

She really couldn't like Ye Ying.

He especially disliked her flattering smile and earnest look at the moment, which was completely different from the one when she had just argued with him.

Time goes back half an hour.

Bai Qing had just come down from upstairs at that time. She was physically and mentally exhausted due to lack of sleep for a long time.

The housekeeper thoughtfully brought a bowl of medicine.

The housekeeper said: "You seem to have not slept well these days. It just so happens that the chef has learned a little about medicinal cuisine."

Bai Qing looked at the specially prepared soup in front of him and felt embarrassed to refuse.

She did suffer from insomnia every night during this period. Even if she was able to fall asleep occasionally, she would wake up in the middle of the night because of the stuffiness and heat.

Ever since she returned to the Jiang family, she always had all kinds of strange dreams.

In her dreams, she always encountered various difficulties, and the ones who targeted her the most were Jiang Huanhuan and Ye Ying.

The absurd dreams and reality kept intertwining, making her feel a little dazed during the day.

The most terrifying thing is that the content of the dream is real.

For example, Jiang Qi is allergic to nuts.

When the butler mentioned that the two of them were allergic to nuts yesterday, the spoon in Bai Qing's hand lost its balance and fell directly onto the table with a crisp sound.

Faced with the housekeeper's question, she could only smile with the corners of her mouth, but her heart was in turmoil.

These are things that happened in dreams.

The housekeeper noticed that she looked unwell and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Or is the soup not to your liking?"

Ye Ying, who was holding the cutlery beside her, immediately said, "Maybe she's not used to it. Miss Bai is quite reserved."

Although she said "precious", Ye Ying's tone was full of arrogance.

The housekeeper immediately emphasized his tone: "Ye Ying, this is not the way you should speak!"

Ye Ying's apology was lukewarm, without any regret in her words, it was just a perfunctory one.

But it was this perfunctory attitude that made the butler feel even more helpless.

Bai Qing was also a little annoyed, but because of the housekeeper, he didn't show it.

Seeing Ye Ying calmly walk into the kitchen, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anyone who teaches her a lesson for being like this?"

The servants in the Jiang family were all very well-educated. Although they were not very close to her, they respected her.

The housekeeper felt increasingly guilty: "It's my fault. Ye Ying's parents are already veteran employees. Besides, she's been the eldest lady's playmate since childhood and even saved her life. The lady also likes her..."

With the love of Madam and Jiang Huanhuan and the blessing of the benefactor's halo, she was naturally treated as a half-lady.

Bai Qing knew the reason, but for a moment he didn't know what to say in front of the housekeeper, so he skipped the topic.

But in his heart, he still disliked Ye Ying.

With her character of flattering the superiors and bullying the inferiors, being Jiang Huanhuan's playmate will only harm Jiang Huanhuan.

Especially at this moment, looking at Ye Ying who kept picking up dishes, Bai Qing became more certain of this idea.

Ye Ying: "This bun is not delicious? It must be Chef Wang who didn't make it well! I'll go talk to him later and ask him to bring up all the good stuff!"

Ye Ying: "Is the coffee too bitter? I told you last time that there was something wrong with the beans!"

In addition to coaxing Jiang Huanhuan, Jiang Qi is also indispensable.

Before finishing the meal, Jiang Qi showed that he wanted to eat something sweet.

The housekeeper did not agree, so Ye Ying brought out small cakes and orange juice while the housekeeper was out.

Faced with the question, Ye Ying just frowned and said in embarrassment: "I don't think he has much appetite, and it's not easy for him to come down to eat. It's not good to force him... What if he has bad memories?"

Bai Qing frowned more and more as she listened. Finally, she put down the spoon in her hand heavily and said, "But there's no need to rush to give it to him, right? What if he refuses to eat like this in the future? Will you be responsible if he develops a habit?"
