Jiang Tingxia quickly put down the bowl of soup in his hand, then held up his hand and opened it. There was a long, thin wound there, as if it had been cut by a sharp object, and blood was faintly oozing out.

"Xiaoxing, your hand is injured and it's bleeding!" She was worried and quickly took out disinfectant wipes from her bag and wiped his palm for him. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

Jiang Qixing himself didn't notice when his hand was cut. It should have been cut by the scalpel hidden in his schoolbag.

He instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but for some reason, his hand was held by her warm and soft hand, which made his whole body seem to be frozen, and he forgot to react for a moment.

The three people opposite him were looking at him with the same expression, filled with a bit of envy and jealousy.

Jiang Tingxia wiped the blood stains for him and took out a Band-Aid to help him put it on. "Be careful next time and don't get hurt."

Jiang Qixing looked down at the pink Hello Kitty Band-Aid on her palm and felt the urge to tear it off.

He was about to tear it off with a cold face, but Jiang Tingxia seemed to have noticed his intention and said with a smile: "Boys can also be cute in pink."

cute……

She actually used such words to describe him!

"Even if you really don't like it, just use it for now, okay?" She smiled with curved eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, very beautiful.

Jiang Qixing, "..."

She looked exactly like his mother, so much so that he was dazed for two seconds and thought it was his mother smiling at him.

Jiang Qixing's stagnant heart seemed to have been thrown into it by a small stone, causing ripples.

But it soon disappeared.

A substitute is always a substitute. Pei Zhili and the others will treat her as their mother who has passed away many years ago and seek psychological comfort from her, but he won't.

He doesn't need it either.

Over the years, he has long been accustomed to living alone and does not want anyone to disrupt the status quo.

Jiang Qixing's gaze fell on the bowl of steaming soup again, and he looked at the palm of his hand covered with a pink Band-Aid. He knew that it was not appropriate to take action now, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Let her go for now, there are plenty of opportunities.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another. Jiang Tingxia specially picked up a few shrimps for Jiang Qixing and said, "Xiaoxing, try it and see if it tastes good."

Looking at the shrimp in the bowl, Jiang Qixing frowned in disgust, "Dirty."

"..." Jiang Tingxia choked, feeling a little surprised, but more disappointed.

It seemed that he did not believe her.

When Jiang Qixing said that word, the expressions of the other three people present changed.

Pei Yanzhou stared at him and said sternly, "What did you say? Say it again?!"

Pei Zhili glanced at Jiang Qixing with a cold look, obviously very dissatisfied.

Jiang Suisui also snorted, picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up the shrimp in his bowl, "What's dirty about it? People with a heart of a heart think everything is dirty! This is what my mother picked for me, if you don't eat it, I will!"

She grabbed all the shrimps into her bowl and ate them all. At the end, she gave Jiang Tingxia a sweet smile, "It's delicious, Mom, I want more."

That little expression clearly means: Pick it up for me quickly!

It looks like a kitten begging for food.

Jiang Tingxia was touched by her cuteness, and the anger in her heart was dispelled a little. She picked up the dishes she wanted to eat, and also picked up some for Pei Yanzhou and Pei Zhili.

They all served food to Jiang Tingxia, and soon her bowl was piled high like a small mountain. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's enough! Stop serving me food! I can't eat this much."

Jiang Qixing looked at this happy scene, then looked at his empty bowl, and suddenly felt unhappy.

He picked up his chopsticks and ate in silence, listening to them chatting and laughing with the woman. Especially when Jiang Suisui told her about the fun things at school, her laughter was so cheerful that it made him even more irritated!

Jiang Tingxia was also paying attention to him the whole time. He remained silent, completely isolating himself from another world.

After all, this was her son, the warm-hearted boy who used to say, "I love you the most." She couldn't bear to see him like this, so she smiled and said to him, "Xiaoxing, you need to eat more. You are at the age when you are growing up, and you need to get enough nutrition."

There was a hint of concern in her tone, but to Jiang Qixing, it was just hypocrisy.

If she thought that she could win him over so easily, she was naive.

Jiang Qixing turned his face away, his whole body exuding a coldness and alienation that kept strangers away.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Tingxia cast a look to Jiang Suisui for help. Jiang Suisui immediately understood and excitedly pulled Jiang Qixing, who wanted to leave, and said, "Second brother, can you come home and live?"

Jiang Qixing refused without hesitation, "No."

Pei Zhili glanced at Jiang Tingxia and saw that she was a little disappointed again. He grabbed Jiang Qixing by the back of her collar and put pressure on her: "Go back if I tell you to. It's not up to you!"

He was half a head taller than Jiang Qixing, and was usually a fierce fighter with great strength. Jiang Qixing struggled a few times but couldn't break free. His usually cold eyes turned into anger, and he reached out to push him.

Seeing that the two brothers seemed to be about to fight, Jiang Tingxia widened his eyes and hurried forward to stop them. Jiang Qixing originally wanted to push Pei Zhili, but pushed her instead. Her waist hit the edge of the round table heavily, and there was a dull "bang". Her face wrinkled in pain.

"Xia Xia!" Pei Yanzhou took the lead in helping her up, looking her up and down with concern, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Tingxia covered her aching lower back and smiled, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Jiang Qixing's expression was still indifferent, as if he was not the one who pushed the person just now. Jiang Suisui said angrily: "Second brother, why did you push Mom!"

"I'm fine." Jiang Tingxia said quickly, not wanting them to argue or even fight. "Xiaoxing is used to living alone. If he doesn't want to go home, that's fine. Don't force him."

Pei Zhili reached out and pushed Jiang Qixing hard, pushing him directly into the corner. He grabbed his collar and warned him fiercely, "Don't think I don't know what you wanted to do with that bowl of soup just now. After all these years, you are still a despicable villain who can only do tricks behind her back. Even if you don't want to acknowledge her, don't think about hurting her. If you do it again, I will definitely beat you up!"

Jiang Qixing shook his hand off forcefully without saying a word, as if Pei Zhili's words could not threaten him.

Then, he left the box without looking back and without even looking at Jiang Tingxia.

...

When they returned home and entered the bedroom, Pei Yanzhou suddenly grabbed Jiang Tingxia's wrist and said seriously, "Let me see."

Jiang Tingxia was thinking about Jiang Qixing the whole way and was in a daze, not hearing what he said clearly. When she came to her senses, she had been picked up by Pei Yanzhou and put on the bed. Then, big hands unceremoniously took off her coat and pulled down the zipper of her skirt.

"Hey!" Jiang Tingxia was embarrassed.

It’s only what time, why are you so impatient?
