The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

Jiang Zao felt that her whole family was eating, and she was eating too, but Lu Yanxun was the only one who hadn't eaten, which was a bit pitiful.

Now you know, she's worried about him not having enough to eat.

"I want to eat it myself!" Jiang Zao said angrily, her tone becoming even more forceful.

Lu Yanxun remained calm and composed: "No need, I'll feed you."

His tone was not harsh at all; in fact, it could be described as gentle and pleasant.

But Jiang Zao could hear an even stronger attitude from his words than she could from her own.

“You…” An unnamed anger ignited in Jiang Zao’s heart, and she felt a little angry.

"Cough!" Jiang Laiwang coughed again in time.

Jiang Zao glanced at her surroundings; her family members were all secretly watching her.

Her father's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly.

Her younger siblings stopped eating and stared at her and Lu Yanxun with their big, dark puppy eyes.

The little flame that had just been ignited in her heart was quickly extinguished under the watchful eyes of her family.

Jiang Zao lost her temper and paused for a moment before saying, "You eat too, and then feed me after you finish eating."

Lu Yanxun felt that this was yet another new way Jiang Zao had come up with to avoid eating.

Unmoved.

Seeing that Lu Yanxun was completely ignoring her, Jiang Zao pouted and turned her face away, stubbornly saying, "If you don't eat, I won't eat either."

"Cough!" Jiang Laiwang's furrowed brows could trap two flies.

Jiang Zao, who had previously been so resentful after being criticized by her father that she wished she could disappear into the ground, has become much more assertive this time.

She said to her father with righteous indignation, "Dad, aren't you worried about your son-in-law? We're all eating, but he hasn't. Why aren't you worried about him now?"

Jiang Laiwang: "..."

Hey, he was indeed busy eating his own meal and watching his son-in-law feed his daughter. How come he didn't think of that?

Realizing the problem, Jiang Laiwang quickly tried to cover it up:

"Yanxun, stop feeding her. Let her eat by herself. She's not a little kid anymore. She doesn't need to be fed. You should eat too, or the food will get cold."

“Yeah, I’m not a child anymore, I can eat by myself.” Jiang Zao raised her chin at Lu Yanxun, her dark eyes gleaming as if she were provoking him.

Since her father has said that, how can Lu Yanxun still have the nerve to continue feeding her?

Jiang Zao was convinced that Lu Yanxun would definitely let her eat by herself.

But as it turned out, her assumption was wrong...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Yanxun put the bite of rice that he had offered to Jiang Zao but which she refused to eat into his own mouth.

Then he picked up a stir-fried green bean and ate it.

Then, Lu Yanxun picked up a piece of scrambled egg from the plate and, as usual, offered it to Jiang Zao's mouth: "I've eaten, now it's your turn."

Jiang Laiwang and Zhou Meixia: "..."

The elderly couple were stunned for a moment, and almost couldn't bear to look after they realized what was happening.

Jiang Guo blinked. Her sister and brother-in-law were using the same pair of chopsticks to eat from the same bowl of rice?

Even her parents had never used it like this.

This is the first time Jiang Guo has ever seen anything like this in her life.

The young heart was deeply shaken.

Jiang Bei also stopped eating in surprise.

Surprised, I couldn't help but let out a strange sigh: "Eh~~~"

Jiang Zao's face suddenly turned red.

“You you you…you…”

She stuttered pathetically.

"Let's eat together." Lu Yanxun's voice was steady and calm, without the slightest hint of weakness.

Jiang Zao's face flushed red again: "You...you...you..."

Jiangzao's stuttering got even worse.

This man, with such a self-righteous attitude.

That's...amazing acting.

He's really good at acting, that's impressive.

But even though she knew Lu Yanxun was acting, Jiang Zao still shamefully felt shy.

When he eats her leftovers, he's probably already finished eating, so she's not particularly shy.

But now, at this very moment, he's actually going to eat a bowl of rice with her, bit by bit, in front of her entire family?!

Why is he like this?

Doesn't he know that this is embarrassing for people?

Was his acting a bit too much?

what?

Ah!

She was about to faint!

Jiang Zao was internally devastated and confused, while blushing shyly and not knowing what to do.

Lu Yanxun, however, thought Jiang Zao's face was genuinely red from anger, so he softened his tone and tried to reason with her: "Don't be angry, I'll eat two bites, and you eat one bite, is that okay?"

Looking at Jiang Zao's rosy face and wide eyes, Lu Yanxun finally chose to compromise.

Fine, she can eat as many bites as she can. Her face is red with anger. If she doesn't compromise a little, Lu Yanxun is worried that she will have a stomachache later.

Once she calms down, we'll find a way to get her to eat more.

Jiangzao: "..."

Is it really a matter of you taking two bites and me taking one bite?

of course not!

Does he realize that people will take his acting seriously?

She'll take it seriously.

Okay, Lu Yanxun definitely doesn't know.

The Jiang family members: "..."

Good heavens, I can't bear to look at this.

The dining table was quiet; even the sound of shoveling rice into the bowl had disappeared.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly quiet, a surprised exclamation of admiration suddenly rang out from a corner of the dining table:

"Brother-in-law, you're so..."

Before Jiang Bei could finish speaking, Jiang Guo interrupted him with an elbow strike.

Then Zhou Meixia started to shoo them away: "You two have almost finished eating, go to school."

Jiang Bei quickly shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth: "Mom, I'm not full yet."

The 15-and-a-half-year-old boy is still growing. He usually eats two bowls of rice at noon, but today he only just ran out of 10,000.

Jiang Guo has never had a big appetite; half a bowl of rice is enough for her, and she has already finished eating.

But she didn't want to leave; she wanted to see her sister and brother-in-law eat a bowl of rice, one bite at a time.

To prevent her mother from noticing that she had finished eating, Jiang Guo quickly added a spoonful of vegetable soup to her bowl.

Holding the bowl, she pretended to drink soup, but her eyes were fixed on Lu Yanxun and Jiang Zao.

Jiang Bei was the same; he was shoveling rice into his mouth with his hands, his eyes not even on the bowl.

Zhou Meixia could tell what the two of them were thinking with just a glance, and boldly offered them the condition that they get out of here quickly: "Fifty cents each, and leave immediately."

Snap.

The two siblings from the Jiang family put down their bowls at the same time and stood up without hesitation.

Zhou Meixia kept her word, got up and went into the inner room to get the money.

The two siblings followed him inside, leaving Jiang Laiwang alone to face his daughter and son-in-law.

“I’m full too.” Jiang Laiwang put down his chopsticks and forced an unnatural smile. “Yanxun, you and Zao’er continue eating. I’m going inside to take a nap. I have to go out to work this afternoon.”

After Jiang Laiwang finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and went inside without waiting for a response.

Zhou Meixia took two 50-cent bills from the drawer and whispered to Jiang Bei and Jiang Guo before handing them out:

"Your sister is staying at home for a while. You two shouldn't talk nonsense anymore. From today onwards, pretend you're mute, understand?"

"why?"

Jiang Bei and Jiang Guo were both puzzled.

Zhou Meixia glared back sharply and said, "I asked you two if you heard me, not why! Did you hear me?!"

Zhou Meixia made a move to take the money back.

The two siblings were dissatisfied, but dared not ask any more questions.

For the sake of that precious fifty cents, I suppressed my curiosity.

They all nodded obediently, "We heard you."

Zhou Meixia gave them the money and told them to hurry up and go to school, so they wouldn't get in their sister's and brother-in-law's way at home.

The two took the money and went to school with a belly full of questions and half-full stomachs.

On their way to school, the brother and sister had a heated discussion.

Jiang Bei, a member of the brother-in-law's party, praised his heroic brother-in-law for how good and caring he was to his sister.

Jiang Guo, representing the older sister, argued that her great sister deserved all the preferential treatment.

After much discussion, they both agreed with each other's point of view.

Before stepping into the school gates, the two reached a consensus: their sister and brother-in-law were a very loving couple!

Zhou Meixia didn't go out again after taking the money.

Jiang Laiwang and Jiang Laiwang hid in the room and whispered to each other.

The conversation revolved around Lu Yanxun and Jiang Zao.

The subject of their discussion was still the silent standoff at the dinner table over who ate a few more bites and who ate a few less.

"Don't you know the rules?" Jiang Zao gritted her teeth and leaned back.

Speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, he complained to Lu Yanxun, "Although we agreed to put on an act in front of our parents, you've gone a bit too far with your acting, haven't you?"

Jiang Zao's voice was very hoarse, and the volume was kept to a minimum, almost just a breath.

Lu Yanxun heard it very clearly.

But he acted as if he hadn't heard Jiang Zao speak.

turn a deaf ear.

He insisted on feeding her: "Finish this bite first."

"Don't pretend you can't hear me, I know you heard me." Jiang Zao tried to brush Lu Yanxun's hand away.

Lu Yanxun calmly avoided the question, saying, "Let's talk after I finish this egg."

"I won't, you can... um..."

Before Jiang Zao could finish speaking, Lu Yanxun stuffed an egg into her mouth.

She instinctively wanted to spit it out, but after spitting it out halfway, she suddenly realized that it was very impolite, and finally resigned herself to sucking it back into her mouth.

Chew it, chew it, and swallow it.

Jiang Zao turned her head to look around and saw that there was no one else but her and Lu Yanxun.

Her voice rose slightly: "And tell me, didn't you tell my dad? Tell me, didn't you?"

Lu Yanxun didn't answer, but scooped up a mouthful of rice and continued to feed Jiangzao: "Have another bite."

Jiang Zao glared at the rice, then looked up at Lu Yanxun.

She retorted, "Didn't you say that if I take one bite, you'll take two? I've already taken a bite, now it's your turn."

Lu Yanxun stopped pretending not to hear and readily ate the rice on his chopsticks.

Then he scooped up a piece with his chopsticks and ate it himself, and then scooped up another piece for Jiangzao.

"It's your turn."

Jiangzao: "..."

She knew Lu Yanxun was faking it!

He was definitely doing it on purpose; he was clearly trying to bully her.

"Lu Yanxun, you've gone too far. Not only did you complain to my dad, but you also bullied me at my house."

Seeing Jiang Zao's flustered, kitten-like posture, Lu Yanxun gently coaxed, "After you finish this meal, I'll give you an explanation."

Jiang Zao pouted so much her lips could hang an oil bottle: "My parents aren't here, can you stop acting? Just tell me."

Lu Yanxun stared at Jiang Zao for a moment, then replied calmly, "I'll tell you after I finish this bowl of rice."

Jiang Zao was so angry at Lu Yanxun's words that she almost laughed: "Just now it was a mouthful of rice, and now it's a bowl of rice. Lu Yanxun, you're more suited to be a robber."

Looking at Jiang Zao's rosy, puffed-up little face, Lu Yanxun suddenly found Jiang Zao rather amusing.

His brows relaxed unconsciously, and a hint of a smile appeared in his soft voice: "Then I won't say."

Jiang Zao knew that if Lu Yanxun said he wouldn't say it, he definitely wouldn't.

She wanted to spite him and say that if he didn't want to say it, then so be it.

But in the end, she inexplicably agreed to his condition: "I'll only eat one bite, don't expect me to eat a whole bowl."

Lu Yanxun's attitude was ambiguous: "You eat first."

Jiangzao opened her mouth and ate the rice: "It's your turn to eat."

Lu Yanxun ate a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables, and as usual, offered another bite to Jiang Zao: "It's your turn."

Jiang Zao, who was waiting for Lu Yanxun to speak, realized that she had been tricked and gave Lu Yanxun an incredulous look.

"Lu Yanxun, you lied to me. You said you would give me an explanation after you finished this meal. You liar."

Lu Yanxun gave a helpless shrug: "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

Jiang Zao frowned: "Then you tell me."

Lu Yanxun's tone was very serious: "I didn't."

Jiang Zao frowned even more: "You're alright?"

Lu Yanxun replied, "I did not complain."

Jiang Zao's face darkened; she was completely enraged.

She was so angry she almost jumped up: "I don't believe you! You're lying to me! You liar!"

Lu Yanxun: "..."

He already said it, but she won't believe him.

Lu Yanxun was silent for a while, then proposed a compromise: "Why don't you finish this bowl of rice first, and I'll tell you in detail when we get back to the room."

Jiang Zao, her face grim, simply turned her back to Lu Yanxun and said, "No need, I don't want to hear it."

Lu Yanxun's chopsticks followed: "Eat your food."

Jiang Zao turned her face to the other side, dodging Lu Yanxun's chopsticks: "I'm not eating either."

"Have two more bites."

"I will not eat."

"Just one bite."

"I won't eat a single bite."

……

In the room.

Voices urging people to eat and those refusing to eat kept coming.

The Jiang couple frowned as they listened.

"Are they in a good relationship or not?" Jiang Laiwang grimaced as he listened, unable to resist asking Zhou Meixia.

Zhou Meixia rolled her eyes at Jiang Laiwang: "Of course it's good, isn't that just flirting?"

"How long will it take to feed him? Yan Xun is so patient." Jiang Laiwang clicked his tongue.

Zhou Meixia chuckled to herself, "Why do you care how long they feed him? As long as Yan Xun is happy, that's all that matters. I think he's quite happy."

Jiang Laiwang scratched his head: "But it's not right for our Zao'er to keep bullying others. I think Yan Xun looks a bit pitiful."

Zhou Meixia raised an eyebrow:

"Isn't our Zao'er pitiful? Have you forgotten how she's been living these past six months? What's wrong with bullying her for a few days? If she can't even take this much bullying, how will she support Zao'er in the future? Stop talking about being pitiful, what's with all your fuss about men being so dramatic!"

Jiang Laiwang snorted and curled his lip: "Zao'er is pitiful because of you. I never thought this marriage would go well!"

"Oh?" Zhou Meixia stood up from the edge of the bed, put her hands on her hips and pointed at Jiang Laiwang. "Jiang Laiwang, who said we wouldn't talk about those things anymore? You told me not to mention them, but you bring them up so readily!"

"What did I bring up?" Jiang Laiwang sat up straight, meeting Zhou Meixia's accusation head-on. "You brought it up first, didn't you? You're the only one who can bring it up, but I can't?"

Zhou Meixia seemed to be furious and raised her voice to argue with Jiang Laiwang:

"What did I bring up again? When did I bring it up? Explain yourself clearly, Jiang Laiwang. You have to give me an explanation today!"
