Shen Que finished the drink in one go.
But Jiang Cheng was still holding the bowl, not finished?
Shen Que felt a jolt in his heart, he seemed to have misunderstood.
Jiang Cheng held back a laugh and pointed to the bowl of potato Flying Dragon.
"Sister, I’ll serve you!"
Shen Yue intercepted halfway, took Jiang Cheng’s bowl, and scooped several spoonfuls of soup.
"Sister, this tastes great with rice!"
Shen Yue eagerly put down the bowl, completely ignoring her big brother’s look.
He doesn’t try, but doesn’t allow others to try either!
"If Yue Yue says it’s good, it must be good."
Jiang Cheng gave Shen Que a helpless look.
The opportunity was there, but unfortunately, someone didn’t seize it.
Before Shen Que could express his speechlessness, a rice bowl appeared before him.
"Big Brother, get me some soup too."
Shen Xing handed over the rice bowl, eyes sparkling for praise.
How about that, Big Brother, isn’t it still up to me??
Shen Que was even more speechless.
If it weren’t for you two, I could do better.
The meal lasted for an hour or so.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up together, and soon it was done.
Grandma Shen handed the previously prepared braised venison to the Sun Family and the Li Family, one box each.
Jiang Cheng packaged some dried mushrooms, peanuts, and hazelnuts bought from the countryside into two bags, one for Principal Wang and one for Manager Guo.
Principal Wang felt embarrassed.
How come he ended up both eating and taking things?
Manager Guo felt similarly embarrassed, already thinking of how to return the favor.
"Both of you don’t have to worry, I don’t plan to spend a dime on the travel and accommodation to the provincial capital."
After Jiang Cheng said this, he personally saw the two out.
"Goodbye."
Jiang Cheng waved goodbye and turned around, a smile climbing up her face.
Three meters away stood Shen Que.
Shen Que didn’t dare to stand too close, fearing he might startle Jiang Cheng if she suddenly turned around.
But once Jiang Cheng turned and saw him, Shen Que walked over briskly.
"Did you have enough to eat?"
This was the first thing Shen Que asked.
Jiang Cheng wanted to tease him after hearing this.
She beckoned Shen Que with a finger, signaling him to lower himself.
Shen Que bent over, lowered his head, and leaned closer.
Jiang Cheng observed, and when no one was around, tiptoed.
Her lips quickly landed on Shen Que’s cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Shen Que’s pupils suddenly widened, fists clenched, his breath paused for a moment, lips tightly pressed.
Fireworks exploded in the depths of his mind, condensed into four words: She kissed me! She kissed me! She kissed me!
The cornered Jiang Cheng quickly retreated, blinking her eyes.
"Did you miss me?"
The four words brought Shen Que back to reality, nodding vigorously, as if solemnly swearing.
"Yes!"
Jiang Cheng beamed, not a hint of shyness, boldly asking, "How much did you miss me?"
How much?
This question stumped Shen Que.
He didn’t know what measure to use.
"I miss you every day, does that work?"
Shen Que shot back.
Jiang Cheng’s eyes smiled into crescents.
"That works!"
After saying this, Jiang Cheng still wanted to tease Shen Que, but someone was approaching.
A bit of a pity, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Let’s head back."
"Okay!"
Jiang Cheng walked ahead, Shen Que followed behind.
Shen Que touched the place Jiang Cheng had just kissed with his fingertip.
His heart was involuntarily hot, racing.
The joy from the adrenaline rush lingered.
