Zhou Heng looked at me with a somewhat gloating smile, talking to Jiang Qingyuan occasionally glancing over at me, I stared at him desperately for help. But I knew he was powerless.
Sure enough, I couldn't escape even during the meal. Thinking I could finally catch my breath, I became the center of attention, with my bowl piled high with food and meat.
Zhou Heng's smile never faded as he sat next to me. I reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
I lowered my voice and said, " Master, can't you help me out of this situation?"
Zhou Heng: "Thank you for your hard work."
Well, he is really calm. But then again, he's not the one being served a big bowl.
"Miss Ling, eat quickly. Eat more, you're so thin." Mrs. Jiang is still enthusiastic, wanting to serve me food. I quickly protect my bowl and pick up my chopsticks to eat.
Grandma Jiang also says, "Yes, I think this girl is too thin. Come to our house for meals more often in the future."
Mrs. Jiang adds, "Miss Ling doesn't live in Rongcheng, but you are always welcome here. Just tell me what you want to eat."
I laughed awkwardly and didn't dare to continue speaking.
Jiang Qingyuan looked at me meaningfully and signaled to Zhou Heng. What exactly were these two communicating?
I questioned with my eyes, but he just smiled helplessly, indicating that he had no solution either.
But he finally spoke up for me and said, "A girl doesn't have such a big appetite, so don't serve her so much food." Mrs. Giang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, we were too happy. Miss Ling, you can eat as much as you want, don't force yourself." I blushed with embarrassment and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality, the food is delicious."
Grandma Jiang: "Really? That's great, I was worried it wouldn't suit your taste."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm, and Mrs. Jiang was especially happy, looking completely different from when I first met her. I really couldn't eat much and left behind a small portion. Feeling very embarrassed, I helped to clean up the table.
In fact, everyone helped with the dishes, and in the end, Mrs. Jiang still managed to push Zhou Heng and me out. She smiled and said, "You young people go to the yard, don't stay in the kitchen."
Jiang Qingyuan This guy, he slipped away a long time ago, and now he's lying comfortably playing with his phone.
Zhou Heng and I stood in the corner of the yard, and in the night breeze, the sandalwood scent on him came towards me. Although he was in casual clothes, he carried a faint scent due to being surrounded by sandalwood all year round.
He looked a bit embarrassed: "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
"You mean Mrs. Jiang? Actually, it's been a long time since I had dinner with my family. I'm quite happy tonight."
His clear eyes sparkled in the dim light, and his calm and composed demeanor remained unchanged.
Him: "It's been a long time since I had this kind of feeling too."
Me: "You are very familiar with Mrs. Jiang and her family, right?"
He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and fell silent.
I didn't know what I had said wrong. He rarely showed this kind of expression.
"Did I say something I shouldn't have?"
He shook his head, "It's not that you shouldn't have said it, it's that I don't want to face it."
I was stunned, looking at him, there was obvious desolation in his eyes. Who did he not want to face? I was increasingly unable to understand his relationship with the Jiang family.
"Zhou Heng, Xiao Ling, come over here." Grandma Jiang waved at us from the opposite side, with a kind and gentle smile. She kept that smile until Zhou Heng and I approached her. She held my hand and asked with concern, "Do you get along well with Zhou Heng?"
I blushed with embarrassment and stammered, "I, I'm okay."
"Zhou Heng, what about you?"
Zhou Heng probably didn't expect to be questioned by Grandma Jiang, and the usually composed person seemed a bit at a loss. He stammered, "Grandma, we, we can still talk."
Grandma Jiang smiled with satisfaction, "That's good."
I don't know what my expression was like, I only saw an unprecedented panic on Zhou Heng's face. I think he himself didn't expect to be in this situation today. Thinking about this, I found it amusing and buried my head to hide my amusement.
"Zhou Heng, Grandma knows that your faith is very firm, but this does not conflict with your faith."
Zhou Heng hesitated and couldn't come up with an answer.
Grandma Jiang said again, "I just hope that in my lifetime, I can see you happy."
Zhou Heng comforted her, saying, "I understand Grandma's intentions," as he held onto her arm.
"That's good, that's good."
Grandma Jiang let go of my hand and Zhou Heng's hand, indicating for us to talk and not to mind her. Watching her walk away unsteadily, Zhou Heng seemed lost in thought, his gaze fixed deeply on her retreating figure.
I sighed and said, "She really cares for you as if you were her own grandson."
He laughed inexplicably when he heard me say that. "Jiang Qingyuan waved and called out, 'Bro, come over here, the tea has gone cold.' 'Bro'? I looked at Zhou Heng in disbelief. Jiang Qingyuan called him 'bro,' so isn't Zhou Heng...
I was dumbfounded.
The sudden shout startled me, and since I was already struggling to walk in high heels, I lost my balance and stumbled forward.
Zhou Heng quickly caught my arm and said with a bright smile, "Come, let's go sit over there."
Zhou Heng and the the Chiang family turned out to be related.
I stared at Zhou Heng like this until I sat down at the tea table in the courtyard. It's my fault for being slow to realize that they care so much about Zhou Heng. I should have thought of this earlier.
Zhou Heng helped me to the chair by the tea table, then bent down and went off to do something, I don't know what.
Jiang Qingyuan saw me looking as if I had suddenly realized something and burst into laughter, "Miss, are you surprised?"
Yes, I was extremely surprised.
Me: " Master Zhou is your real brother?"
Jiang Qingyuan: "Yes, my real brother."
This relationship is something I never dreamed of. No wonder Mrs. Jiang treats Zhou Heng so differently. But how could I have guessed since Zhou Heng doesn't have the Jiang surname.
Jiang Qingyuan just kept laughing there, and I felt like I had fallen into a pit.
Zhou Heng came over in a moment, holding a pair of pink slippers in his hand.
He walked straight to my side and gently placed them on the ground, smiling at me and saying, "Change your shoes, it will be more comfortable this way."
Hmm! He is so thoughtful and considerate, a rare and caring man. If I didn't know him, I would think he has a way with girls, but in fact, I know this is just his usual style.
I'm quite embarrassed, mechanically burying my head and changing my shoes.
There's a gentle stream spreading in my heart, and I gratefully say, " Master, I really appreciate it."
Jiang Qingyuan finally stopped laughing and sat up straight seriously, "Oh, from now on, I should change my way of speaking."
He nodded respectfully at me and said, "sister-in-law, hello." I was originally drinking tea, but his greeting startled me, causing me to spit out the tea in surprise.
