I Dreamt of You (2)
Jiang Xiaoman would eat whatever she was given. She took note that Yu Qingshi had just recovered and it wasn’t good for him to eat something with a very strong flavor, so she only took two bowls of plain porridge, a stack of xiaolongbao2 and two cups of soy milk.
Jiang Xiaoman asked him, “What else do you want to eat?”
Yu Qingshi shook his head.
Shaking his head meant that it was up to her.
Putting the breakfast in front of him, Jiang Xiaoman grabbed a xiaolongbao, while Yu Qingshi ate a spoonful of plain porridge.
Xiaolongbao had a thin wrapping and a lot of fillings, and when you bit into it, the rich and delicious soup inside would splash out, and the delicious taste would rush into your mouth, occupying your taste buds.
Jiang Xiaoman immediately widened her eyes in surprise and said wuu wuu a few times. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took another bite.
So delicious!
The seafood stuffing was really fresh!
Jiang Xiaoman took two bites herself, and then realized that Yu Qingshi opposite her had been looking at her, the spoon in his hand freezing.
…Did he want to eat her xiaolongbao?
Jiang Xiaoman beckoned him, “Come here.”
Really, this action was just like calling a dog.
Yu Qingshi grumbled to himself twice but didn’t say anything, and he obediently changed his seat and sat down next to Jiang Xiaoman.
“Aah.” Jiang Xiaoman motioned for him to open his mouth.
Yu Qingshi hesitated for a while, then bit the bullet and said “aah”.
Then he was rewarded immediately—Jiang Xiaoman took a xiaolongbao and fed it into his mouth.
“Is it delicious?” Jiang Xiaoman asked.
“Uh-huh!!” Yu Qingshi nodded vigorously.
It was delicious, but what was even better was being fed by her!
Yu Qingshi’s eyes lit up and he found a pleasant way to eat. He still wanted to eat, but he didn’t want to move. He just looked at Jiang Xiaoman and the xiaolongbao with a deep meaning.
‘I still want some, I want more’ was written on his face, but he didn’t say a word.
Jiang Xiaoman was very responsible and played the role of translator. With just one look at Yu Qingshi, she knew what the other party was thinking, and she immediately took another one and fed it into his mouth.
Yu Qingshi seemed to like eating this, so Jiang Xiaoman took another basket of the dimsum along with a vinegar plate, and fed him after dipping it in vinegar.
Two little lovers feeding each other in harmony.
It was a delightful sight, what a lively morning.
…No, that’s weird.
On the first day of Jiang Xing’s wedding, in order to show his love to his wife, he deliberately got up early to bring her breakfast.
But who would have known that as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw such… such, behavior!
Too much!
That little couple was feeding each other bite by bite, looking very sweet and harmonious.
Nonsense! Were they the one that got married or him?
Wasn’t it the other way around?
Jiang Xing had a sense of crisis looming over the clouds again. He adjusted his facial expression a little, then came towards Jiang Xiaoman and pulled out a chair to sit down.
The chair scratched on the ground, making a harsh sound that shocked the two of them, who were immersed in their own world.
Yu Qingshi sat up straight and stopped sticking to Jiang Xiaoman’s side, his face returning to his usual cold expression. If it weren’t for the pieces of shrimp still left on the corner of his mouth, it would look like nothing had happened.
“Good morning, Uncle.” Jiang Xiaoman greeted him with a smile.
“Hello, Uncle.” Yu Qingshi also greeted Jiang Xing calmly.
Jiang Xing didn’t understand. How could they achieve such a level of unabashedness? Instead, it made him as a parent look like someone unruly.
No, this was not right.
Jiang Xing supported his chin with one hand and said implicitly, “Xiaoman, what were you guys doing just now?”
“Eating breakfast.” Jiang Xiaoman answered very innocently.
Was that what he meant with his question!?
Jiang Xing was annoyed. When he looked at Jiang Xiaoman and Yu Qingshi, he felt that he couldn’t be subtle with these two people. Otherwise, they would easily make a fool of him.
“What you just did, isn’t that not a good influence?” Jiang Xing said, “So many people are watching, isn’t this in public?”
Jiang Xiaoman glanced around and felt that there was something wrong with her uncle’s eyes. They were alone just now, and now that he was here, he was the only other person around.
But she couldn’t expose her uncle like that.
“Oh, what you say is right. Then I won’t feed him xiaolongbao anymore.” Jiang Xiaoman said.
Yu Qingshi also nodded and agreed.
Jiang Xing was satisfied. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he saw Jiang Xiaoman, who had admitted her mistake sincerely, blow on a bowl of porridge and then push it to Yu Qingshi. “It’s not hot anymore, you can drink it. Do it yourself, I’m not going to feed you anymore.”
“Uh-huh!”
Yu Qingshi drank it a few times.
Jiang Xing: “…”
Was this what she meant by not feeding him xiaolongbao anymore?
She wouldn’t feed him xiaolongbao, so she would feed him porridge, was that it?
Jiang Xing was dying of anger.
He decided that he couldn’t be so soft anymore, he had to use some hard means.
They couldn’t be kept here anymore. Students should do student things. If they stayed here any longer, then they would be the one having a honeymoon.
The next day, Jiang Xing came to Jiang Xiaoman and said, “Xiaoman, you’ve been away from home for so long, have you missed a lot of homework? You love studying so much, it’s time to go home and study hard.”
Jiang Xiaoman’s head was full of question marks, “But Uncle, I just finished the college entrance examination.”
After the college entrance examination was over, it was time for everyone to go crazy. What was there to study?
“…Learning is endless, I’ve signed you up for a summer university class.” Jiang Xing rubbed his chin, “You should go back to class.”
Jiang Xiaoman: “…”
Was there such a class?
However, Jiang Xiaoman left in the end. She quickly booked a ticket and left with Yu Qingshi.
