Chapter 85: If you dare shout 'little brother' again, I'll eat it!

"Nothing." Jiang Cheng said.

"Ah?" Yujie showed a disappointed expression.

She seemed to have forgotten who, just now in the bathroom, told her own best friend that being able to swallow what Jiang Cheng made was already impressive.

And who, just now in the bathroom, shouted that they wouldn't eat anything at night? Jiang Cheng thought the same, wanting to watch Yujie.

Suddenly he felt Yujie's expression looked a little pitiful.

So he got up and said, "There's still two-thirds of the ingredients left in the fridge; I'll go make another serving for you."

After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked toward the kitchen.

In his heart he didn't blame Yujie for the trouble.

From the time we met until now, your looks and figure, Yujie, are enough to instantly defeat the vast majority of women.

Moreover, he's a teacher, with his buff maxed out.

But compared to those little fairies who think they're pretty, Yujie is far better.

So making another serving of dumplings for Yujie, Jiang Cheng didn't find it troublesome.

Su Manyao watched Jiang Cheng's cheerful back as he went to the kitchen, the corner of her mouth involuntarily curling into a smile, her gaze falling on the two remaining dumplings on the coffee table.

She swallowed her saliva, wanting to eat.

But she decided to wait a bit; she couldn't lose her composure.

She really hadn't expected Jiang Cheng could make a bowl of ordinary dumplings smell so purely fragrant, just hearing it made her feel hungry.

Not long after, Jiang Cheng had finished making the dumplings and brought them out.

Su Manyao sat upright on the living-room sofa; seeing Jiang Cheng come out, she furtively glanced at him with her beautiful eyes twice, then quickly looked back at the TV.

"Stop pretending, just eat." Jiang Cheng placed the bowl of dumplings onto Su Men, then said in front of the coffee table.

You say I'm pretending?!

Su Manyao's gaze snapped over, glaring at Jiang Cheng with a grimace of clenched teeth.

Then, seeing that he wasn't at all afraid, she felt she was truly hungry.

Alright, then I won't pretend.

Hehe!

A smile spread across Yujie's face; she slid off the sofa onto the floor and happily picked up her chopsticks.

She picked up a dumpling, touched it with her tender lips, which seemed a bit hot.

"Hoo-hoo~~"

She blew hard two breaths, making sure it wouldn't burn her lips, then pursed her mouth and gently bit with her teeth.

The first bite only got the dumpling skin, which she munched on with a "bah-bah" sound.

The soup inside spilled out, falling into the spoon holding the dumplings.

"Slurp~"

Her lips clasped the spoon as she sucked a mouthful of broth.

"Not bad." Su Manyao turned her head, looked at Jiang Cheng sitting on the sofa, and said lightly.

Then she turned back and blew two breaths on the dumplings in the spoon.

Jiang Cheng stared at Yujie with a strange look.

His tone was very flat; is his body being honest?

Jiang Cheng also didn't know how much Yujie would eat; he himself felt not full, mainly because he'd been eating at the big cafeteria for a long time, and this was the first time he'd made something himself, so his appetite was especially good.

Therefore, compared to before, the second batch of dumplings he cooked had a few more than the first.

But in the end, Yujie actually ate the whole bowl, leaving none.

He even heard Yujie, after finishing, smacking her lips; if there were more, she estimated she could eat another two.

Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa, happened to see Su Manyao's back, thinking that with her slim waist, two hands could fully encircle it, wondering how she managed to eat that whole bowl of dumplings. After Yujie finished and sat back on the sofa wiping her mouth, he then realized whether he'd been too open? But it was already done, so he could only pretend nothing happened, picking up the remote on the table to start choosing a movie. When people are nervous or embarrassed, they pretend to be busy; the aloof Yujie is no different.

"The person sitting beside me is not my student, but my boyfriend!"

"The person sitting beside me is not my student, but my boyfriend!"

"The person sitting beside me is my student—pah!"

Yujie, while choosing a movie to watch, silently gave herself a mental pep talk in her heart.

Before, she hadn't thought much about it, or rather didn't dare to think deeply, but today Jiang Cheng confessed, and she also agreed.

After truly putting herself in the role's mindset.

Only then did Yujie suddenly realize that this was a student from her own school, while she was a teacher! How could I do this! Is this dereliction of duty?!

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt Yujie was somewhat cute, but this cute Yujie's house is somewhat big, probably not cheap.

It seems I still need to work hard carrying bricks to earn money; otherwise, later on I'll definitely be accused of eating soft food when I go out.

Jiang Cheng doesn't like eating soft food like that! He's not Cao Dahua of the major crimes unit!

Unless this soft food is really tasty and fragrant! Jiang Cheng thought: Yujie has already eaten the dumplings I made, so her anger should have subsided, right? It shouldn't come to the point of making me sleep on the sofa again, should it?

He hesitated a moment and said, "Can I?"

Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Yujie suddenly, like a puffed-up cat, struck him and said:

"No way!" Jiang Cheng stared for a moment; this was the first time he'd seen Yujie react like this.

Usually, no matter when, Yujie is always calm and breezy, as if she never gets emotional.

What's wrong with Yujie? I haven't even spoken yet! "Why not?" Jiang Cheng also got angry, retorting.

I just don't want to sleep on the sofa, do I need to be this worked up? We've just gotten together and you're making me sleep on the sofa—how are we supposed to go on? Absolutely no compromise; the Family Younger Brother Position must be kept!

Isn't it just that this is your house? Isn't it just that your home is a bit bigger!

This makes Grandpa unhappy; Grandpa won't live... live... Grandpa must definitely live here.

Because Jiang Cheng was thinking about the Family Younger Brother Position, a pair of white-shoed feet had already been stuffed into his arms.

Then I heard the Yujie, whose gaze was already on the TV, say flatly: "Only this."

Jiang Cheng swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

It's not that I just wanted to ask, but can I not sleep on the sofa? How come I still got rewarded? It's like when payday comes and you go ask the boss, "Can you not deduct this month's perfect attendance for being late?" Then you only get half your sentence out, and the boss pulls out a bag of bonuses and smacks it onto you, then adds, "Only these, no more!" May I ask, how should Your Excellency respond?

Of course, I'd just pick it up and run!

Talk less, do more—this is a must-have skill for adults! So Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

Just do it! But gradually, Yujie regretted it.

At this point, having him pull his feet back makes it seem a bit off.

Wouldn't that make me look weak? She was just startled by Jiang Cheng earlier, but now she really wants to date.

But being hehe-ed is still kinda scary, and doing hehe right now would be too fast.

So, startled, she just shoved her feet over.

But that guy isn't polite at all now! Yujie feels she's weak this second, completely under Jiang Cheng's control.

So she adjusted her mindset and said, "Xiaodi, are you happy being with your older sister?"

His gaze, silky, fixed on Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng lifted his head and locked eyes with Yujie.

He actually called me his younger brother?

He grabbed Yujie's delicate, fair feet in one hand and said, "If you dare call me Xiaodi again, I'll eat you!"

Su Manyao: ". Xiaodi."
