Chapter 193: Best Actor Who Did The “Delivery”
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jian Tan looked at Xia Wei, who was sitting at the dining table with her cheeks puffed up. She took off her mask in amus.e.m.e.nt and walked over to ask in a good mood, “Have you finished lunch? Looks like I’m still a little late.”
As he spoke, he sat in the seat that Luo Ying had just vacated for him. He glanced at the bento box in front of Xia Wei and continued with a smile, “But it doesn’t matter. You can drink this soup that Auntie made! She woke up early today and made it at four o’clock. I tasted a bowl just now. It’s not bad. Try it too!”
Before Xia Wei could even wipe the grease off the corner of her mouth, her eyes were suddenly dazzled by Jian Tan’s overly handsome face!
Xia Wei could not understand that the person knocking on the door was Jian Tan. She was so shocked that she was stunned.
However, Xia Wei quickly came back to her senses when she saw the unfamiliar soup in Jian Tan’s hands.
She looked at Jian Tan without blinking and asked in surprise, “Why are you here at this time? You…”
Xia Wei suddenly paused. She looked at the soup bowl that was still steaming and Jian Tan’s smiling eyes. For a moment, she was speechless.
Jian Tan maintained the action of lifting the bowl in her hand and explained gently, “Didn’t 1 mention it to you that day? I said that 1 would get the auntie at home to make soup for you to nourish your body. Didn’t you agree too?”
As Jian Tan spoke, he stuffed the bowl into Xia Wei’s hand. A bright and charming smile appeared on his face, making it impossible for her to refuse.
Glancing at the thing that was forcefully stuffed into her hand, Xia Wei smiled helplessly. She came back to her senses and looked at Jian Tan’s face. She teased softly, “Did I promise you this the other day? Why don’t I have any impression of it? I don’t dare to drink this bowl of beautiful soup personally sent over by the Best Actor! Don’t tell me there’s gold foil sprinkled in it? The kind that costs several digits to drink?”
Jian Tan raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, “There’s no gold, but I’ve poisoned the soup. Let’s see if you dare to drink it.”
There was an alluring fragrance in the drooling soup. It was difficult for Xia Wei to believe Jian Tan’s words against her will.
She pretended to be benevolent and glanced at Jian Tan. She said calmly, “Forget it. Seeing that Auntie woke up so early and worked so hard, I’ll have a taste! Even if it was really poisoned, it can’t be wasted, right?”
Jian Tan laughed out loud in a good mood. He waited for Xia Wei to take her first sip before looking sideways at the two girls standing beside them in a daze. “Sit down too. Why are you standing there all the time? It’s just that there’s no extra empty bowl. Otherwise, I can give the two of you a bowl each.”
Luo Ying snapped back to her senses and realized that Jian Tan was indeed talking to them. She replied excitedly, “Thank you, Teacher Jian Tan! But there’s no need. You specially brought this for Weiwei. Let’s not drink it! Weiwei’s waist injury hasn’t recovered yet. She should eat some good nourishment!”
As Luo Ying spoke, she seemed to have suddenly realized something. She reached out to hold Lin Yi, who was silent, and continued without a pause, “I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do outside. I’ll go out with Lin Yi for a while! You don’t have to worry about Weiwei’s meal boxes. I’ll come back to collect them later. We’ll go out first!”
After saying this, she pulled Lin Yi and left the room. She did not notice Jian Tan’s confused gaze when she looked at her and Lin Yi.
Xia Wei’s gaze landed on Luo Ying and Lin Yi’s back view as they left in a hurry. She was still slowly drinking her soup, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Jian Tan looked at the door that was slammed shut before turning back to look at Xia Wei.
He was silent for a moment, and the smile in his eyes grew. He teased softly, “Why does this a.s.sistant of yours look like she’s seen a ghost when she sees me? Am I that scary?”
“Do you want to hear what you’re saying? Can you have some self-awareness? You’re not scary! It’s impossible for such a handsome ghost to exist in this world…”
Xia Wei had just come back to her senses and did not notice what she had said.. By the time she slowly reacted and realized that there was something wrong with what she had said, it seemed to be too late!
