Chapter 424: Do You Miss Xiaoyu?
“Peel them clean.” Gu Nianshen walked up to Lin Yiqian with the container of lobsters proudly.
Using the chopsticks in his other hand, he pointed at the lobsters in the container that were not properly peeled as he spoke in a demanding manner.
Lin Yiqian took a glimpse of the lobsters. The tiny parts of shells still attached to the lobsters could easily be disregarded.
Clearly, the fellow was looking for trouble. “Gu Nianshen, are you being nit-picky?”
“No, I’m just pointing out that the shells haven’t been peeled off properly.”
Lin Yiqian could not believe what she was hearing.
Was he being serious?
When Lin Yiqian saw Gu Nianshen’s serious-looking face, she was torn between being angry and finding it funny.
Never mind… He was just trying to pick on the small things. Lin Yiqian decided she would peel them properly and see where else he could find fault about her.
Carefully, she began picking the lobsters up as pointed out by Gu Nianshen as she peeled them clean one at a time.
“They’re all properly peeled. Are you happy now?” Lin Yiqian asked as she wiped her hands clean.
Gu Nianshen glanced down at the lobsters and seemed satisfied at last.
However, he did not eat them immediately. “Did you peel these all on your own earlier?”
“Who else did?” Lin Yiqian raised her brows.
Was he hoping that the staff from the restaurant had done it? Was he not worried that their hands might not be cleaned after they went to the restroom?
“Oh.”
Gu Nianshen suddenly lowered his head. He did not sound as proud and arrogant as he did before.
As Lin Yiqian was unsure if she had picked that up mistakenly, she tilted her head and observed Gu Nianshen’s facial expression.
All of a sudden, Gu Nianshen used his chopsticks to pick up some lobster flesh and brought it close to Lin Yiqian’s mouth.
“What are you doing?” Lin Yiqian subconsciously lifted her head up and away from him out of surprise.
Was he feeding her?
However, his face still remained expressionless. Therefore, Lin Yiqian felt uncertain and was afraid of opening her mouth.
Could it be because he thought that piece of lobster flesh was not peeled properly?
Lin Yiqian was about to carefully examine the piece of lobster flesh when Gu Nianshen frowned and raised his voice. “Can’t you tell that I’m rewarding you?”
He sounded proud, almost as if he was saying, ‘hurry up and receive your gift with thanks’.
Lin Yiqian was speechless.
She hesitated as to whether she should curse out loudly.
“Open your mouth,” Gu Nianshen said impatiently as he shoved the lobster flesh toward her lips. Lin Yiqian opened her mouth in surprise.
Once the lobster flesh was in her mouth, she began to chew half-mindedly.
What was up with this guy? Why was he feeding her?
Although he had said it was a reward, it was still an act of feeding.
Lin Yiqian should feel happy. Why was she feeling insecure instead?
Gu Nianshen shifted his gaze to the cabinet once he had placed the lobster flesh in Lin Yiqian’s mouth. He was looking at the pink dress hung on the metal bar inside the cabinet.
Lin Xiaoyu’s adorable face appeared in his mind all of a sudden.
It was an image of Xiaoyu smiling at him pleasantly.
Gu Nianshen felt a softness in his heart.
He then returned his gaze to Lin Yiqian’s face. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were sending the little jerk away?”
Lin Yiqian was surprised by the sudden mention of Xiaoyu. However, it was a pleasant sort of surprise.
“Do you miss Xiaoyu?” Lin Yiqian asked.
Gu Nianshen looked away as he felt Lin Yiqian might be making fun of him with that indistinguishable tone of hers. “Why would I miss a little jerk? You should have sent him away long ago.”
He picked up another piece of lobster flesh as he spoke.
“To think that Xiaoyu was still saying how much he missed you when he left. You are heartless.” Lin Yiqian snorted.
