C92 (1/2)
He should be happy that she taught her son so well, so obediently, so sensibly, that a woman in a foreign land could give birth to a son while in a bad condition and have such a good upbringing. He should be happy that she taught her son so well, so obediently and so sensibly, that she should be able to give birth to a son in a foreign land.
Thinking about it this way, he finally understood what was going on. He smiled towards Shen Xiran and asked: ”Are you guys hungry? I'll go make some delicious food for you guys.”
There was airplane food on the plane, but it was obviously tasty, to the point that Le Le only ate two bites before stopping.
However, she didn't want to be too close to Si Lianye, so she felt that it was very dangerous to continue like this. Just as she was about to reject him, she felt Le Le tug on her sleeve, lowering her head, she heard him say, ”Mom, I'm hungry.”
With just one sentence, she had broken through her psychological defenses. She sighed helplessly and said to her son, ”Why don't you let mom cook for you?”
Le Le pouted with difficulty: ”But, I want to be with mother.”
Shen Xiran raised his eyebrows, and upon seeing it, he quickly said: ”I will do it.”
Without waiting for an answer, he turned and walked back to the kitchen.
Shen Xiran looked at his back, and could only sigh.
Le Le smiled and said to his mother: ”Mom, I want to hug you.”
She bent down and picked him up, then tapped his nose. ”No, you can't just let someone hug you now that you're older.”
Le Le wrapped his arms around her neck and stuck his tongue out. ”But I just want my mother to hug me.”
Shen Xiran's heart soured. He knew that this was due to his son feeling insecure from not being by his side for so long that he had to hug him to feel comfortable. His heart softened, but he still said with a face, ”It can't always be like this, understand?”
Le Le smiled and nodded. At the moment, his mood, which had been hugged by his mother was elated, he went close to his mother's ear and asked: ”Is the food made by that Uncle Si delicious?”
She hesitated. ”Yeah, I'm fine.”
Le Le rolled his eyes and asked again, ”Has your mother eaten before?” Seeing her mother nod, she then said something that she did not expect, ”Does Uncle Si like you?”
She was stunned, then felt her face burning, and could not help but berate her son: ”What nonsense are you spouting? Who taught you that? ”
He was only five years old, how could he know this?
However, Le Le said nonchalantly: ”You don't need to teach me to know. I heard my teacher say that if a boy likes a girl, he will cook for her, and there are also girls who would do the same. Also, my classmates have quite a few girlfriends already.”
Shen Xiran was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He previously knew that foreigners were more open-minded, and their education for children was more advanced, but Le Le had only gone to kindergarten to teach these things.
She looked at Le Le and could not help but ask: ”You don't have a girlfriend, right?” When she asked him, her heart was pounding, and she wondered if she should teach him a lesson or praise his charm at such a young age if he said she did.
Fortunately, Le Le's answer made her heave a sigh of relief: ”I didn't.”
”That Amy wanted to be my girlfriend, but she was too dark. I didn't like black girls, and that Niya liked me, too, but she had no teeth and she was ugly, so I didn't agree, and they were crying. Mom, am I great?”
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and didn't know how to respond. She couldn't help but wonder if this was because the kindergarten's education was too advanced or if her son was gifted.
Just then, Si Lianye walked over with a steaming hot tray, and upon smelling it, Le Le immediately cheered. She did not want to show off her ”achievements” to her mother anymore, she struggled out of her embrace and threw herself at Si Lianye: ”Wow, it smells so good!”
When he placed the tray on the table, Shen Xiran saw three bowls of noodles placed on top of the tray. They were red, green and yellow mixed in, looking extremely appetizing.
Si Lianye looked at them warmly and explained, ”We just came back, there's nothing in the fridge. I've searched for half a day but could only find these, let's just eat. Next time I'll make something delicious for you guys.”
Right now, he looked completely like a family chef, completely harmless.
However, Shen Xiran's face did not look that good. Walking up, he stayed silent for a while and then said: ”It's good, the taste should not be bad either.”
Si Lianye felt that her voice was weird, and raised her head to look at her, only to see that she was staring at the noodles strangely. At the same time, Le Le also looked at her mother strangely.
Shen Xiran forced out a smile: ”Alright, I'll feed you now.”
Le Le shook his head: ”No, I'll eat it myself.” Ever since he was young, he had been trained to be very independent, so eating food was not a problem.
”Alright, Le Le is the most obedient.”
Shen Xiran brought a small chopstick for him and placed it in front of him along with the noodles. After watching him steadily use the chopsticks to put the noodles in his mouth, he looked at Si Lianye and said, ”I haven't seen you do this in so many years, your cooking seems to have improved a lot.”
There was another meaning to his words that made Si Lianye a little confused. ”Aren't you clear on how good my cooking is?”
Speaking of which, although Si Lianye's culinary skills were good, not many people knew about it. Other than him, the only other person who ate the food he cooked was Shen Xiran.
