Chapter 790 - Being Close To An Outsider (1/2)
Ling Sheng had never dreamed that during the first Spring Festival since her ‘arrival’, she would be eating New Year’s Eve dinner with the Third Master and Auntie Yu.
She had initially planned to cook the New Year’s Eve meal herself, but time was really too tight. After filming the Spring Festival Gala, she did not have the time or energy left to cook. Hence, she had just wanted to make something easy to eat. Barbecue meat and hotpot were definitely her first choice. It was warm and effortless.
The ingredients for barbecue meat and hotpot had been prepared by Zuo Ming in advance. Ling Sheng had specifically asked for them. The barbecue ingredients had been personally prepared by her, and the hotpot ingredients had been stir-fried by her beforehand.
The hotpot was a twin pot. One pot contained spicy soup, and the other pot contained a clear soup that had been boiled in advance. After she had guessed her father’s idea, she had deliberately boiled it and added a lot of Chinese medicine ingredients to nourish Auntie Yu’s stomach. It was specially stewed for Auntie Yu.
Jun Shiyan helped carry out the dishes. He took a look at Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu, who were sitting on separate ends of the long sofa, and secretly exchanged looks with Ling Sheng.
The duo seemed to be minding their own business. One of them was cold, and the other was silent. However, the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
Xiaoqi was a clever child. He carried a fruit platter and offered it back and forth, feeding this person one moment, and the other the next.
The television was on, and the Spring Festival Gala was still ongoing. It was now time for the crosstalk performance. Teacher Zhao Xiang and Teacher Ma Yiming were the eternal gold-medal partners.
Huo Ci liked the duo’s crosstalk the most. He was also familiar with them. In order to act well as a crosstalk character, he had once learned from them. They were considered his masters. When he heard the two of them, one of them being the supporting role and the other being the leading character, they tickled his funny bone. His laughter alone echoed in the entire ward.
They were unsure if Xiaoqi understood, but when he saw Grandpa laughing, he laughed foolishly too.
Nangong Lengyu could not help but laugh as well. It was too funny. She did not know if it was because she had not heard a crosstalk in a long time, but she fell in love with it in an instant
Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Ci could not help but glance to the side. When the woman smiled, there were a few hints of smoke and fire in her smile, and she was no longer like a cold, lifeless statue.
