Wen Shu finally stuffed the last piece of watermelon on the plate into his mouth. His mouth was full like a little hamster, and he chewed it for a few times before swallowing it.
Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Xi Lin again, as if to say, "I've eaten all," and then put the fork on the plate without intending to continue eating.
Xi Lin was so cute by her again. In fact, Wen Shu was not usually so childish, but she felt that Xi Lin was deliberately trying to rob her, and she had a strange desire to win that suddenly appeared in her.
The two of them were more childish than the other. Wen Shu put down his fork, and Xi Lin also put it down and stopped eating.
Seeing that both of them had stopped eating, Mother Wen said: "Xiao Lin, if you are not busy, you can have a meal at home at noon, and you can go out to play with Shu Shu in the afternoon. If you are busy, you can do your work first. go."
Mother Wen actually thought that Xi Lin might be busy. When Xi Lin came here in the morning, Yu Wen had called him once. Only then did Xi Lin remember that she had forgotten to tell Yu Wen that he would not go to the company today, in front of the Wen family. At the same time, he hung up without answering the phone and sent another message. Mother Wen didn't see it.
Wen Shu also thought that he might not be free because his phone would sometimes vibrate and he would hang up or occasionally reply to messages. She wanted to say no, but Xi Lin already answered: "I'm free, then." Just trouble Auntie."
Wen Shu didn't speak again.
Mother Wen asked Xi Lin's favorite dish and asked the servant to prepare it for him. Xi Lin politely said that any food was fine. He was not picky about food, but Mother Wen looked at Wen Shu with a smile, which made Wen Shu confused.
Xi Lin seemed to understand what Wen's mother meant, and glanced at Wen Shu thoughtfully. She was a little too thin.
Because the meal wasn't ready yet, there was nothing for the few people to do sitting in the living room, so Grandpa Wen asked Xi Lin to accompany him to play chess, while Wen Shu watched from the side.
The game this time was the white jade chess that Xi Lin gave him last time. The chessboard still looked like the end of the game played by Wen Shu and Grandpa Wen. Grandpa Wen never moved.
The two sat opposite each other, Wen Shu obediently sat in the middle of the chessboard and watched, pouring them a cup of tea from time to time.
The two of them didn't speak, and just played chess quietly. After playing for about ten minutes, Grandpa Wen suddenly said: "Shu Shu, who do you think can win this game between me and Xiao Lin?"
In fact, Wen Shu's mind was not on the chessboard. She had been looking at Xi Lin's hands. In the morning, she felt that Xi Lin's hands were beautiful. The fingers were long and the nails were neatly trimmed. They were warm and strong when holding her.
When the two were playing chess, Xi Lin's hand inevitably appeared on the chessboard, and she couldn't help but focus on his hand.
Everything about him seemed to be just right in her aesthetic point.
She was thinking distractedly when she suddenly heard Grandpa Wen ask her. She was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously glanced at the chess game on the chessboard, but she couldn't tell anything.
She knew that her grandfather was very good at playing chess, but she didn't know how Xi Lin was playing. She raised her eyes and glanced at Xi Lin again. Xi Lin felt her gaze and looked up at her with a smile in her eyes. Wen Shu was hesitant at first, but after looking at him, he immediately said: "Grandpa, I think you must win."
Grandpa Wen saw their little moves and laughed twice, while Xi Lin also raised the corners of his mouth.
Wen Shu felt a little embarrassed for no reason, but she did guess correctly this time. In the end, Grandpa Wen won. Just when she was about to praise him, Grandpa Wen already smiled and said, "Young people are scary."
Xi Lin still spoke humbly: "Grandpa is more powerful."
Grandpa Wen laughed twice more, raised his hand and touched Wen Shu's head on the side, and said, "My granddaughter is so lucky."
Then Wen Shu was kicked out of the study with a puzzled expression. The two people inside didn't know whether they were continuing to play chess or talking about something.
The two of them didn't come out until Wen's mother called for dinner.
When the two came out, Grandpa Wen was obviously in a good mood, but Xi Lin couldn't see any emotion at all. Father Wen also came down from upstairs. Seeing that Xi Lin was still there, he didn't know whether he had figured it out or was short-handed, so he didn't say anything anymore. He spoke angrily.
A few people sat down, Grandpa Wen sat at the head seat, Wen's father and Wen's mother sat on one side, and Wen Shu and Xi Lin sat on the other side. None of them were talkative people, so they all ate quietly because they were afraid that Xi Lin would have to drive in the afternoon. , and did not ask for a drink.
I thought the meal would be finished peacefully, until Wen Shu picked up a carrot and placed it next to the plate. Wen's mother immediately said: "Shu Shu, don't be picky about food."
But Wen Shu didn't want to eat it. She thought the taste of carrots was strange. When she was hesitating, she saw a pair of chopsticks reaching out, picking up the carrots and eating them directly. Wen Shu looked over with the chopsticks, and saw that Xi Lin was already chewing them without changing her expression. After two swallows, he continued to eat, but Wen Shu suddenly blushed. How could he do it so naturally with so many people?
Mother Wen just smiled and said nothing.
It wasn't until Wen Shu picked up another carrot for the second time that he hesitated and didn't put it on the plate. Instead, he stuffed it into his mouth and ate it, fearing that as soon as she put it on the plate, someone would immediately take it away and eat it, in front of so many people. Human face, strictly speaking, they don't have that kind of relationship yet. He is embarrassed but she is embarrassed.
Mother Wen almost laughed out loud. This was the first time since her daughter grew up that she took the initiative to take a carrot into her mouth.
Naturally, Grandpa Wen and Father Wen also saw it, but neither of them said anything. One was thinking about what Xi Lin said to him in the study, and felt that he had indeed picked the wrong person. The other was thinking about being soft on the person, and he saw that his daughter She does seem to like Xi Lin a little bit.
The meal was basically finished in silence, and the elders quickly went about their own business with a wink, leaving only the two of them downstairs.
Xi Lin looked at the little girl in front of him and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Wen Shu actually didn't have a place he wanted to go to, so he said, "Anything is fine."
Xi Lin thought of the strategy guide she had watched again and said, "How about we go watch a movie?"
Wen Shu thought to himself, it's only after two o'clock, which movie is starting? But I also want to hear from my grandpa that Xi Lin has been busy since she was a child and hasn't gone out to play much. Maybe she didn't expect this.
She turned on her phone and took a look at the movie theaters nearby. The earliest one didn't open until after four in the afternoon.
She showed it to Xi Lin. Xi Lin really didn't know that the opening time was so late. He had never been to a cinema or watched a movie since he was a child. Even if he did, he would watch it alone in the video room at home when he was stressed.
Xi Lin thought about taking her home now. Although she was going to watch a movie, the little girl would probably be furious, although he really didn't mean anything else.
But what other activities are there? He thought about the amusement park, but also felt that it was so hot that she didn't know whether she would want to go there. He had never dated anyone, and he had let her go for so long in the morning. It would be best to find some more relaxing activities in the afternoon.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Shu took up his cell phone again and said, "There is a show at this cinema at 2:40, but it's a bit far. Do you want to go?"
Xi Lin didn't expect that she was still looking at her seriously. He turned to look at her and said, "If you want to go, we can go."
Wen Shu hesitated and said, "It's a horror movie, do you watch it?"
Xi Lin smiled and said directly this time: "Look."
