Chapter 160 Does she like me?

In front of the long table.

Chen An sat down as he was told.

The girl walked back to her seat and opened the lunch boxes one by one.

A faint fragrance wafts out.

Chen An took a look and was stunned.

Because it was not the dazzling array of dishes as expected, but instead looked rather simple, with just some home-cooked dishes.

But even if we only consider the appearance, it will definitely not be bad.

The most important thing is…why does it feel like it’s just what he likes?

Just as I was thinking about it, a cup of black tea was handed to me.

The tea soup is clear, mellow and slightly steaming.

“Do you need my help?”

Bai Congqiu suddenly asked.

“Help with what?”

Chen An had just brought the dishes and chopsticks when he was stunned by her question.

Bai Congqiu said nothing and silently picked up a prawn.

The shrimps are tiger prawns, which are really big. The skin is fried until slightly yellow and then drizzled with a layer of starch sauce. The aroma is very appetizing.

Then, under Chen An’s gaze, the pair of soft and white hands gently pinched the shrimp body and peeled off the shrimp shell bit by bit, revealing the intact shrimp inside.

The slender white fingertips were stained with a little starch sauce and quickly brought to his lips.

“Open your mouth.”

That voice was always a little cold, without much emotion.

Chen An was obviously shocked, and when he heard her say that, he opened his mouth subconsciously.

Just when I realized something seemed wrong, the shrimp had already entered my stomach.

The slender white fingertips were retracted, accidentally brushing against the lips and teeth, feeling icy cold.

“……Thanks.”

Chen An looked at her, held his breath for a long time, and finally uttered these two words.

The main thing is that she acted as if it was a matter of course. Then, as a vested interest, if he says something, it would make him seem… pretentious?
Forget it, forget it.

Have a meal!

Chen An picked up a snow-white meatball and ate a mouthful of rice.

Sure enough, it was fish balls.

He loved eating it when he was a child, but it seemed different from what he had eaten before, probably because of the difference in ingredients and cooking methods.

More tender and chewy.

then……

The white and tender hand reached out again.

This time Chen An didn’t open his mouth in a hurry, but looked up at her.

Probably sensing his gaze, the girl also looked over, her clear eyes moving slightly.

As if asking, what’s wrong?
“It won’t be so troublesome…”

Chen An resisted the urge to swallow the shrimp in front of him and looked away.

“No trouble.”

“Then you eat it too.”

Having lived two lives, Chen An’s mental age is not young anymore, so it’s inevitable that he feels a little embarrassed to be “fed” by her like this.

“I’m not hungry yet.”

The girl shook her head. After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Chen An would refuse again, she added: “I’ll watch you eat.”

As he spoke, he extended his fingertips forward.

Of course, I didn’t ask him to eat his fingers, but the freshly peeled shrimps.

Although the slender white fingertips were stained with starch sauce, it made people want to take a sip of it.

But Chen An was not that perverted after all, and the thought just flashed through his mind.

He hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.

The girl successfully fed the animal, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness between her brows quietly dissipated.

She withdrew her hand and continued to peel the shrimp.

At the beginning, my technique was a little unfamiliar, but as I gained experience, I gradually became faster and the shrimp meat I peeled became more complete and attractive.

That beautiful face was full of concentration, as if for her now, even peeling shrimps had become something worth taking seriously.

To be honest, Chen An originally wanted to refuse.

However, this “temptation” was just right, and he could only watch the shrimps in his bowl increase in number.

From time to time, he would be directed by the girl to open his mouth and take a bite.

Luxurious, too luxurious!
Taking advantage of the time when he was being fed, Chen An quickly reflected on himself.

He is a good young man with hands and feet, how could he be so depraved?

Wait a minute…I won’t reflect on this for now.

The shrimps are here again.

Chen An opened his mouth and ate the last one.

Then he looked around, but before he could say anything, he saw the girl stand up and lean half of her body towards him.

They were originally sitting opposite each other. Now Bai Congqiu’s posture undoubtedly made the two of them very close.

Her long, smooth black hair fell and gently brushed across Chen An’s nose.

Facing the girl’s cold eyes that were free of any lust, Chen An was slightly stunned.

The closer I get, the more I can feel her uniqueness.

Bai Congqiu’s face had no expression as usual, except for his skin, which was white and delicate, as if it could be broken by a touch.

“What, what’s wrong?”

Chen An was a little confused.

Come to think of it, he was stunned many times today, much more than usual.

And it’s all because of the same person.

In past memories, the girl was undoubtedly outstanding. Even Chen An, who was reborn, sometimes felt inferior to her in some aspects.

But she was still young at that time. No matter how “charming” the girl was, in Chen An’s eyes, she was just a child who was good enough and outstanding.

Sometimes I’ll be a little bit willful…or in a bad mood.

It doesn’t make people feel disgusted, but instead feels more real, even cute.

But now, after several years have passed, when we were really face to face, I suddenly realized it.

She has really grown up.

Whether in temperament or appearance, she is already a gorgeous girl who cannot be ignored.

It was so close that I could vaguely feel the warm breath.

Chen An leaned back slightly to create some distance.

“Don’t move.”

Noticing his movements, Bai Congqiu spoke softly, her eyes fixed on the corner of the boy’s lips, where there was inevitably some oil.

Just now, Chen An looked around, trying to find some paper to wipe his mouth.

Bai Congqiu took the tissue and gently wiped the boy’s face without any hesitation.

The movements are gentle and delicate.

Such postures and actions, happening between two boys and girls of appropriate age, should be somewhat ambiguous.

But she did it anyway, neither shy nor coy, just like when she peeled shrimp for him before, everything was very natural.

Therefore, the slight ambiguity that should have existed was destroyed before it was even born.

Chen An couldn’t even find any opportunity to refuse.

She was so frank and open, just like when they were alone as children, and the girl would take good care of him at that time.

Although Chen An never called her sister at that time, this little girl who liked to carry a book with her wherever she went always regarded herself as such.

After all, he is one year older, so maybe you feel a sense of mission to take care of him?

Now that things have gone around in circles, that sense of mission…seems to be back again?
It can’t be that she likes me, right?
Chen An’s mind suddenly became a little confused at this moment, and he found it difficult to calm down and think.

But he quickly threw the last unreliable guess out of his head.

One of the three greatest illusions in life: she likes me.

“Thank you.”

Chen An came back to his senses and said thank you.

After wiping his mouth, the girl sat back quietly without making any unnecessary movements.

“Is it still to your liking?”

After asking, Bai Congqiu picked up another pair of chopsticks, swept the shrimp shells on the table into the rice container, and then cleaned the table with a paper towel.

“Of course, it’s delicious.”

Without being stingy with his comments, Chen An had almost finished eating, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and helped her clean up.

“By the way, you really don’t want to eat something?”

Chen An deliberately only touched two of the dishes, leaving the remaining four intact in their respective lunch boxes.

Cover them one by one to keep the temperature.

But the girl seemed to have misunderstood him. She stared at his movements and suddenly asked, “Don’t you like these?”

She clenched her hand around the chopsticks a little tighter, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

“I can ask someone to send it again.”

She lowered her eyes.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Chen An always feels that the girl who asked this question seems a little nervous?

Do you feel that you didn’t treat him well enough?
Please, if this is not a good reception, then the only thing left is for her to do it herself.

“No, I wanted to save some for you, in case you suddenly want to eat it later?”

After Chen An finished explaining, he laughed.

“Today’s meal is already very good, especially the president peeling the shrimps himself. It is really an honor for me.”

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the four words “Mr. President”, obviously joking.

“Are you coming tomorrow?”

The sudden question startled Chen An, and he looked up.

The girl looked at him, and there was a rare hesitation on her usually cold face.

“I’ll peel it for you tomorrow.”

She whispered it out.
