Chapter 41 Eating Hot Pot

The moment she saw Ah Xun, Baimei's heart tightened.

She hurriedly and quietly wiped off the lipstick she secretly put on after leaving the dormitory with her hands.

"Sister Ah Xun, are you here? That's great."

Baimei tried her best to pretend to be happy.

"I had something to do tonight, but he insisted on letting me come."

Ah Xun looked at Chen Shihao with a gentle smile, there was an indescribable taste in his eyes.

Baimei's heart felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

Now she doubts what Yin Hong said, is Ah Xun really married?Then why does she often appear at Chen Shihao's house?Isn't she afraid that her husband will misunderstand?

As soon as she thought of Ah Xun getting married and going to Chen Shihao's house without avoiding suspicion, Baimei felt a little disgusted with Ah Xun again.

"Here we come? It's time to eat."

While Chen Shihao was arranging the tables, he turned his face to greet Bai Mei, without any special expression on his face.

Baimei felt sad for a while again, she didn't know where her previous excitement, shyness, and apprehension had gone.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come in quickly."

Ah Xun smiled and pulled Baimei through the door, skillfully took out a pair of ladies' slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them gently at Baimei's feet.

"These are my old slippers, you just wear them."

Baimei put on the pair of elegant slippers mechanically, and walked towards the dining table dully.

"Baimei, come, give me your bag, and I'll find you a place to put it away."

After putting away Baimei's bag, Ah Xun followed Chen Shihao to the kitchen, discussing something with him softly, with a very gentle expression on his face, just like a good companion.

Seeing the two of them whispering and being intimate, Baimei really wanted to dig a hole in the ground, she felt being teased.

"Brother Hao, sister Ah Xun, well, I just answered a phone call, I have something urgent to deal with, so I can't accompany you to dinner."

Baimei plucked up her courage, walked to the door of the kitchen, cleared her throat, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"What's the matter? Is it Bai Zhong?"

Chen Shihao was peeling garlic in his hands, but when Baimei said that he was going to leave, the movements in his hands stopped.

"What? Bai Zhong?! No, no, not him."

Bai Mei hurriedly waved her hands to deny it, she was really afraid that Chen Shihao might misunderstand what was going on between her and Bai Zhong.

"Oh, if there is anything urgent, we have to wait until dinner...Who is Bai Zhong? Is your boyfriend? Unexpectedly, our beautiful Baimei has a boyfriend just after entering college, not bad"

Ah Xun showed joy, walked over, and pulled Baimei to sit on the sofa.

"Baimei, come, tell me, who is Bai Zhong, I will help you check it out"

"Bai Zhong, is that really your boyfriend? Didn't you say that?"

Seeing that Baimei didn't immediately deny that Bai Zhong was her boyfriend, Chen Shihao's face seemed to darken, and his voice seemed to be half serious.

"Why are you like this? It's not a bad thing for someone to find a boyfriend."

Ah Xun also noticed Chen Shihao's somewhat abnormal reaction, so he quickly stopped him from continuing to speak with his eyes.

Seeing Chen Shihao's anxious look, Baimei's heart that had been entangled in the melancholy smoke became a little bit brighter. She really liked to see Chen Shihao's anxious look because of a certain sentence of hers, so that she could guess what she was really in Chen Shihao's heart. There is no location.

"Come on, Baimei, tell me about that Baizhong. I'm very curious. What kind of man is it that captured the heart of our beautiful and kind Baimei so quickly?"

Ah Xun looked at Baimei expectantly, eyes full of concern.

However, Baimei felt that Ah Xun's reaction seemed a bit deliberate.

"Oh Baizhong, he used to be from our Baijiagou, but he was picked up by his own father and changed his name. We only met at the beginning of this semester."

"Change your name?"

Ah Xun seems to be very interested in this kind of gossip.

"Well, he changed his father's surname to Zhigui. His name is now Huang Zhigui, and he is going to University of Science and Technology in City A. We are just fellow villagers, and he is not my boyfriend."

Bai Mei took a sneak peek at Chen Shihao, and found that his eyes were glancing at her from time to time, and she was secretly happy.

Bai Mei felt that it was not good to talk about Bai Zhong's private affairs everywhere, so she gave a brief summary.

"Then why did Bai Zhong separate from his own father? Was he given away at birth? Or..."

Ah Xun had an expression of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

"this."

Baimei was a little embarrassed to speak, and smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, stop talking and eat."

Chen Shihao made the sound of serving dinner just right.

"Our Miss Ah Xun, why are you interested in a boy you have never met before today?"

Chen Shihao looked at Ah Xun with a half-smile, his voice uncharacteristically full of banter.

"Oh, you are so bad. I am conceiving a novel recently. I want to collect more materials. Why are you laughing at me?"

Ah Xun swung his small fist and punched Chen Shihao's chest involuntarily.

"Don't do this, it's not good for people to see."

Chen Shihao looked at Baimei, and gently took Ah Xun's hand away, causing Ah Xun to pout.

The three of them sat around Gululu's steaming hot pot, eating in full swing.

Baimei had never eaten such a delicious hot pot, and she kept eating it as soon as it was served, looking very happy.

In the face of delicious food, all troubles will be temporarily thrown away with the explosion of taste buds.

Tonight's Ah Xun was a little unusual, she seemed to talk a lot, she kept asking Baimei about this and that, with loneliness and jealousy in her eyes from time to time.

"Chen Shihao, hot pot goes with beer. Didn't you buy beer? Quick, go to the supermarket downstairs and buy some cans of beer."

Ah Xun suddenly looked at Chen Shihao and ordered.

"I've been eating for a while. Besides, you two girls, it's better not to drink."

Chen Shihao put down his chopsticks and softly raised his objection.

"No, I just want to drink, so you just say whether you want to go or not? If you want to go, I will go!"

Ah Xun, like a drunkard, insisted on drinking.

Chen Shihao had no choice but to buy wine.

As soon as Chen Shihao left, Ah Xun seemed to be a different person.

She stood up, walked to Baimei, held her hand, and looked at her without moving her eyes.

Baimei was a little overwhelmed by her sudden action.

"The eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, the forehead and the chin, and the face. It's really beautiful. The skin is so young. It can be broken by blowing a bullet."

Ah Xun reached out and stroked Baimei's face gently, Baimei could feel the strength of her hand, if allowed, she really wanted to pinch Baimei's face hard, and then asked her, why she looks so good-looking charming.

"It's really a stunning woman. It's no wonder that Mr. Mo Mei has waited for so many years. The beauty smiles and the country is lazy. It is worthwhile to go to Qiongtai in this life."

Ah Xun withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, looked at Bai Meizai carefully up, down, left, and right, shook his head, chanted a poem with a wry smile, and then took the bag and left.

Baimei saw that tears were shining in her eyes.

Is she married at all?Does she still love Chen Shihao?

Baimei really wanted to figure out these two questions.
