Chapter 166 Dumplings
Chapter 166 Dumplings
After glancing at Chen Jiaxi, he thought it was quite possible, since the woman was indeed quite attractive.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyun quietly got up, intending to give the two of them enough space.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Shen Ruojun quickly ran to open the door.
"Brother Yun!" As soon as Ruan Huai opened the door, he excitedly rushed to Shen Ruoyun, shouting loudly.
Shen Ruoyun almost stumbled and lost her balance, and quickly reached out to hold onto the wall behind her.
Lu Yan held two large bags full of New Year's goods in both hands, looking at his younger brother hanging on Shen Ruojun, but he didn't have a free hand to pull him off.
Qin Chuhuai and Chen Jiaxi were locked in a fierce eye-to-eye confrontation, each trying to kill the other with their gaze; sparks were practically flying from their eyes.
Suddenly, an even more annoying sound came through.
The two turned their heads and saw Ruan Huai, that broken thermos, tormenting Shen Ruojun again.
Shen Ruoyun seemed afraid that Ruan Huai would fall to his death, so she reached out and lightly supported his waist, her small face full of helplessness.
Qin Chuhuai and Chen Jiaxi exchanged a glance and immediately ceased hostilities, reaching a temporary reconciliation.
She strode menacingly toward that little bitch Ruan Huai, as if she were about to tear him to pieces.
Ruan Huai felt a chill run down his back, and then two forces suddenly attacked him.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been carried away by two men, who were holding him by the armpits.
"Behave yourself," Qin Chuhuai whispered a warning in Ruan Huai's ear.
Seeing Qin Chuhuai's little actions, Shen Ruoyun reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, then sat down on the sofa. Suddenly, she felt that these two were quite a good match.
Lu Yan carried the things and looked around the room. He thought that Shen Ruoyun's room might be missing a snack cabinet, so he could only put the things on the table for the time being.
When Qin Chuhuai saw Shen Ruoyun looking at him, he immediately fawned over her and picked up the things he had brought with him.
"Junjun, I brought some couplets. Shall we go and put them up together?"
Shen Ruojun's eyes lit up; there were even couplets! She readily agreed.
After her parents disappeared in her previous life, Shen Ruoyun spent the New Year alone, but she would still insist on putting up couplets every year.
However, since we came here this year, and it's not our own house, we didn't make any preparations.
Qin Chuhuai was as happy as a child who had received candy, and pulled Shen Ruojun toward the door.
Ruan Huai rolled her eyes at him, then sat on the sofa, angrily showing off her snacks.
Outside the door, Qin Chuhuai carefully unfolded the couplets and handed Shen Ruojun some paste.
Shen Ruoyun focused intently on applying the ointment, while Qin Chuhuai stared at him intently, occasionally pointing out areas where the ointment wasn't applied correctly.
After pasting the upper and lower couplets, Shen Ruoyun was about to raise her hand to paste the horizontal scroll when she realized she wasn't tall enough.
Qin Chuhuai chuckled and moved closer to Shen Ruoyun, putting one arm around his waist and easily lifting him up.
Shen Ruoyun was startled and even forgot what she was doing.
"Do you need any help?" Lin Yanshu's voice came from behind them, with a warm smile on his face.
Shen Ruoyun only reacted after hearing his voice.
He glanced back at Lin Yanshu, then raised his hand to stick the horizontal scroll on the door.
"Move a little bit to the left," Lin Yanshu whispered a reminder.
Following Lin Yanshu's instructions, Shen Ruojun had Qin Chuhuai move the scroll slightly to the left, and the horizontal scroll was finally pasted up neatly.
Qin Chuhuai slowly put Shen Ruojun down, turned to look at Lin Yanshu, and said nothing.
Lin Yanshu, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it, and praised with a smile, "It's pasted very well."
Shen Ruoyun grinned, raised her hand and patted Qin Chuhuai on the back of the head, signaling Qin Chuhuai to put her down.
Qin Chuhuai gently put Shen Ruojun down, but his eyes remained fixed on him.
Lin Yanshu stepped forward, bent down to change his shoes, and then carried his things into the room.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Yanshu asked, glancing at Shen Ruoyun.
Shen Ruoyun shook her head very honestly, "Not yet."
Lin Yanshu nodded and waved the things in his hand, "That's perfect, I brought some ingredients, I'll make you some dumplings."
"Let's make dumplings! I want to join in!"
Lu Yan was somewhat disapproving of Ruan Huai's participation in the event, saying, "Why are you joining in? Stay outside."
Ruan Huai retorted defiantly, "Why not? Brother Yun didn't say anything."
Shen Ruoyun found it amusing to watch the two of them bickering. "Alright, alright, let's all wrap them together."
Everyone went to the kitchen, and Lin Yanshu skillfully began to process the ingredients and roll out the dough.
Not to be outdone, Qin Chuhuai tried his best to learn how to make dumplings, but the shapes he made were crooked and uneven.
Chen Jiaxi learned to wrap bags from Shen Ruoyun, and she was able to wrap them to a decent degree.
Ruan Huai and Lu Yan were kitchen disasters; the things they made were simply appalling.
Despite this, it was still remarkably harmonious.
Before long, the water in the pot boiled, and Lin Yanshu carefully picked out the dumplings that had leaked filling.
Only then did they put all the dumplings of different shapes into the pot together.
After finishing making dumplings, Shen Ruoyun had nothing to do, so she washed her hands and went to the living room.
At this moment, Qin Chuhuai was seen pasting a horizontal scroll onto Chen Jiaxi's door.
His hands were covered in paste, but he didn't care much. After he finished pasting, he even looked back at Chen Jiaxi with great pride.
Shen Ruoyun found the flirting between the two quite amusing, but when she looked up...
Livestock thrive
Shen Ruoyun: "...", that's incredibly sarcastic.
When Chen Jiaxi saw the couplet, his face immediately darkened.
But when he saw Shen Ruoyun looking at him, he quickly put on a pitiful look.
He just stared at Shen Ruoyun like that, his silence speaking volumes, which made Shen Ruoyun feel guilty.
He raised his hand and patted Qin Chuhuai, who was still provoking Chen Jiaxi, and whispered, "Take this off."
"Why? I worked so hard to put it on, and it fits perfectly."
Shen Ruoyun glanced at Chen Jiaxi's dark face, while Ruan Huai laughed out loud without any attempt to hide his laughter.
"Listen to me." Qin Chuhuai listened to Shen Ruojun's words, and although he was unwilling, he still reached out to remove the horizontal scroll.
Seeing this, Chen Jiaxi revealed a hint of smugness on her face, straightened her posture, and raised an eyebrow at Qin Chu.
Just then, Lin Yanshu came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of dumplings.
Shen Ruoyun immediately ran into the kitchen and helped to get out the bowls and chopsticks and set them out.
Everyone sat together eating dumplings, and the dumplings tasted pretty good.
Qin Chuhuai looked around, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly put a dumpling into Shen Ruoyun's bowl. It was a heart-shaped dumpling that he had specially made.
Shen Ruoyun got up, grabbed a tissue, picked up her bowl again, and continued eating.
However, when he picked up the oddly shaped dumpling, he examined it carefully for two seconds and then, quite unkindly, burst out laughing.
"Who made this? It looks like that dad emoji."
Qin Chuhuai: "???"
[I have a bit of a headache, I might have to take a day off tomorrow. Happy New Year, everyone!]
