Chapter 652: Chapter 652 Cheng Xining 3 Chapter 652: Chapter 652 Cheng Xining 3 “Nan Ge…” Cheng Xining wanted to act spoiled, but a glare from He Nan imdiately made her behave, “If they’re dumplings I made myself, I’ll just eat them myself. I don’t even long for dumplings made by others. Even my parents haven’t had the ones I’ve made, let alone anyone else.”
Her words were clearly ant for Shen Mianmian, who once again felt like an innocent bystander getting shot.
Shen Mianmian pretended not to understand her implication and carried the dumplings into the kitchen. It was already eleven in the morning. He Nan had tidied up the dining table and then went to the kitchen to cook. Shen Mianmian had planned to go help, but Cheng Xining called her out.
“A kitchen that size can’t fit so many people. Go play outside, I’ll help Nan Ge.”
It was not easy to get the chance to be close to He Nan, even if she found the kitchen fus intense and had always disliked going into the kitchen, at this mont, she found it exceptionally wonderful.
Shen Mianmian: “…”
Cheng Xining had just arrived from Beijing, and she must have had a lot to say to He Nan. It would be wise of Mianmian to give them so space.
So Shen Mianmian sat in the living room and rightfully began watching TV.
In the kitchen, He Nan didn’t refuse Cheng Xining’s offer to help and directly put her to work washing vegetables by the sink. Cheng Xining grimaced in distaste but didn’t refuse the task.
Having the opportunity to interact with Nan Ge was hard to co by, so what’s washing a few vegetables?
The water was icy cold in the winter, and Cheng Xining’s fingers turned bright red from the freeze. She deliberately acted spoiled, “Nan Ge, the water is so cold! My hands are freezing to death.”
“If you don’t want to wash them, go outside.” He Nan’s voice was extrely cold.
Cheng Xining pouted, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t wash them.”
Both fell silent for a while before Cheng Xining intentionally brought up the train experience, trying to gain He Nan’s sympathy.
“Nan Ge, I heard before that the trains are crowded and people can hardly stand steady. Only after taking the train did I realize, it’s all lies, there weren’t that many people. But riding a train is really tough, the hygiene is so bad, there are all sorts of strong slls, the floor is covered in trash, and so people even eat there. I don’t know how they manage to eat in such a place, and the restroom, it’s just too filthy…”
It was the first ti Cheng Xining had taken a train for a long journey, and if it weren’t for her determination to visit He Nan, she would have felt like getting off the mont she boarded.
What she didn’t know was that the train was less crowded because it was the New Year, and what she considered dirty and ssy was actually at its cleanest for the year.
The trains in that era indeed had sanitation issues, and people didn’t yet have the awareness not to litter. For soone like Cheng Xining, with her pampered upbringing, the environnt was indeed a bit lacking.
But what she was unaware of was that so people, to save a bit of fare, would walk tens of kiloters.
He Nan clearly lacked the patience to listen to her complaints and said with a deep voice, “Get out once you are done.”
Cheng Xining: “Where am I done? I haven’t finished yet; this radish isn’t even washed.”
She wouldn’t dream of leaving while being so close to Nan Ge.
Their voices were not deliberately suppressed, so Shen Mianmian heard their conversation crystal clear. She couldn’t help but feel perplexed; He Nan’s behavior was really strange.
It seed like he was very indulgent towards Cheng Xining, yet also seed to not really want to engage her. Could it be that He Nan was the legendary late-stage straight male?
Nevertheless, one had to admit that Cheng Xining was indeed very beautiful, and judging by appearances alone, she was quite a match for He Nan.
