Chapter 114 Deliberate Matchmaking(1/2)
Li Xiang smiled and cooperated with Zhang Ling to check whether his hand was injured?
Because this is very happy for him.
The happiness of being cared about by the person you like must be enjoyed as long as possible.
Cooperation is just to make this hard-won happiness last longer.
Apart from grandma, this was another person of the opposite sex who really cared about her.
When she discovered that Li Xiang's hands didn't have a single scratch on them.
Then she breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed her tense nerves.
Yan Yuan was immediately full of curiosity and wanted to ask Li Xiang how he fried eggs with heart.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yuan just called him a name and was surprised to see Zhang Ling raise her hand and slap him on the shoulder, and asked with an unhappy look:
"Hey, Li Xiang, you weren't hurt, but you deliberately hid your hands under the table to do some tricks. Was it fun to lie to me?"
"I'm...unjustly accused! I never said that my hand was injured." Li Xiang defended aggrievedly, and suddenly pointed a finger at Yan Yuan, "She, it's her, she deliberately misled you."
"Yan Yuan!" Zhang Ling felt justified and looked at Yan Yuan again.
"No... Zhang Ling, no..."
Yan Yuan didn't know how to explain it for a while.
He looked at Li Xiang with wide eyes, thinking that he was obviously helping him, but he didn't expect that he didn't take the responsibility.
Li Xiangcha felt great hostility and glanced at Yan Yuan intentionally, then smiled at Zhang Ling and said:
"Don't blame her! We should thank her. With her misleading, I realized that you care about me so much."
"Yes, I care!" Zhang Ling didn't expect Li Xiang to speak like this suddenly. Her cheeks were as hot as if they were being burned by a stove, "Who cares about you? Please stop talking nonsense. Let's eat first."
Li Xiang saw Zhang Ling almost running away and returned to his seat to sit down.
A few seconds after she sat down, her twinkling eyes saw that he was still looking at her affectionately.
She felt she was a little too close to the heater.
So he insisted on moving the chair as far away from Li Xiang as possible.
Then, she buried her head almost deep into the plate of fried eggs.
The smell of her favorite fried eggs, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, penetrated her nose.
Especially tomatoes and chopped green onions are specially added to the eggs.
The smell suddenly made her think that her father had fried the eggs.
Suddenly, he looked up and looked around for traces of his father.
Li Xiang was a little puzzled and asked:
"Zhang Ling, what are you looking for?"
"Yes! Just tell us and we will help you find it," Yan Yuan said.
"Dad, my dad is back!" As she spoke, she stood up, "Where is he? He didn't even say a word to me when he came back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she started to search in various rooms with excitement.
"Uncle is back? I didn't see him!" Li Xiang recalled with some confusion, and followed her closely. When he was sure that Zhang Ling's father had not come back, he eagerly dissuaded her, "Zhang Ling, wait a moment. Why are you doing this?
Said uncle is back?"
Yan Yuan, who was greedy, was busy eating the delicacies Li wanted to cook. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth out of curiosity, looked at Zhang Ling who had just checked his father's bedroom and asked:
"Yes, I haven't seen my uncle come back either. Zhang Ling, have you seen it?"
"No, fried eggs are my father's taste! No one except my father knows that my favorite is fried eggs with tomatoes and chopped green onions."
Li Xiang chuckled when he heard Zhang Ling's answer.
Zhang Ling stopped and looked at him angrily:
"why are you laughing?"
"Don't look for it. I fried the eggs. My uncle hasn't come back." Li Xiang said with a bit of pride.
He was even more triumphantly waiting for Zhang Ling to say a few words of praise.
"Did you fry the eggs?"
Li wanted to fry her favorite fried eggs, but she was not happy about it.
What suddenly occurred to her?
His face became much gloomier, with a bit of disbelief, and he stared at Li Xiang for a long time.
Li Xiang didn't wait for Zhang Ling's words of praise.
Instead, her eyes made my hair stand on end.
He finally couldn't help but ask:
"Zhang Ling, why are you looking at me like that?"
She opened and closed her lips twice, but no sound came out for the time being. Panting heavily, she suddenly turned around and walked towards the dining table, and sat down at her previous seat.
Her facial expression looked like she had a deep hatred for the fried egg in front of her.
Yan Yuan felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, looked at Zhang Ling first, then looked at Li Xiang with an incriminating look, and asked softly with a wink:
"Why did you offend her? Her face looks so scary."
Li Xiang spread his hands with an innocent face and explained softly:
"I don't know either! I asked her and she didn't answer, so there's nothing I can do about it."
Yan Yuan was a little helpless and decided to bite the bullet and ask Zhang Ling what happened.
Zhang Ling was very aware of the two people's little moves. She suddenly raised her head and glanced at Yan Yuan, which scared Yan Yuan so much that he swallowed his words before he spoke.
She looked at the innocent-looking Li with sharp eyes and wanted to say:
"Okay, Li Xiang! Tell me honestly what means you used to bribe my dad to tell you my preferences."
She felt like she had been betrayed.
And he was betrayed by his most trusted father.
Her father was not at home, and as a daughter, she could not raise an eyebrow to accuse him.
So she could only point the finger at Li Xiang, trying to find some psychological balance from him.
"Ah? It's unfair! Why did you accuse me so wrongly? I really didn't!" He said even more aggrievedly.
Li Xiang didn't know why she spoke like this.
But he is not a character who is easily wronged.
Zhang Ling emotionally slapped the table and stood up, pointing at the fried eggs on the plate in front of her and questioning:
"Tell me, when did you secretly learn this plate of fried eggs from my father? I don't even know! Li Xiang, Li Xiang, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Have you clearly planned everything about me?
Clearly?"
Li Xiang was so confused that he had not yet opened his mouth to explain. Yan Yuan jumped out at this moment, and with a look of disbelief on his face, he took a few steps towards him and said:
"Okay, Li Xiang! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Tell me! What's your plot behind approaching our Zhang Ling?"
It turned out that he had a conspiracy based on the similar taste of fried eggs.
He thought this alone was a bit funny.
So I thought to myself that I had done nothing wrong.
So there is absolutely no need to be afraid of anything.
He allowed himself to show a natural smile and said:
"Zhang Ling, don't you think you are going a little too far? It's a bit ridiculous to convict me just based on the taste of the food."
After hearing this, Yan Yuan was the first to lose her stance and looked at Zhang Ling and said:
"Zhang Ling..."
As soon as she called him a name, Zhang Ling gave Yan Yuan a look that stopped her from continuing.
Li Xiang saw that Zhang Ling's eyes were no longer determined at first.
He struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"And the method of making fried eggs seems not to be original to my uncle. As far as I know, many people in XX (name of place) eat this way. Can you say that your uncle sold you to these people?"
Zhang Ling's face turned pale as she listened to Li Xiang's questioning.
She knew that she had drawn too hasty a conclusion based solely on one way of eating food.
However, she would not easily listen to his glib excuses.
"Okay. To prove that you are right, how about you fry two more fried eggs in front of me now?"
Li Xiang raised his wrist, glanced at the time, smiled and gestured to the food on the table and said:
"Can you finish all this food? Leftovers are not good, and eating leftovers is even worse for your health."
In Zhang Ling's opinion, Li Xiang was making excuses with a guilty conscience.
She seemed to have caught him and said:
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you going to do it or not?"
This kind of proof that Li Xiang wanted to directly defend was completely unnecessary.
Because apart from the three of them, Zhang Ling would never be able to find a fourth person in the family.
And he is the only one who prepares breakfast.
