The Zhen and Gu households reunited for dinner at the Gu household’s home.
Mrs Zhen always loved Gu Jing as her own daughter. She put the last chicken leg into Gu Jing’s bowl. ‘Little girl, eat the chicken leg you love most.’
‘Thank you aunty Zhen,’ Gu Jing said.
Gu Jing and Zhen Lang secretly exchanged a look with each other. She clearly understood why, because she promised to reward him chicken legs for dinner. She picked up the last chicken leg with her chopsticks and she put it into Zhen Lang’s bowl. ‘For you to eat.’
Gu Jing lowered her head and she ate two spoonful of rice. But suddenly the room became silent, she lifted her head and she realised her parents and Zhen Lang’s parents looked shocked. Uncle Zhen held a braised rib between his chopsticks in mid-air like someone immobilized his vital acupuncture points.
Zhen Lang picked up the chicken leg his wife gave him and he bit a piece of chicken. His parents and his wife’s parents’ mouths were wide open and they looked back and forth between him and his wife.
Mrs Gu used a free finger to poke her husband’s arm. ‘Old man can you see? Little girl gave the chicken leg to someone else.’
Mr Gu’s eyes were full of anticipation. ‘I see. Little girl hasn’t given anyone a chicken leg before, it’s a strange phenomenon.’
Gu Jing’s parents and Zhen Lang’s parents’ suspicious stares made Gu Jing worry so she carelessly stole the chicken leg from Zhen Lang’s bowl and she bit a piece of chicken. ‘Before I didn’t see clearly, I’m eating the chicken leg now.’
‘Little girl, Zhen Lang bit into the chicken leg already,’ Mrs Zhen said.
Gu Jing panicked, she didn’t know if she should eat the chicken leg or not. She looked at the four pairs of suspicious eyes and her chopsticks flew into Zhen Lang’s bowl. ‘For you.’
‘Um,’ Zhen Lang said.
Zhen Lang calmly ate the chicken leg his wife put back into his bowl.
Mr Zhen recovered from shock the fastest. His son inherited calmness from him. He coughed softly. ‘How are you two getting along living together in the city?’
‘Good,’ Zhen Lang said.
Gu Jing silently buried her head into her bowl and ate.
‘I think you two are getting along good too,’ Mr Zhen said. He smiled brightly. ‘In the past little girl never gave anyone food before and you never ate food given by someone else. It’s only been a short few months since I saw you two, but you two changed a lot.’
Gu Jing choked on rice. She covered her mouth and coughed. She looked pleadingly at Zhen Lang. ‘We haven’t changed.’
Gu Jing spoke too fast and she carelessly bit her lips. She took a deep breath, her teeth released her lips and she endured the pain.
Gu Jing didn’t dare to lift her head from her bowl and look into the four pairs of suspicious eyes.
Zhen Lang continued to eat like nothing happened. ‘Since we were children weren’t we always close and caring toward each other?’
Mr and Mrs Zhen and Mr and Mrs Gu contemplated for a while then four heads nodded together.
Gu Jing covered her mouth and she licked her painful lips. She looked pitifully at Zhen Lang who sat opposite her. Zhen Lang’s eyes were calm and her parents smiled affectionately at Zhen Lang without glancing once in her direction.
Gu Jing silently ate her bowl of rice and on the inside she cursed the jinx because he ate dinner dishes with pain free lips. She fiercely ate the rice like they were the jinx’s calm eyes.
‘Did everyone check the updated family birth records?’ Zhen Lang asked.
Gu Jing put her bowl and chopsticks down on the dining table. ‘Zhen Lang! You…’
Gu Jing fumed because Zhen Lang promised her that he wouldn’t tell their parents but he broke his promise.
Mrs Gu glared at her rude daughter. ‘Little girl, what are you saying? You’re being rude.’
Gu Jing saw her parents and Zhen Lang’s parents shocked faces and she swallowed what she wanted to say. ‘I…’
Zhen Lang passed his empty bowl to his wife. ‘Are you eating another bowl of rice? Then can you scoop a bowl of rice for me too? Thank you.’
Mrs Gu smiled affectionately at Zhen Lang. ‘I don’t need to check the family records you updated. I trust you updated them responsibly like the same way you’re always responsible. It’s only updating addresses, what is there for me to check?’
Gu Jing felt her soul that flew away returned to her body. She looked at Zhen Lang’s empty bowl in front of her and she reluctantly scooped him another bowl of rice. But on the inside she cursed Zhen Lang for threatening her with their family birth records.
Gu Jing wanted to dump the bowl or rice on top of Zhen Lang’s head, but she endured her frustrations and she silently continued to eat her bowl or rice. On the inside she cursed Zhen Lang for making her panic as if she saw a gust of wind about to sweep her away.
‘Big sister, Mrs Zhang’s daughter gave me wedding invitations to give to you and big brother. The wedding is next week,’ Mrs Gu said with the look of envy in hers.
‘Little sister, last month Mrs Li’s daughter-in-law gave birth to Mr
