Yue Chi’s lips curled into a smile that he did not even realize.
Yue Han looked at Yue Chi’s stubborn back and shook his head helplessly. Then, he turned to look at Gong Han and said apologetically, “My brother has such a temper. Don’t take it to heart. I’ll find an opportunity to educate him again.”
Gong Han shook her head gently and said, “It’s fine. I think he has quite a personality.”
When Yue Chi, who was walking in front, heard Gong Han praise him, he was a
little unaccustomed to it. In the end, his body tilted and he almost staggered and fell.
Yue Chi immediately maintained his balance and rushed into his bedroom as if nothing had happened.
When he finished washing up and arrived at the cafeteria, he saw Gong Han talking to him while setting up the dishes. “I heard from the auntie at home that you like coconut custard, so I made some for you. Come and try it?”
Yue Chi’s gaze landed on the coconut custard in Gong Han’s hand. He had mixed feelings. Then, he said stubbornly, “I don’t like these sweet things.”
Yue Han s.n.a.t.c.hed the coconut custard from Gong Han’s hand and took a big bite. He said calmly, “Since someone doesn’t like it, I’ll eat it.”
As Yue Han ate, he sized up Yue Chi with his eyes, making Yue Chi angry. Yue
Chi took two heavy steps and sat beside the dining table, sulking.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he was in a bad mood. Just as Yue Chi was looking at the table angrily, a white and tender coconut custard appeared in front of him again.
Yue Chi looked up and saw Gong Han smiling as she said, “I made a lot. Try it and see if it’s delicious. Just a little is enough. It’s going to be dinner soon. If you eat too many desserts, you won’t be able to eat dinner later.”
This time, Yue Chi was not as unyielding as before. He only lowered his head and looked at the coconut custard in front of him without saying anything.
Then, he looked up slightly and saw his brother and Gong Han interacting in the kitchen. He felt a little emotional.
He had once imagined a happy family. His parents were happily preparing dinner in the kitchen. His brother was frowning and doing his homework. He was messing around at the side and was beaten up. When he cried, his mother would gently comfort him.
But now, such a warm scene came from his brother and sister-in-law. Yue Chi laughed bitterly and picked up a spoon to taste Gong Han’s cooking.
The moment the coconut custard entered his mouth, Yue Chi’s expression froze slightly. This taste was very similar to the taste in his memory.
He liked to eat coconut custard, not because it was delicious, but because on the day his mother left, the last thing that was handed to him was the coconut custard she made herself.
He thought that one day, his mother would come back and take the unfinished coconut custard from his hand and say angrily, “Why are you wasting food again?
Then Mom would eat the rest of the coconut custard as usual and feign anger to educate him not to waste food.
Yue Chi looked at Gong Han in confusion. Then, he slowly ate the entire portion of coconut custard.
When Yue Han came out with the dishes, he was a little surprised to see that Yue Chi, who had always only eaten half of the coconut custard, had actually eaten the entire serving today. “Is it so delicious? You actually finished it all?”
Gong Han walked out and asked in confusion, “Of course we have to finish everything we eat. Are we going to waste it?”
Yue Han smiled and said, “You don’t know, but Ah Chi has only eaten half of the coconut custard since he was young. This habit can’t be changed no matter what. That’s why I’m surprised.”
When Gong Han heard this, she looked at Yue Chi in surprise and smiled. “Ah Chi, if you want to eat any desserts in the future, you can tell me. I often make desserts for my brother. I’ll make some for you too.”
Yue Chi rejected her flatly. “No need. I don’t like desserts.”
Yue Han explained, “He only likes this. He doesn’t eat other desserts.” Gong Han nodded in understanding.
During this period of time, other than coming back because of Yue Chi’s matters, Yue Xi would usually stay in the company and basically not go home.
Therefore, only Gong Han and the Yue brothers were left for dinner.
Yue Chi was very silent throughout dinner, just like how the three fathers and sons of the Yue Family used to eat.
But with Gong Han’s partic.i.p.ation today, the atmosphere seemed to be much warmer.
Gong Han did not say much, but when she spoke, it was gentle. It was very comfortable to hear..
