Chapter 361 Year-End (4)
Not sure what he was thinking, but a pair of small white hands were wrapped so thickly in bandages by him that they could hardly bend.After being bandaged, Qiao Mo moved a little and frowned, giving Fu Nancheng a somewhat disdainful look.
Clearly, the hospital did a decent job last time, so why did it turn into a bundle of rice dumplings now?
"Time to eat." Fu Nancheng calmly accepted her disdain, set up a low table on the bed, and laid out the dishes one by one.
Qiao Mo didn’t refuse, considering she hadn’t eaten properly since yesterday and was quite hungry.
But as soon as she picked up the chopsticks, before she could hold them steady, they slipped from her hand and scattered on the table.
She instinctively glanced at him; he showed no expression, silently picking up the chopsticks for her and placing them in her hand.
Qiao Mo picked up the chopsticks again; this time, she barely managed to hold them. But just as she picked up some rice, the chopsticks fell from her hand again, dropping a few grains of rice on the table.
Qiao Mo’s face blushed a little more, looking anxiously at the sumptuous meal on the table.
But with both hands wrapped up like bear claws, even after finally managing to grab some food, a slight shake of the hand caused it to fall back onto the table.
Unwilling to concede defeat, Qiao Mo kept grappling with the challenge.
Before long, the low table in front of her was covered with dropped food.
Fu Nancheng put down his bowl and chopsticks, gave her a mild glance, and asked, "Need help?"
Beneath his gaze, Qiao Mo’s face grew redder with embarrassment, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "No need."
Hearing this, he didn’t insist.
Truly not bothering her anymore, he picked up his chopsticks again.
Ten minutes passed, and Fu Nancheng’s bowl of rice was almost gone, with not much left of the dishes on the table.
From the start till now, Qiao Mo had only managed to eat two bites of rice. Seeing the dishes almost devoured by him, she grew flustered as her face turned bright red.
Before long, the tenacious Qiao Mo finally had a lightbulb moment. She spotted the rice spoon and immediately tossed the chopsticks aside, dragging the handle horizontally with her palm to scoop the rice.
After struggling for a while, she finally managed to eat a few mouthfuls of fragrant rice, nearly moved to tears. Silently cursing Fu Nancheng as a schemer, she thought he must have wrapped her hands like dumplings to prevent her from fighting for the food.
Using the spoon for rice wasn’t bad, but scooping vegetables proved even more difficult than using chopsticks.
Seeing that there was little left on each plate, a fine layer of sweat covered Qiao Mo’s nose as she focused intently on battling a single green bean.
Fu Nancheng’s gaze fell on her little face, his lips curving into a subtle smile, his eyes full of affection.
Soon, after struggling for a full few minutes with a green bean, Qiao Mo finally managed to scoop it up with the rice spoon, holding her arm steady to prevent it from falling.
Almost... so close now...
Just as victory was near, she failed to keep her hand steady, and with a slip, the last green bean fell into her rice bowl.
She let out a soft breath, thinking... well, at least it’s still in her territory and won’t be snatched by the hungry wolf.
But before she could relax completely, a pair of chopsticks suddenly reached into her bowl, effortlessly taking away the green bean.
Qiao Mo hadn’t even gotten a chance to glance at it one last time before it was devoured by a certain man’s stomach.
Looking at the empty plates on the table, Qiao Mo turned green, staring blankly at Fu Nancheng.
If you want to leave a way for yourself, it’s good to be generous today.
He was simply... too much!
Yet, Fu Nancheng seemed entirely oblivious to her murderous gaze, elegantly using a napkin to wipe his mouth, "I’m done eating; you take your time."
