"There aren't many dishes here," Luo Heng's mother said. "It's better to sit next to your cousin than next to your aunt."
The slightly better dishes were all at Luo Tang's place. The dishes at the aunties' place were also okay, but the plates were sparsely arranged and there were only a few dishes. Luo Heng's mother reminded Luo Bi that she wouldn't get any good food if she was next to her.
"It's alright." Luo Bi sat down.
Auntie's smile became much more genuine, and then she became even happier. Why? Luo Yan, Luo Zhuo, and Ji Yao got up and brought over some good dishes, especially the plate of spicy stir-fried river clams, which they also brought to Luo Bi.
Luo Yan immediately said, "I want to eat spicy stir-fried river clams."
Ji Yao turned his head and said with a smile, "I bought this for Sister Luo Bi. I didn't buy much, so she didn't get to eat much. I bought too little today, but I'll buy more next time so you can try some."
Luo Yan looked bewildered, seemingly not expecting that it wasn't meant for her to eat.
Ji Yao really didn't want to be so blunt, but Luo Yan was oblivious. Ji Yao and Wang Yan didn't want to waste their interstellar coins; they were making these arrangements to build a good relationship with Luo Bi!
It's obvious that Luo Bi and Luo Yan don't get along. Luo Yan ate the river clams, and Ji Yao, with his keen intuition, felt that it wasn't going to work out. He didn't want to see the consequences. Perhaps Luo Bi's lack of competitiveness was a way of observing his behavior.
Ji Yao's words were tactful, saving face for Luo Yan.
After all, Luo Yan was a noble and talented master, and Ji Yao did not want to upset her.
Luo Tang and Luo Zhuo were both shrewd people, so they naturally understood Ji Yao's meaning. Ji Yao and Wang Yan were buying rare river delicacies specifically to build a good relationship with Luo Bi, and they had no other intentions.
At the dinner table, anyone with a brain would understand that pretending to be confused and letting it go was enough to save face for Luo Yan.
Ji Yao spoke tactfully; let's all play dumb.
Luo Heng's mother held back for a moment, then pointed to the dishes on the table and said to Luo Yan, "So many dishes, isn't that enough for you? I'm not picky about food, but Luo Yan, you're too picky."
Why did she bring this up? She came with Luo Yan, and she's an elder; if Luo Yan embarrasses herself, she embarrasses herself too.
Luo Yan was unconvinced, but didn't argue. Luo Heng's mother was not someone to be trifled with; if you angered her, she would really tear off your mask and curse you. Luo Yan also had people she was afraid of, and she was intimidated by this aunt.
Luo Bi, seeing this, was in a good mood and called out to the aunties, "Aunties, try the spicy stir-fried river clams."
"You can eat it yourself." The aunties refused to eat.
The aunts on Luo Feifan's branch like to put on airs and are shameless, but the aunts on Chizhuxing are not like that. Luo Ping observes how others act, while Luo Heng's mother is a rare straightforward person among the direct lineage, and she is also very perceptive, so naturally she would not shamelessly steal ingredients.
"Try them all." Luo Bi was very honest. As long as you didn't try anything funny with her, everything was fine. She sincerely invited the aunties to try one river clam each, and I'll eat the rest myself.
That's really honest, not just being polite.
The aunties then put their chopsticks on the spicy stir-fried river clams, and Wei Tong also started eating. Luo Yan, sitting next to Luo Tang, couldn't reach them because of the distance; she couldn't even eat a single river clam.
See? They left the seats next to the aunties for Luo Bi, and Luo Bi is playing with everyone.
Originally, if no one had any ulterior motives, Luo Bi preferred to stay with her aunts. Being with the Thunderflame Warriors was nothing compared to the liveliness of being with her aunts. Luo Yan, that big fool.
"Don't even mention it," Luo Heng's mother said, "this spicy stir-fried river clams is just delicious."
This wasn't meant for Luo Yan's ears; Luo Heng's mother just thought river clams were delicious, something they rarely got to eat. (End of Chapter)
