Chapter 195 Guilt
Shen Ruoyun looked at the fresh-looking roasted eggplant in front of her, her expression somewhat solemn.
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Qin Chuhuai pushed the eggplant towards Shen Ruojun.
Looking at the eggplant in front of her, Shen Ruoyun didn't know how to coax herself to eat it. Holding her chopsticks, she glanced at Qin Chuhuai in front of her and gripped the chopsticks tightly.
Then, she tore off a tissue and wiped away the dark marks on Qin Chuhuai's face.
Upon seeing his action, Qin Chuhuai quickly leaned over and seemingly casually rubbed his face against his palm.
Shen Ruoyun lowered her eyes, swallowed hard, and shakily reached out with her chopsticks to pick up a piece of eggplant that was almost charred.
"You eat too, you've worked hard." As she spoke, she placed the tip of her chopsticks against Qin Chuhuai's lips.
Qin Chuhuai's eyes lit up instantly. Without thinking, he opened his mouth and ate the eggplant, looking extremely pleased, just like a dog that had been hit by a bone.
He was completely enveloped in pink bubbles, and if there weren't other people around, he would have burst out laughing on the spot.
Shen Ruoyun looked at him expectantly, trying to wake him up with food so that Qin Chuhuai would stop making things difficult for her.
"Do you think...it tastes good?" Shen Ruoyun asked cautiously.
Qin Chuhuai immediately swallowed the eggplant and nodded with unusual firmness without thinking.
"It's delicious, I want more." She said, leaning her head closer to him.
Shen Ruoyun: "..."
Shen Ruoyun gripped her chopsticks tightly, looked into the other person's sincere eyes, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Child, have you never eaten anything good before?"
Qin Chuhuai was momentarily stunned when he heard the other person call him "child," but he quickly came to his senses.
Aren't children just toddlers? And aren't toddlers just what people commonly call babies?
Junjun calls him baby.
Seeing him with his head down and a shy expression, Shen Ruoyun wondered if her words had hurt his pride.
Then he sighed and picked up another piece of eggplant with his chopsticks, putting it into Qin Chuhuai's mouth.
Qin Chuhuai ate with a blissful expression, and Shen Ruoyun, seeing his expression, finally realized that he genuinely enjoyed the eggplant.
Looking at the three eggplants that had already been shown off, Shen Ruoyun suspected that Qin Chuhuai might have some kind of pica.
"More." He scooped out an eggplant, then looked at Shen Ruojun, eagerly awaiting his food.
However, imagination is always perfect, while reality always deviates from expectations.
"Brother Yun, give me a bite!" Chen Jiale said as he passed by Shen Ruoyun, holding a roasted chicken wing and some dried tofu in his hands.
Qin Chuhuai: "???"
Shen Ruoyun was surprised that a half-cooked roasted eggplant would be so popular. She took out a new pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of eggplant, and put it into Chen Jiale's mouth.
After taking a bite of the eggplant, Chan Ka-lok's expression changed instantly, looking very miserable.
Turning to look at her older brother, she suddenly realized that blood ties can be diluted.
As if sensing something from a telepathic connection, Chen Jiaxi silently said something to Chen Jiale, and the other party immediately obeyed.
"What do you think? Do you still want it?" Shen Ruoyun had already begun to doubt herself when she was with Qin Chuhuai, and now she was eager to prove that she was normal.
Chen Jiale forced himself to swallow the eggplant in his mouth with great difficulty, his expression comparable to eating chocolate that tasted like poop.
"good to eat."
Shen Ruoyun: "!!!"
Shen Ruoyun looked at the two people in front of her in disbelief, then turned her gaze to the eggplant in front of her, stared at it for several seconds, and took another bite without believing it.
Qin Chuhuai: "Isn't it delicious?"
Shen Ruoyun looked at his face, which vaguely overlapped with the golden pig in his bag, and said, "Delicious."
Thus, Qin Chuhuai's culinary debut ended with unanimous praise.
Shen Ruoyun gently put down her chopsticks and began to find a way out for herself, "I need to save some room for the grilled fish."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuhuai stopped eating. "I'll save some room for the fish belly."
Chen Jiale also put down his chopsticks with a sigh of relief.
However, the group ultimately did not get to eat the grilled fish, which is a sad story.
"Ugh..." Shen Ruoyun leaned against the toilet and began to dry heave. She felt completely exhausted, and her stomach was empty.
A group of people surrounded him, their faces full of heartache.
Lin Yanshu held a glass of warm water in his hand and reached out to pat him on the back.
"Brother, we're out of toilet paper. Can you get me some?" Chen Jiale's voice came from another bathroom, and he was clearly not in a good mood either.
Chen Jiaxi quickly turned around and found some paper for Chen Jiale.
Qin Chuhuai held the medicine in his hand, his face full of self-reproach.
Yes, Shen Ruoyun and Chen Jiale started vomiting and having diarrhea after eating Qin Chuhuai's special dish.
But that's not the strangest thing. What's terrifying is that Qin Chuhuai, who ate the most, acted as if nothing had happened, which is simply inexplicable by science.
After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor and going through several hours of treatment, Shen Ruoyun finally began to recover.
Several people stood guard by the bedside, watching the sleeping Shen Ruoyun, and fell silent.
Lin Yanshu glanced at Qin Chuhuai, but showed no intention of blaming him. "You two go and rest first. I'll take care of things tonight."
"Brother Yanshu, why don't I take over the guard duty? You must be tired after a long day," Ruan Huai quickly stepped forward and said.
"Ruan Huai, go to sleep now." Lu Yan lifted Ruan Huai aside with one hand.
“I’ll do it. I have nothing to do tomorrow, and I also need to take care of Jiale.” Chen Jiaxi took two steps forward and pointed out the advantage of staying behind.
"Qin Chuhuai..." Shen Ruoyun's mouth moved, her eyes slightly opened, and she called out Qin Chuhuai's name.
Seeing this scene, everyone turned to look at Qin Chuhuai, their eyes filled with resentment.
Everyone's inner monologue: No, why?
Upon hearing Shen Ruoyun's call, Qin Chuhuai rushed to the bedside and tightly grasped Shen Ruoyun's hand.
"Don't worry, Junjun, I won't leave tonight."
Something's off about this dialogue...
Shen Ruoyun opened her eyes slightly, smiled at Qin Chuhuai, and said, "My golden pig is still in the yard."
Everyone: "..."
In the end, everyone stayed, not for any other reason than that they wouldn't be able to sleep if they went back, so they felt more at ease staying with someone.
Fortunately, Shen Ruoyun's physical condition was still quite good, and she recovered the next day.
"Eat something first, then I'll take you home." Lin Yanshu cooked some stomach-soothing porridge for Shen Ruoyun and placed a bowl in front of him.
Chen Jiale had already slipped away early, not for any other reason than that seeing Qin Chuhuai's face would remind him of the terrifying memory from last night.
Shen Ruoyun drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and felt much better.
Qin Chuhuai watched him nervously from the side, occasionally handing him a tissue.
"Junjun, I'm sorry." Qin Chuhuai lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Shen Ruoyun didn't seem to care much and waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal as long as he's not dead."
