C526 He Was Catching up on Old Times
Before the two of them could have a good chat, the door behind Xue Xue'er opened. This voice. It really frightened the two of them.1
They saw Fifth Xue standing behind the open door. His face was dark and gloomy, and he kept staring at Ouyang Qing'an without saying anything. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he was in a bad mood.
As for why he was in a bad mood, Ouyang Qing'an knew it in his heart.
According to the rules, he called Fifth Xue honestly, "Hello, Uncle."
"Hmph.."
Fifth Xue snorted coldly, as a reply. His gaze then fell on the pig trotters that Ouyang Qing'an was hugging Xue'er. If eyes could eat people, then his hands would have been gone a long time ago.
Under his gaze, Ouyang Qing'an silently withdrew his hands and pretended to touch his nose.
"Fifth Uncle!" But Cher did not notice the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. When she saw Fifth Xue, she hurriedly threw away the things in her hands and ran over to hug Fifth Xue.
Xue Xiaowan also ran out and happily pulled Xue'er around in circles. When she saw Ouyang Qing'an standing outside the door, she quickly understood. She pulled her by the ear and said, "Okay, you came back with someone. See if Dad won't say anything about you."
There was no one in the Xue family who didn't know about this. Even Xue Xiaowan knew about the relationship between the two of them.
Xue Xue'er quickly pushed Xue Xiaowan and hinted for her to shut up. Fifth Xue was still standing at the door as a gatekeeper. Now that she said this, wouldn't it make him even angrier?
Fifth Xue's expression was gloomy. The emotions in his eyes changed again and again. In the end, he thought, Forget it. After all, he was a young kid. As an adult, why should he fuss about anything with him? Only then did he make way and let him in.
He bent down and picked up the vegetables Xue Xue'er had bought and brought them into the house.
The food in the house had been prepared long ago. It was still steaming hot, but no one had moved it. He knew that Xue'er was coming as soon as he got off work in the morning, so he quickly went to buy vegetables and cook.
Xue Xiaowan came back and waited with Fifth Xue without any complaints. Xue Xiaowan's heart ached for her younger sister.
Now that Ouyang Qing'an was added, she needed to add another pair of chopsticks. Xue Xue'er tactfully took one for him and placed it on the table. However, she chose to sit beside Fifth Xue to prevent him from getting angry again later.
Xue Xiaowan and Xue Xue'er sat on either side of Fifth Xue, while Ouyang Qing'an could only sit further away. The four of them ate together, but it was exceptionally quiet and dull.
Ouyang Qing'an himself was not particularly hungry, he just wanted to see Xue'er. Out of courtesy, he ate a few mouthfuls of food. After eating a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks. This action, in Fifth Xue's eyes, meant something else.
"Sorry, the food in our house is just like this. If you are not used to it, you can eat outside."
When he opened his mouth, it was filled with the smell of gunpowder. It was obvious that Fifth Xue did not want to receive him. Xue Xue'er's eyebrows jumped. She quickly picked up a dish for Fifth Xue and put it in his bowl to divert his attention.
"Fifth Uncle, your culinary skills have improved recently. Third Sister usually eats a lot, but now she seems to have gained a lot of weight."
"That's right. My culinary skills are getting better and better. I'm almost as good as your uncle."
When mentioning his own culinary skills, Fifth Xue was beaming with joy.
