However, Dong Yiwu remembered that Jiujiu was still watching from the side. His furrowed brows instantly relaxed. He picked up the chopper and started chopping.
The ribs were chopped into small pieces by Dong Yiwu.
As Dong Yiwu chopped the ribs, he turned his head to look at Jiujiu and said, "My mom's soup is delicious. You should drink more later."
Jiujiu nodded obediently.
Looking at Jiujiu's obedient appearance, Dong Yiwu only felt that the flowers in his heart had bloomed a lot more.
Meanwhile, Professor Li kept clicking his tongue in his heart.
If someone had told her a few days ago that her son, who avoided women like the plague, would treat women well, she would definitely have thought that the person was talking nonsense. However, now that she saw it with her own eyes, she instantly felt that it was not that Dong Yiwu did not know how to treat people well.
It was that he had not met the person he wanted to treat well.
Now that he had met her, even a straight man could become gentle.
Tsk tsk. Previously, he had a straight face when he saw women, but now, he was smiling like a morning glory when he saw Jiujiu. He, who usually did not enter the kitchen, stood at the kitchen door today and could not move his legs.
In the end, Professor Li felt that Dong Yiwu was taking up space and was affecting her performance, so he kicked Dong Yiwu out.
However, even after he was kicked out, Dong Yiwu still stood at the kitchen door with a reluctant look on his face. If Professor Li had not closed the door, Dong Yiwu would probably have stood there until dinner was ready.
When Dong Yiwu was kicked out, he still had a sad look on his face. It was not easy for him to talk to Jiujiu for a while. Why was his mother so insensible?
After Professor Li kicked Dong Yiwu out, he followed Jiujiu to chop vegetables and told Jiujiu some interesting things about the school.
When Jiujiu came, she happened to have a question to ask Professor Li, so she asked the question in her heart.
When Professor Li heard it, he was instantly interested. The two of them asked questions and talked, and more than two hours passed just like that.
Two hours later, both the dishes and the pork rib soup were ready.
Professor Li yelled at Professor Dong and Dong Yiwu to serve the dishes. At the same time, he asked Jiujiu to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.
After Jiujiu washed her hands, she sat down at the dining table and ate with Professor Dong's family.
Professor Dong and Professor Li sat together. Dong Yiwu naturally sat beside Jiujiu.
Dong Yiwu was a man. Although he looked thin and weak, his appetite was not small.
And Jiujiu was a little girl, so her appetite was really small.
When Dong Yiwu had a meal with Jiujiu for the first time, he was stunned when he saw Jiujiu's small bowl of rice. How could she be full with that?
Therefore, Dong Yiwu paid special attention to Jiujiu during the meal. He planned to give Jiujiu more rice after Jiujiu finished eating.
However, Jiujiu's appetite was really small. As soon as she finished a small bowl of rice, she said that she was full.
Whether it was in school or other things, Dong Yiwu had always been in contact with men. This was the first time he saw a girl eat so little. He was instantly stunned.
Could such a small amount of rice provide the nutrients that the body needed?
Was Jiujiu not eating because she was embarrassed?
Dong Yiwu was afraid that he would directly say that Jiujiu was embarrassed. He deliberated over his words and said to Jiujiu, "Do you want to drink some more soup?"
Even if she couldn't eat, she could at least drink it.
Jiujiu's appetite was not very big this time. Originally, she could not eat anymore. However, after hearing Dong Yiwu's words, she was a little embarrassed and forced herself to drink a bowl of soup.
After drinking a bowl of soup, Jiujiu was completely stuffed. Even though she tried her best to suck in her stomach, Dong Yiwu could still see that Jiujiu's belly had become round because of eating.
If other people had a small belly, Dong Yiwu would think that they did not know what healthy eating was. However, Dong Yiwu found Jiujiu's small belly cute no matter how he looked at it.
Dong Yiwu thought in his heart that this was probably the so-called "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
Professor Dong and Professor Li watched Dong Yiwu and Jiujiu intently while eating. When they saw Dong Yiwu looking at the girl and smiling foolishly, the two of them were instantly amused.
Even if Dong Yiwu and Jiujiu did not end up together, at least their son was enlightened.
It was always a good thing that he was enlightened.
Professor Dong and Professor Li wanted Jiujiu and Dong Yiwu to be alone. They said that the professional books that Jiujiu needed were in the study room and asked Dong Yiwu to bring Jiujiu to the study room to look for the books.
Dong Yiwu originally wanted to be alone with Jiujiu. Now that he was sleepy, he was given a pillow. After Dong Yiwu sent Professor Dong and Professor Li a grateful smile, he brought Jiujiu to the study room.
Professor Dong and Professor Li were right. There were a lot of professional books that Jiujiu needed in the study room.
Jiujiu quickly found a lot of professional books that she needed. She placed them on the table one by one. When she was almost done, she remembered that she came with Dong Yiwu.
As soon as Jiujiu turned around, she saw Dong Yiwu standing behind her like a log.
When he saw Jiujiu turn around, Dong Yiwu instantly flashed a bright smile at Jiujiu.
Dong Yiwu revealed eight teeth and the small canine tooth in his mouth. It made his originally gentle face look a little livelier.
Jiujiu smiled and asked, "Thank you for coming with me to look for the books."
"No, I wanted to stay with you."
In fact, Dong Yiwu knew that he could politely say that it was necessary.
However, Dong Yiwu felt that he was already at this age. Xiao Wang's child was about to go to primary school. He just happened to meet a girl that moved his heart. If he took his time, who knew when he would be able to marry the girl?
Moreover, there were so many people pursuing Jiujiu. If he took his time, she might be snatched away in advance.
Now that he had set his sights on Jiujiu, he naturally had to bring Jiujiu home as soon as possible to feel at ease.
Dong Yiwu's words were simple and straightforward. He was just short of telling Jiujiu that he liked her.
Clearly, she had been in countless relationships with Dong Yiwu. However, when she was told his feelings again, Jiujiu's heart still raced as if she had been confessed to for the first time. Her cheeks were bright red like an apple on a tree branch. She was extremely shy.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Without waiting for Jiujiu's reply, Dong Yiwu did not give up and asked again, "What about you? What do you think of me?"
"I think you're pretty good."
"Then have you ever considered letting me be your boyfriend?"
Jiujiu was speechless.
Without getting Jiujiu's reply, Dong Yiwu continued, "If it's okay, nod your head. If it's not okay, tell me what kind of boy you like. I'll try my best to do what you like. Is that okay?"
Jiujiu raised her head and looked at Dong Yiwu.
Dong Yiwu's gaze was fixed on her. His eyes were inextricably linked and filled with indescribable emotions.
Jiujiu's heart was filled with tenderness. She tiptoed and gently kissed Dong Yiwu's cheek. "Okay."
