Lin Xiaoxiao shifted her hips; she harbored ill intentions towards Tang Xue, coveting the girl's daughter.
If Tang Xue's parents knew what she was thinking, would they just pick up a broom and kick her out?
Although Lin Xiaoxiao knew she was overthinking things, and that she and Tang Xue were still far from being together, she couldn't control her thoughts.
After cleaning Lin Xiaoxiao's wound, Tang Xue looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao and saw her furrowed brows. A hint of anxiety appeared in her eyes as well. "Did I hurt you?"
"Ah! No, it doesn't hurt." Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze, looked at Tang Xue who looked nervous and worried, and quickly reassured her, "It doesn't hurt."
"You lied to me again." Tang Xue's eyes reddened again; how could it not hurt?
"It really doesn't hurt." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Xue sincerely. "If it hurt, I would have cried out loud by now."
Tang Xue tilted her head, looking at her with suspicion. She had acted as if nothing was wrong when she was injured before, and she hadn't cried at the hospital. Tang Xue didn't believe that the wound really didn't hurt.
Lin Xiaoxiao was only saying this to comfort her. "I'm sorry," Tang Xue said, her voice muffled.
"Why are you apologizing again?" Lin Xiaoxiao said helplessly. Looking at Tang Xue's suspicious gaze, Lin Xiaoxiao touched her chin, thought for a moment, rubbed her eyes, sniffed, and after a moment of preparation, looked at Tang Xue with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I can't cry." She sighed with regret. "Maybe if this injury were a little worse, I would be able to cry. I can't cry now because this injury really doesn't hurt."
Tang Xue: "...Don't talk nonsense." What do you mean by saying that if the injury were any worse, he would be able to cry? What on earth is going on in this guy's head?
"Hehe." Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, "It really doesn't hurt as much as you think. That medicine is quite effective."
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, "I feel very comfortable after applying the medicine."
Tang Xue was taken aback, then quickly picked up the medicine placed beside her and carefully applied it to Lin Xiaoxiao's wounds. Afterward, she wrapped Lin Xiaoxiao's arm with gauze.
"Xiaoxue, what are your aunt and uncle's hobbies?" She held Tang Xue's hand. "Is there anything they don't like?"
Tang Xue looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with some surprise, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Lin Xiaoxiao let go of Tang Xue, touched her nose, and her gaze was somewhat unfocused. "I was just... asking casually. Didn't you say you would take me home after filming?"
I'll definitely bring a gift when I visit your house, so please ask about your parents' hobbies.
Tang Xue was stunned. She swallowed hard, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural. "They... don't have any particular hobbies. You can just go there when the time comes."
"How can that be? What if I don't behave well and my uncle and aunt dislike me?" Lin Xiaoxiao was really nervous. Even though they hadn't met, just thinking about it made her heart race.
"No, they won't." Tang Xue gently ruffled Lin Xiaoxiao's hair and said tenderly, "They will like you."
You're so nice, how could they possibly dislike you?

Chapter 105
===================
Seeing the two of them come down, Shenyang waved to them, "You two came down just in time. The food was just ready, and I was just about to go up and call you."
"You've worked hard." Lin Xiaoxiao walked to Shen Yang's side and patted his shoulder.
"What's so hard about it? I didn't do anything." Shenyang set out the bowls and chopsticks, then gestured toward the kitchen. "I hadn't even been in the kitchen for two minutes before my brother kicked me out."
When Shenyang said this, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
In his view, he had clearly gone to help, but Shen Wei ultimately kicked him out on the grounds that he had come to cause trouble.
Shenyang still felt a little wronged. Even if he wasn't good at scaling fish, he could still wash vegetables. In the end, he was still kicked out of the kitchen, which made him very angry.
“A place like the kitchen is not suitable for you at all.” Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. “You’re not very strong, so go outside and chop firewood more often, and your strength will gradually catch up.”
Shenyang: "..." He was speechless. Was he going to never get over the joke about his poor stamina?!
[Hahaha, Shenyang is so pitiful. This isn't the first time people have used his poor physical condition to make fun of him.]
I especially love seeing Shenyang's frustrated and powerless expression. There's nothing I can do about it; his stamina is just really bad.
[Shenyang was determined to exercise regularly before, so do you think he'll drag Shenwei running after dinner tonight?]
I think so. He even had the courage to drag Shen Wei running at noon; there's no reason it would just be a three-minute fad.
[Tonight's dinner looks quite substantial. To be honest, although I don't like Chen Mo as a person, her cooking skills seem pretty good.]
It looks really good, but I wonder how it tastes.
While the audience was still discussing the taste of the food, the guests also sat down at the table.
Because they had a pretty good harvest today, they prepared a more lavish dinner.
The crabs we traded with the production team were steamed, half of the chicken we traded for was used to make fish soup, some stir-fried vegetables, and steamed rice.
"President Lin, please try the fish soup I made." Chen Mo stood up and reached for the bowl in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Don't bother, I can do it." Tang Xue took Lin Xiaoxiao's bowl first, stood up, and ladled a bowl of fish soup for Lin Xiaoxiao. "Try it."
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up her spoon, took a sip, smiled at Chen Mo, and said nothing before lowering her head to eat a mouthful of rice.
To be honest, Shen Mo's cooking skills are not bad, but in Lin Xiaoxiao's opinion, Shen Mo's skills cannot be compared with Tang Xue's.
"Is the food not to Mr. Lin's liking?" Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk, she couldn't resist Chen Mo's mouth, and she had to ask.
"No," Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "It tastes good."
"Chen Mo's cooking skills are quite good," Chen Xingyu sincerely praised.
Everyone else quickly nodded in agreement, and even Tang Xue praised Chen Mo.
Putting aside Chen Mo herself, her cooking skills are indeed quite good.
Tang Xue picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the plate in front of her. She carefully removed all the bones from the fish and then put it into Lin Xiaoxiao's bowl next to her.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyebrows curved into a smile as she happily ate the fish that Tang Xue had put in her bowl.
She tilted her head to look at Tang Xue beside her, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a pair of chopsticks reaching towards her bowl.
Upon catching sight of the other person, Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment. Although her mind was still a little dazed, her body had already reacted.
The bowl in front of them was moved aside, and the fish on the chopsticks fell directly onto the table.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Shen Mo standing opposite her, leaning forward and stretching out her arm to look at her.
Blinking her eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses. She looked at the fish on the table and then at Chen Mo across from her. It would be strange if she still didn't understand the current situation.
"Thank you," Lin Xiaoxiao said. "Thank you for the fish you put on my plate, but I'm a bit of a germaphobe and I'm not used to it."
Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't expect Shen Mo to serve her food. Of course, she wasn't actually a germaphobe; she just didn't like Shen Mo.
If it had been someone else who served her food, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't have reacted the way she did.
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
Shen Mo frowned and glanced at Tang Xue next to Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao said that she had a cleanliness obsession and could not accept the food that she put on her plate, but Tang Xue had just put food on her plate as well!
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. "I'm sorry, but thank you anyway."
Lin Xiaoxiao tidied up the fish and meat on the table and threw it into the trash can next to her. "My right hand is not injured, I can eat by myself."
If Tang Xue were to take care of her instead, Lin Xiaoxiao would wish that she could temporarily lose the use of both her hands.
It would be even better if Tang Xue could feed me, but if it were someone else, then there would be no need at all.
Tang Xue lowered her head and ate a mouthful of rice, a pleasant smile flashing in her slightly narrowed eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao said she had a cleanliness obsession, but she didn't discover this habit during her interactions with Lin Xiaoxiao.
Either Lin Xiaoxiao was lying, or Lin Xiaoxiao's germaphobia wasn't directed at her, but either way, it made Tang Xue feel happy.
At least from this point of view, she could see her status in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart.
"But you ate all the food that Teacher Tang put on your plate just now." Shen Mo knew that asking this question would probably be humiliating, but she still couldn't swallow her anger.
She didn't think she was any worse than Tang Xue, but Lin Xiaoxiao's attitude towards the two of them was just too different.
This made Chen Mo, who had always been confident that she could win over Lin Xiaoxiao, feel particularly bad.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, and her gaze toward Chen Mo became extremely strange.
She looked at Chen Mo and said seriously, "My relationship with Xiao Xue is different. My germaphobia is not directed at Xiao Xue."
Once again, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that Shen Mo was really crazy. She had only known Shen Mo for a day or two, and she was already comparing herself to Tang Xue. Wasn't that a bit odd?
Shen Mo's face twisted slightly, but the next second, she smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Sorry, I was impulsive."
Seeing Shen Mo eating quietly, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, even though the other person was acting a bit strange.
But as long as the other party doesn't provoke her, Lin Xiaoxiao won't take the initiative to provoke Shen Mo.
[This Shen Mo is really shameless; she actually dares to compare herself to Teacher Tang.]
What should I do? I have a feeling that Chen Mo is up to something bad.
Actually, I feel the same way. I always feel like she's up to something. These kinds of petty people are the hardest to guard against.
After the interaction between Shen Mo and Lin Xiaoxiao, the rest of the meal was rather dull.
No one said another word at the dinner table, probably because they didn't want anything else to go wrong at this time.
After dinner, Lin Xin and Xiao Yu went into the kitchen to clean up. Chen Xingyu brewed a pot of tea and invited everyone to sit down and have some tea to aid digestion. Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao, as always, received a glass of plain water.
The group sat together and chatted about all sorts of things for a while when Chen Mo suddenly blurted out, "Let's play a game."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned to Chen Mo.
"It's a bit too early to rest now. Why don't we play some games to pass the time?"
Shen Mo has returned to the obedient demeanor she had when she first arrived at the show. If it weren't for the past few days, no one would know that she is a person with two faces.
"Okay, what do you want to play?"
Shenyang spoke first. He was already feeling quite bored, and although everyone was chatting, he could never keep up with the conversation.
