Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

The dishes came one by one. After so many years of interaction, Aunt Re knew quite a lot about Ms. Lin and me.

"Do you like spicy food?" Chen Jingxing asked me softly while looking at the dishes coming up.

“Yeah.” I answered absentmindedly, my mind was focused on the dishes that were served, I couldn’t take my eyes off them, they were all my favorites! There was no cilantro yet! The minimum cost of a meal was 2,000 yuan! What’s not good to eat? What about blind dates? They’re all just empty talk! I can’t let this table down! That Maoxuewang must be worth at least three figures, I see there’s abalone in it!

"What a coincidence, I also like spicy food..." Chen Jingxing said with a smile.

"There are so many people who like spicy food, what's so coincidental about it?" I just waited for Aunt Re's order and prepared to eat.

"There's a 'Chuanqiyou' old hotpot restaurant that tastes really good. Would you like to go there together if there's a chance?"

“I am an old customer of theirs.”

"Then we really are destined to meet each other~" I have to say, Chen Jingxing is quite good-looking, but I really don't like his way of chatting.

I ignored him because my attention was completely drawn to the waiter serving the food.

I tightened my lips and tried hard not to laugh. Ms. Lin also noticed him. She looked at him and then at me. Her helpless eyes seemed to tell me: There is really nothing I can do with you...

My brothers are really capable. They can sneak in here. Who else could that person who came to deliver food with a serious face but Ding Yibo? I guess Qin Luotian and Yao Yuan will come to deliver food later, but Cheng Xinyuan probably won't. Aunt Re knows him, so it's too easy to be exposed...

Chen Jingxing saw me smiling at the waiter, and the waiter pretended to be serious, "Do you know each other?"

“How handsome!”

"You... like this type?"

I suddenly stared at Chen Jingxing for several seconds. His face turned red. "What do you care?"

"Lin Lin, what are you two talking about? Tell us, Jingxing's face is blushing..." Aunt Weihe looked at us with a gossipy look on her face.

I was not panicked at all, "Nothing, he is not easy to tease~"

Aunt Wei He laughed heartily, "I've never seen my son like this before. His ears are all red now. Lin Lin, you can tease him as much as you want! He is happy to be teased by you!"

What is this aunt thinking? I said that to lower my impression, why did she still go along with me?

The three elders have already started eating, so I also took a piece of Maoxuewang. It looks good, smells good, but how about the taste? As a classic Sichuan dish, you are not spicy? Is your bowl of peppers just for decoration? How disrespectful!

There was an extra piece of pork ribs on the plate, "This is delicious."

"Thank you..." Is this Chen Jingxing's inherited ability to be sociable?

"I'm a good cook. I'll let you taste my cooking if I have a chance. I can make this sweet and sour pork as well as he does."

Thanks for the invitation... I declined...

"No need to clamp it for me, thank you, I have my own hands..."

Chen Jingxing paused as he picked up the food and said, "Okay."

The three gossipy elders chatted and smiled at Chen Jingxing and me.

Another dish came, steamed sea bass, um, I like it.

The one serving the food is... Qin Luotian...

How come this kid is more serious than Ding Yi Bo? The service in this hotel is quite good. Didn’t the waiter tell them to keep smiling when the dishes were served?

If it weren't for Aunt Re and Aunt Wei He, Ms. Lin would have rolled her eyes. These little brats, none of them are worry-free at the critical moment...

"Do you like eating fish?" Chen Jingxing saw me pick up several pieces of fish with my chopsticks.

"Well, eating fish is smart..."

He picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root and gave it to me. "I see you didn't eat this. This is also delicious and not too sweet."

"No, eating lotus root is ugly..."

He burst out laughing and said, "Then I'll eat it." Then he picked up another lotus root from my plate.

His series of actions were gentlemanly and proper in the eyes of the three elders, but I found them offensive. I don't believe in love at first sight, and I don't fall for his tricks.

I excused myself to go to the restroom and looked back twice. Fortunately, no one followed me out. I found the service desk on this floor and heard Ding Yibo and Qin Luotian complaining to Cheng Xinyuan from a distance.

"She does look good, but her behavior is frivolous. I don't like her!" Qin Luotian said.

"He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and that look has never been on our sister. He looks shameless. I don't believe that he would be single with his looks?" Ding Yi Bo said.

……

"Are you done?" I leaned over the corner with my head sticking out, and whispered, "You guys are talking so loudly, are you afraid that someone can't hear you?"

Cheng Xinyuan laughed as soon as he saw me, "Sister, why did you come out?"

"Come out and complain about the waiters! There were two good-looking waiters who had long faces when serving the dishes! It really affects the appetite!" I said seriously. Qin Luotian and Ding Yibo smiled embarrassedly, "How did you get in?"

"The foreman is my aunt..." Yao Yuan raised his hand very calmly.

Pretty!

"Whoever goes in later, remember to keep smiling. We have to act like real people~" I showed them a standard smile, "You didn't see it, my mother was almost speechless! Chen Jingxing even suspected it!"

"His name is Chen Jingxing?" Cheng Xinyuan asked me.

"Um…"

"What's your impression of him?"

"generally…"

"He is from Tsinghua University and looks like Vic Chou~"

"Tsk, your sister almost got admitted to Peking University, and I'm not bad looking!"

"Well, it's normal that he likes you~"

"That's it. Who am I to be your sister? I won't say anything more. I'm going in now. If I stay out for too long, people will tell on me!"

Qin Luotian reminded me: "According to the routine of the TV series, after eating for a while, my aunt and the others will make an excuse to come out. By then, it will be just you and Chen Jingxing. We can't go in all the way. You...be careful!"

I was speechless for a moment, "You said it was a TV drama routine?"

“Art comes from life…”

"Okay, I get it. If he really dares to do anything to me, I will kill him!" I flicked my hair and left in style.

Not long after I sat back down at the table and hadn't said a few words, Aunt Re took Ms. Lin and Aunt Wei He out.

No, Qin Luotian was right?

Now I'm really embarrassed...

What was Ms. Lin thinking! How could she go out without any worries! Did she trust Chen Jingxing so much!?

"Yeah...it's a bit awkward..." Chen Jingxing tried hard to adjust the atmosphere.

"Hmm..." I picked up a piece of potato. The best way to relieve embarrassment is to keep eating!

"Cheng Lin..."

"Hmm?" I looked at him with my cheeks puffed up.

"What's your impression of me?"

"Tell the truth?"

"Ah."

"generally…"

He laughed again, and this time he looked more like Vic Chou.

I was a little dumbfounded: "With your appearance, didn't a talent scout scout you to debut?"

"Then why do you have such a general impression of me when I look like this?"

"It's a feeling, it has nothing to do with looks. I like looking at handsome guys, but liking to look and liking are two different things."

"Cheng Lin..." Chen Jingxing looked at me seriously, "You are more interesting than I thought. I want to get to know you better, okay?"

"It's up to you. You can get to know me from anyone you want, but not from me. I don't have time for you to know me." Except for the Maoxuewang which was not spicy, the other dishes were delicious, especially the fish, which was tender and soft and steamed to perfection.

"Okay." Chen Jingxing smiled softly, "I heard from Auntie that you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"I don't necessarily have to take the exam, what if I get in?" I said shamelessly. This is also the truth. In my last life, I had the opportunity to be admitted to graduate school, but I missed it. My test scores were good, but then Cheng Xinyuan's incident happened.

"Then let's add each other's contact information first, okay?" Chen Jingxing took out his cell phone and said, "Even if you don't have a good impression of me, you can treat me as a resource. In the future, whether it's about the postgraduate entrance examination or other things, you can ask me anytime..."

"Actually..." I haven't figured out how to shirk it yet.

"Cheng Lin, I'm serious. Let's just treat it as making ordinary friends, okay? Don't think about what will happen to us in the future. If you really mind these, I don't want to cause you any trouble... In that case..." Chen Jingxing pretended to put away his phone.

"Well, I don't mean anything else... I just have an average impression of you, which has nothing to do with hating you..." Just add it if you want. If not now, I will find another way to add it later.

"Really?" Chen Jingxing said happily.

"Yeah." I took out my phone and added Chen Jingxing to my WeChat account. It's up to me whether I reply or not.

"Cheng Lin, your name is really nice."

"Your name is not bad, Jingxing Qingyun. You don't have a sister named Chen Qingyun, do you?"

He laughed heartily, "There is indeed a Chen Qingyun, but... he is my younger brother, and he is only twelve years old this year."

"Oh, then his name isn't as nice as yours."

"Yes, he protested that too."

I continued to eat, and almost all of the three fresh vegetables on the plate went into my stomach. Chen Jingxing just watched me eat, and I felt embarrassed. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"You are so pretty..."

I was so disgusted that I rolled my eyes.

His smile widened, "Cheng Lin, you are really different."

"To be honest, I'm a little annoyed with you right now." I said with a stern face.

"Yeah, I know..." Chen Jingxing laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Damn, who is kidding whom? Why is this crappy dinner not over yet? When will Ms. Lin and the others come back?
