PNB Chapter 198 Eat meat peacefully, don't want dog food!
Chapter 198 Eat meat peacefully, don't want dog food!
Lunch was naturally eaten in the main tent.
Yinshuang returned later, and apart from her face being a little red, she seemed normal.
Su Mowan glanced at Chaoyang standing behind Murong Jing again and saw that his expression was much more relaxed than before, so she thought that the two of them were probably in good shape.
After the food was served, the group left.
Su Mowan glanced at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Is this special treatment?
There's meat in it!
Just as Su Mowan was about to pick up her chopsticks, Su Mobai lifted the curtain and came in, heading straight for the table.
"I was wondering what smelled so good. That's really not very kind of Your Highness. You didn't even tell me you had something good?"
These words were clearly directed at Murong Jing.
Murong Jing didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and casually said, "We didn't prepare any extra bowls and chopsticks."
After a pause, he still addressed the area outside the tent: "Feng Yue, go find a set of bowls and chopsticks."
When Su Mobai first heard the first sentence, he frowned and was about to get upset, but when he heard the second sentence, he felt that Murong Jing was quite sensible.
Just as a satisfied smile appeared on her lips, Murong Jing reached out and put a chicken leg into Su Mowan's bowl, saying, "Eat more, you're too thin."
"...Cough, cough!"
Su Mowan quickly turned her back, afraid of spitting it onto the table.
Murong Jing was not satisfied with her uncooperative reaction, but when he saw Su Mobai glare at him, he felt relieved.
He briefly met Su Mobai's dissatisfied gaze, then put two more pieces of braised pork into Su Mowan's bowl.
"Eat quickly, it'll be gone in no time."
"..."
Su Mowan was flattered!
Su Mobai suddenly laughed and said provocatively, "Fine, you did it on purpose, didn't you? It's fine, I'm not going to take your share."
Then, turning her head to her sister, she said, "Mo Wan, take a bite, and leave me a bite. I won't mind."
"..."
Su Mowan looked at this and that, feeling utterly helpless.
Murong Jing is one thing, but even Su Mobai is playing such childish games.
She froze, chopsticks in mid-air, too afraid to make the first move. Mainly because Su Mobai was watching her with a smile, and she felt timid.
Murong Jing was just saying it; he didn't actually intend to start eating before Su Su Mobai. Seeing that Su Mowan seemed a little timid yet respectful towards Su Mobai, Murong Jing's expression darkened again.
Su Mowan showed not the slightest bit of fear in front of him.
She dared to deceive him quite a few times; she was simply lawless.
But as soon as she's in front of Su Mobai, she becomes as docile as a kitten.
His Highness the King of Qin felt more and more that things couldn't continue like this, and he had to find an opportunity to restore his authority as a husband!
Su Mowan had no idea what Murong Jing was thinking. Seeing that the atmosphere was strangely quiet, she had no choice but to start a conversation with Su Mobai.
"Brother, how are you and second brother doing lately?"
"What else can happen? It's just like that."
As Su Mobai spoke, he frowned and added, "With Ruofeng's skills, it won't be easy for him to get into the top three."
Su Mowan glanced at Su Mobai in surprise; this was a rare instance of him not being sarcastic.
For her, it wasn't just difficult, it was practically hopeless!
Although she didn't see the earlier matches, judging from the later ones, Shen Muyao was definitely better than Su Ruofeng, plus Shangguan Qingqi, and finally Tang Jingzhi, who was quite unexpected for Su Mowan.
It's clear that Tang Jingzhi didn't use his full strength in that competition at all; in fact, he seemed to be doing it very easily, as if it were a game.
Su Mowan couldn't discern the depth of this person's abilities.
In other words, Su Ruofeng's only chance to enter the top three is to be better than Tang Jingzhi, but at present, that's very uncertain.
Murong Jing listened quietly, his thin lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but Su Mowan spoke first.
Su Mowan thought for a moment, and since there were no outsiders present, she felt reassured and spoke boldly.
"How strong is Tang Jingzhi compared to Shen Muyao?"
Su Mobai understood what she meant.
She smacked her lips, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly as she turned her gaze to Murong Jing.
Clearly, he wanted Murong Jing to answer this question.
Murong Jing finally found an opportunity to interject, and said coldly, "Shen Muyao is quite capable. Tang Jingzhi may not be able to see it yet, but in my opinion, he is not simple."
Not only Su Mobai, but even Murong Jing was unaware of Tang Jingzhi's strength.
Tang Jingzhi was like a sudden gust of wind, leaving people completely bewildered.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again.
Needless to say, Su Mowan also had a bad feeling.
Based on her intuition, Tang Jingzhi was not only more powerful than Su Ruofeng, but perhaps even Shen Muyao and Shangguan Qingqi were no match for him.
The calm and composed aura emanating from Tang Jingzhi was all too familiar.
Thinking of this, Su Mowan tilted her head and looked Su Mobai up and down.
She said jokingly, "Brother, don't you think Tang Jingzhi looks a little familiar?"
Su Mobai smiled, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.
He said dismissively, "Familiar? Of course I'm familiar. Don't you see a bit of me in him?"
"..."
It seems she's not the only one who feels this way.
Su Mowan blinked.
Tang Jingzhi does indeed possess an aura similar to Su Mobai's—subtle yet impossible to ignore.
A thought suddenly crossed Su Mowan's mind: "This Tang Jingzhi, is he going to take the written exam again?"
"Yes."
Murong Jing said with a cold face.
He was the chief examiner in charge of both the civil and military examinations, and he knew the list in advance.
Su Mowan had a very strange feeling, as if Tang Jingzhi was targeting Su Mobai. It wasn't that he wanted to do anything to Su Mobai, but rather it was a silent provocation, or rather, a competition.
Tang Jingzhi may want to surpass Su Mobai.
Compared to Su Mowan's expression, Su Mobai looked much more relaxed.
He snatched the chopsticks from Su Mowan's hand with a smooth and natural movement, picked up a chicken leg, and said with a faint smile, "You look quite imposing, but it won't be so easy for you to surpass me."
Su Mowan was surprised again.
I thought Su Mobai would definitely say "in the next life." Lately, he's been unusually normal in his speech.
Murong Jing's expression was cold.
He stared at the chopsticks in Su Mobai's hand.
Seeing that Su Mobai remained unmoved, Murong Jing handed the chopsticks in his hand to Su Mowan.
Su Mowan glanced at Su Mobai, who was busy dealing with the chicken leg, and then at Murong Jing, whose face was not looking good, and obediently took it.
She picked up a chicken leg and placed it in the bowl in front of Murong Jing.
Murong Jing's expression didn't change much, but he felt much more relaxed, and even the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
He glanced at Su Mobai, who was frowning and looking over, his eyes revealing a hint of smugness.
Su Mobai, with a chicken leg in his mouth, couldn't bring himself to taunt him, but his eyes flashed a defiant glare.
Seeing that the two had inexplicably started arguing again, Su Mowan, not understanding why, pushed the bowl in front of her towards Su Mobai.
Su Mowan was mainly worried that Su Mobai might accidentally drop the chicken leg he was holding in his mouth, which would ruin all that elegant movement he had just made.
Little did he know that this action would plunge Murong Jing's newly brightened mood back into gloom.
Taking the opportunity, Su Mobai raised an eyebrow triumphantly, placed the chicken leg in the bowl, and chewed it with impeccable manners while showing off his two beautiful tiger teeth.
If you were to pinpoint the most similar feature between Su Mowan and Su Mobai, aside from their faces, it would be their two prominent canine teeth.
The brother and sister are exactly alike.
However, Su Mobai did not have dimples.
Su Mowan still had some questions to ask, but it was clearly not the right time, so she could only put aside her thoughts and smile at Murong Jing.
That smile was like springtime in full bloom.
Just then, Feng Yue returned with the bowls and chopsticks. After Murong Jing took them, he immediately shoveled all the dishes on the table into the bowl and finally placed the full bowl in front of Su Mowan.
"..."
Su Mowan regretted it as soon as she finished laughing.
Looking at the horribly piled bowls in front of her, she gave a pleading look.
Murong Jing glanced at her indifferently.
"No picky eating allowed."
"..."
Su Mowan had nothing to say.
The bowl was piled high with meat, with almost no vegetables. Murong Jing was picking out all the meat for her to eat!
She hasn't gotten that thin, has she?
Su Mowan frowned and reached for her chopsticks.
But just as she reached out with her chopsticks, another pair of chopsticks appeared in the bowl and started picking up the braised pork and chicken pieces from it.
"Don't give Mo Wan such greasy food, she doesn't like it."
Su Mowan and Murong Jing both glanced over at the same time.
Su Mobai blinked and shamelessly said, "No need to thank me, consider this an advance notice of Mo Wan's preferences."
"..."
Su Mowan could only nod in agreement with Murong Jing: "I really... don't like eating these greasy foods."
Just as Su Mobai's chopsticks reached into Su Mowan's bowl again, a slender hand picked up the bowl, and Su Mobai's chopsticks missed their target.
Without pausing, Murong Jing placed the bowl in front of himself, then picked up his original bowl and ate the remaining three vegetarian dishes, filling it to the brim before placing it in front of Su Mowan.
"..."
Su Mowan's eyes were practically green with envy.
Will we only feed her vegetarian food from now on?
Su Mobai is really something, talking nonsense. She actually quite likes eating meat...
Just as she was looking conflicted, Murong Jing dipped another piece of chicken into the vegetable soup and put it in her bowl.
"Eat like this for now, and I'll have the chef make you something lighter when we get back."
This time, Su Mowan was happy; as long as there was meat, that was fine.
Su Mobai, standing to the side, narrowed his fox-like eyes, scanning the two of them back and forth. Finally, he curled the corners of his mouth, clicked his tongue almost inaudibly, and lowered his head.
Last time, Murong Jing unintentionally showered me with dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), but today he went even further, throwing a whole bowl of dog food at me right in front of me.
Su Mobai declared that he would rather eat meat peacefully and not be subjected to any PDA!
And so, the meal ended with Murong Jing adding dishes from time to time.
Just as Su Mowan was about to rub her stomach, Su Mobai stood up, took out a clean white handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, and said to her, "Prince Qin has something to attend to. Come with me first, I have something to tell you."
