    lunch

    Because of the dumplings given by Zhu Hantao, Gu Xiangxiang did not eat with Song Xue at noon. She put the dumplings in the microwave to heat them, then took them back to her seat and gently opened the lid.

    A unique aroma of pasta instantly penetrated her nose. The dumplings inside were white and plump and neatly arranged. Gu wanted to pick one up, put it in her mouth after it cooled down a little, and bit into it. The umami flavor of mushrooms and fresh meat immediately occupied her taste buds. There were also chewy shrimps in it. The three ingredients were mixed and matched just right, with a moderate saltiness and a sweet taste.

    After swallowing the dumplings in his mouth, Gu Xiangxiang said to Zhu Han who was standing by, “Your aunt is really good at mixing the stuffing. It tastes good.”

    After she finished speaking, she thought for a while and added: “You are also very good at wrapping, but you are much better than me.”

    Hearing the little girl praising himself, Zhu Hantao was a little shy, but also very happy. He made a few noises and said, “As long as you like it.”

    Gu thought about eating two and then found Zhu Hantao sitting there. She asked strangely: “Aren’t you going to eat?”

    Zhu Hantao unconsciously drew circles on the table with his fingers: “My brother ordered the food and will eat it after it is delivered to him later.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the food delivery person came. Zhu Hanjiang walked out of the office and put the food he ordered on Zhu Hantao’s table. He took out a cup and put it in front of Gu Xiang: “Think about it, this is tomato meatball soup. Didn’t you say you wanted to drink tomato soup before going to bed last night? I bought you a cup. Can you try it?”

    Gu Xiangxiang felt a little hungry before going to bed last night, so he posted on WeChat Moments that he wanted to drink tomato soup. Because the picture was wrong, she deleted it, so only Zhu Hanjiang happened to see it.

    Seeing the tomato soup, Gu Xiangxiang was quite happy. The dumplings were a bit dry, so it was just right to drink the soup. She praised Zhu Hanjiang with a smile, opened the lid and stirred it a few times with a spoon, then scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it into her mouth.

    “It tastes good. Which restaurant is this from?” Gu Xiangxiang drank the soup and ate a meatball. The meat was delicious and tender, and not greasy at all.

    “It’s on the street in front. If you like it, would you like to try its food?”

    Zhu Hanjiang said that he was about to put out the other food boxes. Gu Xiangxiang quickly waved his hand and said: “No, I can’t finish all the food. You can eat by yourself. It will get cold later.”

    Zhu Hanjiang didn’t force it, so he dragged a chair over and sat at Zhu Hantao’s desk to have lunch with his brother.

    After a while, colleagues who had finished their meal came back one after another. They were surprised to see their boss eating with his brother outside the office. Secretary Zhang adjusted his glasses, showed a weird smile, and quickly ran back to his seat to share gossip with other colleagues. The theme was: the life-and-death fight between the two Zhu brothers over a girl for lunch.

    After eating the dumplings, Gu Xiangxiang was about to take the lunch box to wash it when Zhu Hantao stopped her and said, “No, I’ll just take it back and wash it for the servants.”

    Without thinking about it, Gu didn’t insist. He handed the lunch box back to Zhu Hantao and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

    “No, you’re welcome…” Zhu Hantao’s voice was softer than a mosquito, and he put the lunch box into his pocket with a red face. This was the lunch box he had eaten…
