DAVM Chapter 58.2

Then, he asked: “Would Zhile be willing to have dinner with Pei Jing?”

Ji Zhile nodded quickly: “Yes, of course.”

A smile appeared on Ji Ningyi’s face. He stretched out his arms and hugged Ji Zhile. His face turned slightly red, and he spoke in a low voice: “Zhile, don’t have to worry about who will snatch me away. I will always be Zhile’s brother.”

He was not very good at expressing his feelings, so he felt a little embarrassed when he said this, but he felt so happy after saying it.

Ji Zhile’s face also turned red. He opened his hands and hugged his brother back: “I understand, hehe.”

Ji Ningyi said: “Then let’s go to Brother Pei Jing and let him have dinner with us, shall we?”

Ji Zhile nodded: “Okay.”

“Because Pei Jing is at home alone, no one will cook for him…” Ji Ningyi’s voice was slightly bitter, and he wanted to help Pei Jing.

Hearing this, Ji Zhile immediately imagined that Pei Jing was alone at home with nothing to eat and could only drink cold water to fill his stomach, just like the little match girl. He must be very, very pitiful. (T/N: What a drama king! Haha…)

Ji Zhile clenched his fists and decided to make it clear to Pei Jing later.

Ji Ningyi took Ji Zhile’s hand and knocked on the door of Pei Jing’s house again. After a while, the door opened from the inside.

The moment he saw Pei Jing, Ji Zhile confessed frantically: “Brother Pei Jing, I like you so much. I don’t hate you at all. Come home with us for dinner, don’t drink cold water alone…”

As he spoke, Ji Zhile smelled something. He moved his nose and looked for the smell. Then, he saw a bowl of instant noodles on the table, and his eyes widened immediately.

“Brother Pei Jing, are you eating instant noodles?”

Pei Jing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He knew that in their eyes, instant noodles were junk food, but now they were seen…

He said ‘hmm’ softly.

Ji Zhile immediately looked at Ji Ningyi and complained: “Brother, you said that Brother Pei Jing is very pitiful when he is alone at home.”

Ji Ningyi, who was suddenly exposed by his younger brother, was a little embarrassed. He did not dare to look at Pei Jing’s eyes because he remembered that Pei Jing said he did not want his pity, but he could not restrain his feelings.

Looking at the bowl of instant noodles, Ji Zhile could not help saying, “I want to be so pitiful too…”

Ji Ningyi:?

Pei Jing:?

Hearing Ji Zhile’s words, the two children were stunned for a moment.

Ji Zhile swallowed: “Instant noodles are so delicious. How can you call it pitiful to eat instant noodles?”

The last time Ji Zhile had instant noodles was a long, long time ago. The taste was really delicious, the instant noodles were bouncy, and the instant noodle soup was delicious. He wanted to eat them so much. Those who can eat instant noodles are happy!

Pei Jing only had to turn his eyes slightly to see Ji Zhile’s salivating look. It was really unpretentious. He asked hesitantly: “Does Zhile want to eat?”

When Ji Zhile heard this, he already wanted to take action, but he still managed to restrain himself and asked politely: “Is it okay?”

His brother said that this was Brother Pei Jing’s dinner, so he must be more polite.

Pei Jing said, “Yes.”

Immediately, Ji Zhile threw all politeness behind him, quickly climbed onto the table, picked up the chopsticks on the table, kneaded the noodles in the bowl of instant noodles, and started. It wasn’t until he took a big bite that he raised his head, looked at Pei Jing and Ji Ningyi, and said with a bit of showoff: “I’ve already eaten.”

In Ji Zhile’s mind, if others eat something, other people can’t take it randomly. Even if they really want to eat it, they can’t eat it.

When Ji Ningyi saw Ji Zhile’s quick movements, his face became slightly hot. He hummed, thinking that his younger brother Ji Zhile was really gluttonous.

The corners of Pei Jing’s lips raised slightly: “Go ahead and eat.”

Ji Zhile ate very quickly. Firstly, he was really hungry because it was already dinner time. Secondly, the instant noodles were so delicious that he wanted to eat them again tomorrow. In the end, he finished the noodles and drank several mouthfuls of soup.

Only then did Ji Zhile raise his head to look at the other two people standing aside. He also felt a little embarrassed after realizing it.

“Brother Pei Jing, I’ve finished eating your instant noodles.”

“How about Brother Pei Jing coming to our house? I’ll give you my dinner!”

Ji Zhile is a very fair child. In his eyes, the dinner made by his aunt is not as good as instant noodles. He did not want to make Pei Jing suffer, so he said, “I’ll exchange two meals for you, okay?”

I think I understand Zhile’s brain circuit this time, haha…

I also wanted to exchange my vegetable dishes with instant noodles!
