Seeing the loss on Rongshu’s face, Fu Jingting peeled a white-burned shrimp and put it on her plate, “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten seafood like this, so this time, eat happily and eat more, and I’ll accompany you whenever you want to eat in the future.”
Hearing the man’s words, Rong Shu’s heart was touched and she smiled and nodded, “Yes, that’s what you said, don’t break your promise when you get busy.”
“I won’t.” Fu Jingting shook his head, “Big deal, I’ll eat seafood with you while I’m busy, whether it’s dealing with documents or meetings, as long as you don’t mind.”
“Pfft.” Hearing the man’s description, Rong Shu instantly burst into uncontrollable laughter.
“What do you mean you can eat seafood with me while having meetings and dealing with documents, that’s too funny.”
It was really funny, in her mind she couldn’t help but picture Fu Jingting sitting in the conference room, dozens and hundreds of people below in a meeting, while Fu Jingting sat in his own seat with a plate of seafood in front of him, peeling the shells of shrimps while explaining the content of the meeting to the crowd.
This scene, how to look at it, was funny.
Rongshu was laughing so hard that her face was flushed.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “Okay, okay, it’s okay to laugh for a while, don’t laugh too long, you’ll lose your breath.”
Rongshu nodded her head repeatedly, “Mm-hmm, I know.”
She hurriedly took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
Fu Jingting picked up a crab and put it on the plate, then while putting on his gloves, he said, “How about it, are you in a better mood now?”
Rongshu raised her eyebrows, “So you just said that you were having a meeting and eating seafood with me at the same time, just to make me happy?”
“More or less.” After Fu Jingting put on his gloves, he opened another box with professional crab dismantling tools inside.
Rongshu’s heart warmed, “Of course it’s better, I was laughing so happily just now, can I still be in a bad mood, but I really didn’t expect that you would actually take the initiative to cheer me up.”
“You are my lover, if I don’t coax you, who will?” Fu Jingting raised his eyes to look at her, and after he finished in a warm voice, he lowered his head again and began to unwrap the crabs.
This was the first time that Rongshu had seen him unwrapping crabs.
To be honest, unwrapping crabs was not a very elegant thing to do, especially for people in the circle, it could even be said to be a very vulgar thing that felt very dirty and messy.
So when people in the circle eat crabs, they eat them well dismantled and handled by others, basically they don’t do it themselves, they would feel that it would be degrading to their image and they would be afraid that others would laugh at them.
Even when she was eating with other people, she wouldn’t do it herself. Only in private, when she was alone, or when she was eating with Lu Qi, would she do it herself without paying attention to her image, but usually not outside.
She had thought that Fu Jingting would be the same and would not do it himself, but to her surprise, he did it himself.
His movements were not in the least indecent, but rather extraordinarily graceful and pleasing to the eye.
Rongshu couldn’t take her eyes off of him.
All in all, Fu Jingting was the first person to be able to do something so artistic and ornamental, something that everyone in his circle avoided and shunned.
The way Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting, she couldn’t help but look at him with admiration.
When Fu Jingting noticed this, he looked up at her and saw that she was staring unblinkingly at the crab in her hand, the curvature of his lips grew stronger and stronger, but he didn’t say anything and quickly lowered his head again and continued to handle the crab in his hand, but his movements were much faster.
A few minutes later, a huge crab was finished being dismantled by Fu Jingting, all the crab meat and crab yolk were packed into the crab lid, the crab meat and crab yolk trembled when he touched it, it looked so tempting that one could not wait to scoop it down and put it directly into one’s mouth, the feeling of having crab meat all over one’s mouth must be very refreshing.
Rongshu couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, and then with difficulty, she looked away.
She was afraid that if she looked at it, she wouldn’t be able to resist snatching up the crab.
She might as well unwrap one herself.
When Rongshu put down her chopsticks and was about to take the crab and unwrap it herself, a large hand reached over, still holding the crab lid filled with crab meat.
The big hand reached out to the plate in front of her and put the crab lid on her plate.
Rongshu froze, looked at the crab meat on her plate, and then looked at the man who took his hand back, her mouth opened in disbelief, “Why did you give this to me?”
Fu Jingting took a tissue to wipe his hands, looked at her and said with a smile, “It was meant for you to open.”
Rongshu’s eyes widened, “You gave it to me?”
“Yes.” Fu Jingting nodded, “Hurry up and eat, it will get cold later and smell fishy.”
Rongshu made sure of all this, the crab meat was indeed for her, he had unwrapped it especially for her.
She had just been salivating and trying to snatch it away secretly, but to her surprise, he had prepared it for her from the very beginning.
Warm currents flowed through Rongshu’s heart, and the expression on her face, too, was incredibly gentle, “Thank you.”
Fu Jingting picked up the black tea and took a sip, “What’s there to thank you for, a crab is just a crab, eat it, but you can’t eat it after this one, crabs are cold and bad for your body.”
“Mmmm.” Rongshu nodded heavily, happiness written all over her face and eyes.
Fu Jingting put down the black tea, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat it himself.
Rongshu ate the crab with such happiness that her face never faded into a smile.
When Fu Jingting saw her eating so happily, he was also happy in his own heart.
Even though he hadn’t steamed the crab, he had opened it with his own hands, and the fact that she was so happy eating it made him, the crab-opener, feel satisfied.
The kind of satisfaction of being recognised.
“By the way, how do you know how to unwrap crabs?” Rongshu suddenly thought of this and asked curiously as she looked at Fu Jingting.
She had the impression that he was not a person who could unwrap crabs, let alone a person who could do such things.
But he had done it, and he had done it very well, the movement of dismantling the crabs was not the least bit rusty, it was very skillful, he was an old hand at it.
This was not like him.
Fu Jingting used his knife and fork to cut open an abalone in the Buddha’s jumping wall and said to Rong Shu with a light smile, “I learnt it specially before.”
“Why are you learning this?” Rongshu was even more confused, “It’s not like this skill is a must-have, it won’t help you in your career.”
In his opinion, he should be learning all sorts of elite professional skills, not a side-show crab-busting skill.
Even if he’s learning to cook now, he doesn’t necessarily have to learn to demolish crabs.
The two, as yet, are not directly related.
Fu Jingting ate the abalone, put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth before saying, “It’s true that it won’t help my career, but it will help my love.”
He raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes gentle but deep in love.
The tips of her ears burned at his unabashedly blunt gaze, and Rongshu couldn’t help but lower her head slightly, “What are you talking about?”
“I’m telling the truth, after I knew all your hobbies, I learned almost related skills, just so I could come in handy one day and have something in common with you, for example, this time, opening crabs, I learned to open crabs specifically a long time ago since you love seafood, just so I could help you open a crab by hand when we eat seafood together, so you could eat the the best crab meat.”
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu’s voice trembled lightly, and the moving in her heart was, naturally, unmistakable.
touched by it.
She had guessed before that behind her back, this man must have done other things for her without her knowledge, and sure enough, even something like unwrapping a crab, he had gone and learnt, just for this moment now, it was really hard to know what to make people say?
