Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 362: The Appearance of "Cousin"

Luo Lingchen smiled and took Shen Li's hand, and they walked into the dining room together.

In the originally quiet dining room, everyone subconsciously raised their heads after hearing the noise, and their eyes all fell on his hand holding Shen Li. For a moment, the atmosphere in the dining room seemed to freeze, revealing a subtle breath.

Shen Shaodong remained calm, his face still with that calm expression, as if he didn't notice the strange atmosphere. He just raised his hand slightly and said, "Come on, come and sit down."

Su Ran, who was sitting in her seat, saw the two people holding hands tightly, and felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The flame of jealousy instantly burned in her heart.

Li'er finally got rid of Nangong Qi from Xiqi and thought she finally had a chance, but now a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere! He even dared to hold Li'er's hand!

How could he not be extremely anxious and jealous? His hands unconsciously squeezed the chopsticks hard, his knuckles turning white from the force, and it took a lot of effort to calm his mind.

She forced a smile that was uglier than crying, looked at Shen Shaodong and asked, "Uncle, who is this?"

While speaking, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Luo Lingchen and Shen Li, trying to find out something from Shen Shaodong's answer.

His eyes were full of unwillingness and eagerness, as if as long as he could find a flaw, he could completely drive away this inexplicable man who suddenly appeared in front of him, leaving him alone to guard Shen Li.

Over the years, Shen Shaodong naturally understood Su Ran's thoughts, but in his opinion, compared to the unknown Su Ran in front of him, Luo Lingchen was more to his liking.

After all, both of them came from another world. If they really get married in the future, they will definitely have a lot of common topics and will get along more smoothly.

So, he said calmly and casually, "Oh, he is Li'er's distant cousin! We just happened to meet here again, and he is going back to Beichen with us."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xuan, who was sitting at the same table, was surprised. He opened his eyes wide, scratched his head, looked at Shen Shaodong in confusion, and asked, "Father, why don't I remember having such a cousin?"

Shen Shaodong secretly sighed that this kid was really talking about something that was not related to the topic, but he still lied seriously and said in a serious tone, "You are still young, so you naturally can't remember many things. Okay, okay, don't ask so many questions. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, your cousin will follow us back to Beichen. You can ask your cousin carefully on the way."

Having said that, he took the lead in picking up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating by himself, as if this could get rid of this slightly embarrassing topic.

Luo Lingchen had a faint smile on his lips, which showed a bit of calmness and confidence. He first bowed politely to everyone, and then walked to Shen Li's side naturally and gentlemanly, gently pulled out the chair, his eyes full of tenderness and consideration, and reached out to support Shen Li, pressing her steadily into the chair.

After doing all this, he calmly and naturally pulled out the chair next to Shen Li and sat down with confidence. The whole process was smooth, as if this was the place where he was supposed to sit, without any awkwardness or discomfort.

This action, when seen by others, made people secretly gasp in amazement, and they even had more speculations about the relationship between the two.

Su Ran also lowered his head in silence, seemingly picking at the food in his bowl, but in reality, he was secretly thinking: Cousin? Let's go back to Beichen together? Ha! Why not just stop him from going!

As if he had figured something out, Su Ran became cheerful again, quickly picking at the food in the bowl as if he were eating a delicacy.
