As it was almost time for dinner, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi had to temporarily put aside their martial arts practice. The two of them chattered nonstop with Xiaojingchen, who listened attentively with wide eyes, but didn't stop eating pastries the whole time.

  Although it's said that the dinner on New Year's Eve is always a reunion dinner, nowadays nobody cares about this anymore. Whether you have your reunion in the afternoon or at night doesn't make any difference. Grandma Bai and three aunties all brought out their signature dishes, the aroma of food filled the entire building, making several little kids swallow saliva uncontrollably.

  There were two round tables in the dining hall, one large and one small, but the dishes on them were the same.

  Eleven adults sit at one table, eight children sit at another table, just right.

  Great Uncle Bai Lejing took Eldest Brother Bai Xuchen to the gate to set off firecrackers, the deafening sound of the firecrackers shook heaven and earth. Little Liu and Little Qi pulled Xiao Jingchen with the fastest speed towards the dinner table, occupying a favorable position, and others also followed suit.

  The adults were drinking wine, the children were having drinks. Xiaojing was sitting between Xiaoliu and Xiaogui, but unfortunately, the table was a bit high and the stool was a bit short. The little one's height was a bit off, but she didn't mind at all. She directly squatted on the chair like a qualified big frog, making Baibai Nainai, who was preparing to find her a small stool to sit on, smile helplessly and shake her head. Xiaoliu and Xiaogui also covered their mouths and giggled, with stars twinkling in their eyes.

  Bai Luo Chen happened to be sitting right across from Xiao Jingchen, a pair of bright big eyes with undisguised displeasure, and everyone else was used to it.

  Xiao Jingchen was used to eating rice crazily on the dinner table, and it was a bit uncomfortable to just eat vegetables and drink juice like this. For a while, he didn't know what to do. Xiao Qi took advantage of the situation and put a rice ball wrapped in rice grains into Xiao Jingchen's bowl. "Sister, try this, happy rice ball, my mom made it, it's delicious."

  Jing saw the white and tender rice grain-like eyes lit up, didn't care what was wrapped inside, and prepared to put it in her mouth. Fortunately, Bai Xijing had been paying attention to her and immediately said, "Jing, that's a meatball, don't eat it."

  Xiao Jingchen was taken aback, hesitantly gazing at the pure white rice grains that seemed to tempt her. She lightly picked up a piece with her chopsticks and it split open, revealing fragrant meat filling inside. Disappointed, she put the piece into Xiao Qi's bowl, "I can't eat meat."

  Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingchen with sympathetic eyes, "Sister, you're really pitiful, can't even eat meat, how boring is that to live!"

  The big brother Bai Xuchen sitting next to him almost spat out a mouthful of juice, and slapped the back of his head with a loud slap, laughing and scolding, "How old are you, do you know how to live, don't be so cheerful?"

  Xiao Qi rubbed the back of his head, resentfully staring at Bai Xuzhen. Not only was Bai Xuzhen his older brother, but they also shared the same parents. He was completely unable to express his anger, and could only vent by fiercely biting into a meatball, swallowing it as if it were an imaginary enemy.

  A handful of cabbage and mushrooms were placed in a small bowl, the little guy was stunned, looked up, it was the second brother Bai Xichen who rarely spoke. He and Bai Xuchen are twins, they look almost identical. Xiao Jingchen's eyebrows curved, "Thank you, Second Brother." Then he stuffed all the cabbage and mushrooms into his mouth, his cheeks bulging as he moved diligently, looking like a innocent little squirrel.

  Bai Xi Chen nodded slightly and poured her a bowl of tofu soup again.

  The ingredients in tofu soup are diverse, including not only white tofu but also dried bean curd, silver ear fungus, wood ear fungus, peanuts and so on, it's almost a vegetarian dish with a mix of everything.

  Because Bai Xi Jing had told Grandma Bai that Xiao Jingchen was a vegetarian, half of the dishes on the table were vegetarian and did not contain any meat or fish. In order to find these vegetarian recipes, Grandma Bai almost got her hair tangled into a bun from worrying, and of course, the three aunts also made a great effort.

  It's just that there are only a few kinds of common vegetarian dishes, and to make various delicious dishes with complete color, fragrance, and flavor by matching common vegetarian dishes is a great test of the chef's skills. It must be said that Bai's wife is a clever woman.

  Watching Xiao Jingchen eating happily, Bai Luochen felt very unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it. Suddenly, his eyes rolled around and he used the small bowl to cover his sly mouth while drinking soup. Taking advantage of everyone's attention on eating, he suddenly kicked Xiao Jingchen's foot under the table, trying to make her lose balance and hit the table in a big embarrassment. Unfortunately...

  Bai Luo Chen was still fuming, and when he first sat down, he hadn't even given a proper glance to the little Jie Cen opposite him. Now that the lower half of Jie Cen's body was blocked by the table, Bai Luo Chen had no idea that the little guy was squatting on his chair, and it was impossible for him to kick those two legs.

  Bai Luo Chen's left foot pressed against the ground with a slight force, his right foot kicked towards the opposite side. Before his toes touched the target, he would subconsciously send his lower body forward, so the force on his buttocks against the chair would be slightly empty. As a result, one kick was empty, and his center of gravity unstable, his butt immediately slid down from the chair... And thus, Bai Luo Chen met with tragedy!!

  "Bang——" With a loud noise, Bai Luo Chen knocked over the chair and fell to the ground, lying on his back with four limbs in the air like a turtle. As a result, his right foot kicked high and accidentally hit the bottom of the table, causing the plates and bowls on the table to clatter loudly. The dining hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned towards him.

  "Second Aunt Zhuo Mei's mouth twitched slightly, 'Xiao Luo, what are you doing?'"

  Bai Luochen turned his head to glance at the adults' somewhat eerie gazes, then glanced at his brothers' stifled smiles. His face instantly flushed red as he scrambled to get up, ferociously staring at the opposite side like a provoked wolf. However, in the next moment, the wolf seemed to be struck by lightning and became dumbfounded.

  All I saw was Xiaojing eating tofu with relish, her focused and professional demeanor making her look like a legendary foodie. The unexpected event that had just occurred seemed to be nothing more than a fleeting cloud in another dimension for her. Is there anything more suffocating, maddening, and painful in this world than "you hate her so much you grind your teeth, but she treats you as if you're air"?

  Bai Luochen suddenly felt like a total failure, like a self-absorbed clown jumping around, while others treated him as if he was nothing. Bai Luochen's heart turned cold and grey, devoid of interest, feeling that he would never love again (pffft)!

  He picked up his chair, sat down with his head bowed, and ate silently, not knowing if it was out of habit or not, but his eyes still involuntarily glanced at the opposite side.

  A small interlude passed, and the restaurant was bustling again. Xiao Jingchen was completely immersed in his own food world, unaffected by external influences. Even if Bai Luochen's gaze was ten times more ferocious, it made no difference to her.

  The world scolds me, cheats me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, belittles me, hates me, and deceives me. How should I deal with it?

  Just tolerate him, yield to him, give in to him, avoid him, endure him, respect him, don't bother with him, and wait a few more years, then you'll see what happens to him.

  Jing Chen said: I tolerate you, let you, follow you, avoid you, endure you, respect you, don't care about you. If you still don't change, I'll beat you to death!

  Can't help but say, in a certain aspect, Bai Luochen's shoes, you barely escaped with your life!

  Little Jing Xuan joined his hands together: Female donors, please give some recommendation tickets, and I'll send each of you a cute dimple!
