Chapter 897 This Girl Really Made Him Feel Distressed
Xia Anlan had seen too many rich daughters and celebrities eating. They were all very elegant and ate very little, as if eating more would affect their image. None of them dared to eat so freely in front of him like Yan Qingsi. Just as she said, she was not picky about food, as long as she was full.
She ate with big mouthfuls, and wanted to eat everything very deliciously.
Yan Qingsi felt something was wrong after eating for a while. She raised her head and saw Xia Anlan looking at her. The look made her feel a little uncomfortable. She swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Why... don't you eat?"
Xia Anlan smiled: "I'm not too hungry. You just woke up today and can't eat too much. And you have a bad stomach. Just eat 80% or 90% full. Too much... may cause indigestion."
Yan Qingsi said, "Oh," she wrinkled her nose. How much is 80% or 90% full?
She could probably only distinguish between hunger and fullness. Yan Qingsi took two more bites and then put down her chopsticks.
"Have you finished eating?"
Yan Qingsi looked at the rice in the bowl and said, "Didn't you say that 80% or 90% full is enough?"
Xia Anlan smiled: "Do you feel enough now?"
Yan Qingsi licked the corner of her mouth: "Hungry."
Xia Anlan picked up a piece of bamboo shoot for her: "Eat more, this is too little."
Yan Qingsi touched her stomach, struggled for a while, and picked up the chopsticks again.
Xia Anlan saw Yan Qingsi eating again and continued to look at her.
She was just a 25-year-old girl. If she hadn't experienced those things, she should have had a complete and happy childhood like other girls of the same age, and then went to high school and college to enjoy a life without regrets.
Xia Anlan looked at the news about Yan Qingsi on the Internet. A lot of it was negative, including black material, scandals, sleeping with her, hidden rules, beatings, and all kinds of things.
If someone who has never seen her only reads the news on the Internet, he will think that this girl is simply a bad woman and a scumbag. She has been deliberately distorted and demonized by those who make news.
When people see her, Xia Anlan feels that this girl is actually... very simple.
After she knew his identity, she was just shocked, puzzled, and doubtful, but she never showed any intention of clinging to him. She even wanted to stay away from him for fear of being misunderstood by him.
This girl really made him feel distressed.
Just as she said, it's good to be alive. She may have never asked for anything. What she wanted was probably to live well and be a little happier, but... this didn't seem so easy for her.
From Xia Anlan's perspective, he could see the marks on Yan Qingsi's neck from being strangled. It was already bruised and purple. The situation was too dangerous at the time. If she was rescued from the water a second later, she might have closed her eyes forever.
Xia Anlan's hand holding the chopsticks tightened little by little, and his eyes became cold.
Yan Qingsi put down her chopsticks after finishing the last bite. When she looked up, she saw Xia Anlan was still looking at her, and he didn't move his chopsticks.
Yan Qingsi suddenly felt very embarrassed. Could it be that her poor eating manners scared this adult?
She said awkwardly: "Sorry, I... can eat a little faster..."
Xia Anlan said softly: "It's okay, it's good for you to do this, you can eat more in two days..."
Yan Qingsi always felt that Xia Anlan would deliberately lower his voice when talking to her, as if he was afraid of scaring her. She actually wanted to say, don't do this.
