Ch70 - Ting Ting?

By the time Zhu Xia and Zhou Ming returned to the box, Li Zhao had fallen asleep on Yan Ting. Zhou Ming saw the two people snuggling with each other and was embarrassed to watch. He sat in the corner and pretended to play with his phone.

Zhu Xia was ready to speak when Yan Ting raised an index finger to his mouth. “Shh, speak in a whisper.” 

Zhu Xia and Zhou Ming, who also stayed up all night, “…”

Zhu Xia sat silently on a chair and pretended she didn’t exist. There were exquisite dishes on the table but no one moved to eat them.

“You eat first,” Yan Ting whispered, “You don’t have to wait for Zhao Zhao.”

Zhu Xia and Zhou Ming were really hungry so there was no fake politeness. They picked up the chopsticks and grabbed at the dishes. Both of them were pragmatic and eating quickly wouldn’t make them feel ugly. 

This stemmed from their education at the welfare home. Their teachers taught their polite eating postures and how to become useful people in society. There weren’t many healthy children like them in the welfare home because most of them had already been adopted. Several of them had been sent to the welfare home from before they could remember and didn’t want to go to strange families.

There were several dishes that Zhou Ming and Zhu Xia didn’t touch. Although they didn’t say anything, Yan Ting knew they had left them for Li Zhao.

After eating, Zhu Xia saw Li Zhao move twice. Then Yan Ting reached out in an extremely natural manner to pat his back gently, as if coaxing a child who couldn’t sleep. Soon, Li Zhao’s entire body leaned on Yan Ting’s lap. Yan Ting took off his suit jacket and covered him.

Zhou Ming had always felt awkward in his heart. This Yan Ting looked rich and had connections. He was several years older than their Zhao Zhao and Zhou Ming was worried that Yan Ting was cheating Li Zhao’s feelings.

Now watching Yan Ting’s every move, he gradually saw that Yan Ting was sincere to Zhao Zhao. However, he was afraid and didn’t want Zhao Zhao to face rumours at a young age. He had a different vision of the world.

The room was very quiet. Zhou Ming didn’t know how to speak and Zhu Xia didn’t dare to speak. Yan Ting’s attention was all on Li Zhao and he had no intention of speaking. It wasn’t until there was a knock on the door that the silence inside was broken.

Yan Ting subconsciously wanted to reach out and cover Li Zhao’s ears but Li Zhao woke up first. On the past two years of running around crews, Li Zhao had developed the habit of waking up immediately in case of trouble.

“I’m so sleepy.” He lay on Yan Ting’s lap. Then he remembered what Yan Ting had said to him before falling asleep and his mood suddenly brightened. 

Zhu Xia glanced at Yan Ting before smiling at Li Zhao. “You’re finally awake. Have something to eat.”

The door opened and Chen Xiaojun in a suit and tie led the beautiful bride inside, sighing with relief. “We have greeted all the guests so I came here with Lin Lin to grab something to eat.”

On the wedding day, the bride and groom were the busiest and most tired people. It was only after sending away the guests that they had time to eat.
