I don't like pretending

  I said irritably: "He's so good, you go with him to eat instant noodles. I'll go change my clothes."

  Unexpectedly, Xia Xiao ran into the kitchen in three steps and two steps.

  I waited until I changed my clothes and went downstairs, but what I smelled was the strong aroma of egg fried rice. Had Aunt Tianai come back? I excitedly ran into the kitchen to take a look, and my eyes almost popped out: the one stirring the pot was Guan Sha! He looked very professional as he stir-fried the rice, with each grain golden yellow and jumping happily in the oily pan. Finally, he sprinkled some scallions on top, and the aroma was so enticing that my tongue almost fell out.

  He was stir-frying while still explaining the key to cooking fried rice to Xia Xiaoyan!

  Xia Xiaoyao's face showed a look of chaotic worship.

  After stir-frying, he quickly scooped two large bowls of rice and handed one to Xia Xiaoyan, saying simply: "Eat."

  Xia Xiaoyao still had a bit of conscience and asked: "What's going on?"

  "Why doesn't she serve herself?" said Guan Sha, "You're a guest, I'll take care of you." "Thank you, thank you!" Xia Xiao's eyes narrowed into a line.

  I'll just help myself then! I won't be polite about it either, besides my stomach is growling with hunger, might as well eat since the food's free anyway!

  Then, the three of us sat on both sides of the dinner table and ate hastily. Xia Xiao praised Guan Sha non-stop: "Your stir-fried rice is really delicious."

  "It's been practiced since childhood," he said with pride, "otherwise I'd be starving every day."

  "He's gotten tougher." "I hit him."

  "Aren't you not talking to me?" he said, "I don't want to talk to you either."

  I was talking with Xia Xiao. I took a big gulp of water and said, "Don't be overly sentimental."

  Xia Xiaoyao burst out laughing: "You two are really funny, you can go perform a sketch!"

  "With him?" I said, "I'd rather die."

  "With her?" Gao Sha said, "I'd rather kill myself."

  "You all want to die so much?" Xia Xiaoyao said slyly, "Why don't we have a fierce battle, and I'll be the judge!"

  Now it's my turn and Guan Sha's to stare at her with wide eyes.

  She said with a wronged tone: "Look, at critical moments, it's still a family that stands together against the enemy, huh?"

  After Xiaoxiao left, I thought that Gu Sha's attitude towards other girls seemed to be different from his attitude towards me. As for what the difference was, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. However, the fried rice he cooked was indeed not bad, and in this regard, he was more capable than me.

  As I thought, I opened the door to the study and found that Guan Sha was already inside. Hearing my voice, he said without turning his head: "Don't think about letting me go today, they're all not at home, you'd better not provoke me, or I'll kill you."

  "Oh yeah? I said with a hint of provocation. "You dare touch a single hair on me?"

  He suddenly said: "Let's just forget about what happened last time, I won't hold it against you."

  What's wrong with him? This guy is really interesting.

  But I really don't want to care about it anymore, forget it, it's over.

  "Tonight I'll let you. I said, "But I have a request, from now on in front of them, we should pretend to be more proper, I don't want them to be unhappy because of us."

  "Who are they?" He asked with feigned ignorance.

  "It's my dad and your mom!" I replied clearly to him.

  I don't like pretending and I'm not as good at it as you are.

  He replied to me, "I have no way of cooperating with you."
