Halfway through the meal, after peeling a full bowl of shrimp for Chu Yao, Lu Xize got up and went to the restroom.
His figure had just disappeared from the private room's doorway when Lu Ziqian, sitting across from Chu Yao, immediately leaned forward. His round eyes stared unblinkingly at her. "Sister-in-law, Auntie said you and my brother grew up together. I still don't know what my brother was like when he was little. C'mon, tell me about it."
Lu Ziqian's eyes grew impossibly bright, his face practically screaming for gossip. Chu Yao, who had just popped a shrimp into her mouth, was so taken aback by his words that she forgot to chew. She stared at Lu Ziqian blankly for two seconds before finally swallowing the shrimp.
"He... when he was little... was pretty nice."
