Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!-Chapter 367: Eating Together

"Yes," Tong Mo said while stirring the eggs and tomatoes in the pan, "Ever since I was little, my mom became a vegetable, and my dad would bring home other women. She was terrible, practically never giving me a chance to join them for meals. Every time, I took the opportunity when she wasn’t looking to sneak into the kitchen and cook for myself. That’s how I learned to cook..."

As she talked, Tong Mo’s vision blurred with tears.

She had never even told Mengmeng about these sour past experiences, as she didn’t want Mengmeng to think less of her, although she knew Mengmeng wasn’t like that. But she really didn’t want to speak of these humiliating matters.

But today, she couldn’t help wanting to share everything with him and have a heart-to-heart talk.

Zhuo Wen listened quietly as his student recounted her experiences, feeling a rush of mixed emotions.

Although he had never said it, the truth was that Tong Mo was the student who had made the deepest impression on him. When he first became a homeroom teacher at the start of their first year of high school, he lacked the authority to manage the class, and it was she who had spoken out for him.

She was warm, cheerful, like the sun lighting up a corner of the sky.

If she hadn’t disclosed her turbulent family background today, he would have thought she was a Little Princess living in a happy and wealthy family.

Loved by her parents, cared for by friends...

But he hadn’t expected her life to be so tragic.

"It’s okay, all hardships will pass," Zhuo Wen, a math teacher, wanted to say more caring words, but he only managed these few.

But for Tong Mo, these words were enough to comfort her.

"I know!"

Tong Mo nodded vigorously.

Hardships will indeed pass, because he was there, because Mengmeng and the others were there!

Tong Mo turned off the stove, "The food is ready, Teacher, you go wash your hands first, I’ll serve the dishes."

"I just washed them, let me do it." Zhuo Wen was about to take the spatula from her hand but saw the girl step back and lift the spatula high, "No way, you are currently a disabled person, it’s better I do it!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

"Alright..."

Zhuo Wen gave a resigned smile, stopped arguing, and walked to the dining table to wait for her to serve the food.

After waving her arms a couple of times, Tong Mo placed the fried rice into clean white plates.

After setting them on the table, she also served a bowl of freshly cooked porridge and handed him the chopsticks.

"Teacher, eat up before it gets cold!"

Tong Mo sat on the other side, propping her chin with her hand, prompting him like a little housewife.

The warm kitchen light fell on her cheeks, her smile genuine and eyes filled with concern, giving Zhuo Wen the illusion of a wife urging her husband.

No sooner had this thought surfaced than Zhuo Wen felt as if struck by lightning, and he quickly shook his head.

Damn, he was really losing it!

Zhuo Wen lowered his head, chagrined, thinking it was time his parents set him up on some matchmaking dates.

"Teacher, what’s wrong?" Tong Mo, seeing his distressed expression, couldn’t help feeling nervous and guessed, "Is it the food I made not tasty?"

"No, no..." Zhuo Wen, looking at the girl’s tearful face, quickly shook his head, "I was just thinking about something."

"What were you thinking about?" Tong Mo immediately became curious.

"Uh..." Zhuo Wen hadn’t expected her to press him, and now he felt both awkward and embarrassed.

How could he tell her that he had almost seen her as a wife?

Of course, he couldn’t say that!

So Zhuo Wen smoothly changed the subject, "It’s nothing, by the way, aren’t you hungry, let’s eat together after you serve the food!"
