Chapter 376: 375: Marital Fun (5)

Bo Yan’s chopsticks reached for the green vegetables, and she pointed at the green vegetables. When Bo Yan’s chopsticks moved to the spicy fried oxtail, she also got to the oxtail first. Every time Bo Yan was about to pick up some food, she would beat him to it and snatch it away.

After several instances, everyone at the table took notice. It seemed Xia Siyu was particularly targeting him, expressing significant dissatisfaction with him, wanting to compete with him for everything.

Bo Yi glanced at Xia Sicai, who did not speak. Bo Qiliu and Mrs. Shen, his parents, were also a bit curious. At the head of the table, the Bo family patriarch was eating with his head down, unaware whether he had seen the situation or not; he acted as if he were oblivious. However, the grandmother’s expression was slightly worried. She looked at Xia Siyu, then at Bo Yan, and still, she said nothing.

Bo Yan had, of course, noticed much earlier. Deliberately, he directed his attention towards high-protein food such as scallops and shrimp tails, which could help one recover after “the act”, and Xia Siyu also “rushed” to eat them. He even asked the servants, “What soup do we have today?”

Upon learning it was red date chicken soup, he nodded, “Serve me a bowl.”

No surprise, as soon as the bowl was placed, Xia Siyu, who still had her mouth bulging with scallops, hardly chewed before she hurriedly swallowed and then spoke up, “I want one too!”

The servant was a bit troubled, but a glance from Bo Yan meant to serve her as well.

Xia Siyu always enjoyed her meals, and it seemed even tastier competing with Bo Yan. The meal was quickly finished, and Bo Yan even asked, “Do we have oysters and chives? We could prepare them in the afternoon, I feel like having some.”

Following the spirit of outdoing Bo Yan, Xia Siyu immediately said, “Make them for me first!”

The servant nodded, “We can go buy some.”

Bo Yi scoffed, “What’s the matter? Is your body in poor condition that you need to replenish?” He glanced at Xia Siyu, at her charming face and good figure, and thought, alright, having such a wife indeed calls for extra nourishment.

Bo Yan spoke earnestly, “It’s not for me, it’s for her.”

He glanced quickly at Xia Siyu, who was still sipping tea to aid her digestion, then added, “She was quite exhausted last night. Eat more and take good care of your body.”

It finally dawned on Xia Siyu as she remembered the kind of food Bo Yan had “allowed” her to eat, along with oysters and chives. The tea in her mouth almost spurted out.

After drinking tea, she was still feeling very full. On the other side, Bo Yi was already inviting Xia Sicai, “Shall we take a walk?”

On this side, Bo Yan also looked at Xia Siyu, “Do you want to walk?”

Xia Siyu was not inclined to agree; she didn’t hold out her hand to him at all.

Bo Yan’s face lit up with faux surprise, “You want to rest with me? We just had quite a lot of scallops and lobster and drank chicken soup; I’m a bit dizzy indeed. Going to sleep would be good.”

He purposefully emphasized the word “sleep.”

Xia Siyu shuddered, knowing all too well what Bo Yan was thinking. Going back to sleep meant only she would be “slept.” Furthermore, Bo Yan had just said that after eating scallops and lobster and drinking chicken soup, he was already nourished!

She quickly said, “Let’s forget it, as learning is boundless. I’ll go to the study to read.”

Bo Yan nodded, “You can do that. I’ve been away from school for many years and haven’t read for a long time.”

Xia Siyu was furious, “Why do you always copy me?”

Bo Yan’s gaze was steady as he looked at her, “Copy you? It’s just that we happen to have the same goal. Otherwise, shall we go for a walk together or go to sleep? I prefer taking a nap, actually.”
