Bab 47: Feng-Feng
"Wait... let me finish cooking first! Then, we can talk while eating," Feng Xiao Qing said. She almost forgot that she was shimmering chicken and sweet corn soup --- Xiao Xi Xi's favorite. "All of you should wash your hands first! It will be ready in a minute."
Lin San was going to wash his hands when Lu Yi Feng asked him, "What are you doing?"
"Er... wash my hands, Boss?" Lin San asked, not knowing what was wrong.
"Did I say you can eat with us?" Lu Yi Feng asked while raising one of his eyebrows. Xiao Xi Xi was busy chatting with Feng Xiao Qing, so they didn't notice Lin San and Lu Yi Feng's exchange.
Lin San was speechless. Why suddenly Boss became so stingy? They usually ate together! He felt like crying because he really wanted to taste Feng Xiao Qing's signature dishes! "But, Boss..." Lin San whined.
Lu Yi Feng only stared at him without saying anything. Lin San sighed in defeat. "Okay... then..." Lin San slumped down into the chair, feeling sad. He stood up and said, "I will go home first, Boss."
Feng Xiao Qing heard what Lin San said and asked, "Why don't you stay? We can eat together. I make a lot anyway."
Lin San's eyes lit up, but after seeing the dark look on Lu Yi Feng's face... he could only swallow the 'yes' word. He answered Feng Xiao Qing, "I'm sorry, but I have another matter to attend to." Lin San grumbled inwardly, 'The other matter is eating dinner on his own. Stingy Boss!' Lin San looked at the delicious foods bitterly, but his boss was scarier, so his choice was obvious. Lin San said goodbye to the food that he wasn't able to taste.
"Ah... okay..." Feng Xiao Qing could only agree and let Lin San go. Lu Yi Feng felt satisfied with Lin San's understanding. He didn't know why but he wanted to enjoy this moment only between the three of them --- probably he wanted to understand the feeling of having a happy family. In his mind, Lin San's presence would ruin the moment. He only had a few days with them, so he should take advantage of this moment to the max.
Lu Yi Feng washed his hand and waited patiently. He only watched the way both mother-daughter interacted animatedly in front of him. Feng Xiao Qing brought the foods to the table and Xiao Xi Xi helped her brought the smaller plates. Feng Xiao Qing beamed at him, "It's ready, Boss! Where do you put the smaller plates and bowls?"
"Second drawer from the left. Beside that drawer, you can find forks, spoons, and chopsticks there," Lu Yi Feng told her where he put them. Even though he rarely ate at home, he remembered where he put everything.
After everything was ready, they sat together. Xiao Xi Xi showed her new rabbit doll to Feng Xiao Qing and she was quite surprised by Xiao Xi Xi's choice of doll. Feng Xiao Qing asked in disbelief, "Why did you pick such a solemn doll?"
Lu Yi Feng, "..."
Xiao Xi Xi laughed and asked, "Mommy, don't you think this rabbit reminds you of someone?"
"A person who has permanent frown like this rabbit? Hmm... Indeed... it looks like..." Her gaze landed on Lu Yi Feng and she gulped. What did she say just now? Solemn? Permanent frown? She felt like banging her head on the table. The man was right in front of her! How could she forget who this rabbit looked like with?!
"Ah... Boss! This doll is so handsome --- just like you!" Feng Xiao Qing quickly flattered the Big Buddha!
Lu Yi Feng, "..." Her words sounded so fake to his ears. His mouth twitched for a little bit.
Feng Xiao Qing quickly changed the conversation, "What's the rabbit's name?"
"Because it looks like Uncle Yi Feng, I will call him Feng-Feng," Xiao Xi Xi happily said.
Lu Yi Feng and Feng Xiao Qing were speechless. Feng-Feng? It sounded so ridiculous to them. How could they differentiate whom she called? Lu Yi Feng or Feng-Feng? Feng Xiao Qing choked back her laughter, making Lu Yi Feng glare at her. She quickly pretended to cough, but her twinkling eyes couldn't hide her amusement. Feng-Feng? It sounded so cute in her ears!
"Uncle... why do you look unhappy? You don't like the name?" Xiao Xi Xi asked sadly. She thought a long time, before settling with Feng-Feng. Xiao Xi Xi thought Uncle would be happy, but it seemed like... he didn't.
Her sadness made Lu Yi Feng feel an arrow shot his heart. Tsk! Lu Yi Feng started to feel like something was wrong with him. He usually would tell other people directly if he didn't like something, but why he couldn't do that to Xiao Xi Xi? He really needed to talk to Tang Yi Jun about this!
Feng Xiao Qing took a peek at Lu Yi Feng's reaction. She knew that he didn't like that name, judging from his scowl. However, he seemed to struggle with himself. She was quite surprised when he said that he liked it with an emotionless face. Feng Xiao Qing started to realize that this man... actually wasn't that bad.
