When it was time to eat, the brothers had already cleaned up the dining table and prepared everything.

Lu An brought the dishes to the table.

It was just some simple home-cooked dishes, such as stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, sour and spicy lotus root dumplings, and a hot pot for the other carp. On the side were also some vegetables and tofu which were already washed and ready for the hot pot.

The carp was crispy and garnished with tender green garlic shoots and coriander. The jelly-like broth looked amazing and delicious!

Lu An carefully ladled out some for Grandpa before telling everyone to help themselves.

It was the same square table.

Of course, Grandpa sat in the middle on one side.

However, Lu An and Qi Yan sat on each of his sides.

Lu An sat on the left side, which was closer to the kitchen, while Qi Yan sat on the other side.

Going clockwise after Lu An was Ling Chuan, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother.

There were two spots next to Qi Yan. If Ergou was added, then it was just one spot.

However, little Fifth Brother was very unwilling to sit next to Qi Yan.

He got up a few times with little Ergou in his arms and wanted to squeeze with the others, but was stopped by Big Brother’s gaze.

Left with no choice, little No. 5 could only obediently go and sit down with an aggrieved expression.

Carrying little Ergou, he kept shifting to the side a little, a little, and a little more.

He was practically about to drop to the floor.

It was clearly two empty spots, but it looked like there was an entire galaxy between him and Qi Yan.

Qi Yan was so embarrassed that her toes twitched. She didn’t understand why they were still treating her like an outcast. Hadn’t they already seen her messages?

Qi Yan gritted her teeth and tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, though she wanted nothing more than to bury herself in a hole.

On the other side, Lu An was dumbfounded. “What’s going on? Is that seat cursed?”

Lu An pointed at the empty seat next to Qi Yan and glanced at a certain little fifth brother, who refused to sit there.

Everyone fell silent. The brothers changed the topic, and Qi Yan instantly became even more furious. She gritted her teeth.

Lu An had already gotten up. “Then, I’ll sit there. In any case, the dishes have already been served.”

Lu An was sitting in the seat which Ling Chuan had specially reserved for her.

As she spoke, Lu An got up and walked around to sit next to Qi Yan.

Seeing this, a certain little fifth brother immediately drew closer. His handsome face was tense as he glared fiercely at his stinky brothers.

It was as if he was saying: You abandoned me, so I’ll sit with Little Sister. Hmph!

The brothers couldn’t be bothered with him, and started pressuring Ling Chuan.

Little Sister is already sitting there. Shouldn’t you move forward too?

A certain big brother gestured with a cold gaze.

Unexpectedly, a certain person didn’t move at all, as if he was a statue that had grown roots. His serious face was completely solemn as he sat directly opposite Lu An.

Big Brother Lu Boran gritted his teeth and exerted force, wanting to squeeze a certain person to the side. In the end —

A certain person suddenly got up, then strode over to little Fifth Brother with lightning speed.

Then, a certain big brother, who had no choice but to sit opposite Qi Yan: “…”
