Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 248 Nothing Is Normal

While Mu Zhi was helping everyone to her homemade sushi, she gabbled with her mouth full of a concoction of sushi rice, seaweed, and lamb, “I can’t remember who exactly.”

“I vaguely remember that my mother would always bring me to buy a box of sushi whenever we have a barbecue at home.”

Mu Zhi was not born in a well-off family.

Mom rarely brought her to any barbecues. Mu Zhi used to think that mom paired sushi with barbecue as a method of saving money.

A box of sushi used to cost only six bucks from the street vendors. Mu Zhi would be stuffed by the time she scoffed half a box it.

However, six bucks would only get them three lamb skewers. She wouldn’t be filled with just lamb.

Thus, sushi acted as a filler in the meal.

Mu Zhi used to be upset about it.

But since her mother’s condition, she had not had the chance to have lamb skewer with mom anymore. She found herself craving for lamb skewers with sushi like mom would do.

Master Lu sized up Mu Zhi with knitted eyebrows.

It took him a long time before turning his face away and said, “It tastes nice.”

“I’m tired, I need some rest now.”

Master Lu suddenly stood up and headed into the house with the help of his walking stick.

He left Mu Zhi standing still on the same spot. Did I say something wrong? She wondered to herself.

“Is Master Lu not fond of sushi?”

That can’t be the reason… However, it was clear that Master Lu did not eat much.

Mu Zhi threw a suspicious look at Lu Jinye while he casually approached her, put an arm over her shoulders, and then brought her to her seat. “Okay now, let us enjoy the food. Look at the charming moonbeam. Don’t let it go to waste.”

“Cough cough.”
