Chapter 7 She Just Doesn't Get Her

```

Lady Guan and the others had just overheard Qin Xiaoruo's words in the courtyard. Lady Guan, realizing that Qin Xiaoruo had boiled the porridge for them, did not reprimand her, while Lady Shao seldom expressed her opinion on family matters and always made herself invisible as usual.

Fu Hanwen glanced at the thin and shriveled Qin Xiaoruo, whose weight he wasn't even sure surpassed Jingwen's, and frowned slightly, "Let's eat, from now on dinners should be made on time."

Once Fu Hanwen had spoken, neither Lady Guan nor Lady Shao objected, but Fu Jingwen wanted to protest. However, she understood her eldest brother's temper all too well, and knew it would be futile to oppose him, so she glared at Qin Xiaoruo resentfully and took a seat at the table.

"Why are there only five bowls?" Fu Hanwen quickly noticed one was missing.

"I'm not hungry, I only made enough for you all," said Qin Xiaoruo. "You eat, I'll go back to my room."

After having porridge made from coarse grains for several days, she was nearly nauseated. She took fire starters from the kitchen, planning to roast some fish in her space later.

Qin Xiaoruo's wishful thinking was beautiful, yet Fu Hanwen utterly failed to understand her heart. He rose to give up his seat, "I'm not hungry, you have the porridge."

Hearing that Qin Xiaoruo hadn't made a portion for herself, Fu Jingwen's cheeks flushed with recognition that she had wrongfully blamed her. She quickly tried to make amends, "Brother, I'm not used to eating dinner. You do more work, so you should have the porridge."

"Let's give Brother Hanwen Changer's bowl instead. Changer doesn't eat much, and one bowl is enough for the two of us," Lady Shao felt compelled to speak up, pushing the bowl in front of Changer towards Fu Hanwen.

Sharing like Kong Rong giving away pears?

What a warm scene!

Qin Xiaoruo was nearly moved to tears.

But she really didn't want to drink that coarse grain porridge~~

"Let's leave it at that," Lady Guan smiled kindly at Qin Xiaoruo. "Xiao Ruo, come and have your porridge before it gets cold."

"Actually, I'm really not that hungry," Qin Xiaoruo protested, holding the bowl in her hands, making one last struggle.

How could she have room for roasted fish after such a large bowl of porridge?

"Good child, eat up," Lady Guan smiled knowingly, her eyes filled with an incomprehensible relief.

Seeing that Lady Shao's bowl had only half a portion of porridge left, Qin Xiaoruo quickly poured half of her own into it, "Changer is growing, he needs to eat more."

At her words, Lady Guan's smile deepened, and Fu Jingwen's hostility lessened, while Lady Shao gave her a grateful look.

Fu Hanwen gave her a glance but said nothing, bowing his head to eat his porridge.

The Fu Family had built the house according to their needs, with one room for Mother Fu, the three brothers each having their own room, as well as a room for Fu Jing and her siblings. There was no spare room for Qin Xiaoruo. Since she was not yet married to Hanwen, she couldn't stay in his room, and Jingwen refused to share with her, so Lady Guan had no choice but to give up her daughter's room to Qin Xiaoruo, which made things more convenient for her.

After returning to her room, Qin Xiaoruo dared not enter her space immediately. She waited until it was completely dark and the house had quieted down before shifting her thoughts.

As soon as she entered the space, Qin Xiaoruo ran merrily along the riverbank.

Although she was excited during the day, she dared not show it. Now that she was back in the space, she could no longer contain her emotions. She needed to vent.

No, wait!

Qin Xiaoruo quickly noticed the difference between the space and the outside world. It was dark outside, so why was it still bright and sunny in the space?

She looked up to see the sun still hanging in the sky.

Qin Xiaoruo realized that time within the space did not sync with the outside world. How much of a difference there was remained unknown, but right now, what she wanted most was to eat roasted fish.
