“It is very late now, why are you still here?” I gently broke away from Dongfang Lianren’s hug, frowned, and looked at the girl. She was currently wearing Chu Yuan’s apron. What is going on?
Dongfang Lianren clearly knew that I didn’t like her, but she simply smiled, “Elder Brother Nan, are you still angry with me?”
I stood at the door and changed my shoes to slippers, and said hypocritically, “no, how can I be angry with kids? Hehe… Hehe,” I laughed awkwardly.
Dongfang Lianren squatted down, and unexpectedly put the leather shoes I took off in the shoe cabinet for me. She then raised her head, showing a sad expression, “I know you don’t want to admit that. In your heart, you definitely don’t like me.”
You damn right, if I almost killed you, would you forgive me?
Although I didn’t like her, I still pulled her up like a gentleman. In fact, the weapon that women could use to deal with men was not only tears. Although I clearly knew that this stinky girl was pretentious, I still felt that it would be inappropriate to bully her too much, or… I should say that I wasn’t willing to be forced to bully her by her.
This bratty girl even used this kind of method to make me forgive her. There was no way I would like her.
“I have already forgiven you. After all, you are Yuanyuan’s friend.” when it came to an outsider like her, who was close to Chu Yuan, I should pay more attention to maintaining the image of a good brother, which would be much more effective than directly pleasing Chu Yuan, “but, don’t do it next time. I don’t like that kind of prank.”
Overjoyed, Dongfang brat held my hand, nodded and then smiled, “in the name of chairman Mao, I promise that there will be absolutely no next time!”
I smiled noncommittally. Only a fool would believe her when she said that. At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly jumped out of the room. She just happened to see me and Dongfang brat hold hands intimately…
Chu Yuan’s big eyes stared at the hands we held together, and the small face that was originally full of excitement suddenly became cold, “Elder Brother, Dongfang, you…”
God Dammnit, I fell into her trap again. I wanted to get rid of Dongfang Lianren’s hand, but like the first time we met, she still held my hand tightly. Although people often say that once bitten twice shy, but I still fell into her trap like a fool.
Seeing a flash of cunning appapered in Dongfang’s big eyes, I quickly explained: “Yuanyuan, I can explain…”
“I’m sorry, Yuanyuan,” instead of letting go of my hand, half of Dongfang’s body was pressed against me. “I heard Elder Brother Nan is willing to forgive me, so I’m so happy that I can’t help it… You are not jealous of me holding Elder Brother Nan’s hand, are you?”
Huh? I couldn’t help but be dazed. What is she planning to do this time? Why is she not lying?
“Bah!” Chu Yuan’s face was red, “it’s not my business who he likes to hold hands with.”
Although she said that, Chu Yuan still came over to take the briefcase in my hand, and then cleverly separated me from Dongfang. After all, when she saw that her classmate and her brother were too intimate, she still felt awkward, “why is it so heavy?”
“Oh, there are some files in it,” I walked into the living room, then I was dumbfounded by what I saw. The dinner table was already filled with food, and there was even a red candle, which was already lit. “Yuanyuan, this is…”
Chu Yuan walked to the table with Dongfang Lianren and smiled: “Dongfang insists on apologizing to you for what she did yesterday, so she cooked a delicious meal for you personally, elder brother, Dongfang’s cooking is much better than me.”
How times have changed… It was already amazing enough that Yuanyuan could cook, but I didn’t expect Dongfang, who came from a rich family, also knew how to cook. Looking at the dishes on the table again, none of them were originally family dishes, they were all seafood!
As if Chu Yuan liked to show off. She introduced the dishes on the table to me one by one, “This is braised Alaska Snow Crab, Alaska Black Cod Fillet with Salt and Pepper, Onion Salmon, Scallion Roasted Sea Cucumber, Oily Shrimp, There is also a steamed abalone in the kitchen.”
Dongfang Lianren scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled modestly, “The kitchen materials are not very complete, and I don’t have time to do too much preparation, so I just made do with it, I hope you don’t mind it Elder Brother Nan.”
Make do with it? And you were still able to make this kind of meal? Wait, wait… Let’s not talk about how you little girls can make seafood dishes. These materials were not easily available on the market, right? I was so dumbfounded, I just thought the things on the table were so unrealistic, “You bought these seafood?”
“No, I asked the servant at my home to send me,” Dongfang Lianren rolled her eyes at me like I was an idiot and smiled: “I and Yuanyuan came here directly after school. How would I have time to buy those?”
This was not a matter of time! I found that the logical thinking of me and this girl was fundamentally different, “Does your family open a seafood market?”
Dongfang Lianren thought about it seriously, and them vaguely said: “It seems like it…”
What do you mean by seems like it! Just as I was about to ask more questions, I heard a coquettish voice from Chu Yuan’s room. It was so sweet that it made the bones soft and my knees give up standing.
“Yuanyuan, is your brother back?”
Upon hearing the voice, I knew who that voice belonged to. In the entire Bei Tian City, there was only one person having this kind of voice, and that person was Xiao Yike!
As expected, the petite girl walked out of Chu Yuan’s room with a grin. As soon as I saw her, my heart suddenly jumped to my throat, and I almost blurted out and asked her why she came to my place? Fortunately, I held the question back in time.
“Sister Booby, this is my elder brother Chu Nan.” Of course Chu Yuan knew that I “know” Xiao Yike. While introducing her to me, she winked at me, “Elder Brother, she is my friend, Xiao Yike.”
No wonder Chu Yuan said it was difficult to explain to me over the phone. The so-called guests were Dongfang and Yike. My back was already soaked with sweat. My dear little sister, you really know how to give your elder brother headaches…
My heart was beating like a snare drum. If Chu Yuan knew that Xiao Yike and I have known each other for a long time, she would definitely kill me. I couldn’t help but complain secretly inside my mind, why does Xiao Yike this little brat want to come to my place?
But the bratty girl’s acting skill also shouldn’t be underestimated. The nervous look that someone would have when they meet their friends’ family members clearly showed on her face. If I hadn’t known that she was the Xiao Yike I knew, I would have thought that she was someone else.
“Hello, unc… ouch~”
As soon as she opened her mouth, my heart almost jumped out. I quickly grabbed her hand and shook her hand to stop her. I was sure that if I hadn’t stopped her, she would have definitely called me uncle. “Hello, booby, right?”
“Hello, Unc- I mean, elder brother, you can just call me Yike.” This bratty girl deliberately tickled my palm with her finger with a trace of smirk flashed on her face. Obviously, she thought that this game was very exciting and interesting.
But I didn’t think that it was funny at all. The way she called me elder brother was very awkward. I didn’t know if it was me, who had gotten used to hearing her call me uncle, but I was so scared that the other two would also be able to hear the strangeness in her tone.
“Elder Brother, Sister Booby is here to help me connect the network cable,” in front of outsiders, Chu Yuan was a little closer to me than usual. She pushed me towards the bathroom, urging me like a little housewife, “Go and wash our hands, so we can start eating.”
“Oh, right, the abalone is almost ready. I’ll go get it.” The smile on Dongfang Lianren’s face was very sweet, but I clearly saw that before she walked into the kitchen, she glanced back at Xiao Yike, who was looking at me. Those cold eyes made my heart tremble. Only for a moment, I feel like her face was very cold as if it was covered with a layer of frost and a layer of… jealousy?!
Oh no, it seems like it will not be a peaceful meal…
After I washed my hands and came out, only Dongfang Lianren was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
“Where are they?”
Dongfang Liren smiled sweetly, and then pouted her lips toward Chu Yuan’s room, “Inside, they said that there are some small problems to be dealt with. They asked us to wait.”
Dongfang said it with a natural tone, but there was a clear chill in her eyes. This look reminded me of the scene when I first met her…
