The girl lowered her head and stammered, "Auntie, I haven't thought that much about it yet..."

If the auntie found out that the person she likes is her son, who knows what might happen.

Just thinking about it makes me feel excited and nervous.

Her little face couldn't help but turn even redder.

Seeing her face slightly flushed, Xiao Ran naturally knew that she was shy, so he picked up a piece of fish and put it in Yan Xici's bowl.

Eat well.

After saying that, he glanced at his mother again.

"You're meddling in too much of my business. Xici is still young, what's the rush? It's not too late after she graduates!"

Why look for a boyfriend so early? There are so many scumbags these days, what if you get scammed?

Upon hearing this, the girl next to him looked at Xiao Ran gratefully.

As expected, Xiao Ran really understands me the best!

If he weren't there, you'd be so embarrassed!

Qiu Yuru didn't understand her son's words at all.

She took a bite of rice and continued, "Xi Ci should be 20 years old this year. You were only eighteen when you started dating Yan Li, right?"

It is said that men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age.

He was just asking a question, and it's understandable that the girl was shy, but why was he so nervous?

Besides, I was just saying it casually.

After all, we haven't met much before, so we need to communicate more to get to know each other.

Xiao Ran smiled helplessly, then picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mother's bowl.

"You should eat more too."

If you eat more, you'll talk less.

I have to say, the girl's cooking was really delicious.

The three of them finished their meal in no time.

The fish on the table was reduced to a skeleton; not a single bit was wasted.

Even the fish head was eaten by Xiao Ran!

After finishing his meal, he looked at Yan Xici with a satisfied expression and said, "You did a really good job. Your cooking is getting better and better!"

Hearing Xiao Ran's praise, the girl instantly felt happy and smiled sweetly and brightly.

"As long as Brother Xiaoran likes it, I will definitely make it even better!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuru, who had just put down her chopsticks, was taken aback.

The girl seems to be a little too nice to Xiao Ran!

How should I put it? It's kind of like a romantic relationship.

However, it's possible that she genuinely sees Xiao Ran as an older brother.

She wasn't quite sure about that.

After all, it's only been one meal, so I don't really know their way of getting along.

The girl clearly realized that she had spoken too quickly.

Feeling guilty, he stole a glance at Qiu Yuru across from him.

If my aunt finds out that I have ulterior motives towards Xiao Ran, I'll be so embarrassed!

The more I think about it, the more nervous I become.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her small hands together, looking somewhat restrained.

Fortunately, Qiu Yuru didn't say anything.

Instead, he stood up with a smile.

They started clearing the table of dishes, since the girl had been busy all afternoon.

She felt really bad leaving her to continue working alone.

Yan Xici felt embarrassed and quickly got up to stop her.

"Auntie, it's okay, I can handle it."

After saying that, she took the bowl and plate from the aunt's hands with her fair little hands.

Then they quickly tidied up.

Although Yan Xici was a novice at the job, she was very efficient.

It might also be related to her meticulousness; she does everything in a proper and efficient manner, without being fussy or indecisive.

Looking at the girl's capable demeanor, Qiu Yuru's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

"Xi Ci, let Auntie do it. You've had a long day. Auntie can handle this little bit of work."

After saying that, he followed into the kitchen and began to clean the stove.

Seeing that her aunt had started working, the girl quickly reached out to help her.

"It's alright, Auntie, I'll take care of it. You just arrived today, why don't you let Brother Xiao Ran take you out for a walk?"

After all, Auntie only arrived today, and she felt that Brother Xiaoran should help Auntie get familiar with the environment.

"No rush, I'll finish cleaning up with you, then I'll go with him!" the aunt said, continuing to wipe the stove with a rag.

Fortunately, there wasn't much work, and it was all done in ten minutes.

Xiao Ran knew that his mother must have a lot to say to him today.

He tactfully looked at his mother, who had just finished her work.

"Mom, let's go. I'll show you around the neighborhood, like a walk after dinner. We can also go to the supermarket to buy you some bed sheets later!"

My mom came in a rush and didn't prepare anything, but since we had some time, he went shopping with her.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuru rolled her eyes at him.

"By the time you remember, Xiaoxi has already prepared it for me!"

Boys are just not as considerate as girls!

It's such a pity I didn't have a daughter back then.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran looked at the girl in surprise.

When did you buy it?

Unexpectedly, the girl was so thoughtful.

I've already bought everything my mom needs.

The girl standing in the kitchen smiled shyly, her eyes shining with earnestness and sincerity.

"I happened to have nothing to do this afternoon, so I went to the supermarket to buy some things for my aunt. I don't really know how to buy things, so I just picked them randomly. I hope my aunt won't mind."

She wasn't just picking things randomly; she was so careful, afraid that her aunt wouldn't like them, that she was practically blinding herself when choosing them!

I said that just to avoid putting pressure on my aunt.

She's not actually the kind of girl who's very good at expressing her feelings.
