"Why are you all standing here?" Cen Xia walked in first, followed by a servant pushing a cart. She smiled and took Cheng Ye's hand, her face slightly changed. "Your hands are cold. Come in quickly." Halfway through, she noticed Qin Su standing not far away with a strange look on his face. She asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Cheng Ye shook his head repeatedly: "Nothing, nothing!"

Cen Xia didn't believe it and looked at Qin Su.

Cheng Ye quickly turned her head, her big watery eyes and pleading eyes fell on Qin Su, motioning him not to say anything, and shook her head slightly.

It seemed that whenever he opened his mouth, he was not criticizing Su Bairui, but bullying Cheng Ye.

Qin Su opened his mouth, but finally shook his head under Cheng Ye's earnest gaze: "It's okay, let's eat."

"Yes, yes, Ye Zi, you must be hungry." Cen Xia quickly directed the setting of the food and pulled Cheng Ye to sit. "You ate some biscuits at noon and went to sleep. I called you but you didn't respond, so I didn't force you to wake me."

Cen Xia didn't think much about this interruption. When Cheng Ye was pulled in by her and passed by Qin Su, she smiled at him gratefully. Qin Su was about to step forward but stopped and followed.

Cen Xia patted Cheng Ye's hand and said, "You two haven't seen each other for many years. I remember how small Ye was back then, just up to my knees." She glanced at her side profile and said with a smile, "But she's not taller now either."

Cheng Ye scratched his face, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Before he could say anything, Qin Su interrupted him: "Okay."

"Huh?" Cen Xia was quite surprised that her eldest son would actually take the initiative to comment on others. However, since Ye Zi was so cute and so likable, she didn't find it strange. "Yeah, he's about 1.7 meters tall, right?"

Cheng Ye was determined to reach every millimeter: "1.72 meters."

Cen Xia was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, seven two seven two, eat more, maybe you can grow a little bit more if you are full."

"..." Cheng Ye pursed her lips awkwardly, and when she looked up, she met Qin Su's slightly smiling face. Her cheeks suddenly turned even redder, and she quickly turned her eyes away.

Perhaps Cheng Ye had come to their home when he was a child, but Qin Su had completely forgotten it. His first impression of Cheng Ye was the delicate and beautiful boy who rushed into the house with red cheeks and beads of sweat on his nose on that summer afternoon.

At that moment, he was shocked by the child's outstanding appearance. Although he seemed difficult to get along with, he was actually very gentle and had no temper. He even cared about those who bullied him.

Qin Su had never seen such a soft person before. He seemed to be indifferent to the world. All around him were blades that would cut people with the slightest touch. Suddenly, a pebble that felt warm to the touch appeared, and he couldn't wait to get close to it.

"Mom Cen, I, I really can't eat anymore." Cheng Ye hurriedly protected his bowl and stopped Cen Xia from picking up any food for him.

Today was his first night at the Qin family. There was an extremely sumptuous welcoming dinner on the table. Cheng Ye looked at the mountain of food in his bowl and pretended to droop his face. "I don't even know where to start!"

The kitten-like protesting but soft look in his eyes made Cen Xia tremble with joy, and she kept introducing delicious food to him with her chopsticks.

Mom?! Qin Su glanced at the two of them suspiciously, but said nothing.

In addition to the three of them, there was also Qin Su's younger brother, Qin Feng, who had just finished his evening studies. He was a tall and thin boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old with squinting eyes when he smiled.

Originally, Su Bairui would come over for dinner, but today he went hiking with his friends and would not be back for two days.

"Eat chicken wings. The cola chicken wings made by your Aunt Liu are delicious." Even though Cheng Ye said he couldn't eat anymore, Cen Xia couldn't control her hands. Looking at his thin body, she said, "Look how thin you are. Children should not try to lose weight. Eating more staple foods will make you grow taller."

These were typical words to coax a child, but Cheng Ye looked embarrassed. However, he still took the chicken wing from the bowl and slowly ate it. When he met Qin Su's eyes, his face turned even redder and he almost choked.

Cen Xia was startled and hurriedly patted his back to calm him down. Qin Su got up and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm boiled water and placed it in front of Cheng Ye: "Drink some water and eat slowly."

"Why are you so funny!" Cen Xia tried her best to suppress her laughter and patted him on the back, but she couldn't help it and pinched his chubby face, "You can even choke while eating, just like a child!"

Cheng Ye lowered his head deeply in shame and whispered thanks. Qin Su thought that if possible, he would probably want to cover his face with his hands.

"Mom, why do I feel like Brother Ye is your biological son? Look, I even called him." Qin Feng chuckled, showing his big white teeth: "Besides, when Brother Ye comes to our house, there are so many delicious foods. Even my brother personally poured water for him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Cen Xia didn't feel anything, but she also joked, "I do think so. I'd be thankful if you and your brother were half as lovable as Ye Zi!"

Cheng Ye quickly used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork and placed it in Qin Feng's bowl. After a moment's thought, she picked up another piece of cola chicken wing for him. She smiled softly, her curled eyelashes almost swatting Qin Feng away: "You, you eat it."

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he was afraid of making him jealous. He immediately burst into laughter, almost dropping his chopsticks. His brother glared at him fiercely, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said breathlessly, "Brother Ye, why are you so... cute?"

"Eat well!" This time it was not Cen Xia, but Qin Su who spoke. Qin Feng was not afraid of anyone except his brother. He would have nightmares at night if he glared at him. He stuck out his tongue at Cheng Ye, smiled and picked up the bowl to eat rice.

Cheng Ye smiled back at him, his two dimples sparkling in the light. He looked at Qin Feng staring at his face in a daze, and his smile became even wider.

No wonder everyone wants to be a white lotus. As long as you pretend a little, people around you will like you and love you. Even if you do something stupid, they will just think you are cute. Even if you do something wrong, they will just think you are young and ignorant, and even find excuses for you.

Cheng Ye slowly sipped the water in the cup, his eyes lingering on Qin Su. When the other party looked at him, he quickly curled the corners of his lips and gave him a shy and grateful smile.

After dinner, Qin Su took the initiative to follow Cheng Ye up to help him pack his luggage. After all, in their eyes, the second young master of the Cheng family was a delicate and weak patient who would faint at the slightest touch and needed extra care.

It sounded like Cheng Ye had no reason to refuse, but he was still quite embarrassed and kept saying thank you as he went upstairs.

He glanced at the man who was almost a head taller than him from the side, with a shadow covering him, as if the man was holding him. Especially since the stairs were narrow, their shoulders would inevitably rub against each other as they walked side by side.

Cheng Ye's hands and feet were stiff and his knees could not bend.

"Are you afraid of me?" Qin Su suddenly asked. His voice was deliberately lowered and deep, and the hairs on the back of Cheng Ye's neck stood up.

"No, no." He shrank his neck, met Qin Su's inquiring eyes, and stepped back.

"Be careful!" Qin Su put his arm around his waist from behind. "The handrail is quite low. You'll fall if you're not careful."

"Yes, thank you, thank you." The sudden step on empty air scared Cheng Ye, but it still did not dispel the excitement that had just surged in his heart, especially since Qin Su's hand was still on his waist. He even held his breath quietly, trying to stay away from his hot palm.

Fortunately, Qin Su quickly withdrew his hand and put it behind his back.

Cheng Ye exhaled, the tips of his ears turned red. He hurried a few steps and went up the stairs before Qin Su. When he turned the corner, he patted his chest inconspicuously to soothe his beating heart.

All this naturally did not escape Qin Su, whose eyes were always glued to him. Qin Su twisted his fingertips, which were slightly warm and seemed to still be soft, making people reluctant to tighten their hands, as if they wanted to hold on to that feeling tightly.

666: "...Da Ye Zi, don't you like men? Why didn't you react when Qin Su was so close to you?"

Cheng Ye rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you react? Didn't my heart beat faster and my face turn red?"

666: "...those are all buffs, and..." Qin Su thought Cheng Ye was shy and so couldn't wait to run away. In fact, he knew that Ye Zi felt that Qin Su had violated his safety distance and dodged.

Facing Qin Su's scorching gaze, 666 felt that his metal shell was getting hot, but Big Leaf was calm and composed, and even wanted to yawn?

Cheng Ye rolled his eyes even more: "He likes the white lotus, but I don't like the white lotus. Although it's a bit confusing, that's what I mean!"

Then he is blind and still likes me. Is he praising my acting skills or insulting me? This is intolerable!

666 nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay."
