Chapter 71: First Date (Part 2) But the important thing is always...

In the next twenty minutes, Yu Xiang felt like he was about to be driven crazy by this over-energetic child.

Not only is she like a sticky candy that I can't get rid of, but she also likes to touch him all the time. Sometimes she pulls his legs, sometimes she wants to ride on his neck, and then she snatches his phone from him. She's so annoying.

But this stubborn guy was so bold that he didn't take Yu Xiang's warning seriously at all. He was so shameless.

Just when Yu Xiang felt hopeless, the doorbell rang.

He thought Yu Jinsheng had come home from get off work without his keys, so he wanted to get up and open the door: "Hey, come down here, I need to open the door."

"No!" The little boy rejected him flatly.

"Then just hang there like this. I won't be responsible if you fall down." Yu Xiang didn't give in at all and stood up directly.

However, although the child was small, he had amazing arm strength. He strangled Yu Xiang's neck so much that it hurt, but he didn't fall down.

Just then, the doorbell rang again. Yu Xiang simply ignored it, thinking that he wouldn't be strangled to death. He simply quickened his pace to the entrance and opened the door. "Dad, you left without your keys... Why are you here?"

The person outside the door was not Yu Jinsheng, but Jiang Ci, who had just separated from him.

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, and then Jiang Ci turned his gaze expressionlessly to the arrogant kid hanging on Yu Xiang, his face suddenly colder: "Let him get off."

"Is it me who doesn't want to?" Yu Xiang immediately turned his back to him. "You've come just in time. Let me help you."

Two minutes later.

The kid named "Zihao" sat opposite Jiang Ci, and was much more obedient than before - Jiang Ci's cold face was a little scary to everyone, and he was still a stranger to him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Yu Xiang obviously noticed this as well, and decisively sat next to Jiang Ci, unilaterally declaring his victory.

"Yu Xiang, is this your classmate?" Yu Xiang's aunt looked at Jiang Ci curiously. "He's so handsome."

"Neighbor." Yu Xiang was in a good mood as he was no longer disturbed by the little brat.

"Oh—so that's where you stayed last night?"

"right."

"That's it." She nodded and continued naturally: "Then he has caused trouble for your family."

Yu Xiang turned his face away speechlessly: "..."

It's just a small trouble, but someone even wishes he could stay longer.

Jiang Ci replied calmly, "It's not a problem. On the contrary, your son is quite troublesome. I suggest you discipline him properly."

He said it calmly, but Yu Xiang's aunt couldn't smile anymore. Her expression became increasingly grim. "What's wrong with you, kid? Didn't your mother tell you to be polite?"

Jiang Ci calmly turned around and asked Yu Xiang, "Am I not being polite enough?"

Yu Xiang gave him a thumbs up in his heart and tried hard to suppress his laughter: "I think it's quite polite."

"you!"

"I can get 90 points in math, can you?"

This ill-timed provocation came from Qiu Zihao, the full name of the eight-year-old's brother. He couldn't remain quiet for long, and he walked up to Jiang Ci with a haughty air, gazing at him smugly.

Yu Xiang thought to himself, why do you have to compare your grades with him when there are so many other things you can compare with him.

At the same time, Qiu Zihao's mother, Yu Xiang's aunt, also cast an admiring look at her son.

Yu Xiang couldn't bear to watch and muttered, "What's there to be proud of when comparing a first-year elementary school student to a prospective university student at a prestigious university?"

It's like I have a problem, and people will laugh at me if I tell others about it.

"Only getting a 90 in first grade is terrible." Jiang Ci was completely unmoved, his expression unchanged. "I have a cousin who always scored 100 in first grade. Guess what she's getting now?"

"He won't understand what you're saying. He has no idea about high school scores." Yu Xiang reminded him at the right time.

"It doesn't matter. You just need to know that 90 points is really not that good." Jiang Ci said slowly.

Qiu Zihao was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Then how many points can you get?"

"Don't ask. He's always been the top student." Yu Xiang couldn't bear it any longer and turned to face his aunt. "There's nothing to compare, right? Stop talking about it."

Because it's really embarrassing.

He didn't even want to admit that this was his relative.

Unfortunately, the other party was unwilling to take the opportunity he gave her. Seeing that he couldn't win the competition, he inexplicably accused Jiang Ci: "You are really rude. Aren't you ashamed of competing with a child like this?"

"If I remember correctly, your child didn't think first, right?"

"Get out, you're not welcome here!"

"What's going on? Why do they seem to be arguing?" Chen Xiaomei, who was busy cooking, poked her head out when she heard the noise, a little confused about what was going on. "What's going on?"

"Him! That's him!" Yu Xiang's aunt pointed at Jiang Ci and said exaggeratedly, "He came up and bullied Zihao and even cursed at him. I've never seen anyone so rude."

Chen Xiaomei looked at the "culprit" in shock, and became even more confused: "Xiao Ci? Impossible."

"Mom, it's okay. Just keep cooking." Yu Xiang didn't bother to explain. After he finished speaking to Chen Xiaomei, he looked at the mother and son with a cold face: "I'm sorry, this is my home. I welcome him. We're relatives, and it's pointless for you to make a fuss."

Qiu Zihao was glared at by Yu Xiang, and tears quickly came out: "Mom, ah——"

"Cry, cry, cry, I'm so annoyed. I cry whenever something happens."

"Yu Xiang! Stop talking." Although Chen Xiaomie hadn't had time to figure out what had happened, she subconsciously tried to smooth things over.

"I don't want it. I've put up with them for a long time." Yu Xiang said desperately, "They're sarcastic, competitive, and take advantage of others. They tell lies all the time. It's really annoying."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was dumbfounded, even Jiang Ci looked at him in shock.

Because the situation was becoming too ugly, Yu Xiang was specially allowed to go out for lunch - the mother and son chose to stay because they had no means of transportation and were extremely shameless.

"It feels so good." Yu Xiang and Jiang Ci walked aimlessly under the shade of the trees, sighing from the bottom of their hearts, "I'm telling you, my aunt insisted on staying just to tell my parents bad things about you and me. You don't have to guess."

"It seems you know her very well." Jiang Ci turned his head and looked at Yu Xiang's profile with soft eyes.

"Of course I do. After all, I've hated it since I was little." Yu Xiang answered without hesitation, then belatedly remembered something, "By the way, why did you suddenly come to my house?"

"No one was home at noon, so my mom sent me a message asking me to come to your house for a meal." Jiang Ci said calmly, "But neither she nor I expected you to have guests today."

Yu Xiang added slowly, "Aunt Fang probably never thought you could go up against an old lady and an 8-year-old kid."

Jiang Ci shrugged nonchalantly: "He's not my relative anyway."

Yu Xiang gently reminded him, "But if we... um... end up doing that, then wouldn't she become your relative?"

He meant marriage, but since they had just confirmed their relationship, he was embarrassed to say it directly.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

After a moment, Jiang Ci coughed lightly with some embarrassment: "It's not a big deal. I'm not polite to my cousin Jiang Yuting at all."

"Speaking of Jiang Yuting, I remembered. Why do I feel like you always target her?" Yu Xiang asked with a hiss.

Jiang Ci said calmly: "I'm not targeting her."

Yu Xiang: “Yes.”

As he spoke, he cast an inquiring gaze at Jiang Ci, and the latter's somewhat evasive look further confirmed his suspicion: "You must have targeted me to some extent, but why..."

Yu Xiang pondered for a moment and concluded uncertainly, "Could it be because you're jealous?"

A suspicious blush appeared on Jiang Ci's face: "I'm not that stingy."

"You're just that stingy." Yu Xiang raised his eyebrows complacently, with an expression that said, "Don't I know you?" "You're not as honest now as you were last night."

Although Jiang Ci is very different from those drunk people in other aspects, he is right in speaking the truth after drinking.

"Let's get back to the point. You said you were going to come here for a free meal, didn't you?" Yu Xiang thought for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his face apologetically. "But it seems that thanks to me, we both don't have lunch now."

"Then treat it as a date." Jiang Ci's tone didn't contain any regrets, and he seemed to be in a good mood. "Is there any restaurant you'd like to go to?"

Yu Xiang thought about it seriously and said, "Then the beef noodle shop in front?"

Jiang Ci extended his hand to Yu Xiang: "Let's go then?"

Yu Xiang lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the handsome hand that Jiang Ci stretched out, and asked hesitantly: "On the street..." Wouldn't it be inappropriate with so many people coming and going?

"Yu Xiang." Jiang Ci called his name.

"Ah?" Yu Xiang responded subconsciously.

"We're both adults and have graduated from high school," Jiang Ci said patiently, "so we're not in a premature relationship right now."

Yu Xiang was stunned.

Yes, they are in free love now.

He no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Ci.

So the two of them held hands and went to the beef noodle restaurant like an ordinary couple to solve their food and clothing problems, and then they were at a loss as to where to go next.

It was called a date, but after all, it was the first time for both of them to fall in love. Although they were very good at kissing, they still had the common problem of going out together as boys when it came to dates: going out to play but not knowing where to go.

But the important thing has always been going out together, not playing.

Considering the hot weather, they finally chose a nearby dog ​​cafe.

In fact, Jiang Ci was not very interested in this kind of hair-shedding animal, but Yu Xiang liked it, so he followed him in.

But he soon regretted it - as soon as Yu Xiang got inside, she had a great time playing with a group of dogs inside and completely forgot about her boyfriend.

Jiang Ci picked up the drink and took a sip, thinking about how to divert Yu Xiang's attention away from the dogs.

He felt something furry beside his leg, and when he looked down, his eyes met those of a Border Collie.

The man and the dog stared at each other, and finally the Border Collie simply lay down at his feet, sticking out its tongue and breathing.

"Jiang Ci!" Yu Xiang, realizing she had forgotten about her boyfriend, returned with her two huskies. She was stunned when she saw the Border Collie lying at Jiang Ci's feet. "Border Collie, it's actually willing to lie down here with you."
