"It's okay, I just want to spend more time with my aunt. Let's go, Auntie."

Yan Xiluo affectionately took Yan Chuxiao's hand, making it impossible for Yan Chuxiao to refuse her enthusiasm.

"Okay! You two chat, Luo Luo and I will go to the kitchen."

Yan Chuxiao really didn't refuse Yan Xiluo's request again, which was perfect, as she could have more time to chat with Yan Xiluo and get to know her better!

To her surprise, Yan Xiluo could actually cook. Her family's Su Mengying had never even stepped into the kitchen before, which was a testament to Su Yi's overprotective nature.

He said that cooking fumes are bad for the skin, and even if there is a range hood, he would not feel at ease. Or he would say that he did not want Yan Chuxiao to be too tired.

A few hours ago

S City Dance Grand Theater

"Everyone's in good spirits today, let's do two more runs, then we'll have a few hours off this afternoon, and meet up again at 7 p.m. sharp!"

Finally, the supervising teacher showed a satisfied smile after all this time.

Tan Xiaomei glared fiercely at Yan Yinran. She wasn't going to let her steal the spotlight! She was going to make her lose her smile!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

After two rounds, the instructor clapped his hands in satisfaction and told them to quickly gather in the middle.

"Very good! I hope everyone can give 100% in tonight's performance! Now, let's all disperse! Remember to meet here promptly at 7 PM!"

The instructor left the scene immediately after finishing speaking.

The people on stage also left hand in hand with their friends, in pairs.

Yan Yinran and Wei Yanyu left the theater hand in hand.

"Ranran, you're absolutely amazing! Your lead dancer position is now invincible! That Tan Xiaomei glares at you angrily every day, looking like she wants to get rid of you but is powerless to do anything about it. It cracks me up!"

Yan Yinran's performance these past few days has been remarkable. She has always performed steadily and has not been affected by external factors. Everyone agrees that she deserves the lead dancer position.

"I'm afraid she'll do something bad; I always have a bad feeling about it."

Yan Yinran's sixth sense told her that something bad was going to happen today, and her eyelids kept twitching.

"She probably wouldn't dare to do anything, right? After all, she got humiliated last time. She won't be so forgetful, will she?"

Thinking about how Tan Xiaomei got the short end of the stick last time, Wei Yanyu felt incredibly satisfied. It was just a pity that Yan Yinran's clothes were still dirtied by Tan Xiaomei back then...

"I hope so... By the way, didn't you say you wanted to go out for a walk? Are you still going?"

Yan Yinran was preoccupied, but she forced herself to pull herself back to reality. Just two days ago, Wei Yanyu had been clamoring to go shopping during the holiday, so she decided to distract herself and not let herself think too much.

"Of course I'm going! It's such a treat to have a few hours off! It'll be great for us to relax!"

Wei Yanyu grabbed Yan Yinran and strode forward, almost running.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Yan Yinran seemed somewhat absent-minded.

"Let's have lunch first? We can go shopping after we've eaten!"

Wei Yanyu had already led her to the car and opened the door.

"Whatever, you can arrange it."

Yan Yinran immediately sat in the passenger seat and let Wei Yanyu drive.

More than ten minutes later

Mingyuan Restaurant

Wei Yanyu, arm in arm with Yan Yinran, entered the restaurant with light steps.

"Hey hey hey... Ranran, isn't that the handsome guy who helped you out last time? He's eating here too?"

Wei Yanyu pointed excitedly to the seat where Leng Mingye was sitting. Only Leng Mingye was eating, and it seemed that the food had not been served yet.

"I think so?"

Yan Yinran looked in the direction Wei Yanyu pointed... and it really was him. She never expected to meet him here.

"Let's go! Let's go over there..."

Having received Yan Yinran's confirmation, she quickly dragged Yan Yinran over there.

"Hey! Yanyu, what are you doing...?"

Yan Yinran was a little confused about Wei Yanyu's actions and didn't know what she was trying to do.

The force with which he pulled her hand was quite strong, and she almost couldn't catch her breath.

You'll find out soon enough!

Wei Yanyu did not stop; instead, she pulled Yan Yinran along and walked even faster.

"Hey handsome, we meet again!"

The two approached Leng Mingye. Wei Yanyu, who was naturally a social butterfly, immediately went up to greet Leng Mingye. Yan Yinran, standing next to her, was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground, her face turning red.

She had no idea that Wei Yanyu would pull her over to greet the other person so directly...

Right now, she really wanted to run away...

"Um...you guys...oh~I remember now, hello everyone."

Leng Mingye slowly raised his head, and the first thing he saw was Yan Yinran, followed by Wei Yanyu. His mind went blank for a moment...

She quickly recalled what had happened a few days earlier; it turned out to be them.

"Handsome, would you mind if we shared a table? It's on me. I mainly want to thank you properly because you helped my friend last time."

Seeing that Leng Mingye still remembered them, Wei Yanyu went even further, directly suggesting that she sit at the same table as Leng Mingye...

Terrified, Yan Yinran didn't dare to speak, constantly tugging at Wei Yanyu's clothes, signaling her to stop...

But he remained unmoved, seemingly captivated by Leng Mingye's good looks... He insisted on standing there waiting for his answer.

"Sharing a table is fine, but there's no need to treat me. Please have a seat."

Leng Mingye paused for two seconds. Share a table? Uh, this was the first time he had encountered this situation. It didn't seem right to just refuse them, since both girls were shy.

He knew he should accept, as he wasn't in the habit of letting girls pay, so he invited them to sit down.

"Okay, thank you, handsome!"

Wei Yanyu said happily. She didn't expect Leng Mingye to agree to her request. Actually... she just thought Leng Mingye was very handsome and had a good character. She thought he and Yan Yinran were a good match and wanted to bring them together.

"Ranran, sit down, please sit inside..."

Wei Yanyu half-pushed Yan Yinran to sit inside, where they sat directly opposite Leng Mingye.

"ah……"

Yan Yinran really wanted to refuse, but she had already sat down half-heartedly. It was the first time she had ever sat so close to a man of the opposite sex who wasn't her family.

She didn't dare look him in the eye, not even dare to look at him, her face burning red, and she didn't know why.

Is it really that bad? This is the first time she's ever felt so embarrassed...

Afterwards, Wei Yanyu and Yan Yinran both ordered food, but Yan Yinran never dared to look at Leng Mingye.

Leng Mingye, however, was quite different. He kept looking at Yan Yinran with great interest, and for some reason, he was simply drawn to her...

This was their second meeting; it seemed like fate. But she seemed quite uncomfortable. Did she not want him to have dinner with her?

He didn't say a word? That's obviously unusual. Was he being too fierce or serious?
