"Everything is fine. I was talking to your grandparents on the phone the other day and they were talking about you."
"You child, you didn't say anything. Your grandparents or Jiaojiao told you that you're so busy with classes every day that your feet are constantly on the ground. Studies are important, but health is also important. Come in and sit down first. I'll ask your Grandpa Ye to make you some nourishing soup later. You look so thin."
He then led Chu Xingyue to the door of the private room reserved by Cheng Guobang, turning to face Cheng Guobang:
"Take good care of An'an."
"Go ahead, go ahead, I promise."
Chu Xingyue, who was waiting inside the door, looked at Cheng Guobang who came in with a gossipy smile that she hadn't had time to wipe away.
"What are you doing? What's with that expression?!" Like a cat with its fur standing on end, but a cat that has absolutely no intimidating power.
Chu Xingyue nodded with an expression of understanding.
"You brat, get those thoughts out of your head. I'm a respectable person."
"Would a decent person laugh like that?" Chu Xingyue asked with disdain.
"Come in and sit down quickly, what are you doing standing at the door?" Cheng Guobang urged Chu Xingyue to come and sit down.
If it weren't for his bright red ears, you wouldn't know he was shy. Who would have thought that such a tough guy could be shy?
Seeing his expression, Chu Xingyue stopped teasing him.
"Did the teacher say when they would be coming?" This changed the subject, easing the awkwardness.
"He'll be here soon. He's finished over there and is on his way."
There was warm tea on the table. Chu Xingyue slowly brewed a cup of tea for Cheng Guobang and handed it to him.
Cheng Guobang watched Chu Xingyue's tea-making movements and said, "I didn't know you had such skills."
"I learned it from watching videos when I had free time; it wasn't too difficult."
"You're just being modest. But this little cup isn't enough to satisfy me. I can't really drink like this. It's not even enough to moisten my lips." He poured it straight into his mouth.
"How could my Aunt Ye possibly approve of you looking like this?" Chu Xingyue lifted her eyelids and glanced at Cheng Guobang.
"Cough cough cough," a mouthful of water in his throat made Cheng Guobang choke.
"What did you say?" She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her lips.
"If you keep going like this, you probably won't be able to catch up with my Aunt Ye."
"How can you not catch up just because you're drinking water?" This question directly revealed Cheng Guobang's true thoughts.
"Um, um, I'm going out to see if Old Zhang has arrived yet." After saying that, he quickly got up and ran out as if he were fleeing.
Chu Xingyue chuckled at his amusing expression. The moment the curtain opened, the radiance was caught on camera by someone who happened to glance over from the opposite side.
The person who came out from inside interrupted the view from the other side, "Fifth Brother?"
"Aci? What are you doing here?" Cheng Guobang looked at Gu Yanci opposite him with surprise.
"I'm having a small get-together with them here."
"Xiao Jun is on vacation too?"
"Yeah, it's coming this way right now." "It's freezing, why did you go out?"
"Oh, the department head at school invited me to dinner. I'll go out and see if he's arrived yet. He's not young, so I'll have to wait at the entrance. It's cold outside, so you go in first. I'll have Xiao Jun come over here later." Ever since Cheng Guobang knew Cheng Jun was coming, he'd been thinking about how to set his nephew up with Chu Xingyue and see if she would like him.
At this moment, Cheng Guobang was already secretly trying to bring Chu Xingyue to his home. If Cheng Jun knew what his uncle was thinking, he would never go, even if he was beaten up. He had been beaten countless times for it.
