"Like...what?" Yun Xiang tilted his head and continued to ask.
Cheng Che pursed his lips, stunned by Yun Xiang's question.
What do you like?
Does he have to name names?
Cheng Che raised his hand and tapped Yun Xiang's head, signaling Yun Xiang to stop asking too many questions.
Yun Xiang lost her balance and staggered back two steps, but Cheng Che grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Yun Xiang placed her hand gently on Cheng Che's front. She then stood up straight, shoulder to shoulder with him. She glanced at the young man standing beside her, a smile slowly creeping onto her face.
She put her hands in her pockets, lowered her head and stood on tiptoe, saying softly and proudly, "I know it even if you don't tell me."
Hearing the sound, Cheng Che's eyes fell on Yun Xiang.
The photo of the popular actress Qi Nuan on the bus stop billboard was extremely dazzling. Yun Xiang's face was illuminated.
Cheng Che put his hands in his pockets and leaned towards Yun Xiang. He tilted his head slightly, looking at her with scorching eyes. "What about you?"
The wind was blowing and the leaves were rustling.
Yun Xiang looked at him, but didn't answer his question. Instead, he looked at the branches and leaves above his head that were blown by the wind, and said slowly, "Cheng Che, do you think the wind tonight is very comfortable?"
Cheng Che followed Yun Xiang's gaze. The maple leaves had completely turned yellow, and the wind blew them down uncontrollably.
Yun wanted to look at Cheng Che's profile.
The boy's profile was very tough, his lips were tightly pursed, and his features were clear and beautiful. Compared to the first time she saw Cheng Che, the current Cheng Che made her heart beat faster.
When they first met, she was attracted by his strong youthful aura and good looks.
Now, she willingly fell for his charisma and thoughtfulness.
Cheng Che turned his head slightly and met Shang Yunxiang's gaze. Her almond-shaped eyes were always filled with a subtle light, sometimes warm, sometimes clear, making it impossible to look away.
He asked casually, "Do you like the breeze?"
Yun Xiang raised his eyebrows.
With a faint smile on her face, she said to Cheng Che softly, word by word, "I like it very much."
And I like more than just the autumn evening breeze.
Didi——
The bus was approaching. Yun wanted to look away and said in an excited tone, "The bus is coming."
Cheng Che stood there, looking at Yun Xiang's figure, and heard Yun Xiang's words in his ears - I like it very much.
Do you like the evening breeze?
Or... him?
…
"Grandpa, the light bulb in the living room is broken. I'll buy a new one and bring it to you tomorrow."
Yun Xiang was helping to pick up the dishes. Cheng Che was standing on a ladder helping his grandfather check the light bulb.
"We've been having power outages here lately, and the lines are very unstable." Cheng Zhenhua sighed, then waved at Cheng Che, "Xiao Che, come and sit down."
Cheng Zhenhua took the dish from Yun Xiang's hand. Compared to his imposing manner outside, he was much gentler at home.
"Grandpa, this fish smells so good." Yun Xiang always came to support him.
Cheng Zhenhua narrowed his eyes and said very kindly, "Don't you like sweet food? Grandpa made everything you like today!"
Cheng Che came back after washing his hands and saw the dishes on the table. He felt like fainting for a moment.
Sweet and sour carp, braised prawns, braised pork, corn and pork ribs soup, plus a stir-fried vegetable.
Except for soups and vegetarian dishes, every dish is bright red, and you can tell at a glance that it contains sugar and ketchup.
"Xiao Che doesn't like sweet food, so I specially fried some vegetables for him." Cheng Zhenhua pushed the fried vegetables in front of Cheng Che.
Cheng Che: “…”
Yun Xiang glanced at Cheng Che and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
The last time I came, the prawns were the salty braised ones.
This time, the prawns were braised in tomato sauce.
"Grandpa. Otherwise, next time just ask Xiang Xiang to come over and don't call me. I feel like I'm quite redundant." Cheng Che picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks.
Cheng Zhenhua argued confidently, "That won't work. It's so late, and she's a little girl coming alone. How can we guarantee her safety?"
Cheng Che choked, "So the meaning of my existence..."
"It's just to protect Xiangxiang's safety." Cheng Zhenhua chuckled.
Cheng Che: “…”Okay, okay.
So neat.
Yunxiang laughed secretly while eating.
Cheng Che nodded her head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"What's wrong with laughing?" Yun wanted to retort.
Cheng Che clearly felt that with his grandfather by his side, Yun Xiang felt more confident.
Then again, when did Yun Xiang ever lose confidence?
He still felt bad about the scene where she stood on the podium and asked him to get his homework...
"Just laugh, don't mind him." Cheng Zhenhua drank a mouthful of soup and said to Yun Xiang affectionately, "If you don't like the fat in this braised pork, just cut off the fat and eat the lean meat."
Cheng Che felt that the food in the bowl was not fragrant at all.
The Cheng family's rule is to eat what you can, but leave it alone if you can't. There's no reason to only eat lean meat when making braised pork.
"Grandpa, I eat everything." Yun Xiang is not picky about food.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhenhua nodded, his eyes full of love.
"That's good. Don't be like Xiao Che. Oh, he was very picky about food when he was a kid and was often beaten every time he ate." Cheng Zhenhua shook his head when he talked about Cheng Che.
"Really?" Yun Xiang looked at Cheng Che dimly.
Cheng Che glanced at Yun Xiang and said seriously, "That was all when I was a kid."
"Speaking of childhood, think about it. Grandpa will show you our little Che's childhood photos later!" Cheng Zhenhua suddenly mentioned this matter.
Cheng Che choked and quickly shouted, "Grandpa! This is not good, right?"
His tone was high, and he was obviously unwilling.
Cheng Zhenhua was eating. "What's wrong with that? Think about it, we are not outsiders."
Yun Xiang was bewildered, his reaction slow. Huh? What?
Cheng Che's face turned dark.
Can the photos kept by grandpa be good ones?
Either you are naked or you are beaten...
He was very discontented when he was a child, and there is not a single serious photo of him.
Wouldn’t Yun Xiang laugh to death when he saw this?
How would he have the face to face Yun Xiang in the future?
"Grandpa, this dish is really good." Cheng Che quickly picked up some food for the old man, trying to change the subject. "But Grandpa, don't usually make such sweet dishes. After all, you are old and prone to high blood sugar."
The old man didn't say anything, but looked at Cheng Che with an expression that seemed to show he saw through everything.
When Cheng Che thought about showing Yun Xiang those embarrassing photos of himself, his heart beat uncontrollably faster.
"You are looking forward to my order!" Cheng Zhenhua patted his head.
Cheng Che nodded, "Grandpa, don't bring up those childhood photos. We can do whatever we want."
"What's there to be afraid of?" the old man snorted.
"Xiang Xiang, do you want to see it?" Cheng Zhenhua simply pushed the question to Yun Xiang.
The cloud wants to look up.
Two people were looking at her, waiting for her to give an answer.
Cheng Che became even more panicked.
If she said she wanted to see it, he would at most feel ashamed.
But if Yun Xiang said he didn't want to see it, it would prove that Yun Xiang was not interested in his past at all.
There is no need to be ashamed now, it is time to cry.
Yun Xiang smiled and said gently, "Grandpa, I respect Cheng Che's ideas."
