His gray-blue eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making Ning Yunmeng shiver unconsciously.
Ning Xiwan almost laughed out loud. The tacit understanding between these two people was amazing.
Ning Yunmeng finally couldn't hold it anymore, and her face turned pale and blue.
She suddenly cried out "Ouch!", her high heels tilted, and she fell towards Ye Qingliu.
"careful!"
Ning Xiwan was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed Ye Qingliu's school uniform sleeve and pulled him behind her.
Ning Yunmeng missed her target and fell heavily to the ground, with her carefully styled curly hair scattered.
The whole place was silent for three seconds, then burst into suppressed laughter. Some people raised their phones to take pictures frantically, flashes of light flashing one after another.
Ning Xiwan looked down at her and sneered, "You're trying to scam my son in front of me? No way."
Ye Qingliu: "..."
He silently straightened the wrinkled sleeves of his school uniform, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Duan Shuce chuckled, leaning over to Ning Xiwan's ear and whispering, "Wanwan, calling me 'son' is becoming more and more comfortable."
The warm breath against her ear caused her to push him gently.
Ning Yunmeng sat on the ground, her Chanel dress covered with dust and fallen leaves, her false eyelashes half fallen off, and her carefully applied lipstick was smudged when she fell.
She raised her head and glared at Ning Xiwan fiercely, her carefully maintained ladylike image completely shattered. "Ning Xiwan, just wait!"
After saying that, she got up in a hurry and staggered away amid the laughter of the crowd, with one of her high heels falling halfway.
Ning Xiwan shrugged and turned to look at Ye Qingliu: "Why are you here?" She also patted the sleeves of his school uniform that were wrinkled by her.
Ye Qingliu pulled out a stack of test papers from his schoolbag: "The competition class ended early."
He paused, lowering his voice a bit, "I came to have dinner with you."
Duan Shuce pinched Ning Xiwan's cheek: "What about me? Not welcome?" His fingertips lingered on her delicate skin.
Ning Xiwan slapped his hand away: "Welcome, welcome. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal in the cafeteria."
She turned to leave, but was grabbed by both of them at the same time.
"The food in the cafeteria is terrible." Ye Qingliu frowned, and his expression rarely showed any change.
Duan Shuce agreed, "Why don't we go out to eat? I know there's a new Japanese restaurant."
Ning Xiwan looked at the two people tugging at her sleeves, one on each side, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You two are now a united front?"
In the end, the three of them went to a Japanese restaurant in the commercial street outside the school.
Under the warm yellow light, Duan Shuce skillfully picked up a piece of salmon with chopsticks and placed it in Ning Xiwan's bowl: "That Ning Yunmeng, does she often give you trouble?"
Ning Xiwan bit her straw while drinking oolong tea and mumbled, "It's okay, just a little fight."
She suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Ye Qingliu, "By the way, why did you suddenly come to our school today?"
Ye Qingliu was conscientiously mixing mustard and soy sauce into the perfect ratio. Hearing this, he said without even looking up: "I told you, I'm here to have dinner with you."
He pushed the prepared sauce in front of Ning Xiwan and added, "By the way, check to see if anyone is bullying you."
Duan Shuce raised his eyebrows: "Young Master Ye is so free?"
Ye Qingliu glanced at him coldly: "I have more free time than you."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ning Xiwan quickly interrupted: "Stop, stop, stop, eat."
She picked up a piece of sushi and stuffed it into Ye Qingliu's mouth. "Be good, son, don't quarrel with your Uncle Duan."
Ye Qingliu chewed with his cheeks puffed out, his gray-blue eyes wide open, like a cat being fed. Duan Shuce, on the other hand, was choked by the word "Uncle Duan" and started coughing, his ears red.
When paying the bill, the waiter looked at the three students wearing different clothes and asked curiously: "Who are you...?"
"We're family." Ning Xiwan smiled and put her arms around their shoulders. Ye Qingliu nodded expressionlessly, while Duan Shuce grinned from ear to ear.
As they walked out of the restaurant, the setting sun stretched the shadows of the three of them. Ye Qingliu suddenly said, "Next time Ning Yunmeng bothers you, tell me."
Ning Xiwan raised her eyebrows: "Why, you want to help me beat her up?"
Ye Qingliu said seriously: "I can make her stock hit the limit down."
Duan Shuce whistled: "Young Master Ye, you are so domineering."
Ning Xiwan held her forehead with her hand: "...Son, let's just abide by the law."
Ye Qingliu said "Oh", lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road. He was extremely well-behaved.
Duan Shuce watched this scene and chuckled: "Wanwan, you've raised this 'son' well."
Ning Xiwan raised her chin proudly: "Of course."
She reached out and ruffled Ye Qingliu's hair. Although the latter frowned, he did not dodge.
