If she had known that things would develop into what they are now, Si Jiu would never have let Cheng Yuan follow her upstairs.
It wasn't like this half an hour ago.
Half an hour ago, Ji's father was still puffing his beard, glaring, slamming the table and stamping his feet, saying, "How can someone like you be worthy of my precious daughter who is incomparable and as precious as a jewel in the world?"
Half an hour later, Ji's father and Cheng Yuan were sitting on the sofa with a chessboard in the middle, playing chess fiercely with a look of sympathy on their faces.
From time to time, Ji's father would reach out and pat Cheng Yuan on the shoulder, and exclaim in praise, "Good, good boy!"
Sijiu: It’s too shameful to watch.
Ji's mother was already busy in the kitchen.
Sijiu was pulled into the kitchen by Ji's mother, looking confused.
"Does Xiao Yuan like spicy food?"
Si Jiu thought of the male protagonist's attitude towards spicy food and curled his lips, "He simply loves spicy food."
"Oh, are there any dietary restrictions?"
"No, just anything. He loves to eat everything, especially the offal and organs of animals."
"Oh~" Ji's mother was busy while the dog Chong Chong whispered, "He really has no parents? He lives alone?"
Si Jiu's eyelids twitched and he thought to himself, how would I know this?
Cheng Yuan was too cunning. He conquered Ji's father with his "chess skills", and then conquered Ji's mother by taking advantage of the overflowing maternal love of most mothers.
Of course, there must be other things she doesn't know about.
For example, when she was sent away, Cheng Yuan must have reached some agreement with them.
"Well, he rents a house outside our school. As far as I know, he lives alone."
"Oh, how pitiful."
Mother Ji sighed and asked, "Is he really good at studying? I heard that he has never ranked other than first in exams since elementary school?"
Sijiu: “…Yeah.”
"What a good kid! It's not easy."
Mother Ji wiped her eyes and said, "I'll buy some pig intestines later. I must give Xiao Yuan a good meal today."
Thinking of the various reactions that someone who never touches internal organs might have when eating later, Si Jiu raised his eyebrows happily, "Okay."
"But Mom, you just cooked some noodles. You've been cooking for a long time. We're going to be late for school."
"Oh oh oh, okay, it's almost done. I'll fry another egg."
Si Jiu watched as Ji's mother picked up a bowl of noodles, then poured three spoonfuls of her secret chili sauce into it as if it were free, and finally topped it with boiled vegetables and golden eggs, and brought it to Cheng Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, stop playing chess with your uncle. He's a terrible chess player and a huge addict. No one likes to play with him."
Father Ji was a little unhappy about this. Just when he was about to maintain his dignity, he heard the young man's voice with a smile, "No, it's fun to play chess with uncle."
Father Ji was comforted and hummed with satisfaction.
"I'm just giving you face. Get out of here, or you'll be late for school if you don't eat."
Father Ji was pushed aside by Mother Ji, and then a bowl of red noodles appeared under Cheng Yuan's eyes.
The corners of Cheng Yuan's eyes twitched, and he turned his head to see the little girl's expression of enjoying the show.
"Try it and see if it's spicy enough. If not, Auntie will add more."
Cheng Yuan took the noodles, took a bite, paused for half a second, and swallowed it with a normal expression, "It's delicious."
Ji's mother immediately smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more. Come back with Ranran to eat in the evening."
The young man smiled and said, "Okay."
In the end, Cheng Yuan finished the whole bowl of noodles without changing his expression.
It was Ji's father who drove them to school himself.
Si Jiu actually just wanted to tease him at the beginning, but she didn't expect him to actually finish the bowl of noodles. She tried to stop him several times but failed.
The result was that as soon as I entered the school gate, I saw someone frowning and rubbing his stomach subtly.
“Tsk.”
Sijiu grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the school infirmary.
"You clearly know I'm teasing you. Even if you're afraid I'll get angry, just show some respect. Is there any need to go to such lengths?"
The young man let the little girl pull him away, with a smile on his face, "I'm not afraid of you getting angry."
"So you have a tendency to self-abuse?" Si Jiu turned his head and glanced at him unhappily.
"I just want to cheer you up."
His tone was matter-of-fact and ordinary, yet it gave people a sense of solemnity for no reason.
It seemed as if making Sijiu happy was an extremely important matter.
Si Jiu was stunned.
