Chen Wenzhi remained silent throughout, his posture upright the entire time. When the girl leaned closer, he honestly dodged her. The girl was annoyed: "Cousin, why have we become so distant?"
The girl's face showed anger and resentment.
He ignored everything, he kept looking at Ying Qian, he was always afraid that she might misunderstand something.
Ren Yi patted Ying Qian on the shoulder, got up to order, and left her alone.
"My name is Chen Yao, the Yao of 'graceful lady'." The girl stretched out her hand, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes added an inexplicable charm to her cuteness.
She exudes a strong sense of oppression, a kind of contemptuous superiority.
Before Ying Qian could even grasp her hand, she quickly withdrew it, her smile remaining innocent and harmless.
Ying Qian knew this was a blatant humiliation. She looked up and met Chen Wenzhi's apologetic gaze, smiled slightly, shook her head, and indicated that it was alright.
Chen Wenzhi suddenly realized that he had been petty.
She never cared about these things... She seemed to only care about her broken family and her mother who made her cry, ignoring everything else.
She seems to never experience feelings like jealousy or envy.
Chen Yao still caught their barely perceptible exchanges and tentative glances. She hated this country bumpkin who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, even though Chen Wenzhi hadn't liked her that much before.
Chen Wenzhi wasn't stupid; he quickly sensed the anger in Chen Yao's heart and turned to say, "Cousin, shall I take you home first?"
Chen Yao put on a pitiful look and asked in a soft voice, "Is my cousin trying to get rid of me?"
Her stunning beauty was irresistible, and she thought that this would keep Chen Wenzhi with her.
As a result, Chen Wenzhi's expression became even more resolute than before, and he said without hesitation, "Yes, I'm kicking you out."
His indifferent expression held a slight smile as he countered, "Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Qian smiled, resting her chin on her hand. Her smile was gentle, like a breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers.
She didn't know how to evaluate her deskmate anymore.
That's hard to judge!
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao stared wide-eyed at Chen Wenzhi in disbelief, her mouth agape but unable to utter a single word, as if she wanted to skin him alive.
Finally, she leaned back in her chair and said in a cheeky tone, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay wherever you are, cousin, or I'll tell Uncle."
At this moment, Ren Yi walked over carrying three glasses of lemonade and... a glass of plain water.
Ying Qian took her share and said softly, "Thank you."
Ren Yi nodded, glancing sideways at Chen Wenzhi, whose expression remained unchanged, before confirming that nothing serious had happened.
But when he saw Chen Yao's face turn red with anger and turned to one side, he couldn't help but laugh, and then he began to regret not staying here to watch this good show.
Chen Yao glanced at the lemonade handed to her, snorted coldly, and threw it into the trash can in front of the three of them.
Ignoring the dirt, Chen Wenzhi reached out and picked it up. Under Ren Yi's shocked expression, she said coldly, "Our world as ordinary people is different from yours, young lady. Not everyone is as pampered as you."
He had never said those words, especially not to Chen Yao.
She was a girl her grandfather brought back from out of town, showered with love and affection. Sometimes, too much pampering turns into spoiling. She was outstanding, and it was precisely because of her extraordinary excellence that she developed a sense of superiority.
Chen Wenzhi knew perfectly well that from childhood to adulthood, Chen Yao had never failed to get anything she wanted...
Family scandals should not be aired in public, so Chen Wenzhi was unwilling to say more.
Chen Yao was furious, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She picked up her bag from the table and stormed off without saying a word.
Ren Yi sighed: "Your sister... after being your cousin for so long, she still hasn't figured out your personality? She really isn't that close..."
Ying Qian expressed her agreement.
Chen Wenzhi ended up drinking the lemonade; he didn't want to waste it because it was Ren Yi's thoughtfulness.
Three people, carrying schoolbags, strolled leisurely along the street bathed in the setting sun.
The old street was bustling with activity on Friday, teeming with people.
Ying Qian had no intention of going shopping, so she said goodbye and walked home alone.
Chen Wenzhi wanted to give him a ride, but Ren Yi forcibly dragged him away to look at the new game consoles in the specialty store.
Helpless, he watched Ying Qian's figure disappear into the distance.

As soon as she got home, Ying Qian took off her coat and then casually took off her bra, throwing them all onto the sofa.
She untied her hair tie and was about to get a change of clothes and a comb.
The door to the side opened.
His face, which I hadn't seen in a long time, looked much more haggard, with a bit of stubble, and his masculinity had increased considerably.
When he saw her surprised expression, Meng Beiyan's brows relaxed, and he felt much relieved.
"You're back so early today. Didn't you go out with your classmates?" Meng Beiyan slowly moved closer to her slender body, his touch aggressive, and gently rubbed the top of her head with his palm.
She took two steps back, her ankle slamming into the coffee table leg, and she winced in pain, nearly falling backward.
Before she could react, Meng Beiyan had already pulled her into his arms.
The scent of cologne and tobacco mingled together, and she coughed twice, muttering softly, "Why are you smoking again... It smells awful..."
Taking advantage of the moment, Meng Beiyan pulled her into his arms and gently touched her temples.
The setting sun cast a dim, yellowish shadow on the marble outside the window.
Ying Qian tried to push him away.
But to a man who works out regularly, it looks like a cute little kitten patting someone with its paw pads.
"Let me hold you for a while... Ying Qian..."
His voice is much hoarse, and he seems to have lost a lot of weight while on business trips these days.
Meng Beiyan is the second-in-command of the law firm. Some time ago, he took on a family dispute case. Due to an accident, a murder case was also discovered, making things more complicated. If he is not careful, the entire law firm will be ruined along with him.
I haven't slept well for several days while I've been away from home.
Having finally returned, he heard that Meng Xuhe had been beaten and broken by thugs at school. He took a taxi from the airport to the hospital and saw that Meng Xuhe didn't say a word, which made him even more depressed.
When I got home, I received news that my high school friend had died in a car accident.
He smoked two cigarettes, then sat on the floor in silence. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak; he was too grief-stricken to utter a word.
Until I heard the door open.
Ying Qian's brow twitched a few times, and her heart clenched as Meng Beiyan's body trembled.
Meng Beiyan didn't say anything, but she sensed that he must have been having a hard time these days, not eating or sleeping well. Before she knew it, a feeling of heartache welled up in her heart.
a long time.
Ying Qian felt a few drops of scalding tears soaking through her clothes.
A tall man, about 1.9 meters tall, was holding a thin little girl and crying his heart out.
Ying Qian patted his back with her hand.
Meng Beiyan hugged her even tighter, as if Ying Qian was the only thing in his world that mattered to him.
