The sound of their fight reached the restaurant, and they both looked back.
Xia Youyou met Qi Siling's eyes, who was always paying attention to her. She naturally threw him a coquettish glance, which made the man feel itchy in his heart and wanted to grab her in his arms and knead her.
Ignoring his burning gaze, Xia Youyou saw the two people making a commotion in the kitchen.
Cao An seemed to realize something, released the hand that was strangling Xiao Hai's neck, and turned to look towards the restaurant.
Xia Youyou wisely avoided the situation, allowing their eyes to meet. She glanced at Na Ru from the corner of her eye, only to see a faint smile on her gentle and beautiful face. What should she do? If she wasn't even captivated, how could her brother be spared? Of course, this was what she wanted to see.
Sure enough, when she looked at Cao An, he also had a dazed look on his face, his eyes full of astonishment. Then he pulled his lips stiffly, forming an arc that seemed to be a smile, but it made that fierce face look indescribably weird.
She shook her head and sighed, "What a loser."
Naru heard her mumbling, avoiding the burly man's gaze and looking at the little girl beside him, "What did you say?"
Xia Youyou's eyes darted around, trying to figure out what to say. Seeing her finish her meal and move the dishes to the side, he leaned over and whispered, "That's my brother. Don't be fooled by his fierce look; he's actually very gentle, very caring, and very, very capable!" She had introduced him somewhat against her will, so please forgive her. But aside from his somewhat unpleasant nature and his fondness for teasing her, Cao An was truly wonderful in every way.
Those fingers lifted her face and straightened her messy hair, with that faint smile on her lips. "How old is your brother?"
There's hope!
"He's already 26, and my mom is getting really anxious. I tried to arrange a blind date for him before, but he refused. Do you know what he said?"
Na Ru listened attentively and waited for her follow-up with a serious look.
"He said he couldn't find anyone he liked and he wasn't willing to settle."
Na Ru's heart moved, and her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the kitchen. The strong man was kneading dough with his head down, and his serious and focused look made people ignore the fierce look on his face.
Xia Youyou continued, "I just feel like there must be someone out there waiting for him, waiting for him to fall in love, waiting for him to get close." She cautiously glanced back, confirming that Na Ru was indeed interested in Cao An before she shut up. Too much talk leads to mistakes, so let them figure it out on their own. There was still a lot of time ahead, and since they were in the same school, there were plenty of opportunities to get to know each other.
Naru checked the time. It was getting late, and she still had to go back to face her parents' questioning. But she didn't want to leave at all. She had finally met such an interesting person, and she wanted to stay a little longer. But she couldn't. Her parents had only let her out that morning because she had no choice. As soon as she got out, she ran to school without even giving an explanation.
"Youyou, I'm going back first. I'll come and play with you next time."
"Ah? Just leaving?" Seeing her stand up, Xia Youyou quickly grabbed her hand, "Are you going back on foot? Do you want me to ask my brother to take you back?"
Na Rulian waved his hand and refused, "No need, I can just take the bus back by myself." He didn't know the place well enough, so it was not convenient to ask someone to give him a ride.
Xia Youyou no longer insisted and could only send her to the bus stop and wait with her. Qi Siling saw the two of them leave and followed them closely.
The two women walked hand in hand, causing quite a stir on this prosperous street. The neighbors knew Xia Youyou and had always thought she was cute and charming, but they hadn't expected her to be accompanied by an even more beautiful and mature woman. They gathered in groups of three or four, constantly pointing and commenting on the two.
Na Ru seemed to be used to it, and just pulled Xia Youyou forward, listening to her chattering about interesting things on Hua Street.
The two of them stopped at the bus stop, and Xia Youyou held her hand and swung her, "I'm a little reluctant to leave you. What should I do? Do you live on campus?"
"I live on campus and didn't have time to move my things here today. I'll go find the teacher tomorrow." I came in a hurry and haven't prepared anything yet.
"If you need any help tomorrow, be sure to come to me. We are friends now!" Of course, Cao An was asked for help. With her small body, she was considered amazing if she could lift a bucket of water.
"Okay, thank you."
The bus arrived and the two said goodbye reluctantly. Qi Siling rushed over and grabbed Xia Youyou who was about to get on the bus. Only then did she wave to Na Ru at the platform.
"Remember to come see me tomorrow!" Xia Youyou shook off Qi Siling's hand and waved her hands to let Na Ru look over. After making sure she nodded, she let go.
Qi Siling shook his head helplessly and helped her smooth her hair.
Na Ru sat by the window, looking at the two people standing on the platform, one taller than the other, with a touch of envy. The man clearly doted on her. No matter how much she raged, he stood steadily by her side, watching over her, making sure she didn't get hurt. He raised his slender white fingers and waved at her, and then the car slowly started, moving further and further away from them.
"Hey, why are you following me?" Xia Youyou pouted and looked at him dissatisfiedly.
Qi Siling pushed her shoulder with his big hand and turned her around. "Go back first. Weren't you still sleepy just now? It's still early. Go get some sleep."
How could Xia Youyou sleep now? She wanted to go back and ask Cao An what he meant! She followed the force and walked home. She knew that it was not good to have any intimate actions on the street, so she could only hold back her words and walk quickly.
"Slow down and watch your step." Qi Siling followed with big strides, helping her pay attention to the stones under her feet.
After they left the back kitchen corridor, he put his arm around her waist and whispered softly in her ear, "Be good."
Xia Youyou felt an itch in her ears and avoided his breath. "What do you think of Sister Ru?"
"You're asking the wrong person. You should ask your brother." He only had eyes for this little devil and didn't care about anyone else.
All right. Cao An and Xiao Hai were no longer in the kitchen. Only the cook was making steamed buns. I guess she had gone into the house.
"Let's go find my brother!" Xia Youyou grabbed the big hand on her waist and tried to pull him away and move forward.
The two walked to the main hall and saw that the door of Cao An's room was open. The two were reading a book. Xia Youyou quickly walked over and pressed Cao An's shoulder, "Brother~"
The muscles in his hand trembled a few times, and then he was thrown away.
"Xia Youyou! If you want to act like a spoiled child, go and do it with your man!"
"..." She raised her hand awkwardly and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Qi Siling walked up to her and embraced her. With a wave of his hand, he moved a sofa out and took her to nestle in it.
"Cao An! You deserve to be single!" Xia Youyou was angry. She was even thinking of introducing Sister Ru to him!
"Be good, ignore him. He will beg you for help later!" Qi Siling finally understood. Cao An was obviously absent-minded just now, and he had a stress reaction when this girl suddenly pressed his shoulders.
Cao An brushed his hair short and didn't even look back at the two of them. "You two go back to your room."
Xiao Hai rested his chin on the desk and watched the fun, his hands tapping the paper intermittently, which made Cao An's heart confused.
"Can you please stop ordering!" Cao An roared, shocking Xiao Hai.
"Are you crazy?" Xiao Hai stopped and looked at him with a frown.
"Brother Xiao Hai, he's not angry at all, he's clearly in love!"
