Ouyang Yuan looked at Lu Qingyan expectantly as he spoke. This was how he coaxed his little cousin at home; just one lollipop was enough for her to confess everything. He had given Lu Qingyan the lollipops he had squeezed from his little cousin, so he was sure she would tell.
Lu Qingyan: "..."
Brother Shi, come quick! There's a bad uncle here trying to trick me with candy!
Lu Qingyan ultimately didn't do anything out of line, simply eating her candy quietly. Yes, she's a thrifty and frugal girl; she wouldn't throw away a piece of candy she'd only eaten a bit of, that must be it.
"Yan Yan, tell me about it!"
Lu Qingyan thought for a moment and then began to speak: "I've known Brother Shi for almost twenty years. He was the most handsome person I've ever seen when he was a child, and he's still just as handsome now that he's grown up! He's very smart, very gentle, and takes such good care of me. He..." Lu Qingyan rattled off a whole bunch of things, then shyly covered her face.
Ouyang Yuan was dumbfounded. Wasn't he supposed to tell Shi Yuming embarrassing stories from his childhood? How did it all turn into praise?
Lu Qingyan saw through Ouyang Yuan's idea of embarrassing Shi Yuming at a glance, but since he only asked her to talk about Shi Yuming's childhood, what she said herself clearly counted.
"Yan Yan!" Shi Yuming appeared just in time to Lu Qingyan's side, handing her a paper package and taking out a bottle of water for her. Then he looked at Ouyang Yuan: "You've been in Sheng Ying for so long, but this is the first time you've come so early."
Ouyang Yuan pursed his lips, braced himself against the tree trunk beside him, and leaped onto it. He laughed, "I only came to see your adorable Yan Yan, didn't I? Yan Yan is so cute, having another brother like me isn't so bad, is it?"
Shi Yuming reached out and pulled Lu Qingyan back a little: "Ouyang Yuan, mind your own business. Yan Yan is mine alone. Don't even think about it."
Lu Qingyan stood aside, rubbing her hands together, wondering who she should help if a fight really broke out. Just thinking about the battle between the male lead and the male supporting character was so exciting!
However, the two did not end up fighting because the school bell rang.
To walk faster, Shi Yuming simply squatted down and carried Lu Qingyan on his back.
“Yan Yan, I can carry you faster this way. If you don’t understand anything since you’ve just arrived at school, you can ask me. If you want to do something, ask the people around you for help. Even though it’s inconvenient for you right now, you still need to know that you should take good care of yourself.”
"Yes, Butler Shi!" Lu Qingyan said, reaching out to tug at Shi Yuming's ear, pouting, "I'll definitely listen to Butler Shi, study hard, and take good care of myself, okay?"
"Okay, it's good that you know." Seeing that Lu Qingyan had agreed, a hint of doting flashed in Shi Yuming's eyes, and he quickened his pace.
The noisy classroom fell silent upon the arrival of a new student. All eyes instantly turned to Lu Qingyan, and everyone began to chatter amongst themselves.
"Look, look! Ming Shen actually brought a girl to our class."
"It's true! That girl is so lucky."
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that the person has difficulty walking? Maybe Ming Shen was just being kind and didn't even know her properly."
"What's wrong with you? Why are you thinking like that? Even if Ming Shen has some kind of relationship with her, it's none of your business." A girl with short hair shouted from the front, "If you're not happy about it, go talk to the teacher."
"Hahaha," laughter erupted all around.
"Why did you call the teacher here?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Of course, we should change their seats so that the person you were fantasizing about can get closer to the source!"
