Chapter 269 The Pseudo-Student's Black Moonlight Goddess 19
As the door opened, Zhuang Yan looked back. When he saw Qiao Hong, he immediately stood up with a faint smile on his face. He said politely, "Good afternoon, Uncle Qiao."
Qiao Hong nodded and said with a smile, "Zhuang Yan is here!"
But after he finished speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen, leaned close to Xia Qinghong's ear and said, "Why do I feel like Zhuang Yan is acting weird today?"
While cooking, Xia Qinghong asked, "What's so strange? Isn't Zhuang Yan always like this?"
Qiao Hong's gaze turned to the living room again, and he saw Zhuang Yan carefully peeling grapes for Shen Xinran. Shen Xinran accepted all the grapes and ate one by one, enjoying Zhuang Yan's unique care.
This made Qiao Hong frown, "Zhuang Yan and Zi Xiao are too close? What boy would peel grapes for a girl?"
Xia Qinghong subconsciously retorted, "Qi Hao even peeled grapes for Zi Xiao! Zhuang Yan and Zi Xiao are in the same class now, and they sit at the same table. It's normal for them to be close!"
Qiao Hong sighed and said, "Zi Xiao and Qi Hao are siblings, how can they be the same! Qi Hao didn't peel grapes for Zi Xiao, and Zi Xiao wanted to hit him."
Qiao Hong glanced at the two people in the living room again and said cautiously, "Do you think... did Zi Xiao beat Zhuang Yan behind our backs?"
Xia Qinghong thought Qiao Hong would say something outrageous, but she didn't expect him to actually suspect her daughter of hitting someone.
Xia Qinghong almost laughed out loud, "Can't you just hope that Zixiao is okay? You forgot, Zhuang Yan is a very attentive kid. When he first came to our house for dinner, he didn't eat a single bite and peeled all the shrimp for Zixiao."
Qiao Hong still felt something was wrong, and a bold idea emerged in his mind: Could it be that Zhuang Yan liked his daughter?
But he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, Zhuang Yan was one of the few people who had witnessed Zi Xiao in action. Just like Qi Hao said, how brave must he be to like his daughter?
I originally sent my daughter to learn Taekwondo because I thought she was so beautiful and wanted her to be able to protect herself in the future. Who would have thought she would be so good at it?
If Zi Xiao didn't care about her image at school, he would really be afraid that she would become a school bully.
Therefore, it is more likely that Zi Xiao threatened Zhuang Yan. Thinking of this, Qiao Hong couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Hong came out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa, his eyes looking at Zhuang Yan from time to time.
Finally, he couldn't help himself and said in an apologetic tone: "Xiao Zhuang, I spoil Zi Xiao too much. If he bullies you, just tell me and Uncle Qiao will help you speak up for her!"
Zhuang Yan was still helping Shen Xinran peel grapes. After a moment of hesitation, he replied with a smile, "Uncle Qiao, Zi Xiao didn't bully me."
Zhuang Yan's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene where Shen Xinran cornered him and kissed him. Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes began to turn red. If this was that kind of bullying, then he would be happy with it.
Little did he know that it was his appearance that made Qiao Hong more determined in his decision. Look at how Zi Xiao bullied Zhuang Yan, and he even helped cover up for her in front of him. She was about to cry!
Qiao Hong felt more and more sorry for Zhuang Yan, so during the meal, he kept picking up food for Zhuang Yan and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Zhuang, you are so thin. It's time for you to grow. Eat more meat."
Zhuang Yan sat up straight, "Thank you, Uncle Qiao."
Qiao Hong continued to smile and said, "There's no one to cook at your house, so you should come to your uncle's house for dinner more often in the future!"
Zhuang Yan said cautiously, "My grades aren't very good, and my teacher asked Zixiao to help me improve them. Can I come to Zixiao to do my homework in the future?"
Qiao Hong laughed and said, "Of course, no problem. If you don't understand anything, just ask Zi Xiao and let her teach you."
Shen Xinran couldn't help but look up and glanced at Zhuang Yan. The thought of "she teaches the male lead" flashed through her mind, and then was replaced by her own chuckle. The male lead taught her almost!
The corners of Shen Xinran's mouth unconsciously curled up into a mischievous arc, and she poked Zhuang Yan's waist with her hand hidden under the table.
This poke not only made Zhuang Yan's breath pause, but also made his cheeks flush unnaturally. He reached out and held Shen Xinran's fingers, gently pinching them.
After seeing this, Qiao Hong asked Zhuang Yan with concern: "Zhuang Yan, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
Shen Xinran's playful nature was aroused, and she tickled Zhuang Yan's palm with her fingers. The boy's heartbeat seemed to be even more intense at this moment.
Zhuang Yan shook his head, his voice trembling slightly. "No, it's just that the weather is too hot today."
Shen Xinran bit her lip and held back her laughter.
After dinner, Xia Qinghong started to clean up the dishes. Zhuang Yan stood up and rushed to wash the dishes. "Auntie Xia, let me do it."
A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Qinghong's face. "You're a guest, how can I ask you to wash the dishes?"
Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Aunt Xia is already very hard-working in cooking, so just leave things like washing the dishes to me."
Seeing Zhuang Yan pick up the bowl and go into the kitchen, Xia Qinghong couldn't help shaking her head and sighed: "What a sensible child!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Qiao Qihao who was watching TV on the sofa and asked, "Why can't you learn from Zhuang Yan?"
Qiao Qihao chuckled, "I want to learn how to play games from him, but he won't teach me. How about you talk to him?"
Xia Qinghong raised her hand, wanting to teach her youngest son a lesson.
But Qiao Qihao had foresight and quickly jumped off the sofa. He even smiled mischievously at Xia Qinghong, "Haha, you can't hit me!"
Xia Qinghong rolled her eyes at Qiao Qihao.
After Zhuang Yan finished washing the dishes, he said goodbye. "Thank you, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Xia, for your hospitality. I'm going home first."
Xia Qinghong nodded and said with a smile, "Come again next time."
How could Zhuang Yan, who was so good, not be his own son? Sometimes he really wanted to swap that brat Qiao Qihao with Zhuang Yan.
Watching Zhuang Yan's leaving figure, Shen Xinran shouted towards the balcony, "Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a while."
After she finished speaking, she opened the door, trotted upstairs, and blocked Zhuang Yan in the hallway. She asked him, "The final exams are next week, you're not going to ask for leave, are you?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head and said in a steady tone, "No leave."
Shen Xinran breathed a sigh of relief. If the male lead took leave for the exam, he would definitely be assigned to Class D next semester. She patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder and said seriously, "Then you must prepare well, and don't misjudge your score again."
Zhuang Yan nodded and said "hmm".
Seeing Zhuang Yan like this, Shen Xinran wanted to tease him again. She stretched out her hand and said delicately, "You pinched my hand until it turned red. You need to apologize to me!"
Zhuang Yan's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Then... I'm sorry."
