He Zhan not only served food to Tang Xinxin, but also used serving chopsticks to serve food to Tang's parents. Others thought he was just being considerate and down-to-earth, but to He Haisheng, who knew him very well, his actions were very unusual!
He had no objection to his uncle finding him a aunt, but... thinking of something, he immediately frowned: "Does this mean I'll really have to call you aunt from now on?"
His bitter and resentful look amused Tang Xiaoxiao, who couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his short, slightly prickly buzz cut, saying, "That's quite possible, so why don't you start getting used to it now?"
When they first met, Grandpa He asked He Haisheng to call her "Auntie." At that time, the two were not familiar with each other, and their families were not particularly close. They could use the excuse of "each family has its own way of addressing the other" to avoid the issue. However, if Tang Xinxin really becomes a family with He Zhan, then they really can't just call each other that way anymore.
He Haisheng wanted to cry but had no tears.
Tang Xiaoxiao's gesture of rubbing He Haisheng's head immediately attracted the attention of several people, who gave her meaningful glances. After all, He Haisheng was a handsome young man who could attract the admiring gazes of countless girls on the street, and he and Tang Xiaoxiao seemed to be a good match for each other.
Although Li Mu had given up on pursuing Tang Xiaoxiao, he still found this scene somewhat jarring and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on between you two?"
Only after he finished speaking did he notice the expression on He Haisheng's face. It wasn't the affection he had imagined; instead, He Haisheng looked conflicted and distressed. He immediately realized that he had probably misunderstood.
Sure enough, He Haisheng wailed, "Ah Mu! Our seniority is going to drop by one level from now on, waaaaah!"
Li Mu was completely bewildered. Tang Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted He Haisheng's nonsense. Tang Xinxin and He Zhan hadn't gone public yet, and she couldn't cause them any trouble. These people were all from the same circle. If He Haisheng were to say this today, the entire upper echelons of City A would probably know by tonight.
Tang Xiaoxiao pinched hard, and He Haisheng immediately winced in pain, unable to say a word. Who could withstand Tang Xiaoxiao's strength when she pinched him? After telling Li Mu, "Don't pay attention to his crazy behavior," she dragged him out of the greenhouse.
Li Mu didn't chase after them. He had impulsively thought the two might have some kind of relationship, but now that it seemed there was no such thing, he naturally had no need to meddle in their private affairs.
That being said, even if there really was something between the two of them, he had no right to interfere, did he?
With a wry smile, Li Mu continued picking fruit with his friends.
Tang Xiaoxiao pulled He Haisheng out of the greenhouse, and with a serious face, she explained the seriousness of the matter to him, warning him: "We still don't know what's going on between the two of them, so don't go around talking nonsense. If your big mouth causes any trouble for them, I don't know if your uncle will beat you up, but I definitely won't let you off the hook, you hear me?"
His uncle will definitely beat him up too!
He Haisheng secretly cursed.
He wasn't stupid; after hearing the threat, he immediately said he wouldn't spread it, and Tang Xiaoxiao let him go.
After an afternoon of fun, everyone returned home satisfied. Although the fruit sold in Tang Xiaoxiao's shop was usually expensive, none of them were short of money and naturally ate plenty of it on a daily basis. However, the feeling of buying fruit from a fruit shop was definitely different from picking it from a tree by hand. Otherwise, why would those fruit picking gardens be so popular? Everyone had been to farmhouses before, but even putting aside the quality issue, those places had limited varieties. Strawberry farms and vineyards were nothing compared to the wide variety of fruits that Tang Xiaoxiao's shop had, which was much more interesting.
