His gaze immediately darkened: he saw Wei Mingshen standing tall at the door.
The moment the two men's eyes met, they saw the hostility in each other's eyes.
"Oh, brother, this is Sister Xue Li's boyfriend. Brother-in-law, this is my brother." He Yulan quickly introduced the two.
Wei Mingshen tilted his head, swung his long legs over to He Yujie's side, and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Wei Mingshen."
He Yujie politely extended her hand to shake his, and said politely, "Hello, He Yujie."
Su Xueli was in a hurry to get to the point and didn't care about the two men. She quickly pushed the young couple into the back room.
He Yujie adopted the air of a host and said to Wei Mingshen, "Please sit down."
Wei Mingshen said "thank you" and sat down, so He Yujie had no choice but to sit down as well.
"Is she your sister?" Wei Mingshen asked.
“Yes,” He Yujie replied.
"So, does that mean you and my wife will still be relatives?"
"Yes, that's right."
Wei Mingshen crossed one leg over the other and said, "Teacher He, we met at the station last time. My wife and I were coming back from the city by train when we ran into you, who was also coming back from out of town."
He Yujie smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
Wei Mingshen said, "I heard from my wife that you two have known each other for a long time."
He Yujie nodded, "Yes."
Wei Mingshen then asked, "Is Teacher He married?"
He Yujie shook his head: "No."
"It should be soon, right?"
"Not fast."
"Why aren't you moving soon?"
"I don't have a girlfriend yet."
"Oh, then it seems we're about the same age, you should start paying more attention to it too."
No rush.
"How can I not be anxious? Look at me, I'm already married. I have companions when I go out and someone to keep me company when I come home. This is the ideal life for an adult."
He Yujie finally couldn't sit still any longer, saying, "Everyone has their own ambitions."
Wei Mingshen crossed his legs and asked, "Is it because Teacher He spends all his time dealing with kids that he doesn't have a chance to meet a girlfriend?"
"That's enough!" He Yujie's temples bulged with veins.
Wei Mingshen squinted, tilted his head, and looked at him provocatively, asking, "What, did I touch a sore spot?"
Looking at this man with ill intentions, He Yujie suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Wei Mingshen, we are complete strangers. Isn't it extremely impolite of you to speak like this?"
Wei Mingshen's smile vanished abruptly, and he said to him, word by word, "I'm not a polite person."
He Yujie frowned, stared at him for a long time, and said, "Then it's best if we see each other less often in the future."
Wei Mingshen laughed and leaned back lazily in his chair. "I thought you were going to come over and punch me."
A hint of disdain flashed in He Yujie's eyes. "I won't resort to violence; my upbringing won't allow it."
Wei Mingshen was embarrassed.
He Yujie whispered towards the back door, "Have you finished talking?"
"We're done talking." The back door opened, and Su Xueli came out.
Then Su Yunfeng and He Yulan came out as well.
He Yujie said to Su Yunfeng, "If you have no objections, you can move to my colleague's house tomorrow. It's getting late, Yulan, come home with me."
He Yulan then said to Su Xueli, "Sister, I'll do as you say tomorrow. It's cold at night, so you and your husband should go home and rest soon."
Then she looked at Wei Mingshen and smiled, saying, "Brother-in-law, you've also caught a chill. I'll give you a trendy new haircut another day as a thank you."
Everyone burst into laughter.
He Yujie nodded to Su Xueli and pushed his sister out of the hair salon.
