Yu Xiang hid in the kitchen and wouldn't come out.
Erwa waited outside for a while, then rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Seeing how honest he was, Yu Xiang suddenly smiled.
Fortunately, Erwa didn't press her further about whether she was willing, and the two of them worked together.
After they finished working, Yu Xiang made some delicious food, and Erwa didn't leave; he ate with them.
"You're back so early, you can't stay at school yet, can you?"
"It's okay, I'll just go back to my place."
Yes, she forgot that Erwa has a house outside.
Thinking of this, her worries deepened.
Although Erwa didn't mention much about his family situation, it was clear from the bits and pieces he revealed that his family was well-off.
If one's family is not well-off and one is only attending school in Shanghai, why would they need to buy a house?
It's not just their family background; their family seems to be very harmonious as well.
The more Yu Xiang thought about it, the more panicked she felt.
She didn't think she was bad, but she was already several years older than Erwa.
She also has to run her own small shop. Both her parents have passed away. Given her circumstances, even if Erwa is willing to date her, would his family be willing?
She wasn't ashamed of herself, but that's just how realistic society is.
Even the men that others introduce to her, don't they all subtly criticize her for these things?
Unaware of Yu Xiang's worries, Erwa finished his meal and, as he was leaving, grinned at her and said, "Take your time thinking about it. I'm waiting. But could you please not go on any more blind dates?"
He felt a little guilty when he brought up this request.
Seeing his nervous expression, Yu Xiang's heart softened. "Okay."
Seeing that she had agreed, Erwa left with a beaming smile.
Although he left home early to come here, and could only live alone in his own house, Erwa was secretly delighted.
From that day on, he went to Yu's restaurant every day, and only slept in his own house.
He volunteered to help out at the store every day, and Yu Xiang couldn't very well ignore him when it came to meals.
In fact, Yu Xiang had mentioned that he didn't need to do any work, but Erwa couldn't be driven away, and even said that he was just idling around anyway.
Erwa helps with the work every day, and some regular customers assume that Erwa is someone hired by Yu Xiang.
Yu Xiang could only awkwardly say that Erwa was just a friend who came to help.
From their appearances, no one could tell that there was an age difference between them, so people began to imagine all sorts of things.
Some people praised Erwa as a good young man, which reminded some older people of their own stories from their youth.
If someone likes a girl or is about to get married, and both sides are interested, wouldn't it be a good idea to do a lot of work and make a good impression on the future mother-in-law?
Now that Erwa is constantly helping Yu Xiang, it's kind of a gesture.
Yu Xiang couldn't respond to the teasing from others, but how could she remain completely unmoved?
The men she went on blind dates with didn't come from particularly well-off families, yet they were always finding fault with her.
On the contrary, Erwa, despite coming from a well-off family, showed no resentment towards her and even helped her with chores without any complaints.
She also enjoyed spending time with Erwa.
She would be willing to marry someone as tolerant and easy to talk to as him in the future.
However, considering Erwa's family situation, she still had many concerns and did not agree.
When Erwa's school was about to start, Erwa was a little disappointed that he would no longer be able to come to the store to help out or spend every day with Yu Xiang.
Yu Xiang smiled and said it was nothing. "I was just about to hire someone. You should go back to school and stay there. These last six months after graduation are also very important."
Not getting an answer from her, Erwa was a little disappointed, but after the disappointment came optimism. At least she didn't hear a rejection, right?
Erwa ran back long before his crush, and his roommates teased him, saying he had found true love.
The group became curious about Yu Xiang and wanted to visit Yu's restaurant, but Erwa stopped them.
He was thinking that once Yu Xiang agreed to date him, he could take his roommates to Yu's Restaurant to support her and introduce them to Yu Xiang.
But before that, his roommates rushed over without warning, and he was afraid of offending Yu Xiang.
As for Yu Xiang not agreeing to him, he didn't even dare to think about it.
With the new semester starting, everyone is busy preparing for graduation in a few months.
There are also graduation theses and such, which are a huge headache, and the number of people going to and from the library has increased significantly.
Because of his thesis, Erwa has been going to Yu's restaurant less often.
Although she knew he was busy with his studies, Yu Xiang still felt a little disappointed that he had been appearing less often.
Perhaps because it started during the Chinese New Year, even more people are now introducing potential partners to Yu Xiang for blind dates.
Yu Xiang had promised Erwa that she wouldn't go on any blind dates until Erwa gave her an answer, so she refused all of them.
Some people can't help but feel that Yu Xiang's standards are too high, and they don't know what kind of person she wants to find.
Some people thought Yu Xiang was just making excuses, so they took the initiative to come to the store to meet her.
Erwa took a break from his thesis and went to Yu's restaurant to relax and have a meal. Before he even went in, he heard Yu Xiang arguing with someone again.
"I've told you several times, I have no feelings for you, so please don't come to my shop anymore."
“Miss Yu, you’re not a child anymore. I’m only doing you a favor by coming here again and again. Don’t be ungrateful.”
Erwa walked in with an angry expression.
Yu Xiang was taken aback when she saw Erwa appear.
The man who was arguing with her glanced between her and Erwa and sneered.
"So that's why you've been ignoring me all this time. Turns out you already have someone else."
