The two jogged across the street, and only slowed down after confirming that no one was following them.
Zhang Shu couldn't help but say, "Rongrong, Yan Huai really should get his head checked."
Song Rongrong: "...Don't look at me like that, I'm speechless too."
"No wonder he was attracted to Tong Tong back then; they probably have the same illness."
Song Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Shu: "Seriously, Rongrong, aren't you going to rent a place?"
Song Rongrong shook her head, "No, I'll give you a housewarming gift when you rent a new house."
Zhang Shu shrugged. "Alright, let's go. I heard there's a really good barbecue place at the night market. Let's hurry over there."
They arrived early and there were still seats available.
The owner served the dishes shortly afterward.
Song Rongrong had just eaten two skewers when her gaze suddenly turned straight ahead.
Zhang Shu: "What are you looking at?"
Song Anmin, standing at the door, was caught off guard when his eyes met Song Rongrong's.
Wang Ya urged from the side, "Song Anmin, what are you doing? Hurry up and go choose the vegetables, I'm starving!"
From Wang Ya's angle, she couldn't see Song Rongrong's face clearly, as most of her figure was blocked by the older man at the table in front of her.
Song Rongrong narrowed her eyes slightly and coughed lightly.
Song Anmin glared at her, giving her a look that told her not to say anything out of line!
Zhang Shu whispered, "Hey, who's that handsome guy? He's pretty good-looking."
Song Rongrong twitched her lips. "Oh, my third brother who was unfortunately kicked out of the family."
Zhang Shu: "Huh?"
Zhang Shu only knew that Song Rongrong had an older brother who had been kicked out of the family after the division of property. She never expected it to be him. He looked decent enough, but he must have done something shady!
Wang Ya was sitting with her back to Song Rongrong and the others at their table, so she didn't notice anything unusual.
Today, Song Anmin ran into Wang Ya on her way home from get off work and headed to the night market. Since they were already there, they decided to go eat some barbecue together.
Wang Ya even suspected that the owner had added poppy shells to the seasoning, how could it taste so good?
The people at both tables finished eating almost simultaneously.
Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu said goodbye and parted ways at the night market.
Song Anmin and Wang Ya also prepared to go home.
The brother and sister met after walking a few steps. Song Rongrong looked at Song Anmin and asked, "Third brother, you and Officer Wang, cough cough cough, is it true?"
Song Anmin was speechless: "What are you thinking? We just happened to run into each other after get off work, so we came over to have some skewers together."
Song Rongrong drew out an "Oh," and said, "I see."
"Your expression is up to you, believe it or not!"
Song Rongrong: "Third brother, I won't secretly tell on you. Just tell me, when did this happen?"
Song Anmin sneered.
"If you don't tell on us, then it really is like a sow climbing a tree!"
Song Rongrong snapped angrily, "Song Anmin, speak properly! Do you even know who's standing in front of you?!"
"Who is it? The head eunuch? The eunuch who controls whether I can go home?"
Song Rongrong was so angry she almost laughed. She punched the third brother on the shoulder and yelled, "Shut up!"
The brother and sister bickered as they walked, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening when they returned to Heping Lane.
As they approached the Song family's house, the third son couldn't help but wonder, "By the way, the two kids are almost a year old, right? Dad, Mom, are you planning to have the celebration at home or invite guests out for dinner?"
Song Rongrong: "It should be Phoenix Pavilion."
Song Anmin responded with an "oh".
"By the way, is Qiu Min's wife about to give birth?"
Song Qiumin's wife got pregnant in September, so she was due to give birth in June.
"Maybe another month." Song Rongrong's eyes were suspicious. "Third brother, what are you planning to do?"
"Song Rongrong, watch your eyes! What could I possibly be doing? Can't I show some concern for my family?!"
Song Rongrong: "Don't overreact like that, I was just asking casually."
When they arrived at the Song family's house, the gate was closed.
Just as Song Rongrong was about to push the door open and go in, the third brother warned her, "Don't talk nonsense."
Song Rongrong: "What?"
Song Anmin gritted his teeth: "We just happened to run into each other about having dinner with Wang Ya."
"Oh." Song Rongrong didn't care at all. "Don't worry, I'll definitely say you had a very innocent meal."
Song Anmin was so angry his liver hurt. "You brat!"
Grandma Song's voice came from inside, "Rongrong, who are you talking to?"
"Grandma is fine, it's just my third brother. I ran into him on my way home from get off work."
Grandma Song: "Come in quickly, your mother made braised beef tonight."
Song Anmin's eyes lit up. "Grandma, I'm hungry!"
Xu Guiying shouted towards the door, "If you're hungry, go back and eat!"
Song Anmin: "..."
Song Rongrong burst into laughter.
"Third Brother, Fourth Sister, what are you doing here?"
Song Xiaoxiao rode in on her bicycle.
Song Rongrong: "Xiaoxiao, why are you so late today?"
Song Xiaoxiao: "Oh, I went to my grandparents' house for dinner today."
Song Xiaoxiao got along well with Mo Hong's parents. Since Mo Hong didn't have any children, his parents treated Song Xiaoxiao like their own granddaughter.
"What about Third Aunt and the others?"
Song Xiaoxiao: "They're buying fruit outside. I'm too lazy to wait for them; I need to go back and study."
Song Xiaoxiao's enthusiasm for learning is no less than that of Song Rongrong and Song Yingying back then.
Song Anmin felt ashamed of himself. "Xiaoxiao, you should pay attention to balancing work and rest."
"Third Brother, I'll treat dinner tonight as a rest."
Xu Guiying called from inside, telling Song Xiaoxiao to come in and eat braised beef.
"Auntie, I'm here!"
Song Anmin: "..."
He, Song Anmin, was the only one in the entire world who was injured.
Song Rongrong couldn't help but laugh. She patted the third brother's shoulder and sighed, "Third brother, don't be too discouraged. I'll bring you some beef when I have the chance in the future."
Song Anmin scoffed: "Thank you? No need!"
After saying that, Song Anmin turned and left gracefully.
Song Rongrong entered the house after Song Xiaoxiao.
Xu Guiying asked, "How did you run into Lao San?"
"We all went there to eat barbecue skewers, and we just came back anyway."
Grandpa Song casually asked, "Who did Xiao San go with?"
Song Rongrong: "He's a friend, I think."
"Male or female."
"I didn't see it clearly."
Xu Guiying and Grandma Song exchanged a glance. "Something's fishy."
Song Rongrong: "...It seemed to be a man, there were a lot of people in the store at the time."
Song Xiaoxiao didn't join their conversation, focusing instead on eating the beef. "Wow, Auntie, your cooking is so delicious!"
Xu Guiying: "We'll pack some to take back later."
"Okay."
