After everyone arrived, they prepared to sit down. Xue Jiayu was very polite and knew to let the guests sit down first.
Jiang Peirong touched her face lovingly, "Our little Jiayu is the best. Don't let those young boys fool you anymore. Will you be my daughter-in-law?"
Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyu naturally just took it as a joke and agreed with him with a smile.
"That's great, I would love someone as handsome as Nan Qi to be my son-in-law."
"Then it's settled!"
Xue Jiayu stole a glance at Zhan Nanqi, but he didn't react at all, his face still as cold as ever.
She pouted quietly, what? No reaction at all.
Xue Jiayu climbed onto the chair, and Ying Huanyu immediately rushed to the seat next to her. Just as she was about to sit down, someone suddenly got there first.
"This is my...seat!" Ying Huanyu puffed up her cheeks, but Zhan Nanqi was not afraid at all.
He naturally sat next to Xue Jiayu. Ying Huanyu wanted to get his seat back by crying loudly, but Xue Jiayu quickly coaxed him:
"Xiaoyu, don't cry. Let's sit like this for now. After dinner, I'll go upstairs with you to play with dolls, okay?"
Ying Huanyu then sniffed and confirmed, "Are we the only two?"
Xue Jiayu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yeah."
"Great!" Ying Huanyu sat opposite Zhan Nanqi with the attitude of a winner and raised his eyebrows at him.
So what if you sit next to my sister? My sister said she would play with me for a while!
There was a hint of disdain in Zhan Nanqi's eyes that was inconsistent with his age.
"Try this roast chicken. Mom and I spent two hours researching and baking it."
Jiang Qiuyu tore off a chicken leg for Xue Jiayu, and Xue Jiayu handed it to Zhan Nanqi without saying a word.
"Brother Nanqi, you eat."
Before, Aunt Jiang had hardly given Zhan Nanqi anything good to eat when she was taking care of him. She bought a lot of delicacies from land and sea, all of which were reimbursed by Zhan Aoxiang and his wife, and in the end, they all went into the stomach of that old witch. Xue Jiayu felt distressed whenever she thought of this.
"Sister, I want to eat too."
Ying Huanyu looked at Xue Jiayu unhappily, his eyes full of accusations.
"I'll give you another one!"
Xue Jiayu quickly broke off another chicken leg and put it in Ying Huanyu's bowl. Only then did she smile.
"I know my sister loves me the most~"
Zhan Nanqi didn't say anything, but just silently pushed the chicken leg aside.
"Why don't you eat the chicken legs? Don't you like them?" Xue Jiayu looked at him curiously with her big eyes.
"Oil."
Xue Jiayu said excitedly: "It's not greasy, just peel off the skin on it! Mom, help him peel it off!"
If she wasn't too small and had difficulty moving, she would really like to help Zhan Nanqi tear it.
Jiang Qiuyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiaobao showed no mercy in using his mother to fight Nanqi.
But Xiaobao had already spoken, so if she didn't do it, wouldn't it make Xiaobao lose face? So Jiang Qiuyi followed Xue Jiayu's instructions, helped Zhan Nanqi tear the chicken skin, and tore the chicken thigh meat into strips and put them in his bowl.
Xue Jiayu looked at him expectantly, "Eat quickly!"
Zhan Nanqi then took a bite out of respect, and when he met her passionate eyes, he could only reluctantly give a reaction.
"tasty."
"Yeah, Mom, can we do this tomorrow?"
"good."
Jiang Qiuyu agreed with a smile. As long as her daughter was happy, what couldn't she do?
After dinner, Zhan Aoxiang and his wife took Zhan Nanqi home and were very grateful to the Xue family for their hospitality.
"You two are being distant when you say that. How about we take turns picking up and dropping off the two children at school?"
Jiang Peirong was the first to raise her hand in support, "That's fine with me! There are four adults in our family, and everyone has a car, so we can take turns picking up the kids, so that no one of us will be too tired.
In the days that followed, the adults took turns to pick up and drop off the three children at school every day and then bring them back safely.
Under the manipulation of the Xue family, Ying Huanyu was in the same class as Xue Jiayu. Xue Jiayu originally wanted to go find Zhan Nanqi whenever she had the time and opportunity, but since Ying Huanyu went to school with her, he would stick with her during every break.
Seeing that Xue Jiayu was about to leave the classroom again, Ying Huanyu immediately stopped her.
"elder sister--"
Xue Jiayu patiently asked, "What's the matter?"
"My shoelaces won't untie."
Ying Huanyu looked at her pitifully, so Xue Jiayu had to squat down and patiently help her untie her shoelaces.
"See, now it's untied, isn't it?"
"Sister is awesome!"
Ying Huanyu clapped her hands happily and Xue Jiayu smiled at her.
Xue Jiayu was about to leave the classroom when she heard the bell ring. The teacher came in and said with a smile, "Students, class is starting now. This is a craft class."
Helplessly, Xue Jiayu had to return to her seat and did not see the sly smile on Ying Huanyu's lips.
During every break that followed, Ying Huanyu could find an excuse to get Xue Jiayu to stay with her.
But her reasons were very legitimate. Although Xue Jiayu felt something was wrong, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Ying Huanyu did not do it on purpose.
It was lunchtime when I finally met Zhan Nanqi. The kindergarten students all ate lunch in class.
Knowing that Jiang Peirong was busy, Jiang Qiuyu took the initiative to take on the task of bringing meals to Zhan Nanqi. She wanted to do it for Xue Jiayu and Ying Huanyu anyway.
However, Zhan Nanqi is allergic to peanuts, so Jiang Qiuyi will be extra careful when cooking and will not put peanuts in his portion.
Xue Jiayu opened the cute lunch box and found that there were no peanuts in the rice balls inside. She immediately realized that Jiang Qiuyu had taken her and Zhan Nanqi's lunch boxes by mistake.
She had to deliver it to Zhan Nanqi quickly to prevent him from eating the meal.
Ying Huanyu just came over with her lunch box when she saw Xue Jiayu rushing out of the classroom and quickly shouted, "Sister—where are you going?"
"Mom took the wrong lunch box. I'll go exchange it with Brother Nanqi!"
Xue Jiayu left in a hurry after saying this. Ying Huanyu bit her lip and pouted, looking very unhappy.
"Get out of the way!"
The little boy next to Ying Huanyu is called Huzi. He is usually spoiled like a little emperor at home and has a bad temper.
Ying Huanyu was unhappy about Xue Jiayu going to Zhan Nanqi, and she curled her lips and said, "I won't let you!"
Hu Zi immediately pushed her, "How dare you!"
“I… wu…”
Ying Huanyu sat on the ground and cried loudly, but she was not at home now and no one came to comfort her.
Only the teacher came over to take a look, helped her up, and brushed the dust off her clothes, but did not scold Hu Zi at all.
Those who can enter international schools all have some background in their families. Hu Zi's parents are in the political field and they cannot afford to offend them. Ying Huanyu can only bear with it.
"Huanyu, the teacher sees that you are not injured. Can you go back to your seat and eat first? Huzi didn't mean it. Don't bother with him."
Ying Huanyu pouted and wanted to cry, but seeing that Xue Jiayu was not there, she had to hold it in and returned to her seat to eat in a depressed mood.
Xue Jiayu ran to the door of the freshman class and looked inside on tiptoe, but did not see Zhan Nanqi.
