Ning Zhigan rubbed his arm in pain. The old lady was really cruel. It left a bruise.
Ning Zhigan looked at the old lady with a face full of grievance, wanting to ask for an explanation, but under the pressure of the old lady's tyranny, he was hesitant to speak, like a young wife.
Old Mrs. Ning glared at him and then trembled like a quail.
Old Mrs. Ning didn't look at him, but looked at Ning Zhihuan and the other two. A hint of warmth crept onto her wrinkled face, and even her sharp eyes seemed kind.
She approached and first quickly glanced at Ning Zhihuan to confirm that she was okay, then looked at the cool and clean young man in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
As for Xiao Yuchi, he stood there indifferently, facing Old Lady Ning's gaze, standing straight and neither humble nor arrogant.
"Little sister, is this your friend? She's so pretty." Before the old lady could speak, Ning Zhigan came over and asked with a smile.
Xiao Yuchi has fair skin and deep facial features. Although she doesn't look feminine, it's not an exaggeration to describe her as good-looking.
Ning Zhihuan's face was stunned for a moment. She looked at Xiao Yuchi and said that they were not really friends. They had only met twice, but if she told the truth, she was afraid that the old lady would ask Ning Zhigan to kick him out.
So she could only nod.
Ning Zhigan wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Old Lady Ning.
"Good, that's great. I said our Huan'er would have a great future. Look, the friend he found has extraordinary temperament." Old Lady Ning patted Xiao Yuchi's shoulder. The latter didn't expect that the old lady was short but very strong.
Ning Zhihuan and Ning Zhigan covered their mouths and laughed secretly, especially Ning Zhigan, who was well aware of the old lady's strength.
"Young man, what's your name?" Old Mrs. Ning asked with a smile, but in Ning Zhigan's eyes, she looked like a delicious human trafficker luring children. He shuddered and felt goose bumps all over his body.
Xiao Yuchi frowned, obviously struggling over whether he should talk to the old lady.
He unconsciously looked to the side. The bright girl who brought him back was looking at him eagerly, as if she was also expecting his answer.
He thought that this old lady had no bad intentions, and coupled with the girl's earnest eyes...
"Xiao Yuchi."
He uttered these three words, his expression still cold and his words were not respectful.
However, Old Lady Ning liked this young man very much. Perhaps this was the first friend that her daughter Huaner brought back.
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Okay, since you are Huan'er's friend, then stay for dinner."
Ning Zhihuan looked at Xiao Yuchi, silently asking for his opinion.
After all, the last time I saw him, I knew he wasn't an ordinary person. He must have been the one to eat most of the time, and I wondered if he could get used to home-cooked meals.
Xiao Yuchi frowned and said after a while, "Okay."
Old Mrs. Ning was delighted and it was settled.
So Ning Zhigan went to find his second aunt and asked her to help prepare the meal. Ning Zhihuan wanted to help but was stopped.
"Why are you, a little kid, causing trouble?" Old Mrs. Ning pretended to be serious and gave her a look, but her eyes were smiling.
Ning Zhihuan curled her lips and playfully stuck out her tongue. However, thinking of Xiao Yuchi still being there, she didn't insist.
Otherwise, if he wasn't here, Xiao Yuchi would be questioned by his grandmother about this and that, and he might get angry.
He doesn't seem like a good-tempered person.
I realized belatedly that I was being spoiled like a child more and more. At first, even acting like a spoiled child was a bit embarrassing, but now I am becoming more... proficient in doing such actions?
Old Mrs. Ning didn't allow Ning Zhihuan to go and help, but she slipped away to go out and help, leaving the two of them staring at each other.
Xiao Yuchi is used to being quiet and aloof, so it's okay if he doesn't talk.
He usually doesn't say many words a day anyway.
Ning Zhihuan, on the other hand, has become more talkative and lively these days under the care of the Ning family.
Ning Zhigan is usually a lively person, the type who will always find something to talk about even if there is nothing to say. Now she is a little uncomfortable with the silence.
The air seemed frozen.
Ning Zhihuan wanted to break the eerie silence, so he asked tentatively, "Are you feeling better?"
Xiao Yuchi seemed to be in a daze just now, but after hearing his words, his eyes gradually came back to focus and fixed on her.
Still cherish words like gold.
"Um."
Okay, the first attempt to start a conversation ended in failure.
Ning Zhihuan didn't plan to let such an embarrassing thing happen again. She just poured him a glass of water and sat quietly beside him.
As for Xiao Yuchi, he just glanced at the water in the worn-out cup and didn't drink it.
The two of them stayed in the room bored. Xiao Yuchi was fine, as he had always been like this.
Ning Zhihuan was a little restless and wanted to use the excuse of helping others to go out for some fresh air. Ning Zhigan and Ning Zhikun came with him.
"Little sister, Xiao...Brother, it's time to eat."
Ning Zhikun was a little hesitant about calling Xiao Yuchi, not knowing what to call him.
He looked older than herself, and had the look of a little adult with a frown on his face, so calling him Xiao Yuchi seemed a bit inappropriate, but after thinking about it, she had no choice but to call him that.
Xiao Yuchi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ning Zhihuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the two of them.
Ning Zhigan touched her head and asked, "Little sister, what did you talk about?"
Ning Zhikun echoed from the side, "Yes, yes, I want to know too. Does he like you, little sister?"
Before Ning Zhihuan could say anything, Ning Zhigan exploded.
"What? He likes me? He doesn't even consider whether he's a good match for me! He's so shabby, so unpresentable, and so dull that he'll definitely never treat me well in the future. He's so pale, he looks like a gigolo!"
Ning Zhikun showed his support for Xiao Yuchi and kept praising him.
At first, the two people lowered their voices for fear of being heard, but later they argued until their faces turned red and they didn't care about anything else.
Ning Zhihuan felt both amused and helpless. She and Xiao Yuchi had only met once, so they couldn't even be considered to know each other, let alone like each other.
Furthermore, she looked back at Xiao Yuchi who was walking not far behind her. Shabby and shabby were completely antonyms to him.
What he was wearing and what he was wearing were obviously high-end goods and different from their cloth clothes.
Looking at his every move and gesture, he was so noble that he really didn't look shabby at all.
As for the pretty boy, it's even harder to describe him. Although he is white, he looks very masculine, with a sharp face and a clear jawline, which has nothing to do with a pretty boy.
It's just Ning Zhigan's criticism of him.
Just when Ning Zhihuan didn't know how to stop it, his second aunt came over and gave each of them a roasted chestnut.
"Why are you yelling in front of the guests? Why are you taking so long to get Huan'er to eat?"
Ning Zhigan and Ning Zhikun covered their heads and looked at their mother pitifully.
