Yu Cheng came alone.
He said, "Si Bao couldn't come because he's so busy with school, so he bought some fruit for Mom, saying she was coming, but he didn't come to see. Look at these big apples! He insisted on buying them at the store at the school gate and brought them here for me."
Yu Sui took a look at the apples. They weren't very big, and they weren't even very fresh. She estimated that they would cost more than one yuan. "Where would he get the money? He's really poor. Okay, I'll bring him one when we have dinner later. Tell him not to buy more next time. We're all family, no need to be polite."
When Xia Xiao'e arrived, Yu Sui took a group of people out to a restaurant for a meal. She ordered half a chicken, wrapped it in oil paper, and asked Yu Cheng to deliver it to Wang Sibao when he left.
Xia Xiao'e said nervously, "Sister-in-law, I'll take her there. I just happen to have some study questions that I want to ask Brother Wang."
Yu Cheng turned his head and said to Xia Xiao'e, "What's the problem? Why don't you ask me but him?"
After not seeing her for about a month, Xia Xiao'e had become much fairer. After going to school and hanging out with various announcers, she became much more quiet and reserved in her behavior, looking like a very ladylike girl.
At this moment, she adjusted her hair and secretly glanced at Sun Yuying nearby, but did not answer Yu Cheng's words. She just leaned close to Yu Sui and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I just want to leave early so that you and your family can talk. I don't have any other intentions. Please let me go."
Yu Sui could understand her.
As for Sun Yuying, although she may no longer hate Xia Xiao'e in the short term after being constantly brainwashed by Yu Cheng, her behavior still does not show any grudge against her and she still likes Xia Xiao'e.
Take the time when they went out to eat together. Sun Yuying didn't pay much attention to Xia Xiaoe. On the way, Xia Xiaoe kept calling her "Auntie in-laws", but Sun Yuying just snorted. During the meal, she didn't even look at Xia Xiaoe. When she saw a chopstick picking up food, she quickly picked it up and ate her own food in silence.
This made Xia Xiao'e sitting there with him, which was indeed a bit awkward.
Yu Sui nodded: "Okay, then you go, be careful on the road."
Yu Cheng immediately stood up as well: "It's getting dark. If you really want to go, I'll go with you." After saying that, he picked up his things and left without caring whether Yu Sui was willing or not.
Instead, it was Xia Xiao'e who stomped her feet behind Yu Cheng and pouted at Yu Sui in grievance.
Yu Sui waved her hand: "Alright, alright, it's fine this way. It's really getting darker and darker, and I'm worried. It's better for Yu Cheng to take you there."
Behind him, Sun Yuying let out a long breath.
Yu Sui looked over and saw Sun Yuying feeding a mouthful of duck porridge to Xiao Tangyuan while saying, "Finally, it's over. I'm really not used to it."
Yu Sui: "Mom, what are you not used to?"
Sun Yuying: "I'm not used to seeing Xia Xiao'e like this. In my impression, Xia Xiao'e was dark and short, with messy yellow hair. But today, when I was walking around the yard with little Tangyuan, she came over and called me 'Auntie'. I didn't dare to answer. I thought, who is this? Some fashionable city girl, but it turned out to be Li Afen's daughter. Oh, they don't look alike at all. It's really unusual to be in a big city. Look at her wearing that skirt, so formal, you've never worn something like this, have you?"
Yu Sui smiled: "So, mother, you ignore her because you are not used to it, not because you don't like her?"
"Well, I don't really like her or not. I just think she looks so serious sitting there. I find her strange and unfamiliar. I'm not used to her speaking our dialect anymore."
"Xiao'e is studying broadcasting. The teachers at school are teaching you how to sit and walk. They keep calling you 'Auntie', so you just need to be polite to them."
"Oh, no, I can't explain it. It's strange. When I look at her, I always feel like she'll look down on me if I talk too much."
Yu Sui found it a little funny.
I guess Xia Xiao'e never thought that she would stun Sun Yuying as soon as she appeared.
Yu Cheng, carrying a large bag of food, walked forward, glancing at Xia Xiao'e from time to time.
The early summer breeze blew up the hem of Xia Xiao'e's skirt. Xia Xiao'e walked lightly. After she walked out of the restaurant, she began to sneak around and tried to turn into an alley on the side.
Yu Cheng: "Hey, Xia Xiao'e, what are you doing? The way to Qinghua dormitory is this way."
Xia Xiao'e: "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not going."
"Where are you going?"
"What's it to you, really?"
"Hey, Xia Xiao'e, I'm doing this for your safety, do you know that? What's with your attitude?"
"What's my attitude? I was going to go by myself, but you insisted, so I gave it to you. Now you say I have a problem with my attitude. I think you have a problem with your brain."
"You! Xia Xiao'e, don't think you're great just because you learned broadcasting. Why are you so unreasonable? I saw it was getting dark, and it wasn't safe for a woman like you. Besides, if you go find Wang Sibao, their dormitory is full of men. Wouldn't you be embarrassed? People will think you're Wang Sibao's cousin."
Xia Xiao'e became more and more angry: "Why are you talking nonsense? I just delivered something according to my sister-in-law's instructions. How can you be considered someone else by Brother Wang?"
Yu Cheng's voice was even louder than hers: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, I'm older than you and your brother too, why haven't you ever called me brother?"
Xia Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him: "I don't want to bother with you! Then I'll go home first."
Yu Cheng chased after him: "Hey, aren't you going?"
"No. Go by yourself."
"You...are such a jerk!"
Seeing that she was really heading towards Yu Sui's house, Yu Cheng said nothing more and followed her silently.
Xia Xiao'e couldn't take two steps before she saw Yu Cheng and stopped, frowning: "Why are you following me again?"
Yu Cheng: "Don't say such heartless things. Don't you see what time it is? These alleys are so complicated and the street lights aren't on yet. If someone jumps out, wouldn't it be scary? Anyway, we're going in the same direction. I'll take you home first."
Xia Xiao'e glared at him.
Yu Cheng: "What are you staring at?"
Xia Xiao'e: "Your mother bullies others, so you bully others too!"
Yu Cheng: "I...how did my mother bully me?"
"Of course not. I called her but she ignored me. I wanted to pick up some food for Little Tangyuan but she wouldn't let me. I came home all day but she wouldn't let me hold Little Tangyuan. What on earth does your mother dislike about me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? She is, she is. Hey, Xia Xiao'e, your mother comes to my house and curses people every day, don't you know? Before I came to the capital to study, I saw your mother running to my house and cursing people. I had to persuade her several times. Later, when I left home to study, your mother still came to my house and cursed. In order to save face for several college students in our family, my mother didn't curse back at your mother. So, tell me, your mother is so unreasonable, how could she be happy and like you today?"
