"Let order the food first," Shi Wangyue said.
"Take a shower first." Ning Youguang forcefully pushed him towards the bathroom, "It’s not too late to order after you’re done."
Holding a cup of hot water, Xie Yizun exclaid after Ning Youguang returned to his side, "Sis, you’re living with Brother!"
"..." Caught off-guard.
After silently regretting for half a second, Ning Youguang started interrogating her brother, "Why did you run away from ho?"
Xie Yizun, distracted by her question, forgot to continue asking about her living with Shi Wangyue.
After all, he felt guilty about running away from ho.
"Sis, I don’t want to go to school anymore!"
Ning Youguang asked, "Did you fight with your mom because of this?"
"There’s a lot more." Xie Yizun felt aggrieved, "She’s not good to ; I feel hurt and want to stay away from them!"
— By "them," it seems Uncle Xie is also included.
"How do you feel hurt?"
"She didn’t care much about when I was little, but now she likes to control everything I do, not understanding at all and unsupportive, always interfering with the way she thinks!" Xie Yizun grew angrier as he spoke, "I said I didn’t want to attend tutoring classes; she wouldn’t let . I said I wanted to continue learning guitar and piano; she said I could only choose one. I said I didn’t want to go to school every day, didn’t like our class teacher, asked her to change my class, and she said I was disobedient... Isn’t she annoying?!"
"Annoying!" Ning Youguang’s face was full of understanding.
Her attitude made Xie Yizun feel supported, giving him the confidence to criticize his mom even more.
"Last night she made drink soup, but I didn’t want to. She said she’d cut my allowance. Sis, I feel she’s too domineering. Why should I drink soup just because she wants to? I don’t like soup; I just want to drink soda and juice, is that so wrong?"
"It’s fine." Ning Youguang said, "Of course, it’s fine. It’s your body, you have the right to choose how to treat it."
Xie Yizun continued to rant a whole lot.
By the ti he finished venting about his mom’s ten sins, Shi Wangyue had already finished his shower, and the takeout had arrived.
Xie Yizun was happy too.
"These lamb skewers are so delicious." He ate them in two bites, his mouth covered in oil.
Ning Youguang didn’t have the habit of eating midnight snacks.
So, the one who accompanied the rebellious kid for the snack beca Shi Wangyue.
Shi Wangyue wasn’t very familiar with the now-grown Xie Yizun, but Ning Youguang would sotis ntion things about her brother to him.
So, he wasn’t entirely unfamiliar.
And since they spent ti together when they were younger, and Xie Yizun luckily resembled Ning Youguang a bit, he couldn’t help but care for him.
Xie Yizun, being a teenager, was naturally approachable.
To him, Shi Wangyue was the brother who bought him candy when he was little, his sister’s boyfriend, good-looking and good-tempered, leaving him no reason not to be affectionate.
Therefore, Xie Yizun showed strong affection towards him, speaking warmly.
"Bro, try this lamb skewer; it’s really delicious." He enjoyed the skewers himself but didn’t forget to share one with Shi Wangyue.
"Thanks." Shi Wangyue took the skewer from his hand, "You eat more yourself; we’re not hungry."
"Okay." Xie Yizun bead with joy, "I will finish all of these."
After that, he gulped down so cola.
"It’s aweso being with you guys." He sighed deeply, "At ho with my mom, I can only gnaw on vegetables, worse than a rabbit."
"You only get to enjoy today." Ning Youguang reminded him, "I know you love these, but I won’t let you eat them every day. Letting you eat them every day, I might as well give you a can of poison."
Xie Yizun said, "That’s still better than ho; there’s nothing to eat at ho."
...
After the midnight snack, it was already past eleven at night.
"I’ve booked a room at the hotel outside the school; you stay there with Brother Wangyue tonight." Ning Youguang said to Xie Yizun, who just ca out from the bathroom.
"Alright." Xie Yizun didn’t mind.
"Do you have a change of clothes?"
"No."
"Can you wear mine?" Shi Wangyue asked Xie Yizun, "They’re new."
"Even used ones are fine." In this aspect, Xie Yizun was easy-going, "As long as they’re clean."
Shi Wangyue got up, fetched a spare set of pajamas from the wardrobe, and packed a clean pair of underpants as well.
"Let’s go, ti for bed." He motioned Xie Yizun to head out.
...
Shi Wangyue didn’t sleep well last night—new bed issue.
Lying on the hotel bed outside the University of Science and Technology, he only fell asleep at dawn.
But his biological clock was very punctual; without an alarm, he woke up at six in the morning.
Waking up, he glanced at the rebellious kid sprawled out on the next bed, deciding to take responsibility for the child.
So, he picked up his phone to send a WeChat to Ning Youguang—
[Let Yiyi go with to the company today, you’re busy.]
He knew she had an important eting to organize today and classes to teach, no way to accompany Xie Yizun.
Ning Youguang received a call from Xia Youqing early in the morning, being told she was on her way to the airport, so she woke up early too.
As soon as Shi Wangyue’s ssage ca through, she replied:
[Will it delay your work?]
[Kid: No, I don’t have much work at the company today.]
[Sis: Okay, thanks. Mom’s already on the plane, let’s et up in the afternoon.]
[Kid: OK!]
...
"I still want to sleep." Xie Yizun, called by Shi Wangyue, lazed in bed.
"If you don’t get up now, you’ll have to spend the whole day in the hotel." Shi Wangyue said good-naturedly.
Xie Yizun certainly couldn’t stand that!
He swiftly jumped out of bed.
And hurriedly washed his face and brushed his teeth.
"Bro, what’s the plan for today?" he asked while putting on his jacket.
"You co with to the company first. I’ll take you shopping after handling my work." Shi Wangyue was tying his tie in the bathroom mirror.
To avoid disturbing Ning Youguang early, he had brought all his necessities to the hotel last night.
"Oh." Xie Yizun asked, "Is your company fun, bro?"
"You’ll find out if it’s fun or not when you get there." Shi Wangyue erged from the bathroom.
...
Driver Lao Nie got the news last night and was already waiting with the car outside the hotel.
Seeing his boss lead out a strikingly handso young man, he was full of surprise.
Ultimately, he didn’t ask much but attentively opened the car door for the two.
Shi Wangyue took the initiative to introduce, "This is Youyou’s brother, last na Xie."
Although curious about why Ning’s brother had the surna Xie, Lao Nie knew better than to ask, so he greeted with a smile, "Hello, young master."
The precious young master Xie was used to being pampered, yet wasn’t particularly demanding, "Just call Yizun."
"Alright, young master." Lao Nie was very polite, but the title did not change.
Xie Yizun was used to it and said nothing more.
