Ruan Ling urgently pulled Ye Xu into the group, and did not hesitate to clear himself and transfer firepower: the group was pulled by Chen Songyang, and it had nothing to do with her.

When he got out of the car, Ye Xu's expression finally improved a lot, but he still looked a little sullen.

Chen Songyang was looking for a hot pot restaurant, and he didn't book a private room, so he sat in the noisy hall.

As soon as the two walked into the store, Chen Songyang immediately saw Ruan Ling with sharp eyes, and his loud voice penetrated the crowd and came to the door: "Auntie!" Brother Xu! We're here! ”

Waiting for Ruan Ling and Ye Xu to approach, Chen Songyang patted the empty space beside him again: "Brother Xu, you sit here, let Auntie sit in the row next to you." ”

The table at the hot pot restaurant is a square table, and there are booths on three sides of the table.

Su Junruo and Qiao Yue sat together, and Chen Songyang was in a separate row, with an empty seat next to him, which was reserved for his good brother.

Chen Songyang thought very well, the empty row of booths for Ruan Ling to sit, so that Brother Xu was right between him and his aunt.

However, Ye Xu glanced at Chen Songyang and did not go to that position, but sat silently on the empty row of card seats.

Ruan Ling also Shi Shiran walked over and sat next to Ye Xu, and handed Chen Songyang a meaningful look by the way.

Chen Songyang: "......"

This mother and son teamed up to bully him!

Okay, who let him forget Brother Xu first, he can't blame others.

Chen Songyang grinned: "Brother Xu, what do you want to eat?" You and Auntie order first! ”

"By the way, we have just ordered the bottom of the pot, mandarin duck pot!" Chen Songyang quickly recovered his spirits, "Su Junruo and Qiao Yue can only eat a little spicy, I eat red pot!" Auntie, what about you? ”

Ruan Ling: "I also eat red pot." ”

"That's just right!" Chen Songyang said, "After a while, I asked the waiter to put the red pot on our side, and it just so happened that Brother Xu had suddenly become spicy recently......"

Chen Songyang's mouth kept reading in fragments, the words were many and dense, and he didn't think much about it.

Su Junruo looked at Ruan Ling in a daze, as if he had suddenly figured out something.

Therefore, Ye Xu's taste has changed recently, and he has started to eat spicy food, also because of his mother?

She felt a little sour in her heart, but also a little relieved.

It turns out that Ye Xu will also change for others, but he has never changed for her.

A few people ordered the dishes, and the efficiency of the restaurant was very fast, and the dishes were full in a short time.

Chen Songyang actively put the dishes into the pot while inviting himself to take credit.

"Brother Xu, you don't know how much work I did today!" Chen Songyang threw a handful of baby cabbage into the clear soup pot, "I cut all those cardboard boxes one by one, then folded them neatly and bundled them together, and swept the ground!" I haven't been so diligent in helping my mom at home! ”

Ye Xu glanced at Chen Songyang and said lightly: "It's quite powerful." ”

"yes!" Chen Songyang rarely heard Ye Xu praise himself so happily, and waved his hand excitedly, and the meal clip in his hand that was used to serve the food almost hit Ye Xu's shoulder.

Ye Xu hid to the side in disgust, and said coolly: "Hmm." It seems that it is enough for you to help alone, and there is really no need to call others. ”

"Uh......" No matter how sluggish Chen Songyang was, he could hear the off-string sound of this sentence.

Today he pulled

Everyone entered the group, but they forgot to call their best brother, Chen Songyang knew that he was at a loss.

So Chen Songyang urgently made up for himself: "It's not, that...... I think it's better for you to come, Brother Xu! Brother Xu, you are good at what you do, and folding cardboard boxes must be better than me! ”

Seeing that Ye Xu didn't react, Chen Songyang hinted at Su Junruo with his eyes again, "You said yes, Su Junruo!" ”

Su Junruo took a sip of sour plum juice elegantly, pouted, and said, "You also know that folding cardboard boxes has no technical content." ”

Chen Songyang glared: "What do you mean to know the folding cartons?" It's also hard to fold those cardboard boxes neatly, okay! At that time, I asked you to come, but you didn't want to, and now you dislike me for being unskilled! ”

Seeing that Su Junruo ignored him, Chen Songyang turned his target to Qiao Yue again: "Did you say, Qiao Yue?" ”

The girl, who was quiet and didn't know what she was thinking, was suddenly called by her name and spoke slowly: "...... Well. ”

"yes!" Finally found someone to identify with him, Chen Songyang was excited, "You see, Qiao Yue also thinks the same as me!" ”

Su Junruo pouted and looked at Qiao Yue: "Qiao Yue, what are you doing to help him speak, you see that he is energetic again." ”

A few people over there kept arguing, and Ruan Ling automatically blocked out the noise.

She glanced at her phone screen and found that there was enough time, so she grabbed a long-awaited beef ball, dipped it in the sauce and took a bite.

After tasting it carefully, Ruan Ling squinted her eyes with satisfaction and looked at Ye Xu: "The balls are delicious!" ”

Ye Xu: "......"

Ye Xu silently picked up the colander, scooped two more balls, and then poured them into the plate in front of Ruan Ling.

Ruan Ling cast an approving look, grabbed one of herself, and raised her chin at the other: "You can eat it too." ”

So Ye Xu picked up another ball with chopsticks, and before he could enter it, he heard Ruan Ling say in his ear again.

"Wait, I think meatballs are better with seafood sauce." Ruan Ling said, "Do you want to try it too?" ”

Ye Xu's hand froze, and then the chopsticks turned around and stretched out to the seafood juice.

Ruan Ling then sandwiched a chopsticks of lamb with shallots, and then recommended it to Ye Xu in the same way.

Ye Xu scooped up another spoonful of mutton, put half of it on Ruan Ling's side, and ate the other half himself.

After taking a sip of orange juice in this way, Ruan Ling suddenly found that everyone else on the table was looking at him.

Ruan Ling raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What's wrong? ”

Su Junruo stared at a pair of apricot eyes, and her face was full of surprise: "No, it's nothing, it's the first time I have seen ......."

Saying that, she glanced at Ye Xu and hesitated.

Chen Songyang took over the words with a shocked face: "It's the first time I've seen Brother Xu like this, like this...... Obedient! ”

He really couldn't find any suitable words to describe the current scene, and finally chose the latter between "well-behaved" and "obedient".

Qiao Yue didn't speak, but there was surprise in her eyes.

Ruan Ling blinked: "Really?" ”

Hasn't Ye Xu always been like this? When she was at home, she also recommended Ye Xu's favorite dishes to eat.

"Yes!" Chen Songyang nodded thoughtfully, "And I've never seen Brother Xu serve food to someone!" Today it's literally the sun coming out in the west

！ ”

Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows, is it so exaggerated?

She turned her head to look at Ye Xu, but she couldn't get a response from the other party's eyes.

Ye Xu was calm, took a piece of mutton with chopsticks, and threw it into the bowl in front of Chen Songyang.

Chen Songyang didn't have time to stop it, so he just cared about shouting: "Hey! Brother Xu, I don't like mutton! ”

Ye Xu looked indifferent: "I know." ”

Chen Songyang: "......"

Well, who told him to be sorry for Brother Xu today, and he just said the wrong thing again.

Chen Songyang made a bitter face, stuffed the mutton into his cheeks, and then his whole face wrinkled, took a deep breath and closed his eyes and swallowed it.

His expressions and movements were too exaggerated, Su Junruo over there couldn't stop laughing, and even Qiao Yue was pursing her lips and laughing.

Chen Songyang finally swallowed the mutton, he took a big sip of the drink, and then said, "Brother Xu! I even ate mutton, so let's even settle it! After eating for a while, let's go back to a double row together, and you can take me to score! ”

……

In the midst of the "laughter", most of the dishes on the table have been wiped out.

Ruan Ling wanted to clip another meatball for herself, but her wrist was touched by Ye Xu next to her.

The young man looked cold and cold on the outside, but his hands were unexpectedly warm, higher than Ruan Ling's body temperature.

"Eat slowly." Ye Xu said, "Don't be like yesterday, you can't walk after eating." ”

Ruan Ling blinked slowly and felt the capacity in his stomach: he was indeed eighty percent full, and he would probably have to eat enough if he ate more.

"Then I'll eat the last two balls!" Ruan Ling thought for a while and said.

Ye Xu: "...... One of them. ”

Ruan Ling is as good as flowing: "Okay, for your sake, then the last one!" ”

Ye Xu turned his face away.

The rest of the table was already surprised.

In this meal, something that surprised them had happened too many times, not less than this one.

The rest of the people were discussing things in the school, Chen Songyang was talking about the gossip in the class, and the topic somehow turned to Ye Xu again.

"You know her, Brother Xu!" Chen Songyang said, "It's the girl who confessed to you on the first day of this semester, the one with a little dark skin and short hair." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Xu to respond, he continued chattering: "On the day she finished the exam, she handed Xu Cheng a love letter downstairs!" A lot of people were watching, and guess what? Someone actually asked her on the spot, why did she empathize so quickly, didn't she still like Brother Xu before? ”

Chen Songyang thought that this was a hot gossip and said it triumphantly.

As a result, the air was quiet for a second.

Su Junruo and Qiao Yue exchanged a look, and they both felt that Ye Xu's mother was still present, saying that this was not very good.

If it weren't for Su Junruo not sitting with Chen Songyang this time, he would have kicked Chen Songyang hard to remind him.

Chen Songyang hadn't reacted yet, he was feeling strange when he told such an interesting thing but no one asked him about the follow-up.

A female voice full of curiosity came: "And then? How did she answer? ”

The person who asked was Ruan Ling.

For a while, several eyes turned to Ruan at the same time

age, some surprised and some complicated.

Only Chen Songyang didn't realize it, he only felt that someone had finally paid attention to him, and he was encouraged: "She said that Ye Xu is good, but not gentle enough." She likes gentleness now, so she only has Xu Cheng in her heart! ”

Ruan Ling asked with interest: "Then what?" What did Xu Cheng say? Accept the confession? ”

"It must have been refused!" Chen Songyang said, "But the refusal was very official, first praising the girl for a long time, and finally saying that he wanted to pay attention to his studies or something." I suspect it's their company's PR tricks for him, one set at a time. ”

Ruan Ling and Chen Songyang asked and answered, which was very smooth

Chang.

Su Junruo and Qiao Yue looked at each other, and came to a conclusion in shock: Ye Xu and his mother really didn't care about what they talked about, on the contrary, they were very interested in gossip.

And Ye Xu wanted to speak several times, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak.

Ruan Ling was still gossiping with Chen Songyang with great interest: "Then usually in your school, the girls who like Xu Cheng should have more than Ye Xu?" After all, Xu Cheng is not only good-looking, but also gentle. ”

"That's not either." Chen Songyang waved his hand, "Although I don't understand girls, they don't seem to like too gentleness." I haven't counted them carefully, but I feel like Brother Xu has received more love letters. ”

Seeing that Ruan Ling really didn't mind, Su Junruo couldn't help but join the discussion.

"I think Ye Xu is much better looking than that Xu Cheng!" Su Junruo said, "And it's not that we don't like gentleness, we don't like Xu Cheng to be gentle with everyone like that!" You're right, Qiao Yue? ”

Qiao Yue silently took a sip of water: "...... I think it's all fine, I didn't think about it. ”

Ruan Ling nodded thoughtfully: "I understand what Su Junruo means, that is—"

Ye Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw a beef ball into Ruan Ling's plate.

Ruan Ling was stunned: "It's not that it was the last ...... just now"

Ye Xu's face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth twitched faintly: "If you like to eat, just eat another one." However, it is best not to talk when eating, otherwise it is easy to flatulent and bad for the stomach. ”

"Okay......" Ruan Ling looked at the beef balls on the plate, and really couldn't let go of a heart that was about to listen to gossip.

"I'll eat the meatballs first." She said, "Go on, I'll listen." ”

Chen Songyang immediately responded: "No problem, Auntie!" ”

Ye Xu: ?

……

Unconsciously, the dishes on the table were eaten by several people while chatting and gossiping.

Before checking out, Ruan Ling got up and went to the bathroom first.

She was just about to sit down when she came back when a gentleman suddenly came up a few tables away.

"This ...... Hello, young lady. The man smiled at Ruan Ling, "I've been paying attention to you for a long time." You should be a teacher around here, right? I also work in this area, in the financial industry. ”

As soon as Ruan Ling entered the restaurant, the man was attracted by her appearance and figure, so he glanced over here from time to time during the meal.

Ruan Ling looked very young, and at first glance she was no different from a few people at the same table. But after carefully observing their eyes and demeanor, they can still see that the remaining few people are middle school students, and Ruan Ling is an adult.

One adult plus several students, no

Parents and children are teachers and classmates, and Ruan Ling doesn't look like a parent of a teenager at all.

Coupled with the fact that there are several middle schools in the vicinity, the man guessed that Ruan Ling was most likely a teacher working nearby.

The man reported that his family was in finance, and he also wanted to imply that he had a lot of income.

He believes that the income of teachers should not be high, and his profession should still be quite attractive to ordinary teachers.

"Little sister, if you don't mind, let's add a contact information?" The man smiled confidently and showed the QR code on his mobile phone, "You can scan me." ”

……

The man appeared so suddenly that several people at the table didn't realize what was going on.

Even Ruan Ling was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been accosted.

From childhood to adulthood, Ruan Ling has a lot of experience in being accosted by strangers. But since she became the so-called wife of a wealthy family, she usually goes out by luxury car, which invisibly isolates a lot of possibilities for being accosted.

This is the first time Ruan Ling has been accosted recently, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation.

Ruan Ling said calmly: "I'm sorry, I'm married." ”

This is a good excuse, she used to think of a reason for refusing people, but now she just uses Ye Jingchi as a shield.

Ruan Ling thought that after he finished speaking, the man would retreat.

Unexpectedly, the man's gaze turned around her fingers, and then a knowing look was revealed.

"It's okay, young lady." The man smiled in what he thought was considerate, "Everyone is just making friends, you don't have to think about it so much." ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

In addition to the engagement ring the size of a pigeon's egg, she and Ye Jingchi also have a pair of wedding rings. But Ye Jingchi never wore it, she was troublesome, and she never wore it.

At this time, several other people at the table also reacted.

The two girls hadn't experienced this scene before, and they didn't know what to do.

Ye Xu's face was particularly dark, if it weren't for the fact that he was sitting in the innermost part and it was inconvenient to come out, it was estimated that he would have stood up and blocked Ruan Ling by now.

Ye Xu frowned and said, "She-"

Chen Songyang was bent on sticking a knife in his brother's ribs, and he had already stood up first, and said solemnly: "This uncle! She's married and has children, so don't be cheeky enough to ask for someone's contact information! ”

He was tall and loud, and he suddenly stood up menacingly, which startled the man.

The man stammered, "You, how do you know-"

Chen Songyang straightened his chest: "Of course I know!" Because she's ......"

The words "Brother Xu's" slipped around his mouth, and it seemed a little weird, like scolding.

And the man on the other side didn't know Ye Xu either, so he didn't feel strong enough when he said it.

Chen Songyang's brain was hot, and he blurted out without thinking: "She is my mother!" ”

……

The man who accosted him was indeed scared away by Chen Songyang's momentum, and returned to his seat in a gloomy manner, not even having time to understand why Ruan Ling looked so young and could have such a big son.

The other people at the table were also frightened by Chen Songyang, and the two girls looked at each other, both with a look of surprise at a loss.

And the leaves

After the initial shock, Xu's face turned iron-blue.

Chen Songyang was also a little embarrassed when he reacted, scratched his head, and didn't know who to apologize to for a while.

"Uh...... Aunt. Chen Songyang muttered, "I didn't mean to, I wanted to help you out of the siege, but I didn't expect my mouth to be faster than my brain for a while......"

Ruan Ling wasn't angry, anyway, it wasn't that she suffered, she just thought it was funny.

It's just that......

"Chen, Song, Yang!" Ye Xu gritted his teeth and glared at his "best brother", his eyes looked like he was going to kill, "Who taught you to recognize your mother casually?" ”

Chen Songyang hurriedly explained: "...... Brother Xu! I was wrong, I didn't mean to! I want to say it's your mother, but I didn't think about it for a while, and said that it was bald! ”

Ye Xu's face was still pale, and his eyes did not tend to ease at all because of Chen Songyang's words.

Chen Songyang's face was like ashes, and he completely gave up struggling.

Not to mention anything else, this week's double row is estimated to be out of play.

.

After eating and drinking, Ruan Ling paid the bill.

The store recommended by Chen Songyang is cost-effective, and the five people are full of food and drink, a total of more than 400 yuan.

Su Junruo and Chen Songyang both had a driver at home to pick her up, Qiao Yue refused the invitation to take her for a ride and took the bus home alone.

The driver also sent Ye Xu and Ruan Ling back to the villa.

Ye Jingchi rarely arrived home before half past nine, and he didn't actually work in the study.

Seeing the two coming back together, Ye Jingchi turned his head from a magazine: "Eating out tonight?" What to eat? ”

Ye Xu nodded.

Ruan Ling answered the latter question casually: "The hot pot I ate, together with Ye Xu and a few children." ”

Ye Jingchi let out a "hmm", and asked lightly: "Didn't you drink the bar this time?" ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

Ye Jingchi looked calm and relaxed, and seemed to just ask casually.

But Ruan Ling felt that this man definitely had something to say!

Thinking of his feat of pretending to be drunk and driving Ye Jingchi out of the bedroom yesterday, he would inevitably be settled by the queen of autumn, Ruan Ling decided to take thirty-six plans and take it as the best policy.

"I just ate hot pot, and my clothes and hair smell all over my body." Ruan Ling complained with a natural expression, "I'll go take a bath, you father and son will talk first." ”

……

There were only two people left in the living room, Ye Jingchi and Ye Xu.

Ye Jingchi's expression became a little softer, and he spoke in a calm tone: "Dinner with classmates today?" ”

Ye Xu: "...... Well. ”

Ye Jingchi bowed: "It's good to go out with friends more during the holidays, just talk to your family in advance." ”

Ye Xu: "Got it." ”

The atmosphere fell silent.

The man who dominates the mall doesn't know what to talk about with his sixteen-year-old son at this time.

Ye Jingchi's mind couldn't help but flash Ruan Ling's appearance, if she was there, what would she say at this time?

If it was Ye Jingchi before, he would probably want to go with the flow, and since Ye Xu didn't want to say more, then he didn't have to ask more.

But at this time, the man thought of what Ruan Ling said, children are all the same, and they all like to be praised.

The little kid...... They all want to be cared for, right? Even if it's just the usual little things.

Ye Jingchi cleared his throat and said softly, "Did you eat well for dinner?" Is there anything you'd like to tell me? ”

Ye Xu first glanced at Ye Jingchi in surprise.

After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "The hot pot is not bad, and there are ......"

Ye Xu paused, and the ghost messenger said: "A man came to our table and wanted to talk to her." ”

It's obvious who this "she" refers to.

Ye Jingchi's expression froze.

I don't know why, Ye Xu felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Ye Xu continued to say casually: "Maybe it depends on the fact that she doesn't have a wedding ring on her hand, so although she was rejected, she still insisted on her contact information." ”

Seeing his father's face, there was a surprised and complicated expression that he had never seen before, Ye Xu felt very happy inexplicably.

"I'm going to take a shower first, too." After Ye Xu finished speaking, he turned around and went upstairs.!
