While others were horsing around, Yu Yuanxi was plowing away at work.
When others were eating, he was busy grilling meat.
Yu Yuanxi had not had a bite by the time others were almost done clearing their plate.
Song Wenye may seem like a goofball on the surface, but she was a sensitive soul with great empathy for others. She approached Yu Yuanxi. “Give it over. Go have something to eat.”
Dumbstruck, Yu Yuanxi smiled warmly at her. “It’s okay. I can do it. You should go and enjoy the food.”
With her nerves already on edge, Song Wenye snatched the barbeque fork and shot him a glare. “I told you to eat, so stop the crap.”
“Thank you.” Yu Yuanxi nodded his head and had the desire to laugh.
The girl had a pair of adorable snaggle teeth. She was not at all fierce despite her best efforts and in fact, appeared cute, making her seem as harmless as a cub.
Yu Yuanxi knew who she was – Song Wenye, the lady boss of the international class. He felt a sense of discord every time she strutted around with that cute babyface.
“Lil Yu.” Yun Jinping called out to him.
“Aunty.” Yu Yuanxi took a glance at Song Wenye and smiled before advancing towards Yun Jinping.
“I made you a bowl of noodles. Come and eat. You’ve been busy all day!” Thinking of him as family, Yun Jinping ushered Yu Yuanxi into the house and placed the bowl of noodles on the table.
Song Wenye stopped where she was and scoffed.
She seemed to have put her finger in the pie and overdid on the sympathy. He was not interested in the barbeque and hotpot at all rather than being too occupied to have the time.
Shen Xi walked over to lend Song Wenye a hand. “Yu Yuanxi can’t have spicy food or anything heavy. My mom made him noodles.”
Song Wenye snapped back. “What does it have to do with me?”
Shen Xi let out a hinting smile. “It has nothing to do with you.”
Did Song Wenye think she was blind and did not notice that the former was stealing glances at Yu Yuanxi?
Song Wenye solemnly gave her a warning. “Don’t be ridiculous. I felt sorry and sympathetic towards him. You can ask Pei Xu if you don’t believe me. I feed the strays in the neighborhood every day.”
Shen Xi lifted a brow. “Did I say something?”
Peeved, Song Wenye yelled through clenched teeth. “I’m not into him!”
The international class students looked over. These onlookers were dying to find out what had happened and who was interested in who.
Caught between embarrassment and rage, Song Wenye glared at them viciously. “What are you looking at? Go back to eating!”
A few girlfriends ran over, wanting to know what had taken place but they were squished by Song Wenye. Hence, they pitifully rushed to seek comfort from Shen Xi.
“I have no idea.” Shen Xi appeared innocent and harmless.
The girlfriends were itching to know the gossip. Nevertheless, they had no choice but to walk away, knowing well that Shen Xi would not let up on anything.
When the fun party was over, Song Wenye and Pei Xu instructed the gang to clean up the trash all over the courtyard. Thanks to the many pairs of hands, the place was soon straightened out nicely.
“Who is Cloud Seven?” Yu Qiubai caught up with Shen Xi who was throwing away the trash.
Shen Xi coldly peered at him. “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know the scriptwriter of your company?” Yu Qiubai narrowed his foxy eyes as he fascinatingly sized her up with a cunning smile.
Giving him a side glance, Shen Xi would not give him a straight answer. “Are you full?”
“Yes, I am.” Yu Qiubai finally realized what she was implying.
The girl was implying that he was full of hot air!
Shen Xi had just moved away when the sound of his footsteps chasing up to her ensued.
D*mn fox. What was he up to now?
