Chapter 6
Yuan Xi knows that Pi Hui is a good person and is afraid that she will feel lonely here. Although Pi Hui can be a bit lazy at times and tends to ramble, she is genuinely kind, especially towards her. In fact, Pi Hui's family is local to this city, and she could easily choose not to rent a place. Even if she were to rent, she could do so with her boyfriend. The main reason she is living here is to help alleviate some of Yuan Xi's financial burden, as the housing prices in this city are truly exorbitant
Zhang Heng laughed, "What’s going on? You’ve already protected them? How many times have you even met them? And you’ve already protected them?"
Thank you very much
"Boyfriends also develop from male friends!" Pi Hui said, seeing Yuan Xi roll her eyes, quickly chuckled and added, "Aren't I just worried about you!"
Zhang Heng sighed weakly, raised his hand in surrender, thought of Yuan Xi, and then smiled as he asked: "Tell me the truth, are you really interested in that little girl? If not, I might just make my move!"
"You take things seriously with others, but she cannot," said Bu Huaiyu
After coming out from Yuan Xi's place, Bu Huaiyu drove Zhang Heng back. Zhang Heng looked at Bu Huaiyu but remained silent, only smiling mysteriously. Bu Huaiyu caught a glimpse of Zhang Heng smiling at him from the corner of his eye but continued to focus seriously on the road, ignoring Zhang Heng. In the end, it was Zhang Heng who could no longer hold back and asked him: "How come you are so composed? Didn't you see me smiling at you?"
After sending off Zhang Heng and Bu Huaiyu, Pi Hui finally demonstrated a spirit of humanitarianism by helping Yuan Xi clean the kitchen. Holding a cloth, he symbolically wiped the countertop and suddenly said: "Xi, these two people are quite good, have you considered them carefully?"
Zhang Heng was so irritated that his teeth itched, saying: "Do you know what wish I made on my birthday today? It was to see you lose your composure just once, instead of always wearing that expression as if you have everything under control. Damn it, I've had enough of it. I said, Bu Huaiyu, can you change your expression for once?"
Zhang Heng has decided to quit, "Hey! You need to clarify your words, what about my girlfriends? Besides, even if I am a playboy, does that mean I can't be serious? I just think Yuan Xi is really great; a girl like her is definitely someone to marry and bring home as a wife"
"What should I supplement for you? Hehe, what should I supplement?" Yuan Xi's words were also sharp, "Next time I will supplement you well, I see you just need to supplement your kidneys!"
How attentive she is! Last time I merely mentioned that you have a stomach issue, and look, she remembered to make you some nourishing soup for your stomach. I think this girl is most likely interested in you. " Zhang Heng continued, "Hey, can you say something, you brat?"
Yuan Xi nodded, "Mm."
Bu Huaiyu then turned to look at Zhang Heng. Although a faint smile still lingered on his face, his voice was steady yet somewhat serious, "You should refrain from causing her trouble; she is not one of your girlfriends."
Mentioning her mother instantly made Yuan Xi feel irritated, as if a flame had suddenly flared up. She casually threw down the cloth in her hand and exclaimed, "Pi Hui! What is wrong with you today? Can you stop always talking about my matters? Didn't Xiao Moting invite you out?"
Then why don't you ask me what I'm laughing about
Hey, brother, you can't be so ruthless in doing things. At the very least, you should take me home, right
Yuan Xixian handed a bowl to Bu Huaiyu and said with a smile, "Well, didn't we say last time that his stomach is not good? He should drink more of this to nourish his stomach."
"Why not come home with me to celebrate the New Year? After all, you know my dad and mom too," Pi Hui said
Bu Huaiyu still refused to speak
Bu Huaiyu felt a twinge of emotion; the words they casually spoke were remembered so clearly by her. He smiled gently, took it over, and said "thank you".
Several people looked at Pi Hui, who chuckled softly. His hand holding the bowl was steady, and his hand with the ladle was precise. While smiling, he skillfully served another bowl.
You ungrateful girl, unaware of the kindness of others! I can't be bothered with others! I see that they treat you quite well, and I would feel more at ease if you had someone to take care of you soon
Bu Huaiyu was not angry; he simply pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "Get out! Don't bump into my car anymore, drive your own!"
"No need! I quite enjoy being alone in peace!" Yuan Xi said
"Nourishing the stomach?" Zhang Heng asked
Bu Huaiyu nodded slightly and said, "I see."
Bu Huaiyu smiled, shook his head, and continued to focus on driving his car. Zhang Heng was at a loss, let out a sneer, and said: "Not bad, right? I think that girl is quite good. In this day and age, it's really not easy to find a girl like her. Have you made up your mind? If you have, then go for it."
The dishes have all been served, and there is also the soup that Yuan Xi prepared in advance. Zhang Heng, smelling the aroma of the soup, is drooling and eagerly holding his bowl, "Actually, Yuan Xi, what is there for you to feel shy about? This is much better than eating out. No restaurant can match your culinary skills. You have me all stirred up. Looking at you, it doesn't seem like anyone is pursuing you. How about I pursue you instead? What do you think?"
What did you say? Bu Huaiyu asked
Yuan Xi, after all, is still your mother, so what is there that cannot be openly discussed?" Pi Hui said again
Yuan Xi still smiled, turning around helplessly to look at Pi Hui: "With you like this, how can I dare to meet male friends? They are just friends! Newly acquainted friends!"
Zhang Heng glared angrily, while Pi Hui chuckled to himself, remaining silent and focused on drinking his soup. The bowl for the soup was small, and it had cooled down; he could finish it in just a few sips. Let them bicker, she thought, as they continued their exchange, the soup would all be hers! Just as she was secretly ladling out her third bowl and had just picked up the soup spoon, she heard Bu Huaiyu's calm voice interrupting the verbal sparring between Zhang Heng and Yuan Xi: "You two stop bickering, or the soup will end up in Pi Hui's stomach!"
Yuan Xi shook his head with a smile: "We are just friends, and we haven't known each other for long. I haven't thought that much about it. Besides, you have seen these two people on m.hetushucom.com, do you think they would lack girlfriends? Really! Aunt Pi, could you please stop worrying about my lifelong affairs?"
Seeing Pi Hui taken aback by her words, Yuan Xi felt regret. She was also doing it for her own good, so why did she have to vent her anger on her? She smiled apologetically at Pi Hui and said, "I am sorry, I should not have lost my temper"
Yuan Xixiao said, "Spare me, please!" and then took a bowl to serve them soup. Pi Hui was also pleased, took his small bowl, sipped a mouthful, and sighed contentedly, "This is truly a blessing! The sweet date and yam soup is a holy product for nourishing the stomach!"
Bu Huaiyu smiled faintly and shook his head
"How wonderful! Are you not going home for the New Year again this year?" Pi Hui asked
When young people gather together, they easily become familiar with one another. After a meal, Pi Hui unexpectedly began to call Zhang Heng "brother," which made Yuan Xi shake his head and smile. Bu Huaiyu was still not very talkative, but it was evident that he was also quite happy.
Zhang Heng pouted and said, "Hey! Hey! Yuan Xi, as friends, we cannot be biased towards one over the other! This really hurts my feelings, you know? Why don't you ever make it up to me? I earn just as much as this guy does!"
Pi Hui also sighed, comfortingly patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder, and turned to leave
