"You’re trying to be lazy again!" Xu Nian’an’s eyes went wide as she looked at Xu Nianhua’s behavior, which clearly showed her intentions.
Xu Nianhua smiled with her eyes twinkling merrily and said happily, "Big brother, you are my big brother, and of course, such an important task can only be handled by you."
"I’ll give you an address later." Xu Nian’an had no resistance against his little sister’s radiant smile, and while sipping on the steaming chicken soup, he said, "Yicheng is really lucky to have you as a girlfriend."
"Big brother, when are you going to find me a sister-in-law?" Xu Nianhua brought up the old topic again.
Xu Nian’an gave her a sidelong glance and said, "What, now that you’re in a relationship, you want to play matchmaker? You better hurry up and eat. Once you’re done, take it to him. The weather is getting warmer, and if you wait any longer, this chicken soup will spoil."
"Right, I need to be quick."
Xu Nianhua sped up her eating, grabbed the address Xu Nian’an had given her, and left the house with the chicken soup.
"Take it slow, be careful," Xu Nian’an called after her as she hurried away.
"Got it." Xu Nianhua waved her hand without looking back and headed to catch her ride.
Once on board the vehicle, she should reach the architectural college directly. She shouldn’t get off at the wrong station, right?
Xu Nian’an muttered to himself, thinking that Xu Nianhua had visited his school so many times already, she should be fine, and then he went back to enjoy some ribs.
The chicken soup was polished off completely, and there were still some braised ribs left, which certainly couldn’t go to waste.
After boarding the bus, knowing she was often confused about directions, Xu Nianhua double-checked the location of the architectural college with the driver before feeling reassured. Fortunately, the bus was not very crowded at this time.
Upon arriving at the architectural college, the driver even kindly reminded Xu Nianhua about her stop. Grateful, she got off the bus holding her meal box, saw the words "architectural college," and felt relieved she hadn’t gone to the wrong place. After asking her way to Pei Yicheng’s office, she stood at the door, took a deep breath, and lightly knocked twice.
The distinct voice of Pei Yicheng was heard, and Xu Nianhua entered to see him at his desk, engrossed in drawing architectural plans.
Xu Nianhua didn’t speak but walked forward step by step. Seeing Pei Yicheng drawing architectural diagrams again, she stood by, her gaze shifting back and forth between him and the blueprints.
A man who works hard is indeed the handsomest, and this was no exception.
Pei Yicheng looked up and saw her bright, dark eyes. A flash of joy appeared in his eyes as he asked, "When did you get here?"
Xu Nianhua set the meal box down and said, "I specially made chicken soup, and it’s still warm. You should drink it quickly."
Upon opening the container, the aroma of the chicken soup filled the room.
"It smells great." Pei Yicheng took a deep breath, feeling it was delicious even before tasting it.
"I stewed it for two hours, it tastes really good." Xu Nianhua proudly urged him to try it.
Pei Yicheng took a sip of the soup, then tasted the chicken and praised, "This is the most delicious chicken soup I’ve ever had."
"How’s the wound on your back?" Xu Nianhua asked with concern, looking at his white shirt, almost wishing she could lift it to check his wound.
Pei Yicheng slurped the soup enthusiastically, gesturing for her to have some, but Xu Nianhua shook her head and said, "I’ve had some already; this is all for you, you have to finish it all!"
