Meng Xinian’s handsome face suddenly stiffened.
"Hey, girl, for over twenty years, no one has enjoyed such a treatment—you’re the first!" Still unsatisfied? Still saying "damn"...
"Thank you, okay?" Chiang Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears.
As the first person to "enjoy" Captain Meng’s patting on the back, couldn’t she express a couple of her true feelings?
"I train every day, so my hands are strong," Meng Xinian said, pulling back his hand and coughing lightly with his index finger against his lips. "Next time, I’ll be gentler."
There’s going to be a next time?
Yu Chunyu sat to the side, watching their exchanges, feeling like there was a world between them that others simply couldn’t step into.
Moreover, she didn’t understand why Chiang Xiao suddenly started coughing.
Yu Chunyu had no idea that because she had been dizzied by Meng Xinian’s smile earlier, she had accidentally switched his and Chiang Xiao’s bowls.
"Brother Chiang, where are you serving as Supervisor Guard? Are you back this time to visit family?" Yu Chunyu mustered up the courage to speak with Meng Xinian.
Chiang Xiao, hearing her call him Brother Chiang over and over again, found it increasingly amusing and couldn’t help but stealthily make faces at Meng Xinian.
Meng Xinian glanced at her and said to Yu Chunyu, "No."
But he didn’t answer her previous question.
Yu Chunyu felt that her looks ranked well in the town and had never lacked people who would take the initiative to court her. However, she didn’t think anyone in Peace Town was worthy of her. Now that she had finally found someone, could someone tell her why this man was so indifferent?
He only ever smiled and chatted when it was with his sister.
Feeling a bit defeated and reviving her spirits in secret, she asked, "Brother Chiang, which grade is Chiang Xiao in? Is she also at the town’s middle school? Although I’ve only started substitute teaching at the school recently, I get along well with the principal and the teachers. From now on in the school, I can keep an eye on Chiang Xiao for you, so you can rest a bit easier."
She would look after Chiang Xiao?
Meng Xinian originally didn’t want to engage Yu Chunyu and was thinking about paying and leaving, but upon hearing her say that, he paused thoughtfully, then nodded at her and earnestly thanked her.
"She’ll only be joining the town’s middle school next semester, so from then on I’ll have to trouble Teacher Yu to watch over her more."
No matter what, Chiang Xiao would be attending the town’s middle school next semester, and it would definitely be convenient to have one more teacher she knew there.
Seeing that he was willing to speak to her more amicably, Yu Chunyu was elated and eagerly continued, "So, Chiang Xiao will be starting the first year of junior high next semester? Coincidentally, that’s what I teach. There are only two classes in the first year, so I could arrange for her to be in my class."
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand to Chiang Xiao, tilting her head slightly with a playful wink and a smile, "Chiang Xiao, would you like to get to know your future homeroom teacher in advance?"
This way, Yu Chunyu appeared friendly and playful.
Seeing her continuously trying to exert her charm on Comrade Meng Xinian, Chiang Xiao felt that it might be time for her to leave, so she wouldn’t be the unwanted third wheel.
She stood up and said, "Teacher Yu, I’ll see you next semester. I’ve got some things to take care of, so I’ll be heading out first." Although she had the bag she needed to return to Meng Xinian in her Space, it obviously wasn’t the right time to take it out, so she decided to quickly take her breakfast back and then make another trip to return those things to Meng Xinian.
Yu Chunyu’s heart leaped with joy.
Without Chiang Xiao around, she was naturally happier.
Could it be that Brother Soldier would ask her out?
However, as it turned out, she was thinking too much.
Meng Xinian also stood up, "Let’s walk out together." Saying this, he laid down Four Yuan, stepped out with his long legs and left first.
