Xu Weiran closed the door of the room, and as he turned around, he saw Sheng Ning’an leaning casually against the kitchen doorway. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at Xu Weiran with a half-smile and said, "Is there anything you’d like to explain to me?"
Xu Weiran hadn’t expected such a coincidence. He had planned to cook a meal for that girl and mention the neighbor’s matter. Who could have anticipated that she would choose this time to visit? "Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not close with her. Last time after I walked you back to your dorm, I just happened to see her having a bout of gastroenteritis. Considering we’re neighbors, I took her to the hospital."
"I see, a man delivers a beauty in the dead of night, the beauty feels grateful, and thus she occasionally comes over to give gifts as thanks?" Sheng Ning’an’s gaze fell on Xu Weiran’s hand.
Xu Weiran gave a bitter smile, casually tossing the stuff on the console cabinet, "Don’t be angry, I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I’ve already made it clear to her just now, telling her there’s no need to keep bringing things over."
"I’m not that petty," Sheng Ning’an straightened up and said, "I’m hungry, when can we eat?"
The person with that face must surely have no shortage of admirers, and besides, there were girls who liked him, and he wasn’t without suitors himself.
Getting angry over such a trivial matter wasn’t worth it.
"You’re really not angry?"
He thought that girls would be somewhat sensitive about these things.
Sheng Ning’an: "To say I don’t care at all would be a lie, but having a treasure, one will always encounter some hungry wolves. That girls like you proves that my judgment was not off. Don’t worry, I trust you! And what you did was a kindness, showing that my boyfriend is a good person with a kind heart."
Seeing she really wasn’t angry, Xu Weiran breathed a sigh of relief, "But, about your Young Uncle..."
"What about my Young Uncle?"
"He seems to have misunderstood me!"
It seemed Yeli had not mentioned the past matters to this girl.
He either planned not to mention it or hadn’t had the chance...
Sheng Ning’an: "So what exactly did you do to make my Young Uncle misunderstand you?" Given her Young Uncle’s character, he rarely took other people’s matters to heart.
He wouldn’t bother someone for no reason.
If there’s been a misunderstanding, surely the person had done something.
"What could I have done?" Xu Weiran replied with a helpless bitter smile.
All he did was lend a helping hand to someone, and who would have thought it would bring trouble to himself?
He had originally invited this girl over for dinner just to talk to her about this matter.
Thinking it was better to confess to être more lenient, mentioning it himself was better than having her hear a possibly embellished version from Yeli. Who knew if he might instigate trouble between them?
No matter how much he had calculated, he hadn’t expected that the neighbor would come knocking on his door that evening, catching this girl right at the scene.
He had only intended to briefly mention the neighbor so she would be informed about the matter. In case Yeli brought it up in front of this girl, she wouldn’t purely believe him and misunderstand.
But now, whether he spoke of the neighbor’s intentions or not, this girl would probably guess it anyway.
Whether to speak of it or not seemed not so important anymore.
"Just now, the girl from next door you met had previously visited the institute to find me and wanted to invite me to dinner as a thank you. Of course, I refused. But your Young Uncle was there at the time."
I see, so it was this guy getting entangled by another girl at the entrance of the institute, and then his Young Uncle walked in on them.
No wonder he suddenly invited me for dinner.
Is he worried that his Young Uncle might make things difficult for him?
