Chapter 148 - 148

Chapter 148 My crush is so cute, I can't resist~"You little rascal, you're finally back. Perfect timing, Nanny Lin made some chicken soup today. Take it to that girl later and cultivate your relationship. Don't always be so busy that you don't even know if the girl is still yours."As soon as Duan Xingye stepped into his home, his mother, Cao Jiali, grabbed his arm and led him into the main room."Mom, slow down..."" Nanny Lin, bring out the chicken soup that's keeping warm on the stove!" Cao Jiali's loud voice echoed throughout the house."I specially asked Nanny Lin to simmer it in a clay pot for three hours, with angelica and goji berries added, to replenish qi and blood! You can have some later too.""I thought I wasn't going to get a drink!""I'm not a skinflint, when have I ever shortchanged you on food and drink?" Cao Jialirolled her eyes at her son, annoyed.Nanny Lin brought out the chicken soup, andDuan Xingye first found a lunchbox and scooped out a portion.Cao Jiali nodded in satisfaction upon seeing his actions.He poured himself a bowl of chicken soup, and had only drunk half of it when someone arrived." Aunt Duan, are you home? I heard Brother Xingye is back?"A pretty girl came in from outside the door.Upon hearing the voice, Duan Xingye frowned. "Why is she here?""It's alright, Mom will handle it." Cao Jialireassured her son before smiling and walking out." Huanhuan! What brings you here?"" Aunt Duan, I heard Brother Xingye is back?" Her eyes were filled with obvious affection."Yes, he came back to pick up some chicken soup. He specifically called to ask someone to make it for him, because he's going to give the soup to his girlfriend!""What... a girlfriend? When did Brother Xingyeget a girlfriend? That's impossible."Cao Jiali's smile vanished. " Huanhuan, why can't our Xingye have a boyfriend?""No… Aunt Duan, that's not what I meant."Just then, Duan Xingye came out carrying a lunchbox. "Mom, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time."" Brother Xingye …I…"Duan Xingye nodded in response, without saying a word."Please say hello to Xiaoyun for me!"Cao Jiali said this on purpose to let Wan Huanhuan know her attitude.Sure enough, Wan Huanhuan's face turned pale. " Aunt Duan...who is that person?""What? You mean Hoshino's girlfriend? They've known each other for several years, and she's a very outstanding girl.""What does she do? Is she also from the Military Academy?"Cao Jiali isn't stupid; this is clearly a ploy!" Huanhuan! I can't say too much, otherwise that brat will say I'm being nosy.""Alright then!" Wan Huanhuan forced a smile, suppressing her emotions.Does he really cherish that person that much? Who is it?Wan Huanhuan lived in the compound. She first met Duan Xingye when she was eleven years old, after her mother remarried Wan Wei, the second son of the Wan family.When she first arrived at the compound, the children there wouldn't play with her and even bullied her. She remembered one time when several male children bullied her on her way home from school, throwing stones at her. It wasDuan Xingye who appeared and stopped them, so she was very grateful.But she was still young then, and she simply felt that although this older brother didn't like to talk to her, he was willing to help her.From that time on, she had always paid close attention to Duan Xingye. It wasn't until she grew up that she belatedly realized her different feelings for him, but by then he had already joined the army, so she had no choice but to hide her feelings.Who knew that a rival would suddenly appear? How could she accept that? She had worked so hard all these years to become outstanding so that she could stand by his side, and she would never let someone else take him away." Huanhuan, would you like some chicken soup?""No need, Aunt Duan, I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."She's going to find someone to investigate whoDuan Xingye's boyfriend is.Duan Xingye didn't care about the other femalecomrades at all. No matter what they tried, they couldn't ruin his relationship with Little Girl.Peach blossoms? If they dare to come, he'll wipe them out at the root.Cao Jiali watched her departing figure, her brows furrowed. She knew that this Wan familygirl would definitely not give up, and she had to remind her son not to let anyone take advantage of the situation.At this moment, Duan Xingye was chatting with the security guard at the Peking University gate, carrying a lunchbox and some fruit and pastries he had bought!He's already sent someone to call Yun Ting, and he's just waiting.The security guard noticed his distinguished demeanor and decided to strike up a conversation with him.Yun Ting didn't keep him waiting long before coming out."Is that your boyfriend? He's outstanding, I heard he always gets first place in exams," the security guard said with a smile."Yes! She's always been this outstanding."Duan Xingye completely disregarded whether people were being polite or not; to him, it was the truth."What brings you here? I have class later!" Yun Ting came running out, her face flushed.Duan Xingye couldn't resist squeezing it. Mmm! It feels so good.Yun Ting slapped his hand in an annoyance, "Why are you touching me?""Hehe~ My partner is so cute, I couldn't resist."Yun Ting suddenly stared at him for a while and asked, " Does your Military Academy also teach how to coax female children?""Haha... No, I'm exceptionally talented and self-taught. Are you satisfied with that?""What did you bring me?""The chicken soup was specially ordered by your future mother-in-law to be simmered for three hours, and she also added angelica and goji berries. She didn't give me a single drop.""Come on, you must have had a lot to drink, right? There's still grease on your lips!"Duan Xingye subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, then met her smiling eyes and realized that she had been tricked."Pfft... Duan Xingye, how can you be so cute? Haha..."Duan Xingye watched her laugh and couldn't help but laugh along. Fine! As long as it makes her happy, it's okay to fool around a few more times. It doesn't matter if I'm a little silly in front of her."Thank you so much, Auntie. I will definitely drink every last drop of this soup.""Doesn't someone like me, who came all the way here to deliver soup, deserve to be thanked?""Hehe... Thank you for delivering the soup, little brother. You've worked hard.""Hmph...how are you going to thank me?""I'll treat you to a meal another day... Or, could you share some of this chicken soup?""No sincerity!""Alright, Duan Xingye, don't push your luck...""Look, there's absolutely no sincerity involved. I'm so heartbroken.""I need to go back to class.""Okay, I'll wait for you. Let's have lunch together.""Alright then! Why don't you go and rest in my yard for a while?""That's okay..."Yun Ting gave him the key and went back to class. There was still more than an hour before school ended at noon, so she couldn't just let him wait at the door!Duan Xingye ran there; the distance was nothing to him, he considered it his training for the day.While running, he was still thinking to himself, would it be a plus to buy some groceries and cook a meal himself to show off his skills in front of the girl he liked?He acted immediately and actually went to buy groceries.At that time, Capital City had a state-run farmers' market. Duan Xingye didn't live in this area, so he had to ask an old man to find the farmers' market.
