Wow! Thank you.” An Xi happily took it. On such a day when going out was completely impossible, could Yan Qing be any more considerate by sending over ice cream? “You’re welcome,” Yan Qing was about to take the opportunity to hug An Xi from behind, but a glance from the corner of his eye caught Jiang Xin peering over, staring at him with a gloomy look. “What’s wrong?” An Xi, who had just poured three glasses of sour plum soup, turned around and saw Yan Qing and Jiang Xin in the kitchen doorway in a “deep gaze”, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Looks like Xiao Xin really likes you!” “Hehe…” He felt it was unlikely… Yan Qing raised the corner of his mouth. He saw Jiang Xin quickly wrinkle his face and stick out his tongue at him… Hehe, An Xi was indeed thinking too harmoniously. When it was time to eat, An Xi said she was going to the kitchen to cook three bowls of noodles. After all, at that time, An Xi could only cook noodles and fried rice, and other dishes… she completely couldn’t make! “Let me do it.” Yan Qing took the apron from An Xi’s hand and naturally put it on, and An Xi consciously stood behind him, helping to tie the strings. Tying those two strings, she couldn’t help but remember when she was a ghost, Yan Qing had also cooked for “her”… but this time, being able to eat it was really great! Unexpectedly, the one who enjoyed the meal the most was Jiang Xin. Although he really liked An Xi’s sister, eating noodles and fried rice every day… he couldn’t stand it anymore! Jiang Xin secretly glanced at Yan Qing, who was eating elegantly… it seemed like he wasn’t so bad, and if he were to marry into this family, it might not be so bad. But trying to win him over with just one meal… that was impossible! Jiang Xin thought this way, and stuffed another big piece of meat into his mouth… Mmm, it was delicious! The entire good day slowly passed with Jiang Xin constantly saying, “Sister, I don’t quite understand this! Can you explain it to me!” Yan Qing sat silently on the sofa, wondering why he came today? If he hadn’t come, he could have happily texted An Xi, but now, he had to think carefully before speaking to avoid being “inappropriate”… not to mention being alone with An Xi. He suspected the kid would cry on his own. This won’t do! Yan Qing rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and said to Jiang Xin as gently as possible, “Does Xiao Xin want to go to the amusement park?” If he put him on the carousel and spun him around twenty times, he could be alone with An Xi! “Don’t want to go, it looks so hot outside.” Jiang Xin shook his head and answered in a muffled voice. “Then… how about the water park?” An Xi, seeing Jiang Xin reject Yan Qing’s suggestion, was afraid Yan Qing would be unhappy and quickly asked again. Sitting in the middle, she secretly reached out her left hand to hold Yan Qing’s right hand and shook it slightly, and the latter immediately grasped it. “Okay!” If it was An Xi’s suggestion, it wasn’t impossible… Jiang Xin didn’t see their “little action”, but if An Xi wanted to go, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly. “…” Yan Qing scratched her palm as if punishing her, instantly adopting a “cold” look. “Hehe… hehe.” An Xi laughed perfunctorily, “Then… let’s go together tomorrow!” “Mm, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” Yan Qing glanced at his watch, noting it was almost time for An Xi’s family to return. Not yet, he wanted to meet An Xi’s elders in the most successful manner and have them trust him with An Xi. Thinking this, Yan Qing stood up and said, “I’ll leave first today.” “I’ll see you out.” An Xi immediately stood up, with Jiang Xin slowly following behind. As Yan Qing was leaving, he deliberately looked at Jiang Xin… This child initially had hostility towards him, but now seemed much better and wasn’t making faces at him anymore. “See you tomorrow.” After saying goodbye to An Xi, Yan Qing went downstairs and left. Jiang Xin quickly stuck out his tongue in the direction he left, but was caught by An Xi. “You…” Not understanding why Jiang Xin would do this, An Xi couldn’t help but laugh and led him into the house, then took out the ice cream Yan Qing had brought earlier and handed a box to Jiang Xin, “Brother Yan Qing bought this!” “…” Jiang Xin didn’t reach out at first, sitting on the sofa with blank eyes. “It’ll melt if you don’t eat it!” Seeing him so insincere, An Xi laughed and slipped into the kitchen, “I’ll help Dad and Mom prepare dinner!” They were full from what Yan Qing fed them, but An Cheng and Li Guan hadn’t eaten yet. Jiang Xin nodded, watching An Xi enter the kitchen. Only after hearing the sound of knives and cutting boards in the kitchen did he quickly run to the table and grab the ice cream. It was strawberry flavor… Jiang Xin squinted happily, and when he thought of Yan Qing again, he felt he was quite friendly. He would allow him to play with him and An Xi’s sister tomorrow!
☆, Chapter Twenty-Four
The next morning. Looking at the scenery quickly retreating outside the window, Jiang Xin tugged at his seatbelt and glanced at Yan Qing, who was skillfully driving on the left, then quickly turned his head back. Unexpectedly, he could drive… would he not need to walk in the future? Jiang Xin squinted, enjoying the cool air from the air conditioning. Indeed, Yan Qing had come to pick them up as promised this morning, and Jiang Xin had directly sat in the passenger seat… he absolutely wouldn’t let An Xi’s sister sit here! The glance Jiang Xin gave was caught by Yan Qing in his peripheral vision, and he slightly curved the corner of his mouth…
