Chapter 49.2: Lu Xiao Nan and Ning Xiao Yi

“Lu Xu Nan!”

A voice close behind him shocked Lu Xu Nan into straightening up, he didn’t even have time to think about why he had to feel guilty. His hand shook and the blanket fell directly onto Ning Yi’s head.

Ning Yi dazedly pulled the blanket away and sat up. She hugged the blanket sleepily, but because she had basically slept all day, her mind was still confused. At this moment, seeing Lu Xu Nan with an abnormal expression in front of her, she immediately raised her hand and smacked his arm, even scolding him in a small voice, “What are you doing, Dog Lu? You feel unfair in your heart because I did better than you on the exam so you want to come snuff me out?!”

The next second, Ning Xiu finally ran to the two of them in several large strides. He placed one hand heavily on Lu Xu Nan’s shoulder, and spoke darkly, “What were you doing just now, Xiao Nan?”

Stinky rascal! Want to kiss Yiyi in my garden in broad daylight?!

Ning Xiu looked tall and skinny, and refined and gentle wearing a pair of glasses, but he exercised regularly and his strength was definitely not lacking. It wasn’t enough to beat the eldest brother of the Lu family, Lu Yingbei, who had been to the “devil’s training camp”, but it was more than enough to make Lu Xu Nan suffer.

Lu Xu Nan hissed, instinctively shrugged his shoulders wanting to get away from his restraint, but was firmly pressed down by Ning Xiu.

If I didn’t happen to come back, I’m afraid I would’ve let you succeed just now! You have quite some guts, I think your skin is itchy (itching for a beating) ?!

Hearing this, Lu Ting looked at his son and said, “Play games less, when your Brother Xiu was your age, he was already doing an internship at his family’s company during vacation. How was he like you, not doing your proper work?”

“Xiao Nan is still young, no need to be so anxious.” Ning Xiu intimately patted Lu Xu Nan’s shoulder and said, “But…it’s also good to start coming in contact with company affairs early. Yingbei is starting to break into the foreign market now, Lu Group’s domestic operations will probably still be on Xiao Nan in the future.”

Lu Ting obviously agreed with these words very much, continuously nodding his head, “Yes, isn’t it because this punk doesn’t live up to expectations!”

Zheng Yu Hong also felt a slight dislike toward her son. Especially after Ning Yi greeted her and cleverly and softly hugged her arm, she felt this even more so.

She said, “Let’s stop talking about the company for now. In any case, learning leads to improvement. Look at how awesome Yiyi is this time! First in the whole school, then look at you, tsk…”

Lu Xu Nan, who was thoroughly disliked by his parents, had no words to say.

Ning Xiu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, “My game company is doing alright recently. Uncle Lu, Aunt Hong, if you trust me, why don’t you let Xiao Nan go over there with me to take a look when he has time? He can more or less learn something.”

Heh, I’ll find some more things for you to do, see where you’ll find the time to tease my family’s little bok choy!

Lu Xu Nan: …

“That’s indeed a good idea!” Lu Ting was clearly very happy. He smiled brightly as he patted Ning Xiu’s shoulder, then glared at Lu Xu Nan, warning him, “Carefully learn from your Brother Xiu, don’t make trouble for him, understand?”

Lu Xu Nan who was again pitted by Ning Xiu tried to fight for himself, he said, “Don’t I still have to go to the supplementary class that Mom signed me up for…”

Zheng Yu Hong didn’t leave him any face, she said, “You’ve been going for so long, but I still don’t see any improvement from you.”

In the end, Ning Xiu put the nail on the coffin, “Maybe those well-known teacher’s teaching methods aren’t too suited for Xiao Nan. How about this, he’ll come with me on the weekend, other than becoming familiar with the operations of a business, he can also ask me any questions he has in studying.”

Lu Xu Nan who lost the time he got to spend with Ning Yi on the weekend just like that: …Brother, you really don’t need to go this far.

And true to the saying “when it rains, it pours”, this was not the only thing that made Lu Xu Nan depressed.

The two families getting together for a meal was a frequent matter and there were rules like “no talking while eating” that needed to be complied. Eating, pausing, clinking glasses, all was harmonious and happy.

Ning Yi only had a low fever to begin with, she was much better after resting at home for a day. It was just that her appetite hadn’t quite recovered and she felt done without eating much.

And the adults had already gone from talking about her grades to the economy and stock market, they talked about the trends of developing businesses and country policies.

She couldn’t join in on those matters so she took out a piece of candy and stuffed it in her mouth, supporting her chin as she sat in her chair and listened.

Zheng Yu Hong finished expressing her opinion. When she lifted her chopsticks to get food, she saw the candy wrapper that Ning Yi left on the table out of the corner of her eye. She smiled as she asked, “How is this candy? Do you like the taste?”

Ning Yi immediately remembered that this was the candy that Zheng Yu Hong specially asked Lu Xu Nan to give to her. She hadn’t thanked her yet. So she repeatedly nodded her head, smiling sweetly as she said, “I really really like it, especially the strawberry and tangerine flavors, delicious! Thank you, Aunt Hong~”

Zheng Yu Hong waved, smilingly saying, “Aiya, don’t thank me! If you have to thank someone, then thank Xiao Nan! He specifically called me to tell me to buy this and directly told me to clear out the available stock. These two days, I see him eating it every day at home. I was so puzzled. He ate candy like he was taking medicine before, how come his taste suddenly changed? Last night, he asked me for a handmade gift pouch, I only knew then that it turns out he was giving you some to try first! Fortunately you like it, or else he really would’ve chugged all that water in vain.”

“Mom, what are you saying!” Lu Xu Nan who came back from the bathroom to hear these words simply wanted to black out.

This was too humiliating, fuck!

Ning Yi was also taken aback hearing this. “Ah? He said you specially brought it back for me and told him to pass it on to me…”

“Pfft.” Le Baiqiu laughed out loud on the side, “Xiao Nan is still the same as when he was little!”

Saying this, she turned and looked at the other adults and said, “Do you still remember when they were six or seven, there was a cartoon that was particularly liked by the children? At the time, they even made a cookie spin-off with a random toy figure of an animal from the cartoon. And the figure of the character that Yiyi liked had an especially low probability, she bought a lot and still couldn’t get it. As a result, Xiao Nan suddenly ran over, cooly threw that little figure to Yiyi, and said, ‘I just randomly bought a bag and got it. I don’t like it anyway, I’ll just give it to you.’ That little appearance, it was so arrogant…”

Everyone was immediately amused by Le Baiqiu’s lively tone, clearly all remembering what the kids were like when they were little.

Zheng Yu Hong shook her head while laughing and added, “How can I forget? That day, I came home. When I pushed open his bedroom door and found the entire room of cookie packaging, I was so mad that I almost gave him a beating when I went over to your house. He has been so awkward since he was little. Even if he’s being nice to you, he still has to hide it and keep you from knowing.”

Le Baiqiu smiled gently, she said, quite moved, “Big brother pampers little sister, Xiao Nan has been good to Yiyi since they were little.”

Lu Ting also recalled another amusing matter, he laughed and smilingly said, “I remember that year their kindergarten had a performance. Yiyi was the princess, Xiao Nan was the prince. He disliked that the crown prop that the school prepared wasn’t good-looking and chose a diamond hair accessory from Ah Hong’s jewelry box and gave it to Yiyi to switch it out, making us all think that it was stolen and almost called the police, hahaha!”

Ning Xuemin immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly, “There was another time, the nanny at home was tidying up Yiyi’s toys, a big diamond ring tumbled from her dress-up doll’s wrist. Baiqiu took a look and found that it was actually Yu Hong’s wedding ring! Only after calling the kids over to ask did she know, it turns out Yiyi complained to Xiao Nan that the doll’s accessories don’t look good. Unexpectedly, he came back with one with such a big diamond…”

Chatting about the amusing things from when the two kids were little, everyone had something to say and conversation was very lively. The dining room was filled with laughter and happy words.

And Lu·Awkward·Nan whom everyone was talking about lifted his hands and covered his face. He simply did not dare to look at Ning Yi as he fell apart inside: My god, can you all let me off!
