For a few seconds, Ye Cheng wanted to disappear and turn back time.

Their eyes met and the whole room was silent.

Lu Xiao held the himself over him and couldn’t move or he would fall on top of Ye Cheng.

Ye Gaoyang looked at Lu Xiao, then looked at his son who was being pinned down, his lips trembling.

“You are…..” He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Xiao,hand unsteady, voice sounding like a broken gong as he spoke, as if it would collapse the next second.

Ye Cheng suddenly woke up, hurriedly pushing at Lu Xiao, who fumbled around and stood up from the bed.

He stood at attention and explained quickly: “Hello Uncle! It’s not what you think, Nothing happened between us!”

Ye Gaoyang’s head was almost smoking, his voice distorting uncontrollably: “Nothing happened? Did I say anything? What are you doing? Also, how did you get in? Why didn’t I see you just now?”

He shot off a series of questions, eyes fierce as he stared at the other.

Lu Xiao thought for a while. He carefully selected two good questions to answer, and explained,
“I came in through the window, we were playing just now.”

Ye Gaoyang: “…”
His body shook, his face pale.

Ye Cheng felt dizzy, wanting to shut him up.
Does he want to pissed him off?

Five minutes later, four people were sitting around the dining room table.

Gao Qiulan looked at Lu Xiao with obvious scrutiny, her tone was a little reproachful,
“This child, didn’t you come to our house last time? It’s not like you can’t enter through the door. It’s dangerous to climb through the window; What if you get hurt?”
Ye Gaoyang sat next to her, silent and expression stormy.

“Sorry, grandma, it was me who was wrong.” Lu Xiao was uncharacteristically humble, eyes lowered as he admitted his mistake.

Previously, he had only seen Gao Qiulan when he was eating that morning. He was very proactive in helping with dishes and cleaning the table, so Gao Qiulan had a good impression of him.

She was afraid that she was being too harsh, so she quickly added: “I’m not blaming you, I’m just worried about your safety. Don’t do this next time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Gaoyang interjected coldly: “It’s better if there is no ‘next time’, Lu Xiao, you promised me today. Do you remember what you said?”

Ye Cheng had lowered his head originally, but after hearing this, he looked up and asked quickly, “Did you look for him today?”

Gao Qiulan also looked at her son in confusion.

Ye Gaoyang was embarrassed, saying: “The boys had been absent from school all morning for no reason. Can’t I ask where they have been?”
He turned towards Ye Cheng, continuing: “Xiao Cheng, I was just about to talk to you about this. You think that it doesn’t matter but irrelevant people affect your time and study. ”
Lu Xiao slowly lowered his head the more Ye Gaoyang spoke, his hairy head looked a little aggrieved.

Ye Cheng’s heart burst into flames, he interrupted Ye Gaoyang coldly, “Dad, first, he is not an ‘irrelevant person’, he is my friend. Second, I have not been affected by this incident. Neither has my study, let alone wasting my time. ”

He paused for a breath, looking into Ye Gaoyang’s eyes: “And why do you think that you can interfere with who I am friends with?”

“Who are you?-Are you my grandma? Or my mother?” His voice was extremely cold.

Gao Qiulan hurriedly stopped him and said, “Ye Cheng! Come on, Ye Gaoyang, don’t be such a child and fight with the children!”

Ye Gaoyang was stimulated by his sons last words, his emotions becoming agitated, completely ignoring Gao Qiulan’s words.
“I’m your father, do I need to ask someone else to interfere?” He said angrily.

The atmosphere of father and son dropped to the negatives; both glaring at each other coldly.

Gao Qiulan was at a loss for a while.
The two were like fire and ice; they really shouldn’t be allowed to sit down and talk. It happens every time.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the seat next to Ye Cheng.
“Uncle, don’t get angry.” Lu Xiao waved his hands to attract their attention, his eyes filled with melancholy, “Actually, there is something else hidden in this matter.”

All eyes turned to look at him.

Lu Xiao’s eyes were filled with melancholy : “You don’t understand, Cheng Cheng and I have known each other since childhood. At that time, uncle, you were not home all year round, so he could only play with me. We went to school together, hung out after school together, and on weekends. We also went to the aquarium and the playground together- the places you promised too take him but didn’t. ”

The blood on Ye Gaoyang’s face faded, as if his facade had been poked through and he became speechless.

Ye Cheng was also in a trance, looking at him blankly, not understanding how he knew this.
In the past, he did beg Ye Gaoyang to take him to the aquarium and the new water park during his vacation, but Ye Gaoyang broke his trust again and again.

“When he was a child, he was very withdrawn, and he would cry when he was in trouble, but he actually liked you very much in his heart and always wanted to show you his grades.” Lu Xiao said slowly.

Ye Cheng had never heard him speak in such a voice in his life, as if he was telling a bedtime story, so soft and calming.

“Later, I moved away and lost contact with him. It was not until he went to the 13th high school that we bumped into each other again.” Lu Xiao’s eyes shined with tears and his performance amped up the next knot has he continued on in a rough voice, “I know you despise my poor grades, but I will study hard! We played from childhood to adulthood. I know that I don’t deserve to be his friend, but I promise not to affect his study, let alone ‘interfere with him’.”

Ye Cheng was stunned, Ye Gaoyang was also stupefied.

Gao Qiulan wiped away her tears with her finger. She couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer. She slapped the table and said: “Ye Gaoyang, look at what you have done! This child is so kind, how could he be a bad influence to Ye Cheng? How can you despise a child?!”

Her chest filled with pity and anger all at once, it was hard to imagine what this villain said to such a sweet child.
“To say such things to him is to ignore the rules that I have been teaching you since you are a child! Do you respect others?”

Ye Gaoyang panicked. Although he didn’t like Lu Xiao, he didn’t go so far as to say that he was a bad child.

He frantically explained: “No, no… Mom, you made a mistake. I don’t dislike him, and I don’t think he don’t deserve Xiao Cheng… God, how could I? It’s really a mistake.”

The more she thought about it, the more worried Gao Qiulan became. She choked and scolded him angrily, “Do you know what life was like for Xiao-Cheng when he was a child? He doesn’t have a mother’s love or his father’s love. From childhood I have always been there. Did you care about his life? Did you take care of his studies? Now that he has grown up, you suddenly joined in and demand to be seen as a father, is there such a thing?”

“Grandma, don’t be mad, your body is fragile.” Ye Cheng came back to his senses and patted her back quickly, for fear that she would faint.

Ye Gaoyang was exposed like this in front of an outsider, his face was broke, his cheeks flushed.

He said in a low voice, “Mom, calm down. I didn’t mean that, I don’t want to interfere with them.”

“A Fart! He said just now that he would take care of him!” Gao Qiulan was even more worked up, standing to pull Ye Cheng behind her,
“My grandson, I will take care of it! Who cares? Is it my will or his mother’s?”

Ye Gaoyang opened his mouth, unable to utter a word, his face turned the colour of pig liver.

In the past, Gao Qiulan always acted as a peacemaker, hoping that the father and son would not fall out.

Now in the mouth of an outsider, she suddenly heard how Ye Cheng had lived in the past, and she couldn’t hold back her tears. She felt distressed and blamed herself in her heart.

She shouldn’t let this wicked son of hers contact Ye Cheng anymore, and hope that the relationship between the two would ease. Now it seems that this family is best without him.

Gao Qiulan simply grabbed Ye Gaoyang and said, “Go back to the hotel, don’t stay at home tonight, it will be an eyesore! Don’t dirty my bed!”

Ye Gaoyang was taken aback by the sudden situation: “Mom, Mom, don’t be like this, I didn’t mean to make you angry…”

“Get out you beast!”

Gao Qiulan turned a deaf ear and scolded him. She pushed him out, and slammed the door.

She usually looked gentle and kind, but now she was suddenly furious, shocking all the men in the room.

Lu Xiao silently gave a thumbs up under the table and mouthed,
“Grandma, that’s awesome.”
Ye Cheng gave him a warning look and motioned him to stop talking nonsense, so as not to make Gao Qiulan feel sad again.

He stood up and comforted Gao Qiulan: “Okay, okay, grandma, calm down, don’t be so angry.”
Gao Qiulan wanted to hug him, but because Lu Xiao was there, she had to hold back.

She wiped her tears and said, “I’m sorry, Lu Xiao, I made you see such a joke. Our family is a mess. I sincerely apologise for your Uncle Ye, he really went too far in what he said just now. It’s all because of my lack of discipline as a mother.”

Lu Xiao returned to his normal appearance, and stood up quickly and said, “It’s okay, grandma, I didn’t take it to heart, so don’t feel guilty.”

Gao Qiulan shook her head and said, “He’s really a good boy, he’s so kind and generous, I don’t know what that beast thinks! How could he possibly be a bad influence to Ye Cheng!”

Lu Xiao cleared his throat unnaturally, and straightened his back involuntarily.

“It’s so late today, so you can stay for the night.” Gao Qiulan said to him.

Before Lu Xiao could speeak, Ye Cheng said first, “He has cram school tomorrow, I’ll take him to the subway station later.”

What a joke, he can’t stay here.

Tomorrow morning, Ye Gaoyang will come back to plead guilty. He doesn’t want to experience this kind of embarrassment a second time.

Lu Xiao glared at him, dissatisfied, but Gao Qiulan nodded: “Well, don’t delay studying. Lu Xiao, you can come to play more next time. I didn’t realise but it turns out that you have known each other since childhood.”

Ye Cheng thought to himself, He didn’t know either, so he just believed his nonsense.

The two came out of the house and started walking to the subway station.
Ye Cheng couldn’t help laughing: “Your acting skills are pretty good, it’s a pity not to develop into showbiz.”

“It’s alright.” Lu Xiao didn’t hear his sarcasm, his expression was a little smug, “I have a cousin who works in this business, and he also owns an entertainment company.”

Ye Cheng said, “Come on, it’s really amazing, you guessed everything correctly. When I was a child, I begged my dad to let him take me to the aquarium and the playground.”

“How can you guess all this, is there a surveillance camera in my house?” He joked.
Lu Xiao’s eyes changed and he didn’t answer.

Ye Cheng looked at him and said, “Actually, I’m very curious, why do you think I was a…”

He stopped, a little ashamed to say that adjective.

Lu Xiao couldn’t help laughing: “A little cry baby?”

The evening breeze was cool and comfortable, brushing across Ye Cheng’s reddened cheeks.

He gave a low hum in agreement.

Lu Xiao’s grin showed light dimples, as if he was caught in some kind of memory, “That’s not hard to guess. He was originally a little cry baby. Every time he was not the first, he cried.”

“Nonsense, I’ve never done that before.” Ye Cheng immediately denied, his ears turning red with shame.

“Have you ever cried because of the exam?”

Ye Cheng held back for a long time, “No.”

Lu Xiao laughed, obviously not believing.

Ye Cheng wanted to beat him very much: “Stop laughing!”

Lu Xiao laughed so hard that he couldn’t straighten his back.

The two walked to the gate of the community arguing. Ye Cheng’s stomach grumbled a few times because he was hungry.

He rubbed his abdomen and looked around: “Why didn’t the uncle who sold oden come here today, he normally at the gate at this time.”

“Is it cooked by Li Guandong? His steamed buns are always delicious.” Lu Xiao said casually.

“That’s right, that’s it.” Ye Cheng paused and looked at him, “How do you know that, have you eaten here?”

Lu Xiao avoided his gaze and said, “I have a friend who also lives nearby and has eaten here a few times.”
He pointed to the road and changed the subject: “That restaurant also cooks donuts, let’s go, I’ll invite you.”

Ye Cheng felt energised: “Tsk, it’s good to come out with Master Lu. Everything is ‘I’ll invite you’.”

“It’s not, master.”

“Oh?”

“Daddy.”

“Go away.”

***

The two of them couldn’t eat barbecue on the weekend because Ye Gaoyang stayed at home for another day.

He knelt in the living room and was trained. The Ye family’s teachings were like this. The world is big but the mother is bigger.

Ye Cheng sat at his deskm watching the class group chat as he snacked if the duck neck he bought along the way.

In the class group, Lu Xiao sent a message.
[If you want to sign up for the Games, please fill out this form. 】
Then shared an excel sheet.

Ye Cheng clicked in, and found that his name was written on the thousand meters run.

Someone in the group asked: [How many events can one person join? 】

[Ah, there is no shot put, is it canceled? 】

[Brother Xiao, what is the date again? Why didn’t I see the notification? 】
Although Class 20 ranked at the bottom, their basketball team accounted for one-tenth of their total numbers, and in sports, everyone did their part.
