“Big brother, I’m afraid you won’t wait for me!”

Li Che said calmly, “Don’t do this in the future.
I said that I will wait for you, no matter how long.”

“I understand, then quickly drink it.”

Under her smiling gaze, Li Che opened the pack and took a sip.

She probably ordered it specifically so he could taste a strong ginger flavor.

Ye Yuqing leaned on the car window and asked, “Jason, you are staying in a hotel today during the Mid-Autumn Festival, don’t you need to be with your family?”

“No.” Li Che’s voice was a little low.

“Me too! Are you free tomorrow? Since we are not going home, I can invite you to dinner for the holidays.”

The hot milk in his hand was still hot, and Li Che hesitated for two seconds.
“Let’s see later.
I don’t necessarily have time.”

“Then I’ll go back first.
You should rest early!”

Li Che asked, “Do you want me to send you?”

“No need.
I go over here and you over there.
I’ll take a taxi when I go out.
I’ll be home in ten minutes.
Please go back to your room and rest.” Ye Yuqing waved her hand after speaking.

After waiting for her back to disappear, Li Che looked back.

He lowered his head and took a second sip.

It was the first time to drink this kind of thing, it felt a bit spicy, but it was a bit sweet again.

The pungency rolled from the throat to the stomach.

Li Che couldn’t help thinking, Is she doing this to everyone?

Is she not afraid of being cheated?

Looked silly, but not too silly.

He hated to have emotional connections with others, which was probably related to his bad childhood memories.

That man married his mother.
He drank daily and abused his mother, however his mother reluctantly accepted it, hugging him who was still young and muttering to herself, How could he become like this? I’ve done so much for him, why is this happening?

He was very upset when he listened too much, and only indifference remained in his heart.

This was why his interests remained unchanged.
At least one party won’t have to ask “why are you like this”.

Ridiculous and pathetic, but to no avail.

It was just that Li Che hesitated when seeing those eyes just now, and moved his compassionate heart.

He was afraid that she would show disappointment, he did not say the words too much.

It was impossible for two people, but… it was good to be a friend in general, watching her not to be fooled by others.

Although she didn’t bring considerable benefits to himself.

Ye Yuqing went to wash up when she got home.
When she looked in the mirror, she found out that she bit her lip because of being nervous and no longer had any  lipstick on.

…Forget it, don’t worry about these details.

She was very happy to see him today, and the two of them talked a lot!

This was a great improvement!

Her good mood lasted until her cell phone rang.

The call was from her grandfather.

Ye Yuqing had already called the two old people this morning, thinking that maybe the elders wanted to chat with her.
She smiled and answered the phone.

“Grandpa, good evening, what are you doing?”

“Yuqing, I am eating here with your father today, and it’s Mid-Autumn Festival, you say something to him.”

Ye Yuqing was taken aback, and she realized that the call was in loud speaker.

She greeted a little unnaturally,  “Auntie Zhao, Dad, Grandma.”

Maybe they deliberately picked up the old man for the festival.

When Ye Yuqing was less than one year old, her parents divorced, her mother left, and her father married again in half a year.

She grew up with her grandparents, and she didn’t know about her father’s new family.

“Yuqing, if you don’t go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, won’t you come back on National Day?” There was a cheerful woman’s voice on the phone.

“I’ll go back when I have time.”

Ye Yuqing lowered her eyes.

Zhao Yanyan was her father’s second wife, and they had two children after marriage.

The father reorganized the family and almost never asked his first daughter, but Ye Yuqing followed her grandparents and didn’t care too much.

She thought this was also good.

“If you want to come back, bring Ye Xi back with you.
It happens to be in the same city.
Your brother only went to college this year.
He doesn’t want to go home during holidays.
It doesn’t matter how much dad and I think about him,” the woman complained a little sadly.

Ye Yuqing hesitated for two seconds and said in a low voice, “But if he is unwilling, I can’t do anything  too.”

Zhao Yanyan didn’t care.
“You can go to school to find him.
Your brother is spoiled by us.
He doesn’t know how to wash his socks and shoes by himself.
If you have time, go and help him wash.
At home, my father and I will take care of him.
Outside, you being his sister need to pay more attention.”

“I… will watch it again if I have time, but I’ve been a bit busy lately.”

“Your request is too much, she usually has to work!” in the background sound, the old man said dissatisfied.

“Sigh, if I were there, I will have washed it myself…” Zhao Yanyan retorted quietly.
