Ning Yi didn’t dare move, she said obediently on the sofa as she received the medicine. Her eyes looked around here and there, glancing at Lu Xu Nan and looking at Xu Xing Ji, very distressed.
Sigh, why did Xu Xing Ji suddenly confess to me? Now, I feel so awkward whenever I interact with him…
Lu Xu Nan shook and suddenly turned his head to look at Ning Yi.
“Hey, Xiao Nan, don’t move, there’s still a bit left!” Nanny Tang said urgently with a cotton swab raised in her hand.
Lu Xu Nan took it, and guessing the approximate location, he randomly rubbed it a few times, then threw it in the trash, “It’s done.”

“Look at you, so anxious.” Nanny Tang smiled as she shook her head. Capping the Chinese medicine ointment, she said in a low voice, “With this injury, Yiyi will probably have to stay home for a couple days. Ever since she was small, little bumps and scratches leave marks easily. This time it’s on the face, the little girl will definitely be unhappy. You quickly think about how to coax her.”
Lu Xu Nan’s footsteps paused, and he lowered his eyes, looking at Ning Yi on the sofa. The latter was calling out in pain, telling Le Baiqiu to stop moving.
Le Baiqiu remained unmoved, “I’m already being gentle enough, I still have to touch to put the medicine on, no? Or else where would the medicine be going? You still have the nerve to say it hurts, look at how you scratched Xiao Nan. Two bloody marks on his neck.”
Ning Yi spoke vaguely with candy in her mouth, “It was originally his fault that his head is too hard…”

Lu Xu Nan took his hand back, subconsciously rubbing the candy wrapper, feeling as if her warm breath was still at his fingertips.
“When you’ve finished eating dinner and the medicine has dried, Auntie can use a piece of ice to apply as a cold compress for a while. Twenty four hours later, apply a hot compress every day, it helps relieve swelling and blood congestion.” Xu Xing Ji spoke from the side.
Le Baiqiu responded to him smilingly, and thanked him for his concern for Ning Yi.
“It’s what I’m supposed to do.” Xu Xing Ji waved his hand, however his gaze was casted at Lu Xu Nan on the side. He curled his lips, smiling.
Lu Xu Nan felt the other person’s provocation, his face grew cold and the candy wrapper in his palm made a rustling sound from his clenching fist.
Fang Ci sensitively noticed the brief confrontation between the two people. On the way back to the dining room, he secretly hooked Lu Xu Nan’s shoulders and asked, “What’s going on with you and Xu Xing Ji?”
Lu Xu Nan’s face looked a little ugly: “Xu Xing Ji confessed to Ning Yi at the pavilion in the afternoon.”
“Fuck! Just after we left? He sure moves quickly!” Fang Ci was shocked. He looked at Xu Xing Ji in front in the middle of chatting with Le Baiqiu and was immediately anxious for his brother, “This punk aims for both the young and old! Brother Nan, I feel it’s a little dangerous…”
Lu Xu Nan glared at him, and unhappily said, “You can talk so well, why don’t you talk more?”
Fang Ci immediately shut up. Until he sat down in the dining room, he took account of the atmosphere, and secretly whispered to Lu Xu Nan, “Brother Nan, remember what I told you before– take what others are best at and make up for your shortcomings, add oil!”
Lu Xu Nan sneered, expressing his disdain, but very soon, he gradually felt a great sense of crisis.
Xu Xing Ji was seriously smooth and slick. Not only the couple of girls, even Le Baiqiu was amused by him again and again.

He suspected whether this person had four eyes? While talking, he could still see what Ning Yi wanted to eat? Does Ning Yi not have hands? Does she need him to pour soup?
Wait, Ning Yiyi was blushing? Damn! Xu Xing Ji, this rascal, did he just purposely touch her hand?
Lu Xu Nan clenched the chopsticks in his hand tightly. Unable to help but notice the movements at the table, the more this meal went on, the more he felt as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat.
The meal was finished with difficulty along with the dessert and fruit afterwards. It was getting late and Le Baiqiu arranged the car to send them back. After watching the car leave, Le Baiqiu turned around and lamented with Ning Yi and Lu Xu Nan, “These few classmates of yours are really nice, especially Xiao Xing. Not only are his mind and grades good, his style of conversation is also extremely good. He was very clear and logical when he chatted about the history of modern literature with me, really a good kid!”
Lu Xu Nan: …It’s only been so long, you’re already calling him Xiao Xing?
The words that Fang Ci secretly spoke in his ear before he left popped out from his memory again.
“Brother Nan, although the one surnamed Xu looks good, how can he compare to you? It’s just that you’re too cold normally, always with a cold face that makes people feel like you’re not easy to get close to. As they say, learn from the foreigners in order to gain command of them. The first step of the Little Strawberry Plan– smile, smile (written in English)! Cool, cold-faced brother is even more captivating when he smiles! Trust me!”
When Lu Xu Nan came back carrying a big bag of candy, Le Baiqiu was on the phone in the side room. Because she was worried that it would make the children feel restrained if there were too many people at home, she specially told Ning father and son to take care of the meal on their own outside. Now, she was informing each of them that they could come home.
And Ning Yi was in the living room, drinking yogurt while holding the ice wrapped in a towel that was prepared by Le Baiqiu and applying the ice compress.
Seeing Lu Xu Nan come over, she involuntarily match up the figure of the man from the “deja vu” scene with his. Her gaze momentarily avoided him.
But very quickly, Ning Yi discovered that the person in front of her was actually more uneasy than she was.
She saw Lu Xu Nan standing there holding the candy without sitting, his face stinky and arrogantly looking at her, but he then looked away very quickly. The weirdest part was the corner of his lips. They tugged several times like he was going to speak, but he didn’t make a peep.

In the end, Ning Yi couldn’t resist. She released the straw, and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong with you? Is your face cramping?”
Lu Xu Nan, who thought that he had already smiled at her several times, heard her and his face suddenly turned dark. He took a big stride forward and forcefully placed the candy in his hand on the coffee table. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Smile? Smile?
Take what others are best at and make up for your shortcomings?
Learn from the foreigners in order to gain command of them?
