"You should rest here first. I'll go greet my friends."

Xu Qing was about to turn and leave when Tang Yu grabbed her.

Xu Qing's large eyes flickered with confusion and astonishment. Tang Yu looked into her eyes and couldn't help but recall the way Xu Qing blinked every time he looked at her. He was extremely adorable.

"Qingqing, I have something to tell you —"

Tang Yu's expression turned serious, while a strange feeling surfaced in Xu Qing's heart.

"Today is your birthday, the day you were born. In the previous twenty-odd years, I did not make a single heavy stroke in your life, but I hope that from today onwards, you can give me a chance. Xu Qing, I like you. Let's be together."

Xu Qing's bold confession caused her brain to explode. She looked at Tang Yu in astonishment. Tang Yu's face was also a bit uneasy: "Actually, the words just now, I copied them online."

"But please believe that I truly want to be together with you and protect you well. I know that no matter how much you say, it's useless. You just need to look at my performance."

This fool, how could she confess to such a matter? However, Xu Qing suddenly felt her heart warm up. Seeing Tang Yu's nervous expression, Xu Qing nodded without a care: "I have no objections."

People are always like this. They always know exactly what they don't like, but they don't know what they really like. Xu Qing thought that she really liked Jiang Jian, but after An Ning had gotten together with him, she completely gave up on this idea.

That shouldn't truly be something that he likes, right? If he really does like it, how could he so easily let go of it.

But Tang Yu was different. No matter what happened, he would always stay by his side without any complaints or regrets. Thinking back to everything that had happened between her and Tang Yu, Xu Qing couldn't help but smile.

"Qingqing, did I hear wrong?"

Xu Qing's answer was too quick. Tang Yu even suspected that he'd heard wrongly.

With a blushing face, Xu Qing muttered to herself: "You're a pig."

Only now did Tang Yu realize that Xu Qing had truly promised him. "I …" Tang Yu was too agitated, so much so that he didn't know what to say.

"Go, go, go to high school." Xu Qing didn't want the two of them to stay here any longer, so she pulled Tang Yu into the crowd.

On the other side, An Ning felt a little hungry, so she sat down to eat in the dining room that was in the private room. Xu Sai also got up and said, "It just so happens that I'm hungry too."

"Then let's go together." An Ning smiled as she invited him.

How could that be? There was no one in the next restaurant, so what was a man and a woman talking about? Jiang Xian wanted to say something to stop him, but he held himself back. If he did say that, An Ning would ask him who he was with a mocking expression on her face.

Therefore, when the two people at the side stood up, Jiang Jia Han also stood up, and Xu Wang rang the bell to call the waiter to order An Ning's favorite dishes. When he saw that Jiang Jia Han was sitting at the side, Xu Wang politely asked: "What does Mister Jiang like, you go first."

Jiang Jia, however, didn't extend his hand to receive the menu. Instead, he smiled: "Whatever An Ning eats, I'll eat."

An Ning was speechless, this shameless ability of Jiang Jia really increased with the passing of time.

She had a meal with Xu Wang, so why would this person join in? She took the menu from Xu Wang's hands. Didn't she like it?

In fact, An Ning wasn't particularly picky with food, but Jiang Jia had a few things that she didn't eat. After all, they had been together for three years, so she still knew some of Jiang Jian's little habits.

Therefore, An Ning specially picked the spot that Jiang Han didn't want to eat. Jiang Jia Han didn't like grass fish, so she wanted a steamed grass fish instead. It was best if Jiang Han was caught by the fish bone while he was eating.

The dishes arrived very quickly. An Ning really liked eating prawns, so Xu Wang ordered three types of prawns for her. As soon as the prawns came, Xu Wang began to peel them.

Every time he saw the blissful look on An Ning's face as she ate, he would feel very happy.

Xu Wang peeled off the prawn and placed it on An Ning's plate. An Ning didn't even have time to put it into her mouth before she already put the shrimp into her mouth. Xu Wang and An Ning looked at each other speechlessly.

After that, the steamed fish was served. An Ning looked forward to seeing Jiang Jianxin frown. He loved to eat fish, but he didn't like to eat fish with thorns.

However, to An Ning's surprise, Jiang Xian didn't even frown. Instead, she patiently picked up a piece of fish from the fish's belly and placed it on a plate. Then, she started to patiently pick at the fish.

An Ning didn't want to pay any more attention to him and continued to eat her own prawns. However, she didn't expect Jiang Xiushan to place the fish meat with a good pair of chopsticks into An Ning's bowl.

She was helpless and just as she was about to refuse, Xu Wang had already picked up An Ning's bowl and put it into his mouth. He then said to Jiang Xiushan on purpose, "Thank you very much."

A dangerous look appeared in Jiang Jia's cold eyes. He had been too lazy to pick a fight with the fish in the past, but this stinky brat had snatched it away from him. He was angry and annoyed, but thinking about how he had eaten the other person's prawns first, he couldn't help but feel wronged.

An Ning was speechless as she sat between the two of them. Were these two children?

Her hand that was holding the chopsticks suddenly stopped. Seeing that she had not eaten for a long time, Xu Yourong intimately placed everything that An Ning liked into her bowl.

In less than two minutes, An Ning's plate was full of dishes.

How could An Ning still be in the mood to eat after being tossed around like this? Her appetite had almost been completely disturbed by these two people.

She got up. "I'm going to the bathroom."

After An Ning had left, the two men in the restaurant who disliked each other glared at each other. However, Xu Wang's temper was much colder than Jiang Ning's, so Jiang Li naturally couldn't sit still and went out to find An Ning.

An Ning, who was in a complicated mood, went to the bathroom to fix her makeup. Those two just now were really enough. She really couldn't take it anymore.

The place where he washed his hands in the bar was shared between men and women. When An Ning washed her hands, there was a man standing beside her.

An Ning only glanced at the man beside her, not paying any more attention. After wiping her hands clean, she prepared to go find Xu Qing. However, just as she reached the door of the toilet, the man followed her.

"Beauty, please wait." Only now did An Ning clearly see the man's face. Her hair was dyed jet-black, and she had a typical hairstyle of a barber shop. She wore a black leather jacket, but because of the length of time she had been wearing it, there were already some cracks on his jacket.

The man smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"What's the matter?"

"Beautiful girl, I saw you playing by yourself here, and coincidentally, I was also alone today. How about we form a party?"

An Ning immediately turned around and left. "There's no need." That man had been staring at An Ning for a long time. How could he let her leave so easily?
