Chapter 167

Inside a certain high school in New Eridu, a Shark-person was running rapidly in the hallway. Her speed was extremely fast, yet her breathing was unusually steady.

"Dong dong——!"

She soon arrived at the classroom door and knocked on the iron door with a nervous mood.

The bustling sounds in the classroom stopped instantly, turning unusually quiet, appearing both strange and reasonable.

"Enter——!"

A serious and solemn voice came from inside the classroom.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, mustered up her courage, and slowly pushed open the iron door. The gazes in the classroom cast toward her in unison, and a female teacher on the podium looked at her with unprovoked majesty.

At this moment, she felt like crying, and shouted with a stiff upper lip: "Report."

"Come in, student Ailian, hurry back to your seat. After class, find a classmate to copy the notes."

The teacher nodded slightly, signaling Ailian could come in.

Seeing the teacher wasn't angry, Ailian nodded in surprise and accepted, walking quickly back to her seat and sitting down.

After she was completely seated, the teacher then continued her teaching task, and the students below also withdrew their gazes one after another.

Ailian covered her chest with her little hand and let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had Ye Qingfeng call the teacher in the morning, explaining it in her brother's name.

However, the teacher really was as serious and responsible as ever......

They argued for a long time over how to prove he was her brother, and it was only when she took the phone to explain that she finally called out: "Brother Qingfeng~" (*ˊ? ˋ)????

Looks like good news, right?

The bad news is behind!

Although it dispelled the teacher's doubts, the teacher simultaneously proposed a home visit. Clearly, she knew the situation in Ailian's home.

The teacher set it directly for after school today, without giving any chance for refusal, and hung up the phone politely.

"Eh——!"

Sharky sighs......

After all, for previous parent-teacher meetings and such, she had always let Lycaon or Rina help. The teacher had undoubtedly seen through the identities of the two easily.

One Wolf-person, one floating in the sky, one elegant, one dignified!

The teacher glanced at the lazy Ailian, then pulled the two of them aside for a scolding.

After that, Lycaon and Rina stopped talking about this matter, and among the people Ailian knew, only these two could help.

After experiencing this incident, when encountering things like parent-teacher meetings again, Ailian helplessly approached the two again.

Lycaon lost his composure rarely, and after giving her a sum of Denny, he left, indicating he was powerless to help.

The corners of Rina's mouth, which usually carried a smile, suddenly froze after hearing her words, took out a plate of fish-head cake to give her, and then slowly floated away in her direction.

Facts have proven...... no matter how old a person is, they are no different from a child in front of a high-honor teacher.

The teacher must have suspected Ye Qingfeng was an impostor again, which led to this surprise home visit.

Fortunately, after Ailian acted spoiled with a thick skin, Ye Qingfeng finally agreed to help with this favor. Thinking of this, her mood was somewhat subtle.

She looked forward to Ye Qingfeng's bowing and scraping appearance if he were discovered; she felt relieved because he was willing to help; although it was a disguise, it really gave her a feeling of having a relative, and she was excited while also somewhat lost.

But who is she? She's the famous "no worries"!

There's nothing that can't be solved by a sleep. If there is...... then sleep again!

"Ailian, why did you come so late today?"

Ruby saw Ailian, whose expression was changing rapidly, blinked her eyes in confusion, leaned down, and asked in a low voice.

"Because I had to wait for Qing...... Ugh——!" Ailian answered almost subconsciously, and after noticing she had said the wrong thing, immediately covered her mouth and explained guiltily: "Because I tried to make today's lunch in the morning, so I came a bit late......"

Ruby's gaze went from suspicion at the beginning to playfulness later, and she didn't continue to ask, as she had already understood the ins and outs of the matter.

If there was anyone in the world who understood Ailian best, that person was undoubtedly her!

There was excitement that couldn't be hidden in Ruby's eyes, and she pretended to listen to the lecture well, but her mind was bustling with activity.

Can't say for other things...... but there was one point she could be sure of!

That was that Ailian and Brother Qingfeng were living together——!!

Ruby, knowing this kind of news, felt like she had won 500 million Denny.

While not daring to make it public, she was incomparably excited in her heart.

"Hoo hoo...... calm down!"

Ruby covered her chest, calming her excited mood.

She could only hold this secret and spend the morning. The bell for the last class rang, and she stretched subconsciously, pulling Ailian and preparing to go eat lunch.

Mona and Rin in the front row also stood up one after another, waiting for the two to go to the cafeteria together.

"Ugh... Ruby, you guys go ahead, I brought food." Ailian shook her head and refused, then took out a blue lunch box from her bag.

"Ailian, when did you learn to cook? So amazing!" Mona opened her mouth in surprise and praised sincerely.

"So suspicious......" Rin stared fixedly at Ailian, trying to see clues from her expression.

Ailian felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and could only look at Rin with a stiff smile. Just as she was about to be unable to hold on, Ruby jumped out like a kind little angel.

"Bring the lunch box and let's go to the cafeteria to eat together. I want to taste Ailian's craft!"

"That's right, that's right! Let's go, Ailian!"

"Let's go together." Rin and Mona hurriedly echoed.

"Then let's go." Ailian didn't understand what was so good about going together, but since they all said so, she still agreed. Alright...... actually, Ailian was just too lazy to walk......

The four good sisters, two by two, held hands and came to the cafeteria.

At this time, the cafeteria was already crowded, but fortunately, the first batch of students who came to eat had also finished, and one could see people leaving their seats from time to time.

"Ailian, Ailian, seats, hurry!" Ruby, with sharp eyes, soon found a seat and pulled Ailian toward that side noisily.

What else could Ailian do? She lowered her head, trying to avoid the gazes of the surrounding crowd.

After all, she wasn't as "socially gifted" as Ruby. She would rather find a corner to stand in than shout and look for seats in the cafeteria.

After Ailian sat in the empty seat, Ruby repeatedly instructed her to watch the seat well, then took Mona and Rin to order food.

Ailian nodded in agreement, watching the backs of the three as they walked away, and only then lowered her head to open the lunch box.

Inside was the food Ye Qingfeng had carefully prepared during breakfast. The various dishes dazzled her, making her recall the scene in the morning.

Upon learning that it was late and she might be late, the 1.5 million Denny skincare products in Ailian's hand were no longer important. She sprinted into the bathroom to start washing up, then ran back to her room to change into her student uniform.

By the time she was about to go out, she remembered that Ye Qingfeng hadn't been seen for a long time, and soon found him in the kitchen.

At this time, Ye Qingfeng was wearing a blue apron, holding a spatula and stir-frying.

Wearing a set of black pajamas, yet wearing an apron with a little shark pattern on it, Ailian only felt it had such a sense of contrast.

She laughed out loud with a "pfft"!

Noticing Ailian's snickering, Ye Qingfeng wasn't angry, turned his head, and said kindly: "Almost done, eat breakfast before leaving."

Ailian looked at Ye Qingfeng in a daze, the feeling before her eyes felt so unreal.

She rubbed her eyes and looked closely. He was still standing in place, with a smile like a spring breeze, just like a father worried that his daughter wouldn't eat breakfast, getting up early to prepare breakfast, working hard without complaint, asking for no return......

Ailian had experienced this feeling more than ten years ago. Seeing this scene again at this moment, her eye sockets gradually moistened, and the next second, a few small pearls slid down her cheeks.

Crying~?????

If she had never experienced this kind of thing, she might not have had such a big reaction.

But after the fall of the Old Capital, her parents died accidentally, and she had walked through all these years strongly.

Now this scene touched her deeply.

"Er...... Ailian, did dust get into your eyes? Come over, I'll help you blow it!" After getting along for so long, Ye Qingfeng knew some inside information more or less, but he was just simply making breakfast and didn't think in that direction at all.

Ailian lowered her head and walked toward Ye Qingfeng step by step. He had already prepared to help blow it. Just as she walked in front, Ailian suddenly crashed into him without warning. Her forehead hit Ye Qingfeng's chest, followed by burying her face into it, her arms hugging his waist tightly.

Ye Qingfeng's hands hung in mid-air, somewhat confused by Ailian's behavior. Just as he wanted to ask what was going on, he suddenly felt a wet sensation coming from his chest.

"What's wrong? Why is our little Ailian crying? It's okay~!" A flash of inspiration hit him, and in an instant, he understood the reason. One hand supported Ailian's waist, and the other hand patted her back gently.

"I'm always here!" Ye Qingfeng only felt the body in his arms trembling slightly, and he took the initiative to hug Ailian tighter, saying with a firm tone.

Don't know how much time passed, the two maintained this posture without moving for a long time, until a burnt smell drifted into Ye Qingfeng's nasal cavity. He reacted instantly and hurriedly reached out to turn off the gas.

"Finished! It's burnt!" Ye Qingfeng held the spatula with one hand, flipped the breakfast in the pot, and as expected, a patch of charred black appeared, saying with a desire to cry but no tears.

"Sorry......" Ailian left Ye Qingfeng's embrace somewhat reluctantly, thinking that the breakfast being burnt was her fault, her voice low, carrying thick apologies.

"Blame me, blame me, Ailian is so cute, what fault could she have?" Ye Qingfeng shook his head slightly, leaned down, and gently wiped the tears on Ailian's face with his clothes, soothing her softly.

"Cute is not a crime?" Ailian looked at Ye Qingfeng in a daze, having no reaction to his actions. After he withdrew his hand, she tilted her head and asked innocently.

"Not at all~ Ailian is always right!" Ye Qingfeng laughed softly, gently cupping Ailian's cheeks, his tone frivolous but incomparably serious.

Ailian's fair cheeks gradually flushed under Ye Qingfeng's gaze. She pushed away his hands bashfully and shouted somewhat angrily: "I'm already an adult! Don't treat me like a child!"

"Alright, alright~~ Then I wonder if this adult can accept a slightly burnt breakfast?" Ye Qingfeng curled his lips dotingly and asked following Ailian's words.

"Of course!" Ailian answered sonorously.

After Ye Qingfeng put the breakfast into the plate and carried the two plates to the living room, Ailian followed behind, holding two pairs of chopsticks in her hand.

"Taste it, hope it won't be too bad......" Ye Qingfeng pushed one of the plates in front of Ailian, saying somewhat nervously.

He originally intended to make a luxurious breakfast for Ailian, but considering she still had school, he had to simplify it. Never expected that such a simple thing would have an accident. Thinking of this, he could only twitch his lips bitterly.

Ailian didn't dislike it at all, picked up a large piece, and stuffed it into her mouth. The burnt-outside-tender-inside texture was quite delicious to her. After all, she could easily eat the food Rina made, and she didn't care about this little problem at all.

Except for a slightly burnt taste, the flavor was actually ordinary, after all, Ye Qingfeng made it casually to save time. But in Ailian's eyes, this was the most delicious food, none other！！！！

"Mm~! Very delicious!! If only I could eat the food Qingfeng makes every day!" Ailian revealed an incomparably happy expression, as if what she was eating was some kind of human delicacy.

Ye Qingfeng saw her eating such ordinary food, yet looking as if she were already very satisfied, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. For him, a burnt meat patty, if given to Nico to eat, would be met with her complaints. As for why it wasn't Anbi? Feels like she eats whatever food quite happily......

Rina: Really? I just made a cake!

Anbi: Thanks...... I'm not hungry......

"Tell me what you want to eat in the future, I'll come over to help you make it when I have time." Ye Qingfeng looked at Ailian dotingly and stroked her head gently.

"Would that be too much trouble?" Ailian lowered her head bashfully.

"Not at all, not at all! If Ailian doesn't mind, I'll come over to cook for you from time to time!" Ye Qingfeng made a promise with certainty.

"Hee hee! Then I won't be polite——!" Ailian slowly raised her head and revealed a kind smile. But in Ye Qingfeng's eyes, it was a forced smile. His doting on Ailian increased by another point.

Noticing Ye Qingfeng's gaze, Ailian hurriedly lowered her head and continued eating breakfast in large mouthfuls. Her heart had long since blossomed with joy.

Although she was lazy, she understood one principle: the child who cries gets the milk!

Of course, what she just said was a true expression of feelings, and at the same time, it was all a lie.

The food Ye Qingfeng made with his own hands, even if it was burnt, was still the most delicious food in Ailian's eyes.

As for the things she said afterward, it was just to get Ye Qingfeng to spend more time on her.

In normal times, she couldn't say these things.

But in order to see Ye Qingfeng more, she could only say these things with a thick skin.

Just as she was eating in large mouthfuls, Ye Qingfeng suddenly remembered something, raised his head, and asked: "That...... is time already running out?"

Ailian: ……QAQ

Finished——! How did I forget about this!
