Chapter 776: Brother, This Is Good Too

“I’m glad you think so. Xiao Wei has good grades and has always been in the top three of his class. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask him. He’ll definitely teach you patiently, right?”

Xiao Yang said as he gave Xiao Wei a look. Xiao Wei coughed lightly. “Little Jiu is now the top student in the school as well. She probably doesn’t need me to teach her.”

“Number one?” Xiao Yang was pleasantly surprised. “Little Jiu is so amazing. In that case, my silly son doesn’t have to teach you. Why don’t you teach him?”

Amused, Su Jiu replied, “Uncle, he doesn’t need me to teach him.”

“Who says he doesn’t? He’s more introverted and doesn’t know how to talk to people. You’ll have to teach him that. You’re a lot livelier and more cheerful than he is.”

Xiao Wei was immediately embarrassed and quickly took another sip of water.

But Dad is right. Sometimes I feel too introverted. If only I had Han Siye’s courage.

Su Jiu turned to look at him and smiled. “Brother Wei is very good like this. He’s gentle and refined. I feel very comfortable interacting with him. There is no need for him to change his personality.”

Xiao Wei was stunned. He immediately turned his head and met her smiling clear eyes.

His heart lurched, then he began to blush.

Little Jiu, is that a compliment?

She still has a good impression of me, doesn’t she?

This was good for him. Xiao Wei didn’t want to be like Han Siye and tell Su Jiu what was in his heart directly. He didn’t want to hear her reject him, nor did he want her to distance herself from him as she did to Han Siye. Therefore, it was good for them to maintain their current relationship.

Soon, the waiter brought the menu over and handed it to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang took it and passed it to Su Jiu. “Little Jiu, Uncle is treating you today. Order whatever you want. You’re welcome.”

“Okay. Thank you, Uncle!”

After the waiter served the steak, Xiao Wei took the initiative to cut it and placed the best part on Su Jiu’s plate.

Xiao Yang, who was opposite him, was immediately heartbroken. Look! This is the son I painstakingly nurtured. In the end, his mind is all on girls. He did not even look at me, let alone cut my steak.

Hmph, it would be fine if this kid can marry Little Jiu in the future. If not, I would laugh!

***

The lunch ended an hour later. Xiao Wei deliberately ate much slower than usual to spend more time with Su Jiu.

Su Jiu felt anxious, wondering where the little villain was now. She glanced at her cell phone from time to time. He had not called or sent a message.

Xiao Wei picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped the corner of his lips. He looked at her and asked, “Do you have something urgent?”

Su Jiu came back to her senses and laughed dryly. “It’s nothing. A friend is coming over. I have to pick him up later.”

Xiao Wei’s expression changed slightly. “A friend?”

Yeah, friend.

Xiao Wei fell silent. The friend she is talking about is that Rong Si, right?

Although he wasn’t sure, his strong intuition told him it was. He could tell from Little Jiu’s expression that he was someone she cared about.

Xiao Yang could tell that something was unusual and asked curiously, “A friend? Little Jiu, who is it? Do I know him?”

She smiled at him. “I don’t think so.”

“Oh… so, is it a boy or a girl?”

Su Jiu was suddenly embarrassed. “Boy.”

“Just friends, huh?”
