Chapter 260: Not Mature Enough ⑤
He had known before that Nie Qiu, Huang Yan, and Peng Yu Yang were good friends, playing together after class, eating lunch together, and leaving school together. For Nie Qiu, Peng Yu Yang was definitely a unique presence compared to Ye Haifei.
Luo Xu pulled Bai Ya to the stir-fry section to order two dishes and saw Li Kai standing at the doorway with a dark expression. Following Li Kai’s gaze, he saw Peng Yu Yang and Nie Qiu sitting together. He raised an eyebrow and called out to Nie Qiu’s back with a smile, “Nie Qiu!”
Nie Qiu heard someone call her and quickly turned around, seeing Li Kai standing at the doorway at a glance. “Li Kai, come over quickly!”
Regarding Nie Qiu’s neglect, Luo Xu shrugged and led Bai Ya towards the table where Nie Qiu and the others were sitting. He sat diagonally opposite Nie Qiu, on the same side as Peng Yu Yang. Li Kai was pleased with Nie Qiu’s neglect of Luo Xu. He glanced at Peng Yu Yang with a hint of smugness and walked over.
Li Kai’s smug glance caused Peng Yu Yang a moment of bewilderment. He paused for a moment before chuckling.
Li Kai walked over and, seeing no food on the table for him, was about to order two dishes when Nie Qiu stopped him. “I can’t finish this by myself, eat with me.”
Upon hearing this, Li Kai’s smile bloomed. He sat beside Nie Qiu as requested, picked up a spoon from Nie Qiu’s meal tray, scooped up some rice, and brought it to Nie Qiu’s mouth.
Seeing this, Nie Qiu opened her mouth and ate it.
Li Kai glanced at Peng Yu Yang again. Seeing that Peng Yu Yang wasn’t unhappy, he opened his mouth towards Nie Qiu.
“Pfft…” Peng Yu Yang let out a chuckle. “Li Kai, you don’t need to put on an act… I’m watching… I might lose my appetite.”
Li Kai was not embarrassed by being seen through. He just snorted and started eating with Nie Qiu.
“I say, Li Kai, from now on, you have to call me brother.” Peng Yu Yang picked up his meal tray and gave some of the uneaten food to Nie Qiu’s tray. “Nie Qiu has recognized me as her brother now.”
“Recognized you as your brother? What makes you think that?” Li Kai looked at Peng Yu Yang, still annoyed. Nie Qiu actually wanted to give him things, which made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.
“Li Kai…” Nie Qiu tugged at Li Kai. “Peng Yu Yang is the brother I recognized.” As for why, it shouldn’t be judged by Li Kai.
“So? Call me brother?” Peng Yu Yang smiled triumphantly.
“…” Li Kai looked at Nie Qiu. Seeing Nie Qiu looking at him, he gritted his teeth. “Bro…” What a joke!
“Hey!” Peng Yu Yang responded cheerfully, even happier than when Nie Qiu called him brother.
Time always flew by. With just over a month left until the Senior High School Entrance Examination, a countdown was already written on the blackboard, a red number: 36. The intense study life left all the third-year junior high classmates with no extra thoughts for the impending farewells. Class 10 and Class 5 were still rivals, disliking each other, but the students of Class 10 had now grown accustomed to Ye Haifei from Class 5 appearing in their classroom daily.
Every morning at six o’clock, Ye Haifei was always present for Class 10’s morning class. This was because he found that his monthly exam grades had improved significantly. This was thanks to Class 10’s morning class; in that atmosphere, even if he didn’t want to attend class seriously, he wouldn’t dare to slack off.
However… the problems Nie Qiu wrote on the blackboard were naturally answered by Ye Haifei and Li Kai. The two treated answering questions as a competition, but their grades were equally matched. When answering questions, Ye Haifei lost, Li Kai won; Li Kai won, Ye Haifei lost. Often, they were tied, and the students of Class 10 were used to it.
Every day, Ye Haifei diligently bought milk and steamed buns for Nie Qiu. Nie Qiu accepted them, and Li Kai, without regard for whether he had eaten breakfast, unceremoniously took them to eat, because Nie Qiu had frowned the one time he threw away something Ye Haifei bought.
