‘In fact, this afternoon, she had mustered up the courage to talk to Yuxi about it. But Yuxi seemed busy at the time—still, she patiently explained a few things.’
‘She said something like… she was texting her brother because someone at home had a fever, and she needed to ask about the situation.’
‘Right!’
‘Until just now, Su Xiaomeng had thought that if Yuxi found out she could only afford plain steamed buns, she would definitely be looked down on and despised. They would never be friends.’
‘She had thought Yuxi was deliberately ignoring her, making up an excuse to change the subject.’
‘But maybe… Yuxi really was just busy?’
‘It wasn’t Su Xiaomeng’s fault for thinking that way—after all, when Yuxi discovered this, it happened to coincide with Qingyu’s fever. It was easy to misunderstand.’
‘On the phone screen, as she was still pondering, Yuyang summarized it in one sentence.’
– ‘In fact, many things come down to the word ‘inferiority complex.’ As a person, what others think of you isn’t the most important thing. The most important thing is to first respect yourself. Tell your old friend that if she’s poor, she must be self-reliant. Be more confident in daily life, and find time to have a good talk with her new friend. Nothing is unsolvable.’
‘After listening carefully to Yuyang’s words, Su Xiaomeng saw the light.’
‘A smile broke out on her gloomy face. She brought the phone close to her, thanking him sincerely from the bottom of her heart, even making her twin ponies bounce up and down.’
– ‘Mm! Thank you so much, Senior! I’ll make sure to pass on your words to her. She’ll definitely understand!’
‘Yuyang truly witnessed what it meant to have light in one’s eyes when speaking.’
‘Right now, Su Xiaomeng’s eyes seemed to shine, sparkling brightly.’
‘Not only was she cute and hardworking, but she also seemed to be an optimistic child.’
‘Yuyang smiled along and said, “Alright, since the problem is solved, hurry home. If you’re not eager to go home after work, something must be wrong with your attitude.”’
– ‘Ah! I’m heading home now! Goodbye, Senior!’
– ‘Okay, goodbye.’
‘Yuyang hung up, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.’
‘Perhaps, without even realizing it, he had given an inspirational girl a lot of confidence.’
‘As expected of me—not only handsome, but also witty.’
‘Well, the witty and handsome Yuyang still had to go clean up the dishes on the table.’
‘Just as he was carrying the dishes into the kitchen, Yuxi returned.’
– ‘Brother, let me help wash the dishes~’
– ‘No need, Xiaoxi. I’ve already heated the bathwater for you. Go take a shower. Is Qingyu still running a fever?’
– ‘Mm… not completely down yet. It’s still hovering around 37-something degrees, but it’s fine. Looks like she’ll be able to go to school after a good night’s sleep.’
– ‘That’s good. Xiaoxi, you need to eat properly. Don’t be like Qingyu. One of you is enough to worry me; if you do the same, I’ll go crazy.’
– ‘Hehe, I have to stay healthy. Otherwise, how can I put your mind at ease, brother?’
‘As she spoke, Yuxi stood on tiptoe and playfully reached up to pat Yuyang’s head, just like he usually patted hers.’
– ‘Little girl… Alright, as long as you eat well, I’m relieved. Go take a bath now.’
– ‘Yes, my dear brother~’
‘Tch tch tch. Sometimes, the usually introverted Xiaoxi could be a little mischievous.’
‘Yuyang continued washing the dishes happily, but suddenly he heard from the kitchen doorway the light, questioning voice of Xiaoxi, who should have already gone to take a shower.’
‘Indeed, her tone was very cheerful, but to Yuyang, it sounded clearly like an interrogation…’
– ‘Hey, brother, when I was at Sister Qingyu’s place earlier, who were you on the phone with?’
– ‘I wasn’t on the pho… huh.’
‘How did you know I was on the phone?!’
‘Yuyang turned around and saw Yuxi holding the phone he had left on the sofa, shaking it.’
‘Yuxi looked at the phone and muttered to herself, “Oh dear… I accidentally touched brother’s phone, you know. Then I noticed it was still warm, and brother doesn’t play games at this hour… Then, also accidentally, I used my birthday to unlock it! And accidentally, I found an unfamiliar account at the top of the call log… Brother, could you tell your dear sister who this is?”’
‘Xiaoxi! The more you talk, the scarier your eyes become!’
‘And your three consecutive “accidentally” were clearly done with strong intent!’
‘With no way out, Yuyang decisively dropped the dish in his hand, turned around, and told the whole truth.’
– ‘Don’t misunderstand! That account belongs to the junior at the restaurant where I work. Didn’t I tell you about her yesterday?’
– ‘Oh? You mean that girl who just got hired yesterday, the one you mentioned?’
– ‘Yes, yes! That’s her. And today, since I took a leave, she just started and doesn’t understand many things, so she called to ask me.’
– ‘Is that all?’
– ‘That’s all!’
‘Hmph… There was no need to be so nervous, but why did Yuyang always unconsciously get tense whenever Yuxi was in this state?’
– ‘If that’s all, then it’s fine, brother.’ Yuxi smiled, locked Yuyang’s phone, and placed it on the shelf nearby. ‘Honestly, brother, you just lack self-awareness. Think about it: you’re good-looking, have an outstanding temperament, and excel in every aspect. You’ve only known this junior for one day through work, and you’ve already added her as a friend. I hope you understand that I’m saying all this because I’m afraid you might be deceived by some bad women. As your sister and family member, I have to stand guard.’
‘Pfft, is there such a position?…’
– ‘Brother, no smiling! This is a serious issue!’
– ‘Yes!’
‘When being scolded, one must stand at attention!’
‘After all, the one he was dealing with was his little princess.’
– ‘So,’ Yuxi said with a smile, ‘regarding the matter of me meeting this junior of yours as soon as possible, please make it happen quickly. Brother, I remember we already agreed on this yesterday~’
– ‘Ah…’
‘Ahaha, it seemed that way. Because Yuyang had mentioned that this junior was also a student from Qifeng No.1 Middle School, Yuxi had said yesterday she wanted to meet her.’
‘But Yuyang didn’t think it was that important… So when he was on the phone with Su Xiaomeng just now, he forgot to ask.’
– ‘Brother?’
– ‘Alright! No problem! Tomorrow I’ll ask which class she’s in and arrange a meeting as soon as possible!’
‘Ah, optimistic and inspirational little classmate Su Xiaomeng, I hope you can stay optimistic. My little sister wants to see you, so I have no choice but to sell you out!’
– ‘Great, I’ll leave it to you, brother. This is to put everyone at ease.’
– ‘I understand. Oh, by the way, since that’s the case, how about we invite her and Qingyu to eat together at school tomorrow at noon? Since we have to meet anyway, it’s better to do it during the lunch break. That way, we won’t take up time between classes or have to go back and forth.’
– ‘Sounds good. I’ll go along with whatever you arrange, brother.’
‘Mmm, Yuyang came up with this on the spur of the moment.’
‘This way, not only could Xiaoxi meet Su Xiaomeng, but it could also boost Su Xiaomeng’s confidence.’
‘Hadn’t she just shown signs of inferiority? Afraid others would see her eating?’
‘After his earlier advice, she should be feeling better. Since they had to meet at school anyway, Yuyang might as well go the extra mile and take this opportunity to have her eat with Xiaoxi, Qingyu, and himself.’
‘While giving her a proper meal, he could also help her overcome her inferiority complex. Wasn’t that a good thing?’
