Chapter 121 A Joyful and Harmonious Moment
in the apartment.
When Ning Xiuyang returned, the hotel delivery had already arrived, and the table was full of food.
Apart from Shen Youyou, Tang Wei and the Zheng sisters were all in the living room, chatting and scrolling through their phones while waiting for her.
"Brother, you're back!"
Upon seeing Ning Xiuyang, Zheng Yulu, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa with her legs drawn up, immediately brightened up. Without even putting on her shoes, she rushed over barefoot with great joy.
Since no dinner had been prepared, Zheng Yulu and the others had all finished showering. They were all bare-faced, with fair and moist skin that looked delicate and rosy. Especially since they were all wearing pajamas, they were quite a sight to behold.
Zheng Yulu was wearing a loose pink and white spaghetti strap short nightgown. The skirt was very short, revealing her long, shapely, and firm legs, which were as white as the moon. She hopped and skipped over to greet him. If it weren't for the presence of Zheng Yumeng and Tang Wei, judging from the impulsive look in her eyes, she probably would have rushed into his arms.
Ning Xiuyang smiled gently, pinched Zheng Yulu's high nose, and then chuckled, "Hmm, the meals I ordered should have arrived by now, right?"
"It's here."
"Brother, why did you order so much? And it's such a lavish meal! We're afraid we won't be able to finish it all!"
Zheng Yumeng also stood up, looked at Ning Xiuyang, and said with a smile.
Ning Xiuyang smiled and said, "It's alright, eat as much as you want, it's on me today."
After saying that, he looked at Tang Wei, who was silent but staring intently at him, smiled and waved, asking with concern, "Weiwei, why do you look so down?"
Tang Wei's expression was complicated. Hearing Ning Xiuyang's question, she quickly shook her head, hesitated, and said, "I'm fine, brother, let's eat, or it'll get cold."
After saying that, she concealed the complexity in her eyes, smiled, and walked forward to take Ning Xiuyang's arm. The group then headed into the restaurant.
In fact, Tang Wei's feelings were quite complicated when she saw Ning Xiuyang again.
Ever since she overheard Zheng Yulu saying that Li Mingfeng had secretly borrowed 20,000 yuan from Ning Xiuyang, she had been tormented by the news.
The Zheng sisters were unaware that she already knew about this, but even at such a young age, no matter how precocious she was, with the huge debt of 20,000 yuan weighing on her mind and the 'betrayal' of her adopted brother stuck in her heart, how could she pretend that nothing had happened?
At least she was relieved that Li Mingfeng had borrowed the money from her brother, not from someone else.
But it was also what made her feel embarrassed.
I already owe my brother too much.
Especially during the period after I rented the apartment, he transferred money to me and gave me gifts. I also found a new part-time job thanks to him.
It could be said that her brother's appearance almost changed the trajectory of her life.
I used to work part-time every day, and I was so busy I barely had time to breathe.
But now at least I have some spare time to cultivate interpersonal relationships!
Isn't this a way to change one's destiny?
Therefore, when she saw Ning Xiuyang again, her heart was filled with complex emotions. When she thought about the 20,000 yuan debt, she didn't know how to face him.
Seeing Tang Wei's hesitant expression, Ning Xiuyang smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he led the three of them into the restaurant.
"Where's Youyou?"
Zheng Yumeng said, "Why isn't she coming out yet? Lulu, go and call her. Brother finally comes back for a visit, and there's so much delicious food. What's wrong with her hiding?"
Zheng Yulu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and went to knock on Shen Youyou's door.
She lives in the only room on the first floor, which is convenient.
"Youyou, your brother's back! There's so much delicious food, come out and eat with us!"
Zheng Yulu stood at the door and knocked before speaking softly.
But the response she received was one filled with anger.
"You guys eat it, I can't afford it, I'm afraid of getting food poisoning!"
Full of resentment.
Zheng Yulu turned around and looked at Ning Xiuyang and the other two, puzzled.
Zheng Yumeng and Tang Wei were both bewildered, not understanding why Shen Youyou was so angry. They exchanged a glance and then turned their gazes to Ning Xiuyang at the same time.
Ning Xiuyang was naturally aware of the source of Shen Youyou's resentment.
Yesterday's Truth or Dare game was indeed a bit too much. She's a young girl who's never been in a relationship and has just turned 18. She mustered up the courage to accept the confession, only to be told it was a Truth or Dare game. Anyone else would be annoyed.
However, Ning Xiuyang had no intention of taking the initiative to apologize or ask her to come out.
The embarrassment of being rejected back then is exactly the same as her feelings now; neither of them should laugh at the other.
It's even less likely that he would treat her differently just because he slept with her mother.
Lick the dog is not good to die.
Ning Xiuyang smiled faintly, waved to Zheng Yulu, and said, "Since she's not going to eat, let her go hungry. We'll eat ours."
Zheng Yulu was stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with Zheng Yumeng and Tang Wei. The three of them rolled their eyes and immediately understood that the source of Shen Youyou's anger was probably her brother, otherwise her brother would not have spoken like that.
Since that's the case, let the two of them resolve their own conflict; there's no need to get involved.
Zheng Yulu returned to her seat in the restaurant.
Immediately, the four of them started eating.
Zheng Yulu chattered away, telling Ning Xiuyang about the events of the past few days and the amusing stories of their search for a place to rent.
It's worth mentioning that they've already rented out two apartments in the past few days, both to students in the same grade.
Tang Wei said that several senior female students in their second and third years also intend to rent apartments, and they are currently in contact with them. If all goes well, they can be brought over to see the apartments in the next few days, and then she can get a large commission.
Ning Xiuyang was also very happy to see the girls chattering away, each telling their own stories of "achievements".
He enjoyed the harmonious atmosphere.
There was a lot of seafood on the table. The girls all had small stomachs, and they were almost full before Ning Xiuyang even started eating.
So the girls took turns peeling lobster shells and crab shells for him, collecting the shrimp and crab meat into a small bowl, which he then ate in one gulp.
A lively and intimate atmosphere permeated the apartment.
at last.
When Ning Xiuyang was halfway through his meal, Shen Youyou couldn't resist coming out.
She was wearing a pair of sky-blue jeans, her legs were plump and long, and her breasts were no less impressive than her mother Shen Yourong's, trembling slightly as she walked angrily.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Shen Youyou stared at Ning Xiuyang.
The table was a complete mess.
Several small mountains of shells were piled up, all peeled by Tang Wei and the Zheng sisters.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Shen Youyou's stomach rumbled loudly. She hadn't eaten since being 'humiliated' by Ning Xiuyang last night.
Looking at all this delicious food, she couldn't help but lick her lips.
But immediately, she straightened her face, glared angrily at Ning Xiuyang, and said in a half-joking, half-angry tone, "Ning Xiuyang, what exactly do you mean?"
"I already agreed, so why are you using 'Truth or Dare' as an excuse to humiliate me?"
