Chapter 21 It Is Good to Form New Partnerships After Rebirth

Zhang Lexuan’s face stiffened. He was afraid of that but it would have been very embarrassing to say it out loud.

While they were talking, the car eventually came to a stop. “We’re here. Let’s get out.” Zhang Lexuan opened the door and slipped out.

Xiao Yun smiled and followed him out of the

car.

“Fu Le Supermarket,” Xiao Yun muttered as he read the name of the supermarket.

“Let’s go in and take a look,” said Zhang Lexuan as he led Xiao Yun in.

They met many workers as they made their way in, and they all stopped to greet Zhang Lexuan. By now, Zhang Lexuan was exuding the maturity of a young master. He nodded at them as he walked past them.

Xiao Yun could tell from his posture that Zhang Lexuan had come to this supermarket many times. This meant that his family had been grooming him since he was young.

Zhang Lexuan led Xiao Yun around and eventually, the latter had a rough understanding of the supermarket. Although it was not as large as the supermarket in his previous life, their business was very well-run and there were many customers.

Xiao Yun thought that after the factory’s transformation, it should not be a big problem to partner up with the Zhangs’ supermarket.

Since the duo had already walked around the entire supermarket, they were ready to head back. And as promised to their other two friends, Zhang Lexuan packed a lot of snacks and asked the bodyguard behind him to take them to the car.

“Let’s have dinner at my house tonight.” Xiao Yun decided to invite Zhang Lexuan over. After all, he had troubled Zhang Lexuan a lot today.

Zhang Lexuan’s eyes were filled with surprise at first, but then he agreed.

Just like that, Xiao Yun showed the driver the way back to his home.

At this time, Xiao He had just finished cooking and was about to place a bowl on the table when he saw a car parked outside. He was a little puzzled.

Not long after, Xiao Yun led Zhang Lexuan into the house.

“Dad, I’m back.” Xiao Yun shouted before he entered the house.

When he saw the meat, vegetables, and soup on the table, he took a deep sniff and said, “Oh, it smells good. I’m hungry.”

Although the dishes on the table were simple, they were some of Xiao He’s best.

Xiao He was surprised to see Xiao Yun coming back with another kid.

If Xiao He was not mistaken, they had gotten out of the car that was outside.

Xiao Yun decided to explain. “Dad, I invited my friend over for a meal.”

“Hmm, my kid has been making some pretty good friends lately. He has been inviting over from time to time too,’ thought Xiao He to himself.

But that wasn’t a bad thing. It was better for children to have more friends.

And based on Xiao He’s observations, this child’s family background didn’t seem very ordinary.

Regardless, he kept his thoughts to himself and didn’t let them show on his face.

He hurriedly called Zhang Lexuan. “Come, sit here and eat.”

Then he went into the kitchen and took out a set of bowls and chopsticks.

“Dad, this is my friend Zhang Lexuan.” “Lexuan, this is my dad.” Xiao Yun introduced the two of them.

Zhang Lexuan very politely said, “Hello, Uncle.”

Xiao He served Zhang Lexuan a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him so that he could try it.

“Oh right, Son, Aunt Wang Li wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow,” said Xiao He suddenly.

Xiao Yun had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Plus, Xiao Yun knew that Aunt Wang Li was really inviting his dad, not him, to dinner. Since Aunt Wang Li was tactful enough to know that Xiao He would worry about what Xiao Yun would think, she decided to invite the son too.

Though Xiao Yun didn’t mind the two of them spending more time together, since Wang Li had already invited him, he might as well go. Maybe he could even give Xiao He and Wang Li a little hand and help them to grow closer more quickly.

Xiao Yun immediately said, “Sure, when?”

“Monday. I’ll pick you up after school and then we’ll go over to Aunt Wang Li,” said Xiao He after a moment’s thought.

Xiao Yun nodded understandingly and said, “Oh, I see. Actually, I don’t really mind either way. You guys can pick me up or just go ahead on a date.”

Xiao He blushed at Xiao Yun’s cheeky smile, so he hurriedly picked up a piece of food and placed it in his bowl. “Eat your food.”

“Okay, okay.” Xiao Yun agreed immediately.

After the meal, Xiao He let Xiao Yun accompany his little friend to play whileXiao He washed the dishes and rested for a while before going back to work.

Days passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was already Monday.

During break time, the four kids met up at the same place as before. Zhang Lexuan remembered to bring the snacks that he had brought back from the weekend to Chubs and Lin Xi.

Chubs took his share, opened one of them, and stuffed the snacks into his mouth. With a mouth full of food, Chubs said, “Little, you’re too awesome.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Xuan.” Lin Xi was also very happy to receive her snacks and she didn’t forget to thank Zhang Lexuan.

“I’m afraid that Big Brother Xiao Yun has long forgotten about the matter of buying me candy on Friday,” said Lin Xi angrily.

Xiao Yun had known that this little girl would remember and be unhappy if he forgot. But fortunately, he was prepared. He had two yuan left after buying the lottery ticket last time, so he took out one yuan to buy ten pieces of candy.

After hearing Lin Xi’s complaints, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket and waved it in front of Lin Xi. “Oh? Have I completely forgotten about buying candy for Xi Xi? How come I don’t know about it?

“Xi Xi, how about you guess what’s in my hand, then?” Xiao Yun continued to tease Lin Xi.

Lin Xi grabbed Xiao Yun’s sleeve and exclaimed, “Is it candy? Did Big Brother Xiao Yun buy candy for Xi Xi?”

“Hey, which little heartless person said that I forgot about you just now? Big Brother Xiao Yun is very sad,” said Xiao Yun as he made a very sad expression.

“Oh, Big Brother Xiao Yun, Xi Xi was wrong. She misunderstood Big Brother Xiao Yun.” Lin Xi continued to act apologetically beside Xiao Yun.

“Then how does Xi Xi want to compensate Big Brother Xiao Yun?” Xiao Yun continued to fool around with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll give Big Brother Xiao Yun one of the pieces of candy.”

“Big Brother Xiao Yun doesn’t want candy.” Xiao Yun closed his eyes and shook his head.

“Then what does Big Brother Xiao Yun want?”

Xiao Yun didn’t say anything and simply pointed his finger at his face.

Lin Xi instantly understood. Without hesitation, she pouted her small mouth at Xiao Yun’s face.

Zhang Lexuan and Chubs were stunned.

“This is not the Brother Xiao that I know. What happened to him? Who are you?” Chubs exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yun gave a side glance to Chubs before closing his eyes again in anticipation. There was nothing he could do to hide the growing smile on his face.
