Ye Xuan acted as if he hadn’t noticed that they ignored him. He was still very happy despite getting snubbed after showing good intentions.
Some of the students saw that Liu Duo hadn’t come alone to fetch Ran Er and said, “Xiao Ran, your brother-in-law also came to fetch you today.”
Liu Ran was packing his things when he heard it. He turned his head to look outside the window and saw Liu Duo and Ye Yang standing there, waiting for him. Ye Xuan was talking about something beside them.
He smiled at them, turned his head back, and packed his books and other things faster.
Since the students learned about the kidnapping incident, they no longer made fun of him because someone came to fetch him.
Moreover, laughing at others was simply a sign of jealousy!
Liu Ran packed his things, said goodbye to the students who hadn’t left, and went towards Liu Duo and Ye Yang.
“Sis, Brother Yang.” Liu Ran greeted them happily.
Liu Duo only started to smile when she heard his voice. “Ran Er, have you packed everything? Did you forget anything?”
“No, I’ve already packed the things I need to bring back.”
Ye Yang reached out his hand straight away and took his bag over. He put it into the wide cloak so that it wouldn’t get wet. It was better if he could walk empty-handed. “Let’s go.”
Liu Duo held Liu Ran’s hand and they both shared the same oil-paper umbrella. Ye Yang was wearing the cloak so there was no worry of him getting wet.
Liu Ran nodded but he turned his head to look at Ye Xuan and smiled at him politely. “Teacher, I will be going home with my sister and brother-in-law. Goodbye.”
They were at school so he didn’t call him Ye Xuan or Brother Xuan.
Liu Duo looked at the smile on Liu Ran’s face. Although she didn’t really like Ye Xuan, Liu Ran liked him a lot. It wasn’t just because he was Liu Ran’s teacher right now, it was also because he really took care of Liu Ran while not in class. He kept tutoring him without expecting anything in return.
His impression of him had greatly improved!
“Goodbye.” Ye Xuan nodded towards Liu Ran with a smile. However, his line of sight moved towards Liu Duo ever so slightly.
After that, Liu Duo and the two of them went back using the road they came on.
Ye Xuan looked at their backs and the smile on his face didn’t disappear. It was only when he couldn’t see them any more that he turned around and went back to the school.
“You guys be careful while on your way home. Don’t fall down,” Ye Xuan said to the students who hadn’t left.
“Okay. Teacher, thank you for your concern.”
After the rest of the students had also left, Ye Xuan said goodbye to the senior teacher, grabbed his own oil-paper umbrella, and headed home. He was not willing to wear a cloak since it was so goddamn ugly.
While they were on their way home, it was as if Liu Ran had an infinite number of things to talk about. He shared everything with Liu Duo…
When Ye Xuan arrived home, Grandma Ye immediately nagged at him, “Xuan Er, exactly what kind of wife do you want to marry? You don’t like any of the ones I told you about. Do you plan on being alone forever? Grandma wants to hold her grandchild.”
Ye Xuan closed the umbrella and put it aside. He glanced at his grandmother and laughed, “Grandma, I, of course, want to marry a woman I like! There’s no rush, just take it slowly. You want to hold a grandchild? Sister-in-law is almost about to give birth. Once that happens you will have a grandchild to hold.”
His sister-in-law, Ye Qin’s wife, was about eight months pregnant and was almost about to give birth.
He was in no hurry. How could he take a liking to those average village girls?
Grandma Ye heard it and felt helpless. He always treated this issue so non-urgently, making her very mad.
She was satisfied with Ye Xuan in all aspects. However, it was only this that she felt resentful about because he just didn’t show any improvement. He wouldn’t listen no matter what she said!
“Your sister-in-law still doesn’t know what she will give birth to!” Grandma Ye cast a glance towards Ye Qin’s room.
She always felt that Ye Qin’s wife would give birth to something that was going to waste a lot of money.
