87 Like Old Friends at First Sight
How could this girl be so jealous? Not only did she like Fang Yao, but she could not even let Fang Ming pick up a dish for her. Yuan Xiao did not understand her emotions, so she simply ignored her.
The meal was a little tiring. Yuan Xiao felt that the gaze of the girl beside her had lowered the temperature around them.
“Meng Zhu! If you’re eating, just eat. Why are you always staring at others?” Fang Yao noticed Yuan Xiao’s discomfort and spoke to Meng Zhu in an unfriendly tone.
“I think Xiao Xiao is pretty. Can’t I take a few more glances at her?” Meng Zhu glared at Fang Yao, thinking that he was still as nosy as before.
“But Xiao Xiao has become much prettier. I remember the first time I saw you in the hospital, I thought you were just a little girl who hadn’t grown up.”
Fang Ming remembered that the first time he met Yuan Xiao, he had misunderstood her relationship with Fang Yao. However, the two of them had finally made progress.
When Meng Zhu heard Fang Ming’s words, she sized up Yuan Xiao again and felt that other than being a little more mature than herself, she did not look that stunning.
Yuan Xiao also remembered what happened at the hospital. Fang Yao should have had a good impression of her by then.
After eating at the Fang Family’s place, Yuan Xiao planned to leave. Meng Zhu had been following her, making Yuan Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.
Fang Ming took the initiative to send Yuan Xiao home. Unexpectedly, Fang Yao and Meng Zhu also got into Fang Ming’s car.
“What are you doing here?” Fang Yao sat in the front passenger seat and looked at Meng Zhu, who was sitting in the back with Yuan Xiao, with dissatisfaction.
“If you can come along, why can’t I?” Meng Zhu rolled her eyes at Fang Yao and deliberately grabbed Yuan Xiao’s arm. She said coquettishly, “Xiao Xiao and I hit it off. We’re like old friends at first sight.”
Fang Yao looked at Meng Zhu through the rear-view mirror and snorted coldly. Anyway, he could still ask Yuan Xiao out tomorrow. When the time came, he would be able to shake off the annoying Meng Zhu.
Yuan Xiao was being held by Meng Zhu and did not feel that she was close to her at all. She probably got into the car with them because Fang Yao insisted on following her.
Although Yuan Xiao liked cute girls very much, the cute-looking girl beside her now treated her as a love rival.
However, if Meng Zhu liked Fang Yao, it would not be a problem for her to treat herself as a love rival. However, Yuan Xiao could tell that Fang Yao did not have any other intentions towards Meng Zhu. Perhaps it was because they were too familiar with each other, Fang Yao was very good at rebuking Meng Zhu. This little girl did not show weakness either. Yuan Xiao felt that even without her, Meng Zhu and Fang Yao would not be able to get together.
The car stopped in front of Yuan Xiao’s house. After getting out of the car, Fang Ming said to Yuan Xiao enthusiastically, “Xiao Xiao, if you want to come to our house to play in the future, just call me. I can pick you up.”
Yuan Xiao nodded and bid farewell to everyone. However, Yuan Xiao realized that although Meng Zhu had said goodbye to her, she was still looking at him resentfully.
Yuan Xiao thought that this girl was quite fun. If not for Fang Yao, she would have become friends with her.
It was not until Yuan Xiao went upstairs that Fang Ming started the car again.
“Brother Fang Ming, how old is this Xiao Xiao?” Meng Zhu’s expression softened when she saw that Yuan Xiao had finally left.
“Xiao Xiao should be in the same year as you, a year younger than Fang Yao.” Fang Ming remembered seeing Yuan Xiao’s age at the hospital. He had a good memory.
“Oh, that’s quite young.” Meng Zhu did not know if she should be happy or sad. If Fang Ming could accept Yuan Xiao, did that mean that he could also accept her, who was the same age as Yuan Xiao?
“But Xiao Xiao is very special.” Fang Ming’s words successfully attracted Fang Yao and Meng Zhu’s attention.
“Just now, Shen Yu told me that Yuan Xiao’s understanding of some things is deeper than some adults. That’s why he wants to bring Xiao Xiao to University A to take a look and do a test. If there’s a chance to make an exception and enter, Xiao Xiao’s third year will be easier than many people.”
Fang Yao understood his brother’s painstaking efforts, but he still hoped to spend his third year of high school with Yuan Xiao.
“Yuan Xiao wants to go to University A?” Meng Zhu was a little surprised. The girl just now did not look like a nerd.
“That’s right. That’s why I asked a friend to help.” Fang Ming glanced at Meng Zhu through the rearview mirror and realized that she had her head lowered awkwardly and looked a little unhappy.
“I didn’t expect Brother Fang Ming to be so enthusiastic. You’re even willing to help with such small matters.” Meng Zhu’s tone was a little dissatisfied. In her impression, Fang Ming was introverted and even a little antisocial. Not to mention helping others, Fang Ming usually did not even like simple friendships.
