I relied on my heart to play badly in front of my husband, an officer.

The two of them took Xiaojun to the state-owned restaurant in the city, and Xiaojun kept chattering all the way.

Only then did Hao Jiajia know the relationship between Lin Yu and Xiaojun's family.

"So, you and Xiaojun are cousins."

"Yes! My aunt is Xiaojun's mother. Every year I stay at my aunt's house for a few days. I stayed there last night. It just so happens that her family and yours are neighbors."

After Lin Yu brought Xiaojun to the front desk to order some delicious food, he sat on the chair opposite Hao Jiajia, facing her.

This kind of sitting position made Hao Jiajia feel a little uncomfortable.

In contrast, Lin Yu, who saw that she was uncomfortable, felt much more at ease. At this moment, he looked at Hao Jiajia's ears which were blushing due to shyness, and his heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest and was out of his control.

Hao Jiajia, feeling a little embarrassed by his somewhat explicit gaze, even stuttered.

"You, you, why are you looking at me like that? I feel so, so embarrassed.

Can you please stop looking at me?"

"No, I want to look at you." Lin Yu refused without thinking.

"But you looking at me like that makes me uncomfortable."

"You can just pretend I don't exist."

"Lin Yu, do you think I'm blind? You're such a grown-up and here, how can I pretend you don't exist?" Hao Jiajia said, rolling her eyes at him.

"Hehehe, brother, you'd better take that look away. If you keep looking at me like that, my sister Jia Jia might be too shy to eat." 12-year-old Xiaojun laughed as he watched the two of them looking awkward.

After hearing what Xiaojun said, Lin Yu restrained his gaze.

"You little brat, what do you know? Eat more and talk less."

"Why don't I understand, brother? If you ask me, you probably don't understand as much as I do.

After all, I see how my dad and mom get along with each other every day."

"Okay, let's eat!" Just as Xiaojun was about to talk at length about his father and mother, Lin Yu hurriedly interrupted him.

The food was served quickly, emitting an enticing aroma.

Lin Yu first picked up some dishes for Xiaojun, and then carefully picked up some for Hao Jiajia, and kept watching Hao Jiajia's reaction nervously.

After Hao Jiajia thanked him softly and lowered her head to eat, Lin Yu was happy.

Since Hao Jiajia doesn't mind and can accept such an intimate action as me picking up food for him, does that mean that she is willing to be a partner with me?

This realization made Lin Yu smile widely.

Just as he was immersed in happiness, suddenly, there was a noise at the entrance of the hotel.

Everyone looked over and saw a group of young people in fashionable clothes walking in.

The leader was a girl with curly hair, and her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yu.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Yu? How come you have time to eat here today? Your school is on vacation."

Lin Yu nodded politely, "With a friend."

The girl looked at Hao Jiajia and Xiaojun curiously, especially when she saw Hao Jiajia, a trace of scrutiny flashed in her eyes.

She deliberately said coquettishly: "Brother Lin Yu, you haven't fulfilled your promise to have dinner with me last time! Why don't you fulfill it for me today?"

Lin Yu frowned and glanced at Hao Jiajia, who had been sitting there without saying anything. He felt a little panicked. "When did I ever agree to have dinner with you? Don't talk nonsense."

The girl pretended to be aggrieved, "Brother Lin Yu, you are so forgetful. You told me this when I went to your house the day before yesterday!"

After seeing the girl, Hao Jiajia felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart. She put down her chopsticks and looked at them quietly.

Xiaojun looked at this and that with a confused look on his face.

Lin Yu retorted, "When did I say that? I seem to remember saying no at that time."

"Brother Lin Yu, you clearly promised me, are you still trying to cheat?"

Just when Lin Yu was about to open his mouth to refute, Hao Jiajia spoke first.

"So that's how it is. Then Lin Yu, you can accompany this girl for dinner today. Xiaojun and I will leave first." After saying that, he pulled Xiaojun up.

Lin Yu suddenly became anxious and quickly grabbed Hao Jiajia's hand, "Jiajia, you misunderstood, I didn't promise her anything at all."

Seeing this, the girl was furious. "Lin Yu, how could you do this to me? What's so good about this country bumpkin?"

Lin Yu's face darkened. "You are not allowed to say that about Jia Jia. Please apologize to her and leave us."

We had nothing before and we will have nothing in the future.

I have never had any other thoughts about you, please leave."

The girl was humiliated and was very angry. She didn't expect Lin Yu to be so determined. After looking at the people around her, she snorted coldly and turned away.

But Lin Yu didn't care about her. He was busy explaining to Hao Jiajia, "Jiajia, she is a lunatic, you ignore her.

I've told her I don't like her, but she keeps pestering me like this, and I'm really annoyed by her. You have to believe me on this."

Although Hao Jiajia was still a little angry, she miraculously calmed down when she saw Lin Yu's anxious look. "Alright, alright, let's eat. I'm not yours now, so I have no right to be angry."

"How can you be unqualified? Jiajia, you are the most qualified. Don't you know how I feel about you?"

"Oh, why are you saying that? I'm hungry and want to eat." Hao Jiajia felt embarrassed by Lin Yu's words.

Xiaojun clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, Sister Jiajia is so nice. Brother must treat Sister Jiajia well in the future."

Lin Yu agreed with a smile and sat down to eat again. This time he was in a happier mood and would steal glances at Hao Jiajia from time to time.

Hao Jiajia felt his gaze and her face turned slightly red. The meal continued in this warm and slightly shy atmosphere.
