The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"I'm not hungry." Xie Yumin felt a little restrained, unsure whether her promise to Xie Beiling was a good thing or a bad thing.

Xie Beiling turned and glanced at her. "You didn't eat dinner yesterday, and you didn't eat breakfast either. Do you not want to eat lunch either?"

"I..." Xie Yumin wanted to refute, but then she felt that what she said made a lot of sense. Not only was she not hungry, she also had no appetite at all.

“You must eat every meal here.” Xie Beiling pulled Xie Yumin’s sleeve and led her downstairs.

As Xie Yumin followed behind, she looked at Xie Beiling's broad shoulders, and her memories were pulled back to three years ago.

When the Xie family learned of Xie Beiling's feelings for her, they were furious. They held a prejudiced view, believing her behavior was that of an ungrateful wretch. When Xie Beiling found out, he did the same thing he did now, pulling her hand and leaving the Xie residence.

Downstairs, Xie Beiling released Xie Yumin's hand and turned to find her eyes somewhat dreamy and gentle, a stark contrast to her earlier indifference and desire to leave.

Looks like he made the right bet!

Xie Beiling reached out and gently stroked Xie Yumin's hair. "Is there anything you particularly want to eat for breakfast?"

The moment her fingertips touched it, Xie Yumin felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her pupils widened in surprise as she stared back at Xie Beiling in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Xie Beiling pretended to be unaware, leaning forward and deliberately pressing his body against Xie Yumin.

Their bodies were only a circle apart, and Xie Yumin felt Xie Beiling's breath spraying on her face. It was itchy, and aggressive.

While she was still dazed, Xie Beiling reached out and touched her smooth, fair forehead again. "Are you feeling unwell? You don't seem to be in good shape."

"It's nothing." Xie Yumin took a step back, widening the distance between them.

The aggressive aura vanished, and the blush on her face was extinguished by the cold air.

Xie Beiling knew he couldn't push her too hard, or it would backfire and make her defenses even stronger.

He withdrew his hand from mid-air. "I'm going to cook."

"Okay." Xie Yumin nodded.

Watching him enter the kitchen from the corner of her eye, Xie Yumin then took a look at the layout of the living room.

She felt a sense of familiarity as soon as she arrived here last night. After looking around carefully, she realized that the layout was exactly the same as the Lego house she bought when she lived with the Xie family.

"Why are you so obsessed with these kids' toys lately?"

"This is not a game for little kids."

"Alright, alright, this isn't suitable for little kids, but it's perfect for you to play when you're having some fun."

"It's not just for fun, it's a goal. If I ever have a house, I'll decorate it according to this layout."

"it is good."

Fragments of memory surfaced in her mind, and Xie Yumin finally understood why Xie Beiling had only responded with a single word, "okay."

He really made her dream come true.

Looking back at the kitchen, Xie Beiling sensed someone watching him and immediately smiled.

……

"Want to go to the restroom together?"

As soon as the bell rang, Tian Tian came to Meng Meng's desk.

In the past, Mengmeng always went to the restroom with Tangtang. Tangtang doesn't like Tiantian and has made it clear that she doesn't want to be friends with her.

She looked up at where Tangtang was. Tangtang had already stood up and seemed to want to come and find her, but because of Tiantang, she stopped and stayed where she was.

Mengmeng didn't want any misunderstandings between them. After all, a good friend's good friend is still a friend, and the three of them could do many things together.

"Sister Sweetie, let's go." Mengmeng walked out from in front of her desk.

As she passed by Tangtang, Mengmeng spoke gently, "Tangtang, Mengmeng will stay with you for a while."

"It's okay, I don't want to go out." After saying that, Tangtang immediately sat back down in her chair.

Sweetie looked at Sugar with a smug look in her eyes.

As Mengmeng walked out of the classroom, she turned back and stopped to wait for Tiantian.

"Sister Sweetie."

"Ah."

Sweetie stood next to Mengmeng, but had no interest in the stranger.

"Tangtang is Mengmeng's best friend at school."

"and then?"

"Sister Sweetie, could you take the initiative to be friends with Tangtang?"

After Mengmeng finished speaking, she looked at Tiantian nervously, waiting for her response.

She firmly believed that as long as Sweetie interacted with Sugar in a friendly manner, Sugar would reciprocate in kind.

Sweetie stopped and silently looked at Mengmeng.

"Sister Sweetie, Tangtang is a great girl. She's very cute and funny. Once you become friends with her, you'll understand what Mengmeng is saying." Mengmeng praised Tangtang's character.

"Since she's so nice, why doesn't she take the initiative to become my friend?" Sweetie asked arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng's relaxed eyebrows instantly furrowed.

Tangtang developed a fear of her. Without feeling her friendliness, how could she take the initiative to show her the behavior of making friends?

Deep down, Mengmeng sensed that Tian Tian didn't want to be friends with Tang Tang, so she gave up on her wish.

For the rest of the way, neither of them spoke again. After going to the restroom, they returned to the classroom in silence.

They didn't exchange a single word until school was over. Their relationship seemed to have returned to how it was when Sweetie first returned to the Gu family.

"Mengmeng, do you want to come out with me?" Tangtang stood next to Mengmeng with her little backpack on, looking ready to leave at any moment.

"Tangtang, Mengmeng can't go with you. I promised Sister Tiantian that I would go home with her after school today." After Mengmeng finished speaking, she looked at Tiantian, who was already waiting for her in her seat.

Feeling the gaze fixed on her, Tangtang guessed without turning around that the gaze belonged to Tiantian.

"Mengmeng, I'm leaving now."

"it is good."

No sooner had she responded than Tangtang had already left the classroom.

hey~

With a deep sigh, Mengmeng wearily picked up her schoolbag and walked towards Tiantian.

"Let's sleep together again tonight!" Sweetie said warmly, taking Mengmeng's arm in hers.

Mengmeng looked down at the intimate touch and hesitated for a few seconds.

Sweetie seems a little different than she was this afternoon.

"You don't want to?" Sweetie asked, her tone tinged with disappointment when she received no response.

“Mengmeng is willing,” Mengmeng quickly replied.

Sweetie was pleased with the response and became affectionate again, saying, "Then I'll sleep in your room."

"But there's a leopard and a little white dog in Mengmeng's room. Isn't Sister Tiantian afraid of them?" Mengmeng asked, troubled.

If she's coming to stay, she'll definitely have to make sure they leave the room.

Sweetie took a big step forward, then turned to face Mengmeng, "In your heart, are they more important than me?"

“In Mengmeng’s heart, you are all important. You are all the people closest to Mengmeng.”
