Meeting you in autumn

Soon, all the dishes were neatly arranged on the table. Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and chatting happily.

"Aunt Su, my ranking has improved a lot this time!" Shen Jiayi said excitedly, her face beaming with pride as she recalled the results announced today.

However, before she could finish speaking, Chen Fang's smug voice rang out impatiently: "Tch, I'm much better than you, I got into the top ten in the class!"

"Chen Fang!!" Upon hearing this, Shen Jia's eyebrows shot up in anger, her beautiful eyes widened, and she shouted angrily.

Seeing this, Aunt Su quickly stepped in with a smile to smooth things over: "Oh dear, both of you children are excellent, you're both wonderful!"

Then she looked at Chen Fang and said, pretending to be serious, "Fang, you can't keep bullying Jiajia!"

Seeing that Aunt Su was clearly on her side, Shen Jia instantly became like a proud peacock, raising her chin and saying coquettishly to Chen Fang, "Hmph, did you hear that? Stop bullying me!"

Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she turned her gaze to Guan Qing, who was sitting to the side smiling, and said, "Our Xiaoyu is the most amazing one. Her grades are much better than both of ours! And Qingqing too."

Guan Yu, who was standing to the side, remained unmoved by what she said, but Guan Qing's ears turned red uncontrollably. She glanced cautiously at Chen Feng, then pretended to be nonchalant and continued eating.

Chen Fang was about to say something more when Jing Yi kicked him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Chen Fang, deflated, swallowed his words and immediately buried his head in his food. Aunt Su, seeing this, was somewhat surprised and joked, "Haha, this child still listens to Xiao Yi quite well!"

“That’s right, Chen Fang doesn’t listen to anyone but Jing Yi,” Shen Jia chimed in.

Chen Fang raised his head and glared fiercely at Shen Jia, then looked at Jing Yi, opened his mouth but no sound came out.

"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly, the food's getting cold," Aunt Su stepped in to smooth things over.

The table fell silent for a moment as everyone lowered their heads and ate their rice.

Suddenly, Guan Qing's phone beeped with a message notification. She picked it up and saw a friend request with the name "Chen Feng" in the contact name.

Guan Qing blushed instantly. She secretly glanced at Chen Feng and saw that he was eating seriously, so she quickly accepted his friend request.

Just then, with a "whoosh," Jing Yi stood up and said to Aunt Su, "Aunt Su, I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, go ahead," Su Shu said, and Jing Yi turned and walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing this, Guan Yu also stood up, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Aunt Su, I'll go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming frowned instantly and said unhappily, "Why are you following someone to the restroom?"

"Mind your own business," she said, and without waiting for anyone else's reaction, she walked towards the bathroom.

Aunt Su smiled helplessly. She knew what kind of relationship they had, which was why she indulged her. Besides, she trusted Jing Yi.

Just as she reached the corner of the bathroom, she was pulled aside by one hand and pinned against the wall, while the other hand gripped her waist tightly.

Seeing his actions, Guan Yu's eyes widened. Realizing they were at home, she panicked and warned him, "Don't talk nonsense, we're at home."

Jing Yi buried his head in her neck and said in a low voice, "I won't do anything inappropriate, I just want to hug you."

Hearing his words, she felt relieved and then raised her hand to carefully touch her head.

Just then, footsteps approached from afar, but neither of them noticed.

"Brother Yi, Aunt Su asked me to come over..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened, and she stared intently at the two of them.

Noticing Chen Fang's awkwardness, Guan Yu pushed him away. Jing Yi, displeased, glared at Chen Fang with a look that seemed to want to kill him.

Realizing what was happening, Chen Fang immediately turned and ran, hurriedly returning to his seat. His face was filled with terror as he thought to himself, "It's over, it's over, I won't see Dayang tomorrow."

Feng Ming looked at Chen Fang, who had just left and was running back in a daze, and teased, "Chen Fang, did you see a ghost? You look completely out of it."

Chen Fangxin slumped in the chair, exhausted. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Remember to burn plenty of paper money for me during the Qingming Festival."

"What are you talking about, child? Where's Xiao Yi?" Aunt Su scolded him as she watched him spout nonsense.

Chen Fang was about to say something when he caught sight of Guan Yu and the others approaching, and immediately sat up properly.

As Jing Yi passed by him, he kicked him hard, and Chen Fang cried out in pain.

"Xiao Fang, what's wrong?" Aunt Su asked, thinking something had happened to him when she heard his voice.

"No...it's nothing, Aunt Su," Chen Fang replied, enduring the pain.

Chen Feng and Feng Ming, who witnessed everything, were speechless.

...............

Before they knew it, the night had deepened, and time had quietly slipped away until late. The people inside slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Xiaoyu, go see Xiaoyi downstairs." Aunt Su said gently to Guan Yu with a kind, slightly teasing smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes instantly, their gazes all fixed on Aunt Su, their mouths agape as they exclaimed in unison, "Xiao Yi?"

Aunt Su then realized she had let something slip and quickly waved her hand to explain, "Oh dear, no, I meant Xiao Yi and the others together..."

However, everyone knew perfectly well what was going on. After exchanging glances, they let out a meaningful "Oh~~". Although no one said it outright, the unspoken understanding filled the whole scene with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Jing Yi was overjoyed, and a happy smile couldn't be hidden on his face; while Guan Yu, standing to the side, blushed with embarrassment.

Afterwards, Guan Yu and Feng Ming accompanied the others to the apartment building. "See you tomorrow, Yi!" Guan Yu looked up at Jing Yi, her eyes sparkling with sweet light, and said in a soft, sweet voice as she smiled.
