The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Amidst the attention of everyone, "Xu Yiran" walked gracefully, her figure slender, like an angel descending from heaven, slowly approaching Xu Nian and stopping steadily.

Her large, dark, bright eyes gazed at the man before her with a smile, her pupils seemingly filled with countless stars, gentle yet lively.

Then, she took out a cup of milk tea with ice cubes from the bag in her hand, gently poked the straw, took a small sip, and then held it out to Xu Nian: "Here, for you."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Nian naturally took the cup of milk tea that she had drunk from, tilted her head back and drank the tea in the cup clean, leaving only a few lonely ice cubes lying at the bottom of the cup. Her movements were so practiced that it seemed as if she had repeated them countless times before.

After finishing his drink, he let out a satisfied burp and then held out his hands, asking, "Is there more? This cup isn't enough."

This scene completely stunned everyone around, and the entire area under the tree fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Xun opened his mouth wide in surprise, his jaw almost dropping, as if an egg could fit inside.

His confidence crumbled instantly, replaced by shock and bewilderment.

The school beauty, Xu Yiran, wasn't there to see him or anyone else; she was actually there to see Uncle Xu.

How could that be? Is he not handsome enough, or not charming enough?

Xiao Chen's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing.

Uncle Xu took the milk tea that Xu Yiran had already drunk from without hesitation for even a second!

Men and women shouldn't touch each other, how can you do that?

Luo Chen's mind went blank, he completely lost the ability to think, and he froze on the spot.

In his mind, this girl was either Xu Nian's daughter or a younger relative of his.

After all, Uncle Xu was already over thirty, while Xu Yiran looked like a young girl who had just come of age, just like them.

He had only ever seen such intimate gestures between elders and juniors in certain adult films from Japan.

Xu Yiran's next sentence completely stunned everyone, leaving them speechless and as if struck by lightning.

She pouted her pink lips, puffed out her cheeks slightly, stomped her little foot in slight dissatisfaction, and said in a coquettish tone, "Honey, you're too greedy! I've only had one sip, and you've drunk it all."

"husband?????????????"

The three large characters exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. Jiang Xun, Xiao Chen, Luo Chen, and Su Zhe, who had just returned, looked at each other, stunned and speechless for a long time.

Only Xu Nian remained unusually calm and composed. In fact, when he first heard the name "Xu Yiran," he felt it was unfamiliar, but the moment he saw the girl in person, he recognized her at a glance—wasn't this his Xu Xi?

The Xu Xi in front of me had applied a thin layer of light makeup, carefully drawn her eyebrows, and wore natural-looking colored contact lenses, which was slightly different from her usual bare-faced appearance.

But her delicate and lovely temperament remained unchanged.

Adding to the unfamiliar name, Xu Nian instantly guessed her thoughts: this girl, like herself, wanted to conceal her identity and avoid attracting too much attention at school.

"It's not my fault," he said, shrugging with an innocent look. "This cup of milk tea is too small; it's really not enough."

Xu Xi hummed softly, took out another cup of milk tea from the bag, stuck a straw in it, handed it to the man, and whispered reproachfully, "You're practically a water buffalo."

Xu Nian chuckled, took the milk tea, and then took Xu Xi's hand, pulling her to sit down beside her. Turning to the stunned crowd, she introduced, "I forgot to introduce you, this is my fiancée, Xu... Xu Yiran."

Xu Xi obediently sat cross-legged beside him, leaning against his arm, her gaze slowly sweeping over the other girls in the class formation, as if declaring her ownership to everyone.

Upon hearing this, a collective sigh of heartbreak rippled through the crowd, and everyone froze on the spot.

"Oh my god, I've been dumped!"

"Xu Yiran actually has a fiancé, and he's a man in his thirties! Age-gap relationships are just too much to handle, sob sob..."

......

Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, Jiang Xun reacted the fastest among them. He immediately suppressed his surprise, put on a smile, and respectfully greeted Xu Xi, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Xiao Chen was stunned for several seconds before she could barely process this absurd fact. She quickly corrected herself, her voice still a little unsteady: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Luo Chen remained frozen in place, his mind racing, unable to process what was happening before him.

For a male otaku like him, Xu Xi, who looks just like the girl next door in anime, is as irresistible as a white moonlight.

Now someone is telling him that his beloved has already found someone else, a man more than ten years his senior.

It's like having a well-behaved, sensible, gentle, and beautiful daughter, but one day a blond guy comes up to you, whispers in your ear, and says in a sly tone, "Your daughter is amazing."

It wasn't until Jiang Xun patted him hard on the back and whispered, "Quickly call her sister-in-law," that Luo Chen gradually snapped out of his daze, accepted reality, and stammered, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Strictly speaking, this title is not appropriate.

After all, they always called Xu Nian "Uncle Xu," and logically speaking, an uncle's wife should be called "Auntie."

But when faced with this charming and lovely girl who looked to be around their age, they simply couldn't bring themselves to call her that old-fashioned title.

Upon hearing this address, Xu Xi smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling into crescents, clearly delighted.

She took the remaining milk tea from the tea bag and handed it to Jiang Xun, Xiao Chen, Luo Chen, and Su Zhe one by one: "Thank you for taking care of my husband these past few days. He's a bit silly and a bit slow sometimes, so please bear with him."

"No problem, don't worry, sister-in-law," Jiang Xun and the others replied in unison.

Seeing that the rest time was long enough, Long Teng checked his watch, stood up from the bench in the distance, cleared his throat, and prepared to walk towards the formation, blow the assembly whistle, and continue leading the students in training.

But when his gaze swept across the crowd and he saw Xu Xi sitting next to Xu Nian, chatting and laughing with her classmates, he froze, startled, and quickly turned his back, retreating hastily without daring to breathe.

Xu Xi, with her sharp eyes, instantly spotted Long Teng fleeing in panic. Just as she was about to raise her hand to call out to him, Xu Nian grabbed her wrist.

Xu Nian leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "Don't call him. This guy is playing the role of an iron-fisted instructor right now and doesn't want us to recognize him, afraid of ruining his persona."

Upon hearing this reason, Xu Xi was both amused and exasperated, muttering under her breath, "Goodness, I was wondering why there were so many familiar faces in the instructor team. Turns out, Long Teng brought his cronies here for team building."

"Of course," Xu Nian sighed helplessly. "This guy picked a fight with me this morning, trying to establish his authority over me."

Did he bully you?

"Hmm...I guess so."

Xu Xi watched Long Teng's flustered figure hiding in the distance, not daring to approach. Her beautiful eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. She already had an idea in mind.
