Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Qing thought to himself, feeling frustrated. He decided to wash his hands in the bathroom before joining everyone at the dining table. The unexpected guest, Ye Chenxi, was already sitting there. Due to her presence, Chu Qing didn’t bother asking about Chu Xiao’s whereabouts. Judging by his parents’ expressions, it seemed she wouldn’t be returning home tonight.

Chu Qing felt a sense of unease engulfing him throughout the meal. The way his father glanced at him conveyed an unmistakable disappointment as if all his efforts had been in vain, akin to a stolen cabbage patch. It left Chu Qing feeling heartbroken and disheartened. His mother, though comparatively calmer, occasionally revealed traces of worry in her eyes, casting a gray shadow over Chu Qing’s already somber mood.

He knew that his mother must be thinking about the family again, about his fiancee whom she had never met before. Ye Chenxi was at the dining table, trying her best to please his parents and him.

Speaking of this, Chu Qing felt infuriated. Ye Chenxi’s attempts to please his father and mother were limited to mere words. But when it came to himself, she picked and placed pieces of food in his bowl.

It wasn’t as if Chu Qing didn’t have a pair of hands. Moreover, he questioned whether it was appropriate for Ye Chenxi to behave in such a manner in front of his parents. Above all, Chu Qing strongly opposed the abnormal notion that men should be inferior to women in this situation.

As a result, Chu Qing was extremely resistant to this behavior. When Ye Chenxi picked up the first piece of meat, he endured it and ate it without changing his expression. When Ye Chenxi removed the chopsticks from his bowl for the second time, Chu Qing said that there was an additional piece of meat in his bowl and returned it to Ye Chenxi to express his rejection.

However, Ye Chenxi did not stop there. This was the third time. This time, Chu Qing threw the food that Ye Chenxi had picked into the trash can. At that moment, other than Chu Qing, the expressions of everyone at the dining table changed.

Chu Qing, on the other hand, continued to eat by himself. He could not explain himself. Then, Ye Chenxi unrepentantly picked up two more pieces of meat for Chu Qing and threw them into the trash can without exception.

Chu Qing’s father couldn’t bear it any longer and had the urge to say something to Chu Qing. However, he refrained from speaking when his wife gave him a warning glance. Chu Qing felt quite embarrassed by the situation. He didn’t want to waste food and could only hope that Ye Chenxi wouldn’t repeat such actions again.

Chu Qing grew increasingly frustrated with this woman’s disobedience. He felt the need to teach her a lesson. Such thoughts filled his mind, causing him to become annoyed. Surprisingly, however, he also felt a hint of restlessness. It seemed that with Ye Chenxi’s presence, Chu Qing had found a potential outlet to vent his grievances, possibly stemming from his experiences with Tang Ziyan.

After enduring a challenging meal, Chu Qing sought solace in his room, using the excuse of studying. To his surprise, Ye Chenxi followed him, claiming to be there to tutor him. Chu Qing couldn’t help but scoff at the situation. The least she could do was not cause any further trouble for him.

With just a glance, Ye Chenxi could tell that studying was not something she was familiar with. It was evident that she lacked the knowledge of how to study effectively. Without a doubt, her academic performance would be at the bottom. Even if she made slight improvements, she would merely tie with others for the last place, not surpassing herself. The only reason she appeared slightly better was that when two people were tied for the last place, both could be considered second to last.

With Ye Chenxi around, Chu Qing naturally would not jump out of the window and climb down the stairs. He sat obediently on his small desk. He took out his revision materials and opened them to the page he had recently learned.

Ye Chenxi also leaned from behind Chu Qing, staring at the revision materials. There was only one chair in the room and Chu Qing was sitting, so Ye Chenxi could only stand and bend down to look.

When she arrived that day, her slightly curly long hair was neatly arranged, gracefully draping over her shoulders. It seemed that she had made a favorable impression on Chu Qing’s parents. However, at that moment, her long hair cascaded down and lightly brushed against Chu Qing’s neck, sending a tingling sensation through his body..
