Can you please stop hating

Lunch was more sumptuous than Yu Xi had imagined. There were only three of them, but they prepared five dishes, a soup, and a serving of fried chicken.

Yu Xi was a little curious. Wouldn’t the Xue siblings’ parents have dinner with them?

Since she came, she seemed not to have seen their parents, but since it was someone else's family affair, it was not convenient for her to ask.

After lunch, Xue Haoyan asked Xue Mengmeng to practice the piano, and Xue Mengmeng asked Yu Xi to join in.

There is a very spacious piano room on the second floor with a Steinway grand piano in the middle. The midday sun shines in through the glass, and the scene is like a dream.

Xue Mengmeng: "Teacher Yu, please sit down and I will play the piano for you."

Yu Xi smiled: "Okay."

She and Xue Haoyan sat down on a bench nearby and watched Xue Mengmeng walk to the piano and sit down with her back straight.

Although Xue Mengmeng is young, she plays the piano very well, and you can tell at first glance that she has been doing this since she was a child.

Yu Xi was quite envious of this kind of kid, who was excellent in every aspect and just sparkled when looking at him.

"She used to cry when she practiced the piano, but now she knows how to show off."

Xue Haoyan looked at Xue Mengmeng with gentle eyes and his tone was teasing yet full of pride.

Looking at him, Yu Xi suddenly thought of Yu Li. Yu Li also looked at her with doting eyes.

Yu Xi felt a little lonely unconsciously. This world was so unfair. Some people were loved by everyone, while others were lonely and helpless.

She never sought wealth and fame, she just wanted Yu Li to be alive, even if she could only see him from afar.

After the song ended, Yu Xi praised sincerely, "You played very well."

Xue Mengmeng smiled and said, "Then come to my house often and I will play it for you every day."

Xue Haoyan raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and the little girl stepped forward.

Yu Xi couldn't help laughing. The kindness of the children was pure. She replied, "Okay, I'll come again if I have the chance."

After practicing the piano for about an hour, Xue Mengmeng prepared to take a nap and asked Yu Xi to watch "Boonie Bears" with her before going to bed.

The two of them lay on the bed, Jin Yuanbao curled up beside the bed, and after watching two or three episodes, Xue Mengmeng fell asleep.

Seeing this, Yu Xi turned off the tablet and tiptoed back to her desk to prepare for class.

Mathematics for elementary school students is not difficult, and Yu Xi finished it in no time. The sun was really bright at noon today, and she gradually became sleepy and fell asleep on the table.

There was silence in the room for a long time. Then the door was pushed open.

Jin Yuanbao raised her head, and Xue Haoyan made a gesture to keep quiet, so she just wagged her tail and didn't bark.

Xue Haoyan walked to the desk, gently picked up Yu Xi, and put her on Xue Mengmeng's bed.

Yu Xi was very tired this week and hardly got any good rest, so she slept very deeply.

Xue Haoyan covered the two girls with quilts, sat by the bed, watched for a while, then turned and left.

Yu Xi woke up in a daze, and saw Xue Mengmeng staring at her with wide eyes, and she woke up instantly.

Xue Mengmeng smiled and said, "Teacher Yu, are you awake?"

"Woof!" Jin Yuanbao was lying on the edge of the bed, also smiling.

Yu Xi sat up immediately, feeling a little overwhelmed. She came to someone else's house to take classes, but she was sleeping so soundly. She quickly opened her phone to check the time.

It’s almost five o’clock!

Oh my god, is she a pig? She can sleep so well!

Yu Xi: "Mengmeng, I'm sorry, the teacher overslept, let's get up quickly and continue the class."

Xue Mengmeng: "It's okay, my brother said there's no rush for class, so you can sleep."

Yu Xi was almost embarrassed to death. What was going on?

As it was getting late, Yu Xi shortened the break time between classes and rushed to finish both classes before 6:30.

Seeing the two people coming down from upstairs, Xue Haoyan said, "Just right, dinner is ready, come and eat."

Yu Xi glanced out the window and saw that it was almost dark. She declined politely, "You guys eat, it's getting late and I have to go back to school."

Xue Haoyan: "It doesn't matter if you spend some time eating. I'll drive you home after dinner."

Yu Xi: "It will take you an hour and a half to go back and forth. Don't bother me. I can just take a taxi myself."

Xue Mengmeng suddenly interrupted: "Why don't you just stay at our house for one night, Mr. Yu? You have to come to class tomorrow anyway."

Xue Haoyan glared at her: "Don't mess around."

Xue Mengmeng curled her lips and stopped talking.

Xue Haoyan looked at Yu Xi and said, "Auntie cooked a lot of dishes. We can't finish them both. Besides, it's not convenient to take a taxi here. If you want to leave, I have to drive you a distance. If you must leave now, I will wait until I'm done and then come back to eat."

"..."

It seemed that Yu Xi could not refuse any of the reasons given, and finally she had no choice but to agree.

The cooking of Xue Haoyan's aunt is really delicious, but unfortunately Yu Xi has to control her food intake, so she only ate until she was 80% full and then stopped eating.

Xue Haoyan noticed that Yu Xi ate little at noon, and he didn't expect that she ate even less at night. He asked, "Is the food not to your liking? Why do you eat so little?"

Yu Xi: "No, I don't eat much."

"No wonder you're so thin," Xue Haoyan said, "You should eat more, otherwise it's not good for your health."

Yu Xi drooped her eyelids: "Yeah."

In fact, Yu Xi is not very obsessed with being thin. She thinks that as long as she is not sloppy, it doesn't matter whether she is fat or thin. However, she has to rely on her figure to make money, so controlling her diet is a last resort.

Xue Haoyan put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll take you to the intersection to get a taxi."

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

Xue Mengmeng: "I want to go too."

Xue Haoyan: "No, finish your meal."

"Ah," Xue Mengmeng frowned and pouted, "Brother is so annoying."

Xue Haoyan ignored her and said to Yu Xi, "Let's go."

Seeing Xue Mengmeng was angry, Yu Xi hesitated: "Is she okay like this?"

Xue Haoyan: "Don't worry about it, she hates me at least eight times a day."

Yu Xi: “…”

Oh, so that's fine.

Xue Haoyan sent Yu Xi to an area where it was easier to get a taxi. After parking the car on the side of the road, he said, "Take a taxi here, and get off when the taxi arrives."

"Yeah." Yu Xi opened the taxi app, entered the location, and waited for the driver to accept the order.

During the waiting time, no one spoke in the car and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Xue Haoyan looked at Yu Xi and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Yu Xi: "No, Mengmeng is very well behaved."

Xue Haoyan was silent for two seconds and said, "I see Mengmeng likes you very much. If possible, I hope you can play with her in your spare time. I can pay you according to the class time."

"Hmm?" Yu Xi didn't understand.

Xue Haoyan accepted: "My parents divorced when Mengmeng was one year old. My dad is very busy at work and is rarely at home. I don't live here during the week and only come back on weekends, so she is quite lonely."

Yu Xi was quite surprised. She thought Xue Mengmeng was quite outgoing and didn't expect this to happen. She agreed, "I'm happy to play with her. You don't have to charge me separately."

Xue Haoyan looked at Yu Xi with a smile and said, "Thank you."

Yu Xi felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she turned away and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, I have to thank you for providing me with such a good part-time job."

"..." Xue Haoyan looked at her for a while and suddenly asked, "Are you from Hua University?"

Yu Xi didn't quite follow Xue Haoyan's train of thought and was a little slow in saying "hmm".

Xue Haoyan: "Is the food in the cafeteria delicious?"

Yu Xi: "Not bad."

Xue Haoyan: "Then I'll go try it tomorrow."

Yu Xi: “?”
