Papa An’s dishes were spread out on the dinner table and he greeted Qi Yanxi warmly .
“Make yourself at home . It’s been a while since we last met . You look taller . Boys grow so fast . ” Papa An smiled amiably, which made Qi Yanxi a little uneasy .
Growing up, his father had been exceptionally strict with him . His parents divorced when he was a little older and they each had a new family now . It was safe to say that Qi Yanxi knew very little about familial love .
That was also why he was so violent all the time .
Looking at his bowl, which was filled to the brim with the food Papa An had picked for him, he lowered his voice and mumbled, “Thank you…”
“Enough talking! I’m having that if you don’t eat it!” An Xiaxia bitterly eyed the meat in his bowl .
Sheng Yize gave her little head a knock and darted her a warning look, at which An Xiaxia behaved herself right away .
An Yibei immediately picked up on the unusual interaction between the two and darted a piercing look at his sister . “Xiaxia, you’re not in love, are you?”

“No… I’m not!” An Xiaxia said weakly .
“Oh, so have you quarreled with your boyfriend lately?” An Yibei baited .
The naive Xiaxia took it right away and frowned . “I did… He was terrible to me and told me off this afternoon…”
Pfft —
Xiaxia immediately covered her mouth in regret!
Had she just admitted it herself?!
An Yibei gave her a vicious “I knew it” look .
He Jiayu and Chi Yuanfeng exchanged a look, both surprised .

Papa An was much calmer and even smiled when he said, “The boy Xiaxia likes must be a really nice person . ”
An Xiaxia shyly covered her cheeks with her palms and looked involuntarily at Sheng Yize .
It just so happened that Sheng Yize and Qi Yanxi were sitting next to each other, which misled An Yibei a little .
“Oh? Is it the one on the left or on the right?” An Yibei’s chopsticks grated together as he asked in an intimidating voice .
Seeing that her big brother was about to reach for a knife, An Xiaxia gave in right away and sold her boyfriend out . She guiltily pointed her little finger at Sheng Yize .
Sheng Yize cleared his throat and didn’t cringe . He darted her a look in resignation and said mildly, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have scolded you . ”
Crack —
The ebony chopsticks in An Yibei’s hands snapped in two and he smacked them on the table .

“You brat! How dare you date my little sister!” He ferociously rolled up his sleeves, which scared An Xiaxia out of her wits .
“Yibei . ” Papa An stopped his son and gave a little cough . “Have you two finished? Go back to your rooms if you want to, but don’t stay up too late . I don’t mind that you start dating now, but you have to know your boundaries and it mustn’t affect your studies . ”
An Xiaxia nodded repeatedly, while Sheng Yize was a little embarrassed but touched at the same time .
Her father was indeed a gentle and kind middle-aged man .
The two of them went back to their rooms one after another, leaving An Yibei and Qi Yanxi behind at the table with very dark faces .
One was because his baby sister had just gotten stolen away, while the other was because he had lost to Sheng Yize once again!
“That brat…”
“Bastard! Worthless scumbag!”
The two exchanged a look and somehow began to appreciate each other for a moment there .
An Xiaxia dove onto her little bed and rolled around with her duvet in her arms and flushed cheeks .
She wasn’t resisting it like she had imagined she would, nor was it anything scary . So, this was what… falling in love felt like…
The two of them seemed to have their own little secrets now, which was sweet and beautiful .
The fantasy was shattered a moment later by an incoming message from Sheng Yize —
“Don’t forget to memorize your poems . I’ll do a random check tomorrow . ”
An Xiaxia fell into a heap on her bed .
Why did she have such a strict boyfriend?
