Chapter 160 Sister vs. Uncle
Tang Xu turned around in surprise and saw Ji Shiqing sitting upright on the sofa, giving her a sweet smile.

At that moment, Tang Xu's feelings were somewhat complicated.

“You…” She looked at Ji Shiqing, then turned to look in the direction of Song Luobai’s room, “I thought you two had finished talking.”

“We’ve finished talking,” Ji Shiqing said. “But he might need some time to process it, so he went back to his room. I’m fine sitting here by myself for a while, but I’m a little hungry now.”

Tang Xu quietly met his gaze for a moment.

The boy had clear, bright eyes and a clean-cut appearance. When he smiled, even though he pretended to be well-behaved, there was still a hint of cunning in his eyes.

It is said that a nephew is like his uncle, but in Tang Xu's opinion, Ji Shiqing is nothing like the two uncles she had met.

In that moment of distraction, Ji Shiqing was still waiting for her answer, "Sister?"

Tang Xu quickly came to her senses and looked at him, saying, "You're not going home this late; your family will probably be worried."

“I have no one at home, and I’ll be all alone when I go back,” Ji Shiqing said. “Sister, could you please let me stay for dinner?”

When he said that he had no one at home, a normal person would probably ask about his uncle, but Tang Xu didn't want to ask a single word.

The child has already said so much; it would seem rather unreasonable for her to refuse again.

So Tang Xu could only take out her phone and ask, "What do you want to eat?"

Ji Shiqing rattled off a long list of dishes.

Tang Xu slowly raised her eyes to look at him.

Ji Shiqing quickly put on a sweet smile again, "These are all my favorite foods, sister, you can just order two."

Tang Xu said no more.

Half an hour later, the takeout arrived, and Tang Xu knocked on the door to call Song Luobai out for dinner.

Song Luobai walked out of the room and saw Ji Shiqing sitting at the dining table. His face immediately darkened. "Why is he still here?"

Tang Xu placed three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. "Your classmate, you're asking me?"

The two talked in front of Ji Shiqing, but Ji Shiqing acted like an outsider, focusing only on looking forward to dinner.

This combination was really strange, but the three of them had their own thoughts and couldn't break off relations, so they could only sit at the same table and eat dinner in an awkward manner.

Tang Xu always eats whatever comes to mind, while Song Luobai always seems to have no appetite. Only Ji Shiqing praises every ordinary dish on the table.

"Sister, you have such a great eye for food! How come every dish is so delicious?" Ji Shiqing said while shoveling rice into her mouth. "Unlike my uncle, the food he always gets delivered is awful, practically inedible—"

Upon hearing this, it was almost inevitable that some memories of taste would surface in Tang Xu's mind.

It was because her wrist was injured repeatedly that Yan Shiyu confined her to Qiushuitai for those two days.

She didn't like being locked up, but at the time she only felt that he was doing it for her own good, so she gladly accepted it.

Back then, someone would bring her lunch every day at noon, and as far as I can remember, it was always her favorite dishes.

Now, recalling these events, Tang Xu felt unable to eat.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Ji Shiqing leaned closer to look at her. "You don't look well."

"It's nothing," Tang Xu said calmly. "Eat more if you like it."

Ji Shiqing smiled at her again and said, "Then you should eat more. You're too thin, sister. Do you usually not eat much?"

Finally, Song Luobai, as if she couldn't take it anymore, slammed down her chopsticks with a "bang," and said, "Have you finished pretending?"

Ji Shiqing turned to look at him, looking very sincere, "I mean it."

Seeing his expression, Song Luobai couldn't sit still any longer. She got up and went back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

Tang Xu didn't react at all, but Ji Shiqing didn't feel embarrassed at all. She whispered to Tang Xu, "What a bad-tempered child. It's only because he met you, sister, who has a good temper. If it were my uncle, he would have suffered a lot."

"Is that so?" Tang Xu only replied with two words.

Ji Shiqing then asked, "Sister, aren't you curious what my uncle would do?"

"I'm not curious," Tang Xu replied.

Ji Shiqing said, "Sister, you must be the legendary 'indifferent person,' seemingly not caring about anything." "Maybe. Apart from things related to myself, nothing else matters."

After saying that, Tang Xu put down her chopsticks and stood up. "I have a phone call to make. You can eat slowly."

Ji Shiqing didn't mind at all and continued to nod and smile.

Tang Xu didn't actually have any phone calls to make; she just didn't want to hear Ji Shiqing keep mentioning his uncle, so she returned to her room.

This situation is actually quite cruel for a teenager, but Tang Xu simply doesn't have the energy for kindness.

She never expected that when she stepped out of the room again, she would find Ji Shiqing standing alone by the kitchen sink washing dishes!
Tang Xu truly couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to try to take the work from him, but Ji Shiqing avoided her and said, "Sister, don't help me. I'm almost done. Don't worry, I'm very skilled."

Tang Xu watched his movements and realized he really didn't seem to be faking it, so she couldn't help but ask, "How come you can even do these things?"

"I'm basically the only one at home, so I have to be able to do a little bit of everything, otherwise I'll go hungry."

These words, spoken lightly, seem to contain a myriad of meaning for a sixteen-year-old boy.

Just as Tang Xu was about to blurt out the question in her heart, she paused at the right moment.

She really shouldn't be curious about the boy in front of her, much less try to understand him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Xu finally said, "It's getting late, you should go home soon."

The boy blinked, peeked over, and asked, "Sister, can I still come up here for meals in the future?"

Twenty minutes later, Ji Shiqing walked out of the gate of Yujing Bay. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Tang Xu's expression when he heard his last question.

Before he could even fully put on a smile, two people suddenly rushed out from behind and dragged him into a black car.

Gao Yan sat in the passenger seat and turned around. The young master had already calmed down and only glanced at him lazily.

"Why are you here when you don't answer your phone or reply to your messages?" Gao Yan immediately questioned.

Ji Shiqing shrugged and said, "I'm visiting my classmate's house. Is there a problem?"

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"Intentionally what?" Ji Shiqing asked innocently, "Brother Gao Yan, what could I intentionally do at my classmate's house?"

"You—" Gao Yan choked, unable to answer for a moment. After a pause, he could only say, "You'll see what your uncle does to you."

Ji Shiqing just chuckled.

As the car drove back to the villa, Ji Shiqing didn't forget to say goodbye to Gao Yan before getting out of the car and going home.

Unexpectedly, the moment the door was pushed open, Yan Shiyu was sitting quietly on the sofa.

He never expected that Yan Shiyu would actually come here today, and for a moment he felt a little guilty. However, that guilt quickly disappeared.

He walked calmly to the seat opposite Yan Shiyu and sat down, calling out, "Third Uncle, you're off work so early today?"

Yan Shiyu only glanced at him.

Ji Shiqing immediately wilted, abandoning his arrogance, and said to Yan Shiyu, "Don't be angry, Third Uncle. I was just trying to improve our relationship with my classmates. I'll be classmates with Song Luobai for another two years, so I can't possibly treat them like enemies, can I? I want to study hard, and I want to be friendly with my classmates too—"

"Ji Shiqing." Yan Shiyu ignored every word he said. "If you run over there again, you'll go back to where you came from."

"No, Third Uncle, you can't do this, can you?" Ji Shiqing said. "Oh, back then, you wanted me to come back and I had to come back, but now you want me to leave and I have to leave. It's not like you're discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose, is it?"

Yan Shiyu stood up. "You're welcome to give it a try."

Yan Shiyu's tone was calm, but it was extremely intimidating.

Ji Shiqing had witnessed Yan Shiyu's methods firsthand, and therefore knew what Yan Shiyu's style was when he really got ruthless.

He fell silent for a moment and said nothing more.

Yan Shiyu did not linger any longer and left directly.

Ji Shiqing nestled on the sofa, listening to the sounds of the car leaving outside, until silence returned to both the house and the outside world.

Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on his lips. He jumped up from the sofa and slowly walked upstairs.

Two days later, in the evening, Ji Shiqing came to Yujing Bay again and rang Tang Xu's doorbell.
