As soon as the store manager finished speaking, Yu Rui immediately felt the meaningful gaze from the person across the table.

Yu Rui pretended not to see it, and smiled lightly at the store manager, "His name is Xie Li, and he is my classmate. He helped me today, so I invited him to come here for dinner to thank him."

"Oh, so that's the case." The store manager nodded, "Then you eat, I won't disturb you."

As soon as the store manager left, Xie Li weighed the chopsticks in his hand and smiled: "So the monitor and I are just ordinary classmates?"

Yu Rui glanced at him lightly, but said nothing.

Yu Li, who was sitting beside Yu Rui, looked at this and then at that, she jumped off the chair, ran to Xie Li, and whispered to him: "Brother Xie Li, don't be sad, my brother never took his classmates before. He must have regarded you as a friend when he went home."

"...Little pear."

Across a table, the volume of the whispers was no different from a public execution. Especially the look someone looked over made Yu Rui almost unable to maintain the indifference on his face.

Yu Li got a warning from her brother, stuck her tongue out, and ran back.

Xie Li laughed softly, "The squad leader has taken me as a friend?"

Yu Rui glanced at him lightly, "If you don't eat it again, your face will be messed up."

"… "

The corner of Xie Li's mouth twitched, but he didn't force Yu Rui to say anything, he picked up the chopsticks obediently.

The following dinner ended in silence. After eating, Yu Rui went to pay for the meal and said goodbye to the store manager. The three left the restaurant together.

On the way home, Yu Li, who was being held by Yu Rui, looked around, curious about everything.

Yu Rui looked hesitant.

Yu Li has followed him since childhood, spending most of the time at home, at school, or in some study rooms. Yu Rui rarely had time to take her out to play, and as the girl grew older, her needs for entertainment and leisure obviously increased. It's just that Yu Li was obedient and sensible, and would never ask Yu Rui in this regard.

Maybe I should bring Yuli...

"There are food festivals going on over at the Zhou Culture Square these few days. Do you want to go to Xiaoli?"

It was Xie Li's words that interrupted Yu Rui's thoughts. Yu Rui turned around and saw Xie Li squatting in front of Yu Li asking for the girl's opinion.

Yu Li's eyes were bright and full of desire, but she turned her head to look at Yu Rui for the first time, "Brother, can we go?"

Just as Yu Rui was about to speak, Xie Li cut off the conversation first. He squatted in front of Yu Li with one knee slightly bent, but it was Yu Rui who looked up.

The smile in those dark eyes fluctuated deeply and shallowly, "As a dinner invitation, monitor, give me some face?"

Under such two pairs of eyes, it was really difficult for Yu Rui to say a single "no".

He could only helplessly pat Yu Li's head.

"Let's go then."

The food festival was held at the Cultural Plaza in Q City, not a short distance from Yu Rui's house and the neighborhood where they were located. Xie Li stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and the three sat in the back row.

The back row was originally a place that could accommodate three people, but it was really hard for someone with a pair of long legs in the back row, which squeezed out a lot of space.

Yu Rui hugged Yu Li to his side and glanced at Xie Li with a frown, "You should be in the co-pilot at your height."

Xie Li closed the car door, half joking and doing things seriously, "Didn't I want to be closer to you?"

"…!"

Yu Rui looked at Yu Li subconsciously. The little girl was happily looking forward to her departure, unaware of the teasing in her words.

In fact, Yu Rui himself was guilty.

The driver glanced hesitantly at the two of them in the rearview mirror, "Where to?"

Yu Rui returned to his senses and concealed his discomfort, "Cultural Square."

The driver shifts gears to go.

The car had gone some distance, and the driver had glanced at them several times in the rearview mirror.

Xie Li didn't bother to care about anything other than Yu Rui, even if he noticed it. Yu Rui endured it for half a minute, and finally couldn't bear it any longer.

He looked away from the car window, "Master, we are not kidnapping and selling children, this is my biological sister. Xiaoli, say hello to uncle."

Yu Li is well-behaved: "Hello, uncle, the one on the left is my brother, and the one on the right is my brother's classmates. They are not bad people. My brother is going to accompany me to the food festival in the Cultural Plaza."

"Hey, that's it..." The driver didn't expect to be seen through his mind by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and smiled awkwardly for a long time, "It turns out that this is your sister, and I blame me for being careless. It's rare to see two people your age. A big boy leads a little girl out, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you are also kind." Yu Rui smiled helplessly.

"Are you going to the food festival? There are the most people over there on weekend nights. You have to take care of the little girl."

"it is good."

The taxi stopped at the north entrance of the Cultural Plaza. Xie Li paid for the car, opened the door and waited for Yu Li to jump out.

The traffic on the left was fast, Yu Rui hesitated, and got off on the right side with Xie Li holding the door.

When he leaned out, the man was lying on the door of the car, drooping his eyes lazily, looking at him with a half-smile.

Yu Rui pretended not to notice, and reached out to grab Yu Li who couldn't wait, "Xiao Li, don't run around, there are too many people here."

Behind him, Xie Li closed the car door and walked over, and naturally stretched out his left hand to the little girl, "In order to prevent you from missing your brother and blame me?"

Yu Li laughed and stretched out her hand to Xie Li.

Yu Rui's eyes fluctuated subtly.

He suddenly remembered that in the morning downstairs in their house not long ago, Xie Li rushed downstairs to take Yu Li to school with him.

At that time, he was very worried that this sick person was plotting against Xiaoli, and this person did not hesitate to pull out Kan Qian and lied that it was his girlfriend.

Now that he recalls it again, it is indeed a disease, but the object of his coveting is not Xiaoli at all, but... himself.

Yu Rui avoided this question in his head with a headache, and turned his attention to the venue of the food festival.

There are indeed many people at the food festival, and the entire cultural square is decorated with various food stalls from all over the world from the entrance to the exit.

Xie Li was in charge of shopping, and Yu Li was in charge of eating. Yu Rui followed the two of them through shops, all the way to witness Yu Li being coaxed by Xie Li to giggle happily. Three, four, five or six snacks that I didn't have time to eat.

A few more times like this, his status as a real brother will probably be lost.

Just as Yu Rui was thinking, he saw Xie Li and Yu Li come back from a new pavilion—

"elder brother!"

Yu Li held a hand high, holding two short strings in his hand. I don't know what food is on the skewer, fried into golden spheres.

Yu Li ran all the way to Yu Rui, smiling until her eyes could barely see, "Brother, try it!"

Yu Rui has always been insensitive to these over-fried or seasoned foods, and he is rarely willing to try snacks.

Yu Rui shook his head, "You eat it, my brother won't."

"Hey? It's delicious." Yu Li smiled bitterly, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly turned around.

Xie Li came back in the same direction as her, two steps behind her, Yu Li hurried over and hooked at Xie Li.

Xie Li leaned over, and the girl put her feet up and whispered in his ear.

There were so many people talking this time that Yu Rui couldn't really hear what they were saying from two meters away.

All he could see, Xie Li suddenly raised his eyes when he heard it, and glanced at him half-smile.

… Apparently the topic is about him.

Yu Rui was guessing in his heart when he saw Xie Li took a fried skewer from Yu Li and walked straight to him. Xie Li stopped when he was still more than ten centimeters away, and handed the fried skewer to Yu Rui.

"Taste one?"

Yu Rui frowned slightly and shook his head, "I don't eat this..."

"Little pear let me come."

"… "

The sense of crisis that is unique to the sister-in-law resurfaced—even though he knew that Xie Li had no other intentions for Yu Li, the threat to his brother's status also made Yu Rui's heart uneasy.

He frowned two points deeper, and his tone became a little colder.

"Don't eat."

"You really don't taste it?"

"No." There was only one word this time. In order to show the firmness of his heart, Yu Rui also deliberately turned his eyes away.

When he turned his face, Yu Rui happened to meet the central light source in the square from the dark side to create an atmosphere, and he subconsciously frowned.

The young man's profile was drawn with a beautiful outline by light and shadow.

Xie Li's eyes darkened.

After a while, he lifted his heels slightly, leaning on Yu Rui with a shaky appearance, relying on the balance of his body against the sky.

"Tast one."

Yu Rui wanted to hide, "No..."

"Otherwise I'll feed it myself and let them all see?"

"!"
