Early the next morning, Lu Huai and Ning Li sent Ning Li to the airport.
Ning Li said goodbye to him and boarded the plane back to Yunzhou.
At noon, Ning Li returned to Ye's house.
Ye Ming went to the company, Su Yuan took Ye Cheng out to play, and only Ye Ci was at home.
There's been a low air pressure throughout the house lately.
Su Yuan only thought it was because Ye Ci failed the exam at the end of the semester, and she didn't know that there was an object competition involved.
She persuaded Ye Ci several times in private, but found that the effect was not great, so she stopped talking.
After all, things like grades cannot be improved by just saying a few more words.
In addition, she was also afraid that if she spoke too many times, she would put more pressure on Ye Ci.
So recently she has secretly started looking for tutors.
She didn't know at all that Ye Ci's appearance was not entirely due to the final grades, but more because of the object competition.
Aunt Zhao was cleaning up the dishes in the restaurant, when she heard the movement, she glanced this way.
When she saw that it was Ning Li, she immediately said in a strange voice:
"Hey, so it's Miss Ning who's back? Why didn't you tell me in advance, you didn't keep your meal."
People with foreign surnames who don't even come back for the New Year have no need to please.
Who knows where she went wild again
Although Aunt Zhao was smiling, her eyes and brows were full of sarcasm and contempt. When she saw Ning Li pushing the suitcase in, she didn't have the slightest intention to step forward to help.
Ning Li ignored her and went upstairs with the box.
It was embarrassing for Aunt Zhao to be so ignored.
It wasn't until Ning Li went upstairs that she couldn't help but snorted:
"Do you really think of yourself as a young lady? There is no rule at all! There is nothing to be proud of! Sooner or later, I will be kicked out!"
Ye Ci was staying in her room, and when she heard the movement outside, she guessed that Ning Li had returned, so she covered her phone and said:
"Jingxuan, Sister Ning Li is back, I'll hang up first."
Cao Jingxuan was a little surprised:
"She just came back from the capital?"
"Um."
Cao Jingxuan seemed to be smiling.
"I'm really envious. During the Spring Festival, my parents are very strict with me. If I can go out as soon as I want like Ning Li, I'll be able to stay as long as I want."
Ye Ci pursed her lips slightly, and said softly:
"Sister Ning Li has good grades and an independent personality. She has always made parents worry."
"That's right, her grades are really good. If I could do as well as her in the exam, I would be happy to die."
Cao Jingxuan laughed and joked a few words,
"Then I'll hang up first."
"See you."
Ye Ci hung up the phone, her eyes fell on the papers spread out on her desk.
She has been looking at this circuit diagram for a long time, but she still can't figure it out.
If it was Ning Li, it should be easy to write, right
She remembered Cao Jingxuan's words again, gritted her teeth, got up and went to open the door.
Ning Li has already walked to the door of her room.
Ye Ci called her:
"Sister Ning Li, are you back?"
While opening the door, Ning Li looked back at her:
"Is something wrong?"
Her expression was as calm and indifferent as ever, with an invisible layer of alienation.
For some reason, when she bumped into those black and white clear and clean peach blossom eyes, the words in her throat suddenly became speechless.
"No, nothing."
Ye Ci murmured,
"You haven't come back for a long time, Mom, Dad and Xiao Sheng miss you very much."
After she finished speaking, Ning Li seemed to smile.
But looking closely, the smile disappeared again, as if it was just her illusion.
"Is it?"
Ning Li asked in a low voice, and at the same time pushed open the door and pushed the box in, as if she didn't intend to listen to Ye Ci's answer.
But a word of perfunctory.
click.
The door closes.
Ye Ci stared at the door for a long time, with emotions in his eyes.
But in the end she said nothing and turned back to the room.
She sent a message to Ye Ming and Su Yuandu, saying that Ning Li was back.
Ning Li caught up with her sleep, went out at three o'clock in the afternoon, and took a taxi to the rented house.
She didn't return to Ye's house until seven o'clock in the evening.
The food on the table was very rich, Ye Ming and the others were all there, and they didn't move their chopsticks.
It seems to be waiting for her.
Sure enough, when he saw her, Ye Ming beckoned.
"Ning Li is back? Come and eat."
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes beside him.
He really didn't know why the whole family had to wait for Ning Li here!
But the atmosphere at home has been bad for the past few days, and he dare not make trouble.
Ning Li raised her eyebrows slightly.
Such a big battle is really rare.
She walked over as usual.
Ye Ming said:
"We're all a family. If we didn't have a meal together on New Year's Eve this year, this meal will be a treat for you."
family.
Ning Li's lips curved slightly.
"Thank you, Uncle Ye."
The atmosphere of the meal is subtle.
Ye Ming talked a lot, and asked Ning Li some questions, most of which were about her New Year's Eve in the capital.
Ning Li answered tentatively, and played Tai Chi with him.
After a meal, Ye Ming could hardly ask anything.
Only then did he realize that Ning Li was more difficult to deal with than he thought.
But that's not the point.
After dinner, Ye Ming called Ning Li and Ye Ci to the study.
Su Yuan didn't know why, but this was Ye Ming's decision, and of course she would not object.
Ning Li put down her chopsticks, got up and went upstairs.
Ye Ci followed closely behind.
"Sister Ning Li, wait for me."
study.
Ye Ming sat on the chair and crossed his hands.
"Ning Li, Xiao Ci, sit down."
Ning Li didn't move:
"Uncle Ye, if you have something to say, just say it."
Ye Ming choked for a moment, but glanced at Ye Ci next to him, remained silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth:
"I know everything about you at the winter camp."
Ning Li looked calm, waiting for his next sentence.
Ye Ming hesitated and said:
"Ning Li, I invite you here today. Uncle wants to ask you something."
"Xiaoci said, you wrote two notebooks for her before, didn't you?"
