Yang Qi looked at Zhao Yixin speechlessly. Although he didn't have much contact with Zhao Yiwei, Yang Qi could tell that Zhao Yiwei cared about his sister very much.
The person Yang Qi talked about the most was Zhao Yixin. It was obvious that she wanted Yang Qi to know more about Zhao Yixin. After all, at Zhao Yixin's age, it was time to talk about marriage, not the kind of dating that young people do.
There are not many guests in the evening. Some guests who live a little further away will not arrive until tomorrow at noon. Those who come in the evening are basically close friends and relatives.
Yang Qi and Zhao Yixin were eating at the same table with the old man and Zhao Yixin's aunts. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous while eating with several elders. After finally finishing dinner, he left the table as if escaping.
"Congratulations, you've defeated a love rival." Zhao Yixin came to Yang Qi and said with a smile on her face.
"Chen Kang is gone?" Yang Qi was stunned, then spoke.
"Of course. Even his medical skills, which he is most proud of, are not as good as yours. How could he possibly stay? I don't think he will come to celebrate your birthday tomorrow at noon." Zhao Yixin said with a pout.
Chen Kang naturally didn't care about a meal. If there was another chance, he would definitely come back to celebrate birthday. However, after what happened tonight, even the old man who liked him the most had a drastic change in his attitude towards Yang Qi, so he no longer had any chance.
"Are you happy that he is gone? Your grandma will have one less birthday gift tomorrow." Yang Qi smiled. If Chen Kang came to celebrate the birthday, the birthday gift would definitely not be bad. After all, he came for the old man's granddaughter.
"Tsk, who cares about his birthday gift." Zhao Yixin said with disdain.
Yang Qi smiled bitterly, then said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Actually, this Chen Kang is not bad. He has a car and a house, and he's a doctor. He's not bad looking either. How about you consider him?"
Chen Kang's conditions are indeed good. Although Chen Kang's previous actions seemed a bit stingy, Yang Qi is his love rival. How could Chen Kang be generous to his love rival? In addition, Chen Kang is indeed a successful young man. No wonder the old man liked him so much before, and even knew that Yang Qi was Zhao Yixin's boyfriend, but he didn't admit it in front of the other party.
"Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged people are plentiful." Zhao Yixin looked indifferent.
"Whatever you want." Yang Qi shrugged. Anyway, he was just temporarily pretending to be Zhao Yixin's boyfriend.
"By the way, come with me to pick up my brother tomorrow at noon." Zhao Yixin said suddenly.
"Your brother?" Yang Qi was stunned, and then he remembered that he had only met Zhao Yixin's brother tonight but not her brother.
"Is your brother still studying?" Yang Qi looked at Zhao Yixin in surprise.
Zhao Yixin nodded and said, "He is in his third year of high school this year and will have to attend classes this summer."
After hearing Zhao Yixin's explanation, Yang Qicai remembered that there was basically no holiday in the summer before the third year of high school. There were only a few days of rest after the exams and in the middle of the semester. The old man's birthday happened to be in late July, and Zhao Yixin's younger brother was still in class.
"Originally my parents wanted my brother to take a leave, but grandma disagreed, saying that now is the most critical time for him and he can just come back tomorrow at noon to celebrate his birthday." Zhao Yixin said.
Yang Qi nodded. He understood this very well. In fact, he was also in school when his grandfather passed away. When he was seriously ill, his family didn't call him. It was only when his grandfather's funeral was held that they asked him to go home.
In the eyes of the older generation, everything else is inferior except studying, and going to college is an extremely important thing. Anyone who has the grades to be admitted to college will be fully supported.
"Okay, we'll go pick up your brother tomorrow." Yang Qi nodded.
By this time the sky had completely darkened and the guests were gradually leaving. As the birthday celebrant, it was naturally impossible for the old man to see them off personally. These matters were handled by Zhao Yixin's parents. However, Zhao Yiwei and his wife would also help see the guests off.
As the guests gradually left, the courtyard became deserted. Some guests who lived far away were arranged to stay at the homes of relatives and friends nearby. The people who were responsible for helping to prepare the banquet also began to pack up and prepare some things that would be used tomorrow.
Nowadays every household has a refrigerator, which is quite convenient. Unlike when Yang Qi was a child, there were very few refrigerators in the countryside, and it was very troublesome to hold a banquet in the summer.
As the helpers left, Zhao Yiwei and his wife rushed back to their home, leaving only Zhao De's family.
"Xinxin, you and Yang Qi can rest on the third floor tonight. It's quiet there. People who will help with the banquet will be here early tomorrow morning, so don't worry about it being too noisy." Wang Qiuyue said.
Zhao Yixin nodded. After sitting in the car for several hours and dealing with the interrogation of her aunts and uncles, she was a little tired and wanted to have a good rest.
"You sleep in the room on the left, and I'll sleep in the room on the right." Zhao Yixin said when they arrived on the third floor.
Yang Qi nodded and came to the room on the left. As soon as he opened the room, he was dumbfounded.
"What's going on?" Looking at the room full of clutter, Yang Qi's mouth twitched fiercely. How could he sleep like this
Although Yang Qi spent a night in cultivation, the room was in a mess without even a bed. Who was there
"What's going on?" Yang Qi was speechless. He quickly walked to Zhao Yixin's room. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Yixin lying on the bed.
"That's a storage room, how can I sleep?" Yang Qi asked directly.
"The utility room?"
Zhao Yixin was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'll go ask my mom and the others."
After saying that, Zhao Yixin dragged her somewhat tired body downstairs.
"Red?" Looking at the color of the bed sheet, Yang Qi's mouth twitched, especially the big red word "囍" on it. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.
After a while, Zhao Yixin went downstairs and returned to the room.
"My mother asked you to rest in this room." Zhao Yixin said with embarrassment.
"Just rest here?" Yang Qi was stunned.
"My mom said we are boyfriend and girlfriend, so..." Zhao Yixin blushed. She remembered her mom told her that since they were both doing that, it was okay to stay in the same room at night. They were not antiques and had new bedsheets. She also specially asked them to live on the third floor so they didn't have to worry about being disturbed.
The most terrifying thing was that when she was leaving, her mother stuffed a box of something in her hand and told her to remember to give it to Yang Qi!
After talking to her mother for just a few words, Zhao Yixin wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Unfortunately, all of this was her own fault in the afternoon, and she couldn't blame Wang Qiuyue at all.
"Your mother is really open-minded." Yang Qi's mouth twitched.
"Bang~"
At this moment, there was a loud door slamming outside the house. Zhao Yixin hurried out to take a look, and finally returned to the room with a bitter face. "My mother locked the room next door."
"Your mother is so cruel!" Yang Qi was speechless. How much Zhao Yixin's mother hoped that he would harm her daughter! (To be continued)
