Qin Siyang brought Li Pengfei and knocked on the door of Wen Shu and Xu Lanzhi's room.
Wen Shu opened the door, and the smell of food drifted out from inside.
Seeing Qin Siyang, Wen Shu gave a sweet smile, "You're looking for me… hmm? Who's this child?"
"Li Tianming's son, Li Pengfei. I call him Brother Fei."
Li Pengfei didn't respond to Qin Siyang's words. He obediently bowed to Wen Shu, "Hello, sister."
Qin Siyang glanced at Li Pengfei without making it obvious.
That innocent look was the most deceptive. He looked well-behaved, but he was sharp for his age.
"What do you need from me?"
"Oh, Old Li's been a bit busy lately. He asked me to help look after Brother Fei and take him to and from school. Brother Fei likes reading. I figured you like reading too, so I brought him over."
After hearing that, Wen Shu brushed the loose hair by her ear and glanced at Qin Siyang, "I really didn't expect you to use that reason to come see me."
"Uh...", Qin Siyang scratched his head, "You both like reading. You've got the same interests. You can teach him a bit too, help give the kid some early learning."
Wen Shu pouted slightly, "Alright. Then after Grandma and I finish dinner…"
"Is it Student Qin who's here?"
Xu Lanzhi's voice came from inside the room.
Qin Siyang immediately replied warmly, "Grandma Xu, it's me! I came to see you!"
Xu Lanzhi walked to the door with her cane.
"Came to see me?", Xu Lanzhi smiled kindly, "Did Student Qin bring any good things for this old lady?"
"Uh…"
With both hands empty, Qin Siyang was instantly stumped by Xu Lanzhi's question.
Wen Shu leaned against the door, teasingly watching Qin Siyang's awkward state.
Li Pengfei also stared at him with big watery eyes, waiting for him to speak.
For the first time, Qin Siyang felt like it would be great if there were a crack in the ground he could crawl into.
Just when Qin Siyang didn't know what to do, Xu Lanzhi smiled again and helped him out, "Little Shu, since Little Qin came to see you, go chat with him for a while."
"Grandma, I'll eat with you first."
"No need. I can eat by myself. Little Qin is quite busy. It's not easy for him to make time to see you. Be considerate of each other."
As she spoke, she felt around on the sofa by the door, picked up two books, and placed them in Wen Shu's arms.
"I just heard Little Qin say he came because of reading. You just brought these books back today. You can read them together."
"Grandma…"
"You two hurry up and go read. You can have dinner together in the hall too. Don't delay me here. The food on the table is getting cold."
Wen Shu looked at Xu Lanzhi with some dissatisfaction, "Grandma!"
"Go, go, go…"
As she spoke, Xu Lanzhi pushed Wen Shu out of the room and gently closed the door.
Wen Shu helplessly glanced at the tightly shut door, then at Qin Siyang, "Don't just stand there. Let's go to the hall."
"Oh, okay. Brother Fei, let's go!"
The three of them sat in the hall. Qin Siyang smiled and asked, "Wen Shu, which book should we read first? The ones in your hands look pretty good… Floating Mirror Realm, just the title sounds great. Wilderness Dream Collector, that sounds exciting too, and Galaxy Verses…"
"Brother Qin," Li Pengfei interrupted, "If possible, can we eat first?"
Qin Siyang glanced at Li Pengfei.
Realizing Qin Siyang seemed a bit unhappy about being interrupted, Li Pengfei pointed at his stomach, "Brother Qin, I'm really hungry."
Wen Shu smiled, "If none of us have eaten yet, let's eat first."
"Alright. Tell me what you want to eat. I'll call the guesthouse front desk to order."
Li Pengfei's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked obediently, "Can I have French fries and Coke?"
Qin Siyang nodded, "Brother Fei wants shredded potatoes with vinegar sauce and a glass of hot milk? Alright, done."
Li Pengfei blinked and stared at Qin Siyang curiously.
'What just happened?'
'Was what I said encrypted by the air between us?'
Qin Siyang said calmly, "I wouldn't dare order junk food for you. If Old Li finds out, he'll scold me to death. Let's just get something similar. If you want fries and Coke, wait until Old Li comes to pick you up and ask him."
Li Pengfei looked a bit wronged, "But Uncle Li doesn't let me eat them either…"
Hearing Li Pengfei call Li Tianming "uncle," Wen Shu subconsciously looked at Qin Siyang in confusion.
Qin Siyang shook his head slightly, and Wen Shu didn't ask further.
"If Old Li won't let you, what about President Chen?"
Li Pengfei drooped his eyebrows, "Aunt Chen is on the same side as Uncle Li. She'll explain from a health point of view how bad it is for me to eat those things. She won't help me at all."
Hearing Li Pengfei say that, Qin Siyang felt that Chen Fenghe really did treat Li Pengfei like her own child, not spoiling him just to leave a good impression in his heart.
He couldn't help sighing, "President Chen really suits Old Li."
"Brother Qin, just let me have it once…"
"No."
Li Pengfei then turned to Wen Shu with an innocent and pitiful face, "Sister Wen…"
Wen Shu smiled at Li Pengfei, "If all three of them don't want you to eat it, I can't do anything either."
Li Pengfei lowered his head unhappily and played with his fingers, no longer speaking.
Qin Siyang ordered a few more dishes, and the three of them had a rich but moderate dinner together.
Although it wasn't Li Pengfei's favorite food, he still ate quite a lot, so Qin Siyang didn't have to worry about him being picky.
After eating, Wen Shu picked up a book and handed it to Li Pengfei. The two of them leaned against the sofa and read together.
At first, Qin Siyang also picked up a book. But after reading about ten pages, it was like he had drunk some kind of sleeping potion and couldn't keep his eyes open.
Then he looked at the two of them.
Wen Shu sipped tea while leisurely turning the pages, completely absorbed.
Li Pengfei held the book with both hands, his eyes fixed on it with total focus.
Not a trace of tiredness.
Qin Siyang had used the excuse of bringing Li Pengfei to learn from Wen Shu just to see her, and he really wanted to find a reason to chat a bit.
But the other two were each immersed in their books, with no intention of talking at all.
At that moment, Qin Siyang felt that the gap between people was even bigger than the gap between people and dogs.
So he stopped pretending, tossed the book aside, and picked up his phone to browse the forum.
After looking for a while, Qin Siyang felt full of energy again.
Sure enough, a country bumpkin can't handle refined food. He was more suited to simple, easy information.
But for some reason, sitting next to Wen Shu, even browsing forum posts felt much more relaxed and pleasant than before.
Wen Shu glanced at Qin Siyang, smiled, and shook her head, then continued reading.
The three of them just sat there quietly together until bedtime.
"It's late. Time to rest."
"Brother Fei, stop reading. It's time to sleep."
"Oh… okay. Sister Wen, can I continue reading this book tomorrow?"
Wen Shu smiled, "Come find me tomorrow. I'll take you to the library to borrow two books you like, how about that?"
"Sister Wen can also borrow books from South Glory University's library?"
"Yes. Your Brother Qin helped me get the library card."
Li Pengfei looked at Qin Siyang, slightly puzzled, "But Uncle Li said library cards are very hard to get. How come even Brother Qin can get one?"
Qin Siyang narrowed his eyes, "Brother Fei, I feel like you're looking down on me a bit."
Li Pengfei shrank his neck and waved his hands, "No, no. Brother Qin is the most amazing!"
