Except for his pair of azure noble phoenix eyes, there is no trace of his former youth on the man's face. His skin is much rougher than before, and he even has a beard, like an exotic uncle.
It seems that this year, he has experienced ups and downs, and his whole life has changed for many years.
However, when he looked at Shengge, his eyes were still full of tenderness and doting.
"Sister Sheng, long time no see."
Shengge froze on the spot, staring at him.
She hadn't seen him for almost a year, and she didn't expect to see Ning Chengxu again. He had changed, and he seemed much more mature and steady.
After sizing him up for a while, she raised a smile on her red lips and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Ning."
Ning Chengxu was slightly surprised, probably because of the name she called him, but after looking at Ji Yuting behind her, he understood.
He gently opened his hand and said expectantly: "We have been apart for so long, can you... give me a hug after a long separation?"
Shengge didn't answer, but turned back to look at Ji Yuting.
Ji Yuting lowered his head, did not express his position, and his expression was unclear.
In front of him, a hug wouldn't be a particularly outrageous move, so it shouldn't matter, right?
Thinking of this, she tentatively stepped forward and opened her arms.
But one meter away from Ning Chengxu, his arm was lightly hit from behind.
She turned around and saw Ji Yuting walking around him towards Ning Chengxu. His face was gloomy, he didn't seem happy, and he looked like he was going to hit someone.
On the first day of his return, as a welcome gift, Ning Chengxu was going to get a beating?
"husband......"
Before she could finish her words to stop him, Shengge saw Ji Yuting open his arms and give Ning Chengxu a reluctant hug.
He said: "My wife is a married woman. If it is inconvenient for her, I will do it for her."
After saying that, he slapped Ning Chengxu's back hard twice with his palm.
Ning Chengxu: "..."
Both men had expressions of great disgust on their faces.
Shengge chuckled, suddenly struck by how adorable they were.
"Okay, how long are you two going to hold each other? Why do you think I'm superfluous?"
Ji Yuting and Ning Chengxu immediately let go of each other. Both of them had dark faces and were extremely awkward.
Shengge took Ji Yuting's hand and led him to sit down opposite Ning Chengxu.
"Why do you suddenly want to come back this time?"
Ning Chengxu smiled, hiding a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "It's not that I suddenly want to come back. I've been in a foreign country for so long, and I still feel like I'm still missing something in my heart. I'm not at ease, so I came back to take a look. I sent it to you a few days ago.
The express letter mentioned this, I thought you knew..."
"Did you send a courier?"
Shengge was suspicious and recalled carefully, it seemed that he had received a courier before.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy these past few days, so I don't have time. Lu Shiyi has been picking up the express. I really forgot to look at it."
Ning Chengxu smiled in relief: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal."
The three of them exchanged some pleasantries.
Shengge: "By the way, do you know that the Ning family recognized Ning Xiaoqing? You have another fifth sister."
"Ning Xiaoqing?"
Ning Chengxu didn't know that in the past year of teaching in rural areas abroad, he had never asked about the Ning family.
I only asked about Shengge, and I was very happy to know that Ji Yuting treated her very well.
"She is the female star contracted by my angle, and she is also a good friend of mine from the Fangcheng Orphanage. She is my third brother..."
