Chapter 507: Chapter 506, Holding Just Right

Xu Wendong, filled with curiosity, found a black robe, put it on, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

As he pushed open the bedroom door, he was greeted by a series of crisp sounds coming from outside, as if someone was tidying up dishes.

Upon reaching the first floor, Xu Wendong spotted a familiar figure.

She was wearing a black work outfit, an apron tied around her front, and was diligently tidying up the mess on the dining table.

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?"

Seeing his middle school classmate, Nie Xiaoyu, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask.

"When did you come back?" Nie Xiaoyu’s eyes were full of joy.

"Not too long ago," Xu Wendong walked over to the dining table to help tidy up and then asked, "You haven’t answered my earlier question. Weren’t you going to school? Why are you working here?"

Nie Xiaoyu smiled, "The school is on break. I had nothing to do, so I came back to earn some living expenses. Just in case I get into university in the future, I won’t have to drop out for not being able to afford tuition!"

She was alone, without any family.

Even though she had bought a house in the city,

that place didn’t give her any sense of belonging.

So, when she was free, she would return to Shengjing Shanshui Villa District. First, she could earn some income through her efforts, and second, she wanted to keep herself busy.

"Don’t worry about tuition fees. Just focus on your studies. When you get into university, I’ll cover all your tuition fees," Xu Wendong didn’t want Nie Xiaoyu’s academics to be affected by money.

Nie Xiaoyu forced a smile, "Actually, I just wanted to keep myself busy and make life a bit more fulfilling."

Xu Wendong sighed quietly.

Even though he helped Nie Xiaoyu get justice and enabled her to return to school successfully,

but,

could this change her altered fate?

She had already entered society and witnessed the deceit and cruelty of this world, unable to enter school like a blank sheet of paper.

"Do you have time at noon? I was thinking of treating you to a meal to show my appreciation for your help!" Nie Xiaoyu nervously looked at Xu Wendong.

Nie Xiaoyu remembered his help and always wanted to invite him for a meal to express her gratitude.

Xu Wendong smiled, "Do we need to be so formal between us?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth did he regret it; he saw a trace of disappointment in the girl’s eyes.

He quickly changed his tone, "But, having a meal is definitely something I can do."

The girl beamed, "Okay, once I finish tidying here, I’ll go home to prepare lunch."

Xu Wendong glanced at the time and smiled wryly, "Hey, it’s nearly eleven o’clock. When will you finish tidying? You should go prepare lunch now! Otherwise, I’ll have to give you a negative review."

"See you in a bit!" Nie Xiaoyu knew Xu Wendong wanted to lighten her workload, blushing as she spoke, then removed the apron in front of her and left the villa.

Xu Wendong spent nearly an hour cleaning up the dining room and loading the dishes into the dishwasher. After noticing the four others were still asleep upstairs, he left a note, then drove out of the neighborhood.

It wasn’t their fault for sleeping in; after all, last night was tiring, not to mention the amount of alcohol consumed.

Since it was his first time going to Nie Xiaoyu’s house, Xu Wendong made a special trip to buy some gifts at the supermarket and then followed the address she gave him to arrive at an upscale neighborhood.

Ding dong!

He rang the doorbell.

"Coming!"

Along with a cheerful voice, a girl in white loungewear with her hair simply tied into a ponytail opened the door with a spatula in her hand.

Seeing Xu Wendong carrying many gifts, Nie Xiaoyu joked with a smile, "Making Boss Xu spend money! Come on in!" She said, retrieving a pair of brand-new slippers from the shoe cabinet for him.

At that moment, as she bent over, a hint of spring showed at her collar, small yet perfectly round, like a little bun.

Xu Wendong awkwardly averted his gaze.

Yet his heart uncontrollably thumped.

The women around him were all abundantly endowed, but none were as petite as Nie Xiaoyu, sparking a perverse thought.

If he were to hold this petite thing in his hand, wouldn’t it be interesting?

Though not large,

holding it with one hand would be just right.

Even though Xu Wendong quickly looked away, Nie Xiaoyu still noticed, with her face instantly turning a shade of embarrassed red, her mood filled with unease. "Why don’t you have a rest while I go stir-fry some dishes!" She said, turning and heading into the kitchen.

Xu Wendong casually took off his coat, revealing a thin T-shirt underneath, then began to tour Nie Xiaoyu’s house.

A two-bedroom, one living room, one bathroom.

It looked over eighty square meters, with a Nordic minimalist style of decor, presenting a visually pleasing feeling.

The house wasn’t big.

But for her to live alone, it was more than adequate.

On the living room TV cabinet was a large photo of their middle school classmates — though everyone wore brightly colored clothes, looking so young and immature.

Yet it brought Xu Wendong back to his middle school days.

He had a copy of this photo, but one rainy night after middle school graduation, the roof at home leaked, causing the photo to be damaged.

Looking carefully at the photo,

Xu Wendong suddenly realized something.

In the photo, he and Nie Xiaoyu were side by side, but he had never noticed before that Nie Xiaoyu’s head was obviously tilted, leaning in his direction during the photo.

It looked as if she was purposely leaning toward him, her face beaming with a bright smile.

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

Knowing the young girl had a crush on him.

But...

as a scoundrel,

Xu Wendong could never betray Nie Xiaoyu’s affection for him.

After all, she was his white moonlight!

A very important friend from his youthful years.

"Boss Xu, lunch is ready!"

Nie Xiaoyu emerged from the kitchen carrying dishes, and warmly called out.

Xu Wendong came to the dining room to see four dishes and a soup on the table, though he hadn’t yet tasted them, he was quite surprised by Nie Xiaoyu’s cooking skills.

The appearance and aroma were exceptional, the taste should be quite good too.

The most important thing was,

they were all dishes Xu Wendong had eaten back in middle school, especially the diced chili and meat dish, which took significant effort.

Back in middle school, when both lived on campus to save costs, they would bring easy-to-store dishes, and Nie Xiaoyu often brought diced chili and meat.

But the chili wasn’t just any kind; it was the small peppers hit by frost in late autumn, having a unique flavor and mixed with the meat, creating a distinctive taste.

Especially when paired with steaming buns, breaking open the bun to put in the spicy diced meat, it was mouthwatering.

To this day, Xu Wendong couldn’t quite describe that taste.

But now, that taste in his heart was called [Youth].
