Chapter 1628: Chapter 1622: Want to Stay

The ribs were originally bought to make soup for the children, but since guests came today, Qin Jiale decided to make sweet and sour ribs instead. The kids liked them anyway, and they could always buy more ribs another day to make soup for them.

“Alright, thank you, Auntie. You should eat too.” Ye Li used the communal chopsticks to pick up a piece and placed it in Nangong Shulan’s bowl.

“Thank you, you guys eat more. We can often eat this at home, but you all work hard with your studies and probably don’t eat well at school, so you should eat more to nourish yourselves.” Nangong Shulan had a good impression of these two young men; they were polite and didn’t talk much.

“Alright, we’ll all eat then.” Ye Li couldn’t resist the warm hospitality, and it wouldn’t be right not to eat or to eat alone, so he ended up giving in to Nangong Shulan’s enthusiasm and ate.

As soon as the ribs entered his mouth, his eyes brightened. The ribs were sweet and sour, the meat was tender and well-cooked, and the outside was crispy. The taste and texture were excellent. He didn’t know about the others, but this dish suited his taste perfectly.

This meal made Ye Li thoroughly enjoy himself, and as a result, when he finally put down his bowl, he realized that he had eaten too much out of greed, something that had never happened to him in many years.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the meal. It was just some homemade food, nothing special.” At the end, Qin Lei was still urging them to eat more.

“Uncle, the food Lele made was so delicious. I really don’t want to leave your house.” Guan Xiaojun licked her lips, wanting more.

“You are welcome to come often when you have time. It’s just that the journey is quite far, and it’s not very reassuring to have you girls come on your own. So, we run a small business by the station, and if you want to come and play with Lele, just talk to your parents and then come find me. I’ll bring you back, and you can stay for a day or two before going home.” Qin Lei smiled because he was happy that classmates wanted to visit his daughter.

But thinking about these girls coming alone, he wasn’t very reassured, so he came up with a way to handle it.

“Really? That’s great! Then we won’t go back today. Can we stay at your house and go to school with Lele the day after tomorrow?” Guan Xiaojun, hearing Qin Lei’s words, immediately voiced their decision.

“We don’t have any issues here. It’s just a matter of whether your parents would agree.” It was no problem for Qin Lei. Anyway, his daughter was alone at home, so having classmates around would give her company.

“Mr. Ye, may I stay here for two days? Just two days.” Upon hearing this, Ye Zishu immediately turned to look at Ye Junhua.

“Is this what you all want, or have you all discussed this?” Ye Junhua didn’t immediately answer his daughter’s question but instead asked the others.

“Uncle Ye, please let our parents know when you go back. We’ll definitely return to school on time the day after tomorrow and won’t let our studies fall behind.” The group exchanged glances and then spoke in unison.

“Alright, I see. Well then, you all can play for two days. Just don’t do anything dangerous and don’t cause trouble for Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, okay?” Looking at the atmosphere in the Qin family, Ye Junhua thought it might be good for them to stay and play for two days; perhaps they would have different experiences, so he didn’t oppose the idea.

Of course, if he hadn’t seen it himself and interacted with the Qin couple, he wouldn’t have agreed to his daughter’s decision.
