Tyler Nan could understand his brother's feelings. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if there was suddenly a stranger who had no relationship with him at home, especially Xiao Chengzi's situation was rather special.
"But where do you find the time to be together? I mean, you've been at home every day for the past two months..." Ethan Nan decided to ask clearly.
This question stumped Tyler Nan. If he told a lie, the genius Xiaobao would definitely see through it, which would reduce his trustworthiness; if he told the truth, it would be inappropriate for children.
"I, I usually date your sister-in-law at night." After weighing for a long time, Tyler Nan decided to tell the truth in a roundabout way.
"You weren't at home at night---" Ethan Nan suddenly realized, "So, you went out to date my sister-in-law while I was asleep?"
Late in the evening, a single man and a single woman, what kind of meeting is this or that?
Ethan Nan's face was red with shame and excitement.
I never expected that you are a gentle mother during the day and a domineering boss at night. Tyler Nan, you are such a protagonist!
"I'll introduce her to you tomorrow." Tyler Nan was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he hurriedly put the dishes into the dishwasher and went into the bedroom.
No, Ethan Nan was dazzled by the dog food - he just mentioned his sister-in-law, why was he so shy?
In the evening, Mason Chen replied to the email, asking him to come to school tomorrow morning and also attached the exam focus.
Ethan Nan opened the attachment and was frightened by the densely packed Chinese characters. Could these be all part of the test?
The worst thing is that he has a music elective course, and the final exam requires him to play the cello. In the original book, Ethan Nan's musical specialty is the cello, but he is not. He is good at making a simulated cello program. Can a musical instrument be mastered quickly?
The other two members of the cannon fodder trio seemed to have finished their review and were discussing in the group which island to visit during the winter vacation.
He hated everyone who prepared for the exam in advance equally.
Ethan Nan didn't think he would live on the ancient Earth for too long. He might have a reason for traveling through time. Maybe it was a little joke played on him by another high-tech civilization, or maybe he triggered a certain mechanism before traveling through time. Most changes in time and space are reversible. Ethan Nan believed that in time, he would return to the interstellar space again.
But staying in Ancient Earth for only a year or two is not a reason for him not to study hard! Even Caleb Cheng and Ryan Mo knew to review in advance and pass the exam to go home for the New Year. Tyler Nan treated him so well and praised him every day, Ethan Nan didn't want to disappoint his "brother". This is one reason, and more importantly:
When has Ethan Nan not been an A+? It would be better to kill him than to make him fail.
There were about a hundred pages of review materials printed out, and Ethan Nan was reciting them in the living room. It was around nine o'clock, and he deliberately yawned, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed."
"Drink a glass of milk before going to bed. I'll go heat it up." Tyler Nan closed his laptop, got up from the sofa and went into the kitchen.
After drinking milk and washing up, Ethan Nan pretended to be exhausted from reviewing, and fell onto the bed tiredly, even "forgetting" to close the bedroom door.
After lying in bed and waiting for about half an hour, he finally heard a slight noise from the living room near the entrance. Sure enough, it was confirmed that Tyler Nan had gone out on a "date" while he was sleeping!
Ethan Nan waited patiently for two minutes, then immediately put on his clothes and shoes, got out of bed and ran straight to the door.
The cheating man disappeared in a flash. Ethan Nan turned back to the house regretfully, and was suddenly grabbed by the collar from behind.
"Xiaobao, why are you going out so late?" Tyler Nan looked at him knowingly.
Damn it, she actually cheated him! Didn't he just want to see a sister-in-law?
"I'm going out for some fresh air."
"The riverside path is a good night jogging route. If you are afraid of being bored, why don't we develop a habit of night jogging?"
Ethan Nan, who never leaves the house, was embarrassed: "... still no."
In fact, he could see it tomorrow. He didn't know why he was in such a hurry and got caught.
The next morning, he went to the school library as Mason Chen had agreed.
In the one-on-one cubicle, Ethan Nan immediately saw Mason Chen, who was studying seriously.
Mason Chen was leaning back in his chair, calculating something. He caught a glimpse of Ethan Nan coming over and quickly stood up to open the door for him.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ethan Nan felt guilty and wished he had gotten up earlier.
"No, I reviewed in the library this morning." Mason Chen replied with a smile.
It's only nine o'clock now. "It's too early. Have you had breakfast?"
In the morning, Tyler Nan packed two pieces of cake for him, and Ethan Nan took them out and put them on the table.
"No thanks." Mason Chen shook his head.
"My brother has prepared it for you, too."
Two lunch boxes, two sets of knives and forks. Eating is not allowed in the library, but the school is almost owned by his family, so it doesn't matter.
Ethan Nan encountered a lot of difficulties in his review last night. Except for mathematics, he had to start from scratch for almost everything else.
Fortunately, he has a good memory and had memorized 70 to 80 percent of the content last night. Although he only understood about 20 to 30 percent, he was still able to answer any questions.
After a simple check, Mason Chenchu had the impression that he had reviewed quite well and should be able to pass if he worked harder.
At Nanshi University of the Arts, it is quite difficult to pass the exam, which is one of the reasons why professors don't care much about attendance - those who miss classes or slack off in class rarely pass the exam.
Three hours passed quickly, Ethan Nan understood it immediately and Mason Chen didn't have to spend much effort.
"Senior, do you want to go eat?" It was time for dinner. Ethan Nan packed up his things and asked Mason Chen expectantly.
The person opposite him hesitated, "No, you go eat, I'll go later when there are fewer people in the cafeteria."
"Are there many people here now?" Ethan Nan was also hesitant. He had never eaten in the school cafeteria of Nanjing University of the Arts.
Mason Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was not going out to eat with him. "It's just that there are more. I'll take you there."
"Thank you, senior~" Ethan Nan happily picked up her schoolbag and followed him.
The combination of the student union president and the school director's younger brother became the focus of everyone while they were still in the library.
Especially, Ethan Nan, as the young master of Nanshi Group, seldom appears on campus. Now he is together with the top student in the grade, which undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
The campus confession wall has exploded:
[Am I blind? Ethan Nan is with the school hunk? ]
[Tsk, it turns out Mason Chen is also a Phoenix man]
[What nonsense is the above person spouting? Apart from having some money, how is Ethan Nan worthy of Mason Chen? ]
[A little money? Are you kidding?]
[I haven't seen any rumors about Ethan Nan and Victor Li recently. Could it be that his target this time is the school hunk? ]
[It seems that the only thing that Master Nan and I have in common is our taste in men.]
[Add 1, I envy Ethan Nan's speed in changing men]
"Ethan Nan, can you come over to me?" Mason Chen turned around and asked.
"Huh?" Ethan Nan blinked, not understanding.
Mason Chen sighed, "You were walking behind me, I didn't even know if you were lost."
"I won't get lost, don't worry." Ethan Nan replied.
He couldn't stand walking side by side with his favorite character in the Nanjing University of the Arts.
Mason Chen, who was almost surrounded by teachers and students passing by, was under great pressure. He was afraid that others would think he bullied Ethan Nan, so he let her walk behind him.
The road to the cafeteria was particularly long, and a sports car stopped beside them. Emily Feng whistled and turned to Ethan Nan: "Ah Cheng, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"No need," Ethan Nan refused, "I will go there with my senior."
Changed taste, Emily Feng looked Mason Chen up and down and concluded, "Okay, I have a party the day after tomorrow, do you want to come?"
"Go ask someone else." Ethan Nan declined.
Emily Feng smiled wryly: "Okay, you have something to do, right? You must come next time."
The sports car drove away, and this time Ethan Nan walked side by side with Mason Chen, on the inside, so that the tall and big Mason Chen could just cover him.
Before arriving, Ethan Nan saw from afar two rows of employees wearing chef hats standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. They all had standard smiles on their faces, like a guard of honor. The two people in the front were holding up signs that said "Welcome" and "Distinguished Guest" respectively.
"Do you usually have such a big dinner?" Ethan Nan asked Mason Chen in a low voice.
"No, maybe they are welcoming other people." Mason Chen also didn't understand how the cafeteria operated.
Then, the leader of the "honor guard" noticed them and came over with a smile: "Welcome, Second Young Master."
Ethan Nan, who was still looking around to see if there was anyone nearby, reacted and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to return to the interstellar space immediately.
He pulled Mason Chen's sleeve and whispered, "Let's turn around."
The leader who came to greet him was still holding a sign, looking a little awkward.
Ethan Nan hurriedly explained: "We just took the wrong road. We were going to leave the school but accidentally walked into the cafeteria."
"Sorry, we thought you were going to come in for dinner." The guard of honor bowed and hurried back to report.
"Huh---" Ethan Nan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to find Mason Chen looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
Mason Chen realized his impolite behavior and turned his eyes away, "Nothing."
It was just different from what he imagined. Mason Chen was not a caveman, and he knew a little about the outrageous rumors about Ethan Nan. As expected, the rumors were unreliable.
"I'm sorry that you can't eat in the cafeteria. How about I treat you?"
Without giving Mason Chen a chance to refuse, Ethan Nan called the driver and asked him to book two seats.
The driver made a reservation at a highly rated western restaurant nearby. The reservation should have been made two or three months in advance, but the industries near Nanshi University of the Arts, even if they were not owned by Nanshi Group, were related to Nanshi Group.
The soothing piano music amplified Mason Chen's uneasiness; he was not used to being treated by others.
"What's delicious here?" Ethan Nan gave up looking at the menu and asked the waiter directly.
The waitress smiled and replied, "Everything is delicious."
"Oh," Ethan Nan was having difficulty making a decision. After consulting Mason Chen, he asked, "Can I let the chef make whatever I want?"
"Of course," the waitress wrote down the request, "May I ask what dietary restrictions you two have?"
"I don't have any, Senior, how about you?"
Mason Chen agreed: "Me neither."
Hmm? Ethan Nan remembered that he was allergic to mangoes.
"Oh, I forgot, I don't eat mangoes." Ethan Nan raised his hand and added.
"Okay," the waiter was amused by his elementary school behavior, "call me if you need anything else."
Mason Chen also smiled, and the uneasiness disappeared, "Don't you eat mangoes?"
"Well, I've been eating too much lately." Ethan Nan told a little lie.
The chef was probably in a very good mood, and the food didn't come out after waiting for a long time. Ethan Nan was bored and dazed.
"Hello, little brother, can I borrow a glass of water from you?" The big sister with a pleasant fragrance came over and asked.
"Sure." Ethan Nan said without hesitation.
The high heels walked away with a "tapping" sound, but Ethan Nan's eyes were still glued to that beautiful figure.
Suddenly, Ethan Nan's eyes widened---
The older sister directly poured the water she borrowed from him onto a gentleman. The lady sitting opposite the gentleman was frightened and her expression was out of control.
Wow, the world is so wonderful. You can eat melon while sitting.
Ethan Nan didn't dare to look away, for fear of missing even a single second of excitement.
"I didn't expect to see you here." The elder sister who splashed the water sneered, no longer as gentle as before.
Regardless of his personality, the gentleman who was splashed looked quite good: his nose was high and straight from the side, with smooth lines, and transparent drops of water dripped down his slightly curled long eyelashes, while some slid into the crook of his neck and disappeared under his shirt... Ethan Nan swallowed unconsciously, what a beautiful man.
Normally, being humiliated in public would make one angry and feel guilty, but this beautiful gentleman did not react at all. He took the towel handed over by the waiter and wiped off the water droplets before standing up. He responded without any embarrassment: "Ms. Gao, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"I don't care, if it weren't for you, my parents wouldn't have died!" The elder sister's eyes were red and she was very emotional. She threw the water cup heavily to the ground, and large pieces of it flew into the air.
How did this rise from a melodramatic plot to a criminal case? Ethan Nan has finally gotten his comeuppance.
"I will not comment on unsubstantiated allegations."
"You, you---Lucas Xie, you know clearly whether I have slandered you or not!"
After being persuaded by the waiter, the elder sister left the restaurant with red eyes.
Ethan Nan was so focused on eating the melon that he didn't even notice the food was served.
I don’t know if it was Ethan Nan's illusion, but he always felt that the gentleman looked in his direction after apologizing to the restaurant manager.
Wait, did the elder sister just call him Lucas Xie?
Impossible. My brother's friend can't be a member of a bloody love triangle and a suspect in a criminal case.
