I have a lot of dating skills.

Zhao Fei then realized what was happening, shook off Xin Yu's hand, and gestured to him with her eyes.

Xin Yu hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Zhao Weijing and reached out to put his arm around her waist. Zhao Weijing did not object, but just angrily took a sip of her drink.

"This... is mine." Under Zhao Fei's murderous gaze, Xin Yu had no choice but to say.

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him with a resentful look in her eyes: "You won't even give me a drink, you don't love me anymore."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a pang of heartache. He quickly hugged her and comforted her, "I was just kidding. It's okay, don't be angry. I love you the most."

"...Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Zhao Weijing felt embarrassed when she heard him say that. She glanced at Zhao Fei subconsciously, then quickly looked away, blushing and lowering her head.

Consort Zhao's face darkened; she couldn't bear to look any longer and stormed upstairs.

Seeing this, Zhao Weijing asked Xin Yu nervously, "Is she angry? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be angry with you."

"It's nothing, she's just feeling a little unwell," Xin Yu whispered in her ear.

Zhao Weijing recalled her own experience and felt relieved. She did feel quite unwell the day after she got together with Xin Yu. Zhao Fei was still able to go shopping with Xin Yu, which was much better than her.

"Why did you go out with her? You didn't let her rest properly." The girl then complained, seemingly worried about Zhao Fei's health.

Xin Yu couldn't admit that he had treated Zhao Fei, so he could only remain silent.

"Where did you go last night?" Xin Yu asked, embracing the girl for a moment.

“I went out with Jiamin. We went shopping, watched a movie, and had dinner. Later, Yingxi came to find us, and the three of us went to karaoke together. I stayed overnight at Jiamin's house. Jiamin's sister doesn't come home often, and she's quite lonely by herself.”

After recounting her experience from yesterday, Zhao Weijing bit her lip and asked him softly, "And what about you guys?"

She seemed to care a lot.

Xin Yu didn't hide anything and gave a general account of his and Zhao Fei's itinerary yesterday, but of course, he didn't mention a word about the details of the evening.

However, the girl obviously knew, because she had just been upstairs and into Zhao Fei's room, where she saw the messy sheets and the marks left on them.

"Are you satisfied now?" Zhao Weijing pouted and pinched his waist with her small hand, a little jealous.

"What I'm most satisfied with is having you." Xin Yu kissed her cheek.

"And what about her?" she pressed on.

"By the way, have you eaten? Don't go hungry. I'll cook for you."

Xin Yu immediately changed the subject, letting go of her and standing up. Zhao Weijing, however, grabbed him and wouldn't let him leave. She finished her drink in one gulp and said, "This is enough for me. Okay, I won't ask anymore. Chat with me for a bit."

Xin Yu had no choice but to sit down again and kiss her tenderly.

After the kiss, she asked, "What did it taste like?"

"Sweet."

The two spent half a day cuddling, after which Xin Yu was sent upstairs by Zhao Weijing to accompany Zhao Fei. The little girl finally resolved her inner conflict. Since she could accept Huo Yingxi and even Bei Jiamin, why couldn't she accept Zhao Fei?

Moreover, Zhao Fei has a closer relationship with her, and Xin Yu is the only man Zhao Fei has never disliked over the years. No matter how you look at it, it's only natural for Xin Yu to be with Zhao Fei.

"Let's keep it this way from now on, so the whole family can be happy together." The girl glanced at the stairwell and said to herself.

Chapter 182 A Night of Hunger (Part 2)

Unable to stop Zhao Weijing from drinking the beverage, Xin Yu was scolded by Zhao Fei when she returned to her room. Her ears and face turned bright red, and she looked radiant.

Unexpectedly, the responsibilities that Zhao Weijing failed to fulfill when she was a child were miraculously made up for when she grew up, leaving Zhao Fei feeling like crying but having no tears.

Xin Yu comforted her gently, saying that Zhao Weijing was unaware of the situation, which finally calmed her down.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door. Xin Yu released Zhao Fei, who was struggling to breathe, and went to open the door. Standing outside was Zhao Weijing. She asked, "Do you want me to cook, or should we eat out? It's almost five o'clock."

As she spoke, she glanced curiously into the room, exchanged a look with Zhao Fei, and then both of them awkwardly looked away.

Xin Yu said, "Let's eat at home. There's still plenty of food in the fridge."

"I'll go cook." Consort Zhao stood up and quickly left the room.

As they brushed past each other, Zhao Wei sniffed, seemingly feeling something was off.

Seeing this, Xin Yu quickly said, "Wei Jing, let's go help."

"Okay." She didn't think much of it.

With the help of the three of them, dinner was ready, but Xin Yu had no appetite, so he made an excuse and said, "I'm not very hungry yet. I'll go upstairs and play some games. You guys eat first."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

Zhao Weijing found it strange that she went to play games during dinner time, as if she was avoiding something. Even if she couldn't eat, she would normally sit down and eat a few bites with him.

Consort Zhao knew the reason, but she couldn't say it outright, so she made up a story: "He must be very uncomfortable with us, so he wants to avoid us. Never mind him, let's eat first."

"But not eating is bad for his health, I'd better go and call him."

Zhao Weijing shook her head and was about to go upstairs.

Zhao Fei quickly grabbed her, her mind racing, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I want to talk to you about our matter. I asked Xin Yu to stay away."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weijing paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"Sit down first, let's eat and talk." Zhao Fei invited her to sit down and casually said, "Actually, we've talked about these things before. You have too many rivals and can't keep an eye on Xin Yu. I will help you. This is what we discussed before, and it's similar to what we're discussing now."

Originally, Consort Zhao did not want to talk about this issue and wanted to let things take their course. However, she did not want Zhao Weijing to know about Xin Yu's physical condition. She would only worry unnecessarily and would not benefit from it. In fact, she might also find out about Xin Yu's physical abnormalities.

The thought of Zhao Weijing finding out about this made Zhao Fei feel extremely ashamed, and she only wanted to keep it a secret forever.

"More or less." Zhao Weijing pouted and said, "I never expected you to sleep with him. You've endured it for so long."

"Cough cough..." Zhao Fei choked a little, her face flushed, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, it was him who took the initiative, it wasn't me who insisted on being with him..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhao Wei suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

Zhao Fei was somewhat dejected. After a moment of silence, she sighed, "I was wrong about this. I'm sorry. I did think about leaving him, but I found that I couldn't. Without him, I feel like I'm living like a walking corpse. But when I see him, I feel like I'm suddenly alive again."

Zhao Wei stared at her blankly and said, "This is the first time you've bowed your head and apologized to me. I used to hate you so much. I felt like I was just a tool you used to avoid marriage, and I secretly vowed to make you pay one day."

Zhao Fei looked at her and said, "Now that you've succeeded, are you feeling any better? I didn't know how to be a parent, and I thought children were troublesome. You've suffered all these years."

Zhao Weijing shook her head: "No, I just feel relieved. Actually, I have never tried to understand you. The pressure from your parents and your own problems have troubled you a lot, so you can only put most of your energy into your work. Under those circumstances, you also have to take care of your child. It must have been very hard. Plus, I was also very troublesome when I was a child."

As a child, Zhao Weijing was a mischievous girl. Later, because she was not valued, she deliberately made a mess of the house just to annoy people.

Zhao Fei was silent for a moment, then said, "I've never found you annoying. Since leaving my parents, I've lived alone, and the empty house sometimes scares me. But since I brought you home, every time I come back, even if I see a broken vase or a messy house, I feel at ease."

She sighed softly, "Looking back now, I really shouldn't have done that. I'm a grown adult and I'm afraid of being alone, let alone you."

Zhao Weijing was somewhat surprised: "Then why were you so mean to me back then?"

Consort Zhao replied, "Because I'm afraid you'll go astray. Destroying things is not good, and people say you can't spoil children like that; they need to be disciplined."

"I thought you hated me and regretted bringing me home."

The two looked at each other in silence, both feeling somewhat embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Weijing extended her hand to Zhao Fei: "We have never understood each other, and we have never sat down and talked properly like this before. Many misunderstandings could have been avoided, but now that we have a common connection, this kind of thing will not happen again, right?"

Faced with the girl's hopeful eyes, Consort Zhao hesitated for a moment, then blushed and placed her hand over the girl's hand, nodding vigorously: "Yes."

Xin Yu was playing a game when Zhao Weijing pushed open the door and came in. She walked behind him and put her hands on his shoulders: "Xin Yu, it's time to eat."

"I'm not very hungry yet, let me finish this game first."

Xin Yu shook his head, focusing on playing the game, but in his mind he was wondering whether he should let Zhao Weijing know about this.

When everyone is together, it's hard to keep it a secret. For example, if everyone eats together but he doesn't, after a while, everyone will know there's something wrong.

However, if Zhao Weijing were told, Zhao Fei would definitely be unwilling. Xin Yu thought about it and decided to keep it a secret for the time being and wait for the right time.

"Aren't you going to ask us what we talked about?" Zhao Weijing suddenly asked him.

Xin Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "What did you talk about?"

"Hmph, I'm not telling you."

The girl gave a haughty snort, without saying what they had talked about while lying on the ground.

Xin Yu felt a tickle in his heart. Could it be that the two of them had been honest with each other and decided to stay with him together?

Although there had been some hints of this before, Xin Yu still felt it was unlikely. It was already quite remarkable that they could tacitly accept that he was with another person.

Zhao Weijing refused to say, so Xin Yu had no choice but to keep this question in his heart and decided to find some time to ask Zhao Fei.

Remembering that he had to hide his inability to eat from Zhao Weijing, Xin Yu said, "I'm hungry. Can you play a game for me while I go down to eat?"

"Okay," Zhao Weijing readily agreed.

After leaving the room, Xin Yu noticed that Zhao Fei seemed to be making a phone call in the next room. He didn't disturb her and went downstairs.

Opening the refrigerator, Xin Yu found a bottle of beverage left from the morning. He took it out, took a sip, and frowned. It was expired and had a sour taste, making it hard to swallow.

He was surprised, yet felt it was only natural. Since it was a beverage, of course it would expire, but the shelf life was too short, less than a day, and it was stored in the refrigerator.

Speechless, Xin Yu took the drink to pour it out and returned to his room. Luckily, he and Zhao Fei had been in the room earlier and had replenished their energy, so he wasn't very hungry now.

"Huh, you finished eating so quickly?"

Zhao Weijing, who was helping him play games, was somewhat surprised to see him return so quickly.

Xin Yu nodded: "I just ate something, I wasn't very hungry to begin with, I'll eat."

Zhao Weijing moved aside to let him sit down, and stood behind him to watch him play games. At this distance, Zhao Weijing could smell a faint milky fragrance on Xin Yu.

She sniffed and asked curiously, "Did you just drink milk? Where did you buy the milk in the fridge? What brand is it? It tastes really good."

"I bought it at the supermarket, but I forgot the exact brand," Xin Yu said.

“Let’s go shopping together next time,” Zhao Weijing said enthusiastically. Xin Yu didn’t know how to respond, so he could only nod perfunctorily.

After watching him play games for a while, Zhao Weijing went to take a shower. When she came back, she told him to go take a shower as soon as possible.

When Xin Yu came back after taking a shower, neither of them played games; they sat on the bed and chatted.

Zhao Weijing blushed slightly. Being so close to him, she couldn't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts. She always did this when she was with Xin Yu, and she was even more proactive than Xin Yu.

Xin Yu could sense the girl's subtle changes. He pulled her into his arms and they both fell onto the bed. With a mischievous grin, he whispered in her ear, "It's late, we should go to sleep."

Zhao Weijing giggled and struggled, unwilling to let him succeed.
