It was just after 7 PM and the sky had just darkened. Ye Xiaofei spoke up, "Xiaoyu, let's go back to our room."
Ning Xiaoyu froze. She hadn't expected Ye Xiaofei to say in front of her mother that they would go back to their room. Her face turned red instantly, reaching her ears.
Auntie Ning smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead. I'm fine by myself. I can watch TV dramas."
But Ning Xiaoyu remained seated, unable to bring herself to go to the room with Ye Xiaofei.
Auntie Ning nudged Ning Xiaoyu and said, "It's so hot today. Your clothes must be smelly after wearing them all day. Go and wash them for Xiaofei."
"Ah! Okay." Ning Xiaoyu seized this opportunity and quickly stood up, hurrying into her room.
Ye Xiaofei grinned at Auntie Ning and followed her inside.
As soon as the door closed, Ning Xiaoyu stomped her foot and pouted, feeling angry. She said, "Xiaofei, why didn't you explain to my mom?"
