Ye Qiu rode his bike to Liu Lingxiu's house, parked it, and let Liu Lingxiu get off. Just as he was about to head back to his family's porridge and noodle shop, Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing had already noticed him.
"Ye Qiu, come inside and eat with us,"
Liu Lingxiu said.
"No, I'll eat at home,"
Ye Qiu replied.
However, Liu Daqing, who came out from inside, was very enthusiastic and invited Ye Qiu to eat with them. After all, Ye Qiu was just adding another pair of chopsticks at the table.
Also, Ye Qiu had cured Liu Lingxiu's illness, and in turn, their long-standing worry.
Zhang Yuehong also came out to invite Ye Qiu inside, so he had no choice but to park his bike and go in with Liu Lingxiu.
Zhang Yuehong thought Ye Qiu was a nice young man, but she worried that her daughter getting close to him might affect her academic performance and her chances of getting into a good university.
"Lingshow, how did you do on the joint exam today?"
Zhang Yuehong asked.
