After finishing the beef noodles, Ye Chen held Xia Muxi's hand and left the noodle shop under everyone's strange gazes.
"Are all primary school students nowadays so monstrous?”
"They were childhood sweethearts.”
"Betrothal is a bad habit of the old era.”
"Sour, really sour. Come, come, I'll add some vinegar for you.”
"I'm already married. What's there to be jealous about?”
“……”
The customers in the restaurant were discussing animatedly. A few meaningful gazes fell on the older youth.
The older youth felt as if these gazes were like knives stabbing into his heart, causing tons of critical damage. The delicious beef noodles tasted like wax. He put down his chopsticks and stood up to leave in a hurry.
There was still more than an hour before the exam in the afternoon. Ye Chen and Xia Muxi walked around the area.
"It looks like it's going to rain!"
Ye Chen looked up at the dark sky and said worriedly.
"Ah, really? If it's raining, how are we going to go home after school? Dad, Mom, and Uncle Ye aren't at home!”
Xia Muxi also started to worry.
Ye Chen smiled." It's fine. It might not be too heavy."”
"Rumble…"
The heavens clearly did not have the intention to cooperate with him. Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky.
"Thunder."
Xia Muxi was a little afraid of thunder. She hugged his arm nervously.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go back to the classroom!”
Ye Chen smiled and comforted her softly.
At this moment, bean-sized raindrops fell on his face.
"Oh no, it's raining. Let's go.”
Ye Chen took off his coat and covered Xia Muxi's head with it before running to school with her.
However, Xia Muxi was a little afraid that she would run slower. The rain was getting denser and denser, and it felt like it was going to rain heavily soon.
There was still an exam in the afternoon. It would be very troublesome if he got wet.
"Take your coat and protect your head. Hurry up and get on, I'll carry you.”
Jordan handed her his coat and squatted down in front of her.
Xia Muxi was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly said,""There's no need, brother. I can run.”
"Hurry up, it's going to rain heavily."
Ye Chen urged anxiously.
When Xia Muxi heard that, she could not be bothered to reject him anymore. She went forward and lay on his back.
"Hold up your coat to block the rain. I'm going to sprint.”
Ye Chen stood up with his back against her and said with a smile.
Xia Muxi had not started to grow and only weighed about twenty kilograms. Ye Chen often worked out with his father so it was not difficult for him to carry her.
"Yes, I understand."
Xia Muxi was amused and a sweet smile bloomed on her face. She lifted Ye Chen's jacket with her small hands and placed it over their heads.
"Charge!"
Ye Chen shouted and began to run at the top speed of his peers.
"Charge-hehe…"
Xia Muxi also shouted and laughed happily.
When the passersby who were also running saw this scene, they could not help but look over.
The two of them had just rushed into the teaching building when the heavy rain began to pour down like a flood.
"Phew…Good, good, safe on base.”
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you're awesome. Put me down quickly!”
Xia Muxi praised with a sweet smile.
"Good!"
Ye Chen responded and put her down. He smiled and asked,"Are you out in the rain?"
Xia Muxi shook her head." No, it's just that your jacket is wet!"”
"It's okay. Give it to me!"
Jordan took the coat and shook off the raindrops on it before putting it on.
Fortunately, the jacket was waterproof, so there was no big problem.
"Brother, you're so nice, mua~~"
Xia Muxi revealed a pair of cute dimples. She suddenly stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
This was how she often expressed her happiness and gratitude to her parents. She was still young and did not understand the meaning of kissing. She only treated Jordan as a family member like her parents.
Ye Chen touched his cheek and was stunned for a while. Then, he smiled lovingly and patted her head."Let's go back to the classroom. Don't catch a cold."
………………
The heavy rain continued.
After the exams in the afternoon, the school closed early at four o'clock. The students who did not bring umbrellas stood at the teaching building with their bags, waiting for their parents to pick them up.
Ye Chen, Xia Muxi, Zhang Rui, and Xiong Jia stood together, staring blankly at the torrential rain outside.
"Brother, what should we do? I can't go back!"
Xia Muxi said dejectedly.
"We have no choice but to wait for the rain to stop.”
Ye Chen was at his wit's end.
"My dad should be coming to pick me up. Let's go to my house to play!”
Zhang Rui invited with a smile.
"My father will drive over. I can get him to send you home.”
Xiong Jia hurriedly said.
"Let's wait and see!"
Ye Chen did not refuse. If there was no other way, he could only trouble Xiong Jia's father.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman with a familiar face walking over.
The woman was about 30 years old and had a plump figure. When she walked over with an umbrella, she had the unique gentle temperament of a Jiangnan woman.
"Why is she here?"
When the woman walked closer and Ye Chen confirmed her identity, his face immediately showed surprise.
There was no mistaking it. This woman was Cai Yuyan, who had almost become his stepmother in his previous life.
