Just as Qi Mei felt that the world should be destroyed, a hand reached out and seized her firmly. A clear and pleasant voice came from above her head. “Don’t move. Wait for me.”

After Song Bojian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door of the Western-style house not far away. He was tall and had long legs, and his steps were big. After a few steps, his figure disappeared into the garden.

Perhaps Yun Xiaofang also felt embarrassed, so she did not scold Qi Mei, afraid that it would become more awkward.

Song Bojian came back very quickly with a pair of black slippers in his hands. They were very big and seemed to be only for men. Even the soles were very clean. “These are my slippers, but they’re new. If you don’t mind, you can wear them back.”

“Thank you,” Qi Mei whispered. After that, she reached out to take them.

But the next second, Song Bojian bent down slightly and placed the slippers beside her feet.

Qi Mei couldn’t help but feel touched. No wonder he could achieve such great success. Look at him. He was able to keep cool in a crisis. She should learn from his calm and collected demeanor. What was the big deal to lose face in front of others?

After she put on the shoes, she said sincerely, “Thank you so much. I’ll definitely clean them when I get back and return them to you tomorrow.” She sounded too polite but also distant in order to express her gratitude, but she herself did not notice it. Even if she did, she wouldn’t feel bad about it. How could she be so passionate about someone she wasn’t familiar with?

When Song Bojian heard this, his gaze landed on her face again, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled into a smile. “Why are your shoes of bad quality every time?” he asked calmly.

In an instant, she suddenly thought of what happened at the bar that night. She was so agitated from scolding Yin Ziyuan that she lifted her foot and kicked her high heel off. It almost hit Song Bojian, but he caught it firmly in the end. And she turned around and ran away, which was very rude.

For a moment, the wind seemed to have become silent.

Qi Mei gave a little cough and pretended to remember everything. “Ah! Was it you at the bar that day? No wonder you looked so familiar. I didn’t recognize you since the bar was dimly lit. Seriously, it was too dark, hahaha..”

Song Bojian had his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and casual. After hearing her explanation, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. “Me too. I didn’t recognize you at first until I saw that your slippers were broken again. It looked quite familiar..”

Qi Mei felt that she couldn’t continue chatting. Really, otherwise, she couldn’t bear living in this neighborhood anymore. It was just too embarrassing. She was unable to remain calm in a crisis. She picked up her broken shoes and hurriedly said goodbye to him. Under Grandma Xiao’s concerned gaze, she left in a sorry state with Yun Xiaofang.

On their way back, Yun Xiaofang heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It was really embarrassing just now..”

However, when she met Qi Mei’s gaze, Yun Xiaofang quickly changed the topic. “That’s too awkward. It’s your father’s fault. The slippers he bought were cheap and of poor quality..”

Qi Mei was speechless. Yun Xiaofang had some maternal love for Qi Mei, but not that much. She did love her husband, but also not that much.

Yun Xiaofang quickly took the initiative to change the subject. “When Song Bojian saw me just now, he immediately recognized me and knew I was a teacher in high school and greeted me very politely. I didn’t expect him to be so excellent now. He still remembers his high school teacher. This child really doesn’t forget his roots at all.”

Yun Xiaofang naturally heard a lot about Song Bojian. After all, it was very proud to have such a brilliant student like Song Bojian. It was said that the principal planned to invite all those outstanding schoolmates back to the school to celebrate this year’s anniversary. However, no matter who would be invited, Song Bojian must be one of them.

Qi Mei was really tired to hear that. “You’re just excited to see someone else’s promising child again. He’s excellent, but I’m not bad either. You’re also envied by others. That’s enough.”

“So what? Are you jealous? ” Yun Xiaofang comforted her slowly, “You don’t have to be like this. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have any merit at all compared to Song Bojian.”

Qi Mei burst into laughter. She was surprised to know she had an advantage over Song Bojian. It was truly a once-in-a-century opportunity. She immediately put on an attentive expression.

Yun Xiaofang gave a little cough. “In terms of personal careers, you definitely can’t compare to him. But in terms of relationships, you’re better than him. He’s still single! He hasn’t had a girlfriend. Grandma Xiao is even more anxious than me.”
