Chapter 612: Chapter 487: You Should Have a Proper Understanding of Our Little Brother’s Charm

"Sister Andy found a lot of materials for me," Xie Yizun said, feeling a bit bitter inside but pretending to be cheerful on the surface. "I think they’re all great. I also asked Assistant Jin to help me tell her to find some more for me."

"Not bad," Shi Wangyue said, seeing through it but not revealing it.

Evening, future time.

Shi Wangyue hadn’t returned home yet.

Ning Youguang was having a video call with Xia Youqing.

In the camera, Grandma Xie was constantly packing things into a big cardboard box behind her.

Noticing Ning Youguang’s attention on Grandma Xie,

Xia Youqing explained, "Grandma heard that Yiyi is in a training camp, and the food is all uniformly prepared by nutritionists hired by the show, mostly boiled vegetables and salads every day. She got anxious and insisted on sending some food over to him, fearing that your brother is too skinny and might not withstand the intense training every day."

"Yiyi is indeed thin, and it’s the time for growth, so there’s really no need for him to eat like that."

"I also think Yiyi doesn’t need to eat so blandly, so I arranged for nutritional supplements for him. But Grandma thinks that just supplements aren’t enough; she wants to send some of his favorite dishes too. I’m heading to Beijing tomorrow, so she’s packing overnight."

Though Grandma Xie was busy packing, her ears were sharp. Listening to Xia Youqing and Ning Youguang talking about her and her dear grandson, she moved closer to the camera with a bottle of pickles, "You, are you busy working in Beijing?"

"This year is fine," Ning Youguang replied with a smile. "I’m busy with lab and school matters."

"That’s busy enough," Grandma Xie said with deep concern in her eyes. "The work you do is for the benefit of the children. Grandma can’t ask you to do less, but remember, work is work, and you must take good care of yourself."

"Okay, Grandma, I know," Ning Youguang smiled with eyes curved, voice soft. "You should also take good care of yourself at home. Remember to take the pills I sent you last time on time."

"I’ve been taking them," Grandma Xie said with a cheerful smile. "Every day on time, and I feel much better than before. I go for a walk in the park outside every morning and evening."

"That’s wonderful," Ning Youguang praised. "Grandma, if you keep living with such a routine every day, you’ll definitely stay energetic."

"Of course, I must take good care of my health and not cause trouble for the kids."

They then talked about the elderly’s health, diet, and wellness.

After that, Grandma Xie made a request to Ning Youguang, "You, since you’re near Yiyi in Beijing, if you have time, please go see our Yiyi. Give him more encouragement. He’s competing now and really needs the support of his family."

"Don’t worry, Grandma. I will often go to see him; I also frequently message him on WeChat," Ning Youguang patiently assured. "Wangyue took Yiyi out for a feast this afternoon, and they haven’t come back yet."

Coincidentally, as she finished her sentence, the living room door was pushed open from outside.

Ning Youguang immediately stood up and walked towards Shi Wangyue, who was entering, saying to Grandma Xie in the camera, "Wangyue is back."

"Ah, Wangyue is back, did you eat?" Grandma Xie said joyfully at the sight of Shi Wangyue.

"Yes, we ate," Shi Wangyue went up to the camera to greet Grandma Xie, "We had Cantonese food with Yiyi tonight."

"Cantonese food is great, Cantonese food is great," Grandma Xie said with great comfort as she watched the two good-looking faces fill up the screen. "You and Little Wang are both such good kids. With you helping to watch over Yiyi, Grandma isn’t worried anymore."

Grandma Xie was a wise old lady. She very much approved of Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang, and she was happy to see Xie Yizun being close to them.

"I just made these pickles, they are really good. I’ll send some to you tomorrow, okay? And beef jerky, I’ll make some tomorrow and send them to you too."

"Wow, Grandma, you know how to make beef jerky too?" Grandma Xie was good at making pickles and often sent boxes of them to Ning Youguang.

Every time Ning Youguang received them, she kept some for herself and shared the rest with her colleagues and seniors and juniors in the lab.

Even teachers liked Grandma Xie’s pickles.

"Yes," Grandma Xie said with a satisfied smile. "I use an air fryer to make them, I learned it on Douyin, it’s spicy and flavorful, really delicious."

"Wow! Amazing," Ning Youguang exclaimed, showering Grandma Xie with praise.

After she was done talking with Grandma Xie and Xia Youqing,

Shi Wangyue had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, damp and with wet hair.

"Tired?" Ning Youguang asked softly, "Let me dry your hair."

She was about to put down her phone when she noticed a text message on it:

"[China Construction Bank] Account ending in 8631 transferred 500,000.0 yuan to your account ending in 4144 on July 14, 20:08. Transaction balance..."

She stared blankly at Shi Wangyue, "An unknown account transferred money to me."

"How much?" Shi Wangyue asked, wiping his hair as he leaned closer to her.

Ning Youguang handed her phone to him, "Here, take a look."

"It should be Uncle Xie," Shi Wangyue said after looking, "You should confirm with him."

"Why would Uncle Xie transfer money to me?" Ning Youguang asked curiously, as she sent a WeChat message to Xie Baosheng.

As a stepfather, Xie Baosheng was good to Ning Youguang,

But his way of being nice was usually by giving jewelry, houses, cars, rather than directly giving money like her dad and brother.

"For Yiyi’s English tutor fee," Shi Wangyue explained.

"Did you find a tutor for Yiyi?" Ning Youguang asked in surprise, "Which institution?"

"Not from an institution," Shi Wangyue said. "She is an employee of our company, a careful-working girl. Fudan undergraduate, Yale master’s, and has experience as a private foreign tutor. She can definitely teach Yiyi well."

"How come it’s your company’s employee?!" Ning Youguang was stunned.

When Shi Wangyue took the initiative to help find an English tutor for Xie Yizun, she never expected it to be solved this way.

"Isn’t it easy to find someone in our company who can teach Yiyi English?" Shi Wangyue placed the towel used to wipe his hair on the back of a chair.

"The problem is, they’re usually so busy, why would they want to tutor a middle school student like Yiyi?"

All the employees at Starlight are financial elites, earning a lot and no need to take on such a side job.

The slightly compulsive and germophobic Ning Youguang immediately picked up the towel from the back of the chair, pulling Shi Wangyue’s still damp hand with it, "Go dry your hair."

"Darling, you should have a proper understanding of our brother’s charm," Shi Wangyue said, turning his head with a smile in his eyes, "As soon as Assistant Jin spread the word, many talented people in our company lined up to teach him."
