Guan Zanli smiled and nodded, "I understand. I can wait until you finish talking about studying before we talk about other things."

Zhou Xiang felt a little sympathetic towards her. She was a child who lacked both love and companionship.

"Well, actually, we don't usually talk about studying."

"Yeah, well, I'll go to the stall with you this afternoon."

Zhou Xiang nodded. "As long as you finish your work, you can take a walk for half an hour to an hour while the baby is asleep. You don't have to be stuck in this small space all day. When the baby grows up, it will be easier."

"Yeah! Aunt Zhou also told me that I could go to the stall and play for a while."

After dinner, Zhou Xiang was upstairs accompanying the two babies when Ling Ran came running up.

Zhou Xiang walked out of the room and invited him to sit in the living room.

Ling Ran was relieved when he saw that she was indeed fine. But after hearing his father's description, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He was also angry that he was not there at the time, otherwise he would have kicked this fat woman away.

Seeing that he was just looking at her but not saying anything, Zhou Xiang asked, "What? Did you buy the ticket?"

Ling Ran nodded. "I bought it. It's dated the 30th, the day after tomorrow. I heard from my dad what happened this morning, so I came to see if you were okay."

"What could possibly happen to me? Uncle Ling saw it too."

"Do your feet hurt? Such a heavy fat woman."

Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. "Since you know she's a fat woman, then you should know she has a lot of flesh on her body! How can it hurt if you kick that flesh?"

"I'm glad you're okay. If I had known, I would have gone there in the afternoon. Otherwise, I would have kicked her away."

"Ling Ran." Zhou Xiang said in a more serious tone, "That's my business. If you kick me, then I'm no longer right. You're a member of the team, so you can't just fight casually.

You said you wanted to bring glory to your family! How could you make a mistake over such a small matter?

Ling Ran smiled broadly. Although he was scolded, he was happy. "Okay! I will work hard! I won't make mistakes easily."

Zhou Xiang had never seen anyone who was happy when being scolded, but with his evil nature, it was normal for him to be abnormal.

There was a humming sound in the room, and Zhou wanted to go in to take a look. He saw that Aunt Wang had already changed the diaper of a little kid, so she brought the baby out.

"Here, hold this."

Ling Ran quickly reached out to take it.

Zhou Xiang copied out another one.

When she came out and saw he was still holding it stiffly, she told him to relax. "Just think of it as if you were holding a cat or a dog. Didn't you hold it yesterday? My second sister said my eldest brother dared to hold it, like he was holding a puppy."

Ling Ran thought about the way he held the puppy, then looked at the little guy in his hands, and really felt a stomachache for the little guy.

As he was talking, Ling Ran felt that holding it was not so scary anymore, so he tried to shrink into the arms.

Unfortunately, the little guy didn't give face and started whining.

Aunt Wang came out and took what Ling Ran was holding. "It's time for them to eat. They can play later."

Zhou's mother also came out and took what Zhou Xiang was holding, and then the humming became louder.

"Think about it, carry him inside and I'll sit with Ling Ran for a while."

"All right!"

After finally getting the two of them to sleep, Zhou Xiang took Ling Ran downstairs. "Li Li will come find me later to eat Liangpi noodles. By the way, did you see that Liangpi stall?"

"I didn't notice." I did hear my mother say that, and I knew it was the little girl's idea.

"The housekeeper at Fatty Uncle's house had nothing to do, and I happened to want to eat Liangpi, so I taught her how to make it. Now I can eat Liangpi whenever I want."

"Well! Then I'll treat you."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay! You're a salaried employee now, so treating us to some cold noodles is no big deal, right?"

Ling Ran didn't care about the people she added automatically. The main thing was to invite her, and the number of people she brought was secondary.

Guan Zanli hid aside and prayed that the devil would leave, but unfortunately, God didn't hear her. Li Li had already arrived and the devil was still there.

Li Li ran in and saw Ling Ran, and she slammed on the brakes, "Zhou, Zhou Xiang, let's go eat some cold noodles!"

Zhou Xiang found it funny that she was still so afraid of Ling Ran. Ling Ran was no longer evil, okay? "Okay, let's go eat cold noodles. Ling Ran will treat you."

Both of them were a little scared. The devil invited me to eat cold noodles? Would cold noodles be poisonous?

"Let's go, Guan Zanli, come out quickly."

When the two Lis are together, they can only call each other by their full names.

After Guan Zanli came out reluctantly, she immediately ran to Li Li. The two of them held hands as if they were huddled together for warmth. The two holding hands felt a little braver.

"Let's go! Let's go eat some cold noodles."

After Li Li finished speaking, she pulled Guan Zanli and ran away.

Zhou Xiang felt like he was looking at two frightened rabbits. "Ling Ran, why are they afraid of you? Haven't you changed?"

Ling Ran shook his head, "I don't know."

Yes, he changed. He changed towards the little girl, but he ignored others.

Guan Zanli ran to the stall in a panic, and Aunt Guan scolded her for being unstable.

She didn't refute and pulled Li Li to sit in the corner against the wall.

When Aunt Guan saw Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang, she finally understood why her little girl was so panicked.

This kid, Ling Ran is no longer the bully he was when he was little, okay?

"Ling Ran, come and eat some cold noodles?"

Ling Ran nodded, "Yes, Aunt Guan, business is good, right?"

Aunt Guan smiled and said, "Very good, thanks to Zhou Xiang."

Ling Ran looked at the one-meter-high openwork wall that had been erected on the plot of land. A door had been left on the west side facing the street. A few small tables had been added inside, and it looked like business was booming.

These are the relocated Zhou family pavilions. However, they look very comfortable and should be a bright spot in this street.

Zhou wanted to walk into the flower wall, but saw Li Li waving her hands, so he had to sit on the west side near the door, and let Li Li hide in the southeast corner!

"Aunt Guan, four bowls first, including for Li Li and Guan Zanli."

"Okay!"

Ling Ran sat opposite Zhou Xiang with his back to Liang Li, who was obviously relieved.

Guan Zanli leaned close to Li Li's ear and asked, "Why is he following Zhou Xiang?"

Li Li turned her head to Guan Zanli's ear and said, "I found out that he likes Zhou Xiang."

"Ah?" Guan Zanli covered her mouth in time and asked Li Li in her ear, "Does Zhou want to know?"

Li Li shook her head and spoke into Guan Zanli's ear, "Zhou Xiang doesn't seem to know. I think Zhou Xiang only treats him as an ordinary childhood friend. Sometimes he's indifferent to him. He's not as close to me as he is!"

Guan Zanli stole a glance over there. "I suddenly feel a little sorry for him. He likes Zhou Xiang, but Zhou Xiang not only doesn't know about it, but also ignores him. Hmm! Thinking about it this way, he doesn't seem so scary anymore."

Li Li paused, thought about it carefully, and suddenly it became clear. That's right! She was afraid of nothing! She was Zhou Xiang's good friend.

If Ling Ran wants to pursue Zhou Xiang, shouldn't he curry favor with everyone around Zhou Xiang?

Even if I don't flatter him, he wouldn't dare to offend me, right? What's there for me to be afraid of?

"Yes, you are right. He is not scary at all, especially in front of Zhou Xiang. He is just a paper tiger. Yeah! With Zhou Xiang around, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
