Who kisses both cheeks at the same time?
I've never seen the White Dew Festival on TV or in real life, except for the cheek-kissing custom abroad.
But that was just a formality, and had absolutely nothing to do with romantic feelings between men and women.
I don't know why the child kept staring at her.
It's like she won't let her sleep unless she kisses him.
"Fix it quickly!"
The child indeed went crazy, pointing straight at his own face, demanding that Bailu make amends for fairness.
Bai Lu's lips twitched slightly: "Let's do it another day."
He refused: "Right now!"
Bai Lu regretted staring at him earlier; she wanted to admire the wise and powerful leader.
She's not a child who's being unreasonable.
It's fine if the kid doesn't speak, but once he opens his mouth, he ruins the image of a big shot. He wants everything except his life.
"hurry up!"
To urge her to hurry up, he even stopped using a fan, determined to make it fair even if it was hot.
Bai Lu could only silently reach out, cup the boss's face, and quickly kiss his left cheek.
However, the face that she should have held still suddenly turned its head a second before her kiss landed.
Unsurprisingly, their lips met, softly covering each other, warm breaths filling the air between them.
Bai Lu suspected he was doing it on purpose, so she stepped back and pinched his arm: "Did you do this on purpose?"
The child readily admitted, "Yes."
Bai Lu: "..."
The child has gone bad.
Where did you learn that?
"television."
Xiao Cheng picked up the palm-leaf fan again, put his arm around Bai Lu's waist, and fanned her with satisfaction.
Bai Lu was both annoyed and amused: "What you see on TV isn't necessarily all true."
"What's wrong?" he asked earnestly.
His tone was nonchalant, as if he didn't take television seriously at all, yet he did take the content on television very seriously.
Children often learn bad habits instead of good ones.
Bai Lu didn't want to answer anymore. Even if she did, the child wouldn't understand, and even if he did, he wouldn't do it out of genuine feeling. So she decided to let him have his way this time.
It's just once anyway.
Who told him to be Xiao Cheng? The drunken, brainless child is also a part of Xiao Cheng's inner self. Although it's a bit like a split personality, at least this side of him is also very good to her.
Ignore the occasional quirky suggestions.
“Lulu kissed me, but I didn’t kiss Lulu. That’s not fair. Lulu needs fairness.”
Bai Lu was utterly dumbfounded by the child's righteous yet mindless remark.
"Thank you, but I don't need fairness."
There is a need that children feel you need: "Lulu needs to be fair."
"No, I want to sleep."
Bai Lu closed her eyes, looking so sleepy she could fall asleep any minute, ignoring the menacing dragon lying beside her, whose gaze made her scalp tingle.
Go to sleep, go to sleep.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...
"Lulu."
I was kissed on my right cheek.
Bai Lu subconsciously opened her eyes, but her eyelids were only slightly open when she was interrupted by the sudden sound of a pendulum.
"Clang—clang—clang—"
Three o'clock in the morning.
Bai Lu had barely opened her eyes when she quickly closed them again. It was three o'clock. If she didn't go to sleep soon, she wouldn't be able to do anything tomorrow. She would be dozing off all day long and accomplish nothing.
Moreover, staying up late will worsen her skin, and she doesn't want to wake up early in the morning to have her boss see her with panda eyes.
To prevent the child from causing further mischief, Bailu could only close her eyes and coax her to sleep: "Didn't you say you were going to build a big house tomorrow? Go to sleep now, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow to build me a big house, and I'll be angry..."
Whether they're actually going to build a house tomorrow or just talking, let's brainwash them first.
The child was indeed brainwashed after hearing this, quickly kissed Bai Lu's left cheek, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
The fully automatic hand didn't forget to fan Bailu, gently waving the palm-leaf fan again and again.
Bai Lu: "..."
Forget it, don't argue with a child.
Just pretend the big shot kissed her cheeks.
The summer breeze gently blows through the rose bushes by the river, carrying wisps of fragrance that drift towards the windowsill, circulating through the warm room and adding a perfect touch to this cozy night.
The next morning.
As dawn broke, Bai Lu woke up to find herself alone. The electric fan beside her was on its lowest setting, and she was covered with a thin blanket, neither too hot nor too cold.
You won't catch a cold.
Bai Lu got up, folded the thin blanket neatly, turned off the fan, and went to the mirror on the table by the window to comb her hair.
Before she could even finish combing, she touched her forehead; it felt a little cool there this morning.
Xiao Wei was watering the ginger and scallions in the broken vat in the yard when he saw Bai Lu stretching out. He waved and greeted her, "Good morning, sister-in-law. My brother bought wontons and is in the kitchen. He went to the appliance store in the city to ask him for help."
Bai Lu responded softly, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for my sister-in-law to eat together. I just got up not long ago, and when I went out I saw my brother coming back with wontons. He finished giving instructions and then went out."
Xiao Wei used a small bamboo spoon to water the plants. After watering the ginger and scallions, he watered the chili pepper plants, which were planted during the White Dew season.
In the two months before, Bailu often made boiled fish and sauerkraut fish, and pulled out all the ginger and scallions from a whole jar.
Not long after the space became available, Bailu bought three chili seedlings from the street and planted them all in a jar, saying that chilies grown by herself taste better and are spicier.
The chili pepper plant is already bearing peppers, with the tips pointing to the sky. They're not ripe yet, but Xiao Wei can already smell the spiciness.
It's not just spicy, it's incredibly spicy, it could probably kill someone. Xiao Wei recalled the first time Bai Lu made spicy chicken.
My lips have started to swell and feel numb. I desperately hope that my brother won't make my sister-in-law angry anymore.
Otherwise, this chili pepper...
"Xiao Wei, come and have breakfast." Bai Lu had finished washing up and was distributing chopsticks at the table.
Xiao Wei loosened the small bamboo watering spoon and ran over to have breakfast with Bai Lu.
After breakfast, Xiao Wei did his summer homework, while Bai Lu used a small abacus to calculate her income during this period.
She's about to go to university.
All the expenses have been saved up, so there's nothing to worry about.
The gift that Yang Qingsong brought that day included scholarships awarded by the school, Pingcheng, and Xinzhen respectively.
Bai Lu's current net worth is quite substantial, much better than when she first arrived and was burdened with debt.
Even doing the math can make me laugh out loud.
The next second, the door was knocked on, interrupting the conversation.
Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao all had the same worried expression on their faces, a rare occurrence.
"Sister-in-law, the teaching class is about to be cut off."
Xiao Dazhuang was the most honest, not hiding anything at all: "The teaching location was arranged yesterday, and the students had all registered in advance. We were supposed to go there this morning to collect tuition and start teaching, but when I arrived at the agreed location, there was no one there. I waited for a long time."
"More than two hours later, a family member of a student who had registered in advance secretly came to me and said that they were not going to study anymore. When I pressed them for the reason, the family member wouldn't say. I kept pressing them until I got to their home, and then they said that it wasn't that they didn't want to study, but that they were afraid to study and couldn't study anymore."
Luo Shiliu and Wang Hao are in the same situation.
"There must be someone putting pressure on us from behind."
