Zhao Chengqian followed Ruanruan back to Ruanzhuang. Ruanruan taught Zhao Chengqian how to play games, and Ruan Jingye walked past them.
"Aren't you going to Bianjing today? You're back so soon."
"Everyone has already set off. It was too boring to stay in the carriage, so Ranran came back." Ranran leaned back on the sofa, pressing the remote control with both hands.
Ruan Jingye pulled his clothes and said, "Since you are so bored, then come out to eat with me."
"Uncle, did you make a fortune today?" Ruanruan put down the remote control in her hand and looked up at Ruan Jingye.
Ruan Jingye smiled and said, "Director Zheng, the documentary we're shooting has finished filming. I'd like to invite everyone to dinner, and I asked you to come along."
"If you have nothing to do with Xiaogan, why don't you all come with me?"
Ruanruan slid down from the sofa, jumped on the ground, and looked sideways at Zhao Chengqian: "Okay! Brother Xiaogan, let's go over and play?
Zhao Chengqian put down the game console and nodded, "If Ruanruan goes, I'll go too."
Ruanruan strode up to him, took his hand, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Yeah, don't be afraid, don't worry, Ruanruan will protect you."
Ruan Jingye put on his coat, took the car keys, opened the door, and said, "Let's go."
The two children got on the back seat one after the other. Ruanruan put the vase next to her legs and motioned Zhao Chengqian to fasten his seat belt.
This was not Zhao Chengqian's first time riding in a car, but he was still a little nervous facing the unknown.
The moment the car started, he held on to the armrests beside the seat tightly with both hands.
Zhao Chengqian's face was a little cold, and he looked towards the window.
Ruanruan glanced at him stealthily, reached out and patted his arm, gave him a thumbs-up, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaogan, don't be afraid, it's okay, my uncle is a great driver."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it." Ruan Jingye glanced at the two children behind him through the rearview mirror.
Zhao Chengqian nodded.
The car stopped at a place called Shiya Courtyard. If I hadn't known in advance that it was a restaurant, I would have thought it was someone's courtyard house.
Ruan Jingye brought the two children into the yard. The yard was also decorated in an ancient style, which matched the clothes worn by Ruanruan and Zhao Chengqian very well.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" A waiter in a cheongsam came over and asked with a smile.
"Yes, box 310." Ruan Jingye took out his cell phone from his suit trouser pocket, took a look at it, and said.
"Then please follow me." The waiter led Ruan Jingye inside.
Ruanruan and Zhao Chengqian were now by a small pond. There were two kinds of ornamental fish, black and red, swimming in the water.
"Let's go in and have dinner." Ruan Jingye gently lifted the soft clothes on the back of her neck with one hand.
"Oh oh oh, I get it. I'm coming." She slapped his hand away, took Zhao Chengqian's hand, stuck out her tongue at Ruan Jingye, and followed him inside.
The door of the box opened, and inside sat a large table of people. In addition to Director Zheng, the crew's producers, and others, there were also some staff members of the museum, Professor Lu from last time, and Jiang Qi and others.
Zheng Xian and the others looked towards the door, "You're here, everyone is waiting for you."
"I'm sorry I'm late." Ruan Jingye didn't expect them to come so early. He touched his head and apologized with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Everyone looked at the two little guys standing there.
Ruanruan was carrying her small schoolbag, holding Zhao Chengqian beside her, staring blankly at the large table of people.
Zheng Xian looked at Ruanruan and waved with a smile, "Ruanruan, come and sit down. Who's sitting here? Your brother? I don't remember you having a brother."
"This is Ruanruan's best friend, his name is Zhao Chengqian." Ruanruan stood in front of everyone and began to introduce.
"Not bad, not bad. This kid looks very dramatic." Zheng Xian said with a smile as he looked at Zhao Chengqian who was wearing ancient costume.
The person next to him said, "Yeah, these two kids are so cute. They must be very dramatic in a movie. They are born to be in the entertainment industry."
"Jing Ye, with two such good children, why don't you let them enter the entertainment industry earlier?"
Ruan Jingye smiled and said, "My opinion doesn't count. It requires their parents' consent. The two little guys are not interested in this line of work."
"You guys know my niece. I've taken her to the crew quite often, but it's a pity she doesn't like it."
Ruanruan and Zhao Chengqian sat down. Everyone at the table was either elderly or young people in their twenties or thirties.
There was nothing else to talk about except movies, TV series, and documentaries, and there was no common topic, so the only topic was the two children.
"The food in this restaurant is good and soft. Xiaogan, you two should eat more. Children need to eat more in order to grow taller."
Everyone stared at the two little guys while they were eating, and they were so curious that they all picked up food for them.
"This little boy has such a good temperament. He eats so properly, one bite at a time, just like an ancient royal aristocrat."
"Ruanruan is so cute!"
Ruanruan was a little uncomfortable. She looked up while biting the chicken leg, glanced at the person in front of her who was looking at her, and then chewed it a few times with her little mouth.
"Why don't you eat it? This dish is delicious."
Although Zhao Chengqian was accustomed to being served and stared at in ancient times, he still couldn't resist the gaze of these eyes.
He slowly and methodically tore the chicken leg in the bowl into pieces, ate it slowly, and then took a bite of the meat, eating slowly, his behavior revealing a sense of nobility.
"Let's eat, let's eat." Everyone came back to their senses and smiled.
Zheng Xian chuckled: "Don't worry about looking after the children, let's continue eating."
Ruan Jingye received a call and went out.
Professor Lu said, "Ruanruan, can we keep the antique you mentioned last time on display in our museum for a few more days? We're planning an event soon."
He heard that Ruan Jingye would also be coming today and planned to talk to him about this matter, but he didn't expect Ruanruan to be there too.
"Wow... sizzling..." Ruanruan said as she sucked the crab roe vermicelli with chopsticks.
"Crunch, crunch..." She bit the vermicelli hard and chewed it quickly with her bulging little mouth, with a lot of crab roe juice on her face.
Ruanruan said vaguely: "You... wait until I'm done talking."
Professor Lu took a sip of tea and stared at Ruanruan intently, "Okay, eat slowly. It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Zhao Chengqian put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and reached out to wipe Ruanruan's face.
Ruanruan leaned over again and pointed at the other side of her greasy face and lips.
Zhao Chengqian wiped her again before throwing the silk handkerchief in his hand on the table.
Professor Lu glanced at the handkerchief on the table. There was a lotus embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief. It was Suzhou embroidery, and the fabric was silk.
He stared at Zhao Chengqian again. Judging from the material of the clothes on the child, they were very similar to the ones that Ruanruan had worn before. However, he was not a teacher, so his recognition might be off.
However, the children who play with Ruanruan must come from a decent family.
