Chapter 19 He was about to be proud again.

Mo Sui stared at the dark suitcase for a long time.

Was it Assistant Fang who was crazy, or was it Gu Yicheng who was crazy?

She resisted the urge to throw the suitcase away, and prepared to open it and take a look.

After seeing what was inside, she would know whether Assistant Fang acted on his own initiative.

[It seems that Mo Sui is not very happy that her husband has come home.]

[Although the atmosphere was quite harmonious during the meal just now, most of the time the couple was taking care of the children, picking up food for the children and so on, and they didn't seem to interact much.]

Mo Sui squatted down, laid the suitcase flat, and looked for the button to open it.

After clicking the button, the suitcase was still tightly closed, and she noticed that the combination lock had not been opened.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she selected a few numbers on the combination lock.

With a "click", the suitcase opened.

Mo Sui's hand paused.

The password was still the same as before, the days they were together.

[Who said they have a bad relationship? How could their relationship be bad if they even know the password to the suitcase! ]

[Although I couldn't see the password clearly from this angle, I felt that Mo Sui was very skilled when dialing the numbers. I guessed blindly, could the password be her birthday? ]

[Mo Sui is helping her husband pack the suitcase. How considerate and virtuous! Why are those who questioned the couple's relationship just now silent? "Pa Pa" slapped in the face. ]

The suitcase was heavy, and Mo Sui struggled to open it, and then her eyes fell on the items inside.

Several sets of shirts and suits, ironed flat, were stacked in a corner of the suitcase.

The pajamas were a set of the brand he usually wore, one in light grey and the other in dark blue.

A simple storage bag, which contained toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, shaving foam, etc.

There were also many small items.

Did they move?

Mo Sui flipped through it casually, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

She had known Assistant Fang for several years and knew him very well. This person was outstanding at work, but very careless in life.

Assistant Fang couldn't organize the suitcase so meticulously.

It was Gu Yicheng.

Was he sure that she couldn't show him a bad face in the live broadcast room, so he was getting thicker day by day?

Mo Sui slammed the suitcase back on in annoyance, turned around and threw herself on the sofa, and reopened the shot of An An's small room in the live broadcast room.

She wanted to see what Gu Yicheng was up to by pulling little Tuanzi into the house.

However, after turning on the live broadcast of the children's room, she was stunned.

Where are the people?

[Hahaha, who said Mo Sui was gracious and considerate just now? She just opened the suitcase and moved around casually, then found it troublesome and closed it again angrily. ]

[She definitely won't help to organize her husband's suitcase, no matter how handsome her husband is, Mo Sui's queen personality is still intact! ]

[Did she go to see what An An and An An's father were talking about in the room? Oh, I really want to tell her the truth. ]

The truth that the audience wanted to tell Mo Sui was that

An An and Gu Yicheng were not in the children's room at all, because the moment he entered the room, Gu Yicheng keenly noticed the cameras in every corner.

Let the whole country hear him asking An An for advice on how to coax his wife?

What a joke.

…

In An An's confused eyes, Gu Yicheng sincerely asked for a word.

He took the little girl into the master bedroom, which was not equipped with a camera.

The master bedroom was covered with a soft, light gray carpet.

An An sat down with her legs crossed, looking at Gu Yicheng blankly: "Uncle, what do you want to say to me?"

For an entire afternoon, Gu Yicheng watched most of the clips in Mo Sui and An An's live broadcast room.

Some of the highlights were marked by fans in the video titles, and he also watched a lot of the warm and daily life that was not high-profile.

At the end, he felt more and more that this little thing was really something.

She could actually handle Mo Sui.

Gu Yicheng decided to put aside his pride and learn from the young guy.

He tried to sit on the ground with his legs crossed, wanting to get close to An An.

But Gu Yicheng had long legs and he had no habit of sitting cross-legged before, so no matter how he moved, there was nowhere to put his two long legs.

In addition, although his trousers were casual, they did not have much elasticity, so for a moment, his movements were very awkward. An

An showed a regretful expression on her little face.

Uncle can't even sit cross-legged.

Looking up, feeling the sympathetic eyes of the little dumpling, Gu Yicheng's mouth froze.

He simply stood up again, pulled a stool and sat down.

After sitting down, he leaned forward slightly, his elbows on his legs, clasped his hands, and said seriously: "An An, how about we coax mom together?"

An An tilted her head and thought about it, then shook her head gently to refuse: "No, you can't."

Gu Yicheng sat up straight: "Why can't I?" "

When I came home just now, you were fierce." Little Dumpling expressed his dissatisfaction softly.

Gu Yicheng subconsciously retorted: "I wasn't."

How could he be fierce? Even when the conflict between the two was the deepest, he had never been fierce.

At most, he was just a little cold, and he and her parted unhappily.

Although he didn't admit it in his heart, his tone softened when he saw An An's serious face: "Then tell me, why am I so fierce?"

The soft little ball stood up with her little hands on the ground.

Her short legs were numb from being pressed, so she punched them with her little fists. After she recovered, she ran to Mo Sui's bedside and took a little skirt.

The bear doll decoration on the beige skirt fell off, so An An asked her mother to help sew it.

But mom doesn't know how to do it, and has been lying on the bedside, probably waiting for Aunt Wu to come before she can sew it.

"Let's start!" An An said.

Gu Yicheng looked at the child in confusion.

An An was immersed in her own world, with the little skirt draped over her white and tender arms. She took a few steps forward, bent her fingers, and tapped the wall lightly.

"Bang bang bang--"

It was not until then that Gu Yicheng realized that the child was playing house with him.

Or rather, it was a re-enactment of the scene, and the little skirt was simulating the suit on his arm when he came back.

If you ask someone for advice, you should act like you are asking someone for advice, and Gu Yicheng gritted his teeth and acted with the little girl.

He twisted the door handle in the air and pretended to open the door.

The big and the small looked at each other, and no one said a word.

Finally, An An's little head poked forward, blinking and looking at him in confusion.

Gu Yicheng suddenly realized and imitated Mo Sui's tone just now: "Why are you here?"

"Go home for dinner." An An wanted to speak in a rough voice, but accidentally, every word that came out was in a baby voice.

Gu Yicheng showed a thoughtful expression.

Is the game over?

"That's how you talked to your mother just now!" An An said dissatisfiedly.

He was puzzled: "Is there a problem with this? Isn't she also cold?"

An An said in surprise: "Uncle, is it your mother who coaxes you, or you who coaxes your mother?"

Gu Yicheng understood.

It means that the little thing protects Mo Sui, and the officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.

Although he still didn't think he was wrong, time was precious, and now that things had come to this, he had to listen to this little thing's advice.

Gu Yicheng said: "Okay, then if it were you, what would you say?"

"Mom! I'm going home to eat!" An An said in a baby voice.

Gu Yicheng looked at An An.

The child tilted his head, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing millet teeth, like a sweet and soft little marshmallow.

This child is not a very lively person, and is a little shy in front of unfamiliar people.

But it is obvious that she is teaching him seriously now.

"Have you learned it?"

Gu Yicheng fell into deep thought.

...

Mo Sui didn't know what An An and Gu Yicheng were talking about in the room.

She picked up a broom and paused as she passed her room, tilting her ear slightly. She

heard nothing. The two people inside were whispering something mysteriously.

Before, An An followed her like a little tail all day long, but now that she is not clinging anymore, she is still a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, her business team is efficient and sent her the relevant contract of GG at eight o'clock.

Mo Sui was not clear about the legal terms. The company team would definitely keep a close eye on aspects related to her own interests, but what about An An's part?

An An is very popular now, and it is not impossible for the GG dealer to impose unreasonable additional conditions on the child in some invisible terms.

Bringing little Tuanzi to shoot GG is not to cause trouble for her.

She sent the contract to her private lawyer instead.

After carefully checking the clauses in the contract, Lawyer Lin found several unclear agreement contents and marked them one by one.

Mo Sui received a reply and forwarded the lawyer's opinion back to the team mailbox. Sister

Wu contacted the legal department again and asked them to work overtime.

The colleagues in the legal department were confused.

The actress had never asked about any details of the contract before, why was she so concerned this time?

Finally, after reading the marks, they understood.

She just cared about An An's affairs.

...

An An and Gu Yicheng talked for a long time.

When helping her uncle to learn the skills to coax her mother, Xiaotuanzi was always confused. She felt that her uncle didn't seem to be very smart.

But An An is very kind. It is precisely because he is not very smart that she is more willing to teach patiently.

"If she says, get out of here, what should I say?"

"Uncle, mom is very polite, how could she ask you to get out?"

"That is, if..."

"Then just say, I won't get out."

"If she says, I annoy you the most, what should I say?"

"Uncle can say, I am the most obedient!"

Gu Yicheng cited many examples, and An An answered them one by one.

In the end, he finally understood.

It turns out that the secret to coaxing a wife is to be persistent and clingy.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

He had watched the video in the live broadcast room, and it seemed that he had never seen An An do this to Mo Sui.

How come An An can coax his mother with his personal charm, but he has to be lazy to coax his wife?

Is Xiao Dongxi trying to trick him?

An An was so dry from talking that she whispered, "Uncle, can I go out and play now?"

Gu Yicheng glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late.

It was time to go to bed.

"Okay," Gu Yicheng said, "We'll continue our classes tomorrow."

An An breathed a sigh of relief, stood up happily, and prepared to run out.

Looking at her cheerful back, Gu Yicheng began to doubt himself.

Was she so unwilling to stay with him?

He was an intern dad and should have the same status as an intern mom.

Fortunately, the next moment, An An stopped.

Gu Yicheng smiled with relief.

He knew that the child didn't dislike him.

"What's wrong?" he asked gently.

"Uncle, you still..." Her voice became soft, "You haven't said thank you yet."

Gu Yicheng: "...Thank you."

"You're welcome." The little dumpling waved her hands.

As soon as An An ran out of the room, she threw herself into her mother's arms.

Mo Sui did not push the child away.

She could clearly feel that after calling her "Mom", An An rarely showed the timid expression she had before.

The program still has fourteen days of recording time. At least in these fourteen days, Mo Sui wants An An to truly feel the warmth of home.

Gu Yicheng followed An An out.

He quickened his pace, and when he passed by Mo Sui, he seemed to have guessed that she was going to chase him away. He looked straight ahead and went to the suitcase to find pajamas.

The live broadcast has ended.

Now everything that happens at home will not be filmed.

"Gu Yicheng." Mo Sui couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want?"

Her face was sour, not at all like she was in the amusement park in the afternoon.

Gu Yicheng was sneered by her, and saw An An's blinking eyes in his peripheral vision.

Little Dumpling is going to inspect the teaching results.

"Why are you here for no reason?" She frowned.

Gu Yicheng recalled what An An said just now.

In the end, he seemed to remember nothing, only the interjections that An An taught him.

"I'm going home to sleep!"

When the words fell, Gu Yicheng himself was petrified.

Facing Mo Sui's shocked and suspicious expression, he awkwardly took out his pajamas, rubbed his high nose bridge with his hand, and said seriously: "Well - I'm going to take a shower first."

Is this really how his wife coaxes him?

Could she be led astray by An An?

Looking at her uncle's fleeing back, An An showed an approving expression.

Yes, that's it!

And Mo Sui, she turned around in disbelief and looked at Gu Yicheng's tall back.

What's wrong with her?

She rubbed her eyebrows and spoke slowly behind her.

"The live broadcast room will open on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning. The audience will be able to see the situation at home, and the secrets will be exposed as well."

"Gu Yicheng, this is not fun. If things get out of hand, you will be embarrassed as well."

Gu Yicheng's back stiffened slightly when he heard her still cold voice.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it."

...

At eight o'clock the next morning, Mo Sui was awakened by the alarm bell.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she thought of Gu Yicheng.

In order to control costs when renting an apartment in the early stage, the program team rented a small apartment with only one bedroom, a children's room, and a study room converted from a utility room.

There was no place for Gu Yicheng to live.

Maybe he had already returned to his own home last night.

Mo Sui casually picked up a silk shirt and put it over her nightgown, preparing to get up and call An An to wake up.

Perhaps because she didn't sleep well last night, she felt a little empty inside.

She opened the door, put her soft long hair behind her ears, and said as she walked: "An An, get up and go to class."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned when she opened the door of the children's room.

There was no one in the room. An An had already folded her quilt neatly, and even the small kettle hanging on the bedside was gone.

With a "beep" sound, the door opened.

An An's voice was filled with disbelief and surprise: "I really remember the password!"

She and her uncle had just gone out for a morning run. When they came back, it was still early, so her uncle didn't let her wake up her mother and said she could go downstairs for another walk.

The morning run was tiring enough, and An An didn't want to go downstairs and just wanted to go home for breakfast.

Fortunately, little Tuanzi had an idea, and recalled the password her mother taught her two days ago, and tried to enter it.

Unexpectedly, the door really opened.

Little Tuanzi couldn't help but cheer.

Gu Yicheng said: "An An can't tell the password to others. It will be very dangerous when you are alone at home with your mother."

An An nodded obediently.

The two went into the house together and saw Mo Sui looking at them in surprise.

She had long chestnut hair, with slightly curly ends that were scattered on her shoulders, looking lazy and casual. Her

suspender nightgown was covered by a shirt, revealing only a little bit of her snow-white, delicate skin on her shoulders and a pair of straight, well-proportioned calves.

"Mom! I just went for a morning run with my uncle." An An's little face was sunburned red.

"You didn't go home yesterday?" Mo Sui asked.

Gu Yicheng raised his chin towards the sofa and said proudly, "I slept there."

After a pause, he said, "You said the live broadcast room would open on time at six in the morning, and I got up at half past five."

He was fooled.

The corners of Mo Sui's mouth curled up slightly.

But suddenly, he said, "But Assistant Fang said that the live broadcast room will open at 8:30, so I can get up at 8 tomorrow."

Mo Sui: ...

So he's still staying here today?

Gu Yicheng raised his hand to look at the watch: "It's 8:10 now, do you want to change clothes first?"

Mo Sui then looked down at her clothes.

The next second, she came to her senses and walked quickly to the bedroom.

Looking at her back, Gu Yicheng's lips curled up slightly.

Victory.

At 8:29, the audience was already waiting in the live broadcast room.

[Do you think Mo Sui's husband will be home later? ]

[Didn't she say that her relationship wasn't going well? I think she went back last night.]

[Mo Sui is an actor, she's the best at acting, how hard is it for her to act in front of everyone? Some sisters found out that her husband is successful in his career, took over the family business, and the group has been listed a long time ago. She said that he went out early in the morning to work at the company, and others wouldn't suspect it.]

[That's too boring, where's the intern dad? I guess the revelation is true...] The

number of people online in the live broadcast room is much higher than before, and there are not a few people who are badmouthing Mo Sui's marriage.

One minute passed quickly, and just as Mo Sui's fans were arguing for their idol, the dark live broadcast room lit up.

What everyone saw was a warm little family.

The warm sunlight shone through the glass window into the house, and An An and Gu Yicheng sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.

Breakfast is very down-to-earth, including steamed buns with soy milk and fried dough sticks, and a bowl of millet porridge is placed in front of the children.

No child can resist the temptation of fried food. An An looked at it with greedy eyes and swallowed her saliva.

"Want to eat?" Gu Yicheng asked.

An An nodded like a chicken drumming rice.

Gu Yicheng handed the fried dough sticks to her mouth.

An An opened his mouth wide and was about to take a bite, but who knew, he moved the fried dough stick away.

"An'an, call me daddy," Gu Yicheng said.

An An picked up her little spoon again and drank the porridge.

Gu Yicheng's hands froze in mid-air.

It's just embarrassing.

[Laughing to death, it’s so hard for dad. 】

【An An is principled. She has been with her mother for so long and really likes her, so she started shouting. Now this father, it's only the second day since we met, there's no way he'll change his mind. 】

【An An's father is so funny, I thought only girls liked human cubs, I didn't expect he actually had the obsession to raise cubs. 】

【Ahhhh——Look, An An's mom is coming out! 】

Mo Sui came out of the bathroom.

The white shirt and flared jeans were not an outfit that showed off her figure, but they perfectly outlined her figure. As

she walked over, she raised her hands and casually rolled up her soft long hair, revealing her smooth and fair face, as if she had really come out of her own home.

When she sat down at the dining table, An An muttered and complained, whispering about the unfair treatment she received when she wanted to eat fried dough sticks.

Hearing this, Mo Sui glanced at Gu Yicheng, and casually took a fried dough stick and stuffed it into the little dumpling's mouth.

An An ate the crispy fried dough stick with a satisfied smile.

[When I saw An An in the first episode, I felt that the child was really pitiful. At that time, I really didn't expect that she would have a day to sit with her parents and eat breakfast. ]

[I want to cry, they really look like a family. ]

[An An smiled so sweetly and looked so happy. ]

[I hope the baby can enjoy every day in this program! ]

...

Yesterday, Mo Sui and An An went to the playground and just took a day off. The child had to go to the class today.

Even if you are a big star, you can't get special treatment.

An An has never attended any interest classes before, and entered the training classroom with a curious look on her face.

The teacher told her that she could choose to take painting classes, go classes and dance classes.

An An wanted to try everything.

However, when she saw Qiqi sitting alone next to Ruan Qingqing, she couldn't help but say to Mo Sui: "Mom, can I take classes with Qiqi?"

Qiqi was originally listless, but when she heard An An's words, she raised her head in surprise.

Under the arrangement of the teacher, the two well-behaved children went to the dance studio hand in hand.

Ruan Qingqing doesn't like An An.

This child has been in the limelight recently, and she doesn't know how many times she has been on the hot search.

However, she doesn't mind An An and Qiqi practicing dance together.

Because An An has no foundation, she will be outdone by her daughter at any moment.

What's more, the child is quiet and doesn't know how to deal with things. It is estimated that he will be like a little quail in the dance studio.

"Sui Sui, let's watch the live broadcast in the dance studio together." Ruan Qingqing said with a smile.

Mo Sui nodded and began to look at the screen in the parents' lounge.

In the dance studio, An An was watching Qi Qi's performance.

Qi Qi was dancing the dance that the teacher taught her yesterday.

The child danced very vigorously, and every move was very accurate. Her two little hands were waving, and her facial expressions were also very rich.

An An sat cross-legged on the mat and watched without blinking. Unconsciously, she also waved her little hands.

"Very good, Qi Qi remembered all the key points taught by the teacher." The gentle dance teacher smiled and rubbed her head, "Then let's continue."

The two children followed the teacher and danced together.

Obviously, An An was not as open as Qi Qi, and her two little hands were not as strong as hers.

But the audience in the live broadcast room still watched with relish.

[The program crew is so great that they even prepared a dance costume for An An. How did they come up with it in such a short time? ]

[Qi Qi is really good, but I always feel that the child is very tired, and she doesn’t look as active as when she first participated in the program. ]

[I have been following this child since Ruan Qingqing first posted Qi Qi’s video on the platform. At that time, she smiled every day, but recently, she seems not as happy as before. ]

An An and Qi Qi sat in a row.

The two little balls looked at themselves in the mirror and learned dance moves from the teacher.

An An looked clumsy and focused when he was serious. When he practiced seriously, his eyes sparkled.

"Let’s stretch the muscles again now, and then practice more difficult moves, okay?" said the dance teacher.

An An has never stretched his muscles before.

She sat on the ground, her two short legs were held together by the teacher, even her feet had to be tied tightly.

Little Tuanzi couldn't stretch out her hands, so she looked at Qiqi for help.

Qiqi has already bent down, and her little hands are trying to reach her toes.

Ruan Qingqing said with relief: "Qiqi is a child who will do her best no matter what she does."

Seeing that Mo Sui ignored her, she said again: "By the way, Sui Sui, I just heard from the director of the program group that you will take another day off tomorrow. Do you think An An is not suitable for learning these talents, so you don't let the child get in touch with them?"

"We are busy." Mo Sui said coldly.

Li Rongrong looked at Ruan Qingqing meaningfully. When

they first met, the other party was very enthusiastic and thoughtful, but later, Li Rongrong gradually felt that she had too many little thoughts.

"Why is An An not suitable for learning talents?" Li Rongrong asked.

In fact, the answer to the question has been discussed by the audience early on.

These talents, not to mention cultivating them to the utmost, the tuition fees are high just to learn them for fun.

An An will have to go back to the orphanage sooner or later. When the time comes, will she ask kindhearted people in the society to pay for her to learn dancing?

Ruan Qingqing showed an embarrassment, hesitating to speak.

Li Rongrong glanced at Ruan Qingqing lightly, then turned to ask Mo Sui, "Are you going out to play tomorrow?"

"I want to shoot a gg, and take An An to play." Mo Sui said.

"What gg?" Ruan Qingqing was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, Ruan Qingqing listened to Li Rongrong and Mo Sui talking about the gg to be shot tomorrow with a pale face.

How could it be...

"Look at these two children, what are they playing?" Suddenly, Li Rongrong smiled and pointed at the screen.

In the live broadcast room, An An and Qi Qi sat side by side.

The light pink dance costume was very tight, which made the two little balls even rounder.

An An raised her little hand and poked Qi Qi's belly.

After that, Qiqi giggled, bent over, and poked An'an's belly.

The two children stopped stretching and played with the flesh on their bellies seriously.

When they were most excited, they squeezed their chubby bellies into shapes with their little hands, and their eyes curved into crescents from laughing.

The dance teacher looked at their innocent looks and did not disturb them. He sat aside and laughed.

Barrages of comments flashed by quickly.

[Hahahaha, what's the point of practicing hard? Let's play with the belly.]

[It's been a long time since I saw Qiqi laugh so happily. Baby An'an is great. She is so heartwarming in front of everyone.]

[Wuwuwu, I want to play with An'an's belly too!]

Ruan Qingqing looked at the comments on the barrage with an expressionless face.

What can An'an do?

She can only act cute.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room just fell for it.

After the dance class ended, Ruan Qingqing didn't let Qiqi out, and asked her to continue stretching to make up for the time she had just lost.

The Huo family needs an excellent child, not an unlearned child.

An An had a lot of fun, and her soft hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead.

She didn't look tired at all, and her black and white eyes were shining.

Little Dumpling passed by Ruan Qingqing, walked out of the dance studio, and saw Sister He He and Li Li holding paintbrushes in the painting classroom, painting colorful colors.

She wanted to go in and play, and whispered to Mo Sui, who had already walked over with a cup of water: "Mom, can I go paint?"

"Going in now will disturb them, let's do it tomorrow." Mo Sui said.

"Great."

An An turned around and saw an electronic keyboard in a classroom.

In fact, the program team also arranged an electronic keyboard course. Originally, they planned to let Su He He take it, so that she could practice with Xiao Qin when she returned home, which would help enhance the "mother-daughter" relationship.

But unexpectedly, Su He He was unwilling and refused to touch the keys.

Because she heard from her grandmother that her stepmother loved playing the piano, she didn't want to learn.

"I'll go get you some more water."

The child drank up the water in the kettle in a few gulps, and Mo Sui went to fill it for her.

An An ran to the electronic keyboard with a "tick-tick-tick".

A small fleshy hand tentatively poked the keys.

The pleasant sound floated in the empty classroom.

An An blinked.

Yesterday she saw the piano at her sister He He's house, but she didn't expect that playing the piano was so much fun.

Little Tuanzi reached out again and pressed lightly.

There was another melodious piano sound.

Xiao Qin, who was passing by outside, heard the sound and stopped.

...

The course arranged by the program team started at 10 o'clock in the morning and ended at 11:40.

An An was attracted by the electronic piano and played for a long time before she was willing to leave.

Before leaving, the children received their own task cards.

The task card that Qi Qi received was "I will help my mother make up for her regrets.

" The task card that Li Li received was "I will help my parents get rid of bad habits.

" Zhou Yan's was "I will talk to my parents about my inner thoughts."

As for An An, she also got her own task card.

Little Dumpling, who couldn't read, handed the card to his mother: "Mom, what is this?"

Mo Sui took a look: ...

refused.

Ruan Qingqing smiled and said: "Oh, it says here that An An should prepare a gift for Mom and Dad respectively. The program team will take you out to choose in the afternoon."

An An's little mouth opened into an "o" shape, and her eyes were full of expectations.

She was going out shopping alone!

And Mo Sui frowned in displeasure.

What did An An's gift have to do with Gu Yicheng?

He was just an uncle at best.

If An An really chose something good for him, he would be proud again.
