Chapter 22 The Two Children Reunite
The Bian family.
Bian Ji sat in front of the grand piano, his fingers moving like the wind, creating ripples in the sea of black and white keys.
The notes that flowed from the fingertips were sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, and sometimes like a clear mountain spring, creating a pleasant resonance.
As the boy played the piano, a small, orange ball of fluff lazily strolled over.
She walked over to him, jumped onto the large piano bench in a flash, and nestled against the boy's lap, refusing to leave.
Occasionally, it would rub its head against the other person, as if looking for a comfortable pillow.
After listening to the piano music for a while, the little orange cat gradually narrowed its eyes and contentedly licked its tender little paws.
After practicing for the last time, Bian Ji stopped. The last note lingered in the air for a moment before fading into silence.
I checked the time; another day has passed.
Bian Ji casually stroked the orange fluffy ball next to her, and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Lu Yinzhao didn't come today either..."
Wen Su had told him a while ago that Lu Yinzhao's family was filming a show and might not have time to come over.
Bian Ji knew the situation perfectly well, but deep down he was secretly hoping that the other party would suddenly appear in front of him.
It's really strange; he would never think of someone like this before.
Or rather, anything unrelated to music won't hold his attention for long.
But when he was playing the piano today, there was a moment when he was distracted, something that had never happened to him before.
"Ah Ji! Dinner's ready!" Wen Su's voice came from inside the restaurant.
Wen Su loves cooking and baking; it's her hobby.
She feels a great sense of accomplishment every time she sees someone eating her food and looking happy.
Only her little ice cube, no matter how delicious the food is, even if it's something she clearly likes, will show an extremely indifferent expression on her face when she eats it.
Bian Ji got up and went to sit down in the restaurant. As soon as he sat down, the orange tabby followed him, jumped onto his lap, lay down, and buried its four little paws under its body, forming a cat pancake.
"Shushu, get down." Bian Ji stared expressionlessly at the cat-shaped pancake.
The orange dumpling remained unmoved, still squinting its eyes lazily.
Wen Su laughed: "It's quite clingy to you."
Seeing that her son was getting impatient, Wen Su took the initiative to go over and pick up the cat.
Shoo-shoo: "Meow?"
"Meow meow meow meow!!" The little orange cat was very unwilling, waving its little paws wildly in the air.
"Alright, be good, your brother wants to eat. You go back to your little bed first." Wen Su stroked Xiu Xiu's fur to soothe its emotions.
After returning the kitten to its cat room, Wen Su went back to the restaurant.
Seeing that his son was distracted, he asked in confusion, "Why aren't you eating? There are all your favorite dishes on the table today."
Bian Ji took a small bite of rice, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at Wen Su.
"Mom, can I go to Lu Yinzhao's house to see him tomorrow?"
Wen Su paused slightly, not expecting her son to be thinking about this question.
She was pleasantly surprised. She knew her son well; he had never asked her about other children before, so this was the first time.
Wen Su found it strange, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Mom has to ask your Aunt Yin Song to see if it's convenient for you to visit them tomorrow."
"Then ask me now." Bian Ji's eyes were fixed on Wen Su.
Wen Su was amused by the child. "You should eat your food first. I'll tell you the result of this matter later."
Bian Ji gripped his chopsticks tightly and poked at his bowl several times. Despite the delicious food on the table, he had little appetite.
Wen Su secretly observed her son and took a picture of his stubborn little face with her phone.
She said that on purpose, but her fingers had already been frantically typing on her phone and sending it to her best friend.

[Wen Su]: My son asked me if he could go to your house to play with Zhao Zhao tomorrow. It was the first time I had ever seen him so unable to eat.
[Wen Su]: [Covering mouth and chuckling.jpg]
[Yin Song]: Sure! Welcome, welcome!
[Yin Song]: But I went to my parents' place, I'm not home. A Yuan and the others are here, I'll tell him later.
[Yin Song]: Also, we are currently recording, and there are cameras all over the house. Would you mind appearing on camera?
[Wen Su]: I told him about your family recording a TV show. Since he asked me this question today, he must not mind.
[Yin Song]: No, I mean, Xiao Ji will be exposed to the public. Do you mind?
[Wen Su]: I don't mind! I was worried that the child would disturb A Yuan and the others during filming!
Wen Su not only didn't mind, but was also looking forward to it.
She was particularly curious about how the child interacted with others when she wasn't around, and what details she might not normally be able to observe, which could perhaps be captured on camera.
[Yin Song]: Okay, then let Xiao Ji come to our house tomorrow. Anyway, our two families are neighbors now.
[Yin Song]: [Rose.jpg]
[Wen Su]: [Flying kiss.jpg]
After Bian Ji finished his meal absentmindedly, Wen Su told him the good news.
"Your Aunt Yin said it's okay to go. Tomorrow, bring some waffles I made and say hello to them for Mom. Remember to be polite."
Bian Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded. When he turned around after leaving his seat, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Wen Su observed her son's behavior and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Little brat, pretending to be calm while secretly laughing behind your back.
Bian Ji returned to her room, thinking that when she went to visit Lu Yinzhao tomorrow, she could bring him a small gift.
After looking through the drawer for a while, he found an unopened camera box lying in the corner. He had bought it before returning to China and had never used it.
How about we bring this?
Before going to bed at night, Bian Ji put away all the things she needed to prepare, and then fell asleep contentedly.
That night, he had a dream.
A voice kept echoing in his ears during his dream.
"Brother Aji! Brother Aji! Brother Aji!"
"Brother! Brother!"
Okay, stop yelling.
Bian Ji felt it was too noisy around her, so she turned over and felt a furry thing brush against her nose, making it itchy.
This completely woke him up.
When I woke up, my face was facing a bunch of cats.
Xiuxiu had jumped onto his bed at some point and was now meowing incessantly at him.
He said, "Why is it so noisy?"
Bian Ji sat up and realized it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
He doesn't have the habit of staying in bed. As soon as he wakes up, he goes to wash up and changes his clothes before leaving his room.
"Ah Ji, you're wearing these blue overalls today."
"I've already changed my clothes."
"Your color is too dark, it's not cute."
"?"
Wen Su thought that her son could also get a few shots, so of course she wanted to dress him up nicely.
She found some new clothes that Bian Ji had never worn before, all of them were dopamine-colored children's clothes that she had bought. Bian Ji rarely wore these when going out, she just wanted to act cool. Now she finally had the chance.
Under pressure from her mother, Bian Ji obediently changed into the new clothes.
He stared speechlessly at the woman in front of him taking pictures of him from every angle.
"Have you taken enough photos? I'm going out now."
"Wait, you haven't had breakfast yet. There's toast on the table. Drink the milk too!"
Oh my god, her son is so cute today! We should have tried this a long time ago!
Bian Ji's eyebrows and eyes resemble his father's, while his nose and lips resemble his mother's. Although he is only 8 years old, he already has the makings of a handsome young man.
When he's not smiling, he's a cool boy; but when he shows even a little smile, he becomes very cute.
Bian Ji quickly chewed a slice of toast, then drank the milk in one gulp.
I drank a milk curd and found a piece of milk on my face.
Wen Su wiped his mouth and tidied his hair. "OK!"
"Son! Have fun!"
"Um."
Bian Ji carried the desserts Wen Su had prepared in one hand and the gift she had prepared in the other, and happily went out.
Turn right after leaving his villa and walk straight; it takes only a few minutes to reach the Lu family's house.
Because the Lu family is filming there, there are some staff members coming and going around the area.
Guo Hong was holding a bowl of beef noodles and slurping them down when a child walked past him without even glancing at him.
Guo Hong: "?"
"Little friend, have you gone to the wrong place?"
Bian Ji glanced at the house number, then turned to Guo Hong and said, "I didn't go to the wrong place."
Before Guo Hong could say anything more, Bian Ji raised his hand and pressed the video intercom doorbell.
The doorbell rang only three times before the door was opened from the inside.
"Xiao Ji is here?" Lu Yuan opened the door wide. "Come in quickly."
"Excuse me," Bian Ji said very politely.
"No problem, my slippers are here."
"Hmm." Bian Ji changed his shoes in the entryway and went inside.
Once Bian Ji was inside, Guo Hong squinted and leaned closer to ask, "Which brother of yours is this? You don't have any other family members you haven't told me about, do you?"
Recalling the first day he came to record the show, when Lu Yuan told him about his family members bit by bit, it took Guo Hong a long time to process it.
Even if Lu Yuan later said he had a younger brother or sister, he wouldn't find it strange anymore.
The appearance of this beautiful child today has set Guo Hong's radar on high alert again.
Could it be... that it's really what he thinks?
This smells like gossip from a celebrity family, damn sweet.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at Guo Hong. "They're just neighbors. You're overthinking it. They came to play with Zhao Zhao."
Hearing this normal answer, Guo Hong felt a little disappointed.
"Okay, you can go in now and continue recording the show." Guo Hong turned around and continued slurping his noodles.
"..."
In the living room.
When Lu Yinzhao saw Bian Ji approaching, he rode over on his personal vehicle.
"Brother Aji!"
His little tricycle was kicked up by his two short legs.
When Bian Ji heard that familiar voice, it was as if he had returned to the dream he had last night.
Lu Yinzhao had been quite bored staying at home these past few days, so he was naturally happy when a little playmate came over.
The little guy's smile never stopped as he rode his little bike around the perimeter seven or eight times.
I was so dizzy from all the walking around.
"Brother, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Do you want some waffles that my mom made?"
Lu Yinzhao had eaten breakfast and wasn't very hungry, so he said, "Let's play for a while and then eat."
"Hmm." Bian Ji placed the bag of waffles on the coffee table.
With her other hand, she handed over the gift she had prepared, saying, "This is for you."
Lu Yinzhao, unaware of what was inside, eagerly accepted the gift.
"Brother Aji, may I open it and take a look?"
“Okay.” Bian Ji nodded, then added, “I’ll open it for you.”

Author's Note: Zhao Zhao: Brother Aji! Brother Aji! [Laughs]
Bian Shao's expression: So noisy and chattering. (Cool) [Eye roll]
Bian Shao's inner thoughts: There's just no way to deal with him. (Secretly pleased) [Sunglasses]
