Luo Yifan bought lollipops and other candies from the candy shop across the street, which the shopkeeper said were all the kind of candies that children would like. When he returned to the restaurant, Zizai was lying on the table flipping through a fairy tale book.
Hearing the door open, she looked over in surprise, but her gaze darkened when it met Luo Yifan's.
Luo Yifan glanced around and immediately understood that the little guy had probably mistaken him for Xiao Luzi.
"Zizai, Grandpa Luo has lollipops, do you want some?"
Since they were just very ordinary snacks, Luo Yifan felt embarrassed to offer to give them to her.
The light that had just dimmed suddenly turned back on with a "ding".
With a "thump," it jumped down to the ground and ran to Luo Yifan, circling around him like a little puppy begging for a bone from its owner.
"Grandpa Luo, here's what I want!" she said, tugging at the bag in Luo Yifan's hand and peering over. "Grandpa Luo, what flavors did you buy? Zizai loves pineapple flavor the most, do you have any?"
The little guy at this moment is the real him. The little guy who refused the jade pendant earlier was Yan Xu, who was forced by Luo Yifan to become an adult.
Luo Yifan secretly rejoiced that he hadn't gone too far down a path of snobbery.
It seems that we should treat children with the same basic human compassion we use for adults, rather than the same methods we apply to children.
Only then can he/she reciprocate with sincerity. Otherwise, you will only receive a hypocritical response.
"Yes, come on, Zizai, pick one yourself."
Zizai happily picked out his favorite pineapple flavor and asked, "Grandpa Luo, do you have fruit jam lollipops? Bai Xiaolu loves those the most!"
Luo Yifan nodded quickly, "Yes, it's the blueberry flavor that Xiao Luzi likes the most."
After much effort, Zizai picked out the blueberry flavor that Xiaoluzi liked from all the different flavors of lollipops, but after thinking about it, he put it back in the candy bag.
Luo Yifan found it strange, "What's wrong? Want to try something different?"
Zizai shook his head, "No, let Bai Xiaolu choose for herself."
Luo Yifan patted his head approvingly, "Okay, let her choose for herself. Maybe she wants something different today, right?"
"kindness……"
The young master had already unwrapped the lollipop and was enjoying it immensely.
Seeing that he genuinely enjoyed it, Luo Yifan handed the bag to him, "Zizai really likes it, doesn't he? How about you pick out another one?"
A glint of light flashed in Zizai's eyes, "Really? Is it possible?"
Luo Yifan smiled and nodded, "Of course, doesn't Zizai like it?"
It turns out that winning a child's heart is not difficult at all; you just need to carefully consider their preferences.
Or rather, it doesn't matter whose favor you want, as long as you carefully consider their preferences and cater to them.
Zizai happily stretched out his chubby little hand, but halfway through, he pulled it back.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yifan asked, puzzled.
"Grandpa Luo, I only need one. Can you give it to me tomorrow?"
Luo Yifan then realized that the little guy was afraid of being scolded by his family.
"Okay, then come get it from Grandpa Luo whenever you want to eat it!"
"Um... thank you, Grandpa Luo."
As the two were talking, they saw Zhu Qianying leading Bai Xiaolu through the door.
"Bai Xiaolu, come here quickly!" The young master happily waved to Bai Xiaolu.
Bai Xiaolu ran towards him and Luo Yifan, "Hello, Grandpa Luo!"
After getting a savory lollipop from Luo Yifan, Xiao Luzi and Zizai obediently went to the side to do their homework.
In the evening, Yan Shao came over after get off work, and his family, Xiao Luzi, and Luo Yifan had dinner in a private room upstairs.
This was Luo Yifan's first time attending Chen Jing's family dinner. Although it was just an ordinary meal, it made Luo Yifan very happy.
Later, I learned that this was the "prize" from the little guy Zizai's recitation competition. I vaguely understood that Zizai was probably helping him.
Even if it's not a conscious act of helping, at the very least, it sends a friendly message to him.
Because it happened so suddenly, even Luo Yifan himself was unprepared. Upon hearing that they were going to have dinner together, he quickly went to a nearby winery and bought a bottle of fine red wine.
Unfortunately, Chen Jing had work to do afterward, so she only poured herself a small half-cup. Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, didn't touch a drop, citing poor health. Only Luo Yifan and Yan Shao savored their wine, ate their meal, and chatted.
Although this was the first time everyone had eaten together, since it wasn't intentional, everyone, adults and children alike, ate without any restraint. Xiao Luzi and Zizai continued to chat and laugh as they ate, Luo Yifan and Yan Shao ate, drank, and chatted, while Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying talked about everyday things. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Master..."
The voice of Xiao Tao, the bodyguard and waiter sent by Ke Kai, came from outside the door. Yan Shao assumed that there was a security problem nearby and was afraid of disturbing Zhu Qianying and her two children, so he quickly got up, walked over, and slipped out the door.
Xiao Tao, standing outside the door, looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
Young Master Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "What is it?"
Xiao Tao pointed downstairs, "Sir, someone's looking for you downstairs!"
Yan Shao peeked out and looked in the direction Xiao Tao was pointing. He saw a man and a woman sitting in the seat where Luo Yifan usually sat. Because he couldn't see their faces clearly, he couldn't tell who they were or even their ages.
However, judging from their clothes and appearance, the two should be quite old, and they should be people of considerable status.
Who is it?
Xiao Tao shook his head, "I don't know, they didn't say."
Young Master Yan was not afraid of them at all, and went downstairs to find out what was going on.
Before he could get close, the older man turned around, and Yan Shao was stunned for a moment when he saw him.
But he quickly recovered, strode over, extended his hand to the man, and greeted him with a smile.
"Elder Zong! It's been a long time!"
The man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, glanced down at his hand, ignored it, and then looked up and said coldly.
"Young Master Yan, that's not right!"
Yan Shao turned to look around, then turned back and said, "Elder Zong, this place is cramped and not very comfortable to sit in. Why don't we find a more comfortable place to talk slowly? If there's anything I've done wrong, Elder Zong can teach me a lesson slowly."
But the man completely ignored Yan Shao's high-sounding words, nodded his chin, and said, "This is fine! Anyway, you should know very well why my wife and I are here."
Young Master Yan understood that this was a topic that could only be discussed here.
He turned to Xiao Tao, who was standing behind him in a very alert state, and said, "Xiao Tao, bring me a chair."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced upstairs.
Xiao Tao blinked, indicating that he understood. After bringing him a chair, he went upstairs without making a sound, took out his phone, and made a call.
