Lin Ruanruan and Huo Xian sat together on the large swing on the back terrace of Li Ji's restaurant, watching Huo Qi communicate with the store manager about the arrangements for the day.
Lin Ruanruan leaned back on the swing chair and said, "Brother Huo is so amazing. He seems to be able to chat with anyone."
Huo Xian leaned against Lin Ruanruan and smiled as she looked at her, saying, "Ruanruan is also very talented. The videos she makes are very interesting, and she's also very good at playing games."
Lin Ruanruan felt embarrassed by Huo Xian's praise. She covered her face with her hands, feeling that these were just survival skills from her past life.
Huo Xian opened her phone, intending to send a message to Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng to ask where he was, but a browser recommendation popped up as soon as she opened her phone.
Normally, Huo Xian would just swipe away from these traffic recommendations, but not today.
After seeing the title, she immediately clicked on the link. "Ruanruan, this 'Winter Talent Show' is going to be broadcast live in a few days!"
Lin Ruanruan immediately removed her hand from her face. "Hmm? Let me see."
She leaned over and looked at the webpage with Huo Xian. "This looks like a staff introduction, introducing all the guests who are participating this time."
Huo Xian nodded, her hand following the movement. "I remember you said that the beauty blogger you're close to is also in here?"
“Yes, look, this is her.” Lin Ruanruan pointed to the poster on the screen. “Beauty blogger Li Xueer is her.”
"Her online name on Douyin is Ruixue, and she has over 10 million followers."
Huo Xian exclaimed in surprise, "She's really beautiful."
"Right, right? I think she's really pretty too," Lin Ruanruan said happily.
"She is indeed very beautiful, with a memorable appearance." A clear male voice sounded from behind the two of them.
Lin Ruanruan and Huo Xian were startled and turned around at the same time. Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up when she saw who it was, "Brother Fang Si!"
Fang Si smiled and nodded, looking up from Huo Xian's phone screen. He looked at Huo Xian and said, "This must be Huo Xian, right? You can call me Brother Fang Si, just like Ruan Ruan does."
Huo Xian quickly said, "Hello, Brother Fang Si."
Fang Si simply greeted the two girls and then went to the tea room to talk to Huo Qi.
Fang Lan followed behind her brother, yawning incessantly. As soon as he arrived, he sat down on a stone bench not far from Lin Ruanruan and the others. "Let me tell you, my brother is no human being. He woke me up very early this morning."
"It was still early, but they insisted I get up and leave early. My brother has a strong grip, so he dragged me to the ground. My butt still hurts..."
Huo Xian was somewhat incredulous. "I thought Fang Si was a very gentle and polite person. How could he be so rude?"
Lin Ruanruan said seriously from the side, "Brother Fang Si is indeed very gentle and polite, and he is also very particular about tea ceremony, but Fang Lan is a jerk."
She brought up the time she went to Fang Si's place and Fang Lan broke Fang Si's golden melon tea into pieces. It was originally meant to be a gift from Fang Si's brother, but Fang Lan ruined it.
That day, Lin Ruanruan heard Fang Sige's screams coming from the kitchen with her own ears.
Huo Xian's mouth formed an "O" shape. "Is that tea that expensive? No, and then Fang Lan just broke it in half?"
She gave Fang Lan a complicated look, "It's a good thing you're not my brother's brother."
Otherwise, he might have been crippled by her brother. According to Ms. Yan, her brother had been learning martial arts from a master since he was a child and was extremely skilled.
Fang Lan was somewhat unconvinced, "I don't care about tea or anything like that, it's just that he doesn't put his things in properly."
Lin Ruanruan covered her mouth and chuckled. As expected of Fang Lan, she never looked for the cause within herself. Whether it was playing games or messing up her brother's game.
That's good; people like that are the least likely to cause internal conflict.
When Xuan Yuan Aochen brought Xuan Yuan Haocheng, Fang Si and Huo Qi had already been chatting for a while. He then handed Xuan Yuan Haocheng over to Lin Ruanruan and Huo Xian.
"My two younger sisters, please take care of Haocheng. He's an introverted boy who doesn't like to talk much."
He glanced at Lin Ruanruan. Last time, he saw this girl face a barrage of slander from online trolls alone, remaining calm and composed, and speaking eloquently and forcefully.
He patted Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng on the shoulder, "Learn more about the art of speaking from Ruan Ruan."
After saying that, he went to find Huo Qi and Fang Si.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, Lin Ruan Ruan, and Huo Xian were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, Fang Lan, who was squatting to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and burst out, "Hahahaha..."
He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could barely breathe. "I don't know if Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng is introverted or not, but he certainly doesn't like to talk."
"No, why would the eldest brother of the Xuanyuan family ask Xuanyuan Haocheng to learn the art of speaking from Ruan Ruan?"
Fang Lan's smile was almost stiff. "What art of speaking? Hahahaha..."
Lin Ruanruan is the most introverted of them all, okay? A genuine social phobia.
Lin Ruanruan glared at Fang Lan, embarrassed and angry. It was obvious to anyone that it was because of that live broadcast before.
"Fang Lan, if you laugh again, I won't play games with you anymore!"
Fang Lan quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her tone irritating, "I don't want to laugh, but my mouth has its own ideas."
Lin Ruanruan immediately got up and chased after Fang Lan to teach him a lesson, but Fang Lan screamed and ran away.
Huo Xian looked speechlessly at the two who were acting like kindergarten children, "So childish."
Seeing that Lin Ruanruan had run away, Xuanyuan Haocheng sat down next to Huo Xian. He had been secretly eyeing this spot for a long time since he arrived.
Huo Xian glanced at Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, who had sat down, and looked around at the swings and stone stools, which were empty.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous for some reason, and because his legs were so long, he landed directly on the ground from the swing.
Huo Xian's eyes darted around, her cheeks burning uncontrollably. "Um, Hao Cheng, why don't you sit back a bit? Your feet are touching the ground and you can't swing anymore."
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng was a little embarrassed. "Xian Xian, I've already sat in the back."
Huo Xian then turned to look closely at Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng's sitting posture, and indeed Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng had already sat at the very back.
Huo Xian looked at Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng's long legs, then at her own legs which were still quite a distance from the ground, and couldn't help but glare angrily at Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng. So what if you have long legs!
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng looked puzzled. He felt that Xian Xian had glared at him just now.
Lin Ruanruan stopped chasing Fang Lan; this person's stamina was too good, she couldn't catch up at all. She originally wanted to go back to the swing and sit down.
As a result, through the bushes, he saw that his spot had been occupied by Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng.
A cool, aloof girl in a black trench coat and a dark green scarf sat together on a swing with a cool, indifferent boy. The bleak winter wind embraced a few fallen leaves and danced around them.
The scene was so beautiful that Lin Ruanruan used the mirrorless camera hanging around her neck to take her first photo of the day.
Lin Ruanruan smiled with her eyes crinkling; perhaps her photos will come in very handy in a few years?
