Fang Lan was sobbing into the microphone when she noticed Lin Ruanruan rubbing her hands and quickly asked, "Ruanruan, are you cold?"
Lin Ruanruan quickly shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Huo Qi, who was standing next to her, placed the popcorn chicken in front of Lin Ruanruan, saying, "You haven't eaten much today, have some to fill your stomach."
Lin Ruanruan nodded quickly. Now that she heard that, she was indeed quite hungry; she had exceeded her exercise limit for the day.
Seeing that Lin Ruanruan was eating with relish, Fang Lan wanted to eat too. Just as he was about to reach out his hand, someone sat down next to him.
Fang Lan turned around and found that it was Li Qin. Li Qin smiled and said, "Little brother Fang Lan, you sing quite well."
Fang Lan shifted her position; the person was a bit too close. "Ah, I just let out a howl."
“You sing much better than me,” Li Qin leaned back on the sofa. “School’s about to start, have you gotten your phone back yet? I haven’t seen you online lately.”
"I just got it a few days ago. My family was very strict and wouldn't let me play with it before," Fang Lan replied.
“That’s great,” Li Qin said, looking at the screen in front of him. “We haven’t exchanged contact information yet. Let’s add each other so we can play games together later.”
Fang Lan pursed her lips, quickly reached out and snatched the popcorn chicken from Lin Ruanruan's hand, putting it in her mouth, which earned her an angry glare from Lin Ruanruan.
Fang Lan chuckled, her shimmering eyes particularly alluring in the dim light, then, as if only then realizing what Li Qin had said, she said, "I won't add her anymore, I'm quitting games."
Li Qin stared blankly into Fang Lan's eyes for a moment, then blinked and smiled, "We can add each other as friends even if we don't play games together. We've played so many games together, we're practically friends."
Before Fang Lan could say anything more, Fang Si plopped down between the two of them, making the sofa instantly crowded.
Li Qin looked at Fang Si, who had suddenly appeared, with a puzzled expression. Fang Si glanced at Li Qin indifferently, then picked up the microphone and gestured for Fang Lan to sing with him.
Seeing that the two were singing enthusiastically, Li Qin changed seats, thinking to himself that Fang Si's temper was really strange.
Fang Si secretly glared at Li Qin. Just now, this guy's eyes were practically popping out of Fang Lan's face. He was obviously up to no good. His younger brother was so stupid and easily fooled, so he had to keep a close eye on him.
Fang Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She had misunderstood him first. He looked like a straight man, so it was best not to get close to him.
Li Qin sat next to Li Xue'er, feeling sullen. He couldn't even talk to Fang Lan.
He originally wanted to apologize, since he had mistakenly assumed the person in the game was a girl and had even sent some ambiguous messages while exploring the game.
As a result, when he sat down next to Fang Lan, he suddenly couldn't say anything. He thought that adding her as a friend would be fine, but Fang Lan kicked him out.
Li Qin's dejected expression surprised Li Xue'er. "Brother, you can have this expression now? That's really rare."
Li Qin tossed her hair and leaned back lazily in her seat. "Mom's sending you on another blind date in a couple of days. It's strange that you have time to look at me now."
Li Xue'er snorted, "I'll just buy a plane ticket and go straight back to school. I don't believe my mom can drag me back!"
Li Qin chuckled, "You're quite clever."
"Of course." Li Xue'er wrinkled her nose. Her mother had changed a bit over the years. She seemed to really want to go back to her old circle and would try to climb the social ladder whenever she had the chance.
Li Qin knew what Li Xue'er was thinking. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. There's always a way out. Besides, you still have me. Don't worry about Mom."
The gathering didn't last very long, and of course, Li Qin still hadn't gotten Fang Lan's contact information by the time it ended.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Ao Chen shared some rather shocking news: "My mom won't let Hao Cheng go back?"
The group of people coming downstairs all looked curiously at Xuan Yuan Ao Chen, who was making a phone call.
"Okay, I understand." Xuan Yuan Ao Chen hung up the phone with a dark face.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng showed no other expression; he seemed to have anticipated this situation.
After all, his father made him kneel in the ancestral hall specifically to vent Ms. Liang's anger, and now that he has run away, Ms. Liang will definitely be very angry when she finds out.
"Haocheng, I'll book you a room later so you can rest outside for the night. We'll talk about it again tomorrow when Mom's anger has subsided." Xuan Yuan Aochen's tone was somewhat annoyed.
His mother went so far as to order her subordinates to change the passwords to all of Hao Cheng's houses outside and to suspend all of Hao Cheng's bank cards. This was going too far.
"No need, I'll go straight back," Xuan Yuanhao said calmly.
"Go back and kneel in the ancestral hall again?" Lin Ruanruan's tone was somewhat disapproving. "Why don't you come stay at my house? My house is quite big. Or you can just become my brother and not go back to the Xuanyuan family. My parents don't have a son."
Lin Ruanruan got more and more excited as she spoke, slapping her right fist against her left palm. "Oh right, didn't your mother tell you not to go back? Then I won't go back. You can be my parents' son. There's no corporal punishment or kneeling in the ancestral hall in my family. My parents spoil their children."
Huo Xian burst out laughing, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Xuan Yuan Aochen seemed to have black lines sliding down his head. Fang Lan chimed in, "That's a great idea. Or we could come to my house. If we add another son, we'll have three."
Huo Qi thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded, "Don't take it as a joke, Ruan Ruan's idea is very good."
Lin Ruanruan puffed out her chest. She said her idea was good. "That's right. It was Aunt Liang who said it herself. If Xuan Yuan Haocheng doesn't go back, isn't that because he's listening to her? If this gets out, he'll have to pick Xuan Yuan Haocheng up himself."
When the time comes, let her mother, Ms. Li Shuzhen, exaggerate the story of how Ms. Liang Yan kicked Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng out without any explanation. Before long, Liang Yan will feel too ashamed to ask him to come back.
Ms. Liang has always valued her appearance the most, and she's also a bully at home. Lin Ruanruan, who has read the article and had a God's-eye view, knows this very well.
After a long discussion, the final result was:
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng got into Lin Ruan Ruan's car with a dreamy look on his face, while Lin Ruan Ruan next to him was excitedly on the phone with her parents, sharing that she had brought a son home for them.
Xuan Yuanhaocheng covered his face helplessly. Should he introduce himself as Lin Haocheng in the future?
