Ruan Xi quickly took a shower and changed her clothes. She looked in the mirror and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face. She was a little dazed for a moment.
The original owner's appearance and height were almost identical to Ruan Xi's, except that his hair was slightly longer, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat covered, giving him a hint of gloom.
"This hairstyle needs to be changed." Although Ruan Xi is not a sunny boy, he also doesn't like gloomy temperament. He found a pair of scissors in the room and trimmed his bangs shorter in a few strokes. When he looked at the person in the mirror again, he found that he looked much better.
Ruan Xi's hairdressing skills were acquired when he was young. His grandmother did not like to go out and did not like to grow long hair. As far as he could remember, his grandmother always had neat and short hair. When he was young, he watched his grandmother cut her hair herself. When he was a little older, he learned to do it. Now he has become very proficient in this skill.
"Grandma... don't worry, I will live well." This was the promise he made to his grandmother before she died, and this time, he would never break his promise.
Ruan Xi smiled faintly at herself in the mirror. Her originally cold and even indifferent face now showed a hint of charm, and her not-so-obvious peach blossom eyes were filled with a hint of watery light.
Okay, he is still like this. So since his last life, he has tried not to smile in front of outsiders as it would damage his image.
Ruan Xi sighed silently, without further delay, put on his clothes, and quickly went downstairs.
Except for him, the whole family had already sat down in the restaurant. The only empty seat was to the left of the old lady. In the original owner's memory, this was not his seat, so it could only be reserved for him by someone.
Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, the old lady waved at him and said, "Xiao Xi, come and sit next to grandma."
"Yes, Grandma."
Ruan Xi sat down next to the old lady, letting her pat his hands lovingly. He even took the initiative to pick up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks and said, "Grandma, please eat it while it's hot."
The food in the interstellar age was very different from the space he used to live in, but it was food after all, so Ruan Xi was not afraid at all. After taking a few bites, he had a basic idea in his mind that it was nothing more than the same.
Ruan Xi treated his grandmother just as he had in his previous life, with considerate care. He used serving chopsticks to put the dishes that he thought were delicious and good for the elderly into the small plate in front of the old lady.
"Grandma, don't be picky eaters. Eat a variety of dishes so that your nutrition is balanced."
"Grandma, this pepper is not spicy. Please try it."
"Grandma, you don't have to rush to drink the soup. It will affect your digestion. It's more appropriate to drink it after a proper nap or at three o'clock as a snack."
Ruan Xi called "Grandma" left and right, calling her in a familiar and considerate manner, but not too affectionate. He knew the right measure, but it confused everyone else, and even the old lady was a little slow to react.
"Oh my, Xiaoxi has suddenly become so considerate. I'm a little bit not used to it. She said so many things and it sounds like that..." The aunt's voice was soft and thin. At first glance, she sounded gentle and considerate, a perfect good woman. However, Ruan Xi knew very well in her heart that this woman was very good at hiding a knife in her soft cotton clothes. The words were full of ridicule towards Ruan Xi.
"Well, after going through a life-and-death crisis, it feels like I have gained some enlightenment." Ruan Xi still did not stop taking care of the old lady's meal. He just glanced at Ruan Jun inadvertently. Ruan Jun felt that his brother suddenly became a little different. His heart was beating fast and he was secretly looking at Ruan Xi. When Ruan Xi turned his gaze, the two brothers' eyes met. Ruan Jun choked on the food and suddenly started coughing violently.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Oh, how did you choke suddenly? Drink some water quickly..." Miao Shulan patted her younger son's back with concern. Her eyes and heart were all about her younger son. As for the life-and-death situation her eldest son had just experienced, it was as if it had nothing to do with her at all.
The old lady frowned slightly. After a few words of concern for Ruan Jun, she said to Miao Shulan, "As a mother, you should treat your children equally. You pay too little attention to Xiaoxi."
This was Miao Shulan's old problem. The old lady had reminded her of it in the past and often took care of Ruan Xi. However, the original owner's temperament was indeed a little too weird. To put it bluntly, she was just stubborn. The old lady had to take care of a whole family and was in poor health, so she was a little helpless.
"Mother, Xiaojun is younger, so I naturally have to pay more attention to him. Xiaoxi has grown up and can take care of herself..." Miao Shulan retorted as usual. Anyway, she just didn't want to pay attention to Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi sneered inwardly and slowly said, "So, the younger brother can plot to kill his older brother? Well, I've learned my lesson from my mother's educational philosophy."
