When Li Muxing saw Li Qirui coming over, she quickly got up.
"Dad, I'll be done here soon. Shall we go over together?"
"Hurry up and contact Su Meng to ask where she bought that hair clip. I need to arrange for someone to buy it right away."
Li Muxing said "oh" and then dialed Su Meng's number.
"Hello?"
The phone had just rang once when Li Muxing heard Su Mengjie answering. This was the first time the two of them had contacted each other by phone, and Li Muxing suddenly found Su Mengjie's voice on the phone to be strangely charming.
In fact, Su Meng had been watching her phone ever since she got home from school in the afternoon, afraid of missing Li Muxing's call. When she saw Li Muxing calling, Su Meng was so nervous that she could hardly hold her phone.
"Hello, Su Meng, this is Mu Xing."
When Li Muxing opened his mouth, he felt very strange. He wanted to confess his feelings directly, but his father was right next to him. Even though Li Qirui had already agreed, Li Muxing still felt unable to speak.
"Hurry up!"
Li Qirui was also anxious. He was worried that the hair clip would be hard to buy, and if he couldn't buy it back in time, the old man would definitely be very unhappy.
Li Muxing nudged Li Qirui, who was standing next to her, with some difficulty. Li Qirui then realized what was happening, smiled awkwardly, and quickly left Li Muxing's room.
"What...what are you doing?"
After Su Mengjian Li Muxing gave a brief self-introduction, she fell silent. She wanted to ask if he had agreed, but she couldn't finish the sentence and could only ask what he was doing.
Li Muxing gritted her teeth and spoke very carefully, but because she was too nervous, she spoke very quickly.
"Let's be together! Where did you buy that hair clip you were wearing today?"
Because Li Muxing spoke too fast, Su Meng didn't quite hear him clearly. She only felt that he said "together" but he was asking her more about the hair clip.
For a moment, Su Meng didn't know what Li Muxing meant. Her already tense heart became even more flustered, and she was even afraid to ask again. But she was also very unwilling to give up, so she had to ask again.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you."
"Huh? Didn't you hear me? I was just asking where you bought the hair clip you were wearing today?"
When Li Muxing spoke, she deliberately omitted the first sentence. However, after hearing Li Muxing's reply, Su Meng on the other end of the phone felt her heart sink, and even tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh, you bought it from Yintai. Why?"
The unhappiness in Su Meng's voice was quite obvious. Li Muxing hesitated for a moment before realizing what was happening and explained somewhat flusteredly:
“My sister really liked your hair clip, and my grandfather wanted to buy it for her as a gift.”
Su Meng simply hummed in agreement, indicating that she understood. Just then, Li Muxing hurriedly began to explain again.
"No...that's not it. What I meant was, let's be together!"
This time, Li Muxing spoke with great determination, and her pace became normal. Su Meng on the other end of the phone chuckled, and whether it was from laughter or feeling wronged, a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Fool!"
Just as Li Muxing was confessing her feelings to Su Meng, Li Qirui paced anxiously back and forth at the door, and couldn't help but push the door open to peek inside.
Just then, Li Muxing turned around and the father and son came face to face.
"Did you get the answer?"
Li Qirui spoke very softly, and Li Muxing nodded quickly, then covered the microphone.
"It was bought at Yintai, Dad, hurry up and send someone over!"
After saying this, Li Muxing saw that her father looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, so she asked him a question.
"What's wrong, Dad? Hurry up and send someone to buy it!"
"What do I need to buy? You need to ask Su Meng for a photo of the hair clip, and specifically which store you bought it from."
Li Muxing suddenly realized that Su Meng on the other end of the phone seemed to have overheard the conversation between Li Muxing and his son Li Qirui, and kept chuckling to herself on the other end of the line.
"Give me an address, I have two more of those hair clips here, I'll arrange for a driver to deliver them to you."
Li Muxing quickly thanked him and then sent the address of the manor to Su Meng via WeChat. Li Qirui breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Su Meng had arranged for someone to deliver the hair clip. He then gave Li Muxing a thumbs up and left Li Muxing's room happily.
Once Li Muxing was the only one left in the room, the two, who had just started dating, immediately became very affectionate.
"You big idiot, you just bullied me!"
"I was just nervous. Should we ask the teacher to arrange for us to be deskmates tomorrow?"
Li Muxing was overjoyed at the thought of seeing his girlfriend tomorrow, and even thought about becoming deskmates starting tomorrow.
While the two of them were on the phone, Xiao Yanbao and his grandfather had already strolled to the backyard garden, where the pond, which had been being cleaned, was now filled with clean water.
"Yanbao, look! Isn't this fish big?"
Xiao Yanbao tiptoed to look at the koi in the pond, where several colorful koi, each over a meter long, were swimming slowly.
Xiao Yanbao pointed to one of the red and white koi fish and cheered.
Wow! It's so beautiful!
The old man chuckled as he watched the very happy little Yanbao, then waved to the servants feeding the koi in the distance. Seeing the head of the family beckoning them over, the servants quickly ran over.
The old man pointed at the koi and made a feeding gesture. The servant quickly handed him the fish food from the bag.
"Yanbao, here you go!"
The old man reached out and grabbed a handful of fish food, handing it to Xiao Yanbao. Xiao Yanbao turned around and, seeing that he could also feed the koi, immediately became excited.
"Grandpa! This is wonderful!"
Xiao Yanbao couldn't express his feelings and praise for being allowed to feed the koi in words; he could only say, "This is wonderful," to express his joy.
The old man reached out and picked up Xiao Yanbao, then pointed to the giant, bright red koi that had just swum over and spoke.
"Yanbao, quickly feed it."
As instructed, Xiao Yanbao threw the fish food in his hand towards the koi swimming towards him. The moment the fish food hit the water, the koi seemed to smell the food, flicked their tails, and turned to swim towards Xiao Yanbao.
Seeing the other koi swimming over, Xiao Yanbao first gave the red koi a name, and then anxiously urged it to finish its fish food.
"Xiao Hong, hurry up and eat! They're coming to take it from you!"
However, this red koi seemed to be slightly smaller than the others. Before it could eat a few bites, it was pushed aside by the other koi. Xiao Yanbao angrily threw the fish food in her hand towards the red koi's location.
