Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the rain fell like a curtain, and the rain swept onto the transparent glass, slowly sliding down in ripples. Another strong wind blew by, and the branches of the poplar trees trembled. A few leaves fell down and stuck to the ground wet with water.
It has been raining for seven or eight days since Ruan Zhigao was buried.
I don’t know if it stopped in the middle, Ruan Xi felt as if it never stopped, and the whole world was always wet.
She stood by the window with an expressionless face, staring at the rain curtain and poplar trees outside in a daze.
Then a knock on the door brought her back to her senses.
After saying "Come in", Ruan Xi turned around and sat down at his desk.
The assistant girl opened the door and came in, walked to the desk and said, "Mr. Ruan, all the clothes for this year's Fashion Expo have been made. Would you like to take a look now?"
Their company participates in the Fashion Expo, not only in the name of Ruan Xi as an individual designer, but also in the name of Rose Pavilion and Shengfang as brands. Every spring and autumn Fashion Expo is also the time when brands release new products, and she needs to supervise them.
Ruan Xi stood up and walked out, "Let's go take a look."
She and her company’s brands win many awards at every Fashion Expo, which is not uncommon. However, she does not take it perfunctorily or lightly, and treats it seriously every year as a new product launch exhibition for the brand.
Recently, the Fashion Designers Association is also planning to hold an event to select the top ten fashion designers. The domestic fashion design industry has been developing more and more well-established, and has entered an era where fame is truly determined by design.
After finishing the Fashion Expo, it was time for school to start in the fall.
Ruan Xi and Ling Yao got up in the morning, washed up, changed their clothes, put on makeup and went downstairs. Lele and Coco had already finished washing up under the care of the nanny, Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun, and sat down in the dining room and picked up their forks to eat.
There are not so many rules at home, and even the nanny is treated as a family member. Ruan Xi and Ling Yao sit down at the dining table and eat together. After dinner, they take Lele and Coco out and send them to kindergarten.
Because Ruan Xi and Ling Yao are usually busy with work, and Lele and Keke are really young and need to be picked up by adults to go to school, Zhou Xueyun and Ling Zhiyuan followed them and asked, "Aren't you busy? How about we take them there?"
Ruan Xi turned around and smiled and said, "Today is the first day of school, let's send her off."
Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun usually pick up and drop off the kids to school most of the time. Of course, they will drive there personally when they are free, but on special days like the start and end of school, they will take time out to personally take the two kids to school.
No matter what, there should still be a sense of ritual in life. If there are any parent-child activities in school, the two will basically make time to participate, so that the two children will not be left alone in school without their parents.
In this case, Zhou Xueyun and Ling Zhiyuan didn't say anything more and asked Ruan Xi and Ling Yao to drive the two children to school.
Ruan Xi and Ling Yao drove Lele and Keke to the kindergarten, watched them walk into the school gate side by side, and waved goodbye to them with a smile. Every time they come in, brother Lele holds his sister Coco’s hand, and the two little figures look so cute when they walk.
Ruan Xi watched them walk into the teaching building and said with a smile, "Now my sister doesn't cry when she goes to school anymore."
I still remember when the two kids first went to kindergarten, my younger sister Coco would cry loudly at the door when she went to kindergarten in the morning, and then my older brother Lele would coax her and lead her in every time.
Ling Yao continued, "It's so fast, it's already the senior class in a blink of an eye."
The background has grown from two small ones to something bigger, and will get bigger in the future.
This kind of people are just chasing one generation after another.
In the past, Ruan Xi didn’t have much feeling about the passage of time, but since Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua left, Ruan Xi always felt that the days were passing faster and faster. She took a breath and looked away, "Let's go, I'll take you to work."
Ruan Xi herself did not plan to go to the company today. She had just finished working on the Fashion Expo and it was a good time for her to take a break. She sent Ling Yao to work, and then drove to Qianmen, to Ruan Cuizhi's home.
Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua left. Ruan Cuizhi and Yue Haofeng wanted to live closer to Ruan Xi and the others, so they were moving these days and planned to move to a house in the same community as Ruan Xi, Ruan Changsheng, Chen Peng and the others.
They had bought the house a long time ago, but had never moved in.
When Ruan Xi drove over, Yue Haofeng was moving things into the small truck outside the door.
After parking the car, Ruan Cuizhi also came out with something in her arms. Ruan Xi asked, "How much more do you have?"
Ruan Cuizhi wiped the sweat off her head and said, "No more, almost everything is packed up."
Since everything was almost cleaned up, Ruan Xi naturally couldn't help. As the two were talking, Ruan Cuilan and her husband came out of the yard again. Seeing Ruan Xi, they smiled and greeted her, "Xiao Xi, are you not busy today?"
Ruan Xi smiled and replied, "Fourth aunt, I'm not very busy recently."
A few people exchanged pleasantries as they put the last of the stuff on the truck.
After packing up the last few things, Ruan Cuizhi closed the gate of the courtyard and hung the copper lock.
The red door was closed, the copper lock was down, and the bustle in the yard was left in the past.
Yue Haofeng sat in the small truck that was transporting things, while Ruan Xi drove the car with Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Cuilan following behind. When driving out of the alley, Ruan Xi asked Ruan Cuilan: "Fourth Aunt, you won't leave anymore, right?"
After Liu Xinghua and Ruan Zhigao left one after another, everyone else went back to their respective places, but Ruan Cuilan and her husband did not return to the countryside immediately. They stayed with Chen Peng and Liu Hongmei for a while.
Guessing that they were not leaving, Ruan Xi asked this question in a casual manner.
Finally, Ruan Cuilan said, "No, we have to go back. Dapeng's grandfather still needs someone to look after him."
Every family has its own situation. There are elderly people to take care of at home and they cannot leave, so Ruan Xi naturally did not ask any more questions.
In short, Chen Peng and Liu Hongmei are now stable and they can come whenever they want.
Cars hit the road and merge into the traffic, performing the daily hustle and bustle of the city.
The flow of traffic is like water and light lines, the street scene changes with the seasons, tall buildings rise from the ground, and everyone moves from the old century into the new century, into an era of greater openness and tolerance, more rapid development, and an increasingly faster pace.
As people grow older, the flowers in the yard bloom more and more beautifully every year.
Green vines and leaves form a corridor, and the leaves are covered with pink and white jade-like flowers.
The flowers swayed slightly in the wind. Two butterflies landed on the petals, stayed for a moment, and then flew away.
From the room came the sound of mahjong tiles being rubbed, accompanied by shouting voices -
"I almost won just now, and it was a self-drawn one."
"If I had known I would have let you win."
"No need to let me, I will definitely masturbate next time."
…
In the kitchen, nanny Xiao Zhou cut a plate of fruit and brought it out.
He brought it to the mahjong table and said to Zhou Xueyun, Ruan Cuizhi, Ling Zhiyuan and Yue Haofeng, who had just arranged the mahjong tiles: "Take a break and eat some fruit."
Zhou Xueyun held the dice in her hand, put it down and said, "I am indeed tired, so let's eat some fruit before playing again."
So the four of them got up, sat down on the sofa, ate some fruit and drank some tea.
The four of them now all have gray hair and wrinkles on their faces, and Zhou Xueyun is wearing a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses. The relationships between neighbors living in the community are not very close, so they usually get together to play mahjong and chat when they have nothing to do.
Ruan Cuizhi ate some fruit and checked the time, saying, "I wonder where Cuilan is. She should have arrived today."
All the things in his hometown have been dealt with now, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about. Besides, Ruan Cuilan and her husband are not young anymore, so a few days ago Chen Peng went home to pick them up and let them come here to live with him in his old age.
Ruan Cuizhi had just finished speaking when she heard Liu Hongmei's voice coming from the yard: "Third Aunt, Third Uncle, are you here?"
Hearing the voice, Ruan Cuizhi quickly responded: "Yes, yes, here."
Before he stood up after answering, Liu Hongmei came in with Ruan Cuilan and her husband.
The sisters were so happy to see each other. Ruan Cuizhi smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "You finally came over."
Ruan Cuilan also smiled and said, "I just arrived and went to your house to look for you. I saw you were not at home, so I came here to look for you."
Ruan Cuizhi pulled her and Ling Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueyun to say hello, "I'm playing mahjong over here."
They had all met before, were all family members, and their ages were pretty close, so there was no need to feel too unfamiliar. They sat down to eat fruit, drink tea, chat and laugh, and soon became familiar with each other.
Seeing that Ruan Cuilan and her husband felt relieved after finding Ruan Cuizhi, Liu Hongmei also went back to her work.
After chatting for a while, before Ruan Cuizhi even said she wanted to stay for dinner, Zhou Xueyun called the nanny, "We have a lot of guests tonight, Xiao Zhou, please cook more food, or there won't be enough food."
Xiao Zhou responded and went out to buy groceries.
Ruan Cuizhi said: "We haven't said we'll stay to eat yet. It's not convenient for so many people."
Zhou Xueyun smiled and said, "Don't invite the young ones to come, just the old ones like you can stay."
Ruan Cuizhi laughed out loud, "That's fine, the old ones will stay."
By the time the nanny finished cooking, Ruan Xi and Ling Yao had also returned home from get off work.
Following Ruan Xi and Ling Yao into the house were Lele and Keke, who had gone somewhere to play.
Seeing Ruan Cuilan and her husband coming from the countryside, Ruan Xi and Ling Yao hurried over to greet them warmly, and then said to Lele and Keke, "Call the fourth aunt grandma and the fourth aunt grandpa."
Lele and Keke said together: "Hello, Fourth Aunt Grandma, Hello, Fourth Uncle Grandpa."
They were not familiar with Ruan Cuilan, so naturally they were mostly polite and distant.
Ruan Cuilan looked at Lele and Keke and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many years. You have grown so big in the blink of an eye. The last time I saw you, you were only as tall as my thighs. Now you look taller than me. How old are you?"
Lele replied: "Fourth Aunt, we are fourteen years old."
Ruan Cuilan still sighed, "They grow up too fast, they have become big boys and girls."
We chatted in the living room and then went to the dining room to sit down and eat. The topic at the dinner table revolved around the old man. Coco and Lele had nothing to say. After finishing their meal, they put down their chopsticks, said hello, and went upstairs to their rooms.
The two were not interested in their great aunt and great uncle, so they went back to their room, turned on their computers, and logged into QQ to play games.
As soon as I logged into the game, the QQ icon in the lower right corner of the computer started flashing.
Coco clicked on the flashing avatar, and a conversation box named "Xie Doudou" popped up.
Xie Doudou: [Take me with you when playing games]
Coco: [Too bad, I won’t bring it]
Xie Doudou went to find Lele again.
Lele is more decisive: [No]
Thanks Doudou: T^T
Ruan Xi and Ling Yao had to accompany their elders, and they went back upstairs only after their third aunt, fourth aunt and two uncles had left. Of course Ruan Xi did not wash up and go to bed immediately, but instead did forty minutes of exercise with Ling Yao.
After sweating all over, Ruan Xi took her clothes and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I went back to my room and sat on the bed. I picked up my phone, unlocked it, took a quick look at it, and then threw it on the bedside table.
Even though it is already the 21st century, smartphones have not yet been invented and the only function of mobile phones is to use QQ.
At Ruan Xi's age, he no longer has the leisure time to chat on QQ.
These things are what Coco and Lele played with when they were that age.
After throwing away the phone, Ruan Xi picked up a stack of papers on the bedside table, turned on the bedside lamp, leaned against the headboard and read carefully. When I finished reading one page and turned to the second page, Ling Yao came back from taking a shower.
He got on the bed and sat next to Ruan Xi. He took a look at what she was holding and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ruan Xi's eyes were still on the page in her hand. "I'm going to be on a talk show tomorrow. This is the interview script that we discussed in advance. I have to take a closer look at it so I don't make any mistakes when recording."
After saying that, she looked at Ling Yao, "Do you want to be my audience?"
Ling Yao smiled and said, "Okay, I happen to be not busy tomorrow."
Ruan Xi also looked at him and smiled, then looked away and continued reading her interview transcript.
After seeing what he had seen, he turned off the lights, lay down, chatted with Ling Yao, and then fell asleep peacefully.
I woke up to the alarm clock the next day. It was almost the same as every morning in the past eight or nine years - I got up, washed, and tidied myself, and after breakfast we went out together to our respective units to do our own things.
Ruan Xi attended a half-day meeting at the company, and in the afternoon he took his assistant to the TV station to record a program.
It just so happened that Wen Xiao also had an event at the TV station, so the two of them met in a dressing room.
While putting on makeup in the dressing room, Wen Xiao said to Ruan Xi, "I've been saying recently that I want to go and hang out with you and have afternoon tea together, but I never found the time. Are you busy in a few days on Sunday? If not, I'll go and see you."
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "I just finished a busy period, and I haven't been very busy recently. The new aunt we hired makes really good pastries. Come to my house on Sunday and I'll ask her to make some for you to try."
Wen Xiao liked sweets to begin with, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Really? Then I have to go anyway."
The two of them finished talking and putting on makeup, and since there was still time, they chatted and waited for a while.
Ruan Xi's interview started recording first. When her assistant came to call her, she said hello to Wen Xiao and went to record the show first.
Follow the rehearsed program flow, enter the studio and greet the host, sit down on the sofa and say hello to everyone. The first part is all procedural stuff. You introduce yourself and then start a Q&A session with the host.
While chatting and answering questions, Ruan Xi saw Ling Yao sitting in the audience and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
She thought he was just talking nonsense, but she didn't expect him to actually come and be her audience.
The interview went smoothly. Ruan Xi and the host discussed all topics in a question-and-answer session, and the atmosphere was pretty good. Then, just when Ruan Xi was waiting for the interview to end, the host didn't seem to have any intention of ending it.
He suddenly smiled and said, "You seem to be the first generation of domestic designers. You have won the highest award at every China International Fashion Exhibition. You have also been selected as one of the top ten designers in China. You have also won many other domestic design awards. You even joined the China Fashion Design Association and served as a director. Many large-scale evening parties and large-scale activities in China require performance costumes and dresses, which are basically designed by you. At present, you are considered the top fashion designer in China. Have you ever thought about developing overseas and going international?"
This is indeed part of the plan and what she has been working on for many years. Although it was beyond the scope of the interview script, Ruan Xi did not give up and nodded, "Of course there is."
The host then asked: "Are you confident that your work will go international?"
Ruan Xi laughed and said, "Of course there are."
The host also smiled, but what he said was: "Speak from your heart, but I think it may be a little difficult."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the studio changed instantly.
Ruan Xi still had a smile on her face as she looked at the host and said, "I'd like to hear more details."
The host said: "I have seen your works. You have used the most Chinese elements, but in my opinion, these elements are rather rustic and cannot be integrated with the international standards. If you really want to go abroad, I suggest you learn more about foreign designs and use more Western elements, which will be more advanced."
Ruan Xi's smile remained, but her eyes had turned cold. "You mean, everything in our country is so rustic and unpresentable that it will never go abroad, right?"
The host thought for a moment and said, "It is true that we can say that. Whether it is food, drink or daily necessities, in terms of design and creativity, they are indeed incomparable to those abroad. They are just not advanced enough."
No one interrupted the interview, so Ruan Xi had to continue talking to him, smiling, "Since you look down on our culture, then you are not Chinese? You don't eat Chinese food, and you don't wear Chinese clothes?"
The host smiled and said, "I don't look down on our country's culture. I like our country's culture very much. But as far as design is concerned, I am just stating some objective facts. Using Chinese elements is not grand enough or Western enough. It is rather rustic. To be honest, I only wear foreign brands, not domestic brands."
Ruan Xi looked him up and down, raised her palm, and said with a smile: "Do you think you are very Western?"
The host looked down at his clothes and said, "What are I wearing..."
Before he could name the brand, Ruan Xi interrupted him and continued, "Looking at this outfit on you, I can only say it doesn't make sense, and it's not high-end, it even looks very cheap. The tailoring and stitching are good, but the material is not right, the whole outfit looks cheap, no texture at all. And the combination of your shoes and accessories can only be described in four words - messy. If this is what you think is high-end and fashionable, then I suggest you cultivate your own aesthetic taste."
The host originally wanted to keep smiling and continue the conversation, but after hearing Ruan Xi's words and looking at her fake smile, the smile on his face slowly froze.
But he didn't show anything, and quickly managed his expression, and continued to say with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ruan, I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson here. I will learn how to dress well when I go back. I also wish you to go international soon."
Ruan Xi naturally smiled and said, "Thank you. I have received an official invitation to the Paris Fashion Week. Next year, I will take my brand and the Chinese-style clothes I designed to the international stage."
She hadn't originally planned to talk about this, but now that things had come to this, she might as well just say it and shut him up.
When the host heard this, his face froze again and he almost couldn't hold it anymore.
But he managed his expression well, and he quickly smiled again, pretending to be surprised and said, "Really? That's really my lack of knowledge. Congratulations, Mr. Ruan. I hope to see the clothes you designed make a stunning appearance at the Paris Fashion Week next year."
Ruan Xi's smiling expression remained unchanged. "Will they invite you to the show?"
The host's smile was very stiff, and he laughed awkwardly: "It seems that the threshold for watching the show is quite high."
Ruan Xi still looked at him with a smile on her face, "It is very high. Do you want me to send you an invitation?"
The host's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is it okay?"
Ruan Xi laughed out loud, "Of course not. I only send invitations to people who like my designs."
host:"……"
Seeing that the host was speechless, Ruan Xi took the initiative to ask: "Do you have any more questions? If not, this episode of our program should be almost over, right? You asked a few more questions, I have to ask your leader for more money."
host:"……"
He reacted and started going through the process again to finish.
After he finished the interview, Ruan Xi didn't give him any more face and got up and went straight to the dressing room backstage. Wen Xiao was busy and not in the dressing room, so it was just her and her assistant.
The makeup she wore for the interview was relatively light, and Ruan Xi did not plan to remove it. She drank some water and planned to go home.
Just as she stood up and prepared to leave, the leader of the program team suddenly came over again. She said that the last short segment of the show was added by the host without permission, and to express her apology, she wanted to invite her out for dinner in the evening.
Forget about going to eat again. Ruan Xi smiled and said, "No need. I don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she did not stay in the TV station any longer, nor did she wait for the host to come and apologize to her in person. She left with her assistant. After leaving, she did not go back to the company, but got into Ling Yao's car.
As they had so little time, the two of them didn't plan to go home.
Ling Yao called Zhou Xueyun, and went out to eat with Ruan Xi alone, enjoying a simple life for the two of them.
Of course she didn't pretend in front of Ling Yao. Ruan Xi said, "It's unlucky that I can meet people who worship foreign things even when recording a program."
Ling Yao drove the car: "In the eyes of some people, the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China."
There is nothing to discuss in depth about this topic, and this is not an isolated case. There are many people who share the same idea as the host, thinking that everything abroad is good, and that things in China are not up to standard and are tacky.
Without saying anything more about this, Ruan Xi asked Ling Yao: "What are we going to eat?"
Ling Yao turned to look at her: "Hot pot?"
I haven't eaten it for a long time. Ruan Xi nodded slowly, "The spiciest kind!"
Ling Yao looked at the road ahead and smiled, "Okay."
The talk show was broadcast on Saturday night, but Ruan Xi didn't like the host so she didn't wait to watch it on TV. Since Ling Yao had seen it live, he naturally did not watch it on TV again.
In the evening, while everyone else in the family was watching TV in the living room, the two of them finished their exercise early and went back to their room to sleep.
Of course, she wouldn't be able to sleep if it was too early, so Ruan Xi took out her cell phone and called Wen Xiao and Ruan Jie.
I told Wen Xiao that she would come to my house for afternoon tea this Sunday, but I don’t know if she is free tomorrow, so I still have to call her in advance to ask so that I can make preparations.
After calling Wen Xiao and making an appointment with Wen Xiao, Ruan Xi called Ruan Jie again.
Anyway, it’s afternoon tea, so of course we can make appointments if we can.
The phone rang a few times before it was connected. Ruan Xi said hello to Ruan Jie on the phone: "Director Ruan, are you asleep?"
After working in the Education Bureau until her age, Ruan Jie was promoted to director of the Education Bureau last year.
Ruan Jie's voice came from the receiver, "I'm watching your talk show here. I haven't slept yet."
Ruan Xi didn't talk to her about the interview, she just asked: "Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to come over and get together? I've also made an appointment with Wen Xiao."
No matter how old you are, sisterhood is essential. Ruan Jie immediately responded, "Yes, yes, I'm free tomorrow."
Ruan Xi smiled at the phone and said, "Okay, then come over tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone and putting it on the bedside table, Ruan Xi turned to look at Ling Yao: "What are you doing tomorrow?"
Ling Yao thought for a moment and said, "How about I go to work overtime at the company?"
Ruan Xi laughed again, "It's up to you."
The next day, Ling Yaoyuan didn't want to work overtime, but after receiving a phone call in the morning, he went to the company anyway. After lunch, Zhou Xueyun and Ling Zhiyuan went to Ruan Cuizhi's house. Keke and Lele also went out to play, so only Ruan Xi was left at home.
It was just the right time for her to have a quiet afternoon tea with Wen Xiao and Ruan Jie. Before Wen Xiao and Ruan Jie came, Ruan Xi had already talked to the aunt at home and asked her to make a few more desserts today to entertain Wen Xiao and Ruan Jie.
The timing was perfect, and when Wen Xiao and Ruan Jie arrived, the dessert was just ready.
The three sisters sat down to drink tea, eat dessert and chat.
Wen Xiao ate the dessert and agreed: "Your aunt's cooking skills are really good. It tastes better than what I eat in the store."
Ruan Xi drank tea and said, "If you like, you can come here often."
Wen Xiao shook his head, "I'm old now, I don't dare to eat too much sweets."
Since they were all of similar age, Ruan Jie naturally didn't dare to eat too much. She just ate a little to satisfy her craving. She put aside her distraction, drank some tea, looked at Ruan Xi and asked, "Sister, have you been invited to the Paris Haute Couture Week?"
Ruan Xi was a little surprised, "How did you know?"
Ruan Jie put the cup on the coffee table and said to her directly, "You said that on the show yourself."
If you didn't mention it, they wouldn't have remembered it, but as soon as you mentioned it, Ruan Xi and Wen Xiao both remembered it.
Wen Xiao didn't watch the show, so he slapped his thigh when he heard this and said, "That show was broadcast last night, oh my, I was so angry that I forgot to watch it."
Ruan Xi was a little surprised, "They actually broadcast it?"
She thought the last part would be cut out. Although neither she nor the host behaved in an unpleasant way, they were still confronting each other. In the end, the host was actually made to look quite unpleasant by her and his facial expression was almost unable to maintain control.
Ruan Jie nodded, "Yeah, that host should be choked."
Wen Xiao didn't know what was going on, so he asked while drinking tea, "What happened to the host?"
Ruan Jie said: "She worshipped foreign things and said that everything in our country was rustic and not up to par. Finally, she said in a sarcastic way that she hoped my sister's designs would soon be exported. Then my sister said that she had received an invitation to the Paris Fashion Week."
He laughed and said, "Oh, looking at the host's face, I feel so relieved!"
Wen Xiao slapped his thigh again, "How could I have forgotten that!"
Ruan Jie looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, there will be a replay later, you can watch it later."
After that, she asked Wen Xiao again, "Who made you angry last night?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this. As soon as he mentioned this, Wen Xiao became angry again and said in a bad tone, "My good son."
Ruan Xi asked, "What happened to you, Doudou?"
Wen Xiao snorted, "He didn't do anything to me, but he did something to someone else behind my back. At such an old age, only fifteen, he's already imitating others in dating. Do you think I'm angry?"
Ruan Jie was very curious, "How did you know?"
Wen Xiaoqing cleared his throat and was silent for a moment before speaking again: "I checked his phone. He was chatting with a little girl on QQ, asking her about her well-being and calling her his wife. Isn't this a love relationship? In his entire life, I have never seen him ask me about my well-being like this. You say these kids nowadays are too brave. Who would have dared to do that back then?"
Ruan Jie thought about it and said, "It's really not a good idea to fall in love at such a young age."
Ruan Xi continued, "I don't think it's right for you to look through your child's phone."
Wen Xiao said: "I couldn't help it either, but I didn't find him to teach him a lesson."
Ruan Xi: "Don't worry, just guide him well. At this age, it's the time when love begins to blossom, so it's inevitable."
Ruan Jie didn't know how she remembered it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Just like you and your brother-in-law in the beginning, right?"
Ruan Xi was holding the cup to his mouth and was about to drink tea, but he almost sprayed it on Ruan Jie's face.
Having been together for so many years, Wen Xiao had already known about the things that happened between Ruan Xi and Ling Yao. When Ruan Jie said this now, she also laughed and said, "If it's like you two, then that's fine."
But after saying that, she remembered the ugly look of her Xie Doudou, so she said with disdain: "I don't think he can make it. If he can be half as smart as your Lele and Keke, I won't worry about this."
As she spoke, she began to praise Coco and Lele, with a lot of words to say.
Then, before she had finished praising herself to her heart's content, she suddenly heard a series of low, a cappella singing coming from outside:
“Sing as loudly as you want. Even if no one applauds me, at least I can still appreciate myself bravely…”
"If you want to sing, sing beautifully. Even if this stage is empty, one day you will see glow sticks waving..."
Before she finished singing the last word "棒", Coco came into the room and saw Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Wen Xiao. Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Wen Xiao also saw her. The eyes of both sides met in mid-air, and the four of them were stunned for a moment.
Ruan Xi: “…”
Wen Xiao was just praising Coco when she came in with a spiky afro.
Then, before Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Wen Xiao could react, Lele came in behind them. The moment he appeared in their sight, Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Wen Xiao held their breath again, trying hard to hold their expressions and not making any sound.
Lele also got a hedgehog-like afro!
Two exploding hedgehogs!
The air was frozen for a long moment. Ruan Xi slowly put down the teacup in her hand, squinted her eyes and looked at her son and daughter who had just been stepped over. She slowly said, "Do you think this looks good?"
Coco raised her hand and plucked the tip of her hair. "This is the most popular hairstyle now. It's quite fashionable."
“…”
She should have a cup of tea to calm down.
