After this incident, the students in Class 2 became even closer. Final exams were over, and winter vacation was just around the corner. After returning home, they often chatted enthusiastically in the group chat. Of course, this was a group chat without their old friends, otherwise their old friends would definitely ask them every day, "How much homework have you done today? Have you made any plans for winter vacation?"
Everyone usually cares for their old friend, but at this time, they still choose to ignore him ruthlessly.
The winter vacation is approaching the Chinese New Year, and every household is bustling with activity. The entire community is more lively. Lan Shuang is inspired by this and suddenly has an idea to pull Mu Yan out to the supermarket to buy some New Year's goods.
"Brother, what do you think of this?" Lan Shuang saw that there were rabbit hats for sale and couldn't help but pick one up and twirl it around on her hand. The red furry hat looked very festive with a white rabbit printed on it, and the rabbit ears drooped and swayed with her movements.
Mu Yan took a look, imagined how Lan Shuang would look wearing the hat, and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, it does look good."
Lan Shuang agreed: "I think so too." Then she put the hat on Mu Yan's head with her backhand.
Mu Yan: “…”
Mu Yan originally had a delicate appearance, but because of his sharp features, he did not look gentle. But after putting on this hat, most of his face was covered, and the red ropes hanging on both sides made his skin look white, which made him look inexplicably cute.
Lan Shuang smiled and pinched it, and the rabbit's ears immediately stood up.
Press it once to make it stand upright, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes both at the same time, Lan Shuang was having a lot of fun.
A young couple passing by saw it, and the girl couldn't help but pick up one and showed it to her boyfriend, "How cute, try it on yourself."
Lan Shuang turned her head and saw the girl smile at her kindly.
Instead, the boy frowned and asked in an exaggerated tone, "Are you serious? What are you doing?"
The girl put her hands on her hips and said, "What's wrong? People who look better than you can wear it, so why can't you?"
The boy laughed, "That's right, I would wear it if I looked like that. I would look good even without hair. Look at me, I have such a big head, do you think I look good? Please don't embarrass me."
The girl couldn't help laughing, and Lan Shuang also laughed, "See? People are praising your beauty. Come on, let's go check out."
Mu Yan had no choice but to let Lan Shuang drag him away.
But is Mu Yan the kind of person who would obey so obediently?
He immediately ordered a set of bunny pajamas online. They were one-piece and could fit his entire body into them. They had two big ears and were pink and tender.
He secretly took the express package back without telling Lan Shuang and hid it in his bedroom. It didn't matter if he couldn't use it for the time being, because it would come in handy sooner or later.
It doesn’t matter if you buy a bigger one, just install two if one is empty.
…
The two of them spent two days in a daze at home. Lan Shuang's final exam results came out, which sparked a heated discussion in the group.
This time, Lan Shuang ranked 50th in the whole grade.
Compared with the last time, there has been rapid progress and obvious improvement in all subjects.
She knew the situation herself, so she didn't think anything of the ranking, but others were still shocked.
Cui Hao: [Xiaolan, did you take some magical medicine or get struck by lightning? How did you improve so quickly?]
Study Committee Member: [I think I can give my position to Xiaolan]
Chinese Class Representative: [Xiaolan's Chinese performance remains stable as always]
Qin Zhou: [As expected of Xiaolan]
The people below all cried out in surprise.
Lan Shuang had just finished exercising and was covered in sweat. She washed her hands before picking up her vibrating phone. She glanced at the group messages and found that the topic had changed again, to whether they wanted to go out and play together during the winter vacation. Lan Shuang was about to reply when she suddenly heard the sound of a key unlocking the door.
She was stunned for a moment and looked towards the kitchen. It was noon and Mu Yan was making lunch. So, outside the door was...
Thinking of a possibility, she hurried over to open the door. The person outside was turning the key when the door suddenly opened. She was stunned for a moment, then met Lan Shuang's gaze.
Their eyes met, and the woman's eyes widened slightly. After a long pause, she asked hesitantly, "Shuang... Shuangshuang?"
"It's me, Mom. Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't tell me in advance so that my brother and I could pick you up."
This is the original owner’s biological mother—Wu Qing.
Wu Qing is already in his forties, but you can't tell from his appearance. He is probably in his early thirties at most.
The original owner's appearance was mostly inherited from her beautiful mother.
Wu Qing stood at the door, looking Lan Shuang up and down. Suddenly, he came in, grasped Lan Shuang's shoulders, and asked worriedly, "Shuang Shuang, why have you lost so much weight? What happened?"
Lan Shuang: "Ah? No."
"Why not?" Wu Qing quickly took off his shoes, skillfully found his own slippers and put them on, then pulled Lan Shuang to sit on the sofa. "You were so plump before I left, how thin have you become now?"
She pinched Lan Shuang's arm worriedly, "There's not much flesh left."
Lan Shuang was helpless. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for too long that she felt this way. Mu Yan was with her every day, so he didn't react so strongly.
She is indeed much thinner now than at the beginning, weighing as much as 40 kilograms!
In addition to regular exercise, the body lines are smoother and more beautiful, so he looks a little thinner than people of the same weight.
No wonder Wu Qing is so worried.
Lan Shuang held her hand and said, "Mom, I'm really fine. I lost weight because I'm on a diet. I've been doing this for a semester."
"A semester?" Wu Qing said in a daze, "Yes, I've been gone for half a year..."
At this point, she felt a little guilty, "It's my fault. I haven't cared about your life for too long. I don't know what you've been through."
"Mom, don't blame yourself. You have to handle so many things in the company. You are busy paying off debts and making money. I understand. You used to worry about me."
Lan Shuang said this sincerely. In fact, the original owner also wanted to say these words, but she just didn't have the chance.
Wu Qing's eyes immediately turned red. "Let's not talk about this anymore. What happened in the past is in the past. Mom will spend more time with you in the future."
At this point she wiped her face and turned to look at the living room: "Where's your brother?"
"Cooking in the kitchen."
Lan Shuang stood up and opened the kitchen door. Mu Yan thought she was hungry and said without turning his head, "I'll be ready soon. Go wash your hands."
"Brother, Mom is back."
Mu Yan paused, turned around and saw the woman sitting on the sofa. His expression softened and he nodded to Wu Qing: "Mom."
"Hey—" Wu Qing looked at him with relief, "Have you grown taller again?"
Mu Yan laughed: "I'm already in my twenties, I won't grow any longer."
He turned off the fire, served the dishes to the table, and said hesitantly, "Because Shuangshuang is on a diet, we've been eating very vegetarian food lately. I wonder if you can adapt to it, Mom. If you don't like it, I'll stir-fry some meat dishes."
