Lu Hang and Zhang Qiaoyu still had to pack their things, and they returned to the provincial capital that afternoon, where they would leave directly.
At night, the elders were worried that Lu Linqi would be scared to sleep alone, so they suggested that he sleep with Lu Chuqing.
Before the little dumpling could speak, Lu Linqi was the first to disagree, "I'm all grown up now, I can't sleep with girls."
The elders were amused by his serious demeanor, but in the end, Lu Jun said no, he should sleep in Lu Chengyang's small cubicle.
Lu Linqi disagreed, but couldn't resist the elders, and finally moved into Lu Chengyang's small cubicle.
Anyway, the young boy lives at school and isn't usually home.
With everything arranged, the two children officially started school the next day.
As required by Lu Hang, Lu Linqi has finished studying all the textbooks for the first semester of first grade and has no problems attending class.
After returning home from school on the first day, he answered all the questions from his elders, saying that he was perfectly fine.
Seeing how obedient and sensible he was, Lu Chuqing couldn't help but treat him better.
He's just a proud little boy. He's good-looking and academically gifted. So what if he's a bit cheeky?
Besides, this is her second cousin. If her second uncle becomes very wealthy in the future, she will benefit greatly from his success.
So, when there was a lollipop, Dada ran to give it to Lu Linqi, saying, "Second brother~ have some candy~"
The boy's ears turned red. "Hmph, only little kids eat candy, how childish!"
Then, he immediately took it and put it in his pocket.
While eating watermelon, Dada ran over to give Lu Linqi a piece, saying, "Second brother~ have some watermelon~"
Perhaps he's gradually gotten used to it, because Lu Linqi's ears no longer turn as red when he hears "Second Brother," but they still retain a hint of color.
He was slowly munching on a watermelon when he turned his head and saw that the little dumpling's face was covered in juice. His expression instantly turned disgusted.
“It’s filthy,” the boy blurted out.
Lu Chuqing was already used to his cheeky manner, so she turned her face closer to him and said, "Second brother, can you wipe it for me? Big brother always wipes it for me at home."
The little dumpling pursed her lips, making her chubby face look even rounder. Her voice was sweet and soft, and she deliberately dragged out the tone to act coquettishly, which made Lu Linqi's ears turn red.
Hmm...so cute...
Just then, Cai Min passed by the two children and saw that the elders were happy to see that the two had a good relationship.
She laughed and joked, "Our Qingqing's eyes are so wide open, you little cutie!"
Upon hearing Cai Min's words, Lu Linqi reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, saying with a look of disgust, "Where is the cuteness? It's filthy, and you don't care about cleanliness at all."
Then, as if to cover something up, she quickly added, "Where are your eyes big? How big are single-eyelid eyes?"
If it weren't for that last sentence, Lu Chuqing would have pretended not to hear his arrogant and cheeky remarks, but he just had to say that she had single eyelids.
This has escalated to a personal attack!
What's wrong with having single eyelids? Are single eyelids bothering him?
The little dumpling stopped eating her melon, glared at Lu Linqi, and said loudly, "So what if I have single eyelids now? My mom has double eyelids, and I'll grow them too!"
After saying that, he ran away, not wanting to talk to Lu Linqi anymore.
The boy was also stunned by her sudden shout. Watching the little dumpling leave angrily, he felt a sense of helplessness for the first time, as if he had done something wrong.
He didn't do it on purpose.
He just didn't want to admit that he liked cute little sisters, so he said those things to cover up his true feelings.
But he did make his sister angry.
She ran to her room in one breath and started fiddling with her eyelids in front of the mirror.
She wasn't lying; she would indeed grow double eyelids in the future.
The Lu family has a gene for double eyelids, so both Lu Chengyang and Lu Linqi inherited their father's double eyelids.
Chai Shuhua has double eyelids with a narrow, long, and upturned shape. Lu Chengyang's eyes are a combination of his parents' eye features, with the outer corners of his eyes being slightly upturned like phoenix eyes.
Zhang Qiaoyu has big, double-lidded eyes and a mole at the corner of her left eye. Lu Linqi inherited Lu Hang's peach blossom eyes and Zhang Qiaoyu's mole at the corner of her eye.
The feature of a mole at the corner of the eye is particularly appealing to both men and women.
Therefore, Lu Chuqing genuinely thought that Lu Linqi was handsome, and that when he grew up, he would surely capture the hearts of countless girls.
Her mother, Lu Ying, had large, expressive almond-shaped eyes.
But! She has only inherited almond-shaped eyes so far.
If you really have to blame someone, blame Liu Fengming for having single eyelids, which caused her to have single eyelids for the past few years.
In her past life, it must have been when she was in the second grade of elementary school. It was a Sunday, and her third cousin came to Old Man Liu's house to ask for eggs. At that time, she was squatting at the door helping Old Lady Liu pick vegetables.
While my fourth cousin was waiting for Old Man Liu to get the eggs, she noticed a cucumber under the small basket where the vegetables were kept. She squatted down, picked up the cucumber, broke it in half, rubbed it between her hands, and started eating it right away.
She actually wanted to eat some too, but she didn't have the courage to take some herself, so she just watched her fourth cousin eat.
Perhaps her eyes were really too eager at the time, so her fourth cousin gave her a disdainful look and muttered, "Greedy little thing."
Then she dared not look anymore and lowered her head to continue picking vegetables.
But then her fourth cousin started peering at her again, which made her wonder what was wrong with her. When she looked up at her, her fourth cousin's expression faltered for a moment, and then she quickly looked her up and down with an expression that she didn't recognize at the time.
Then he turned to Grandma Liu and said, "Grandma, when did Liu Jing grow double eyelids?"
After hearing this, Old Lady Liu stared into her eyes, a slight smile on her aged face. "Oh, really, when did Jingni grow double eyelids? They make her eyes look even bigger."
Lu Chuqing was extremely ignorant at the time; she didn't even know what double eyelids were. She only learned from their conversation that double eyelids were those with overlapping layers.
Looking at her still single-eyelid eyes in the mirror, Lu Chuqing muttered angrily, "Hmph, wait until I grow double eyelids, then let's see how you, you little arrogance, still talk so rudely!"
As she spoke, memories of her past life involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
In her past life, my fourth cousin was the one with the smallest eyes and single eyelids among her siblings.
Her younger brother inherited her mother's big, double-eyelid eyes, which often made her angry.
Later, when she arrived at the Liu family, her fourth cousin, seeing that she had big eyes, gave her a cold shoulder.
In addition, she was younger than her, had no mother, and her father was not at home. Her fourth cousin often bullied her behind the adults' backs.
After her fourth cousin, who was fifteen or sixteen at the time and still a young girl, discovered that she had unknowingly developed double eyelids, she disliked her even more.
Not only did they bully her more and more, but once they even deliberately threw coarse sand into her eyes, saying that her eyes were staring like a donkey's eyes and were very ugly.
After that incident, her retina was damaged, and the Liu family didn't care about her at all, nor did they take her to see a doctor.
As a result, her eyesight deteriorated, and she would experience pain and tearing up if she looked at something for even a short time.
Thinking of all this, Lu Chuqing suddenly smiled.
Thinking about it that way, she really is lucky.
Even though the sand rubbed against my eyes, I haven't gone blind yet.
It's a pity she wasn't born into the Liu family; otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't have been able to resist crawling over in the middle of the night to gouge out that person's eyes.
