Volume 1 Chapter 103 Are you feeling better?
Du Ruo finally fell into a deep sleep while listening to Xu Jingmo's lulling song.
When I opened my eyes again, the bed next to me was already cold. I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was 11:00 noon.
Thinking of his noon flight, Du Ruo guessed that he should have left long ago. She felt a little empty for no reason. She sat on the bed in a daze for a while. Suddenly she remembered the bet she lost to Du Yao, and hurriedly got out of bed and quickly tidied herself up.
Du Ruo hurried downstairs, shouting as he ran, "Uncle Li, please take me to pick up..."
When he ran down to the first floor and saw the person sitting on the sofa in the living room, Du Ruo was startled.
Xu Jingmo was leisurely eating a fruit plate and watching TV. When he saw her coming down, he stood up and said, "Go pick them up? I'll take you there."
"Ah." Du Ruo nodded blankly, and only came to her senses after she got into the car with him, and asked, "You didn't go home? Why didn't you leave? Don't you have classes in the afternoon?"
Xu Jingmo reached out and pulled the seat belt for her, explaining, "I've asked for leave. I'll leave tomorrow."
"Why?" Du Ruo looked confused.
Xu Jingmo looked at her with deep eyes, smiled meaningfully, pinched her chin, leaned over and kissed her, gradually deepening the kiss.
It wasn't until the temperature in the car seemed to rise that he reluctantly separated from her, sat back down, pulled his own seat belt and fastened it, and whispered, "I'm afraid that some little scumbag girl won't take responsibility after having fun with me, so I have to stay and ask for an explanation."
Du Ruo: ???
The two went to the school together to pick up Du Yao and Xu Siyan.
He was particularly conspicuous among a group of middle-aged men and women standing at the school gate.
When the school bell rang, Du Ruo was already mentally prepared. Perhaps because Xu Jingmo was with her today, she didn't feel so awkward and was even in a good mood.
When she heard Du Yao and Xu Siyan calling her excitedly, she even waved at them with a smile.
"Wow! It's a fairy! Du Yao, your sister is so beautiful!"
Du Yao raised his chin proudly, "Of course, my sister is super super super beautiful!"
Xu Siyan also said proudly: "That's my sister-in-law. Did you see the handsome guy next to her? My brother!"
"Wow!!!"
"So handsome!! Just like a star on TV!"
The two little brats looked at each other proudly, like little peacocks with their tails spread out.
As soon as he met them, Du Ruo couldn't wait to get into the car.
After Du Yao finished showing off, he was very generous and did not pursue the matter.
After getting in the car, Xu Jingmo said, "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Good news!!!" Du Yao and Xu Siyan answered in unison.
Xu Jingmo: "I've asked for leave this afternoon for you. You don't have to go to school. I'll take you to the amusement park."
"Wow! Wow!!!" Du Yao excitedly hugged Xu Jingmo's neck from behind, "Brother-in-law!!! Woohoo!!! I love you so much!!!"
The kid was so reckless that Xu Jingmo was almost strangled to death. He said, "There is another bad news."
Du Yao urged: "Hurry up and tell me."
"Enjoying happiness in advance comes at a price. You have to pay a price for an afternoon of happiness, and study at home all day on Saturday. If you don't agree, you can go to school normally in the afternoon."
Du Yao quickly refused, "If I don't come, I'll go to the amusement park this afternoon."
Xu Siyan didn't care, as he was supposed to study at home on Saturday.
Xu Jingmo nodded and said, "Okay, fasten your seat belts and let's go eat first."
Du Yao: "I want to eat burgers!"
Xu Siyan: "I want to eat spicy hotpot."
Du Yao immediately changed his tone, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's eat spicy hot pot!!"
Du Ruo looked puzzled, "What is that?"
Du Yao said with an experienced look, "You haven't eaten it, right? I haven't eaten it either. It is said to be a popular delicacy among primary and secondary school students."
His parents would occasionally allow him to eat burgers, but would never let him eat spicy hot pot, saying that hot pot was unhealthy and that growing children should not eat it.
Xu Jingmo agreed readily, "Okay, let's eat spicy hot pot."
Before Du Yao and Xu Siyan could even clap and cheer.
He added, "Your sister and I don't care. You two are little kids, and your stomachs may not adapt to all foods. I took you there just because you wanted to go. If you think the food doesn't taste good or you get an upset stomach after eating, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
Du Yao patted his chest and said confidently: "No problem, a man should be responsible for himself. I have to try it myself to know. How can I believe it if you just tell me."
Du Ruo didn't respond the whole time, but just silently watched the joy on Du Yao and Xu Siyan's faces, then looked at the calm Xu Jingmo, curled his lips silently, and thought that Xu Jingmo was quite good at dealing with children.
When she was young, her parents took her to many places for travel, but she had never eaten foods such as starch sausage and bubble milk tea in the scenic spots.
There is only one reason: children cannot eat it because it is unhealthy.
Little did I know that after that age, when I could eat whatever I wanted, I could no longer experience the joy of having my desires satisfied as a child.
They found a chain store and the four of them went in to select their ingredients.
Du Ruo chose slightly spicy, Xu Jingmo chose medium spicy, and the two kids asked for clear soup.
It's just some vegetables, meat and noodles cooked in bone broth. I don't know how they judged it to be unhealthy.
After eating it, the taste is just average, not bad, but not so good that it's addictive.
Du Yao said: "From now on, I can say that I have eaten malatang. I finally know what it tastes like. Just by listening to their description, I thought it was something delicious."
Xu Siyan commented: "It's not as delicious as the food at home."
Du Ruo lowered her eyes and chuckled. That's right, children are not that ignorant. They just have a curiosity about everything in the world.
After dinner, the four of them went straight to the amusement park.
Du Yao and Xu Siyan ran around excitedly.
Xu Jingmo held Du Ruo's hand and walked slowly behind him. He said, "If you feel tired, we can take a rest anytime."
Du Ruo shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. I slept for the whole morning and I feel very energetic."
Xu Jingmo smiled and teased: "The little fairy sucked my yang energy, how can it be bad?"
Du Ruo glared at him.
Xu Jingmo let go of her hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Am I wrong?"
Du Ruo pretended to be pretentious and said, "That's not quite right. This is just the beginning."
Xu Jingmo pinched her ear and said slowly, "Okay, I hope you can keep being so stubborn. You are not an adult. I have plenty of time to wait for you."
Du Ruo's ears turned red and she kept silent.
Xu Jingmo chuckled, and with a glimpse of a balloon seller not far away, he walked over quickly and bought all of them. He came back with a bunch of colorful balloons, stuffed them into Du Ruo's hand, and asked softly, "Are you feeling better now, fairy?"
