Little Ruanruan sat down on the steps with her head down.
Gu Chen sat down next to her, while Su Qianqian quietly sat down on the other side of Xiao Ruanruan.
Su Lei and Su Xiaowu sat on the first step behind them.
Su Xiaowu whispered to Su Lei, "Lei'er, don't you think that Xiao Ruanruan and Gu Chen seem to have a better relationship since they came back from the desert?"
Su Lei clenched his little fists sullenly and nodded, "Yes!"
"But it's quite strange, isn't it? In the past, Tyrant and the others would guard against Gu Chen getting close to Xiao Ruanruan like they were guarding against a thief, but today they not only took the initiative to let Gu Chen come along, but they didn't even care if Gu Chen and Xiao Ruanruan held hands."
"What do you think they talked about in Gu Chen's study today?" Su Xiaowu asked, full of doubt. Although he and Su Lei had also gone to Gu Chen's house today, they were locked out of the study.
Qiu Shun was still guarding outside the study, so they couldn't eavesdrop.
"I don't know," Su Lei said, his face as cold as ice crystals as he stared at the back of Gu Chen's head.
"Sigh!" Su Xiaowu sighed and looked Su Lei up and down. "Lei'er, I think something's wrong with you too. If it were like this before, you would have grabbed Xiao Ruanruan's hand and stayed close to her, and you would never have given Gu Chen any chance to get close to her."
Why was there no action taken today?
Su Lei lowered his head, looking at the bluestone ground. "For no reason other than that, he might be better able to protect Ruan Ruan than I am..."
His last half-sentence was barely audible, spoken in a very low voice. Su Xiaowu didn't hear it clearly, and when she asked again, Su Lei remained silent.
"Little Ruanruan, are you thinking about Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin?" Su Qianqian asked Little Ruanruan, cupping her face in her hands after sitting down.
"Mmm." Little Ruanruan nodded.
"Actually, I've been thinking about it too." Su Xixi's voice was a little muffled because her little face was supported by her little hands. "Although I think it's bad that Grandma Qin and the others abandoned Aunt Qin in order to fight for a little bit of the family property, I also feel sorry for them now."
“Little Ruanruan, do you know that I just heard from the servants in Grandma Qin’s courtyard that since Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin came here, they have been kneeling in front of Aunt’s grave for several hours every day.”
Grandma Qin was in pretty good health before, but because she'd been kneeling so much lately, her health deteriorated so quickly.
Little Ruanruan raised her head, looked at Gu Chen, and asked, "Brother Gu Chen, what would you do if it were you?"
Gu Chen raised his hand and ruffled Xiao Ruanruan's soft hair. "Ruanruan, what you think is the right choice."
Little Ruanruan's bright, large eyes, like black grapes, glanced distantly in the direction of her parents' gravestones, where her four older brothers were still standing.
Actually, when her older brother said he was bringing her to see their parents, she already realized that all four of her brothers had something to say to their parents.
However, their awkward personalities made them unsure how to start a conversation once they arrived here.
That's why she said those things on purpose to ease the tension.
She deliberately got angry, leaving the time for her brothers.
When they returned to Chongqing from Beijing, it was already quite late. The sky was gradually darkening, and the surrounding scenery was becoming somewhat indistinct.
Su Xiaowu, who was originally sitting one step behind Xiao Ruanruan, squeezed between Xiao Ruanruan and Gu Chen with all her might. She looked around warily before asking Xiao Ruanruan in a low voice, "Xiao Ruanruan, it's already dark, why haven't the Tyrant and the others come over yet?"
"You guys are saying there aren't really those kinds of things in the cemetery, are you?"
Su Xixi peeked her little head forward at Su Xiaowu, "Big brother, do you want to ask if there are any ghosts?"
Su Xiaowu's face turned deathly pale upon hearing that word. She quickly raised a finger to shush and said anxiously in a low voice, "Qianqian, shut up! You can't say that word. They'll come looking for you if they hear it!"
Susie: ...
"Hey bro, you practice boxing for so long every day, and you're afraid of everything? Aren't you a coward?"
Su Xiaowu puffed out her little chest and said confidently, "Fists can only be used to hit physical things. They don't even have bodies, so I can't hit them. Of course they're scared!"
Susie rolled her eyes. "Brother, since they don't even have bodies, you can't hit them, and they can't touch you. What are you afraid of?"
Su Xiaowu frowned. He felt that what Su Qianqian said made some sense, but something seemed off. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, and he just couldn't find a point to refute it.
Just as he was fretting, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "What are you afraid of..."
Su Xiaowu's face instantly turned ashen. He instinctively hugged the little girl beside him and cried out in a sob, "Eat me, don't eat my sister!"
Xiao Ruanruan looked at her fourth brother, who was walking up behind Su Xiaowu and deliberately making that kind of noise to scare the little brother. She felt a little helpless. Why was her fourth brother becoming more and more childish?
I remember my fourth brother used to be a cool and aloof movie star in the entertainment industry, but now he's almost become a goofball.
The media even said that it was her younger sister who made Su Yingdi (the actor) soften.
This is an absolute injustice. She's such a proper and pretty young woman, and she never taught their movie star to take the comedic route.
Little Ruanruan patted Su Xiaowu's back with her little hands, just about to tell him the truth.
Unexpectedly, Su Yan, in a playful mood, picked up Su Xiaowu and said, "Then I'll...eat you..."
