“We don’t need to cooperate with her!” Gu Chen’s deep eyes flashed with a cold and dangerous light. “This year’s Youth Science and Technology Competition, from the preliminary rounds onwards, has been led by Ruan Ruan in design.”
"Ruanruan has already finished designing the final mechs, and we've already divided the tasks. Ruanruan will handle the overall design, Su Lei and I will be responsible for the chip design, and Tang Guang will handle the assembly. The four of us are enough!"
Old Yi looked troubled.
He knew that if someone was brought in from above at this time, it would undoubtedly be to steal credit. However, he had spoken to his superiors beforehand and had a rather firm attitude, so Chen Danqing would most likely be added to their group.
Xiao Ruanruan noticed Yi Lao's predicament and was about to say that she would handle the matter.
Then Gu Chen, who was standing next to him, said, "Elder Yi, you don't need to worry about this. I will handle it."
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xiao Ruanruan instantly felt at ease.
She's a lazy person who dreams of being a couch potato, and she's very happy that someone can help her solve this problem.
When Xiao Ruanruan and the others left the laboratory building, Xiao Ruanruan immediately spotted Gao Zitong, who was huddled up in the flower bed under the sycamore tree, clutching his schoolbag and shivering from the cold.
She quickly shuffled over on her little feet, "Sister Zitong, why are you still here? Haven't you gone home?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ruanruan's voice, Gao Zitong immediately put on a bright smile, jumped up while clutching her schoolbag, and naturally put one arm around Xiao Ruanruan's shoulder. "Xiao Ruanruan, you're out! I've been waiting for you!"
As he spoke, he handed a cup of milk tea to Xiao Ruanruan, saying, "Xiao Ruanruan, here you go."
Little Ruanruan looked at the milk tea, blinking her bright eyes, feeling a little touched. "Sister Zitong, you're so kind! You even bought me milk tea."
"I didn't order it, and I don't know who ordered it for me. I checked, and this milk tea shop makes it with fresh milk, and it's not usually easy to buy. I thought you like it, so I saved it for you when you came out!"
Gao Zitong, with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, one arm draped over Xiao Ruanruan's shoulder, and one hand in his pocket, walked with an air of nonchalance as he spoke.
Su Lei looked at the cup of milk tea, but his eyes darkened. Gao Zitong actually held the milk tea without drinking it, and waited until Xiao Ruanruan came out to give it to her!
While happily sipping her milk tea, Xiao Ruanruan asked Gao Zitong, "Sister Zitong, do many people know that you're waiting for us here?"
"I don't think so! I came with Su Lei, and I didn't run into any acquaintances on the way! Little Ruanruan, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Little Ruanruan looked at the milk tea she had drunk from and wanted to return it to Sister Zitong, but... it seemed a little unhygienic.
Then, I comforted myself, thinking, "Oh well, I've already had it, and my sister-in-law won't run away just because of this cup of milk tea."
Her beautiful, bright eyes darted around. "It's nothing, I was just asking. But... Sister Zitong, I think I already know who sent you this milk tea."
"Who is it?" Gao Zitong was completely taken aback.
Little Ruanruan looked at Su Lei, her sweet, childlike voice ringing out, "Brother Su Lei, can you guess who gave Sister Zitong the milk tea? Why don't you tell Sister Zitong?"
Su Lei turned his face to the side, his ears turning slightly red, "How should I know?"
On the way home, Xiao Ruanruan cupped her face in her hands, her clear, bright obsidian-like black eyes fixed on Su Lei.
Su Lei felt uncomfortable under her gaze and shifted his body. "Little Softie, why have you been staring at me all day?"
Little Ruanruan tilted her head slightly, giving an adorable head tilt. Because her little hands were cupping her face, her sweet, childlike voice was a little muffled as she spoke, "I was watching, watching why Brother Su Lei suddenly became biased."
Why do you only invite Sister Zitong to drink milk tea and not me?!
Su Lei: ...
After a moment of silence, he said righteously, "Little Ruanruan, don't overthink it. I gave her milk tea because she insisted on waiting for you there, and I saw that she was quite cold, so I ordered her a cup of milk tea."
"Besides, she's already ten years old and can drink milk tea, but you're still too young. The additives in milk tea have too much of an impact on your health, so you can't drink it!"
Little Ruanruan looked completely understanding, nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice. "I understand, I understand, Brother Su Lei, I understand, you don't need to explain!"
Su Lei: ...
He genuinely just saw that Gao Zitong looked a bit cold and felt sorry for her waiting for them all alone outside, so he ordered her a milk tea.
But now that Xiao Ruanruan has said this, he himself feels that his explanation is a bit like trying to hide something obvious.
So much so that his face unconsciously started to burn from the roots of his ears.
An eerie silence fell over the carriage.
After a moment of silence, Su Lei nudged Xiao Ruanruan and said, "Ruanruan, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Hmm? Brother Su Lei, you said that as long as it's something Xiao Ruanruan can help with, she will definitely do her best!" Xiao Ruanruan said with great loyalty.
"It's...it's about the milk tea today, don't tell Qianqian," Su Lei said with great difficulty, not even daring to look into Ruan Ruan's eyes as he spoke.
"Oh~~~ about this~~~" Little Ruanruan deliberately dragged out her voice, which was full of meaning, "Brother Su Lei, is it because you organized my sister to say goodbye to Brother Qin Huan before, and you were afraid that my sister would retaliate against you if she found out about it, that you felt guilty and didn't want my sister to know?"
"No!" Su Lei glanced at Xiao Ruanruan speechlessly, then slumped back in the car. He was afraid that if Su Qianqian found out, she would interrogate him with a gossipy look, just like Xiao Ruanruan was now.
Moreover, Susie might even laugh at him.
However, looking at Xiao Ruanruan's face, which had the same gossipy and cheeky expression as Su Xixi, he suddenly felt a little hopeless and didn't want to hide it anymore. He waved his hand indifferently, "Fine, if you want to tell her, then tell her!"
He began to feel a little guilty towards his older brothers, who had kindly adopted him and Su Xixi.
But now, Xiao Ruanruan has been led astray by Su Xixi...
Why!
When Xiao Ruanruan and Su Lei arrived home, Su Qianqian and Su Xiaowu were each holding one hand to a card on the coffee table, glaring at each other like two angry bulls.
Little Ruan Ruan ran over, looked at the older brother and then at the older sister, stretched out her little paws, and dragged out the card they were holding down.
Why did they send us invitations to Li Wanjun's birthday party?
