For some reason, Xiao Ruanruan instinctively and guiltily pushed Gu Chen away.
Su Lei walked over and saw Xiao Ruanruan's red eyes from crying. He became even angrier. He clenched his little fists and glared at Gu Chen before gently asking Xiao Ruanruan, "Xiao Ruanruan, why are you crying? Did Gu Chen bully you?"
Although Xiao Ruan Ruan wiped away her tears, her breathing was still uneven and she was sneezing a little after crying.
In addition, she had been studying medicine with her grandfathers recently and was already quite tired. After returning, she rushed to participate in the Youth Science and Technology Competition.
When I had a few spare moments to rest, I still had to deal with the lawsuits between my brothers, and appease one after another. It was truly exhausting.
Now that Su Lei had asked her that question, the grievances she had just suppressed welled up again, and tears streamed down her face. "It's not just Brother Gu Chen who bullies me, you bully me too, boohoo..."
Su Lei looked at Xiao Ruanruan's tears, which she couldn't wipe away, and after a moment of bewilderment, he said in a panic, "Xiao Ruanruan, don't cry, brother was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
Tell your brother what he did wrong, and he'll correct it right away, okay?
Seeing Su Lei's flustered appearance, a sly glint flashed in Xiao Ruanruan's bright, watery eyes. Sure enough, crying was the most effective thing to do at the crucial moment.
She made up her mind. After the Youth Science and Technology Competition ended, if her brothers continued their increasingly childish competition for attention when she got back, she would have a good cry with each of them.
Little Ruanruan cried as she repeated what she had just said to Brother Gu Chen to Brother Su Lei.
Upon hearing those words, Gu Chen's sense of superiority, which he had just felt was closer to Xiao Ruanruan than to her brothers, vanished completely.
The claim that he's closer to his brothers is just something that this little scumbag girl, Xiao Ruanruan, says.
How come he never noticed before that Little Softie actually had the potential to use psychological manipulation and was so good at deceiving people?
However, seeing Xiao Ruanruan's tearful little face, his heart melted completely.
Fine, he accepts it if he runs into a scumbag girl, even if he's being manipulated, he's willing to accept it.
After finally explaining things to Brother Gu Chen and Brother Su Lei, Xiao Ruan Ruan closed the hotel room door, threw herself onto the large bed in the presidential suite, and let out a long sigh.
Today's events will at least give Brother Gu Chen and Brother Su Lei some peace and quiet during this competition.
Before the competition begins, the organizers are not allowed to contact the outside world to prevent any contestant from obtaining information about other contestants through off-site connections and making preparations in advance.
The contestants are no longer allowed to touch or adjust their mechs.
So, in the two days leading up to the competition, Xiao Ruanruan was exceptionally relaxed, and she took the time to catch up on her sleep.
The panda eyes I had from staying up late have finally disappeared.
This hotel is located by the sea and also has an artificial hot spring.
Although artificial hot springs cannot compare to natural ones, soaking in them is still very comfortable and relaxing.
After sleeping soundly, Little Softie soaked herself in the hot spring pool.
In order to have some peace and quiet these past two days, she has strictly ordered Brother Gu Chen, Brother Su Lei, and Brother Tang Guang not to disturb her unless it is something important.
Although it's quiet now, I'm a little bored.
Soaking in the hot spring, she suddenly started missing her older brother and her older sister, Xixi.
Actually, among all these older brothers, I only feel most relaxed and happiest when I'm with my little brother and my sister, Sisi.
Well, after the competition ends and I go back, it will be almost time for winter break. Then I can play with my older brother and sister Xixi to my heart's content.
As Xiao Ruanruan was thinking about what to do when she got back, she felt a gaze fixed on her.
To be precise, she had already felt that gaze the moment she came to soak in the hot spring.
But at the time, she didn't pay attention.
Since the people staying at the hotel are all here to participate in the Youth Science and Technology Competition, it's normal for others to be curious about her because they think she's too young and take a few extra glances at her.
However, it's not normal to stare at her for so long out of curiosity.
Little Ruanruan followed that gaze and saw an eight or nine-year-old boy with blond hair and blue eyes.
Little Ruanruan frowned slightly. The little boy stood up from the beach chair and walked towards her.
Little Ruan Ruan comfortably lay by the hot spring pool, waiting for him to approach.
The little boy walked up to her and squatted down. "Hello, my name is Bernie, and I am one of the contestants from country Y. I know you, Su Ruanruan."
Little Ruanruan wasn't surprised that Bernie knew her. After all, thanks to her extremely young age, almost all the contestants already knew that the youngest contestant from China was named Su Ruanruan, who was not even five years old.
However, Bernie's next words surprised Little Softie, who blinked her bright eyes in astonishment.
"I also know another talented girl from your country, her name is Chen Danqing."
Although Bernie's Mandarin was quite broken, Xiao Ruanruan was still a little surprised to hear him say Chen Danqing's name.
Most importantly, his way of expressing himself made it impossible for her to tell whether he was a friend or foe of Chen Danqing.
However, Xiao Ruanruan quickly felt relieved.
She hasn't even figured out whether she and Chen Danqing are friends or foes yet, so why should she care whether others are friends or foes to her!
She's very lazy now and doesn't want to use her brain too much.
So he asked directly, "Yes, you know Chen Danqing, so why are you looking for me?"
Bernie's deep blue eyes lit up when he heard her words, and his voice was filled with obvious excitement, "You know her too, don't you?"
Little Ruanruan nodded. "I know her."
This time, Bernie grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth. "Could you tell her for me that I'll go to China to find her?"
Looking at Bernie's solemn expression, Xiao Ruanruan suddenly had the idea that Bernie and Chen Danqing were a pair of lovers who had been separated.
The moment this thought popped into her head, Xiao Ruanruan quickly shook her head. What kind of nonsense was coming out of her head?
Little Softie smiled brightly and looked at Bernie, "Okay, I'll tell her when I get back."
