"Ruan Ruan, are you up yet?" A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of caution, sounded from outside the door.
Su Ruanruan, who had just put the brick-making machine back into the ragdoll's belly, was stunned for a moment.
This is……
The voice of my fourth brother.
She quickly rolled to the edge of the bed, and with a swish of her short, lotus-root-like legs, she jumped onto the thick, pink, pure wool carpet.
As he ran towards the door, he exclaimed excitedly, "Fourth Brother, wake up!"
As soon as the door opened, Su Yan was seen outside with his flamboyant light cherry pink hair. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he had some dark circles under his eyes, his hair was messy, and even his handsome face, which was so striking that it was impossible to look away, was slightly swollen.
Su Ruanruan was a little confused. Hadn't her fourth brother already left?
Why are you back again?
What's causing the redness and swelling on my face? Did my older brother hit me?
Su Ruanruan thought it was very likely; apart from her eldest brother, probably no one would dare to touch her arrogant and domineering fourth brother.
Su Yan looked down and met Su Ruanruan's bright eyes, and a feeling of regret began to fill his heart.
Without realizing it, he squatted down. "Ruanruan, I'm sorry, did it hurt when your brother kicked you?"
Su Ruanruan pouted and nodded seriously, "Yes, it hurts a lot. My little bottom is going to be bruised and battered."
Su Yan felt even more guilty and wanted to apologize, but he felt that a dry apology would be too insincere.
Just as he was struggling with this, Su Ruanruan's eyes lit up. "Can Fourth Brother hug Ruanruan? If Fourth Brother hugs me, Ruanruan won't feel pain anymore!"
The conflicted look on Su Yan's face immediately disappeared, and a feeling of gratitude spread through his heart. His older brother was right to hit him. How could he be such a bastard?
Little Ruanruan is so cute, yet he kicked her away.
He reached out and scooped the little dumpling into his arms, then walked downstairs while asking, "Ruan Ruan, you play the piano very well. Who did you learn from?"
"Huh?" Su Ruanruan looked at Su Yan in confusion, "Fourth Brother, how did you know I can play the piano?"
Su Yan told her everything about Cheng Yanqing coming to see her, and then asked, "Ruan Ruan, why did you go back to the restaurant to play the piano?"
"Because I want to treat Big Brother to a meal!" Su Ruanruan said very seriously, "I don't have any money, so I talked to Auntie Manager about it. I'll play a song in exchange for a meal for Big Brother and me."
Looking at Su Ruanruan's proud expression in his arms, Su Yan felt a little sour. His older brother was too shameless, actually making Ruanruan play the piano to treat him to a meal!
As they talked, they had already reached the living room downstairs.
In the living room, Su Yiqing was already chatting with Cheng Yanqing, and it was clear that the two were having a very pleasant conversation.
Seeing Su Yan carrying Su Ruanruan downstairs, Su Yiqing's face immediately turned cold. She stood up abruptly and snatched Su Ruanruan from Su Yan's arms. "Ruanruan, didn't Aunt Xiang wait for you to get up? Why did you let her carry you downstairs?"
Su Yan felt his hand go empty; that soft, plump feeling and the pleasant, milky scent vanished from him in an instant, leaving his heart empty as well.
He felt a strange mix of emotions, and hearing Su Yiqing's words made him even more uncomfortable. "Su Yiqing, I'm also Ruan Ruan's brother, why can't I hug her!"
Su Yiqing gave Su Yan a warning look, "I'm afraid you'll go crazy and kick my precious little sister away again."
Su Yan glanced at Elder Cheng out of the corner of his eye, his face turning pale and then red. He was so angry he felt like he was going to explode, but he couldn't refute it and felt extremely frustrated.
"Hahaha..." Old Cheng's laughter eased the tense atmosphere between the two. "Mr. Su, the way you brothers get along is truly enviable."
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Elder Cheng." Su Yiqing turned around and sat on the sofa, while Su Ruanruan sat on his lap.
"Ruanruan, this is Mr. Cheng Yanqing, a piano master from our country," Su Yiqing introduced to Su Ruanruan.
"Hello, Grandpa Cheng, I'm Su Ruanruan." Su Ruanruan's cute and innocent voice instantly made Cheng Yanqing smile.
"Hello, Ruanruan." Cheng Yanqing said with a smile, "Little Ruanruan, Grandpa saw a video of you playing the piano online and wanted to ask you who you learned the piano from?"
“Dean Mommy,” Su Ruanruan said without the slightest hesitation.
“Our Ruan Ruan went missing when she was one year old, and we only recently found her again. She grew up in an orphanage for the previous three years,” Su Yiqing explained when she saw that Cheng Yanqing was puzzled by Su Ruan Ruan’s words.
"Haha, I see." Cheng Yanqing continued, "So, which songs did the Dean teach Little Softie?"
"Little star, only Mommy is good in the world, Lupine Flower..." The little dumpling counted on his chubby hands, and then waved his whole chubby hand in front of Cheng Yanqing's eyes, "The Dean Mommy taught me a total of five songs!"
Cheng Yanqing initially thought that a piano master had secretly become the director of an orphanage and taught Su Ruanruan, his last disciple. However, when he heard that the five pieces that Ruanruan could name were nursery rhymes that were not even at the beginner level, his doubts deepened.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Who taught Ruan Ruan the piece she played at the restaurant that day?"
Little Ruanruan said earnestly, "Grandpa Cheng, no one taught Ruanruan that song. Ruanruan composed it herself!"
Cheng Yanqing's shock and surprise were clearly visible. When he watched the video, he thought Su Ruanruan's fingering was skillful and smooth, and her piano skills were very high. But he never expected that this little dumpling, who was only four years old, could already compose music on her own.
