Chapter 33 He didn't want to do it so early
Mianli remained motionless as he was supposed to be guarding Tao Yingjia.
Zhuo Can was right beside Him, keeping watch.
Naturally, Lu Song had no choice but to stay.
The lawn was still bustling with people, but only the three of them stood still, like decorative sculptures.
Unexpectedly, it was Qi Rui who broke the silence first, waving at them: "Hey, Caner, Mr. Tao said his son is in the same nursery class as Xiaoli?"
Zhuo Can had no choice but to walk over: "Hey... yes, yes, hello."
Mr. Tao shook his hand. "I've heard Xiaojia talk about this several times. What a beautiful child."
Adults have their own set of rules for socializing, including when dealing with superiors, subordinates, and colleagues at the same level.
Getting along with your child’s friends and parents is another level.
This kind of thing should have been cultivated from a young age, but Zhuo Can "took over" the little fairy purely by accident, and now the parents of both parties came to meet unexpectedly, and he was at a loss.
Fortunately, Lu Song interrupted in time: "Xiao Li is also attending the nursery class for the first time. If he is too naughty, please bear with him."
"No, no, we should ask for more advice. How can we raise such a well-behaved child? Oh, you are Xiaoli's..."
"Oh, I'm a friend of the guardian. My last name is Lu."
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
…
In the business world, Lu Song is very adept at saying different things to different people and different things to different people.
On the other hand, Zhuo Can has not yet adjusted his state.
Mrs. Tao laughed. "Our little Jia doesn't really like to play with his peers. When he comes back from daycare, all he tells us about is his sister or something he did for the teacher. Xiaoli is the first time he's mentioned a friend."
"Uh, haha, it's the same in our family."
"I haven't asked yet, what's your last name?"
"Zhuo, just call me Xiao Zhuo."
"Mr. Zhuo is so young, he's just a child..."
"Brother." Zhuo Can certainly couldn't say that he was a temporary nanny, taking advantage of Kamisama. "He's a distant relative, I'll take care of him for a while."
How to face the parents of other people's children is more stressful than reporting to the superiors.
Since they were classmates in the nursery class and had literally slept in the same bed, the Tao couple happily invited Mianli and Zhuocan to have a chat, and also brought Lu Song along.
What a wonderful meeting between the two families.
A clean blanket was spread under the awning, and little Taomian was put down and crawled around at their feet.
A baby's curiosity about the world can contain all the question marks in printed books.
Tao Yingjia pretended to be watching her sister intently, but in fact she was secretly paying attention to every move of Mian Li.
The little fairy leaned against Zhuo Can, drawing circles on the ground with his feet out of boredom, not looking at him.
Tao Yingjia squatted down and whispered to her sister, "Go find Him, okay?"
The baby was not yet old enough to understand what was being said, so he stretched out his little hands to grab his brother's ears and giggled.
Tao Yingjia picked her up with all her strength, walked to the opposite side of Mianli, held Tao Mian's hand and shook it: "...She wants to see you."
Mianli raised his eyes to look at him with a fierce look.
Zhuo Can took a moment from the adults' conversation to lower his head and patted Mian Li: "Go, go play with the kids."
Mianli snorted and turned away: "Lili doesn't want to play with him!"
Tao Yingjia's ears turned red because of such a blunt rejection, but he did not back down, standing there stubbornly: "Yes, it is Mianmian who wants to play with you, not me."
Mianli said, "I am also Mianmian."
"Then play with her."
"don't want."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not Mianmian, I'm Lili."
The child's speech was incoherent and illogical, but Mrs. Tao saw through her son's disguise and took the baby from his arms: "Okay, stop bothering your little sister. Go play with your friends."
She winked at Tao Yingjia and whispered, "If you want others to like you, you have to be sincere."
The blush on Tao Yingjia's ears gradually spread to her cheeks, and she looked like a ripe apple.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly took Mianli's hand: "...Yes, I want to play with you!"
Mian Li was shocked by his bold and presumptuous behavior and shouted angrily, "Li Li, I don't want to play with you! You bad Jia Jia!"
He wanted to pull his hand free, but the boy, who was a year older than him, was much stronger. He pulled him and turned around and ran: "Go over there! I'll blow up the balloon for you!"
Mian Li's reserve could not last at all, and she was captured by the word "balloon".
Two little children were walking among the crowd, and one of them was flapping its wings as if it wanted to melt into the spring breeze.
Zhuo Can watched his child being abducted like this: "..."
Oh God, he doesn't want to experience the bitterness of marrying off his daughter so early!
*
There is one last important step before the wedding ends: the bride tosses the bouquet.
Xiaohui stood back on the ceremony platform with her back to the audience. There were many young men and women standing below, some of them were couples, all wanting to receive such good luck in love.
Qi Rui poked Zhuo Can: "Go quickly!"
His own major life events have been settled, and he is worried about his friend who is still elusive.
Zhuo Can retreated repeatedly: "I don't even have a girlfriend, so I won't get involved in this."
Qi Rui said: "Maybe if you pick it up, you'll meet love around the corner."
“No, no, no…”
However, Lu Song pulled him up without hesitation: "It's always good to have a little luck."
Zhuo Can stumbled after them, feeling as if he had seen this scene of one person pulling the other along while running somewhere before.
Xiaohui turned her head several times to confirm, and only turned around after making sure that Zhuo Can, who had arrived late, was in place.
The emcee cleared his throat and said, "It's about to begin. I'll count to three, two, one!"
The audience was noisy: "Give it to me, give it to me!"
"You must throw it to me! I'm going to use this to propose to my girlfriend!"
"Wake up, you don't have a girlfriend."
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"three--"
"two--"
"one--!!"
An elegant bouquet of flowers, with a bunch of abrupt bright tulips in between, drew a beautiful parabola in the air.
The people below rushed forward.
Finally, it fell steadily into Lu Song's hands.
The emcee invited him to the stage: "This handsome guy, so good-looking, must have a girlfriend, right?"
Lu Song smiled faintly: "No, I'm still single."
The emcee asked, "Oh? Ladies, did you hear that? The handsome guy is still single!"
The audience laughed at the right time.
The emcee then asked, "Do you have a crush on someone?"
Lu Song glanced at Zhuo Can who was not far from him.
The latter also looked at him, his eyes full of expectation - that was the expectation of pure gossip.
Not the kind he wanted.
Lu Song sighed in his heart: "...No."
After stepping down from the stage, Lu Song gave the bouquet to Zhuo Can.
Zhuo Can refused: "Why would I need this when I'm alone? Give it to another girl."
"Just consider it good luck." Lu Song made an excuse, "A wedding bouquet is not just about love, it's also about all-around good luck."
Zhuo Can had no doubts: "Since it's good luck, just keep it for yourself."
"No." Lu Song took a deep breath. "I just lied on the stage. I have...someone I like, but even if I get the bouquet, he won't know my feelings."
Zhuo Can was surprised: "What kind of girl has such high requirements that she doesn't even like you?"
Lu Song smiled bitterly.
Zhuo Can was finally able to tease Lu Song in return: "Who wouldn't like Mr. Lu, who is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom wherever he goes?"
Lu Song smiled and shook his head, not continuing the topic.
If one day "she" really knows my feelings, will she still feel that I am loved by everyone, or will she feel that everyone should avoid me?
On the other side, the bride and groom were whispering.
Xiaohui: "Do you feel..."
Qi Rui: “Ah?”
Xiao Hui: "Mr. Lu, aren't you being too nice to Xiao Zhuo?"
Qi Rui: "Because Can'er is a good person."
Xiaohui: "That's not what I meant... Never mind."
Qi Rui: "What's wrong?"
Xiaohui: "Nothing."
The silly straight guy didn’t see it, but Xiaohui noticed it.
Just now, the host invited Lu Song to come up, and she saw who he was looking at when he was asked "Do you have someone you like?"
She had previously watched the replay of the wedding video, and she also noticed that when she and Qi Rui exchanged the vows of "staying together for life and never leaving each other", Lu Song kept looking at someone.
As for the person being stared at, he was so moved that he burst into tears, and even used the soft little wings on Mian Li's clothes to wipe his tears.
Then, of course, the little fairy flapped its wings away in dissatisfaction.
She was almost certain that Mr. Lu must have something against Xiao Zhuo.
But she was even more certain that the dull Xiao Zhuo felt nothing.
*
Since morning, or strictly speaking, since last night, this major event has finally come to an end.
Not only is it important for the newlyweds, today is also a big day for Zhuo Can: in addition to seeing his two best friends walk down the aisle, he also opened up his baby's social circle for the first time.
Mianli made a bunch of balloons and wanted to take them all home. Zhuo Can persuaded him to give away some of them after much persuasion.
They walked to the parking lot and as usual, Lu Song took them home.
Before leaving, Tao Yingjia ran over again and stuffed something into Mianli's hand: "This is for you!"
Without waiting for Mianli to respond, he hurriedly said "Goodbye, brother" to the adults and ran away.
Mianli lowered his head and opened his palm, which contained a few candies.
A few days ago in the nursery class, he wanted to eat the kind of candy that had already been eaten by other children.
Unexpectedly, Tao Yingjia actually carried it with him and specially came to give it to Him.
The little god felt something was strange.
Although they can all be summarized as "partners", Tao Yingjia is different from others to Him.
Unlike the loyal Olier.
Different from the gentle Zhuo Can.
Unlike the careful Xiaohui.
Different from the carefree Qi Rui.
Different from the nagging Zhizhi.
Different from the aloof Taotao.
It is also different from Lu Song who was raised high.
Different from Teacher Min, Tao Mian, and other children in the nursery class...
Tao Yingjia is different, different from everyone else.
He held the candy in his palm, looked in the direction where Tao Yingjia left, and smelled the sweetness in the air.
I still don’t know how to define young feelings, but the feeling of “special” has already planted a small seed in my heart.
The author has something to say:
Love begins with something special
