Chapter 155 Returning to the Spirited Young Man He Once Was
"elder brother!"
As soon as Lou Yansui stepped outside, she saw her younger sister raising her little hand and running towards her with her short legs.
He couldn't help but smile, quickly walked towards Mao Mao, opened his arms, and caught his little sister in his arms.
"Mao Mao, you've been waiting outside for a long time, you must be bored." Lou Yansui said, "Sorry, there were a lot of questions, it took me a while to finish them."
Mao Mao shook her head: "I'm not bored. Auntie took me to see the school. Brother, your school is so beautiful, there are even little ducks!"
The first wife followed behind and asked, "Ah Sui, how did the exam go? Were the questions difficult?"
Mao Mao looked at him with concern.
Lou Yansui touched her nose, a little embarrassed: "The exam went very well. I was too nervous beforehand, and I made you all worry."
The first wife breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Now that the exam is over, you can rest assured."
"Um."
Mao Mao: "Brother is so amazing!"
"It's not that I'm good at it, it's just that the questions are very simple. I've already studied them at home."
Mao Mao's little face was serious: "Brother is amazing."
"Thank you, Mao Mao." Lou Yansui smiled and took her little sister's hand. "I've finished my exams. Are you hungry? Let's go get some cream cake."
"Yay!"
The first wife also took Mao Mao's other little hand, and the three of them walked together toward the school gate.
As we passed the scenic lake, a group of ducks, having finished swimming, climbed ashore, shook their feathers, and followed the lead duck in a long line, waddling forward.
Upon seeing this, Mao Mao hurriedly hid behind Lou Yansui, clutching his clothes with her little hands, her face filled with lingering fear.
"Mao Mao?" Lou Yansui asked, puzzled. Following her gaze, he saw only a flock of ducks and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, the duck wants to eat Mao Mao."
Lou Yansui was completely bewildered.
The first wife covered her mouth and turned her head away, suppressing her laughter, before explaining to him, "When you were taking your exam, Mao Mao went to feed the ducks and was chased by them."
Lou Yansui: "..."
Oh no, what if he feels like laughing just thinking about that scene?
Lou Yansui wiped her face to hide her smile, then stepped to the side to stand in front of her sister.
“Mao Mao, don’t be afraid, Fourth Brother will protect you.” He said, “If the ducks come to eat you, I will catch them.”
Without the fragrant bread rolls, the ducks didn't even glance at Mao Mao again, and soon waddled away from their sight.
Mao Mao was relieved and let go of her little hand that was holding her brother's clothes.
Fearing it might leave a psychological scar on her younger sister, Lou Yansui suggested, "How about we go to a French restaurant in the concession and have duck confit?"
Mao Mao's eyes lit up: "Eat duck?!"
"Or go to Juweilou and buy a roast duck."
"Roast Duck?"
"Pickled radish and old duck soup is also delicious."
"Duck soup!"
There's no psychological trauma left.
Mao Mao's heart was immediately filled with only longing for ducks.
To celebrate Lou Yansui's success in her exams, the three of them enjoyed a delicious lunch at a French restaurant in the concession area. They had the cream cake that Mao Mao had been craving, plus an extra piece of milk pudding, and a confit duck with a crispy, golden-brown crust.
After lunch, we went to the cinema to watch a newly released movie.
However, the newly released movie unexpectedly had some horror elements. In the dimly lit theater, a pale face flashed across the screen, scaring Mao Mao so much that she buried her head in her brother's arms, her round little body trembling.
Lou Yansui quickly covered her eyes and ears.
Before the movie even finished, Mao Mao became her brother's lapdog, clinging to him with both arms and legs, refusing to get down. Afraid of frightening his sister again, Lou Yansui quickly carried her out of the movie theater.
After going outside, I quickly bought a roasted sweet potato at the door to calm Mao Mao's nerves.
"I'm sorry, Mao Mao, I didn't know there were scary scenes in this movie." Lou Yansui immediately felt annoyed: "I should have learned about the plot first before taking you to see it."
Mao Mao held a roasted sweet potato in one hand and clung to her brother's leg with the other.
At this moment, she didn't even care about eating the roasted sweet potato, and kept turning her little head to look behind her.
Mao Mao looked scared: "Brother, will ghosts come after us?"
Lou Yansui: "There are no ghosts, Mao Mao. This is a suspense film about a murder case."
"No ghosts?"
"No."
Mao Mao immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "There are no ghosts."
Then Mao Mao can rest assured!
She immediately opened her mouth wide, showed off the roasted sweet potato, and then licked her lips with lingering satisfaction: "Brother, Mao Mao wants to eat duck too."
"I'll buy them all for you!"
Not only did I buy a roast duck that was glistening with oil from being roasted in the oven, but I also bought a braised duck that was glistening with oil from being soaked in brine. When I got home, I even asked the kitchen to make a pot of old duck soup.
When they got home, they received a call from Haicheng Middle School.
The teacher on the other end of the phone beamed: "Lou Yansui got full marks in every exam. Not only in our school, but in the whole of Haicheng, this is an outstanding achievement! We warmly welcome Lou Yansui to study here!"
Lou Yansui held the microphone, listened to what was being said on the other end, and hummed in agreement several times.
He turned around and saw several ladies leaning out of the small living room, piled on top of each other, listening intently to what was happening.
Mao Mao clung to the doorframe, her eyes wide open, standing with her mothers, anxiously listening to the news.
Lou Yansui looked away and listened to the contents of the phone call: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
He hung up the phone and gave a big smile to the wives behind him who were waiting for news.
"I passed!"
The ladies immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great!"
Mao Mao happily spun around in place, cheering, "Brother is awesome!"
"I knew it! Our Fourth Young Master is incredibly smart. How could he not handle an entrance exam?" The Third Concubine said, beaming. "This is a joyous occasion and we should celebrate!"
The second concubine immediately went to the kitchen: "I'll go and have someone make some more delicious food."
Old Madam Lou, leaning on her cane, smiled broadly and said, "Good, good."
First wife: "School's starting soon, have you prepared everything? Should I have someone go buy it?"
The first wife couldn't hide her joy, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
More than a year has passed since Lou Yansui's accident. During this time, she watched her youngest son become increasingly negative and depressed, falling into despair, and then watched him pull himself together and emerge from the shadows. Despite being the youngest son, he suffered the most pain.
Now, Lou Yansui has returned to school, once again the spirited young man he once was. She saw all the hardships he had endured along the way.
The first wife turned her back and quickly pressed the corner of her eye.
Noticing the glistening tears in her eyes, Xia Xiaoxiang took a light breath and said in a relaxed tone, "Haicheng Middle School, I've even heard of it, it's very famous. Fourth Young Master is truly remarkable."
Lou Yansui was initially only a little happy, but seeing his family members' outward joy, he was also infected by it. After thinking for a moment, he added, "The teachers at school said that I got full marks in every subject."
"Perfect scores on everything?!"
"That's amazing!"
Lou Yansui scratched his chin: "It's alright, the questions were just relatively simple."
Even if it's the simplest, it's still a perfect score, and a perfect score in every subject!
More than a year later, the wives recalled how they felt when they saw his report card.
From childhood to adulthood, Lou Yansui has always been far ahead in her studies, ranking first every year. Every time she takes an exam, she makes her whole family extremely proud.
This deserves a celebration, a huge celebration!
