Finally they got home in the middle of the night. Xue Huanyu had already had several nightmares. When they finally got home, she refused to get out of the car, and Xue Wangjun had to carry her upstairs.
Xue Jiayu returned to the room and finally brought Xue Huanyu back. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to the Zhan family and knocked on the door early the next morning.
It was Jiang Peirong who opened the door. She knew that the Xue family had had some changes recently. Seeing Xue Jiayu's sunny and smiling face, she happily touched Xue Jiayu's face and said, "Are you here to see Brother Nanqi so early in the morning? He hasn't woken up yet."
"Then I'll go up!"
"Well, go ahead."
Jiang Peirong looked at her back lovingly as Xue Jiayu skipped up the stairs.
Zhan Nanqi didn't close the door properly, and when Xue Jiayu walked to the door, she happened to see his sleeping face.
"Brother Nanqi?"
She walked closer and called him softly, but Zhan Nanqi was still sleeping soundly. Xue Jiayu couldn't bear to disturb his sweet dream, so she was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Zhan Nanqi.
"What are you doing?"
"Brother Nanqi."
Xue Jiayu was suddenly speechless and his brain froze for two seconds.
"I came to you to make a model."
Zhan Nanqi obviously didn't look like he had woken up yet, but he still rubbed his hair and opened his sleepy eyes.
"Give me five minutes."
"……good."
Xue Jiayu rarely saw Zhan Nanqi like this. Most of the time, Zhan Nanqi gave people a cold and distant feeling, but Zhan Nanqi who had just woken up looked like a cute little boy, and his expression was still very ignorant.
She looked around and could not sit on Zhan Nanqi's bed, and the chair was also piled with books, so she had to sit on the floor.
Zhan Nanqi came out of the bathroom and saw her sitting on the ground with the sunlight just falling on her head. His heart softened for a moment and his voice became gentle unconsciously.
"Why are you sitting on the ground?"
"I dare not sit on your bed. I'm afraid of making it dirty." Xue Jiayu stuck out her tongue. Although she was joking, Zhan Nanqi heard it.
He directly pulled Xue Jiayu up and pressed her to sit on the bed, "It's not like you haven't sat before."
Xue Jiayu smiled secretly. She hadn't been to Zhan Nanqi's room for a long time. Her mother said that she was grown up now and could no longer go to Zhan Nanqi and Gu Yuan's room casually.
In the words of adults, this is called "moderation".
On the table was a half-made model by Zhan Nanqi.
Xue Jiayu curiously reached out and touched it, "Does this need to be glued together?"
"Yes. I'm preparing to glue it."
"Then what should I do? Can I be responsible for gluing it?"
Zhan Nanqi saw her eager expression and silently handed her the glue.
Zhan Nanqi was making a moving device. He was responsible for the overall structure, while Xue Jiayu was responsible for making the moving ball.
The main focus is on fighting against Southern Qi, with Xue Jiayu as the auxiliary.
Halfway through, she suddenly had an idea, "Brother Nanqi, we can actually record the production process."
“How to record it?”
"Record it!"
Xue Jiayu went downstairs to find Jiang Peirong, "Aunt Jiang, do you have a camera at home?"
"Yes, I have."
Cameras are the latest and most fashionable thing nowadays, so how could the Zhan family not have one?
Jiang Peirong immediately found a brand new camera from the TV cabinet and handed it to Xue Jiayu, "Try this and see if it works. I originally bought it to record Nan Qi's growth, but he doesn't want to take pictures, so I have to put it aside for now."
"Then use it today!"
Xue Jiayu winked at Jiang Peirong, then turned around and went upstairs with the camera.
Although Jiang Peirong didn't know what she was going to do, she didn't stop her.
Xue Jiayu took back the camera, pressed the power button, placed it on the table and recorded them.
Zhan Nanqi felt a little awkward facing the camera and turned his head away.
"Turn it off."
"Why? I'm not filming you. I'm just recording our production process."
Xue Jiayu opened her eyes wide and looked like, "I'm serious, please believe me."
Zhan Nanqi wanted to force her to turn it off, but seeing her expression, he gave up.
Just take the photos, you won’t send them out anyway.
He lowered his head and continued to glue the model, and Xue Jiayu quietly moved the camera towards him.
The camera recorded Zhan Nanqi's serious expression, his thin lips pursed together, outlining a serious line.
After Xue Jiayu finished the part with her hands, she showed it to the camera.
Zhan Nanqi was still working on his part. Xue Jiayu quietly picked up the camera to film Zhan Nanqi's movements. For some complicated movements, Xue Jiayu zoomed in the lens.
She had a hunch that these videos would come in handy.
After two hours of work, it was finally finished.
The moment he pressed the end button, Xue Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Nanqi, when we submit our works, we will also submit this video. We will definitely win a prize."
Zhan Nanqi wiped his hands and said, "It doesn't matter."
He is not very interested in winning awards, but since he has done this, he must finish it well.
Xue Jiayu went downstairs happily. Jiang Peirong had just prepared lunch and quickly called her to come and eat.
"Come on, Xiaobao, Auntie's cooking is not good, just eat whatever you want."
"What's wrong with it!" Xue Jiayu took a deep breath, "It smells so good!"
This reaction made Jiang Peirong very happy, and she kept picking food for her.
"Then you should eat more. Oh, come, let Auntie help you serve the rice."
Xue Jiayu sat next to Zhan Nanqi. Seeing that he only ate vegetables but not meat, she put on a stern face and taught him, "Brother Nanqi, how can you be so picky about food? You can't just eat vegetables and not meat. Come on, have some beef."
Zhan Nanqi acted as if he didn't hear anything and went straight to pick up some food. Xue Jiayu stood up and put a large piece of beef into his bowl.
"Eat quickly."
Zhan Nanqi frowned and was about to pick it out, but Xue Jiayu held his hand.
"Don't take it out, eat it quickly."
Xue Jiayu felt a little regretful after she said it. Was her tone too harsh?
But to her surprise, Zhan Nanqi just frowned, said nothing else, and just focused on eating the beef in the bowl.
“Oh my god…”
This was totally beyond Jiang Peirong's expectations. She was ready to stop the fight, but she didn't expect Zhan Nanqi to be so well-behaved in front of Xue Jiayu. As soon as she got angry, he ate everything.
Jiang Peirong secretly gave Xue Jiayu a thumbs up. Xue Jiayu smiled and took the initiative to supervise Zhan Nanqi's meal.
For the first time, Zhan Nanqi finished a whole bowl of rice with a lot of meat and vegetables. Jiang Peirong waited until he left the table before grabbing Xue Jiayu's hand and saying excitedly, "Auntie has wanted to tell him about his picky eating for a long time, but because of his special situation, I have never dared to say it. Xiaobao, can you come to Auntie's house for dinner more often in the future? Auntie likes you to come!"
Xue Jiayu shook her little head and patted her chest to assure him, "Auntie, from now on, Brother Nanqi's picky eating will be my responsibility. I'll take care of it!"
"Okay, okay."
Jiang Peirong was reluctant to let Xue Jiayu go home, so she took her home to make cookies together.
Xue Jiayu also thought it was fun and agreed without thinking too much.
The Xue family was waiting for her to come back for dinner, especially Xue Huanyu.
She had just returned and was still a little embarrassed. If Xue Jiayu wasn't around, she would feel even more uncomfortable. She would ask Jiang Qiuyi every three to five minutes, "When will my sister be back?"
