Chapter 652: Unexpected Visitors
After a woman reaches 25, her body will show some aging changes to a greater or lesser extent. Even the most expensive cosmetics cannot resist the traces of time unless she exercises.
It is true that life lies in movement.
Running 10 kilometers is unimaginable for Liu Lan. She followed several newly-famous female internet celebrities who are all fitness experts with fit and sexy bodies. Their live broadcasts and short videos all show their fitness process in the gym. They are very popular among netizens and their number of fans is increasing rapidly.
Some well-known female stars often post pictures of themselves sweating while wearing tank tops while working out on Weibo, which their fans love to see.
Liu Lan's idea of beauty was still stuck on the impression of being as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind, quiet and elegant, and charming. In her time, if a woman ran long distances or rode a horse in public, she would be either regarded as an alien or a foreigner.
Although Liu Lan is thin, her figure is not perfect and certainly cannot be compared with those fitness internet celebrities; although she is young, she will be thirty years old one day. At that time, will she be able to maintain as good a shape as Chu Yu?
She felt that she should follow the trend, abandon her old ideas, and start exercising from now on, otherwise she, as an Internet celebrity, would be overtaken by other beauties and become outdated. However, it was unrealistic for her to run 10 kilometers at once, or even 5 kilometers, so she decided to start with 1 kilometer.
…
It took from morning to evening to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
...
...
With everyone's joint efforts, the round table in the villa restaurant was filled with a variety of delicacies that were no less delicious than those in a big hotel, including the "Year after Year of Abundance" mentioned above, braised lamb legs, chestnut roasted chicken, blanched shrimps... Almost all common meat dishes were on the table. Considering that girls love beauty and keep in shape, there were also several vegetarian dishes, as well as desserts such as red bean rice cakes, candied fruits and small glutinous rice balls. Of course, everyone's favorite - beef pie, Chu Yu steamed another basket of it in the evening as one of the staple foods.
Looking at these delicious foods, everyone's stomach started to stir. Even those who were not hungry felt hungry, and even cats were circling under the table.
As soon as they sat down, the doorbell rang.
Liu Lan stood up and said, "I'll go open the door." She thought Yu Zhan and Song Junzhe had arrived. They had already made a reservation in advance for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. The young ladies also knew about it and specially reserved two empty seats for the two of them.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Lan opened the door, she saw Tao Zhiwei!
She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Happy holidays."
Tao Zhiwei was influenced by her and also said, "Happy holidays."
He felt that his conversation with Liu Lan was very similar to the bland farewell words he gave to his employees before leaving the company the day before yesterday. That wasn't right. Why was he saying goodbye when he had just arrived?
Liu Lan asked hesitantly, "Are you here to take Sister Taozi home?"
Her thoughts were normal. Tonight was New Year's Eve, and slightly traditional families would gather together for a reunion dinner. Tao Zhiyao said that she had broken up with her parents, but Liu Lan was optimistic and thought that no parents would be so cruel to their own daughter.
Tao Zhiwei shook his head, his face showing an indescribable embarrassment.
"No, I want to spend the New Year with you."
Liu Man: “????”
What is going on?
Could it be that Tao Zhiwei was also kicked out by his parents?
Liu Lan didn’t know, and she didn’t dare to ask.
"Is it inconvenient for you if I come?" Tao Zhiwei actually looked at Liu Lan with the pitiful eyes of a homeless person, which frightened her so much that she quickly said,
"No, no, you are Sister Taozi's brother, which means you are our..." Uh, you can't use "friend" as "brother", Liu Man couldn't continue the polite words, "Well, welcome, please come in."
Tao Zhiwei's sudden appearance stunned everyone else in the restaurant. Tao Zhiyao even jumped up from his chair, "Brother, why are you here? Did my parents ask you to take me back?"
You see, they are indeed good friends. Their ideas, thoughts and even the syntax of their questions are the same!
The problem was that in front of everyone, how could Tao Zhiwei calmly tell everyone that he had a quarrel with his parents and almost ran away from home? He could even feel Yang Huayue's worried eyes on him.
