Her body was turned around, and the clothes on her chest were pulled tighter.
Chen Ji released his large hand from her waist and directly buttoned up his coat.
Because of different heights, the scenery seen is different. She herself couldn't see it, but Chen Ji clearly knew what she looked like in her nightgown.
They had absolutely no sense of precaution.
Xu Ruantang: "......"
She was wearing Chen Ji's coat, and now she looked like a silkworm wrapped up in a cocoon, with her hands hanging down inside the clothes.
"Third Brother."
Li Shuyang lowered his eyes and gave a muffled greeting.
Chen Ji gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Let me introduce you, this is your third sister-in-law."
After saying that, before Li Shuyang could speak, Chen Ji looked at the thing in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
"This is something my sister gave to Sister-in-law Xu... Third Sister-in-law."
Chen Ji stretched out his long arm and took it.
Xu Ruantang looked over curiously and found that they were basic books on sketching and introductory books on traditional Chinese painting.
“My sister said that my third sister-in-law can take a look first, and she will bring you the pencils, drawing board and other tools in a couple of days.”
Li Shuyang, who used to be a very sunny person, was now looking downcast and exuding a decadent aura.
"Okay, please thank your sister for me. I'll go find her later."
Xu Ruantang smiled slightly, her voice soft.
She hadn't expected Li Shuhe to be so considerate, but something felt off, so she said:
"Why don't you two chat first, and I'll go pack my things?"
She turned and went inside, but Chen Ji was still blocking the doorway, standing there like a mountain, showing no intention of letting the guest in to sit down.
"I'll prepare the tools for her; just tell your sister she doesn't need them."
Chen Ji's face was cold and indifferent, and his tone was devoid of warmth.
Li Shuyang knew his excuse was clumsy, and nodded sheepishly. Only when he saw it with his own eyes would his heart finally shatter into pieces.
It's a pity that he was so young, and his first love ended before it even began. Right now, I just want to hug Chen Ji and cry.
Regardless of whether it's an iceberg or not, he feels like he can't get over this mountain.
After seeing Li Shuyang off, Xu Ruantang went upstairs to change her clothes, and Chen Ji followed her up.
"Wait a moment, I'll leave after I change my clothes."
Xu Ruantang finished speaking with a smile, and then closed the bedroom door in front of Chen Ji.
Chen Ji: "......"
That's not what he meant; he wanted her to stay away from Li Shuyang.
The Chen family all lived in the compound, not far from the Li family, but far from the regimental headquarters family compound where Chen Ji lived.
On Saturday morning, the courtyard was bustling with people, and you could run into an acquaintance every few steps.
Xu Ruantang watched Chen Ji nod as he walked past, wondering if he would shake his jaw off.
"Chen Ji, you're back?"
"Um."
"Is he bringing his wife home?"
"right."
"Hey, hurry up, your grandma's been talking about you for ages, she'll be so happy to see you."
Xu Ruantang was tired of hearing this kind of conversation all the way, but Chen Ji remained expressionless, replying mechanically like a robot.
Xu Ruantang sometimes wondered if there was anything in this world that could make him lose control of his emotions. She wondered what such a cold and aloof man was like when he laughed or cried.
"You want to learn to draw?"
Chen Ji suddenly spoke up, and Xu Ruantang turned to look at him, slowly replying, "Yes, I've liked it since I was little, but my family didn't have the means, so I never got to learn it."
From the moment Li Shuyang brought the book over, she had already prepared her answer, knowing that Chen Ji would definitely ask.
"Yes, if you like it, then learn it. I'll take you to buy art supplies another day. You don't need to ask the Li siblings."
Chen Ji's tone was somewhat stiff, but unfortunately Xu Ruantang didn't notice and foolishly nodded in agreement.
The two arrived at the Chen family home at exactly eleven o'clock.
Chen Zheng and Tang Wan were sitting together in the living room, chatting quietly, leaning slightly closer to each other.
The two of them sitting together looked like a painting; the man was gentle and refined, and the woman was dignified and elegant. They looked like a couple who respected each other.
Hearing footsteps, the two looked up at the same time. Chen Zheng stood up first, smiling modestly, and said, "You're back."
He walked over and took the things from Chen Ji's hands. Tang Wan also came over and pulled Xu Ruantang to sit down on the sofa. "Sit down. What would you like to drink? Tea or water, or soda? We have some at home. I'll get it for you."
Tang Wan was just as her name suggested; her smile was very gentle, which made Xu Ruantang feel comfortable. She quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I'll just have some water."
"I'm back!"
The tone was authoritative yet tinged with a hint of reproach; Xu Ruantang knew who it was without even looking up.
She had just stood up from the sofa when she was pressed back down. The old lady smiled and said, "Sit down. You must be tired from walking all the way. Here, have some fruit."
The old lady picked up an apple from the table and was about to peel it for Xu Ruantang, without even glancing at Chen Ji standing next to her.
"Ee~" The third tone sounded so cute and innocent.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Aunt Wang holding Xiao Bao. When she saw Chen Ji, she tilted her head and called out.
The tense atmosphere instantly changed because of that childish shout.
Aunt Wang walked to Chen Ji's side, and Xiao Bao automatically opened his arms and snuggled into Chen Ji's arms.
"Xiao Bao, call me Daddy."
Aunt Wang and the old lady had been teaching Xiaobao for a long time, and now it was time to test their results. "Quick, this is Dad, say Dad."
Xu Ruantang was also watching. She had taught Xiaobao many times before, occasionally taking the opportunity to say a few words, but perhaps the child was too young and never opened his mouth.
Sure enough, it was the same this time.
