Lai Meiqi: "I knew it, it's not like his usual style."
Upon arriving on the first floor, Luo Luo sat upright on the sofa, holding a baby bottle in both hands and drinking milk.
After Luo Shimiao finished drinking her milk, she changed her diaper and clothes.
"Auntie, did I win?"
"I won, I won! All you think about is spicy strips all day long." She took off the colorful hair tie and used her fingers to straighten her soft hair.
Luo Luo sat obediently in her lap, her legs dangling leisurely under the sofa.
"Auntie braids her hair."
"Wait for your brother Niannian to do your hair; your aunt's haircuts aren't very pretty."
"Brother Niannian is a lazy pig."
A deep, pleasant voice came from the doorway: "Who's talking badly about me?"
"Pretty piggy." She jumped off the sofa and ran over excitedly, her pink skirt swaying in beautiful patterns.
"Put your hair in a braid."
Gu Nian looked down at the little boy clinging to his leg.
"You look like a little princess today." He squatted down and picked her up with one arm.
Luo Shimiao shoved the hair tie into the man's hand: "Lazy pig, braid your hair properly. I'm going to check if breakfast is ready."
Lai Meiqi was washing the dishes when she saw her come in. She raised her chin, gesturing for her to look over there.
"Our director seems a bit off."
She looked in the direction Lai Meiqi was looking and saw Zheng Xiaopeng sitting cross-legged in the yard, meditating, with a melodious and ethereal instrumental piece playing on his phone.
"You can become a monk by shaving the hair on both sides of your head."
A brownish-yellow figure flashed past, pounced on him, knocked him down, and licked the smooth top of his head with its tongue.
Zheng Xiaopeng was so angry that he yelled, "Yao Bin! Tell your dog to get out of the way!"
Yao Bin walked out slowly, hands in his pockets: "Sasa is thanking you for your recitation this morning."
"Disgusting! I don't want that kind of gratitude!"
Seeing that it was almost time, he waved to Sasa: "Sasa, come back."
Sasa let go of him and ran back to Yao Bin's side. Little Green flew over and landed on its head, rolling around on it.
Xiao Lü: "Handsome Xiao Bin, where's your assistant?"
“He’s been taking care of Sasa these past few days and he’s tired, so let him rest well today since he has the day off.”
“I think it’s Brother Sa who’s mentoring him.”
"Yao Bin, set the table." Lai Meiqi called out to him.
"Okay."
...
Luo Jianxing and Li Manshan arrived late while everyone was having breakfast.
Luo Shimiao sat on the wall, holding a steaming bowl of beef noodles.
"Oh, you've finally decided to come down."
Li Man pulled out a chair and sat down, her long, wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders. She yawned, looking languid.
"Miao, is this breakfast absolutely necessary? My phone is practically vibrating from all the emojis you've sent. If you had lived next door back then, I would have definitely gone over and given you a beating."
As Luo Jianxing served the noodles, he said, "That's right, we're sleeping soundly."
Sitting opposite him, Luo Luo noticed the red marks on his neck and blinked her big eyes, saying, "Uncle, your neck is all red."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on his neck, where several hickeys were imprinted on his fair skin.
Slender, pale fingers touched his neck, and Luo Jianxing forced a stiff smile: "Biten from mosquitoes. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain."
Luo Shimiao raised her voice and said, "Wow! The mosquitoes on the mountain are so big! You've been bitten so many times, does it hurt?"
Little Green: "How could it hurt? These large mosquitoes only bring pleasure, not pain. Master, don't you think so?"
“Disciple, you’re not human, so whatever you say is right.”
Um... although it's definitely not human, there's a certain feeling about it being subtly implied.
After breakfast, everyone stared at each other in the yard.
Zheng Xiaopeng stood up from the cushion he had brought, unfolded his folding fan, and fanned himself gently.
"How about I arrange some entertainment for you?"
Luo Shimiao sat on the osmanthus tree, a small twig between her teeth, and looked at him through the leaves, asking, "What kind of entertainment?"
"How about I sing and you guys dance for me?"
"Don't disturb me." She looked at the fanning herself. "Stop fanning yourself, aren't you cold?"
“I have a fire in my heart, I’m not cold.” Zheng Xiaopeng looked at Lai Meiqi and Yao Bin, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Lai Meiqi took out her phone and put it to her ear: "Hello, is there a business call? I'll check it right now."
Zheng Xiaopeng: "Meiqi, you're holding your phone upside down."
"It's okay, my phone is reversed, I'm not deaf."
"Director Zheng, Sasa didn't poop today, I'm going to take it outside for a walk." Yao Bin waved to it: "Let's go, let's go."
He put away his fan and stomped his foot on the floor: "You guys... sigh!" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the handsome man on the hanging chair. Remembering yesterday's agreement, his face lit up with joy, and he walked up to him.
"Shi Miao's brother, shall we take the picture?"
Luo Jianxing opened his eyes and said lazily, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't film. We can film another time." He closed his eyes, moved his head closer to Li Man's snow-white neck, and took a deep breath. It smelled so sweet.
"Oh, oh." Zheng Xiaopeng lowered his head and sighed repeatedly, as if he wanted to exhale all the anger in his heart.
Standing atop the hanging basket, Little Green saw Luo Jianxing's appearance and said, "Little Luo, you're not doing well. Your yang energy has been completely drained in such a short time. You're too weak. Master, you should make him some nourishing soup when you get back."
Li Man raised her hand and stroked the man's soft silver hair, her red lips curving slightly: "A Luo, Xiao Lü is right. When we get back, I'll make pigeon soup, and some parrot soup and some rooster soup for you to drink."
"Okay, it must be delicious." The arms around her slender waist tightened, and Luo Jianxing blew a breath into her neck: "Manman, do you think I'm weak?"
