Four years later, the Gu family.
A man's voice came from the peach grove in the front yard.
"Let's go back to our room. It wouldn't be good if we were seen here."
"Don't move, just hang in there a little longer, it'll be done soon." Luo Shimiao stood in front of the easel, holding a pencil and drawing intently.
In front of her, Gu Nian leaned against a tree trunk, her upper body naked, wearing a black and gold horse-face skirt, and a jade gourd hanging from her waist.
What's most striking is his blond hair. Sunlight filters through the treetops and falls on his face, giving him a cool, aloof look, like a manga protagonist straight out of an anime.
As Luo Shimiao drew, she said, "Xixi won't wake up so soon. Let's go shopping after I finish drawing, okay?"
"Oh no!" a childish voice rang out.
Not far behind her stood a pretty little girl with two buns in her hair. A green parrot was perched on her shoulder.
She raised an eyebrow in surprise, turned around, and greeted her daughter with a smile: "Hi, Xixi, why are you up so early today?"
Gu Xi held Luo Shimiao's phone in both hands and walked towards her unhurriedly: "Aunt Luo called you. She said that you were photographed by paparazzi kissing a young man on the street yesterday, and it's already trending on social media."
"A spirited young man?" Luo Shimiao's lips twitched, and he subconsciously looked at Gu Nian.
"Damn it! My husband is clearly a blond warrior, okay? What kind of 'spirited young man' is this? Speechless!" She had to coax Gu Nian for a long time before he finally agreed to dye his hair.
Gu Xi came up to Luo Shimiao, looked up at her, and had a faint smile on her innocent face: "Mommy, you swore again."
"Express civility, purify your soul; no swearing, no fighting, be civilized and courteous..."
"Stop!" Luo Shimiao stuck out two fingers to cover her ears, took a deep breath, and said, "Gu Xi, you're my daughter, not my mother, OK? Other kids are being pampered in their mothers' arms, and you're being lectured in my arms!"
She rubbed her temples. He looked just like her, but his personality was completely different. Giving birth to a little old-fashioned person was really giving her a headache.
Gu Nian took the white short-sleeved shirt off the tree and put it on before walking over to "rescue" his wife. He knelt down and picked up his daughter: "Xi Xi, what else did Aunt Luo say?"
Gu Xi handed the phone to Luo Shimiao and said, "Aunt Luo asked Mommy to post an explanation on Weibo."
Luo Shimiao took the phone and pinched his daughter's chubby cheek: "Received, my little darling."
Instead of posting on Weibo, she went live.
In less than a minute, a large number of netizens flooded into the live stream.
Is that energetic young man your new love? These paparazzi photos these days are so unprofessional; the quality looks like they were taken with a landline camera—you can't even see a face clearly.
[Before the seven-year itch even arrived, she cheated on him; poor Gu Nian was cuckolded.]
[Luo Shimiao, only a few years have passed, how come men's standards have become so low? There are plenty of young, handsome men in the entertainment industry, why did you have to choose this blond guy!]
[Say something! Did you really cheat on me?]
Luo Shimiao looked at the comments and sighed speechlessly: "The spirited young man you're talking about is right next to me now. I'll show you his true face." The camera then focused on Gu Nian's face.
[Hi, blond-haired handsome guy, I didn't call you blond.]
In that instant, my heart shattered into a QR code.
[It turns out the blond-haired young man the marketing accounts were talking about was Gu Nian; they really are just spreading rumors with a mouth.]
The moment his face was revealed, the nickname changed from "energetic young man" to "handsome guy."
Blonde hair paired with a cool, aloof face—absolutely stunning!
[The child Gu Nian is holding must be their daughter; she's so cute and chubby. Although we can't see her face, with both parents being so good-looking, their child would definitely be stunning.]
[I can almost smell the milky scent through the screen. I'll send it over so my aunt can hug it.]
[Huh? Why haven't any directors approached Luo Shimiao to film a parent-child variety show?]
I heard he approached her, but she rejected him every time.
Seeing many netizens in the comments section suggesting she film a parent-child variety show, Luo Shimiao turned the camera back and said, "Xixi is about to start kindergarten, so I'm not considering a parent-child variety show for now. That's all for today's live stream, bye~" After saying that, she turned off the live stream and shoved her phone into her pants pocket.
Gu Nian gently ruffled her hair and chuckled, "Will you dye my hair again next time?"
"Dye it! Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—I'll give you them all!"
Gu Xi blinked and asked seriously, "Mommy, will Daddy go bald?"
Just as she was about to answer her daughter, a male voice interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"Miaomiao, your third brother has an important task for you." Luo Jianxing was holding a baby who looked about two years old and was sucking on a pacifier.
Beside him was the stunningly beautiful Li Man; four years had left no trace on them.
Luo Jianxing shoved his son into her arms: "Today is my wedding anniversary with Manman, so please take care of the little crybaby for us."
Li Man put her hand on Luo Shimiao's shoulder: "Miaomiao, aren't we best sisters?"
She nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
"I'll leave that little crybaby to you. I'm confident you can handle him!" She and Luo Jianxing exchanged a glance.
The two held hands and turned to run.
The next second, a heart-wrenching cry rang out from Luo Shimiao's arms.
"Don't cry, Xiao Heng. Mom and Dad are just going out to play for a while. We'll be back soon."
She should have kept quiet, because once she started talking, her crying became even louder.
"Waaaaaaah..."
Luo Shimiao grabbed the little green chick from her daughter's shoulder: "Here's a chick for you to play with."
Little Green: "......"
