âI brought Yiyi to the shop this morning and bought some lollipops.â
âI said I wanted to get her some candy, so she followed me along.â
Jiang Xuyan didnât say anything more. He let go of the little girlâs hand and went straight to the living room to get a bag of lollipops.
The little girl stopped crying when she got the lollipop. She didnât even care where she was.
The group of people didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âTeacher Jiang, are you being scammed?â Tang Zinian complained. âOne can
get a lollipop or something by stepping on youâ¦â
This sentence stunned the little girl who was eating the lollipop for a moment.
Then, she looked up at Jiang Xuyan.
âWhatâs wrong?â Jiang Xuyan didnât understand.
Immediately after, everyone saw the little girl run up to Jiang Xuyan and step on him without hesitation. She also looked at Jiang Xuyan with anticipation⦠at the lollipop in his hand.
âPfft-â
Tang Zinian was the first to laugh, followed by Song Qingyou and the others.
Jiang Xuyan was so angry that he could only give the little girl another lollipop. âIf you want candy, you donât have to-â
Before he could say the word âstep on meâ, the little girl kicked his shoe again. âHahahaâ¦â This time, everyone present could not hold back their laughter. Especially when the little girl tugged at Jiang Yiâs sleeve, signaling for him to come with her.
âIt seems like she knows that she canât eat alone. She has to share it with other children.â
Jiang Xuyan was speechless.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi was only surprised: I donât understand, but Iâin shocked.ypg
He didnât really step on him.
Just as Jiang Xuyan heaved a sigh of relief and was about to reason with the little girl, Jiang Haha, who was following behind them, suddenly walked over. He raised his dog paw and hit Jiang Xuyanâs shoe.
Then, he looked straight at Jiang Xuyan.
His eyes were still as intelligent as ever.
This time, even Qingyou couldnât keep her expression and burst out laughing.
Tang Zinian laughed so hard that he almost fell on Zhao Yingnan.
Even so, he restrained his laughter and said, âJiang Hahaâs learning ability is really strong!â
Jiang Xuyan looked at the two little radishes in front of him and then looked at Jiang Haha. He couldnât get angry even if he wanted to.
âIf you want to eat lollipops, you can ask me, but you canât deliberately step on others, understand?â
The little girl blinked as if she didnât understand.
âYiyi, what do you think?â Jiang Xuyan asked.
âItâs not right to step on other peopleâs feet,â Jiang Yi said after thinking for a while.
Since her âlittle friendâ had said so, the little girl immediately admitted her mistake. âBig Brother, Iâm sorry.â
âYou should call him Uncle.â Jiang Yi corrected.
âUncle, Iâm sorry.â
After the little girl apologized, she looked at Jiang Yi again. âIâm Yinyin. Whatâs your name? Iâve never seen you before!â
âMy name is Yiyi.â
Jiang Yi still remembered that Xu Mingrui had told him not to share his full name.
âIs this your home?â The little girl looked at the courtyard.
âItâs not.â
The two children started chatting as if no one was around.
Song Qingyou stopped laughing.â Itâs time to prepare dinner⦠Brother Jiang should send the little girl home first. If itâs too late, her family will be worried.â âI should.â Jiang Xuyan nodded.
âIâll go with Teacher Jiang.â Tang Zinian spread his hands. âWeâre both poor kids who are forbidden from entering the kitchen anyway.â
Zhao Yingnan, âA little pitiful kid who can blow up the kitchen?â
Tang Zinian sighed and shook his head. âSister Yingnan, youâve changed too. Youâve become sarcastic.â
âBlow up the kitchenâ¦â Fu Chen looked surprised. âI thought blowing up the kitchen was just a joke. I didnât expect someone to actually do it.â
âSo, Brother Fu knows how to cook too?â Tang Zinian scratched his head in embarrassment.
âWhen I was studying, I cooked for myself.â
Fu Chen volunteered, âHow about I cook dinner for you tonight?â
âHow can we let the guest do the cookingâ¦â Zhao Yingnan was embarrassed.
âI want to do it. Itâs okay.â
Fu Chen smiled in relief. He took the initiative to pick up the apron that was thrown on the living room sofa and tied it on himself. His movements were very practiced.
The others were in charge of handling the ingredients and the tea leaves picked today.
Jiang Xuyan and Tang Zinian had already taken Yinyinâs hand and were ready to send her back.
Seeing that the two children had just made friends, the two of them specially brought Jiang Yi along.
Coincidentally, this little girl called Yinyin was the granddaughter of the old lady who had helped them on the first day.
During dinner time, everyone praised Fu Chenâs dishes endlessly.
âIs it really good?â Fu Chen sized up the expressions on their faces.
âItâs indeed delicious.â Tang Zinian gave an affirmative answer.
âI originally thought that after I quit the industry, I would try to be a food blogger. Now it seems that I do have the talent in this area.â
When they heard Fu Chenâs âcareer planâ, they all agreed.
Jiang Xuyan put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
âIâm only concerned about whether Teacher Fu will invite us to dinner when he becomes a food blogger in the future.â
âOf course I will.â Fu Chen replied.
After dinner, Song Qingyou planned to continue making dolls.
It was supposed to be her turn to wash the dishes, but Tang Zinian and the others refused to let her do it.
The reason was that she was usually too efficient at work. One person was equivalent to several of them. She did not need to worry about small things like washing dishes.
Song Qingyou was also happy to have less work.
Just as she was about to return to her room, Zhizhi immediately followed her.
Behind him was Xu Mingrui.
There were no cameras in the corridor, and the cameraman had gone to eat dinner.
Song Qingyou turned around to tease him.
âItâs not working hours now. If Director Xu canât sleep at night and wants to chat with me, heâll have to pay.â
Xu Mingrui thought of the first time they met, when Song Qingyu had asked for 500 yuan. His mouth was faster than his brain.
âHow much?â
âYouâre really going to give it to me?â Song Qingyou laughed. âDo you really want to chat with me?â
Jiang Zhihan raised his head and stared at Xu Mingrui warily.
The latter finally realized that the other party was joking and said, âIâm not chatting. Iâm here to deliver something to you on behalf of my brother. Itâs not convenient to give it to you in front of the camera during the day.â
As he spoke, Xu Mingrui took out a palm-sized gift box. âI just took it out of my room.â
There was no logo on the pink gift box.
âDo you mind if I open it now?â Song Qingyou asked.
Her intuition told her that this was something she should return on the spot.
Xu Mingrui shook his head. âI donât mindâ¦My brother said that there was a card inside. Donât worry, I havenât opened it yet.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYour brother is⦠Chief Editor Xu?â
âItâs him.â Xu Mingrui confirmed her guess.
Song Qingyou opened the gift box. Inside was a light green diamond bracelet.
There was indeed a card under the bracelet. It was a scenic photo of a famous mountain in Country Y.
Below it was also written, âSummer, breeze, distant mountains, I want to give them ah to you.â
At the end of the line of words, there was a small red heart.
Because Xu Qinian hadnât appeared for a long time, Song Qingyou thought he had given up on pursuing her. She didnât expect him to still persist..
