Chapter 295 – Come On, Can You Demonstrate For Me
Mo Fei was still too busy to take her little sister-in-law to buy clothes. The company called, and the Shanghai TV station sent an invitation. The next day, she had to go back to the company and then set off for Shanghai in the afternoon to prepare for the recording of the Music Power Chart on Monday.
However, before she left, she still pulled Yang Huan into the room and chatted in a low voice for a long time. She asked for her clothing size and personal data such as her three measurements, preparing to go to Shanghai and let Mo Xiaojuan go to the brand store to choose for her.
In the morning, Yang Yi drove Yang Huan and Xixi around the area to familiarize her with the environment. In the afternoon, due to an appointment with Guo Ziyi, they stayed in the warm coffee shop.
During their leisure time, Yang Yi took the cat-specific nail clippers and trimmed the nails of Xiao Guai and the others one by one. Yang Yi hadn’t noticed their nails had grown long until yesterday when Yang Huan played with them and was scratched by the shy Duoduo. Only then did Yang Yi realize that he needed to trim the nails of these three little guys!
Xixi originally wanted to play with her little aunt, but because she was worried that her father would cut Xiao Guai and the others’ nails badly, the little girl stood nervously on the side and watched.
Yang Yi was now trimming Xiao Hui’s nails, and the “mischievous” Duoduo has been dealt with and was now walking with one deep step and one shallow step, trying to adapt to the state after having her nails trimmed. Xiao Hui, facing the same situation, wanted to escape, but ultimately was caught by the poop-shoveling officer.
Yang Yi sandwiched Xiao Hui between his legs. The struggling Xiao Hui’s big face was full of panic and fear, and he was still meowing for mercy.
Xixi stood nearby, watching her father lift one of Xiao Hui’s little paws, gently pressing it with his thumb and index finger to fully expose Xiao Hui’s nails. The little girl said worriedly, “Papa, can you not use too much force? Xiao Hui will feel pain. Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui didn’t do anything wrong…”
Yang Yi turned his head and looked at the sad little girl and smiled, saying, “Papa is trimming his nails, not punishing him. Xixi, you know, if a cat’s nails grow too long, it’s also harmful to them. When they play, their nails might get caught in the curtains or carpets, which is very dangerous for them.”
Xixi nodded her head, not fully understanding, and said, “Alright then, Papa, please be careful, so Xiao Hui won’t be hurt!”
In fact, just like humans, as long as one trims the nails to the right length, it won’t hurt them. If one looks closely, a cat’s nail has two parts: the white, keratin part, and the pink part connected to their body, which contains nerves and blood vessels. So when one trims their nails, one can only cut the white part.
While Yang Yi and Xixi were trimming the kittens’ nails, Yang Huan, who wasn’t very interested in cats, chatted with Ding Xiang. Of course, she didn’t disturb Ding Xiang’s work. When there were customers, she wasn’t idle either. She helped Ding Xiang wash cups, took orders from the customers, and did whatever she could.
“…Ding Xiang, I didn’t know that was the situation in your family. Compared to that, our family is much happier. Although we are also very poor, at least we have both our parents,” Yang Huan said with some emotion.
Under Yang Huan’s persistent questioning, Ding Xiang, unable to resist, revealed her own background, which she hadn’t explained in detail to Yang Yi, but Guo Ziyi knew some of it.
“Then I’ll have to ask my brother to increase your salary. You see, he’s practically a hands-off shopkeeper now, leaving everything to you!” Yang Huan defended Ding Xiang.
“No, Huanhuan, it’s not like that. Big Brother Yang has already taken good care of me. I don’t have to come to work when I have classes or exams, and he also pays me a high salary,” Ding Xiang hurriedly explained.
“How much does he pay you?” Yang Huan was curious.
Ding Xiang blushed and told her the exact amount, feeling embarrassed.
“That much?” Yang Huan was surprised, but she didn’t think Ding Xiang wasn’t worth it. She smiled and said, “Ding Xiang, can you teach me how to make coffee too? I found that working in my big brother’s shop is much better than working outside. My classmates who work outside only make two or three thousand yuan a month!”
“But don’t worry, I won’t take your job!” Yang Huan was worried that Ding Xiang might misunderstand. She took Ding Xiang’s hand and whispered, “My big brother is so kind, he will definitely be willing to hire both of us to work together.”
……
Guo Ziyi arrived with his director, “Senior Sister Du”. Perhaps Guo Ziyi had introduced Yang Yi’s ‘great achievements’ to Du Yuanlei. Although she was still somewhat skeptical in her heart, she still showed great respect and handed her script to Yang Yi with both hands.
“I’ll take a look at your script first,” Yang Yi said with a smile to Du Yuanlei. “But there’s one thing I want to confirm with you beforehand. Do you want me to revise your script based on what you already have, or do you want me to use your ideas as inspiration and re-write the story?”
Du Yuanlei actually leaned more toward the former. After all, it was her own hard work, but after this period of filming, she began to gradually lose confidence in her script. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
So she gritted her teeth and said, “Both are fine! After reading the script, please choose the best option and give us some advice, Teacher Yang!
“Just wait a moment.” Yang Yi gestured for her to sit opposite him while he started reading her script.
At this moment, Yang Huan came over with a coffee in a poised manner and handed it to Du Yuanlei with a smile, saying, “Please enjoy.”
“What about mine?” Guo Ziyi called out.
Yang Huan rolled her eyes and said, “I’m not here to serve you. If you want a drink, go get it yourself!”
Guo Ziyi followed helplessly, “Yang Yi’s younger sister, you can’t take revenge for a private grudge!1Isn’t it just calling you ‘younger sister’?”
Letting Guo Ziyi call a girl who was only in her second year of high school “big sister” was really difficult for him. So, he had been trying to play it safe.
“Hmph! Hmph!” Yang Huan ignored him and walked to Ding Xiang’s side, shaking her ponytail.
Yang Huan had already untied her big braid. In fact, the big braid was done by Mother Yang. From Mother Yang’s perspective, she thought that a girl with such a hairstyle would look more dignified and beautiful when going out. However, after experiencing all the strange looks from others along the way, Yang Huan knew that people’s sense of aesthetics outside was different.
So, after chatting with Mo Fei for a while yesterday, she changed her hairstyle under Mo Fei’s persuasion. Mo Fei also wanted to take her to get her hair permed and receive hair treatment, but Yang Huan was still hesitant to accept it for the time being.
Ding Xiang watched as Guo Ziyi came over and brought him his coffee. Guo Ziyi immediately smiled and flattered, “Ding Xiang, you’re the best!”
“Yang Yi’s younger sister!” Guo Ziyi didn’t go back and sat with Du Yuanlei. He felt a bit uneasy, so he might as well play here. After taking a sip of coffee, he called out awkwardly.
“What?” Yang Huan said impatiently.
“Let me tell you, an innocent girl like you who has just come out of the countryside and doesn’t know the dangers of the world, If you encounter those slick-tongued, kind-faced but evil-hearted men, you’ll suffer a great loss!” Guo Ziyi shook his head and said.
He actually meant to say, “Why don’t you call me ‘big brother’ and I’ll impart some experiences to you!”
However, Yang Huan didn’t plan to play according to the routine. She chuckled and said, “What kind of loss will I suffer?”
“Uh, some people might think you’re easy to deceive, so they will come to talk to you and then deceive your feelings…” Guo Ziyi was caught off guard, but fortunately, he was quick-witted and managed to come up with an explanation.
Yang Huan walked out from behind the bar, smiled brightly at Guo Ziyi, and said, “Alright, come on, can you demonstrate for me what they might do?”
