“Did you children take pictures?” Song Yifei asked.
An Xiulan, who happened to hear this, nodded her head and passed the phone. Her mouth was full with what she was eating and so she couldn’t speak but she passed her phone to let Song Yifei see the pictures.
“Ah, Yunyun went too? How come my sister-in-law didn’t tell me?” Song Yifei asked as she looked at her niece in the picture. “Xiulan, are you close to Xueyun? Let me tell you, Ah Xuan and Yunyun are best friends.”
“I thought she was my brother’s puppy love partner, “An Xiulan said while chewing and Lu Xuan choked on water.
“What nonsense are you sprouting?” Lu Xuan glared at her.
“I am merely making assumptions, “An Xiulan shrugged. “I’m the vice president of the puppy love committee. It’s my responsibility to stop the students from falling into the ditch of puppy love. If you and Song Xueyun are too busy falling in love, who’s gonna study? Your dad?”
Lu Zhaolin , who just returned home, coughed loudly as the red coated his face. He happened to hear that comment.
“Xiulan, have this drink, “Song Yifei passed her the drink to ease up the awkward atmosphere..
“Okay, “An Xiulan shrugged and held the drink passed to her.
“Don’t fall in puppy love at such a young age, “Lu Zhaolin said to his son as soon as he took a seat on the couch beside them. “If you so badly want to fall in love, make sure it’s a puppy, not a girl. We are not in a hurry to have a daughter-in-law.”
“Don’t worry, dad, I will get you a son-in-law, “Lu Xuan said with a sarcastic smile.
Lu Zhaolin placed his hand on his heart as his face turned pale. His children were hellbent on killing, were they?
“Oh, so you are into yaoi boys too?” An Xiulan asked with a curious look.
“What’s Yaoi boys?” Lu Zhaolin asked with a frown.
“It’s when we get out of our comfort zone to love someone, “An Xiulan said with the most innocent smile. “Oh, I have to ask teacher Liu if falling for Yaoi boys falls in the puppy love category too? Well, it’s an unusual case.”
“You! Stop speaking nonsense, “Lu Xuan pointed his finger at her. “I will ask mom to seize your gadgets. You watch all the nonsense on the internet.”
“Ah Xuan, be nice to your sister, “Lu Zhaolin said in a stern voice. “Weren’t you at summer camp?”
“We came here to take you somewhere, “Lu Xuan decided to come straight to the point.
“Where?” Lu Zhaolin asked in curiosity.
“To the psychologist, “An Xiulan replied. “You need therapy like the rest of us.”
“You wild girl!” An angry voice boomed in the living room. “Are you calling my son crazy?! How dare you say this?! Is this what your mother taught you?! How dare you say this nonsense to my son?!”
“Lu Xuan, “An Xiulan whispered as she looked at the angry old woman at the door. “I think your grandmother needs therapy too. Add her name to the appointment.”
“You! Why are you silent?” Old lady Lu boomed.
“I-I…”An Xiulan was scared at this moment. Ever since she came to this world, no one looked at her with such a hateful eye.
“Mom, you are scaring the girl, “Lu Zhaolin said as he stood up to look at his seething mother.
“She called you insane and wants to bring you to the doctor who cures mad people, “Old Madam Lu said as she looked at her son.
“I’m sure that’s not what Xiulan meant, “Lu Zhaolin said in a stern tone. “Why don’t you go to your room and take Lu Xuan with you? He came to see you. Don’t you want to spend some time with your grandson who specially came to see his grandmother?”
The old lady’s face softened as she looked at her well behaved and precious grandson. She walked to him and patted his head before bringing him with her to her room.
“Xiulan, do you want to play with Xiaobao? I’m sure that he has woken up, “Lu Zhaolin said as he looked at the scared girl. He didn’t know what to say to her. His mother could be persuasive at times.
“Jiejie!” Lu Xun screeched as he saw his favourite person in the entire universe as she entered his nursery. He got out of his nanny’s hold and she put him on the ground. He walked with his wobbly legs to his big sister making her eyes widen. He was looking at her with a look that said to praise him.
“Wow, our family’s Xiaobao can walk without falling down, “An Xiulan crouched on the ground and spread her arms for the boy who sprinted toward her with wobbly legs while falling on his butt in the process.
“Jiejie! Jiejie! Jiejie!” Lu Xun chanted her name while sitting on her lap on the rug in his nursery. He was playing with her fingers.
“Xiaobao, do you love Jiejie?” An Xiulan asked the boy as she teased his cute button nose.
“Lob! Bob! Lob!” Xiaobao spoke gibberish but he was doing his best to reply to her.
She kissed his cheeks and he kissed her cheek back. She giggled in reply and he giggled back making her giggle more. He always ended up making her happy whenever she was unhappy.
In the other room, Old Madam Lu was asking her grandson several questions.
“Xiao Xuan, are you going to spend summer vacation with Grandma?” She softly asked her grandson as she fed him pastry with her own hands.
“Grandma, I will come to spend the vacation with you next week, “Lu Xuan said. “I returned from summer camp today.”
“I invited Lily to stay at our house for the summer vacation. Why don’t you stay here and accompany her? And invite that friend of yours too. What was her name again?” Old Madam Lu said. “That Song girl.”
“Grandma, Song Xueyun is busy with studies.”
“What would she achieve by studying so hard?” Old Madam said. “Just invite her here. Lily is coming too. At most, she can help Lily settle down here.”
