Task Complete

At the dinner table, Su Qi felt that if her third brother were also there, the whole family would be truly complete.

However, judging from the current situation, Su Qi is also very happy, as it has been at least two years since she has eaten with her parents.

"Come on, Xiao Qi, try Mom's cola chicken wings." Lu Ran picked up a chicken wing and gave it to Su Qi.

Lu Ran was very happy at this moment. She had noticed this as soon as she returned to Su Qi Qi's room.

My husband's bad habits have all disappeared. He speaks less loudly and doesn't make any exaggerated movements anymore. You have to admit, he actually looks quite like a cultured man now.

To be honest, Su Lujun's temperament has always been a source of worry for Lu Ran. After all, for someone over 50, mindset is truly important; a peaceful mind is better than any tonic.

As for her own husband, he's the type to get angry easily. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lied to Su Qi that Su Lujun was furious.

This is really good. Although I can see that my husband is subconsciously holding back, isn't that what habits are all about—holding back and then letting it out?

Seeing how well Su Lujun, Lu Ran felt she should reward him and gently stepped on his foot.

Su Lujun looked at his wife with some confusion, only to see Lu Ran nod at the shrimp and then turn her head to look at Su Qi.

The hint should not be too obvious; serve food to your daughter.

Su Lujun watched his daughter, who was diligently eating cola chicken wings, and he felt quite uneasy.

He felt that Su Qi didn't seem as afraid of him as she had been yesterday.

Su Lujun felt very happy if his daughter actually ate the food he picked out for her.

But he worried that if his daughter saw him picking out the food himself, she might get angry and refuse to eat.

Su Lujun was very conflicted, holding a piece of shrimp between his chopsticks and hesitant to move it, clearly having an internal struggle.

Fortunately, Su Qi was focused on eating chicken wings and didn't look at the screen.

Su Siyang did notice his father's little scheme, but he didn't say anything. After all, he also wanted to serve his sister some food, and he thought it would be a good opportunity to let his father test the waters.

After Su Qi finally finished eating the chicken wing, Su Lujun placed the shrimp into Su Qi's bowl and whispered:

"Have a shrimp, it's nutritious."

Su Qi was touched as her father picked up a shrimp for her, because it had been a long time since her father had given her such a treat.

She's been picking up food with her chopsticks for about ten years now!

At that moment, she didn't know what expression to make when she looked at her father, so she could only lower her head and focus all her attention on the shrimp, and whisper, "Thank you, Dad."

Seeing Su Qi start peeling shrimp, Su Lujun belatedly realized that he should have peeled the shrimp first.

However, seeing Su Qi slowly eat and then hand him over to the shrimp to eat, he felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Su Siyang, watching his father feed his daughter, also put a freshly peeled shrimp into his younger sister's bowl. He added, "Come try your brother's shrimp, I peeled it for you, okay, brother!"

Su Lujun glanced meaningfully at his son, thinking, "This same kid left me among the reporters this morning, and now he's trying to steal my attention again? I think he's asking for trouble."

He subconsciously touched the belt at his waist, and after touching it for a while, he realized it had already been stolen;

I threw it away myself.

Looking at Su Siyang, he once again picked up a peeled shrimp for Su Qi.

Su Lujun thought for a moment, then placed a shrimp on her plate and began peeling it.

Lu Ran thought she should ask her husband to pick up a piece of shrimp to ease the tension between the two of them, but now he's starting to compete with his son.

And why only give food to the daughter? Doesn't the wife and mother herself receive any pampering?

After thinking for a moment, she hummed.

Hearing her mother speak, Su Qi subconsciously looked up and saw that the plate of shrimp was completely empty.

There were already several shrimp in her bowl, and to be honest, Su Qi couldn't eat anymore. However, she wasn't good at refusing, so all the shrimp ended up on her plate.

Looking at her mother, who seemed a little annoyed, Su Qi thought for a moment and then picked up several shrimp that she and her mother had peeled and prepared from her own bowl and gave them to her.

Watching this scene, Lu Ran felt that her daughter was the most considerate, her mother's little darling.

If it weren't for the fact that she had oil on her lips, she would definitely have kissed her own daughter.

The four of them ate the meal in harmony. Afterwards, Su Qi, like a satisfied cat, patted her little belly contentedly, feeling that this feeling was truly wonderful. Especially the feeling of being with her family made her feel very at ease.

The only drawback is that their place is too small. If it were a two-bedroom apartment, perhaps Lu Ran and Su Lujun could stay there for a few days.

Seeing her father with dark circles under his eyes from staying in a hotel these past few days, she cherished the sense of security he felt, but ultimately didn't selfishly try to persuade him to stay.

The next morning, the long-awaited sunlight shone into the room, and Su Qi slowly woke up.

For some reason, she always felt that her sleep quality was particularly high in this room, and most importantly, her Stamina Value was always full, which looked really comfortable.

Su Qi stretched out a big yawn before realizing that her mother was already dressed and looking at her with a smile.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me you got up?" Su Qi blushed a little, after all, her stretching motion was a bit too big.

"I wasn't planning on waking you up anyway. I wanted you to sleep in a little longer, since you'll be on summer vacation in a month anyway," Lu Ran said gently.

"That won't do, I have to go and see you off."

Su Qi looked at the time and realized it was already 6 o'clock. Thinking about her train at 7 o'clock, she hurriedly went to wash up.

For Su Qi, there wasn't the complicated routine that most girls go through. She finished brushing her teeth and washing her face in just 5 minutes. Lu Ran looked at her daughter and couldn't help but smile as she watched her daughter acting like a boy.

Pulling her to the dressing table, it's worth mentioning Lu Ran's quirk: she really loves tying people's hair. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let 4-year-old Su Qi keep her hair so long.

Actually, she had wanted to tie Su Qi's hair up for several days, but she hadn't bought any hair ties yet.

Su Qi looked in the mirror and saw her mother's hands creating various styles in her hair, and she found it somewhat magical.

Because every head shape gives people a slightly different feeling.

Su Qi's hair is very black and straight, but it's a bit short, even when it's down, it only goes past her shoulders.

Lu Ran originally wanted to style Su Qi's hair into pigtails. After all, this hairstyle best showcased her daughter's charming and delicate features.

No, my hair isn't long enough, that's a major drawback.

Finally, Lu Ran chose to style Su Qi's hair into a bun. Su Qi's skin was already fair, and after all the bangs were rolled up, her entire facial contours were revealed. Without the bangs covering her face, her bright, lively eyes looked adorable with every blink. Lu Ran was extremely satisfied.

Su Qi didn't care too much about appearance; she focused all her attention on the dumplings. Whenever she moved, the dumplings would move too, and she found the experience quite interesting.

Coincidentally, Su Qi, who had just tidied her hair, received instructions from her brother to go downstairs.

The car drove very fast; it was past 6 a. m. and there was no rush hour yet. We arrived at the train station in no time.

Standing in front of the Su City East Railway Station, Su Qi had just experienced the long-awaited love from her parents and, to be honest, was very reluctant to see them leave.

Zhang's face was filled with reluctance.

Lu Ran and Su Lujun felt a pang of tenderness in their hearts when they saw their daughter's expression.

Su Qi was clumsy with words and didn't know how to say goodbye.

But what is never lacking in front of the train station is the touching farewell.

Not far away, Su Qi saw a girl about her age seeing her parents off to their car.

After chatting for a while, Su Qi saw the girl give each of her parents a huge bear hug.

Lu Ran and Su Lujun followed Su Qi's gaze and looked at the scene over there.

Su Qi was conflicted. She felt ashamed to hug her parents like that girl, but she didn't know how to say goodbye!

Then, Su Qi looked at her mother, slowly opened her arms, and murmured to herself, "Mom, I also want someone to hug me!" Hearing her mother's obvious hint, Su Qi blushed slightly and nuzzled her head into her mother's arms.

Mother's embrace.

At this moment, Su Lujun's old face was full of envy, but when he thought about what his wife had just said, he felt that it was too difficult for him.

As he pondered, he felt a sharp pain in his foot. He realized his wife had stepped on him, and then he saw her encouraging look. After a three-second pause, Su Lujun slowly opened his arms and said to Su Qi, "Dad, Dad, I also want someone to hug me!"

His voice was deep and resonant, yet trembled with nervousness. Su Lujun's skin was slightly dark, but a faint red tinge could be seen on it at this moment.

Su Qi's eyes widened in disbelief; she could hardly believe that her own father had uttered such an embarrassing line.

But looking at her own father, with his face flushed with shame, his arms trembling, and his eyes tightly closed, Su Qi felt that Su Lujun must have made a huge decision!

Su Qi slowly walked forward and gently hugged her father.

Feeling his daughter's embrace in response, Su Lujun opened his eyes in disbelief.

As he slowly embraced Su Qi, he realized just how petite she was.

Thinking back on his past acts of violence, he felt ashamed and realized he owed his daughter an apology. Su Lujun said softly and gently, "Daddy was wrong before, but Daddy will correct himself in the future! I won't raise my voice or hit anyone anymore. Please forgive Daddy, okay?" Hearing her father's apology, Su Qi felt a warmth in her heart and felt very safe in her father's broad chest. She nodded slightly, her little head bobbing gently.

Along with her nod, the System Girl's voice also came.

"Ding, congratulations host for successfully completing the mission— 'Daughter Con' Su Lujun, who had boarded the train, was grinning from ear to ear. Lu Ran looked at her husband's expression..."

Looking at his face, I remembered his catchphrase, "So beautiful, did you eat bee poop?"

I thought I would hear my husband's rebuttal, but to my surprise, he seemed to be lost in thought.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Lu Ran sighed, "I'm definitely a doting father."

After seeing her parents off, Su Qi was about to walk back to her car when she turned around and saw her older brother with his arms outstretched.

Su Qi:???

Looking at his sister who wasn't moving, Su Siyang thought for a moment and said, "Brother also wants someone to hug me!"

Afterwards, he closed his eyes like his father. When he opened them again, he saw his younger sister walking away, far away.
