When Song Zhilan finished speaking, everyone else's expressions changed slightly, and they began to look at each other in confusion.
But before anyone could respond, there was the sound of the door being unlocked at Entryway.
Everyone was startled and turned their heads to look around, and saw Lu Xiaoxiao coming in humming a song, with the bag in her hand dangling from her fingertips, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
The next second, she changed her shoes, looked up inadvertently, and met the eyes of everyone in the living room.
"Um... Is the family so full today?" Lu Xiaoxiao blinked blankly, looked to the left and then to the right, his expression full of confusion, "What were you talking about just now? Did I miss something?"
It's okay that she didn't ask, but as soon as she asked, everyone at the Lu Family became visibly nervous, and the atmosphere of suspicion that had been condensed in the last second instantly dissipated.
Among them, Lu Shiyan had the fastest on-the-spot reaction. He immediately managed his expression, and then waved to Lu Xiaoxiao with a smile, and his tone was very natural. "Xiaoxiao is back. Are you here? Just in time, we have just held a Lu Yubai criticism meeting, and this child Weekend's quiz score is at the bottom of the class, and he is unwilling to hire a tutor no matter what. His parents are almost helpless with him."
Lu Yubai:"???"
Lu Yubai, who was suddenly cueed, his eyes widened like bells for an instant.
The boy's face was even more confused than Lu Xiaoxiao's. He stiffly raised his finger and pointed at himself, making a mouth shape like "Me? Me again?!", but before he could finish, Lu Xunli suddenly stretched out from below. Lai was kicked in the leg, so he immediately changed his tone. "Ah, yes! I... I, I, I, why should I ask for a tutor? It's hard enough to attend school, and I... I don't want to have to attend classes at home! None of you can persuade me!"
Hearing what Lu Yubai said, the doubts in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows quickly dissipated, replaced by an understanding expression. "It's okay, second brother, you believe me, just give me a few spankings if you don't listen. There are so many people today, so we can take turns spanking, and everyone won't get tired easily."
[No wonder the whole family is here. It turns out that this little brat Lu Yubai is so stubborn again that he really doesn't work for a whole day! It doesn't matter, I will find a teacher for him in a few days. He has been busy running around recently, so it's just a convenient thing!]
Lu Yubai:"..."
Lu Yubai:"?!?!?!"
Isn't this the wrong direction? Although the fact that he was at the bottom of the quiz is true... but he didn't just cooperate with his second brother just to make trouble for himself!
He's used to being beaten, so it won't be a problem if he comes a few times, but he really doesn't want to hire a teacher!!! He will die if he studies for too long!!!
Seeing that Lu Yubai could hardly sit still, Lu Jiaoyue, who was afraid that he would spill something when he got excited, suddenly stood up, trotted all the way to Lu Xiaoxiao, hugged his sister's arm, and stammered to change the subject, "Um... sister! I have something to tell you!"
Being hugged by Lu Jiaoyue, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately forgot about Lu Yubai and asked very gently, "Okay? What's going on?"
"Ah... let's go back to the room and talk! I can only tell my sister about this!" Lu Jiaoyue said, while secretly winking at the family members on the other side, and then pulled Lu Xiaoxiao upstairs pretending to be excited.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao was successfully escorted away by Lu Jiaoyue, the remaining Lu Family in the living room breathed a sigh of relief.
And when the two people's backs disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Lu Yubai finally couldn't stand it any longer. He grabbed Lu Shiyan's sleeves in a frenzy and shook it hard. "Ah ah ah, second brother, what are you doing! Do you have to use me as a cover? Sister Xiaoxiao will take it seriously!"
"So what if you take it seriously? Isn't this a good thing?" Lu Yuan looked at him with a straight face, and said in a very angry voice, "As for your score, which is higher than anyone else's step on the answer sheet, shouldn't you ask someone to improve it for you?"
Lu Yubai:"..."
When his father spoke, Lu Yubai did not dare to talk back, but his body slowly flowed down the sofa like a pool of flowing mud. The highlight in his eyes had been lost, and his dead fish-like eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, as if someone had sucked all the life out of him.
The poor child was indeed in a state of collapse, but the others still had Song Zhilan's question in their minds and had no time to care.
"Don't think too much, Zhilan." Lu Yuan put his arms around Song Zhilan's shoulders, exerted slight pressure on his hands, and pulled her into his arms, "We couldn't hear our hearts before, so there is no evidence to prove that Xiaoxiao has changed. Maybe she has always thought this way, but we just don't know."
"Yeah, who dares to say that someone's understanding of a person is definitely right? People can easily change because of some things." Lu Shiyan glanced at Lu Yuan, with an unexplained dark light flashing in his eyes, comforting him. Song Zhilan's tone was very gentle, "Instead of worrying about Xiaoxiao's mental health, you might as well think carefully about what Xiaoxiao looked like before and what it looks like now, which one do you like better."
"This..." Song Zhilan's expression was a little hesitant, his lips parted for a moment, but he still replied in a low voice, "If I have to say... I probably prefer Xiaoxiao's lively and cheerful look now, right?"
"Well, that's right." Lu Shiyan slightly arched his eyebrows, and his soft voice was soothing, "Since everyone is changing for the better, don't be suspicious too much, otherwise Xiaoxiao will be sad if she knows you miss her like this, right?"
"Really... It seems right..." Song Zhilan stroked his heart, and finally suppressed his doubts and nodded, "Maybe I really thought too much."
"It's okay. You must be a little tired today. Why not go back to your room and rest first."
