" The Xiaoxi is here!"
As soon as the car stopped in front of the door, Grandpa Song greeted him with a smile and took two steps forward.
"Have you eaten? Are you hungry? There's some soup in the kitchen, I'll get you a bowl."
Jiang Mingxi had been depressed all along, unable to explain why she was unhappy, but she just couldn't be happy.
I always feel a bit down.
Even though Song Lan had tried her best to coax her the whole way in the car.
But as soon as she got out of the car and met Grandpa Song's smiling face and kind eyes, Jiang Mingxi felt a little lighter in her heart.
Oops.
He had just become so sad because of what happened to others.
Depend on!
That was close!
Internal strife!
Shake your head quickly, "I want to drink a big bowl!"
Grandpa Song:...
If you're going to drink a big bowl, then drink a big bowl. Why are you shaking your head while agreeing to drink a big bowl?
My dog doesn't do that!
But this is Xiaoxi!
Grandpa Song immediately shook his head, "Okay, let's drink a big bowl!"
Jiang Mingxi turned to look at Song Lan in shock.
Is Grandpa sick?
Why are you shaking your head?
Song Lan:...
Song Lan remained silent and simply went inside.
Upon entering the house.
Wow!
There's a TV next to the dining table?
Song Lan turned to look at her grandfather in shock.
Grandpa Song asked Jiang Mingxi eagerly, "Want to watch TV? Variety shows or cartoons? The talk shows lately are pretty good, they're perfect with rice."
Song Lan was incredulous. "Isn't our family rule that we're not allowed to watch TV or use our phones while eating?"
Grandpa Song rolled his eyes at him, "Rules are rules, but people are flexible. Xiaoxi can definitely come. Young people watch TV while eating. I bought this TV specifically for Xiaoxi. What's the point of buying it if he can't watch it?"
As he spoke, Grandpa Song turned on the TV for Jiang Mingxi Jiang Mingxi, placed the remote control next to him, and patted his head. "Go watch TV. Grandpa will bring you some soup and a few cold dishes. Do you want some? They're all Xiaoxi's favorites, and they smell delicious."
Jiang Mingxi suddenly felt like crying.
With red eyes, she nodded to Grandpa Song, "I want to eat."
Grandpa Song smiled and said, "Good boy, Grandpa will fetch some water from the Xiaoxi for us."
He glared at Song Lan and said, "What are you standing there for? Go wash your hands and get some chopsticks."
Jiang Mingxi held the remote and watched TV. Although she still didn't know why she had been unhappy the whole way, now, the unhappiness was gone.
It turns out that being loved can really resolve everything.
What are you spacing out for?
Song Lan brought over a bowl and chopsticks. Seeing Jiang Mingxi staring blankly at the TV, she slightly curled her fingers and gently stroked his cheek.
Jiang Mingxi looked up at Song Lan Song Lan grinned at him, "I especially like Grandpa."
Song Lan raised an eyebrow. "No, you have to really like me."
Jiang Mingxi:...
Grandpa, who was bringing over the soup:...
Jiang Mingxi's favorite coconut chicken soup, served with three or four refreshing cold dishes.
Even the bowls for drinking soup were ones that Grandpa bought with little yellow ducks on the rim— Keke!
Welcome to the live stream of " Survival Challenge "!
On TV, the first episode of " Survival Challenge " was playing.
Grandpa sighed, his eyes reddening slightly, and whispered to the butler beside him, "Their father died young, Song Bai has been like a little adult since he was a child. While other children are still going to the zoo with their parents and feeding ducks, Song Bai has already started working on company reports."
"As for Song Lan, those years were chaotic. While other kids were playing with carrot knives and watching Peppa Pig, he was playing with suicide and watching 'How to Be a Good Mother'."
"I've never raised a proper, normal grandson."
" Xiaoxi is so much better, so well-behaved."
The butler, his eyes also red-rimmed, nodded. "Master hasn't been this happy in a long time."
Grandpa Song:...
He turned and smacked the butler, "You idiot, stop watching those short videos."
The butler immediately clutched his head, "Long videos aren't good! Short videos need a good storyline and acting skills, and good acting skills combined with good looks!"
Grandpa Song:...
She rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "I was worried that Zheng Muyun would bring that child from Qin Family Village back, and that Xiaoxi would be upset. I was thinking of having Xiaoxi stay with us."
The butler sighed, "If we really bring him back, wouldn't it mean the fake young master has silently turned to the dark side, secretly lying in wait, vowing to take back everything he lost? And the real young master has suffered all the injustices, been kicked out, and finally met his true love, his white moonlight, and entered an even bigger wealthy family? Wouldn't that mean the whole family would be cremated?"
Grandpa Song:...
You son of a bitch!
How many short drama scripts have I consumed!
Spit it out!
Song Lan looked at Jiang Mingxi on the screen.
On the screen.
Jiang Mingxi jumped up and shouted at Song Lan, "I'm extremely interested in Teacher Song!"
At the dining table.
Song Lan pinched Jiang Mingxi's earlobe, "I'm also very interested in you."
Jiang Mingxi felt a tingling sensation from his grip, a glint of affection in her eyes as she met his gaze. "What interests do you have?"
Song Lan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Fill your interest."
Song Lan's room is on the top floor of the villa.
The entire top floor belongs to him.
The stars in the night sky can be clearly seen from the glass roof.
The lights were off.
On the sofa.
Song Lan held Jiang Mingxi and let him sit on her lap.
Holding Jiang Mingxi 'Jiang Mingxi hand and pressing it against her chest, Song Lan mimicked Jiang Mingxi's words from that night in Bridgehead Village, "I'll comfort you."
That night.
Jiang Mingxi used all her charm to seduce Song Lan, leaving Song Lan burning with desire, while Jiang Mingxi herself turned away and fell fast asleep.
That night.
The stars in the sky watched the two people inside the glass room.
I worked all night without rest!
Is the bed uncomfortable?
You're on the sofa one minute, then on the floor the next, then in the bathroom, then on the balcony...
Would it kill you to go to bed?!
Jiang Mingxi didn't know if going to bed would kill him, but at this moment, looking at himself in the mirror, at the marks all over his body, at his curled toes, at the mottled reflection in the mirror...
He's dying.
In a physical sense.
As dawn approached, Song Lan carried Jiang Mingxi, who was barely able to open her eyes, out of the bathtub.
They washed the person clean and tucked them into the blankets.
Despite being incredibly sleepy, Jiang Mingxi was still thinking about the toy car Song Lan had mentioned, her voice hoarse, "I want to see the toy car."
Song Lan kissed his back, tracing the dense, overlapping kisses from top to bottom, "Aren't you sleepy?"
"I'm sleepy, but I still want to watch."
"Should I turn on the light?" Song Lan kissed the other person's back from bottom to top, reluctant to let go, and only asked after she finished kissing him.
"Um."
Soft light illuminated the room in the early morning.
Jiang Mingxi saw Song Lan wearing loose pajama pants, standing on the scene of their crime, and taking a toy car out of the figurine cabinet.
But Jiang Mingxi's gaze fell on the display case of figurines.
Why is there a shoebox inside?
Song Lan glanced back.
It's a shoebox for a pair of double-sided shoes.
The box was already broken.
It contains all the treasures I've received since I was a child.
