Guo Kunnan said: "Even if I try my best, I can’t get close to them at all."
Jiang Ning: "Yeah, that’s pretty pathetic."
"We were both losers in life once." Guo Kunnan agreed deeply, then changed the topic, "By the way, I forgot to ask, how did things go with you and her?"
Thinking of the clumsy Tongtong, Jiang Ning replied: "Then we were together every day."
Guo Kunnan was in disbelief, extrely shocked: "What?"
Jiang Ning: "What’s wrong, aren’t you?"
Guo Kunnan was ntally shaken.
...
At night, a beam of light pierced through the silence of the bungalow.
Xue Yuantong’s crisp voice rang out: "Mom, your invincible daughter is ho, co out quickly to greet her!"
Sure enough, not even five seconds had passed when Aunt Gu, with an apron tied around her waist, ca out from the house to greet her.
Xue Yuantong hurriedly climbed out of the car, and in her haste, even kicked Jiang Ning’s lower back.
Jiang Ning couldn’t figure out if it was accidental or intentional.
After jumping out of the car, Xue Yuantong picked up the milk tea she bought at the school gate, "Mom, try the milk tea from our school, it’s expensive, 12 yuan a cup! Made with real milk, it even has brown sugar pearls, I bought you a cup."
Although Aunt Gu currently had a decent salary, her rustic nature from the countryside still made her complain: "You drink it yourself, why buy it for , I don’t like it."
She looked towards the neighbor and said: "Give it to Chuchu to drink."
Xue Yuantong giggled: "I also bought a cup for Chuchu, Mom, drink it while it’s hot."
Aunt Gu had no choice now, so she accepted the milk tea from her daughter, originally wanting her to help with a chore, but she quietly gave up on that idea.
Xue Yuantong fixed a straw for her mom, with sparkling eyes, watched her take a sip, and asked: "Is it good?"
With black tea and real milk, adding in brown sugar, plus Jiang Ning’s speedy ride and the warmth-preserving setup for the milk tea, it had to be good.
Aunt Gu nodded: "It’s pretty good."
Saying that, she took another sip.
Xue Yuantong, hands on her hips, pointed at her: "Hahaha, Mom, didn’t you just say you didn’t like it? Changed your mind so quickly?"
Aunt Gu paused her actions, putting on a stern face: "There’s a porcelain basin in the kitchen that hasn’t been washed, wash it later, and clean it well for my inspection."
Xue Yuantong made a face.
...
Ten o’clock sharp.
Xue Yuantong, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, arrived punctually at Jiang Ning’s happy little house.
As soon as she entered, the warm air enveloped her, and she imdiately took off her coat, revealing the cool nightgown underneath.
She found her supre throne was occupied by Jiang Ning, making Xue Yuantong angry: "Planning a coup?"
Jiang Ning: "What’s up, you want to revolt?"
Xue Yuantong didn’t argue with him; her milk tea was still hidden in Jiang Ning’s thermos box.
Compared to drinking milk tea as soon as she got ho, Xue Yuantong preferred to savor it slowly after a bath at Jiang Ning’s place.
She liked this cozy atmosphere.
She took out the milk tea, which was still piping hot, and took a sip, even burning her mouth!
Xue Yuantong picked up her phone and called Chuchu.
Three minutes later, Xue Chuchu appeared at Jiang Ning’s doorstep.
She noticed that Tongtong wasn’t, as usual, curled up on a chair, but barefoot, curling up on a soft sofa, hugging an iPad.
"Leave it there." Xue Yuantong pointed to the corner where the thermos box was.
Xue Chuchu thickened her skin and took the pearl milk tea that Tongtong gifted.
Now, the two girls were nestled on the sofa drinking milk tea, and Xue Chuchu, after taking a sip, liked it imdiately. Though she didn’t speak, her relaxed facial expression revealed it suited her taste well.
Jiang Ning was sitting in front of the monitor, searching for images of ring designs; the ring he previously engraved for Bai Yuxia was just a plain jade band, and Jiang Ning wondered if he could add so other elents.
Xue Yuantong was watching a monster movie on the iPad, and Xue Chuchu was watching with her; occasionally, she looked up and saw a large image of a ring on the monitor.
Xue Chuchu’s thoughts wandered; she looked down and rolled up her sleeve, revealing a brightly-colored, fiery red rope wrapped around her smooth wrist. It contrasted with her fair and delicate skin, making it irresistible to touch.
Noticing the movent while watching the movie, Xue Yuantong also saw the new red rope on Chuchu’s wrist.
Xue Yuantong imdiately warned: "Chuchu, why are you wearing a red rope? Do you know what it represents?"
Her tone was very serious and precise!
Xue Chuchu raised her head, looking puzzled.
She found this red rope when tidying up today, cut a bit, and wore it on her wrist. Could there be a taboo?
She instantly had many bad associations, such as the red rope attracting evil spirits, affecting her destiny, bringing disaster, and other negative impacts on herself.
Jiang Ning turned around: "What does it represent?"
Xue Yuantong grinned widely, laughing: "Hehe, I don’t know either, I just wanted to scare Chuchu."
