Li Xiaoya, Xu Ruying, and Sheng Yuxiao spent the night sleeping on the floor at the Sheng Family home.
When Xu Qiulai returned home, she stumbled upon them, and her usually expressionless face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
"Is the bed broken?" This was Xu Qiulai's first reaction.
Xu Ruying went up and affectionately held her arm, "Auntie, you're back?"
Xu Qiulai nodded and said, "Ning Heng invited me to review his new work."
Xu Ruying was dumbfounded, "He really did have inspiration? He finished it in one night?"
Xu Qiulai paused, "Done in one night?"
"Yes, that should be it. Yesterday, after he met Xiaoya, he was going on about having new inspiration and then went back."
Hearing this, Xu Qiulai couldn't help but look down at Li Xiaoya, who was still lying on the floor.
The young girl's eyelashes fluttered lightly, as if about to be startled awake.
At this moment, her son, unusually free of his morning grumpiness, got up first and knelt beside Li Xiaoya, covering her ears.
But it was too late.
Li Xiaoya's fluttering eyelashes finally opened completely, revealing a pair of eyes that shone like stars and moon beneath.
In an awkward posture, she looked up and softly called out, "Auntie Xu."
Xu Qiulai nodded, composedly turned her head to instruct the servants to prepare breakfast, and even casually asked what Li Xiaoya liked to eat.
Sheng Yuxiao wanted to answer but stopped midway, helplessly saying, "I actually don't know what you like for breakfast. Back in Li Family Village, there weren't many choices."
Li Xiaoya met Xu Qiulai's gaze and slowly named two dishes herself.
She really liked Sheng Yuxiao's mother.
Auntie Xu didn't talk much, but she created a relaxed atmosphere.
Xu Qiulai stayed home to have breakfast with them.
At this point, the production team was preparing to wrap up and leave, leaving the audience reluctant to see it end.
[Is the city special really ending here?]
[Sheng Yuxiao's mom is so nice. She looks aloof, but she didn't say anything when she saw them sleeping messily on the floor, and didn't comment when she saw Sheng Yuxiao rushing to cover Li Xiaoya's ears...]
[Hey, could the production team do a special episode where Xiaoya visits Qin Sui's house?]
[Wow, sister, you're brave to make such a request. Aren't you afraid of the Sheng young master seeing it?]
[Well, people just want to see what Qin's mother's attitude is like. After all, Qin Sui was an important guest who spent a few days with Xiaoya, and he even participated in rescuing her]
[Now that you mention it, I want to see it too]
[Want to see +1, not every wealthy madam can be as understanding as Madam Xu, right?]
Mrs. Qin, who never missed watching the show in the morning, also saw these comments from netizens.
She muttered, "I'm nice to Xiaoya, aren't I?"
The mentioned Li Xiaoya sneezed while crouching in the garden.
Sheng Yuxiao walked up from behind and placed a hat on Li Xiaoya's head.
"What are you doing?"
Li Xiaoya turned her head and asked, "Can I pick some flowers from your family's garden?"
Sheng Yuxiao felt oddly uncomfortable hearing the words "your family's". It felt like a clear-cut division, a distinct separation of relationships, as if they were completely unrelated.
Sheng Yuxiao said, "Pick whatever you like."
Li Xiaoya looked around.
Sheng Yuxiao crouched down and asked, "What's wrong, didn't find any you like?" He paused, then suddenly asked, "Do you like sunflowers?"
He thought they were like Li Xiaoya.
Maybe he should just uproot everything and plant sunflowers instead.
Li Xiaoya shook her head.
Sheng Yuxiao immediately dismissed his previous thought. Okay, no planting then.
Li Xiaoya suddenly pointed to another pot with small white flowers, "How about this one?"
"A cactus?" What kind of flower is that?
Sheng Yuxiao felt Li Xiaoya wasn't like a cactus at all.
She didn't have any thorns.
She was soft, super sweet.
Li Xiaoya went over and picked it up, "Mm, I'll take it back and give it to Ke Muning."
Sheng Yuxiao: "Pfft."
Li Xiaoya took out her phone, "I missed so many calls."
"All from Ke Muning?"
Li Xiaoya nodded.
Sheng Yuxiao felt a bit sour, but still didn't say anything. It wasn't surprising that a madman like Ke Muning would like her, given how likable she was.
It would be strange if someone didn't like Li Xiaoya, right?
Sheng Yuxiao's mind ran through these thoughts like a devoted fan without realizing it.
He took the cactus and held it for Li Xiaoya.
Until Li Xiaoya left, he personally saw her off to the car.
"I'm leaving," Li Xiaoya waved goodbye to him.
Sheng Yuxiao nodded and rolled up the car window, to avoid looking a few more times and wanting to hold her back from leaving.
But just as the window was rolling up, he suddenly lowered it again, "Hey, wait a minute! Li Xiaoya!"
Li Xiaoya, holding the flower pot, turned back and looked at him puzzled.
Sheng Yuxiao squinted his eyes and asked, "Giving Ke Muning a cactus, and giving me candy... isn't this the same approach?"
Li Xiaoya looked completely innocent, "How is it the same?"
Sheng Yuxiao gritted his teeth, "We'll settle this when we get to school on Monday."
Li Xiaoya blinked, hugged the flower pot, and turned to leave.
She was no longer the Li Xiaoya who could only stand anxiously in the distance, secretly shedding tears while watching his silhouette when Sheng Yuxiao was injured during filming and sent away.
He wouldn't dare to settle accounts with me.
Li Xiaoya said quietly in her heart.
For some reason, she suddenly became very happy, and her steps became lighter.
A few minutes later.
Ke Muning's car arrived in front of Li Xiaoya, and he sneered, "Was it fun?"
Li Xiaoya nodded honestly.
It had always been Ke Muning bullying others, how could he let others step on him?
He asked with a sullen face, "More fun than being with me?"
Li Xiaoya tilted her head and asked back, "How can being with you be called fun? You taught me a lot of things, that's different."
Ke Muning instantly approved of this statement, "That's right!"
He opened the car door and directly lifted Li Xiaoya into the car, "Little kids shouldn't be too playful, they should learn more from adults like me."
"What are you holding?"
Li Xiaoya, hearing this, pushed it forward, nearly poking Ke Muning's face with the cactus spines.
She said, "A flower for you."
"You call this a flower?"
"It's a unique flower," Li Xiaoya emphasized strongly.
The description of being unique was indeed very appealing to Ke Muning.
Ke Muning immediately followed up with another question, "Where did the flower come from?"
"From my friend's home."
For others, this behavior would be called borrowing flowers to give as a gift.
For Ke Muning...
As long as it was taken from someone else's home, he liked it!
