"Thatâs right." Feng Zilan also laughed, "Itâs just Xinxinâs personality, if it were someone else, the young master might have already..."
"Could there be more to their acquaintance?" Shu Xing became interested.
"We found out only later when the young master told us." Feng Zilan sighed, "Back then, the young master felt he was too much of a burden for Ayao and me, so he was pondering, and ended up meeting Xinxin by the river..."
"Oh." Shu Xing sighed, "That child had it tough."
"Grandpa, Iâm not suffering." Gu Qingheng walked in from outside, "If I hadnât lost the will to live back then, I wouldnât have met Xinxin, and I wouldnât be living so well now, so everything is fate..."
"Youâre right." Shu Xing smiled again, "If your mother were still alive, she would probably like Xinxin, too, so she could be at peace..."
When Yang Ruxin entered, she noticed everyone was looking at her somewhat... strangely, and couldnât help but touch her face, "I know Iâm pretty, but you donât need to stare at me like that collectively, right? I can be shy too..."
"Pfft!" Shu Luo burst out laughing, "Cousin-in-law, arenât you thick-skinned?"
"Do you even know how to talk?" Before Yang Ruxin could respond, Shu Jingzhi kicked his son to the side, "If you canât speak properly, just shut up."
"Dad, Iâm your own son." Shu Luo shouted, clutching his backside.
"If you werenât my own, Iâd throw you out on the street right now." Shu Jingzhi glared.
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but laugh aloud. She had interacted with this uncle and cousin last time, but back then, they still seemed quite serious, although she could tell this little cousin was a foodie. She didnât expect him to have such a goofy side.
"Enough, you two stop embarrassing us here." Shu Xing shot his son and grandson a glare, "Our Shu Family always maintains a composed and aloof image to the outside, donât ruin it."
Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched; she thought, Grandpa, in her eyes, the Shu Familyâs image was long gone, obviously Shu Jingzhi and his sonâs expressions indicated the same.
As they were laughing and chatting, Aunt Hehua and her daughter arrived, bringing along the pair of twins.
"Wow." Yang Ruxin was instantly taken with these two little ones, "Let me guess, this one is Baojin, and this one is Baoyin, right?"
"Youâre so good." Li Xiang laughed, "Sometimes I canât tell right away, each time I have to check their little feet to distinguish them." Baojin has a tiny black mole on the sole of his foot, which serves as the distinguishing mark.
"Can Xinxin be like you? These two owe their lives to Xinxin." Wang Hehua gave her daughter an eye roll.
"Mom, your favoring sons over daughters is too obvious." Li Xiang exaggeratedly sighed, "You never consider my feelings."
"What feelings do you have?" Wang Hehua poked her daughter.
"Besides, who told you not to be as cute as your brothers?" Yang Ruxin joined in the teasing, letting the two little ones grip her finger, "Right? Weâre cuter than sister..."
The little ones laughed gleefully.
"You guys..." Li Xiang couldnât help stomping her foot, then exaggeratedly sighed, "Thereâs no way out."
Which made everyone burst into laughter.
The two little ones didnât understand why everyone was laughing, they thought they were being entertained, so they laughed even harder, and since they barely sat steadily, the laughter made them wobble even more, rocking on the sofa like two little roly-polies, melting everyoneâs hearts.
