Chapter 265 Day out

An Xiulan bent down to hug the tiny human who wasn’t tiny anymore. “Xiaobao, Jiejie missed you a lot.”

“Xiaobao missed Jiejie a lot, “Lu Xun repeated her words.

“You are my favourite person in the whole world, “An Xiulan told him with a kiss on his chubby cheek. “Let’s take a selfie and let my mom know that I have arrived.”

“Okay, “Lu Xuan went into posing mode as he made a victory sign with her and smiled widely at the camera. The little rice bun looked adorable just like his big sister in the picture.

Later Lu Zhaolin and Song Yifei left for their date. Grandma Lu wasn’t at home either and the two siblings were making a tent with a blanket in her room and playing with it.

“Jiejie, Xiaobao sleepy, “Lu Xun said, yawning as the clock hit ten.

“Okay, lie here, “An Xiulan said as she spread her arm and made him lie there. She hugged him with another arm and dropped a kiss on his forehead. “Xiaobao, Jiejie will tell you a story.”

Lu Xun smiled at her and fell asleep in her arms. Soon after, An Xiulan also found herself falling asleep. Maybe, she was feeling good and so she had such a sleep filled with sweet dreams.

The housekeeper, who was asked to put the boy to sleep, opened the door only to find the two siblings asleep hugging each other. As she saw such a sweet picture, she couldn’t stop herself from saving it on her phone. She sent the picture of the two of them asleep to Lu Zhaolin and Song Yifei and went back to her room after switching off the lights.

An Xiulan and Lu Xun were jumping in the muddy garden as it had rained last night.

‘Splash! Splash!’

“Jiejie, your legs are dirty, “Lu Xun laughed.

“It’s okay, “An Xiulan smiled at him.

“Jiejie, I wanna play train-train, “Lu Xun said.

“Xiaobao, how do we play train-train?” An Xiulan asked him, curiously.

“Like this, “Lu Xun said and then they burst into laughter.

“Xiulan! Xiaobao!” Song Xueyun appeared there with a big wide smile. When she saw the two of them dripping with mud, she made a face but then jumped into the mud with them.

“Yunyun, are you playing train-train with us too?” Lu Xun asked his cousin, curiously.

“Brat, call me Jie, “Song Xueyun said.

“No!” Lu Xun quickly said as he hugged An Xiulan’s legs. “I only have one Jiejie. My Jiejie. No other Jiejie.”

“How mean, “Song Xueyun feigned to be mad but then began playing with the two kids. She said after half an hour, “Guys, I’m hungry and dirty.”

“I have a lot of clothes here. Let’s do each other’s makeovers, “An Xiulan said. Her eyes twinkled with ideas.

“No!” Song Xueyun said, horrified.

“Please, “An Xiulan begged her and in the end, Song Xueyun had to give in.

In An Xiulan’s room, Lu Xun was sitting on the chair while An Xiulan was applying nail paint to his feet while Song Xueyun was painting her feet nails after An Xiulan applied nail paint on her hands and feet.

“Jiejie, my hands?” Lu Xun asked.

“Xiaobao, the teacher will scold you in school if I paint your hand nails, “An Xiulan told him. “But she won’t say anything if I applied nail paint on your feet as you will be wearing shoes.”

“Okay, Jiejie, “Lu Xun smiled widely at her. “Yunyun, I want to apply what Jiejie puts on your face.”

“You can’t, “Song Xueyun strictly said no.

Lu Xun pitifully looked at his sister.

“There there, “An Xiulan applied moisturizer on his face instead of foundation. “Now you look like the most handsome man in the world.”

“Really, Jiejie?” Lu Xun asked with twinkling eyes.

“Yes!” An Xiulan nodded her head. “Go show it to your mommy and daddy.”

Lu Xun ran out of the room to show his handsome face to his parents while An Xiulan applied eyeliner to Song Xueyun’s eyes.

“Let’s hang out today, “Song Xueyun suddenly announced as she looked completely different in the mirror. She was wearing an oversized hoodie with a mini skirt and sneakers while An Xiulan was wearing loose jeans and a crop top.

An Xiulan tossed sunglasses at Song Xueyun and wore one herself too and left the room holding hands.

“Where are my girls going looking so pretty?” Song Yifei asked with a smile. She loved how Song Xueyun always let herself loose around An Xiulan.

“Auntie, can we go out to visit some mall or something?” An Xiulan asked for permission.

“Of course, but don’t forget to take the driver with you, “Song Yifei smiled at the two of them.

The two girls went to the ice cream parlour first and then they went to a nearby park to enjoy their ice creams in peace. As they were about to take a seat, An Xiulan’s eye fell on a certain figure and she pulled Song Xueyun with her.

“What happened?” Song Xueyun asked, startled.

An Xiulan placed a finger on her lips as Gu Shangyan and Yoona passed by.

Song Xueyun’s eyes widened as she understood why the two of them were holding hands.

“They are dating?” Song Xueyun asked in a whisper.

An Xiulan nodded her head. When she saw that Gu Shangyan and Yoona left the park, they sat on the bench in front of an artificial lake, enjoying the view.

“Did they know that you know about them dating?” Song Xueyun asked later.

An Xiulan shook her head. “I don’t want them to feel awkward. I mean, if they don’t want me to know, shouldn’t I pretend that I know nothing?”

Song Xueyun sadly smiled at her. She hugged her friend and placed her head on her shoulder. “You know you are one of my most favourite people in the world.”

“Then, will you not ignore me in the future because of Lu Xuan?” An Xiulan asked with teary eyes.

“I am sorry, Xiulan. I was being a jerk to everyone, “Song Xueyun said with a sad smile.

“Fine, I forgive you, “An Xiulan said. “But you can’t forgive my brother who has nothing been but jerk to you.”

“Alright, “Song Xueyun laughed.

“Can I ask you something?” An Xiulan asked with a serious look.

Song Xueyun nodded her head.

“You know I like Yoona, I have no problem with her dating one of my brothers. It’s just hurt that she is using me as an excuse to see him every time, “An Xiulan sighed. “If you ever dated my brother or you have feelings about him, don’t hide it from me, okay? I just want to be prepared, I don’t like surprises and dealing with them. You know, it’s very scary for me when my friends date my brothers because if things between them go north or south, my friendship will suffer too and I hate parting with people I care for.”

“I promise that if there is anything between me and your brother, you will be the first one to know, “Song Xueyun assured her. “For now, we are only friends. I don’t even know if we even are friends now or not. But nothing romantic going between us.”

“I know Lu Xuan is my brother and the best person in the whole world in my eyes but he doesn’t deserve you, “An Xiulan muttered.

“Stop being so nice or I will steal you from your family, “Song Xueyun said with a smile. “Come on, let’s hit the mall.”

“Tomorrow is Sunday. Why not stay at your Aunt’s and we will go to school together on Monday?” An Xiulan suggested.

“Fine with me, “Song Xueyun agreed.

On the other side, Lu Xuan was playing video games alone in the house as his brother and sister weren’t at home. He kinda felt lonely today but he didn’t complain.

“Where is Shangyan?” An Qinyan asked her son. “Don’t tell me he went to the library on weekend too?”

Lu Xuan shrugged. He couldn’t tell them that Yoona and Gu Shangyan were on a date once again. It would be against his bro code.

“This boy, “Gu Yanxi tsked. “He needs to stop studying so much and focus more on the family. He will miss out the best of his life this way.” He looked at his wife and said, “Why don’t you have a talk with him? He can’t keep going like this. Even An Xiulan began copying his study methods. I’m worried about her health now.”

“Wait, Teeny was sick?” Lu Xuan asked, surprised.

“Lu Xuan, you don’t know this?” An Qinyan asked him. “She has been studying day and night to improve ber score that she developed digestive problems. This is the reason why I sent her to your father’s house so she could relax there.”

“If you knew, you should have sent me too, ” Lu Xuan mumbled. “I would have taken care of her.”

“For the last few weeks, you both have been at each other’s neck. I sent her there to relax not to indulge in more fights with you.”

“I didn’t know mom, ” Lu Xuan muttered.
