Cheng Kou got up early, changed the sheets and quilt covers, and took them to the bathroom to wash them. When she went to the balcony to hang them up, she was already sweating, her arms were sore, and she had no strength. Xia Linchen was working in the darkroom, and Shen Yinran was sleeping in. Cheng Kou sighed and could only rely on herself.
"Do you need help?" Cheng Kou turned around and saw Su Yan standing there, quiet and cold, like a scenery.
Before Cheng Kou could reply, Su Yan bent down without being invited and picked up her bed sheet across the fence.
The fence only reached Cheng Kou's waist, so she jumped over it easily last time. For Su Yan's height, it was not a hindrance at all.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and grab it." Su Yan held out two corners of the bed sheet, motioning her to hold it tight. The two of them stretched out the wrinkled bed sheet with four hands, exerted a little force, stretched it flat and shook it a few times. Su Yan handed the two corners in his hand to Cheng Kou, watched her turn around to hang it on the clothesline, and leaned over to grab the quilt cover. The two of them shook out the quilt cover as before, and Cheng Kou hung it up.
The cotton fabric swayed in the wind and the gentle sunlight shone on it. Cheng Kou shook his arms and couldn't help feeling relaxed.
"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!" Little Squid turned around the living room for a few times but couldn't find anyone. He saw the sliding door to the balcony was open, so he ran over and stuck his head out, "Xiao Wu! I found you!"
"You're impolite." Su Yan scolded lightly, but there was no blame in his tone, "What's the matter?"
"Can we go to the movies tonight?" The little cuttlefish grabbed the hem of his shirt and asked pleadingly.
Su Yan refused without even thinking, "No."
"No, you have to take me to see it." The little cuttlefish dragged out a long and coquettish voice, and hugged Su Yan's thighs with both hands, as if he would not let go unless he agreed.
Cheng Kou chuckled. When the little squid saw her, his eyes lit up and he acted cute, "Pretty sister, would you like to come with us?"
"Eh?" The topic suddenly turned to herself. Cheng Kou felt a lot of pressure. Both the big and the small looked at her straight. She didn't know who to listen to. But to be honest, she also wanted to watch the movie that Xiao Moyu mentioned...
Su Yan asked, "Do you want to go together?"
Does this mean that she is invited? Cheng Kou wanted to refuse at first, after all, the premiere was tomorrow at midnight, but she couldn't resist the temptation of a group of handsome men and watching a movie with Su Yan, so she nodded.
"Oh yeah!" the little cuttlefish shouted and jumped several times on the spot.
Although they were going to watch the midnight show, Su Yan planned to go out in the afternoon and take Little Squid out for a walk, so that the good weather would be worth it.
Xia Linchen fell asleep immediately after leaving the darkroom. Cheng Kou could only tell Shen Yinran about her whereabouts, which resulted in her screaming. Although Cheng Kou had foresight and covered her ears, she was still startled. Shen Yinran was still in an excited state, pinching and twisting Cheng Kou, muttering to herself, "Does this count as a date with Su Yan? No, there's a little light bulb, what a pity."
"But this little light bulb is super cute. You'll know once you see it."
Shen Yinran sighed, "It's a pity that I always stay at home, so I don't have as good luck as you to have a romantic encounter like Su Yan."
Cheng Kou corrected her for a long time that Su Yan just invited her casually, and it was not her affair, but Shen Yinran didn't listen at all. She was too lazy to continue and just let her be.
Shen Yinran took out her dating tools, and tormented Cheng Kou, dressing her up beautifully before letting her go out.
Su Yan had been waiting at the door with Little Moyu. The eyes of the two, one big and one small, were fixed on her, making her bite her lip uncomfortably, removing some of her lip gloss.
The little cuttlefish said sweetly, "Sister, you look so beautiful today. You are the second most beautiful person in the world besides mom!"
Su Yan retracted his gaze, tapped his head gently, and said, "If your aunt and aunt heard what you said, they would probably cry."
The little cuttlefish stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly, "Just don't tell them."
"You're so smart." Su Yan wanted to hit him, but he dodged and hid behind Cheng Kou.
Su Yan glanced at Cheng Kou again, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and said softly, "Let's go."
Cheng Kou didn't expect that Su Yan would bring her and Xiao Moyu to the largest high-end shopping mall in City C. Su Yan, who was busy with official duties and had a lot of things to do every day, and someone would deliver things to his door with just a phone call, actually came to the mall in person, which was also a strange thing.
The little squid had an ice cream in each hand, eating it happily, with a satisfied smile on his face. Su Yan and Cheng Kou followed him on the left and right, especially Cheng Kou, who was afraid that he would be knocked down, not knowing how amazed the eyes of others were when they looked at the three of them.
In the eyes of passers-by, this family of three - the husband is handsome and has excellent temperament. It is obvious that he comes from a good family and has a successful career. The wife is pretty, with a sweet smile and clear eyes. Not to mention the children, they are simply adorable!
Cheng Kou had no idea what they were thinking. Seeing the little squid eating the ice cream, she hurriedly ran over to hold him, squatted in front of him, and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and fingers. When she looked up, she saw Su Yan watching this scene with a smile in his eyes. Cheng Kou was a little embarrassed and hurriedly got up to find a trash can.
When they came back, Su Yan had already brought Little Moyu into a children's clothing store next door. Cheng Kou picked up a small and exquisite shirt and was shocked by the number on the price tag. This piece of clothing was her monthly salary. Su Yan thought the clothes recommended by the shopping guide were good, so he asked her to pack them. The shopping guide smiled and wrote out the receipt, and told Su Yan a number. Cheng Kou felt painful just by listening to it. Su Yan just hummed lightly, handed over a credit card, paid the bill, and left with the bag.
They had dinner in the mall. This time, Cheng Kou looked at the astronomical prices on the menu and couldn't bring himself to buy.
Su Yan said to her softly, "You treated me to a meal last time, so it's only right to return the favor. Just order whatever you like."
The little cuttlefish nodded desperately beside him, "Sister, the food here is delicious."
In the end, Cheng Kou gave the choice to Little Squid, and the little foodie happily ordered all the food he liked. Cheng Kou felt sorry for the food again, but the person who paid the bill didn't stop her, so she just followed suit and enjoyed it.
The top floor of the mall is the most luxurious cinema in City C. It takes up an entire floor and the prices are several times higher than those of ordinary cinemas. Naturally, Cheng Kou has never been there.
There are especially many people here tonight. Cheng Kou heard the young girl talking next to him and learned that a movie premiere would be held here today.
Su Yan bought the tickets, and a waiter led them to the VIP room to rest. As soon as he entered the room, Cheng Kou heard the surprised voice of Little Moyu, "Auntie!"
"Oh, Moyu, kiss my baby." Qin Shan picked up the little cuttlefish that rushed over and kissed him on both cheeks. The ticklish little cuttlefish giggled.
The little squid hugged her neck and kissed her back generously, "Aunt, Xiaowu and the beautiful sister came to watch a movie with me."
"Oh? What are you watching?" Qin Shan asked with interest, his eyes swept over Su Yan, and he sneered again, "Oh, Mr. Su actually came to the cinema again, it's rare, I urged you so many times before but you refused to come, but today you are in a good mood."
Little Moyu pointed at the poster of a foreign action movie that she had been dreaming about for a long time, which caused Qin Shan to pinch her. She hummed and said, "You are so young and yet you worship foreign things. You have no conscience. She is the elder sister and I am the aunt. Do I look old?"
The little cuttlefish tilted its head and thought about it, as if something was wrong.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, Cheng Kou patted his head and said softly, "Little Squid, call me Aunt Cheng Kou from now on."
The little cuttlefish nodded, "Okay, pretty auntie."
Su Yan went out to answer the phone. Cheng Kou sat down, smiled at Qin Shan, and greeted her politely, "Miss Qin."
"Don't call me that. Just call me by my name." Qin Shan waved his hands. He was totally different from the arrogant attitude he had the last time they met. He leaned lazily on the sofa and muttered, "Su Yan, this guy, even knows how to bring girls to the movies."
Cheng Kou recalled their relationship and explained in a panic.
"Eh? Do you think I'm his fiancée?" Qin Shan laughed, and the laziness just now disappeared. After a long time, he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Cheng Kou, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh. I ran into some trouble some time ago, and Su Yan just wanted to help me. Although it is true that he asked me if I wanted to get married, I didn't agree to him. I won't joke about my lifelong happiness with him, and I can't live facing his expressionless face all the time."
Cheng Kou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy for Qin Shan's confession or light a candle for the despised Su Yan.
But the marriage was not real. Cheng Kou lowered her eyes and felt secretly happy in her heart.
Su Yan came back soon, talking on the phone as he walked, "Yes, I couldn't persuade him, so I brought him to see it."
Gu Luo smiled on the other end of the phone, "Xiao Wu, thank you for your hard work. Last time your brother and I took him to a midnight show, the kid fell asleep in just a few minutes."
Su Yan smiled and said nothing. He handed the phone to Little Moyu and said, "Here, it's your turn."
The little cuttlefish ran to the other corner of the room very obediently to have a loving phone call with her mother. Su Yan was sitting on the single sofa opposite them. Qin Shan raised her long legs and kicked him rudely.
"I've agreed with Cheng Kou that I'll invite her to the next movie premiere. Will you come?"
Su Yan glanced at her indifferently, then turned to Cheng Kou and said, "Qin Shan, she's an actress by profession. She's the troublesome sister I told you about last time."
Until the beginning of the movie, Cheng Kou was still thinking about the scene of the two brothers and sisters bickering, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Su Yan caught a glimpse of the glowing eyes in the darkness and curled the corners of his mouth silently.
The little cuttlefish sat in the middle. During the fighting scenes, he was sometimes too nervous to move, and sometimes he danced with joy.
After a while, the scene suddenly changed into a scene where the hero and heroine kissed each other and expressed their love.
Su Yan did not stop Xiao Moyu from watching such intimate scenes. Cheng Kou was a little embarrassed, and then she heard Su Yan speak as if he had guessed her thoughts, "He is used to seeing my brother and sister-in-law showing affection at home, and he is used to it."
So... Cheng Kou couldn't help but doubt the educational policy of the Su family...
But the plot was moving more and more towards the bed. Cheng Kou looked down at Little Moyu, only to find that he was already asleep.
Cheng Kou shook his head in amusement, picked up the popcorn he was holding and put it aside. When he looked up again, he saw Su Yan had somehow propped himself up and passed over the little squid. His handsome face was close at hand, his thin lips slightly parted, and he called softly, "Cheng Kou."
Cheng Kou was stunned. She could no longer hear any sound but her own beating heartbeat, mixed with Su Yan's even breathing, blooming like fireworks.
