Lu Anru frowned angrily, clenched his fist and shook it in front of the monkey.
The death gaze stared at the monkey and asked one word at a time: "Are you going or not?"
"I'm going, I'm going!"
Xiaoqiao raised her hands, ran downstairs in surrender, and knocked on the door of her parents' room.
The aunt glared at her daughter who was visiting her late at night. She subconsciously felt resentment in her heart and expelled her, "Who are you bothering again in the middle of the night? Go back to the house and sleep."
Xiaoqiao showed off the good-natured look she had just shown to Lu Anru, blinked her innocent eyes, and said affectionately in a Hong Kong accent, "Mommy, I want to talk to you about important life events. My cousin gave me some rules, and based on what I learned, There are so many key points in the information that I want to share with my baby.”
Sure enough, after hearing about the important events in her life and her cousin, her aunt's expression softened.
She shouted to her naked husband in the room: "Wenqing, please get up and go to sleep in a small room tonight."
Xiaoqiao's father always obeyed his wife's orders, and the matter was related to his daughter's future, so he immediately put on his clothes and made room for his two favorite women.
Lu Anru lay on the stairs and peeped, confirming that Xiaoqiao had successfully entered the house and would not act like a monster again, so he walked to his house with confidence.
As I walked quickly to the door, I found a handsome man, Sheng Ming.
Xiao Ming ran up to Sheng Ming, hugged his arm, and asked happily: "Xiao Ming has insomnia?"
"no."
Sheng Ming hesitated to speak. He had rehearsed it several times before coming here, so that he could successfully tell the secret that had been hidden for many years. Only then was he here.
But when I saw that face full of love, I became stuck again if I could speak smoothly.
"No?" Lu Anru became more curious and speculated to himself: "Is there anything interesting and big that you want to tell me?"
"That's right." Sheng Ming lifted Lu Anru's hand up to block her soft position.
The ambiguous reply did not affect Lu Anru's mood. She would be very happy as long as she saw Sheng Ming. Sheng Ming is her pride. Her brother is strong and self-disciplined, and he only treats her well.
Use the password to open the door, help Sheng Ming go inside, and warmly invite: "Come on, lie on the bed and chat. Xiao Ming can sleep in my room tonight."
As soon as the envy-inducing invitation came out, Sheng Ming's face turned ugly, with two blushes quickly spreading over her face and gradually turning white.
Sheng Ming stopped and sat down on the sofa, La Lu Anru sat next to him, took out a chocolate bar from his pocket and handed it to her.
With one move, Lu Anru was restrained from moving around. The petite person focused on tearing open the chocolate packaging bag and started licking it seriously.
"An Ru, do you have someone you like?" When the words came to his lips, he changed the question.
Sheng Ming also hated himself for being so indecisive. Even when facing thousands of mutated monsters, he had never been like this before.
"Yes, I have."
The two-word reply was as heavy as a thousand pounds, making his heart skip a beat.
"I like Xiao Ming, I like my parents, I like Ella, I like Feng Meng, and there are many, many others."
The unintentional heavy breathing made Sheng Ming feel like he was on a roller coaster. He missed Lu Anru's burning gaze, and he didn't want to read the love inside.
He knew that this love was pure and sincere, but it was not what he wanted.
"You misunderstood. I'm asking you if you have a crush on the opposite sex?" Sheng Ming elaborated on the question.
Lu Anru replied without thinking: "Yes, I like Meng Meng, Zhou Sheng, and the twin brothers quite a lot."
The chicken-talk-duck dialogue made Sheng Ming helpless and continued to point out the core of the problem: "The love between men and women."
"Oh," Lu Anru pursed her lips, shook her head, and said honestly: "No, when I find someone I like, I will be the first to tell Xiao Ming."
"If you like him, tell me and I will help you analyze his character." Sheng Ming agreed solemnly.
"Okay." Lu Anru agreed without much thought and asked curiously: "Does Xiao Mingguang want to ask me about this?"
"No," Sheng Ming paused and said repressedly, "Grandma's birthday is tomorrow."
Let him be greedy for a few more days and see how peaceful he is with his heart and eyes full of him. Although I didn't say what I really wanted to say this time, at least I got a guarantee. You can know Lu Anru's thoughts in advance so that you can have countermeasures.
Of course, he doesn't like to react passively. Try to make preparations before then, minimize Lu Anru's bad mood, and take the initiative to inform him.
Lu Anru put half of the chocolate bar in his mouth into his mouth, slapped his legs in annoyance, and blamed himself: "Oh, I'm such a fool, I forgot in a hurry!"
"It's okay. I think you've been busy lately and may not have time to prepare gifts. Do you want me to help you prepare them?"
Faced with Sheng Ming's thoughtful inquiry, Lu Anru was heartbroken for a few seconds, then shook her head and refused: "No, such a gift is so perfunctory. I will finish the training early tomorrow and make a gift for grandma with my own hands."
"Okay." Sheng Ming scraped Lu Anru's nose, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "Go to bed early, I'm going back to the room."
Lu Anru vividly reproduced Xiao Ming's reluctance just now, grabbed Sheng Ming's sleeves and shook them, and said coquettishly: "Let's sleep together, Xiao Ming. School starts the day after tomorrow, and I will live in the dormitory. It will be a long time before I can be alone with you."
Sheng Ming's Adam's apple slid twice quickly, he closed his eyes heavily, and compromised: "You go take a shower, I will come back to the house later. After you finish washing, I will help you dry your hair before I come back."
"But I want to,"
Lu Anru was interrupted by Sheng Ming before he finished his chatty application: "Go ahead and have a good rest at night. Only then will you have the strength to make a surprise gift for grandma during the day."
"Okay." Lu Anru put on a new pair of pajamas and walked into the bathroom melancholy.
I finished rinsing in a hurry and planned to go out early to chat with Sheng Ming for a while. While I was combing my hair, a gentle warm breeze blew in from the gap in the frosted glass door.
Cleverly timing it, she combed her hair and let the warm air dry it.
He opened the door and saw Sheng Ming walking to the door.
A man who is 23cm taller than her needs to raise his head slightly to meet her eyes.
The beautiful almond-shaped eyes she inherited from her mother looked deeply at her and said the words she least wanted to hear: "I'm going back to my room, and I'm having a good sleep."
Suppressing the urge to pester her, she pursed her lips and said sadly, "Okay, sweet dreams, Xiao Ming."
After the door closed, Lu Anru walked back to the bed in frustration and lay down on the soft bed.
He buried his head in the sheets and whispered his depression: "Xiao Ming doesn't like to be close to me anymore, why does he treat me like this? I feel so stuck, I really want to hit someone!"
He especially wanted to fight the suspect who was most likely to offend his beloved brother.
He picked up a pillow and covered his head. With the noise-cancelling device, he amplified his voice and said, "Xiao Ming must hate me for some reason!"
"No, you are wrong."
Xiao Luan sat next to Lu Anru, fearing that she would cover herself to death. She took off the pillow with both hands and said softly, "The young master likes you very much. Because he likes you so much, he keeps a safe distance from you."
"I don't believe it." Lu Anru covered his ears with his hands and turned over to lie down.
After waiting for a few seconds, Xin Nian Nian's explanation did not arrive.
I sat up and looked at my confidant sister who was standing straight beside the bed, and asked sadly: "Why don't you play your cards according to the routine?"
"What's the trick?" Xiao Luan was confused.
Lu Anru crossed his legs and explained carefully to Xiao Luan: "The normal interaction process of human beings should be, if I say I don't believe it, you show me evidence and convince me until I believe it. How can I give up right after I try hard? Perseverance in many things will lead to results." ah."
Persistence will bring results...
The words of strong faith knocked on the door of Xiao Luan's heart. Xiao Luan suddenly realized a lot. He nodded vigorously and responded: "You are right."
Next time you meet someone you like, you must be braver and tell him a lot of things that are buried in your heart. Even if you receive bad words, you must persist in finishing your words.
Lu Anru sat on the bed blankly, staring at the absent-minded eldest sister speechlessly, and asked without being discouraged: "Where is your persuasion?"
At night, I encountered strange people one after another, and strange things happened one after another.
Xiao Luan came back to her senses, smiled shyly, and said softly: "The young master looks at you much more intensely than he looks at others, including just now. I secretly observed him when you were taking a bath, and his eyes always stopped at you setting up the bed. Here’s the photo of the head.”
Lu Anru scratched his head frantically, messing up Sheng Ming's blow-dried hair, and complained: "Why is he so awkward with me? I'm not an outsider."
"Some feelings are too caring, and instead they become cautious." Xiao Luan gently helped her arrange her hair, and said firmly: "Anyway, I guarantee it with the most beautiful feathers on my body, the young master loves you very much."
"Okay, maybe he has something on his mind, and he doesn't seem willing to talk about it. Forget about sleeping, one day you will know sooner or later, so refuse to bother yourself."
He fell on the bed, patted the place next to him, and called: "Come on, turn into a blue bird and lie next to me to keep me warm."
The demand was presented, and Xiao Luan could not refuse and walked into the bathroom. Then he flapped his wings and flew to Lu Anru and fell into her arms.
I hugged the nice little bird and slept until dawn, only to be woken up by the alarm clock.
She set an alarm for five o'clock and calculated that one round of training would take two hours to complete, completing three rounds before lunch. Set aside plenty of time in the afternoon to make gifts for grandma and attend the birthday party in the evening.
After getting up and scrubbing, she went downstairs. There was a pale yellow light on the kitchen, and someone had gotten up earlier than her.
I sneaked outside the kitchen, peeked out, and saw my mother breaking many eggs into a porcelain bowl, as if she was making a cake.
I had an idea and found a suitable gift.
He tiptoed behind Lu's mother, tilted his head to her right side playfully, and called sweetly: "Mom, good morning."
There was no trace of panic on Mother Lu's face, which proved that she had noticed her coming, but she still sighed: "An Ru scared me, you got up so early."
This simple sentence completely catered to her little thoughts. She had read a report before, saying that there was a certain kind of person who could get along well with anyone. Because this kind of person has a very high emotional intelligence, he can detect changes in the state of others at any time and make appropriate accommodations.
My mother is exactly this kind of person, kind and understanding.
"Hey, mom, are you making a cake?" Lu Anru's eyes sparkled.
"Yes."
Mother Lu beat the eggs and covered them with plastic wrap.
Wash your hands, open the refrigerator, and ask her patiently: "Would you like salty tofu or sweet soy milk for breakfast?"
"Sweet soy milk with bread."
Lu Anru selected the fast food, glanced deep into the hall, and said meaningfully: "Mom, I was so busy that I forgot to prepare a gift for grandma. I'll make a cake. You can go get some more sleep and keep the beaten eggs." I’ll steam some chicken cakes for everyone and I’ll make them again in the afternoon.”
Lu's mother followed her daughter's gaze and saw a flickering fire, so she got up early secretly, but she didn't hide it from her husband after all.
He touched the top of Lu Anru's head and agreed: "Okay, Anru will go to training after eating."
"Well, sweet dreams, mom and dad." Lu Anru waved to his mother and then toward the hall.
The father put out the cigarette, came over and hugged Lu's mother, gave his daughter an appreciative look, and praised, "You are the most sensible."
After saying goodbye to her parents, Lu Anru came to the yard alone, took a breath of fresh morning air, and got ready for training.
In the morning, I was in excellent physical condition. It only took three hours to complete the first two rounds, and I finished at 8:30.
Grandma called her over and over again to have breakfast. Adhering to the principle of longevity, she stopped making arrangements and walked back to the restaurant.
Smell the aroma of rice and feel hungry.
He gulped down six buns, drank the entire bowl of soy milk, and returned to the yard with high spirits to continue the third round of training.
Xiaoqiao and she walked out at the same time, standing next to their own vegetable sheds, encouraging each other: "Sister, come on, let's try to finish three rounds in the afternoon and participate in meaningful activities in the evening."
As he spoke, he glanced mysteriously at the location of grandma in the house. In the morning, everyone discussed in the new group to give the old man a surprise, and some things had to be kept secret for the time being.
"Okay, I've finished this round for three rounds. Come on."
Lu Anru's understatement almost turned into an invisible sword and chopped off Xiaoqiao's self-esteem. Adjust your mood by yourself and say a sad 'hmm'.
The third round of training was a little slower, and Lu Anru finished almost twelve o'clock.
After lunch, Lu's mother took her grandmother to visit the neighbors, giving Lu Anru room to show off her talents.
Get the stand from a small place, clip it to the edge of the kitchen sink, open the search engine and type: birthday cake tutorial.
Click on the search results one by one, delete and select eight times, and keep the most understandable videos.
She chose to play it twice at normal speed, looked at Xiao Luan who was giving her the blow, and asked, "Do you remember the process?"
Xiao Luan replied solemnly: "I remember."
"Okay, you go and whip the cream, and I'll make the cake center."
Lu Anru put on gloves, separated the egg whites in a formal manner, and used chopsticks to beat the foam. Add the sugar and continue beating until the foam becomes creamy.
Add sugar, flour, and milk to the egg yolks and stir well. Pour in half of the creamy egg whites. Stir evenly up and down and then pour in the other half of the creamy egg whites. Stir repeatedly, brush the edges of the mold with a little oil, and pour the stirred stuff into it.
Finally, follow the tutorial instructions and bake at 190° up and down for 28 minutes.
Looking at Xiao Luan who was still stirring the egg whites slowly, he gave reliable advice: "Hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to turn it into foam."
"Okay." Xiao Luan responded and continued to concentrate on stirring the egg beater.
In fact, I have an automatic food processor at home. Put the ingredients in and the food processor can make all kinds of delicious cakes.
But that kind of gift has no soul and must be made with one’s own hands. Xiao Luan didn't prepare a gift like her, so they just finished it together.
Sit on the sofa in the living room and wait, enter the Ella chat box, and chat with your best friends.
Time flies by talking about funny things and school gossip.
Suddenly, a scream broke Lu Anru's good mood.
"I'll go, sister, go to the kitchen and have a look. There's such a strong burning smell, it seems like something is on fire."
Lu Anru sniffed and distinguished the familiar smell of cake from the burnt smell. Feeling bad, he stood up and rushed to the kitchen.
