Chapter 2 - I Like the Boy Next Door

Mom Lu received Tang Xiaoxiao's answer, and her heart melted once again. She didn't stop her movements and carefully picked Tang Xiaoxiao up from the ground.

Hmm, if only Lu Yuanqiao could be so obedient and let her kiss and hug him.

In Mama Lu's memory, her son was always the serious type, unlike other children. He never cried or made a fuss, and was incredibly well-behaved. That would have been fine, but the key point was that the child never acted spoiled in front of her, let alone give kisses or hugs.

So from the moment Mrs. Lu saw Tang Xiaoxiao, she took a liking to her.

Hmm, what a cute little girl. Her chubby cheeks are so plump and soft, they look really pleasant to pinch.

Since being picked up by Mama Lu, Tang Xiaoxiao has quieted down quite a bit. With her big eyes scanning the surroundings, she finally met Mama Lu's gaze with a pitiful look.

Mom Lu had already been charmed by Tang Xiaoxiao, and now, under that gaze, her heart was even more delighted. Without thinking much, she gently spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, dear, would you like to come to Auntie's house for a visit?" This sounded, surprisingly, a bit like an abduction.

"Okay." Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled brightly, and she immediately nodded in agreement. Then, she struggled to get down from Mama Lu's arms and picked up the fruit platter she had just casually placed on the ground.

Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao's radiant smile, Mom Lu was also slightly taken aback.

This little guy, where did that little wife demeanor just now go?

However, it surprisingly looks quite pleasing to the eye.

Fearing that Tang Xiaoxiao might not carry it properly, Mama Lu casually took the fruit platter from Tang Xiaoxiao's hands, and didn't forget to free one hand to hold Tang Xiaoxiao's warm little hand.

Yay, I can finally see the handsome guy!

Tang Xiaoxiao is still a child, and her emotions are all written on her face. After hearing Mama Lu agree to let her in, she couldn't contain her excitement and started bouncing around Mama Lu.

However, no matter what, it's still in someone else's home.

Tang Xiaoxiao obediently followed behind Mama Lu. As soon as she entered, she saw the young man who had locked her out earlier. She couldn't help but chuckle, her voice sweet and unexpectedly making her seem incredibly adorable.

"Little brother, little brother." Tang Xiaoxiao, while laughing, didn't forget to call out to someone, filled with happiness and joy.

Uh?

This scene left Mom Lu stunned.

Didn't this girl say that her son bullied her? Shouldn't she have come in and directly accused him? Why is she now calling him "big brother" and looking so happy, as if she weren't the same child who was crying and throwing a tantrum at the door just moments ago?

Lu Yuanqiao was organizing his pencil case when he suddenly heard a crisp shout. His hand paused slightly, his head stiffened for a moment, but he eventually turned to look in Tang Xiaoxiao's direction.

The boy's light gaze was free of any impurities, as if it were meant to be this pure and natural. For Tang Xiaoxiao, this was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.

However, Lu Yuanqiao only glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao briefly before shifting his gaze elsewhere, as if he didn't care at all.

Hmm.

Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes showed a bit more grievance as she couldn't help but mumble, "Does the big brother really not like her?"
