Xu jiushu almost spat out the porridge in his mouth. He tried to maintain his dignity as the head of the family in front of the children and asked in a negotiating tone, ” “Isn’t 10 a little too early?”

At his age, it would be past ten O ‘clock by the time he finished talking and drinking.

Cheng Ying glanced at him. &Quot; the doctor’s suggestion is to go to bed at 10 O ‘clock. Is it still early? ” Did he come as early as you?”

Xu jiushu was speechless.

When he went for a physical examination previously, the doctor said that he had three high schools and had to be careful.

Just like that, the Xu family’s curfew was set at ten O ‘clock.

Su lanxu had to follow the Xu family’s rules now that she was living with them. However, she had to accompany Xie tingxi to social events sometimes, so it was inevitable that she would return late.

Xu Jiansheng was watching TV with his wife on the sofa, while Xu Jialu was sprawled on the sofa, looking at the door while playing games. He absent-mindedly sent a few waves of people to the door, and he didn’t respond to his teammates ‘crazy scolding through his headphones.

When he finally heard the sound of the car engine from outside the door, Xu Jialu immediately turned off the game and sat up straight, pretending to watch TV with his parents.

Su lanxu accompanied Xie tingxi to a drinking party that night. After dinner, they went to the club to play cards. When they rushed back, it was still past 10 pm.

“Mom, dad, I’m back.” Su lanxu saw that they were still awake and took the initiative to greet them. Her tone was apologetic.

After all, he had violated the curfew by coming back after ten O ‘clock.

Xu Jialu and Xu Jiali looked at each other and waited for a good show.

Cheng Ying saw her coming back and stopped watching TV. She got up and walked directly to her. &Quot; Lanlan is back. Are you tired? ” she asked. Did you have dinner? If you don’t, I’ll get you some supper.”

Not only was he not angry, he even greeted her with a smile.

Both Xu Jialu and Xu Jiali were in disbelief, ” It could actually be like this?

“I had a good dinner tonight. Mom, don’t be too busy.” Su lanxu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not angry.

Xu Jiali could bear it, but Xu Jialu couldn’t. &Quot; mom, you’re double-judgmental! Dad and I will be scolded by you even if we come back a minute later. Last time, you even locked dad’s room door. Why didn’t you scold her when she came back late, and even prepared supper for her!”

“Cough cough!” Xu jiushu coughed lightly and glanced at his son.

If they wanted to protest, then so be it. Why did they even bring up their own dark history? did the head of the family not want his face?

Cheng Ying turned back and rolled her eyes at the father and son. &Quot; it’s hard for a girl like Lanlan to go out to work. What’s wrong with coming back late? ”

“Mom, you’re sexist! She works hard, and so do we.”

Cheng Ying sneered, ” what’s wrong with you two men working hard? ” Do you want us to go out and work hard while you two stay at home and enjoy your life?”

Xu Jialu choked. She couldn’t win the argument, so she turned to look at her father. Say something!

Xu jiushu avoided his son’s eyes and pretended to take a sip of tea. I’ve spent my entire life with your mother. When have I ever said anything about her?

Seeing that Xu Jialu and her father were not talking, su lanxu tugged at Cheng Ying’s arm. &Quot; mom, it’s late. You should rest early. &Quot; I’m off tomorrow, I’ll go shopping with you.”

“Alright,” he said. Cheng Ying patted the back of her hand with a smile. &Quot; you should go back to your room and rest. Sleep in tomorrow, and we’ll go out in the afternoon. &Quot;

Su lanxu went upstairs, and Xu Jialu followed behind her. His handsome features were filled with displeasure.

“Tell me, what kind of magic potion did you give my mother? She’s completely obedient to you now. Even Youyou can’t compare to you, let alone me. ”

Su lanxu hung her bag on the clothes rack. As she took off her coat, she turned to him and said softly, &Quot; don’t talk nonsense. Mom still loves the two of you very much. It’s just that the closer the relationship, the less scruples she has! &Quot;

Cheng Ying was good to her because she was not a part of this family, and her parents had passed away, so it was easy to arouse the tolerance and sympathy of the elders.

“Nonsense,” Xu Jialu retorted, ” my mom is good to you. She really dotes on you like her own daughter. &Quot; If you say that, she’ll be sad.”

Su lanxu didn’t continue the conversation. She took out her pajamas and said,”I’m going to take a shower.”

Xu Jialu walked to the bed and sat down. As he played with his phone, he listened to the sound of running water in the bathroom. It would be strange if he said he didn’t have any romantic thoughts.

But he didn’t dare to overstep his boundaries. He didn’t know if she had calmed down after kissing her last time!

She seemed to be in a good mood recently. It had been almost two months since her parents passed away. If he were to take a few more steps forward, she probably wouldn’t be repulsed!

As Xu Jialu’s thoughts ran wild, su lanxu had already walked out of the bathroom. Her long hair was dripping wet, and the water droplets were soaking her pajamas. The thin fabric stuck to her skin, and the looming color of spring seemed to be swaying in the summer.

She walked to the dressing table and began to do her skincare slowly to prevent her skin from getting dry.

Xu Jialu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and offered to help her dry her hair.

Before su lanxu could reject him, he jumped down from the bed, rushed into the bathroom, took out the hairdryer, and walked over.

“......”

Xu Jialu turned on the hairdryer, took the towel from her neck, and gently wiped the water off her hair.

She showed a small part of her neck. Her skin was very white, and her curves were beautiful. Xu Jialu’s heart fluttered when he saw her. He didn’t know what it would feel like to touch her with his fingertips.

Su lanxu continued with her skincare routine. She lowered her eyes and didn’t look at the man in the mirror.

He seemed to be very experienced. His slender fingers weaved through his hair gently and familiarly, without any pain. He even massaged his scalp, making people’s nerves come down involuntarily.

Su lanxu was a little confused, but she quickly understood.

He had had a few girlfriends before, so it wasn’t unusual for him to know how to blow-dry his hair.

Speaking of which, this was a tree planted by someone else, and he was enjoying the shade.

The atmosphere in the room was very quiet, with only the sound of the hairdryer. Xu Jialu glanced at the mirror and said, ” did I hurt you? ”

Su lanxu shook her head, ” No. &Quot;

Xu Jialu could tell that she sounded a little down, so he asked again, ” “Is there something that you’re unhappy about?”

Did that beast Xie tingxi bully her?

“No, I didn’t,” She repeated her words.

Xu Jialu was full of doubts. She was obviously a little unhappy, so why didn’t she tell him?

What were girls thinking?

When her hair was almost dry, Xu Jialu put down the hairdryer and picked up the essential oil to apply it on her hair.

Su lanxu turned around and extended her hand. &Quot; I can do it myself. &Quot;

Xu Jialu avoided her hand and frowned in confusion. &Quot; “What’s wrong with you? If you tell me, I’ll let you do it yourself.”

Seeing his firm attitude, su lanxu hesitated and said softly,”It’s really nothing. I just feel that you don’t have to be so good to me! I used to like you, but I’ve never done anything for you except for my sincere love for you, unlike those girls who have done a lot for you and taught you nothing.”
