Chapter 80 My Number 1
Jiang Ci opened Ms. Hua Lan's beloved bright pink insulated box, took out the compartments one by one and arranged them, washed the small bowls, and scooped a few spoonfuls of soup into them.
He touched the bowl with his slightly cool hand; it was still a bit hot, so he decided to leave it there to cool for a while.
Jiang Ci got a little hot after being busy for a while. He slowly took off his coat and listened to Ms. Hua Lan and Shen Xi and Bai Susu discussing 'interesting' things with enthusiastic smiles.
Tsk, that's quite interesting...
His and Sheng Shen's past secrets, from childhood to adulthood, have all been exposed.
Hua Lan recently gained a new daughter-in-law, and she can't stop smiling; everything they discuss is interesting.
Not to mention that she understands the art of language and human nature. After all, she and Shen Xi had only known each other for a short time, and their common topics were nothing more than their professions, jewelry, and people they both knew.
She spoke thoughtfully, even connecting the conversation to Su Su, occasionally making a lighthearted joke, and managing to keep both women's emotions in check, ensuring that neither was neglected.
The scene was quite lively.
"That brat used to be a lazy bum when he was in school. He was smart, but he couldn't resist his laziness. Once, during a monthly exam, a girl who had just transferred from another class got first place. Humph, that brat was so cocky. Now look what happened. After that, he couldn't beat that girl in any exam."
"Do you know what's even funnier after that? He couldn't beat the girl in the exam, and it was the first time I'd ever seen him come back looking so depressed with his report card. It was also the first time he'd ever come back and immediately started studying."
"The results of it?"
Shen Xi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
Hua Lan laughed heartily and said,
"In the end, I still couldn't beat them."
Shen Xi smiled broadly, looking at Jiang Ci, who had a helpless expression, with a teasing look in her eyes.
Listening to the aunt's description, it was as if one could depict, through just a few words, a boy with a head of black hair lying softly on his head, sitting upright on the table, his head slightly drooping, looking at the test paper in front of him with a face full of frustration and sighing.
Su Su blinked at Shen Xi, who was laughing heartily, and then at Jiang Ci, who looked helpless yet doting. She put down Xiao Qi'an, blinked, and smiled silently.
(Auntie's smile)
Jiang Ci leaned against the cabinet door with his arms crossed, watching the woman on the hospital bed smiling radiantly. He feigned a soft sigh.
"You heartless little brat."
He straightened his cuffs, his eyes turning to Hua Lan, as if kindly revealing the mystery to her.
"Mom, do you know who that girl who's ranked first in her grade is?"
Hua Lan was admiring her daughter-in-law's smile when she heard this, her eyes widened, and she asked, "How should I know?"
She had never seen his report card.
Jiang Ci straightened up, slowly placed the perfectly warm soup into Shen Xi's hands, then lifted Jiang Du off the bed before leisurely answering his mother's questions.
"It's the girl in front of you, Shen Xi."
I came in first place.
This surprised not only Hua Lan, but also Shen Xi.
However, they were surprised for different reasons.
Hua Lan was surprised, yet somewhat pleased.
Her daughter-in-law is that amazing?!
Shen Xi was surprised that although she had no memory of being with Jiang Ci, but...!
That guy actually hired outside help to pass her test!!
Jiang Ci calmly took a tissue and wiped his son's sweaty face.
Little Jiangdu raised his little face slightly, obediently letting his father wipe his face.
Little Qi'an's big eyes were fixed on Jiang Du. She broke free from her mother's embrace and stumbled toward Jiang Du.
During the days that Shen Xi was in a coma, Xiao Jiangdu stayed at his grandmother's house, and Xiao Qi'an stayed at Hua Lan's house. The two little guys have developed a one-sided brotherly bond.
Of course, this was a one-sided decision by Xiao Qi'an towards Jiang Du.
Jiang Du didn't want to be with Xiao Qi'an. Sometimes when he stayed at his grandmother's house, he would worry about his mother. He didn't want to talk. Sometimes, when his mother wasn't paying attention, Xiao Qi'an would secretly follow Jiang Du and call out to his brother.
Xiao Jiangdu didn't want to talk to him, thinking he was stupid.
“Brother Jiangdu…Brother Jiangdu, Xixi…Xixi is awake.” Xiao Qi’an spoke intermittently, her big eyes fixed on Jiangdu.
Jiang Du has been in a bad mood these past few days because of his mother's coma. He's been listless and unwilling to talk to Xiao Qi'an. Xiao Qi'an seems to know what's wrong, and is now simply telling him.
Xixi is awake, don't be sad!
Jiang Du noticed that he kept using the word "Xi Xi," his thin brows were furrowed, and his tone wasn't very pleasant.
“That’s my mom, you should call her… Auntie.”
Yes, this is the correct generational order.
Xiao Jiangdu holds a grudge. He still remembers the last time his mother left, he and his father secretly went to see her, and his mother was still holding this annoying child!
Little Qi'an has round eyes and a little tuft of hair sticking up on his head, making him look quite silly. He poked his chin with one short, white finger, blinked, thought seriously for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Xixi... Auntie"
Jiang Du was a little angry that his mother was "incorrigible." He glanced at his mother, and seeing her talking to his grandmother and Aunt Su, he turned away reassuredly and said angrily,
"What Xixi? It's Auntie. Call her Auntie."
Xiao Qi'an is always clever and knows how to read the wind. "Yes, it's Auntie, not Xixi."
Surprisingly, he didn't stutter and spoke it all in one breath.
Jiang Ci lowered his eyes, watching the two little ones bickering with a bored expression. He chuckled and turned his gaze back to his wife.
"Our Xiaoxi is amazing. She has a great learning ability and her painting skills are top-notch. After you are discharged from the hospital and have rested well, I will hold an art exhibition for you in my name. Even if it's just one painting, I will still do it for you."
Her daughter-in-law is such a good painter, we should not only hold a party, but a really big one!
Shen Xi was both amused and exasperated.
"Auntie, there's no rush."
Shen Xi chatted with Su Su for a while longer.
At this moment, Su Su suddenly remembered the comments online. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Xi Xi, you fainted at the hot pot restaurant. Someone took a picture and posted it online. Someone recognized you. It might be related to that talent show. President Jiang stepped in to suppress it for you."
"Ok?"
Shen Xi hadn't expected this. She glanced at Jiang Ci, then reached for her cold phone on the bedside table and put it on silent.
She turned on her phone and saw 48 incoming calls from Shen Ke.
Mother, my life is over!
A text message from Shen Ke flashed on my phone.
I know you were hospitalized. Are you awake now?
Never mind, I came to see you anyway.
I'm here, but your husband won't let me in.
Shen Xi continued reading until the last item.
Is he still alive?
Shen Xi replied to his message with trembling hands.
