Chapter 144 The 144th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
"Okay, thank you, Xinghe." Li Xingyu saw Xinghe raise his hand, tilted his head and thought for a moment. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, he rubbed his face against Xinghe's hand.
"!" Xinghe's eyes widened instantly, and she covered her mouth with her other hand. Her ear tips and face flushed red in an instant, but the hand that was touching Li Xingyu's cheek not only did not want to withdraw, but also took a step closer.
Seeing Xinghe's reaction, Li Xingyu tilted her head in confusion. Wasn't spreading out her hands meant for her to put her face on it?
Xinghe lowered the hand that was half-covering her mouth, and with her other hand, she pinched Li Xingyu's smooth and tender cheek with a good mood, and then reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"Ahem, Little Feather, come here." Li Manzhou's voice rang in Li Xingyu's ears. Following the sound, Li Xingyu saw Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue sitting together, and Li Qingyue was waving at her.
"Great-Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong?" Li Xingyu got up and quickly rubbed the heads of Tian Shu and Li Yue next to her, then walked over to Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue.
"Little Feather, don't be nervous later. Just act like you normally would. Yu and Xi are both good kids. You should also have a good talk with Che and the others. After all, you'll be spending a lot of time together in the future. Can you do that?" Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue moved to the sides and pulled Li Xingyu to sit between them.
Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue were discussing future plans, their concerns about Li Xingyu, and some guidance on the matter of the Guardians, and they didn't pay attention to what the other people in the living room were saying.
“Yes, yes, I know. Xinghe just told me about Aunt Yu and Uncle Xizi. I’ve met Youfinar once before, and I think we can get along normally. As for Che and Cain, we chat together on the quantum computer, and they seem like easy people to get along with. Great-Grandma and Grandma don’t need to worry too much. I can handle it.” Li Xingyu listened carefully to what Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue said, nodded gently, knowing that they were worried about her, and held one of their hands to comfort them.
“I see. Xinghe is a good child. If Xiaoyu has already made up her mind, then you must get along well with her in the future. As for Tian Shu and Li Yue, Xiaoyu must not do anything to make them sad, understand?” Li Manzhou held Li Xingyu’s hand and patted her shoulder with the other hand. Her voice was gentle and kind, but her words were serious and earnest.
"Yes, I know. They are all very excellent, and of course I am not bad either. I am working hard." Li Xingyu wrinkled her nose a little shyly, looked gently at Xinghe, Tianshu and Liyue who had somehow ended up together, nodded slightly, and smiled at Li Manzhou.
“We don’t necessarily have to tell you these things, but in this regard, there’s very little that your great-grandmother, your mother, your father, your older brother and sister can do to help you. There are many things that you need to learn, understand, and take action on your own.” Li Qingyue patted Li Xingyu’s hand with her other hand and sighed softly.
Both Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue had complicated expressions. Li Xingyu was the youngest child in their family, but now that she had been chosen as the guardian, she would have to learn and handle many things on her own.
The two of them, no, everyone in the Li family, had mixed feelings. It was the feeling that their child had grown up and needed to learn to be independent. They wanted to take care of her and let her live a carefree life, but they knew deep down that they couldn't stay with her and take care of her forever.
Rather than letting her grow up too quickly on her own later, it's better to start teaching her carefully now and let her become independent step by step, so that she won't be forced to grow up too quickly later.
But she can't be too independent. There are so many people at home she can rely on. To them, Li Xingyu has always been that spoiled and warm-hearted child.
This feeling is probably the sweet trouble that comes with having children.
Whether it was the group sitting in the living room, Li Shihhan, Mo Lichen, and Allentas who were on their way, or Li Xinghua and Yin Lian who had already arrived at their destination, their feelings were not unrelated, but rather exactly the same.
After all, she is the youngest girl in the family, and with such a cute and lovable personality and appearance, it's not surprising that she is pampered by everyone.
"I know, it's all because Great-Grandma and Grandma like me, and you've all thought of me. I'm so happy, how could I dislike you? Grandma, you're overthinking it. I'm Li Xingyu." Li Xingyu shook the hands of Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue, her tone cheerful and lively, yet also somewhat matter-of-fact.
She is Li Xingyu, the great-granddaughter/granddaughter/daughter of the Li family. Although she is not very good at communicating with people and has some social anxiety, she is not timid or inferior because of this. She has her own way of getting along with people.
There are no perfect people in the world, only clever people, people who can pretend, and people who are good at presenting themselves. Can you say they are bad?
No, because they have a very clear understanding of themselves and others. They know what kind of image others accept or like. If they want, they are perfect.
Who doesn't have several public personas? Well-educated and reasonable, lively and adorable, dignified and elegant, gentle and considerate...
No one is the same at home and in public, in front of family and strangers; it's just how they choose to present themselves.
"Alright, alright, our little feather is so smart, she'll definitely be able to do everything well. But remember, no matter what happens, we're still here, okay?" Li Manzhou also took into account Li Xingyu's hairstyle, and simply flicked her nose with her finger, her voice and tone kind and gentle.
Li Qingyue didn't speak, but simply nodded and then silently tightened her grip on Li Xingyu's hand.
"Yes, thank you, Great-Grandma and Grandma." Li Xingyu leaned against Li Manzhou's shoulder and gently nuzzled him, then held Li Qingyue's hand in return.
Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue were also worried because Li Xingyu didn't like to communicate and get along with strangers. Their little Yu Mao was a very slow-to-warm-up person. It would take at least a year and a half to get along with her like a good friend.
Xinghe is because they have been talking about her, and although they have never met, she knows that there is such a person. So Li Xingyu is curious about her and has a little bit of affection for her. Of course, the main reason is that she is good-looking and has a good temperament. Otherwise, the way she interacts with her now would be like politely interacting with a stranger.
Tian Shu's situation is similar to Xing He's. She and Li Xing Yu have been spending quite a bit of time together on the StarNet. They share some interests and common interests. Otherwise, given their somewhat introverted personalities, they would be awkwardly interacting like strangers.
The mark that appeared unexpectedly during the awakening of Li Yue affected the way the two got along. Her fluffy body was also a big plus for Li Xingyu in their relationship.
However, the five people who came today were all people I had never met before. Apart from Yufinal, whom I had met briefly before, Che and Cain had also chatted for a couple of days. Although they might still be a little unfamiliar with each other, it was already quite good.
Everyone in the Li family and Tian Shu already knew Li Xingyu quite well. Even Li Yue, after spending nearly half a month with him, had a basic understanding of Li Xingyu's personality.
Now, everyone in the Li family, as well as Tian Shu and Li Yue, is filled with worry: they hope that Xiao Yu Mao/Xiao Xing Xing won't be unable to utter a single word later, as that would be quite impolite. But if they force her to speak, wouldn't that put too much pressure on her?
"Wow~"
The sound of the door opening came from the entrance, and everyone talking in the living room turned their heads and looked over.
A woman and two men walked in through the door:
The girl walked in the middle, wearing a white ankle-length cheongsam with lily-of-the-valley patterns, and beige leather high heels. Her long, black, waist-length hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore high-quality pearl jewelry. A joyful smile graced her delicate and radiant face.
The man on the left is tall and well-proportioned, wearing a black suit and a dark red tie. He also wears a pair of exquisite gold half-rimmed glasses with thin chains hanging from his shoulders. He has a gentle smile on his face and exudes a refined and easygoing temperament.
The man on the right is dressed in a black military uniform with dazzling gold buttons and tassels hanging from his shoulders, adding a touch of noble elegance to his powerful and imposing aura.
"Huh? Mom, Dad, and Alantas's dad, why are you back?" Li Xingyu stood up from the sofa and ran towards the women who entered the living room.
The visitors were Li Shihhan, Mo Lichen, and Allentas. They had been working overtime for the past few days to handle all the urgent matters so that they could return to the Li family ancestral home today to meet Li Xingyu's guardians.
Although not all of Li Xingyu's guardians have arrived, two-thirds of them have already come. Putting aside Xinghe and Tianshu, whom they have already spent time with, they have never met the others and only know them from their files. They definitely need to meet them.
This is the guardian of my precious daughter, and who knows, he might even be her partner in the future, so I definitely have to take him seriously.
"Oh my~ Our little feather looks so good today. It's grown quite a bit taller since it fully awakened. Did you miss your mom and dad?" Li Shihan hugged Li Xingyu who rushed over, her smile growing brighter. She rubbed her face against Li Xingyu's while carrying her toward the sofa, making sure to give herself and Mo Lichen a shout-out.
"Hehe, Mom looks great today too. I've grown 30 centimeters taller! I miss Mom and Dad, Elentas Dad, Jinzhou Dad, Alandi Dad, Siweier Dad, Uther Dad, Andrew Dad, and Shuntes Dad every day, but except for Lost Dad, none of you come back to play with me. How annoying!" Li Xingyu counted her fathers on her fingers, and at the end, she couldn't help but pout and complain.
“We were wrong. After we finish what we’re doing, Mom and Dad will take you to play, okay? Besides, your dad, Elentas, has specially applied for a long vacation so you can stay at home for quite a while.” Mo Lichen smiled and poked Li Xingyu’s cheek when he heard her childish (?) accusation.
"Really?" With Mo Lichen poking her face, Li Xingyu's speech was a little unclear, but her gaze still followed his words and moved to Allentas, who had been watching her without saying a word.
"Okay, little feather, don't be angry. I'll play with you." Allentas looked at Li Xingyu, who was looking at him earnestly, and unconsciously softened his expression, nodding.
Li Shihhan, Mo Lichen, and Allentas greeted Li Manzhou and the others who were sitting on the sofa. After Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue responded, they found a seat and sat down.
Li Shihhan was asked to sit down on the sofa with Li Xingyu in her arms. Mo Lichen and Allentas sat down on either side of Li Shihhan.
Coincidentally, Mo Lichen sat next to Tian Shu, while Allentas sat next to Xinghe. They had been chatting about something and the three of them had huddled together. There were still quite a few empty seats on their side. On the other side of Xinghe was Li Yue.
The three of them stiffened involuntarily as Li Shihhan, Mo Lichen, and Allentas sat down next to them, but still subconsciously sat up straighter.
However, Li Shihhan and the others were quite familiar with Xinghe and Tianshu, since they all worked in the same unit (alliance) and had some interactions with each other.
Xinghe and the other two had just stood up to greet Li Shihan and the other two. After greeting them, they were pressed to sit down on the sofa, and that's where they are now.
Li Shihhan, Mo Lichen, and Allentas were clearly focused on Li Xingyu, but during their conversation, they would occasionally bring up Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Li Yue, subtly digging into their conversations...
Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Li Yue didn't know why, but even though they hadn't done anything, they still felt guilty in front of Li Shihan and the others.
'It seems... it's not like we didn't do anything at all.' Star River and Fox Moon.
Li Xingyu should have been unfamiliar with Li Shihhan, Mo Lichen, and Elentas, but the bond of blood and their gentle and loving attitude made her subconsciously feel close to the three of them.
"Great-Grandma, Lord Yu and the others came in the same hovercar, and they're at the foot of the mountain now." Xinghe's slightly amplified voice rang out as everyone chatted happily in the living room.
This is also a proper and polite way to visit someone. After all, when you go to someone's house as a guest, how can you arrive at their door and find it tightly closed?
Since Xinghe receives and handles any visiting cards at the Li family ancestral home, the existing butler system will still be used.
