Affectionate

Two days later.

"Sister Yu, it's time to get up." Tuantuan whispered in Yu Shuman's ear.Tuantuan always let Sister Yu sleep until she woke up naturally, because she was reluctant to wake her up, but today is really special. "It's already nine o'clock, and Mom and Dad are coming over for lunch."

Yu Shuman was not fully awake yet, she rubbed against the soft quilt, and after a while she said in a soft voice: "Do you need me to avoid it?" After all, it was a family gathering of the Ruan family, and she was an outsider. It doesn't seem quite right.Although she felt that she was Tuantuan's family member who raised her since she was a child.

Tuantuan was stunned for a moment.The impression given to her by her parents has always been serious and rigid. Although her parents don't discipline them very much and often immerse themselves in their own small world, they will always fulfill the promises they made.

She didn't remember at all that she was betrothed by her parents, but if her parents really promised...it would be a bit tricky.

Tuantuan pursed her lips, and said in a serious tone: "There's no need to avoid it, but don't mention the relationship between us. Sister Yu must not wear the previous clothes today. I prepared new ones for you..." The words came out , but felt that doing so seemed to be wronging sister Yu too much. She didn't want sister Yu to be wronged... even if sister Yu was facing her own parents.

"How about, Sister Yu go out for a walk?" Tuantuan bent his lips and smiled, suddenly felt that this flash of inspiration was a good idea, "Sister Yu, let's go for a walk, my parents usually leave after lunch It's gone." Sister Yu is not here, so she doesn't have to worry or take care of anything, sometimes what her parents say is a bit harsh because it is too direct.If there is a suitable opportunity, she can have a straightforward showdown with her parents, and after that... she can be with Sister Yu in a fair and honest manner.

Yu Shuman listened to Tuantuan's sweet voice, which was a bit harsh, she buried her head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "There was no relationship between us."

Tuantuan failed to notice the slight displeasure in Yu Shuman's tone, she was totally immersed in "how to showdown to her parents" and "happy life with Sister Yu after the showdown".The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Tuantuan rummaged through the closet for clothes suitable for Yu Shuman, and urged, "Sister Yu, get up quickly. Does Sister Yu want to go out for breakfast, or should I make something for you?"

"Sister Yu can go to the theatrical troupe and watch plays. Tuantuan somehow thinks that Sister Yu would like to watch plays.

"For lunch, Sister Yu can go to 'Western Point'. The fish over there are really good, and there are desserts from foreigners." Tuantuan licked the corners of his lips, "The desserts in that shop are really good, I've had it several times."

Tuantuan put the selected clothes beside the bed, and seeing Yu Shuman still lying on the quilt unwilling to move, she coaxed him and finally pulled him up.Tuantuan turned her back and asked Yu Shuman to put on her own clothes, "I'll give you more money, sister Yu can buy whatever she likes."

"Are sister Yu afraid of going out alone? Otherwise, I will ask my brother to send a few people to follow you..."

"No need." Yu Shuman quickly got dressed, and went to the side to wash up.

"... Well, since Sister Yu doesn't like others to follow, that's fine." Tuantuan is not happy to have someone by Yu Shuman's side anyway, "Next time I will accompany you out." whats the matter.Tuantuan took money from a drawer on one side, put it in a small cloth bag, and put it in Yu Shuman's hand, "It's breakfast, do you want to go out to eat?"

Yu Shuman looked down at the white cloth bag in her hand, "Go out and eat." She took one side of the cloak and tied it around her neck, without looking at Tuantuan, "I'm leaving."

Tuantuan leaned over and kissed Yu Shuman's side face, and said affectionately: "Be careful on the road, it's best not to talk to strangers." Men and women can't do it, she will be jealous.

Yu Shuman snorted softly, as if she agreed, at least in Tuantuan's ears.

Tuantuan smiled lightly and walked out of the gate with Yu Shuman in his arms.It wasn't until she couldn't see Yu Shuman's back that she lost her smile and walked back to Ruan Mansion.

******

Yu Shuman bought boiled eggs and white porridge on the side of the road, and ate some casually.Just when I wanted to find someone to find out where the theater troupe was, I heard a somewhat familiar woman's voice.

"Why, Miss Yu came out by herself today? The Ruan family...have tired of you and kicked you out?" Her voice was high-pitched and ironic.

When Yu Shuman turned her head, she saw her walking over in a swaying manner.Yu Shuman frowned, "Do you... know where the troupe is?"

Miao Lanyi was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other coldly, "What are you, don't I have a name! Didn't the forgetful Miss Yu remember my name?!" She and Yu Shuman worked together in the dance hall For several years, she has been suppressed by Yu Shuman. Below, sitting in the position of "Second Sister", she has always been unwilling, so her attitude towards Yu Shuman has not been very good.

Yu Shuman doesn't take the initiative to communicate, so she never took the initiative to talk to Miao Lanyi, and naturally she never called her by name.Miao Lanyi always thought that Yu Shuman was totally disdainful to communicate with her, and concluded that she was aloof and cold, and hated her even more, but because of her beauty and talent, she liked to ridicule her from time to time.She has engraved these three words Yu Shuman in her heart, and she will never forget them in this life.

A few days ago, I heard the owner of the singing and dancing hall say that Yu Shuman's memory is not good, and she often forgets to get her salary.Miao Lanyi realized belatedly, did Yu Shuman never remember her name, that's why she asked this question.

Yu Shuman glanced at Miao Lanyi, "Have you forgotten your name?"

Miao Lanyi bit her lower lip tightly, fearing that if she lost control, she would start scolding people in the street.She exhaled and exhaled for a while, then kept smiling, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you really remember my name, Yu Shuman!"

Yu Shuman nodded honestly. Although she didn't know why Miao Lanyi was so angry, she still replied, "Sorry."

Miao Lanyi was both angry and startled.He was so angry that the woman he had always regarded as "the only opponent" didn't take herself seriously at all, and he was so surprised that this proud woman would apologize.She opened her mouth, and her tone was calm, "My name is Miao Lanyi."

"Orchids are noble and elegant, and the word "Yi" is soft and beautiful." Yu Shuman looked at Miao Lanyi, and said in a clear voice, "It's very suitable for you."

Miao Lanyi's first reaction was that Yu Shuman was mocking herself, but looking at her clear eyes and serious tone, it didn't seem to be the case.She raised her eyebrows uncomfortably, and felt that her cheeks were steaming, but she still forced herself to say in a cold voice: "Noble and elegant? Is this irony?" She admitted that she was gentle and beautiful.

"No, I'm just simply complimenting you." Yu Shuman said seriously, seeing Miao Lanyi's lips curled up, but suppressing her expression, she said, "Now can you tell me where the troupe is?" Is it? Miao... Lan Yi."

Miao Lanyi was dull for a moment, then she came back to her senses, "Okay... well, it seems that you are deliberately trying to please me." She hooked her fingers at Yu Shuman, and raised her smooth and clean chin, "Go Come on, Miss Yu, I'll take you there myself."

Seeing Yu Shuman frowned in doubt, Miao Lanyi immediately pulled Yu Shuman's wrist and walked to the troupe with her hot-tempered personality, "Stop procrastinating, I'll see how you listen to the opera without the box."

******

Thanks to Miao Lanyi's blessing, the two hurried and finally sat in the last box.

Miao Lanyi skillfully ordered some refreshments, and after driving the waiters out, she locked the door, took out a handkerchief from her chest and wiped the sweat from her body, complaining that Yu Shuman was walking too slowly while wiping.

"Why don't you stop a rickshaw?" Yu Shuman took the teapot and poured two cups of warm tea.

Miao Lanyi's movements stopped, and her voice was annoyed and a little bit ashamed, "Isn't it your fault!" She would not want to admit that after she held Yu Shuman's wrist, her mind was a little empty.When she came back to her senses, the two of them had already walked to the door of the theatrical troupe in a daze.

For the first time, she sat on a chair regardless of her image, took off her shoes at will, and muttered: "My heels are all worn out...you have to be responsible!"

Yu Shuman pushed the tea to Miao Lanyi's hand, and while listening to the drama downstairs, she asked, "How are you responsible?"

Miao Lanyi didn't expect that Yu Shuman would really answer, she was speechless for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I have to find a doctor to help me, I can earn several silver dollars in one night if I perform well!"

Yu Shuman didn't quite know how much a few silver dollars represented, but seeing Miao Lanyi's proud expression, she also knew that it should be quite a lot.She tilted her head, "Why don't I help you take a look." After speaking, she got up and knelt down in front of Miao Lanyi, holding her ankle with one hand, and carefully looked at her wound.

"It's just a little scratched skin, no blood, so don't worry." Yu Shuman got up, took the teapot and poured the tea into her hands, and said while cleaning, "You go back to stop a rickshaw later, the shoes don't seem to fit. , so it is not suitable for walking for too long, it is best to change a pair next time you go shopping.”

Miao Lanyi looked at Yu Shuman dully, and she didn't react until the waiter knocked on the door.Her face flushed instantly, she put on her shoes in a panic, as if being kicked out, she rushed to the door and let the waiter in.

When the waiter retreated, Miao Lanyi still stood by the door in a daze, not daring to approach Yu Shuman.

While eating tea, Yu Shuman gradually felt a little bit of fun while listening to the opera.After all, opera troupes are more vivid than previous scripts.She was sitting by the window, her eyes wandering, listening to an interesting opera.After a while, she seemed to see a familiar person, and her eyes suddenly stopped.

"Miao Lanyi, come and see, who is that man?" Yu Shuman shouted, but did not hear anything.When she turned her head, she saw Miao Lanyi standing blankly by the door, her eyes fixed on her body.

"..." Yu Shuman was silent for a moment, "You have something to leave first?" Otherwise, why did she stand by the door with a strange expression on her face.

Miao Lanyi: My old lady was actually teased by her deadly rival? !
