Chapter 52
Song Luosheng walked over and poked her face: "Why are you all dressed up so prettily today? Are you Princess Kuikui today?"
Song Luokui pushed his hand away: "Going to Lou Sasa\'s for afternoon tea in a bit."
Song Luosheng: "I\'ll drop you off later. Isn\'t Lou Longwang there?" Lou Longwang was Lou Sasa\'s brother. Now that his little sister had grown up, he was worried that some of the boys in their circle might have improper thoughts seeing her looking like this. His little cabbage had grown up, and as a parent, he was afraid the pigs might dig her up.
Song Luokui blinked her big eyes: "I don\'t know."
The makeup artist became stiff after Song Luosheng returned, her task complete. "Miss Song, I\'ll head back then."
Song Luokui: "Mmhmm, thank you for your help today. Auntie Gui, please see her out."
"Alright. This way, Teacher Liang."
"Okay, bye bye."
"Bye bye."
In the afternoon, Song Luosheng took his little princess to the Lou family\'s place. The Lous lived in a villa, and when Song Luokui arrived, Zhang Xiyue and the others were already there.
Seeing her, they all pounced over.
"Ahhhh, it\'s my Kuikui, super pretty!"
Weng Jiao went "mmm" and planted a kiss on Song Luokui\'s face, then hugged her waist. "Princess Kuikui is mine today."
Zhang Xiyue: "I\'m hugging Song Luokui\'s other side, she\'s mine."
On the side, Song Luosheng: "Ahem!"
Weng Jiao and the others were still chattering, so Song Luosheng cleared his throat louder: "Ahem!"
Finally they heard him and turned around. Upon seeing Song Luosheng, they immediately became well-behaved. "Hello Brother Luosheng."
"Hello Brother Luosheng."
They each grabbed their little dresses and curtsied elegantly, like proper ladies compared to just moments ago.
Song Luosheng: "...I\'ll head back first, I\'ll come pick you up later."
"Okay!"
After Song Luosheng left, the group reverted to their lively selves. "Come on, let\'s go take photos first."
Under the trees, the group happily took photos, drank afternoon tea, and ate little snacks. Meanwhile on the third floor of the nearby villa, a few boys were peeping through binoculars.
Lou Longwang sat to the side. "You guys have been looking for so long? Don\'t let my sister catch you, or I\'ll be in big trouble."
The other guys ignored him, fighting over the binoculars. "Let me see, let me see."
"Damn! The Song family sister is really...! Shit, I feel like getting a nosebleed just from her smile."
"Me too, me too."
"The Zhang family girl isn\'t bad either, those long legs..."
Lou Longwang stood up and snatched the binoculars. "What are you guys doing? Not afraid of Song Luosheng finding out?"
"But the Song family sister is really hot. What if I try pursuing the Song family sister? She\'s in college now, right? An adult."
Lou Longwang: "Only if you\'re not afraid to die. I heard someone harassed Sister Song before, and no one knows where that guy ended up."
"Nevermind then, haha."
Lou Longwang looked through the binoculars, and happened to see Song Luokui wink. He covered his nose - damn, she\'s so damn cute.
Did she just wink at me?
Lou Longwang: "What do you guys think if I pursue her?"
The others: ...Do you remember what you just said?
Under the trees, the group rested on the sofa chairs after taking photos, eating tea snacks.
Zhang Xiyue: "Sasa, you haven\'t shared any gossip yet."
Lou Sasa took a sip of tea and glanced at Weng Jiao. "Just about that Tea Sister from last time. She has a fan club now, all guys."
"Watch out if any of you have brothers."
"Oh right, do you know what she said about the one she pretended to spill a drink on at the Zhi family banquet? You know what she said? She said that person didn\'t mind and even smiled at her."
After she finished, everyone fell silent.
Zhang Xiyue burst out laughing, covering her mouth as she cackled. "Hahahahaha."
The others covered their mouths and laughed too.
Weng Jiao held her belly as she laughed. "That\'s not all, I heard more after."
"What what?"
Weng Jiao: "Tea Sister found out where that person\'s company is located, and has been going there daily to \'accidentally\' run into him."
"..."
"How shameless and ill-mannered is that? No family taught her manners."
Lou Sasa: "I know, I heard her mother was a mistress who climbed up. As a mistress, she probably learned all those tricks."
Weng Jiao went "huh" in disgust. "So gross! I can\'t believe I invited her before, so unlucky!"
When Song Luokui heard that Chen Xinyuan had been \'coincidentally\' running into someone at Pool Company, she raised an eyebrow. So that\'s why Chen hadn\'t bothered her recently - was it because of "unrequited love tears"?
If Pool knew, he would say it was a false accusation. He was busy to death these days, his schedule packed full. He couldn\'t even find time for a late-night snack, much less be bothered by some lunatic outside his company.
"Boss, there\'s a civil war erupting in N Country, our investment..."
Pool frowned. "Prioritize protecting our people first, evacuate them if necessary. Seal the mines for now."
"Got it."
"Sir, there\'s an urgent batch of documents that need your signature."
"Mmm." Pool took the pen and signed document after document for a while.
Not long after, someone else came in to report on a few projects. After some time, Pool finally stopped and picked up his phone to video call someone directly.
Song Luokui was listening to her friends gossip when her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw it was Pool. She was about to reject the call, but accidentally slid and answered instead. When Pool saw Song Luokui\'s current appearance, he froze, then asked: "What are you doing?"
Song Luokui panicked and hurriedly hung up.
Pool: ?
The other girls originally chatting turned towards the sound. Song Luokui turned her phone off directly, looking at the others: "What... what happened?"
Zhang Xiyue was the first to lean over. "I heard a man\'s voice!"
Weng Jiao: "Kuikui, who was that just now?"
Song Luokui laughed it off. "It was my brother, he was asking when I\'ll be back."
Lou Sasa: "The voice didn\'t really sound like him though."
Song Luokui: "It was him, probably just phone issues."
Zhang Xiyue: "Then why didn\'t you reply to him?"
Song Luokui: "I accidentally hung up when my hand slipped. I\'ve messaged him back."
The others reluctantly accepted that reason. Zhang Xiyue stared at her. "Kuikui, you didn\'t get a boyfriend, did you?"
Song Luokui choked. "Cough cough cough, no! Absolutely not!"
Zhang Xiyue: "Why are you so worked up then?"
Song Luokui: "Really, I don\'t have one. I\'m always playing with you guys, when would I have time for a boyfriend? If I did, I couldn\'t possibly hide it from you all."
The others thought about it and agreed.
Zhang Xiyue nodded too. "That\'s true, you\'re always either at home or at school. There are barely any guys in your class, and you don\'t participate in activities or attend social gatherings often. You really don\'t meet many guys."
Lou Sasa: "If I looked like Kuikui, I\'d date one handsome guy from high society after another."
Song Luokui: "...But you\'re quite pretty too, Sasa."
Lou Sasa cupped her face. "But it seems like no one\'s pursuing me either."
Zhou Yue: "That\'s probably because your brother won\'t allow it. Same for Kuikui."
Zhang Xiyue: "You both have brothers too? How come?"
Tu Shanyue: "I don\'t have one. So I\'ve dated quite a few already."
