Chapter 119: Bonus Chapter
Lu Xun sighed inwardly without batting an eyelid. Just as he turned around and handed Xueyan over to Second Sister and the others to hold first, he saw everyone behind him staring at him with a bizarre gaze.
How to put it, being able to see Eldest Brother slap his own face and break his word once was absolutely the most beloved moment for the whole family!
There was no need to mention Lu Jing, who already wore an expression of someone enjoying the drama. Even Lu Li couldn’t help but lower his head and cough, silently shifting away his drama-watching gaze that happened to be caught by Eldest Brother.
Who knows who said before that co-sleeping wasn’t allowed, but now the one most addicted to co-sleeping seems to be Eldest Brother as well.
How many times has this been for Eldest Brother?
And Xueyan, held in his brother’s arms, looked at his brother, then at the parents on the sofa, and couldn’t help but reach out his little hands to gently hug his brother’s neck:
“I want to change clothes for Brother to see too.”
“Because when I’m not a big tiger, Brother can kiss me.”
Xueyan softly added a sentence with his eyes curved into crescents.
Lu Xun, easily coaxed to the deepest part of his heart by this sentence, directly stood there hugging Xueyan for a dozen seconds without moving a muscle.
Finally, under everyone’s gaze, he forcefully pretended as if nothing had happened and put Xueyan down:
“I’m going to call Dad, you guys wait for me for a bit.”
After saying that, he turned and went to the corridor outside the door.
Although the moment the door closed, the sound of uproarious laughter led by Simmons could be heard. Xueyan looked up at his parents suddenly laughing, and couldn’t help but laugh along too.
Hearing the laughter behind him, Lu Xun ultimately rubbed his forehead with a dumbfounded smile in a place where no one was around, and then dialed his dad’s number.
It was just that making this call also required quite some skill.
Lu Ting, who was in the company and had just finished a small meeting with several executives, had just freed up when he unexpectedly saw Eldest Son calling. He thought something had happened.
【…Mm, something suddenly came up on hand, I need to make a trip to the branch company side. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Dad, can you go over for the upcoming meeting? I will have Li Rui and the other secretaries send the meeting materials over.】
Fortunately, the voice on the other end sounded as calm as ever, the matter shouldn’t be serious.
“Oh, no rush, no rush. Then Eldest Son, go attend to your business first, the specifics can wait until you return to talk about.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ting always felt a bit strange.
Hadn’t I also said the same excuse to Eldest Son once before?
When did that happen again…
Lu Ting, who rushed non-stop to attend the meeting on behalf of his son, suddenly started pondering in his mind.
******
And Lu Xun, who had just finished making several calls in a row and sequentially delegating matters, had just returned indoors when he saw a fluffy white figure rapidly sprint out from behind the curtain.
Several staff members followed behind:
“Don’t run, little kitty! The last bow tie hasn’t been put on yet!”
However, Charlie, suffering from Xueyan separation anxiety, evidently had his patience pushed to the limit. He directly followed Xueyan’s scent and ran all the way to front of Xueyan. With a “Meow~”, he raised his head and squatted on the carpet.
As Charlie raised his head, the matching little tiger headgear on Charlie’s head also slightly tilted back. The majestic “King” (王) character on his forehead truly gave off a bit of the domineering aura of the King of Kitties!
“Wow, Charlie, you look so cute today!”
Xueyan stared at Charlie in front of him, widening his eyes in pleasant surprise and leaning close to Charlie.
He felt that Charlie wearing the little tiger headgear was simply extremely cute! The kind that makes people want to hug and kiss him.
“Meow?”
Charlie actually couldn’t understand human language, but it didn’t prevent Charlie from noticing that Xueyan was exceptionally happy staring at him, and even the tone of his voice was light and fast. He instantly became happy along with him.
A few seconds later, Xueyan took the initiative to receive Charlie’s little bow tie from the staff member who chased after him. With lowered eyes, he earnestly and meticulously put it on Charlie.
Charlie, coaxed until his tail wagged continuously, didn’t dodge a bit, allowing Xueyan to put the accessory on him. He even took advantage of when Xueyan lowered his head to secretly lick the fur on Xueyan’s tiger ears, attempting to comb out the unkempt fur for Xueyan.
“Brother, Charlie is actually helping me lick the ear fur!”
Xueyan, perceiving the peculiar sensation, instantly raised his head, grabbed his own tiger ears, and looked at the parents behind him in disbelief.
He wanted to ask if his brothers, sister, and teachers had seen that magical scene just now.
As a result, he saw several phones already pointing at him and Charlie, filming!
“Saw it, not only saw it, but Sister filmed it all down.”
Lu Jing couldn’t help but smile and say to Xueyan.
“Really? I want to see Charlie licking my fur…”
Xueyan instantly took his short little steps to run to his sister’s side and crane his neck to look at the phone. The little tiger tail behind him also dragged on the carpet, swaying back and forth.
This successfully made Charlie stare unblinkingly as he ran past, even attempting to press Xueyan’s tail with his paw. This tail had completely turned into a natural cat teaser.
Frightening Xueyan, who almost couldn’t stand steadily, to slightly widen his eyes. He turned his head, grabbed his tail, and looked at Charlie:
“Charlie, you are not being good. Little cats cannot pull people’s tails.”
Charlie, rarely reprimanded by Xueyan, instantly stopped his paw, letting out a slightly guilty “Meow—”.
Lu Jing, who was supporting Xueyan, was already frantically conflicted between the choices of continuing to hold her phone to film Xueyan, or directly picking Xueyan up to kiss him.
How could he be cute to this extent!?
And Teacher Ding Jiaying had even temporarily forgotten everything about the competition and so on. Her mind was entirely filled with how fortunate it was that Princeton’s leadership specifically recommended Xueyan to compete.
Otherwise, once missed, wouldn’t she be unable to see such a cute little Xueyan for the rest of her life? Once he grows up, he definitely would be too embarrassed to wear this kind of clothes!
Please kindergarten authorities, absolutely recommend Xueyan to represent the kindergarten and participate in various activities in the future!
However, right at this moment, a domineering flash of a camera strobe lit up, making everyone present holding their phones look over suspiciously. Simmons, who was laughing wildly a few minutes ago, had who knows when already sprinted wildly to the photography studio upstairs, forcibly snatched an ultra-large professional video camera from the photographer’s hands, and aimed it at Xueyan, filming like a fanatical fansite master.
Heavens, heavens, heavens, this scene just now was simply the pinnacle of art—!
The perfect interaction between a cub wearing my custom-made clothing and a small animal simply embodied the supreme aesthetic concept that art can communicate with all things in the world!
“…Who permitted you to film?”
Although just as Simmons was preparing to continue filming wildly, he found his lens go black. The next second, his filming tool was directly confiscated by someone.
Lu Xun was standing coldly in front of him, staring down at Simmons with a condescending gaze.
Who knows where this guy planned to post these photos.
“No way—how can you be like this!? Can’t I even film the clothes I made!?”
In this instant, Simmons was so angry that his filter towards Lu Li’s eldest brother almost shattered.
No one can stop my footsteps in pursuit of beauty!
No one can! Even if you are 1.9 meters tall! Even if you have abs!! Even if your iceberg face is devastatingly handsome and you are rich to the point of inciting the wrath of both gods and men…
Then it seems… it’s not impossible to make an exception once?
“Next outfit. After trying them on, if these sets are all still not bad, you can be allowed to take a few photos, but the purpose must be audited.”
Lu Xun held the hand of Xueyan, who was worriedly turning his head to look at Uncle Simmons, and sat back down on the sofa. Simmons, gripping his fists tightly, was thus filled with explosive motivation.
Despicable, how could my great aesthetics of art be merely ‘not bad’!? I will absolutely make you feel it’s flawlessly perfect and irreplaceable—!
Therefore, Xueyan, wearing the fluffy little tiger one-piece suit, was obediently led to change clothes again, and Charlie was also carried back into the fitting room along with him.
The other nine sets of clothes Simmons had designed with almost no sleep during this period were indeed each more extraordinarily ingenious than the last.
The everyday autumn coat set worn on Xueyan, the shape was like a little umbrella silhouette, accentuating the two little legs stepping on the carpet under the coat hem to look symmetrical and cute.
And the beige-pink little cashmere scarf around his neck was also skin-friendly and warm, making the cub’s cheeks look even sweeter!
Simmons also didn’t miss Xueyan’s need for a hat. A perfect felt bowler hat was placed just right on his head, pressing the slightly curly milky-white hair against his ears.
“Meow~”
The next second, Charlie squatted beside Xueyan, swishing his big tail, a matching scarf also tied around his fluffy neck. The specially made felt hat on his head happened to have two holes to let the cat ears out, twitching back and forth.
“How about it? A set that combines aesthetics and cub comfort, hey…”
Just as Simmons was about to introduce a few sentences, he was pushed aside by someone.
Lu Jing was holding her phone, squatting in front of Xueyan with a serious and devout face, taking photos for Xueyan and Charlie.
Simmons looked at the shocked appearance of the entire venue with a mix of anger and smugness, and very quickly took out the next outfit.
From the preppy style pale yellow knit sweater set, to the winter light chestnut-colored little padded jacket, it was simply wearing one set and astonishing everyone with one set, completely a visual sense of playing dress-up with dolls.
Xueyan was also incredibly cooperative, feeling that changing a set of clothes was like changing an identity in a cartoon!
Within one day, I became so many, so many different people.
Especially the final translucent raincoat, it was even more dreamy and stunning.
Simmons used a certain special material to create thousands of sparkling crystal raindrops, and manually sewed and hung thousands of drop-shaped crystals that could slightly sway on the raincoat in a well-proportioned manner.
Even the matching little umbrella, once opened, was also hung full of starlight-like raindrop crystals. As the umbrella gently spun, it presented an illusion of raindrops sparkling and flowing. Under the light, it refracted extremely beautiful iridescent colors, completely giving the visual sense of a piece of art.
As soon as Xueyan, wearing the little raincoat, took this little umbrella, he was already reluctant to let go. While instinctively spinning it gently, he looked up at the countless sparkling little raindrops on the umbrella surface, trying to reach out and catch these raindrops.
“Meow~”
Charlie also received a matching miniaturized version of the raincoat. The hat similarly had two specialized ear holes. While twitching his ears, he mimicked Xueyan’s actions, also sticking out his little paw to catch those swaying little crystal raindrops on the raincoat.
It was simply like the little crystal figurine in the toy window holding his crystal cat, quietly moving around to play in the middle of the night, and this scene was inadvertently witnessed by humans!
“Brother, can I wear this raincoat back to kindergarten?”
After playing for a long while, Xueyan couldn’t help but ask softly.
The many parents who were still stunned finally recovered their senses, realizing Xueyan clearly also liked this little raincoat to the point of being reluctant to take it off.
But wearing a raincoat to kindergarten on a sunny day, wouldn’t it be a bit too bizarre?
“It’s raining! It just happens to be raining hahahaha, hurry up and let our baby wear this outfit to kindergarten—!!”
Simmons was so excited seeing that a misty light rain was actually falling outside the window, he wished he could raise his arms and shout:
God is among men!
This damn kindergarten doesn’t let cubs wear everyday clothes normally, but wearing a little raincoat over the kindergarten uniform can’t possibly be stopped, right!?
Therefore, Simmons directly started shouting slogans:
“Wear it over! [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Wear it over!”
“Meow~ Meow~”
Even Charlie found it fun and meowed along.
Although Xueyan didn’t speak, he kept a pair of big, expressive eyes open, staring eagerly at the parents and teacher.
“…”
Who could refuse this!
It’s just, would it be too eye-catching?
“Let him wear it, it happens to be raining, wearing a raincoat is also very normal right, Brother?”
Lu Li couldn’t help but look at Eldest Brother and persuade him.
“Just wear the raincoat then! [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Weren’t these clothes bought to be worn?!”
Lu Jing didn’t wait for Eldest Brother to have the final say, directly agreeing to the cub’s request, and attempted to send Eldest Brother to quickly swipe his card.
“Then Charlie and I will wear raincoats back to kindergarten together—!”
Xueyan hugged Charlie and spun around happily in circles. It was just a pity Xueyan wasn’t tall enough. Every time, he could only pick up Charlie’s upper half. Therefore, Charlie, who had turned into a long strip, also anxiously and hurriedly paddled his two hind legs on the carpet, trying quite hard to cooperate with Xueyan’s action of hugging him and spinning in circles.
The little raincoats on the one cub and one cat swayed and sparkled even more brilliantly with the spinning motion, looking as beautiful and dreamy under the lights as a scene from a fairy tale.
Seeing this, Lu Xun, who had yet to voice a final decision, exchanged a glance with Teacher Ding nearby. Teacher Ding hurriedly raised her hand to express her attitude as a teacher:
“Xueyan’s Eldest Brother, I also agree to Xueyan wearing this raincoat to kindergarten!”
Such pretty clothes should be worn out for everyone to see!
As for whether it would cause a traffic jam at the kindergarten, that was another matter.
But Xueyan was so pretty, even if he wore a sack, he would actually still be stared at regardless.
So, since he was going to be stared at anyway, what was wrong with wearing it for a bit!?
Teacher Ding was completely unaware that she herself was gradually becoming a veteran little snowball (fan), actively finding reasons for Xueyan to realize all his dreams.
