The last to arrive was Su Yue's family. It was obvious that Su Yue and Qian Yingnan didn't look happy, while Su Ziqi remained nonchalant. Su Rongqi glanced at the three of them and asked calmly, "Did Ziqi not do well in the exam?"
Qian Yingnan glared at her son. "He only got 18 points in math!" It was so embarrassing. With a full score of 150 in math, how could he only get 18?
Su Rongqi was also a bit incredulous. This was the college entrance exam! And it had been a month, yet he had just learned about Su Ziqi's score. "So what are your plans?" With such a score, it would be a stretch for him to get into a university.
Su Yue was silent for a while before saying, "We've discussed it. We might as well send Ziqi directly to study in the Su Group."
"That's okay, but..." Su Rongqi glanced at Su Ziqi's yellow hair and the stud in his ear. "He might not look appropriate like this when he goes in."
"Of course. We'll have him change his appearance," Qian Yingnan said quickly. After all, this look was a bit inappropriate.
Su Rongqi sighed disappointedly. "Ziqi, you should really learn from Xiaorou. She studies so hard!"
Su Ziqi had been looking at Su Rou. She had grown taller and more beautiful, and her academic performance was still excellent... "Grandpa, Meimei's grades aren't good either," he said, meaning, why pick on just me?
Su Meimei was suddenly pointed at and immediately flew into a rage. "Su Ziqi, what do you mean? Did I do anything to you?"
"Meimei!" Liu Rulan warned her daughter. Although she thought Su Ziqi was a bit outspoken, dragging Meimei into it when he himself had poor grades, Meimei's impolite outburst would only make the old master and Su Yue's family more dissatisfied.
Su Meimei rolled her eyes at Su Ziqi and then continued to play with her phone with her head down.
"Can you compare with Meimei? You're a man!" Before the old master could say anything, Su Yue scolded his son. "You still have the nerve to mention Meimei!"
"Got it," Su Ziqi said impatiently.
Seeing the intense argument over there while she and Su Yuze were sitting there leisurely, Su Rou said, "Brother Ze, should we stop them?" It was supposed to be a family dinner, but it had turned into a quarrel.
"No need," Su Yuze said, habitually putting his arm around Su Rou's shoulder to stop her from craning her neck. "Grandpa will stop them."
Sure enough, Su Rongqi spoke up next. "Alright, alright. Stop arguing. We're about to have dinner. I invited you here for a family dinner."
"Yes."
Su Ziqi scratched his yellow hair and glanced at Su Rou again. He wondered what she was saying to Su Yuze. Her face was full of admiration!
"Brother Ze, you're so accurate."
"Hehe..." It was easy to guess. Only Su Rou would take it seriously. However, her admiring look was quite pleasing to him.
Su Ziqi had known for a long time that Su Yuze and Su Rou were very close. But after all this time, were they still so close? And... didn't they have any concept of the propriety between men and women?
...
After the family dinner, Su Yuze made an excuse to take Su Rou home. "Where do you want to go during the summer vacation?" he asked gently.
"You decide, brother," she said. She decided to leave such brain - racking things to Su Yuze.
"Okay."
During previous winter and summer vacations, he would always take Su Rou on trips. They wouldn't come back until they had played for ten days or half a month. However, Su Rou counted the days on her fingers and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, I just remembered. My period is coming soon. Can we go on the trip after it's over?" She didn't want to be tortured by her period during the trip.
"Sure."
He wondered if this little girl had noticed that she could discuss such a private female matter with him so casually. In her eyes, was he just her brother?
When they got home, Xiaokeai barked and pounced on them. It was extremely enthusiastic. In the past year, Xiaokeai had grown very fast, like a balloon being inflated. It was already as tall as Su Rou's lower leg.
After all, the Samoyed breed was a large dog.
But Su Rou still thought the smaller Xiaokeai was more fun. "Xiaokeai, won't you be laughed at by other dogs if you're still called Xiaokeai when you're so big?"
Su Yuze listened to Su Rou's rambling with amusement. "Dogs don't understand what 'cute' means."
"Really? That's good," Su Rou said, stroking Xiaokeai's head.
That night, Su Rou's period came. Although she was in pain, she was still very happy. Maybe because she had been thinking about it a lot, her period seemed to have come two or three days earlier this month. That was even better. The sooner it ended, the sooner they could go on the trip.
"Brother, my period is here..." Su Rou hugged her stomach. She was in pain, but she still announced it proudly.
"..." Su Yuze was a bit speechless. "Go back to bed and lie down. I'll make you some brown sugar water." During this period, he had told Su Rou not to eat cold things. It seemed that she didn't suffer as much pain during her period each month, which made him feel relieved.
"Okay."
Su Yuze made a cup of brown sugar water for Su Rou. "You can still smile when you have a stomachache?"
"Because... we can go on a trip," she said.
"..." He knew this little girl was thinking about such things! "Okay, okay."
Su Rou counted the days. After her period was completely over, she started packing. "Xiaorour, I haven't even booked the tickets yet," Su Yuze said. Seeing her eager look, he knew she had been cooped up at home for too long.
Su Rou's hand paused slightly as she was packing. She turned around and looked at him unhappily. "Go and book them quickly!"
"..."
"Go quickly! Go quickly!"
"I'm just kidding. I've already booked them," Su Yuze said helplessly, rubbing Su Rou's fluffy head.
Su Rou then continued to pack. She packed for both herself and Su Yuze. According to their usual practice, one suitcase was enough for the two of them. It was more convenient! After packing, Su Rou looked at Xiaokeai sitting on the ground. "Can Xiaokeai go with us?"
"No. We're going abroad. It's not very appropriate to take a dog on the plane."
"Then... let's leave it at Brother Yufeng's place!"
When Yufeng received the notice, he was very unhappy. "Hey, hey, hey, Miss Rou Rou, you left Xiaokeai at my place for a whole week during the winter vacation last time!"
"I know, but Xiaokeai doesn't bite."
"It doesn't bite... but it barks!" Xiaokeai was obviously used to living in the Su family's villa. When it slept in a new place, it barked like crazy at night, making it impossible for him to sleep!
"I see... Then I'll let Brother Ze talk to you."
"Wait... We can still discuss this." If he had to discuss it with Young Master Yu, he wouldn't have a good time.
"Thanks. I'll send Xiaokeai over later."
"..."
Who did he offend?!
