The little boy's expression changed. After all, he was still a child. He felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed after being exposed. Ruan Danchen's heart softened a little. Just as she was about to tell him to wait in line, she heard the little boy say, "What's wrong with that? Why are you so calculative? Isn't it just one more person? How long can it take you up? At most, I'll let you queue in front of me! "
The little boy realized that the people standing behind Qi Youxuan were all adults. He figured that they would be too embarrassed to argue with a child like him.
"How can you say that? It's not about how long you have to wait in line. It's your behavior of cutting the queue! Didn't your family teach you? Didn't your teacher teach you? "The little fellow was also exasperated.
Originally, the little guy had a good temper and was broad-minded. As long as this little boy realized his mistake and apologized to him, he would let this little boy line up here.
But who knew that after this little boy's lie was exposed, not only did he not apologize, but he even argued irrationally. This was really infuriating.
Ruan Danchen rubbed the little fellow's head. Originally, the little fellow was still angry, but after being touched by Ruan Danchen's soft palm, his anger immediately dissipated.
Ruan Danchen squatted down and took the little fellow into her arms. She whispered, "Alright, you've exposed the child's lies in front of so many people and taught him a lesson. You've made him lose face. I think he probably wanted to apologize to you, but he was too embarrassed to do so. Don't be angry. Let's each take a step back, okay? Look at this little friend. He hasn't seen his family for such a long time. He must be quite lonely. "
Qi Youxuan pouted slightly. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said to the little boy in front of her, "You line up here, I won't scold you. But you have to apologize to me for cutting the queue. Also, you have to thank me for letting you line up here. "
The little boy was quite willful. He stubbornly refused to apologize to Qi Youxuan, but he also refused to leave.
Behind them, there were already people whispering, "Whose family is this kid from? They don't care about him. He came to cut the queue and didn't even apologize. Does he have any manners?"
"He's just a kid. We can't lower ourselves to his level."
"It's just that looking at that child's attitude, his upbringing isn't very good."
"Nannan, why are you here? Grandma has been looking for you for a long time." A voice filled with both surprise and worry rang out.
Ruan Danchen took a look and saw that it was the old lady who had looked at the menu for a long time but still couldn't make up her mind. The people behind her had to wait for a long time.
The old lady was still holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hand. She guessed that she had gone to buy milk tea for the little boy earlier, but the little boy did not wait at the same spot and instead ran here to cut the queue. As a result, when the old lady came back, she could not find her grandson.
When the old lady saw that her grandson was fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her face showed an expression of relief, but she was still a little scared. She almost lost her precious grandson. Just now, she almost went to the radio station to find him.
When this little boy named Nannan saw his grandmother, it was as if he had found someone to rely on. He suddenly burst into tears and shouted, "Grandmother!" Then he threw himself into the old lady's arms.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Who bullied you and made you feel wronged? "The old lady said as she held her grandson in her arms and looked at Qi Youxuan.
Because he was standing with Nannan just now. It was easy for children to quarrel with each other.
"That's him!" Nannan pointed at Qi Youxuan unceremoniously.
Ruan Danchen frowned and shielded the little boy behind her.
Before she could say anything, she heard Nannan say, "They bullied me. They thought that I didn't have an adult with me, so they bullied a child like me. Just now, his mother said it herself. I've been queuing here for a long time, but no adult came to find me! "
The old lady was unhappy when she heard that. She said to Ruan Danchen unhappily, "You helped me at the McDonald's just now. I thought you were a very reasonable girl. But who knew that you would be so unreasonable. How did you educate your son? It's too much to say such things to a child! How can you educate a child like this? You didn't dare to stop a quarrel between children, but you even mocked my grandson. How could you say such things to such a young child! Based on your behavior, your child is also uneducated! "
Ruan Danchen couldn't stand people saying bad things about Qi Youxuan. She tolerated it when it came to her. But she couldn't say anything about Qi Youxuan. Besides, the little boy didn't do anything wrong. Why did the old lady say such things?
She took a deep breath and simply pulled Qi Youxuan in front of her. She protected him in her arms and turned his back to the old lady, so that he wouldn't see the old lady's fierce face.
Ruan Danchen stroked the little boy's head and told him not to worry. She said to the old lady, "Such a young child can confuse black and white. I'd like to ask, where is your family education? I didn't say anything just now because I respect you as an old lady. I also thought that you could be a little reasonable. It seems that I overestimated your age. "
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The old lady said angrily and pointed at Ruan Danchen. Her fingers trembled with anger. "How can you speak like that? Always respecting the old and loving the young! "
Compared to Ruan Danchen's calmness, the old lady was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. It was really a bit ferocious. The people around them were worried for her. They didn't know if she would directly faint if she continued to be so agitated.
There were so many people trying to blackmail her now. If she really fainted, they would not dare to help her.
Besides, looking at how unreasonable this old lady was, what would happen if she made a false accusation out of her good intentions?
The people in the line next to them really didn't sympathize with the old lady.
Ruan Danchen ignored her anger and still said calmly, "Just now, this child ran to cut the line for no reason and forced himself to stand in front of my son. My son told him that he couldn't cut the line and that he should go to the back in order. He said that he just went to the toilet. It turned out that he was in front of my son. Now that he came back from the toilet, he just went back to his original position. "
Ruan Danchen looked at the milk tea in the old lady's hand and said, "I think if this child wanted to go to the toilet, you wouldn't go to buy milk tea instead of following him, right? We have been waiting here for half an hour. My son asked this child when he went to the toilet. He rolled his eyes and said that it was more than 20 minutes ago. He was smart to drag the time a little longer, but he didn't expect that we would have to wait here for even longer. "
The old lady's face was already very ugly, but Ruan Danchen still said calmly, "His lie was exposed. Not only did he not apologize, but he also said very stubbornly that even if he cut the line, it was just waiting for him alone. In my son's view, it wasn't a matter of how long he had to wait, but a matter of character, a matter of right and wrong. Since he was young, his family and school taught him all kinds of things. He even knew that cutting the line was very impolite and uncultured. He never did it, and he wouldn't let others do it. I saw that your grandson was a child playing here without an adult. I guessed that the adult had left for a while, so I told my son that it was better to let him queue here. "
"It's not a big matter, but in the eyes of children, it's so simple. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Although it's not a big matter, my son was wronged, and my son tolerated it. Your grandson likes to play this game, and so does my son. Children have the same desire. For the sake of your grandson's rude behavior, my son tolerated it and only needed your grandson to apologize to him and thank him. After all, it was my son who asked him to line up here. Why did it become the two of us bullying him? "
"You … you're a young man with a good mouth. My grandson definitely can't outtalk you. How can you bully a child like this?! "The old lady's old face changed.
The people in the queue couldn't stand it anymore and started to criticize.
"How can you be like this, old lady? You don't know right from wrong, and you just listen to your grandson's casual words and criticize others. You even said that his son has no manners. What did he say? He didn't say anything. "
"That's right. We all saw it. It's your grandson who cut the queue and lied impolitely. Others gave way to him, but he was so arrogant. Now that you're here, he's twisting the truth and lying. Where did this little kid learn all this from?"
A child was born as a blank piece of paper. If there was anything bad, it was because of the adults. That person was even angrier that the adults taught the good child bad.
"Old lady, you're unreasonable. Are you taking advantage of your seniority?"
"The child didn't lie. What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong. On the contrary, your grandson lied one after another. You said that he has no manners. I want to ask why your family has such good manners. Is this what they teach you? "
"The child was kind enough to let your grandson go, but he was wronged by you. You even said that he has no manners. What kind of person are you?"
"That's right. How wronged he is!"
"I think you can't set a good example for your grandson with such an attitude. No wonder your grandson is like this at such a young age."
"You'd better change your temper quickly. If you teach the child bad, it'll be too late in the future."
The crowd criticized one after another. They couldn't help it. They all saw what happened just now. Ruan Danchen and Qi Youxuan didn't hear what they said, but the people standing beside them heard it.
With so many witnesses and the truth in front of them, the old lady couldn't refute them even if she had a hundred mouths.
The old lady trembled with anger, and her face turned green.
What kind of people were they?
They said that their family had no manners. Did these mortals know what their family's status was?!
"You're talking about us. Our family isn't something you can reach!" The old lady said angrily. "Hmph, I won't lower myself to your level today! Society nowadays is really bad. All you know is to bully the old and the young. What kind of manners are you! "
With that, she left with her grandson. As they walked, they heard the old lady say, "Nannan, don't be angry. Don't lower yourself to their level. They're just a bunch of uncultured people who bully us."
The crowd: "…"
They had only seen such an unreasonable old lady in the news. They didn't expect to see it with their own eyes.
At this moment, everyone rolled their eyes in their hearts. They couldn't help but add, "What kind of people are they?!"
After being messed around by the old lady and her grandson, the little fellow was in a bad mood. He was no longer as excited as he was when he was queuing up. He lay in Ruan Danchen's arms, looking listless.
Ruan Danchen's heart ached as she looked at him. She quickly comforted him. "Youxuan, it's fine. It's not your fault. Don't take it to heart. You did well just now."
The little fellow knew that, but his spirits were dampened. His mood was still very low.
The people lining up on both sides saw that the little fellow was so cute and good-looking. They liked him to begin with. When they were queuing up just now, they kept winking at him to tease him.
Now that they saw the little fellow's aggrieved look, their hearts ached. They thought to themselves, "What a good child. He's sensible, polite, and humble. He's so obedient to his mother. He's such a good child. He can listen to reason and advice, and he won't make things difficult for his mother. In the end, he was bullied by that uncultured grandfather-grandson pair.
Hence, everyone comforted him one after another. They hated the fact that they didn't have any candy or snacks in their hands to coax him.
There was a young lady who came to play with her boyfriend. She had just gotten a Spiderman doll from the claw machine. It wasn't big, but it took her a lot of effort to get it out.
She handed it to the little fellow. "Little friend, don't be sad. This is for you."
Qi Youxuan shook his head. "It took you a lot of effort to get it out, right? I can't accept it. Mommy bought me a lot of Minions today. "
When the young lady heard that, her heart was enchanted. What a good and understanding child!
Standing at the front of the line was a teenager. He looked like a high school student. It was his turn next.
He greeted his friend behind him and asked him to save a spot for him. He walked over and squatted down to look at Qi Youxuan. "Little brother, it's my turn next. I'll let you play first, okay?"
The little fellow hesitated for a moment and shook his head. He had just despised the little boy for cutting the line.
"It's okay. You didn't cut the line. I was the one who let you play. I think the others won't have any objections," the teenager said with a smile.
The young man was very handsome. He was a typical sunny boy, elegant and refined. He was a different type from Qi Chengzhi and Qi Chenglin. He was closer to the Qi Chengji who was still in high school at Jixia Academy.
However, ever since Qi Chengji joined the army, his elegance had long disappeared. Now, he was full of manliness.
When the others heard that, they expressed that it was okay and let Qi Youxuan play first.
The little guy blushed and looked longingly at the car that was swaying from side to side in high spirits.
"Why don't I play with you, big brother?" The little fellow said, "I'm too short anyway. I can't touch the steering wheel or the accelerator. I'll sit in the front passenger seat. You drive, and I'll feel it by the side. Anyway, I'm lining up here to let Mommy drive. I'll sit next to her. But I think her driving skills are definitely not as good as yours. "
Ruan Danchen was speechless.
This child really didn't give his mother any face when it came to insulting her!
Qi Youxuan just felt that he had never seen his mother drive. It was his father and Uncle Yang who went in and out. Therefore, even if he had a driver's license, his driving skills were definitely not up to standard. Especially with so many sharp turns in the game, it was even worse. It wouldn't be worth it if the car stopped after a few turns.
The people beside them couldn't help but laugh when they heard that, but they quickly held it back.
"…" Ruan Danchen looked at the unconscious Qi Youxuan speechlessly. Fortunately, he had regained his spirit, so it was worth it for her to embarrass herself.
When the young man heard that, he immediately agreed. Qi Youxuan was also very happy. He could get on the car earlier and not delay the other players. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, the little fellow followed the young man into the car. The young man's driving skills were really good. After driving for a long time, the little fellow was satisfied.
Then, his little face blushed. He was especially excited, and his previous listlessness was swept away.
Ruan Danchen thanked the young man and brought the little fellow to play other games.
Even so, because of the long line, they couldn't finish all the games.
Ruan Danchen looked at the time. It was almost five o 'clock. When the little fellow came down from a game, she would bring him away.
The little fellow looked like he wanted to continue. Ruan Danchen scratched the tip of his nose. "Don't be so greedy. Come again next time. There are so many games. Even if you don't queue up, you won't be able to finish them in a day."
"Do you want to come again next time? Can you ask Daddy to come together next time? I want Daddy to drive that car. I'll sit beside him. Daddy's driving skills are very good, "Qi Youxuan said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll tell him," Ruan Danchen said with a smile.
As they were talking, Qi Chenglin's call also came.
"Where are you?" Qi Chenglin asked when he heard that it was very noisy on the other end of the phone.
The indoor amusement park was filled with the mechanical sound of the rides, the sound of music, and the laughter of people. It was very noisy. Therefore, when Ruan Danchen brought the little fellow out, it immediately became quiet.
"At the mall. Today, I brought Youxuan out to buy clothes. Coincidentally, the mall opened a very fun amusement park, so I brought him here to play. Are you still in Jing City? "Ruan Danchen asked.
"I'm already back. I've entered the city and am heading home. Which mall are you at? I'll go and find you." Ruan Danchen heard Qi Chenglin's voice. It was hoarse and warm, and there was even a hint of a smile in it.
Ruan Danchen told him the name and heard Qi Chenglin say with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm quite close to there now. Wait for me for half an hour."
"Okay." Ruan Danchen hung up and said to the little fellow, "Daddy is back from Jing City and is looking for us. He'll be here in about half an hour. Are you tired? Let's find a place to sit. "
"There's still half an hour left. Can I continue to play?" Qi Youxuan wanted to go back when he heard that.
"No." Ruan Danchen didn't comply with him anymore. "You've already played for a day. You can't play anymore. Let's play another day. The amusement park is too noisy. It's not good for your eyes and ears when you play. It's already too much to let you play here for a day. "
Seeing that Ruan Danchen was so determined, the little fellow knew that it was useless even if he acted coquettishly. He could only pout disappointedly and mumble, "Okay."
Because they still had to wait for Qi Chenglin for half an hour, there were many snack and dessert shops in the mall. Ruan Danchen took the little fellow to a dessert shop nearby and ordered a poplar branch sweet dew and a mango halberd.
The amount of dessert was not big. She was also afraid that the little fellow would be hungry. It was a good time to eat it to fill his stomach. When Qi Chenglin arrived later, they would eat together.
The mango halberd was a little cold. It was winter now. Although it was warm, Ruan Danchen still allowed him to eat only one.
Although the little fellow was limited in terms of delicious food, he was very happy under Ruan Danchen's control.
This was the feeling of having a mother controlling him!
Now the little fellow only hated that he had met Ruan Danchen too late. The first six years of his life had been wasted.
The little fellow was drinking the poplar branch sweet dew when he suddenly pointed diagonally behind Ruan Danchen. "Mommy, isn't that the brother who plays games with me?"
Ruan Danchen turned around and saw that the teenager who drove with Qi Youxuan had also entered the shop with his friend and were looking for a place to sit.
The little fellow immediately waved enthusiastically. "Brother!"
When the teenager saw them, he also revealed a warm smile and came over with his friend.
It just so happened that there was an empty seat beside Ruan Danchen and the little fellow, so they sat down.
As they chatted and became familiar with each other, they found out that the teenager was in his third year of high school. He was already a top student in his school and had already been recommended into the Mathematics Department of A University. His friend had also been accepted by a famous foreign university. Therefore, the two of them did not have any pressure for the college entrance examination and came out to play on Sunday.
Inevitably, the two youths introduced themselves.
After asking, they found out that the teenager's friend was called Li Yiming.
"My name is Ruan Zeer." The teenager smiled.
"Aiya, my mother's surname is also Ruan. You guys are from the same family!" Qi Youxuan said happily. He tried very hard to build a relationship with Ruan Zeer, which made the three of them laugh.
Ruan Danchen rubbed Qi Youxuan's hair. According to the little fellow, everyone with the same surname was from the same family.
They chatted as they ate. Gradually, Ruan Danchen also found out that the two children's families were not particularly rich, but just ordinary families. Li Yiming's family ran a tea business. Although it was not very big, they still earned a lot more than the average family. They could be considered a wealthy family, which was why they could afford to study abroad.
"He's really a genius in mathematics. It's all in his family's genes." Li Yiming pointed at Ruan Zeer and said with a smile, "His grandfather is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He also dabbles in mathematics and is a professor in the Mathematics Department of A University. His father is also a professor in the Mathematics Department of A University and a researcher in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His uncle was in J University back then. If he was still around, he would definitely be in A University or B University by now. "
Ruan Zeer smiled a little sadly. "I've never met my uncle, but my father said that if my uncle was still around, he would have achieved more than my father. Ever since he was young, his talent in mathematics was higher than my father's. He was the one in the family who had the best chance of inheriting my grandfather's legacy. "
"That's why his family is full of geniuses in mathematics." Li Yiming felt that it was inappropriate to mention Ruan Zeer's sad story, so he quickly changed the topic.
Although Ruan Zeer's family was not very rich, it was a typical scholarly family. They were all scholars, and they were obviously not ordinary scholars.
Ruan Danchen suddenly felt a strong academic wind blowing against her face. Facing Ruan Zeer was actually quite stressful.
After chatting for a while, Qi Chenglin called again. He said that he had arrived at the shopping mall. Ruan Danchen told him the shop's name and location.
Not long after, Ruan Zeer, who was sitting next to Qi Youxuan, saw a tall and straight man walk in through the door. He was dressed ramrod-straight and wore a camel-colored cashmere coat on top of his suit. Although he looked a little travel-worn, the weathered look on his body made him feel that he was very manly.
The man at the door was a man who could turn straight men gay.
There was no other person in this shop, or perhaps in the entire shopping mall, who had that kind of temperament.
The man's face was a little cold and hard, but it did not hide his handsome features. Because of the wind and frost, his temperament seemed to have become even colder.
From the moment he walked in, Ruan Zeer noticed that the gazes of the girls in the shop were all fixed on the man, unable to tear themselves away.
However, the man did not seem to notice those gazes. With a cold and handsome face, he looked for someone in the shop.
Suddenly, the little boy beside him raised his hand and waved it forcefully. He called out, "Daddy, over here!"
Ruan Danchen turned around in surprise and saw Qi Chenglin in an instant.
Ruan Zeer was surprised to find that Qi Chenglin's originally stern and impatient expression immediately softened when he saw the mother and son.
His pair of black eyes were so soft that they seemed like they were about to melt. He was full of smiles and looked like a completely different person from the stern expression he had just had. His black eyes were sparkling. This kind of shallow gentleness that was not displayed made him even more charming.
However, when the girls heard the little boy call out "Daddy", they were all disappointed. Why was it that such a good man was either married or gay!
Qi Chenglin's eyes did not look elsewhere at all. Naturally, he did not know those disappointed gazes and expressions. All his attention was on Ruan Danchen. He walked over with a slight smile on his lips.
Li Yiming quickly stepped aside and sat next to Ruan Zeer.
He and Ruan Zeer had never seen such a man with such an imposing manner.
Li Yiming's family's tea business could only be considered a small business, with an annual income of two to three million. He was still a high school student and had never seen business with his parents. He had occasionally seen clients, but none of them had the same temperament as Qi Chenglin.
Ruan Zeer had come into contact with a lot of scholars. He had seen many of his grandfather's and father's colleagues and students. However, those who engaged in science exuded an academic temperament from head to toe. They were steady and scholarly, completely different from businessmen. Not to mention Qi Chenglin.
Qi Chenglin saw that they were sitting together and seemed to know Ruan Danchen and Qi Youxuan. He could not help but feel curious. When did Ruan Danchen get to know such young children?
Ruan Danchen took the initiative to explain, "I brought Youxuan out to buy clothes today. Didn't the mall open a new indoor amusement park? I brought Youxuan to play and met these two young people in there. "
Ruan Danchen did not mention children, although in her eyes, these two were children.
However, she also knew that such children already felt that they were adults and hated being called children by adults.
Sure enough, when they talked about young people, the two of them were quite happy.
Ruan Danchen introduced Qi Chenglin one by one and said to them, "This is my husband, Qi Chenglin."
The two of them did not know much about this especially high-end circle. Although Li Yiming did not admit it, he was indeed still a child. He had heard of the Qi family, but he only knew the two words "Qi family". He did not know much else.
