Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 186 Amazing

Chapter 186 Amazing
The confusion that ordinary parents often feel is something that Wen Yunwei, as a mother, has never experienced.

Since Shen Ruzhi was born, she has never caused her mother any worry.

She had a peaceful infancy, and from kindergarten onwards, her daughter became the "other people's child" that others talked about.

She is passionate about sharing what she sees and hears in her daily life, and she is also very open with her mother. No matter what she encounters or experiences, she will always confide in her mother as soon as she sees her.

Wen Yunwei has always felt that raising children is not as difficult as others say.

It is precisely because her child is so easy to care for that she, as a mother, is able to unconditionally shower her child with maternal love.

However, it seems that the daughter who once made Wen Yunwei feel so at ease has changed without her realizing it.

The mother and daughter talked less and less, and Shen Ruzhi no longer told her mother everything that happened at school as she used to.

As if deliberately avoiding it, her daughter has begun to have her own little thoughts as she gets older.

Seeing Shen Ruzhi's anxious expression, Wen Yunwei, as her mother, did not ask any questions.

Instead of nodding in agreement, she turned and walked towards the bedroom from the living room.

When she reappeared, she had already taken out the eye bag patch.

Hand it to your child.

"Keep this box in your room, but don't leave it on for too long."

"I know~"

Smiling, Shen Ruzhi accepted the item from her mother. With two days left until Saturday's rest day, she hoped that this item would help her get rid of the faint dark circles under her eyes in this very short time.

When a girl starts to care about her appearance, it means she has begun to mature.

Having obtained what she wanted, Shen Ruzhi did not immediately rush back to her room.

He looked at his mother in front of him, observing her while also appearing hesitant to speak.

It seems there's something they want to say, but they're too shy to express it properly.

Wen Yunwei saw her daughter's awkward demeanor and, though she felt confused, she maintained the composure expected of an adult in front of her child.

With her usual smile on her face, she softly asked her child.

"Do you need anything else? Just ask and Mom will get it for you."

"mom……"

Her mother's words gave Shen Ruzhi a little more confidence.

Under the living room lights, one could clearly see the blush on her cheeks.

Shen Ruzhi was shy and wanted to say it out loud, but after hesitating for a while, she whispered it in a very low voice.

"I want to learn makeup..."

Although their voices weren't loud, Wen Yunwei could hear them clearly in the living room where only the mother and daughter were.

Instead of responding immediately, he remained silent for four or five seconds before slowly opening his mouth to agree.

"Wearing makeup...?"

"It doesn't have to be heavy makeup, just something like the kind of makeup you did for me when I invited Uncle Liu to dinner last time."

“I also think that style suits you very well.”

"Uh-huh."

Nodding in agreement, the atmosphere between the mothers gradually became more harmonious.

Wen Yunwei did not refuse. Because she worked in the fashion industry, she was not opposed to her daughter wanting to learn makeup at her age.

"Then I'll teach you properly when I'm off this week. After all, starting from scratch requires..."

"no, sorry!"

Before Wen Yunwei could finish speaking, Shen Ruzhi interrupted her.

Upon hearing her mother's words, she immediately became nervous.

"Then it will be too late."

"..."

Wen Yunwei was unsure what her daughter meant by "too late".

But her intuition told her that it must be related to Liu Songyan's child.

"Are you in such a hurry? Makeup isn't something you can learn so easily."

That's why we need to seize the time to study.

"Zhizhi...do you have plans this week?"

"..."

The behavior was so obvious that Wen Yunwei, who had originally intended to ignore it for the time being, could no longer do so.

As soon as she asked the question, Shen Ruzhi, who had been relatively calm, immediately became flustered again.

Just now, I was so focused on dressing up to look even prettier that I completely forgot about keeping it a secret from my mother.

Seeing that her plan was almost exposed, she panicked and began to stammer.

"I made plans with my classmates... to go out and have fun."

"Male classmate?"

"How can it be!"

Although Shen Ruzhi tried to appear natural while refuting her mother, she never expected that her expression alone would be enough for others to easily discern her true nature.

Panic filled his face as he desperately tried to explain to his mother.

"It's a female classmate."

"That's it..."

Disappointment appeared in her eyes. Although Wen Yunwei wanted to believe what her child was saying, the scene she had just witnessed made it impossible for her to deceive herself.

Realizing that Shen Ruzhi was now hiding things from her, her mother, a sense of loss welled up uncontrollably in her heart.

With her eyes lowered, Wen Yunwei fell into silence.

The sight of this appearance immediately threw Shen Ruzhi, who had just been trying her best to defend herself, into a panic.

She looked at her depressed mother and, after a moment, tentatively asked in a low voice.

"Mom... if you don't want me to learn makeup, I don't have to."

"No."

Shake his head slightly.

Her daughter's words brought Wen Yunwei back to reality from her daze.

He forced a smile, looking at his daughter who was filled with worry in her eyes.

I forced myself to stay alert, wanting to respond to the other party in the best possible light.

"Mom just suddenly had a feeling."

"..."

"I feel like my precious daughter has suddenly grown up."

Looking at her mother who was facing her, Shen Ruzhi couldn't understand why the other woman would say such a thing.

However, when he heard that his mother had not rejected him, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down again.

Wen Yunwei did not press the matter further.

Upon seeing the joyful expression on Shen Ruzhi's face, she maintained her usual gentle demeanor.

He called out to the other person softly.

"Come to my room, I'll teach you from the beginning."

----------

Saturday.

After several days of low temperatures, temperatures have started to rise.

Temperatures in the thirties have forced people to switch back to summer clothes.

Before leaving the bathroom, Liu Songyan washed his face, dried it with a towel, and then ran his fingers through his hair.

As soon as she stepped outside, she ran into An Zhaoran, who was passing by.

Liu Songyan is currently in the prime of his development, and in just six months, his height has been steadily increasing, growing from 1.7 meters to 1.76 meters. Although he is still far shorter than his father, Liu Changcun.

But now, standing in front of An Zhaoran, he was clearly much taller than her.

My father is not home.

Only Liu Songyan, An Zhaoran, and Liu Wanqiu were at home.

An Zhaoran, who had just filled a glass with water, held the glass in her hands.

I was just about to go to Liu Wanqiu's place to see how her painting was going, when I happened to run into Liu Songyan, who had just finished washing up, as I passed by the restroom.

Having lived in this home for almost a month, An Zhaoran has completely gotten used to it, but she rarely interacts with the young man in front of her.

It wasn't that An Zhaoran didn't want to talk to him.

Given Liu Songyan's usually taciturn nature, whenever An Zhaoran took the initiative to speak, she would mostly receive a brief response.

Having faced numerous setbacks, An Zhaoran now appears somewhat unnatural when interacting with Liu Songyan.

At that moment, the two noticed each other.

An Zhaoran clenched her hand holding the water glass tighter, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to start the conversation.

However, Liu Songyan is not the type to engage in self-destructive behavior.

After noticing that An Zhaoran seemed somewhat conflicted, he immediately and politely said goodbye.

"I'm going out now, I might not be back until tonight."

"Oh...oh, I see."

Perhaps not expecting Liu Songyan to speak first, An Zhaoran, who was still struggling with what to say, immediately responded.

Looking at the boy who had just come out of the bathroom, I noticed that his head was wet with water and his hairstyle had been adjusted.

My gaze followed Liu Songyan's retreating figure as he walked towards the door.

It wasn't until Liu Songyan changed into his outdoor shoes and had already grasped the doorknob of the security door that the incident occurred.

An Zhaoran, who had been watching, seemed to snap out of her daze and suddenly spoke to the other person.

"Songyan, wait a moment!"

"..."

Liu Songyan, who was about to open the door, paused, seemingly not understanding why An Zhaoran behind him had stopped him. He turned around to look at her in confusion.

After stopping Liu Songyan, An Zhaoran quickly ran towards Liu Changcun's bedroom.

When she came out again, the cup in her hand had been put somewhere else, and she came to Liu Songyan with a small jar in her hand.

She quickly approached Liu Songyan and, under his surprised gaze, unscrewed the hair clay in her hand.

Take a small amount and rub it in your palm.

He then looked at Liu Songyan in front of him and spoke.

"You used water to style your hair, didn't you? That'll make it all messy when the wind blows."

He raised his hands, which were applying hair clay, and made a grasping motion in Liu Songyan's eyes.

"Auntie will help you style your hair; you definitely won't be disappointed with the results."

"..."

An Zhaoran's words reached Liu Songyan's ears without missing a single one.

This left him speechless for a moment, as he simply stared at the smiling woman in front of him.

Perhaps his silence lasted too long, which made An Zhaoran, who meant well, suddenly realize what was going on.

The hand, which was applying hair clay, hovered in mid-air.

Only then did she realize that she wasn't actually that familiar with Liu Songyan.

Trying to help someone with their hair without their consent... even if it's out of good intentions, Liu Songyan might think he's being incredibly presumptuous.

Realizing this, An Zhaoran immediately looked embarrassed.

Looking at Liu Songyan, who was standing silently in front of him, he racked his brains, trying to find something to ease the tension.

Liu Songyan witnessed all of An Zhaoran's actions.

Having been observing the other person, he did not choose to ignore them after seeing their anxious appearance, but silently took a step forward.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at the bewildered An Zhaoran.

An Zhaoran, who had initially appeared flustered, froze in place when she saw the boy's head tilting forward.

"Auntie, thank you for your trouble."

Liu Songyan's words reached An Zhaoran's ears, which eased her initial tension.

Looking at Liu Songyan in front of her, a smile appeared on her face.

The hand that was suspended in mid-air also gently climbed up.

Under An Zhaoran's skillful touch, the hair that was just a little flat immediately became more fluffy. After styling the hair, An Zhaoran went back to her room to get the hairspray.

Fix it to the boy's head.

Before leaving, Liu Songyan once again expressed his gratitude to her.

An Zhaoran responded to the other party and watched Liu Songyan open the door and leave the house.

Even as the security door closed again, she didn't immediately turn around and leave.

Perhaps it happens unconsciously during our time together...

She also began to integrate into the family and gained the children's approval.

Thinking about going to see a play tonight, An Zhaoran couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Thinking about Wen Yunwei's attitude towards Liu Changcun, she was now particularly troubled about how to bring it up.

But no matter what, she now has to tell her senior the truth.

The bet that only the two of them knew about back then.

She can only be the winner.

downstairs.

Liu Songyan did not choose to walk to Shen Ruzhi's house after leaving home.

Instead, he rode a bicycle to get around and eventually arrived at the other person's neighborhood.

I parked the car downstairs at her apartment building and then naturally took the elevator to her door.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed her hair.

Although An Zhaoran personally styled his hair, due to time constraints, Liu Songyan did not look in the mirror to examine it himself after the hairstyle was completed.

Whether it looks good or bad, he doesn't know now.

Although Liu Songyan usually doesn't care much about such things, he felt unusually nervous standing at Shen Ruzhi's doorstep.

This feeling came out of nowhere, and even Liu Songyan himself didn't know where the tension came from.

The boy stopped in front of the other person's house and took a deep breath.

After adjusting myself properly, I finally calmed down.

Raise your hand and gently knock on the closed security door in front of you.

"Dong dong dong."

Three muffled thuds followed, and Liu Songyan, having finished knocking, waited quietly at the door.

Not long after, the door in front of them was pushed open from the inside.

Take a step back to avoid being hit by the open door.

Liu Songyan was about to speak, but when he saw the figure opening the door, he froze in place as if his brain had crashed.

Looking at the figure that appeared inside the door, and seeing Shen Ruzhi's face, which was no longer as plain as before.
