Lu Wanwan's thank you made Li Xiuqi suddenly surprised: "Auntie..."
"Don't move, I haven't combed it yet." Lu Wanwan reminded softly.
Li Xiuqi had no choice but to restrain the urge to look back and murmured: "As long as Auntie doesn't blame me for being nosy."
"I don't blame you."
Lu Wanwan discovered that Li Xiuqi's hair was actually softer than An An's and was a little brown, probably due to malnutrition.
The body under her palm was also thinner than that of ordinary children. When she grasped it, she could grasp Li Xiuqi's shoulder blades.
This made Lu Wanwan frown subconsciously.
Li Xiuqi felt the friendliness radiating from Lu Wanwan, and his nervous mood completely calmed down.
Just now, he heard an argument coming from the house. An An's voice was surprisingly loud, vaguely asking his uncle something. Thinking of the gentle woman in the middle of them, Li Xiuqi lingered at the door.
"Li Xiuqi..."
"Auntie..."
The two of them spoke out in unison.
Lu Wanwan said: "You go ahead and say it."
Li Xiuqi gave in and said politely: "No, aunt should speak first."
Lu Wanwan then asked: "Have you eaten well recently?"
Li Xiuqi was startled. In his memory, no elder seemed to have asked him if he had eaten well.
"Yes, no matter what great-grandmother and grandpa Wen make, I will eat it."
Lu Wanwan said: "Yes, but they are older and the food they eat is bland, so it may not be suitable for you."
"It doesn't matter, it's already good if you have one bite to eat."
From the moment his mother died, Li Xiuqi suddenly realized that if no one adopted him, he would definitely die too, because he would have no way to take care of himself.
Therefore, Li Xiuqi was full of gratitude to his great-grandfather's family who adopted him, and naturally he would not ask for too much.
Lu Wanwan couldn't help but look at him one more time, and then said, "I just saw that you have been accompanying An An in the yard."
Li Xiuqi said: "Well, I want Huai'an to get acquainted with Will, so that Will won't scare him again when Huai'an comes again."
Lu Wanwan continued: "But you won't be able to stay with me for long, and your nose will runny."
Li Xiuqi looked embarrassed and said, "It's all because of my poor health. Huai'an has to accompany me into the house before he has had a good time with Will."
Lu Wanwan said: "So, if you want to stay with someone for a long time, whether you struggle together or compete together, you must have a body that can match them to ensure that you will not be left behind by the other person, right?"
Li Xiuqi was stunned for a moment and then said: "...Yes, I don't want to be left behind halfway, so that all the previous efforts will be meaningless."
Lu Wanwan saw that he seemed to have listened, and couldn't help but smile: "In the past, you only focused on studying, but now you have to pay attention to your health, because you and An An are cousins, and he must hope that you are healthy."
I hope he...is healthy?
Li Xiuqi was silent for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, don't you... hate me?"
