Shen Li hesitated for a moment before handing her phone back.
Fang Yunyi finally realized this.
“Ah.” She retracted her hand and smiled. “What I mean is that Ah Li is capable of drawing, designing, and has an aesthetic appreciation online. I don’t need to look at it to know that it will definitely look good.”
Then, she unhurriedly looked at her phone and praised her.
“See, I told you.”
Shen Li replied, “… Thank you, Aunt Fang.”
But… why had she touched her bun?
Probably because the look on her face was so obvious, Fang Yunyi took the initiative to save her dignity.
“Speaking of which, Ah Li, your bun is really beautiful. Yesterday, when I saw that your hair was loose, I wondered what your hair would look when it was tied up. It really looks good!”
Shen Li recalled the cartoon Ah Li that she had seen before. Her bun seemed to be… quite a common hairstyle?
But of course, she could not say that.
The corners of her lips curved.
Old Master Lu leaned against the sofa and laughed when he heard that.
“Not only does Ah Li look good with long hair, but she’s beautiful with short hair as well!”
As soon as he said that, the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Lu Huaiyu’s eyes moved slightly.
After Old Master Lu said this, he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly kept quiet.
However, the words had already left his mouth, and everyone had heard.
Fang Yunyi looked curious. “Is that so?”
Shen Li paused and looked at Old Master Lu.
“Grandpa Lu, have you ever seen me with short hair?”
She had not had short hair since that summer three years ago.
At that time, she had still been in Lincheng.
It seemed unlikely… that Grandpa Lu would have seen her at that time.
“Ahem!”
Old Master Lu guiltily looked away.
“Well, what I mean is, Ah Li is an attractive person. She’s equally beautiful with long or short hair!”
After he said that, he picked up the teacup and covered up the expression on his face.
Fang Yunyi nodded in agreement.
“I think so too! It’s a pity that I’ve never seen it before. Ah Li, do you have a photo of yourself with short hair?”
Shen Li withdrew her gaze and smiled.
“It’s been a few years since. My current phone doesn’t have a photo of that time.”
Fang Yunyi sighed in pity and could only give up.
However, things were good now. Most of the little princesses had long hair anyway!

Shen Li held the cup and took a sip of the peach juice. Her raven-feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Lu Huaiyu’s gaze paused on her face for a moment before he suddenly said, “Grandpa, what is your Weibo ID on Ah Li’s Super Words?”
Old Master Lu was shocked and almost spat out a mouthful of tea. He choked and coughed violently.
“Cough… cough… cough… cough…!”
Lu Zheng went over and patted Old Master Lu’s back to help him breathe. “Are you alright?”
Old Master Lu’s face had turned red from choking. He waved his hands repeatedly.
“Cough… I’m… I’m fine! Just… cough cough… I accidentally choked… Cough cough!”
As he adjusted his breathing, he gave Lu Huaiyu a look of extreme grievance.
This kid!
Hadn’t he just accidentally spilled the beans? Did he have to be so ruthless?
Lu Huaiyu handed him a box of tissue.
“Please slow down.”
Old Master Lu felt wronged, but when he thought about how he had really said something he should not have, and how he was in the wrong, he could only swallow his anger.
Shen Li also looked over.
Old Master Lu’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said,”This, this, I was actually just playing around. My ID name was randomly picked when I registered at that time, so I can’t remember it clearly.”
Lu Huaiyu smiled. “I see. I was going to say that if mom also plays with Weibo, you can also communicate with each other–”
“There’s no need!”
“There’s no need!”
Old Master Lu and Fang Yunyi exclaimed in unison, very decisively.
Shen Li’s gaze swept over the two of them.
Fang Yunyi was calm and composed. She gave a slight smile as she said,”I mean, I can’t play with those things on Weibo. Forget it.”
Old Master Lu also said,”Yeah, that Weibo account of mine is only used to repost the lucky draws. There isn’t any substantive content, so it’s fine if you don’t pay attention to it.”
Since the two parties involved had said so, naturally, it was not good for the others to persuade them any further.
Lu Zheng looked at Fang Yunyi, who looked tense all over, and said, “Dad, shall I play chess with you?”
Old Master Lu suddenly felt relieved.
“Good, good, good! This is good! Huaiyu, go and get the chessboard!”
With this interruption, the matter of Weibo was put to rest.
…
In the afternoon, after watching Old Master Lu play a few games of chess, Shen Li finally got up to leave.
Lu Huaiyu went to see her off.
Old Master Lu and the others walked her all the way to the door.
Shen Li turned around and bid them all goodbye.
“Grandpa Lu, Uncle Lu, Aunt Fang, goodbye.”
Seeing that she was really going to leave, Fang Yunyi finally took a step forward and very naturally patted Shen Li’s hand.
“Ah Li, you should come over often to visit in the future.”
Shen Li fixed her gaze upon her. Then her red lips curled up, then she opened her arms and gently hugged her.
Fang Yunyi’s brain immediately went blank.
Shen Li sniffed the faint fragrance on her body and felt the warm temperature of her body. Her eyelashes trembled slightly.
“Thank you, Aunt Fang.”
Before Fang Yunyi could regain her senses, she had already subconsciously moved. She raised her hand to hug Shen Li and touched her hair.
“You don’t need to be so polite with Auntie.”
Only then did Shen Li let go of her. She smiled at her before turning around to get into the car.
Lu Huaiyu followed her.
The black car slowly drove away until it was completely out of sight. Fang Yunyi then withdrew her gaze and muttered, “Lu Zheng, did you see it just now?”
She stretched out her arm. It was slender and beautiful, and with a wistful voice, she said,”I just hugged my daughter.”

…
The car drove slowly along the road.
Lu Huaiyu turned to look at Shen Li.
“Did you have a good time today?”
Shen Li held his hand, nodded, and said softly, “Yes.”
