Morning Star

Among the few people, Mo Xinglan and Chu Wenxuan were the most eye-catching. No man had hair that long, unless he was wearing a wig. But he was wearing a wig, because the clothes he wore were normal.

Fortunately, we had booked a private room long ago, otherwise this would have attracted more attention.

A group of people walked into the private room and closed the door, and it was finally quiet.

Mo Xinglan and Chu Wenxuan had never eaten barbecue before, but they would grill the meat of wild animals when they were training outside. So they learned how to do it after seeing Chujiu and Xiaoxiao do it once.

While eating barbecue, Chushi felt like the redundant one. Why? Because Chujiu had Mo Xinglan to help her barbecue, Xiao Xiao had Chu Wenxuan, and Yang Wanqing and Xiao Xuerong were even more so. Everyone had a partner to help with the barbecue, but he didn't. How pitiful it was to be alone.

He decided not to go out to eat with them anymore. It was too cruel. It was too cruel for him. It was a quadruple critical hit. What sin had he committed in his previous life?

Chujiu looked at him pitifully as he used chopsticks to flip the meat on the grill. She sighed and picked up a piece of beef that Mo Xinglan had grilled for her and placed in the bowl in front of her.

Just as he stretched his hand halfway, his wrist was grabbed by a bony hand.

When I glanced sideways, I saw a warning look on his face and an unhappy tone in his words: "What are you doing?"

"To Chu Xiaoshi." She blinked twice as a matter of course.

He felt a little aggrieved: "I baked it for you."

"I know."

"You know you still..." He glanced at Chushi who was looking at him pitifully, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he swallowed his words halfway through.

Chujiu also glanced at Chushi, who had the same expression, and turned his gaze back to him: "Don't you think he is pitiful?"

He hesitated for a moment: "...It seems, a little bit."

The tenth day: “…”

He could hear it, so was there any need to speak it out? Did he think the harm they had done to him wasn't enough? Was it necessary to kill them and destroy their hearts?

Mo Xinglan thought that he was Chujiu's younger brother and hesitated for a long time before finally letting go of Chujiu's wrist.

Chujiu put the beef, which was almost cold, into Chushi's bowl and laughed dryly: "You look so cute... uh... cute... grilled meat... Xingxing's grilled meat is delicious, you should try it."

"..." Chushi lowered his eyes and looked at the piece of beef in the bowl. He felt uncomfortable when he thought of her words.

But there is absolutely no intention to thank the ninth day of the first lunar month.

He clenched his hands tightly. At this moment, another piece of pork belly was placed in the bowl, followed by pieces of various meats. However, he did not find it very touching.

He looked around at the people present, all of them stared at him with sympathy. His mother even sighed and shook her head.

He was so angry that he tightened his hands holding the chopsticks and his lips trembled. He felt like crying when he saw them in pairs.

"You...you..." He gritted his teeth, his voice trembling, "What do you mean? Huh?"

They looked at each other, feeling a little awkward. Then they all looked at Chujiu, their meaning was obvious.

Chujiu looked at Chushi woodenly and smiled: "Um... Chushi, you... eat."

As she spoke, she raised her chin, and with a smile on her face that tried to appear friendly but failed, it looked like a provocation.

Chushi felt that she was going too far, and felt sorry for him for provoking her. She glared at Chujiu, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

He looked at the other people again, all of whom had innocent looks on their faces. He gritted his teeth and said, "You...you are going too far! You are simply bullying me too much! You don't take me seriously at all! How despicable!"

He stood up excitedly and said, "If I am guilty, please punish me according to the law, instead of doing it like you do... like this..."

"What about us?" Yang Wanqing picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into her mouth, looking innocent.

So does everyone else.

He clenched the chopsticks in his hand, raised his fist, and squeezed out words from between his teeth: "You abused me, and then looked at me with sympathy and pity. Do you think you are going too far?"

"Pfft, hahahaha..."

Chujiu was the first one who couldn't help laughing, followed by Xiaoxiao, and then the four parents. Even Chu Wenxuan and Mo Xinglan covered their lips and laughed quietly.

Chushi was furious and wanted to leave, but if he left, he would not be able to eat the barbecue on the table. He thought about it and looked at the almost cold meat in the bowl that everyone had given him. He sat down again with a sullen look and was too lazy to say anything to them.

Laugh, laugh! He is going to eat all the meat and leave them with nothing.

Except for Mo Xinglan and Chu Wenxuan, everyone knew Chu Shi's personality, so they were not surprised.

After laughing enough, the group of people continued to eat. But this time, everyone would take care of poor Chushi from time to time.

After eating the barbecue, everyone drove to the ancient city as planned.

Since we were going to the ancient city, we had to wear Hanfu or something like that. But they didn't have any Hanfu, and it wasn't worth it to buy them on the spur of the moment, and they were expensive. But they had Hualing and Moyu clothes that looked similar to Hanfu.

Chujiu and Xiaoxiao thought about this when they left, and prepared a lot of clothes, which just came in handy.

The group changed their clothes in their own car in order. Mo Xinglan, Chu Wenxuan and Xiao Xiao also tied up their hair.

As for why there is no Chujiu, it is because Chujiu has not properly tied her hair for a long time. She is only good at tying a high ponytail.

Before she confessed her love to Mo Xinglan, she would tie her hair into a simple double bun, but since then, Mo Xinglan has basically been the one to do her hair. When Mo Xinglan was injured and unconscious, she just used a headband to tie up the ends of her hair and was done with it, not wanting to do it any more. Over time, she got rusty at it and didn't know how to do it anymore.

Yang Wanqing looked at Chujiu who was standing there obediently and letting Mo Xinglan tie her hair. She shook her head in disappointment and looked at Mo Xinglan again: "Xinglan, you just spoil her too much. Look, she has been in Hualing and Demon Realm for so long, and she can't even tie her hair."

“……”Chujiu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Mo Xinglan smiled slightly and said softly: "I didn't teach her. Jiuer is still very smart and can learn many things in a few seconds."

Yang Wanqing sighed and couldn't bear to watch any more. The more she watched Chujiu, the more she felt that he was a moron.

Oh, what a sin. How could she give birth to a moron?

Chujiu was stunned for a moment after hearing his words. It was rare for her to hear him praise her for being smart.

Mo Xinglan tied up Chujiu's hair and waited for a while, and the others finally changed their clothes.

Chushi felt very curious about wearing this kind of clothes for the first time. She excitedly came to Chujiu and Xiaoxiao and turned around, with a look of anticipation on her face: "Sister, Xiaoxiao, please help me see how I look like? Do I look good in this?"

Xiao Xiao and Chu Jiu looked him up and down, and said in unison, "Not bad, he is worthy of being our little brother."

After hearing their praise, Chushi was a little bit unconvinced. After all, they, especially Chujiu, basically only criticized him and never praised him, so he suspected that they were just being perfunctory.

He frowned and became suspicious: "Are you two really praising me? Are you not just trying to please me?"

Chujiu rolled his eyes at him, knowing he would say that. He patted Xiaoxiao's shoulder without saying anything, but his meaning was clear.

In the eyes of this younger brother, she was not a sister who would praise him and treat him well. So it was better for Xiao Xiao, who he had thought of as his biological sister since childhood, to say nice things.

Chushi glanced at her and was not surprised. He looked at Xiaoxiao expectantly: "Sister Xiaoxiao?"

Xiao Xiao looked him up and down again and nodded: "Really good, but..."

"But what?" he asked.

She thought about it, looked at his dark brown hair, then looked at the black robe he was wearing, and finally realized what was wrong.

Pointing at his hair: "Your hair is too short."

"..."

He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and scratched his hair, looked at Chu Wenxuan, who was standing beside her in a blue robe and had two strands of hair hanging in front of his body that reached his hips, then turned to look at Mo Xinglan's hair that Chu Jiu was holding in his hand and playing with.

Seeing this, he asked Mo Xinglan curiously: "Brother-in-law, how do you manage to grow your hair so long?"

He just couldn't understand why his brother-in-law's hair was so much longer than his brother's, reaching his knees, even though he was younger than his brother.

When he asked this question, the four female compatriots present, including Yang Wanqing, Xiao Xuerong, Xiao Xiao, and Chujiu, all looked at Mo Xinglan in unison. Their faces were filled with expectation and curiosity.

The other men also looked at him, but only with curiosity.

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment when he noticed the gazes of several people. He put his fingers on his lips and coughed softly: "I haven't cut it yet."

"Then...won't there be hair loss or something?" Yang Wanqing asked.

Having said that, when she thought about it carefully, she had never seen such long hair on the floor or other objects in the house after being together for so long.

"Won't it split?" Xiao Xuerong asked.

Generally, if the hair is too long, there will be split ends, right? However, just by looking at his hair, you can tell that the hair quality is very good and smooth, and it doesn't look split at all.

Mo Xinglan was suddenly asked by two elders in an expectant tone, and was stunned for a moment and failed to answer in time.

But then he thought these questions were so stupid that he didn't want to answer them.

Coincidentally, Chujiu answered for him in a boastful tone: "Of course not."

He paused, then smiled mysteriously at the two of them, only to receive a roll of the eyes from them.
