TECSBRO-(24)
Rong Que suppressed the urge to braid Lu Xu's hair directly but heard Lu Xu say, "It's so hot in the afternoon, Xiao Lu wants to tie it up like them."
Lu Xu was looking enviously at the girls in front of the teacher who were lining up to tie their hair.
There were also a few boys who had a small braided tail left at the back of their heads by their families.
Due to being brainwashed into making Lu Xu look like angel by the teacher, no one paid much attention to Lu Xu's long hair.
In the not very strong gender concept of the children, angels seemed to be gender-neutral.
In the orphanage, Lu Xu used to be teased for having long hair.
No one knew how many times Lu Xu had secretly used scissors, but his hair seemed to have a life of its own and would immediately grow back to its original state.
During the summer, it would be hot, and no one would tie Lu Xu's hair.
If Lu Xu tied a single ponytail using someone else's unused hair tie, he would still be bullied by having his ponytail pulled.
Now, in this reassuring environment, Lu Xu had the idea of tying up his hair again.
Upon hearing this, Rong Que looked around and found some ready-made hair ties in the dormitory. He brought them back to help Lu Xu tie his hair.
However, Rong Que wasn't sure how to tie a boy's hair.
Should it be those artistic little braids?
It seemed not quite suitable for Lu Xu.
Suddenly, an iconic image of a long-haired young boy came to Rong Que's mind.
Nezha.
It had to be said, who didn't like little Nezha when they were young?
Moreover, that hairstyle looked quite simple.
In a moment of complete trust in Rong Que, Lu Xu didn't ask what kind of hairstyle Rong Que was creating. He just waited somewhat bored and asked, "Is it done, Rong Que gege?"
Rong Que felt a bit guilty for a split second before replying, "It's almost done."
He divided the hair into two parts and tied double ponytails on each side. Since Lu Xu was still wearing a hat and needed to cover the fluffy ears, Rong Que had to tie the buns a bit lower.
Rong Que wasn't skilled in tying hair, so he could only use the most straightforward method to create the buns.
After tying the ponytails, Rong Que wrapped them around once, only to realize that they didn't have hair ties to secure them. They were temporarily sealed in an amusing situation.
Lu Xu dared not move, unsure of what Rong Que was doing. He inexplicably felt that any movement might ruin the progress.
Rong Que, not knowing how to proceed, tried to free one hand, but the hair would fall apart because his hands were still those of a child, unable to grasp the buns securely.
At this moment, Tao Yue walked over and broke the frozen scene between the two. He casually took a flower-patterned hair tie and put it on them. The hair tie happened to be shaped like Nezha's lotus flower hair tie, giving them a more playful appearance.
Seeing this, Rong Que arranged the other side as well. The two of them silently and tacitly completed the creation of matching buns.
Feeling Rong Que's hands leaving his head, Lu Xu turned around, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Does Little Deer look good like this?"
With Lu Xu's delicately cute features, the addition of two buns made him look even more adorable, reminiscent of a New Year painting doll. It didn't quite resemble Nezha.
"Looks good," both Rong Que and Tao Yue simultaneously responded.
After saying that, the two of them gave each other a disdainful look, seemingly dissatisfied with the synchronicity of their responses.
Lu Xu touched his head, feeling a hairstyle he hadn't seen before.
He ran to the mirror to take a look.
In the mirror, the little doll wore a cute painter's hat, with a pair of ears hanging behind. The two buns were perfectly positioned just below the hat, covering the location of the rabbit ears. The rabbit ears seemed like a small bunch of braids deliberately separated from the buns.
It suited Lu Xu well. The position of the buns also highlighted Lu Xu's face, making him look more like a Western-style doll. A Chinese-style Western doll.
Lu Xu didn't know what kind of hairstyle this was, but he thought it was quite cute.
Turning around, Rong Que, who followed him, still seemed a bit uncertain. He asked, "Xiao Lu, do you like it?"
Lu Xu joyfully turned his head back and replied with a smile, "Xiao Lu loves it! Thank you, Big Brother Rong Que!"
Rong Que felt a bit embarrassed by the praise; after all, he just randomly tied the buns.
Thinking that he should look up some braiding tutorials on his phone later, so he could frequently braid Lu Xu's hair like this.
Seeing the two of them having a good time, Tao Yue couldn't help but insert a sarcastic comment, "I helped with the buns, just so you know."
Lu Xu, hearing this, turned his head and looked at Tao Yue with wide eyes. He seemed somewhat incredulous.
Finding it a bit amusing, Rong Que explained, "He gave me a hand."
Lu Xu, upon hearing this, obediently said, "Thank you."
Yes, just those two words, "thank you."
Tao Yue, who was unwilling to believe this, covered his chest as if he was heartbroken, tears flowing in his heart.
So perfunctory, QVQ.
In kindergarten, there was plenty of time for waking up. After Lu Xu and the others finished getting ready, the little girls in line for braiding their hair were still not done.
The three of them went outside together to get afternoon tea.
Although they called it afternoon tea, it was actually two large milk-flavored biscuits and a cup of goat milk.
Actually, they originally provided hot milk, but Qi Sui had informed them in advance and replaced all the nursery's milk with a slightly more expensive goat milk.
If there were children who were not used to goat milk, they could ask the teacher for separate cow's milk. This way, Lu Xu could have milk without feeling too different.
Dipping the milk-flavored biscuits into goat milk was delicious, and the kids really enjoyed it.
However, due to the setup in the dormitory area, there were no tables for the children to use.
Lu Xu held a cup as big as his face with one hand and two biscuits larger than his hand with the other. Then, he cautiously retreated and fumbled his way to a small stool before sitting down carefully.
Watching him clumsily sit down, holding his cup and biscuits, Rong Que found it somewhat amusing.
Lu Xu ate a bite of the biscuit and took a sip of milk, maintaining a very orderly process. Sometimes, if he accidentally took an extra bite of the biscuit, he would compensate by taking an extra sip of milk.
His head shook from side to side, and the two small buns at the back of his head looked especially cute.
After eating half of the biscuit, Lu Xu couldn't help but let out a small burp. He wanted to cover his mouth but didn't have a free hand, so he frowned in distress.
"What's wrong?" Rong Que, now more relaxed in his interactions with Lu Xu, spoke casually, resembling close friends. So far, the only time Lu Xu had lost control was when he saw the chocolate box. As long as things weren't too stimulating for him, Little Lu Xu was just an adorable child.
Lu Xu wrinkled his delicate and cute little face. "My tummy is too full." He had eaten quite a bit for lunch as well.
Biscuits soaked in sheep's milk would expand a bit, and Lu Xu began to feel uncomfortable in his stomach, realizing that he had eaten too much.
"Can't finish it? Give it to me then." Rong Que, with his larger appetite, probably due to taking care of Lu Xu's higher activity level, naturally took over the partially eaten biscuit when he noticed that Lu Xu didn't want to waste it.
Lu Xu blinked his eyes and stared at Rong Que's actions. From receiving it to eating it without even looking, Rong Que finished the biscuit in a few bites.
After a few bites, Rong Que noticed that Lu Xu was still watching him. He turned his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lu Xu's eyes sparkled, "Big Brother Rong Que looks so cool like this."
Rong Que was stunned, and his face blushed a bit belatedly. There was a feeling of being dizzy and turned around by a child.
