Chapter 78 is the princess

  Li Luyu and An Zhi Shui said thank you and hung up the phone.

  Just as I was about to leave the room, the phone rang again. It was An Zhi Shui. Li Luoyu saw her sister come out after washing clothes and went to the balcony to answer the phone, afraid it was about her sister's physical condition, and her heart rose again.

  "Where are you?" An Zhi Shui heard the rustling sound, it was quiet just a moment ago.

  "On the balcony." It seems it's not his concern, Li Luoyu let out a sigh of relief, "Afraid they'll find out I'm on the phone with you."

  "Why are you afraid?" An Zhi said softly, covering the receiver as if she also had to be careful not to let An Nanxiu and Li Banchen hear her.

  "An Nanxiu, you know, I'm afraid if I secretly ask you out to play, she won't let me go without her. My sister always cares about the relationship between you and me, it's better not to let them know." Li Luyou usually calls An Zhishui on the phone, but there's always someone around making a face and looking unhappy, and Li Luyou wouldn't be as relaxed as he is now.

  "Does your sister know that you and I are friends?" An Zhishui asked nervously.

  "Others don't do this, it's just you who takes making friends as seriously as dating. In my sister's eyes, you've already been my friend for a long time." Li Luoyu didn't know what she was nervous about.

  "Li Luyu... don't spout nonsense just because we're friends." An Zhishui said in a low voice from the other side.

  Li Rouyou could even imagine her clenching her small fists in excitement.

  "I didn't say we're friends to talk about romance... Okay, okay... I won't chatter nonsense anymore, is there something?" Hearing the heavy breathing on the other end, Li Luyu quickly shifted her attention, but he himself was still smiling slyly over here. An Zhishui was in love, and when it came to intimate topics with the opposite sex, she would immediately become like a porcupine. Li Luyu could imagine that when she accompanied her father to attend some banquet or social gathering, there must be countless men who didn't know her personality being made very embarrassed by her.

  Even if those people didn't have any ambiguous or ulterior motives, An Zhikai was always cautious and never joked around with others.

  "Originally there was something, but now there's nothing." An Zhi felt that the water had finally mustered up the courage, and now he was being provoked by him, thinking that he couldn't do it like that.

  "Alright, I apologize, sorry, An Xiaojie. Li Luyu was wrong." Li Luyu was a person who yielded to softness but not to hardness, but he didn't argue with An Zhi Shui because she had a rare innocence and conservatism that few girls had at this time, which he could understand. Moreover, he always thought that actively admitting one's mistakes was a remarkable cultivation, especially among friends.

  "I don't want your apology." An Zhi Shui's voice softened.

  "Not even a chance to apologize." Li Luyou said with great grievance.

  "You said that friends don't need to apologize so much." An Zhi felt embarrassed, remembering the time he chased after him and apologized, and that's exactly what he had said.

  "So, can you tell me what's going on now?" Li Luoyou smiled. An Zhishui getting angry was a very common thing, but it was also easy to resolve. In fact, this kind of girl was quite good, her emotions wouldn't always be hidden in her heart, and she didn't have any ulterior motives. If she had been holding things in for too long, problems would accumulate and couldn't be vented, and who knows, one day it might erupt to an irreparable extent.

  "I want to invite your sister and Annan Xiu to my house tomorrow, we can have lunch here. My dad is abroad, Aunt Tang went to see friends, I gave the nanny a day off, and only I and the kitten are left at home." An Zhi Shui said in a pleading tone, very softly.

  Li Luyu had to press his ear against the receiver to barely hear clearly, he understood that An Zhi Shui had been holding a grudge about not inviting him to dinner that day, afraid that Li Luyu still had some resentment in his heart, wanting to do something to make up for it, but didn't have the courage to invite Li Luyu home for a private dinner, so he came up with this idea.

  "Alright, I'll answer for them..." Li Luyu thought it was no big deal. As long as he said he was going to An Zhishui's house, An Nanxiu would definitely get angry, but if he brought her along, she wouldn't dare to be disobedient. As for his sister, since childhood, she had always been a little pest, bringing her out to play, and she had never refused before.

  "I bought popsicles, Annanxiu will definitely like them." Anzhishui said excitedly.

  "No more, hide it away. I finally managed to persuade her to only eat one today." Li Luyu said hastily, "There's yogurt and milk, I plan to get her used to eating these."

  "Some." An Zhishui nodded heavily.

  "It's best to have ordinary Yili or Mengniu pure milk, a big box of yogurt for over ten yuan is enough." Li Luyu reminded her that once An Nanxiu got used to it, it would be troublesome. An Zhishui's standard of living was something that Li Luyu could not afford.

  "Don't worry, the taste of milk is almost the same everywhere, and yogurt is no exception. Some are just hard to eat." An Zhi Shui seemed to understand, because she already knew that An Nan Xiu was actually quite particular about some things, it's just that due to her memory loss, she couldn't be particular enough, after all, she was Princess Xiu.

  "Then tomorrow after we arrive, I'll give you a call."

  "Alright, goodbye." An Zhishui originally wanted to say that he must come, but felt it was inappropriate and didn't say it.

  Li Luoyu hung up the phone and came to the living room, "Tomorrow go to An Zhi Shui's house to play."

  "Alright." Li Banxian immediately agreed.

  "Do we have to go?" Annan Xi hesitated for a moment, her previously swaying feet coming to a stop, and said somewhat unhappily.

  "You can play at home, but no one will cook for you at noon," said Li Luyou.

  "I'll go then." An Nanxiu didn't want to stay home alone, glanced at Li Banzhuang and thought she was indeed a traitor, last time betraying her by going to Li Luyu's place, this time actively agreeing to go to An Zhihui's house, it was clear that both times An Nanxiu felt Li Banzhuang should be on the same side as her.

  Lǐ Lùyóu went back to the room and changed into a quilt, at this time it was already a bit cold sleeping on a cooling mat at night. Lǐ Lùyóu had vigorous blood and energy so she didn't mind, but Lǐ Bàndiāo was a girl and definitely couldn't handle it. Although there were often stories on TV about girls stripping naked to treat the male lead's hypothermia, Lǐ Bàndiāo was also the world's best hot water bottle. However, a girl's delicate body could only be well taken care of, their bodies would find it hard to recover once they caught a chill, so it was best to always keep themselves warm and cozy at all times.

  Li Luyu moved the quilt to the sofa and went to take a bath. Annanxiu was still sitting on the couch watching TV.

  Li Banzhu walked over to spread the quilt, An Nanxiu said: "Why haven't you gone to study yet?"

  "I want to help my brother warm the quilt." Li Banzhen crawled in, smiling at An Nanxiu, she didn't seem as dull as Li Luyou, how couldn't she see that An Nanxiu was particularly fond of her brother.

  Annan Xiuzi ignored her and continued watching his own TV.

  Li Banzhen leaned against the armrest of the sofa, her long hair scattered down, having just dried it and still needing a while to fully dry. Although her hair wasn't as flowing and smooth as An Nanxiu's, it was still black and shiny. What's there for a girl to be proud of if not taking good care of herself? Blowing hot air is the enemy of hair.

  "Annanxiu, why don't you curl your hair like mine? It'll definitely be very cute." Li Banzhuang saw Annanxiu's back, almost entirely hidden by her hair tied up, and felt a sudden urge to tease her.

  An Nan Xiu felt very disgusted by this phrase, "You're especially adorable!"

  Li Banxiao smiled, An Nanxiu was actually completely a child at heart, her mental age was even lower than her physical age of 14, because only children would constantly emphasize that they are not children.

  Li Banxun took Li Luyu's mobile phone, went around to An Nanxiu's side, covered her lower body with a quilt, and showed An Nanxiu the pattern of curly-haired girls in cartoon comics.

  In cartoons, most long-haired girls have exaggerated hair length and thickness, An Nanxiu is one of them. Li Banzuan took a few photos, "Look, when I have time, I'll take you to get it done, I have a classmate whose family runs a beauty salon, she likes doing it herself, mine was done by her, if I take you there, it's definitely free."

  Annan Xiu's long hair like this, Zhang Yali must be delighted and overjoyed.

  "You are indeed weak and small creatures, unable to obtain supernatural powers in the real world, so you sink into the realm of fantasy and create countless stories about humans with supernatural powers." Annan Xiu knew that this was something called animation or comics, similar to Jin Gang Hua Wa. Li Ban Xuan showed her pictures of magical and superpower-themed anime and manga.

  "Does she look good? Who made you feel so emotional?" Li Banzhen thought An Nanxiu was especially lovely when they first met, and wanted to kiss her, just like holding a beautiful doll in her hands. Little girls all love to dress up pretty dolls, put on makeup, change clothes and so on. It's just that Li Banzhen didn't have the conditions to buy such toys when she was young, and as she grew older, this thought faded away. But seeing An Nanxiu, this beautiful doll, she couldn't help herself.

  "No, I'm fine like this." Annan Xiu had no interest in curling her hair at all.

  "Come on, think about it, with hair like this, how elegant and luxurious it would be, just like a lovely little princess." Li Banzhu pulled An Nanxiu to lean against the quilt together to look at the pictures.

  "Like a princess?" Annan Xiu sneered, "It's not that just because you look elegant and refined, you're like a princess. A princess is a princess, no matter if she's elegant and refined, or arrogant and rude, or even lowly and unrefined. Wherever the identity of a princess is, she is a princess. On the other hand, no matter how beautiful, how noble she looks, without the identity of a princess, she's just an ignorant fool who likes to pretend and has no self-awareness."

  "Who said that?" Li Luyu walked out and happened to hear An Nanxiu's rare long speech, but what he said was enough to suffocate people.

  "Isn't it right?" Annan Xiu wasn't surprised at all. Li Luyu had never agreed with her ideas from the start.
