As soon as the phone call ended, Chen Xin Yue's text message arrived. Lu Fei looked at the message and gave Liu Yi Feng the address.
Liu Yi Feng nodded and teased with a smile, "Looks like you've got a admirer, kid."
"What admirer? She just asked for my help. We're not even close to anything yet!" Lu Fei said, though a smile played on his lips.
"If you're not close, why didn't she call me to install her printer? After all, I was the one who went on a blind date with her last time, but she called you. What does that tell you? It means she likes you. Otherwise, why would she let a man like you go to her place?" Liu Yi Feng analyzed.
Lu Fei kept denying it, "Isn't it because you were so aloof last time? Anyone could tell you weren't interested in her, and she's not going to just throw herself at you, is she?"
"Whether you admit it or not, I think there's something between you two. Try your best later, and maybe you'll win her heart. If you two get together, I'll personally handle your wedding cars, and I guarantee they'll be grand!"
"Looks like I have to work hard for your promised wedding cars," Lu Fei said with a laugh.
Before long, Liu Yi Feng's car pulled up to the apartment complex where Chen Xin Yue lived. The complex looked very upscale, and even the security guards at the entrance were exceptionally attentive. They saluted every person entering and exiting, making it seem like a military compound.
"I'll get out here. Are you waiting for me to finish, or are you going shopping yourself?" Lu Fei asked.
Liu Yi Feng chuckled and teased, "Waiting for you could take ages. She might even invite you for dinner. I'll just go shopping myself. It's not like I have a friend who's blinded by a pretty face, right?"
Lu Fei playfully punched his shoulder, "You! You're the one who asked me to come, and now I'm blinded by a pretty face? Alright, no more arguing. The security guard is coming; he probably won't let you park here." With that, he opened the car door and got out.
Before the guard could approach, Liu Yi Feng drove off. By the time he finished his shopping, it was already half-past three. Liu Yi Feng delivered the items to the company and saw Qiang Zi and the others already busy in their work clothes.
"I've put the things on the table. I have to pick up Tong Tong from school later, so I won't stay here with you," he said. He wasn't familiar with this line of work and didn't want to be a hindrance.
Qiang Zi, who was sawing wood, stopped his work upon hearing Liu Yi Feng. "Go ahead and pick her up. Once you've got her, you can head straight home. No need to come back here!"
"How will you get back then?" Liu Yi Feng inquired.
"My colleague is from the next village; I'll get a ride with him. We might be busy until seven or eight here. Tong Tong is still young, and it's not good to be back too late."
Seeing that Qiang Zi had a ride home, Liu Yi Feng didn't say anything further. Tong Tong had filming that evening, so it was indeed important to get back early. He had initially planned to let them finish early today if Qiang Zi didn't have a way back.
After a few more brief words, Liu Yi Feng left the company. He decided not to drive Qiang Zi tomorrow morning; Qiang Zi would drive himself.
He arrived at the kindergarten with about fifteen minutes before class ended and waited in the car. Suddenly, his car window was tapped a few times. He turned to see Xu Mu Qing standing outside.
He rolled down the window and smiled, "You're quite early today!"
"I bought Tong Tong some clothes, and I was afraid you'd already picked him up if I came late," Xu Mu Qing said, placing the clothes on the car seat through the window.
Liu Yi Feng noticed the logo on the bag. It was Gucci, and the clothes inside were certainly not cheap. He didn't understand why Xu Mu Qing would suddenly think of buying clothes for Tong Tong, so he quickly said, "We can't accept these clothes, but Tong Tong appreciates your kindness. Please take them back?" He handed the clothes back to Xu Mu Qing.
"I've already bought them; there's no reason to take them back. Besides, they won't give me a refund," Xu Mu Qing replied, not taking them.
"Why did you suddenly buy Tong Tong some clothes?" Liu Yi Feng asked curiously.
Xu Mu Qing explained, "You mentioned today that Tong Tong is going to be on the 'Strongest Brain' program, so I specially bought him a few outfits to change into during the recording. It's just a small gesture from me!"
"I've already bought Tong Tong a lot of clothes. This is too extravagant. I haven't even bought much for Yao Yao, which makes me feel a bit guilty!"
"You don't need to buy anything. Yao Yao has everything she needs, and I know Tong Tong also lacks nothing. These clothes are a gift for Tong Tong. I hope he'll win his competition, so I bought him all red outfits. Tong Tong has fair skin, and red suits him well."
Liu Yi Feng opened the bag and looked inside. Indeed, they were all red shirts and pants. He hadn't realized there was such a special meaning behind them.
"Then I'll accept them on behalf of Tong Tong. Thank you, but please don't be so extravagant next time. We don't need to be so formal with each other!"
Xu Mu Qing smiled and nodded, "Okay, make sure you have Tong Tong wear them!"
"When you watch the show, you'll see the clothes you bought for Tong Tong," Liu Yi Feng replied.
Just then, the dismissal bell rang. Liu Yi Feng got out of the car and walked with Xu Mu Qing towards the kindergarten entrance. Many parents had already picked up their children.
Before long, Tong Tong and Yao Yao walked out together. Liu Yi Feng took Tong Tong from the teacher, "Tong Tong, Aunt Xu bought you some new clothes. Quickly thank Aunt Xu!"
"Thank you, Aunt Xu!" Tong Tong immediately expressed his gratitude.
Xu Mu Qing stroked Tong Tong's hair, "You're welcome. Your dad told me you're going to be on 'Strongest Brain.' Auntie has high hopes for you. I believe you'll achieve great results. Go for it!" she said, making a cheering gesture.
Tong Tong was full of confidence, "Mhm, Tong Tong will do his best!"
"Is Tong Tong brother going to participate in a competition?" Yao Yao, who was beside them, asked curiously.
"Yes, Yao Yao and Mommy will sit in front of the TV and cheer for Tong Tong, okay?"
"Okay, I want to cheer for Tong Tong brother!" Yao Yao nodded excitedly.
"Then let's go home. Goodbye, Uncle Liu, and goodbye, Tong Tong brother!"
Yao Yao waved her small hands, "Goodbye, Uncle Liu! Goodbye, Tong Tong brother!"
Liu Yi Feng and Tong Tong bid farewell to Yao Yao in unison and then got into their respective cars.
They arrived home just as it turned five o'clock. Liu Yi Feng had Tong Tong try on the clothes from Xu Mu Qing. There were two sets, both bright red, but the styles were very fashionable. They looked like a mini-model on Tong Tong, very stylish. He had to admit that Xu Mu Qing had a good eye for fashion. Whether it was her own clothes or Yao Yao's, they always looked good, as if custom-made. This was the first time she had bought clothes for Tong Tong, and the sizes were perfect. If he were to buy clothes for Yao Yao, they'd likely be either too big or too small.
"Daddy, do they look good?" Tong Tong asked, looking at himself in the mirror from side to side.
"They look great! Tong Tong is so handsome; he looks good in anything!" Liu Yi Feng praised him generously.
Just as Tong Tong was about to change out of his new clothes, a car engine sounded in the courtyard. Then, Director Wang's voice called out, "Yi Feng, are you home?"
Liu Yi Feng and Tong Tong walked out of the room simultaneously and saw Director Wang and Xia Qian Qian playing with Da Hei and Da Bai. It was clear they were very fond of the two dogs, and the cameraman had already set up his camera.
"Director Wang, you're here! Come in and sit down. I just picked Tong Tong up from kindergarten!"
"Tong Tong, are those new clothes? They look great!" Xia Qian Qian turned and complimented Tong Tong on his clothes, which still had the tags on.
"Aunt Xu bought them for me, and Tong Tong really likes them!"
"Aunt Xu?" Xia Qian Qian looked confused.
Liu Yi Feng quickly explained, "She's a friend of mine. Her daughter attends the same kindergarten as Tong Tong. When she heard Tong Tong was going to be on 'Strongest Brain,' she specially bought him two outfits!"
"I see. Ms. Xu has good taste. But the most important thing is that Tong Tong looks good, so he looks good in anything!" For some reason, hearing both father and son mention Ms. Xu made Xia Qian Qian feel a bit uneasy, but she didn't show it.
