She Belongs To Me Ch.57 Extra 4

“… The children made paper-cutting crafts together in the morning, and after it was over, Lin Wei put the small scissors in her pocket. We also blame ourselves for not counting them in time… Then during nap time, she… I asked Lin Wei why she cut Lu Jianyu’s hair. She said Lu Jianyu’s bun was too cute, and she couldn’t help herself and suddenly started cutting it… I’m really sorry, Lu Jianyu’s mother. This is our negligence.”

Outside the classroom, Teacher Xiaoyang apologized, and Lin Wei’s mother looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, “I’m really sorry. Lin Wei is too mischievous. I heard Teacher Xiaoyang talk about it, and my heart was in my throat. I was so scared. What if she cuts her skin?”

Jiang Ci looked at Xiao Jiang Tang and Lin Wei, who were specially left behind in the classroom. They were sitting at a small desk drawing. Xiao Jiang Tang leaned over to look at Lin Wei’s paper and said something, and the two giggled.

Xiao Jiang Tang’s long black hair, which was carefully nurtured by Lu Xingxue, was half-cut into a mess on the left side, which couldn’t be tied up anymore, so it could only be let loose on both sides. But children don’t hold grudges, and they made up after crying.

Jiang Ci withdrew her gaze with a heavy heart and said to Teacher Xiaoyang and Lin Wei’s mother in a calm tone, “It’s okay. Hair grows back, as long as there is no injury.”

Teacher Xiaoyang said, “No, no, we will definitely pay more attention in the future. To be honest, we teachers were all scared today.”

Teacher Xiaoyang waved inside the classroom: “Lu Jianyu, Lin Wei, go home with your mom.”

Xiao Jiang Tang put down her paintbrush, cleaned up her desk, and skipped to the classroom door with her deer backpack. Jiang Ci lovingly touched her head. Before she could speak, she suddenly pouted her mouth, hugged Jiang Ci’s leg, and sobbed, “Mama, my hair, my hair…”

It seemed that she had just remembered that her hair had been cut.

Lin Wei’s mom and Teacher Xiaoyang felt even more embarrassed. Lin Wei looked around, afraid of being criticized again, and anxiously twisted her fingers.

“Xiao Jiang Tang, don’t cry, be good,” Jiang Ci hugged Xiao Jiang Tang, “Let’s wave goodbye to Teacher Xiaoyang, Auntie, and Lin Wei, and see them tomorrow, okay?”

Xiao Jiang Tang waved her hand perfunctorily, and sadly buried herself in Jiang Ci’s arms, “My hair, my hair…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Jiang Ci nodded to Teacher Xiaoyang and the others, coaxing Xiao Jiang Tang to leave.

There were fruits prepared for Xiao Jiang Tang in the car. She sat in the back seat with the safety belt on, holding the fruit box, and tearfully opened her mouth to eat.

Jiang Ci drove while looking at her from the rearview mirror: “Xiao Jiang Tang, shall we just cut all our hair short?”

Xiao Jiang Tang’s just-calm mood collapsed again. The fruit in her mouth no longer tasted sweet, and tears fell down her face, “Don’t cut it, don’t cut it… sob, my hair.”

Jiang Ci was at a loss: “…Okay, let’s not cut it for now.”

Soon after the mother and daughter arrived home, Lu Xingxue also came back. When she saw Xiao Jiang Tang, she was stunned.

Auntie Zhuang was laying out the prepared dishes on the table. Xiao Jiang Tang was hungry, so she followed Auntie Zhuang in and out, and her attention was attracted by the delicious food. She had already forgotten about the trouble with her hair.

Jiang Ci pulled Lu Xingxue aside and whispered to her, “She didn’t want to cut her hair short, but… it looks so ugly like this, doesn’t it!?”

“Talking about your own daughter like that,” Lu Xingxue lightly lifted Jiang Ci’s chin and scratched it like a cat. “I’ll figure something out.”

Xiao Jiang Tang had no loss of appetite during dinner, but Jiang Ci felt uneasy at the sight of her head, to the point that the family didn’t feel like taking a walk together after dinner.

Lu Xingxue took Xiao Jiang Tang out, and Jiang Ci twisted a Rubik’s cube with dark circles under her eyes. She hadn’t twisted it a few times before Huo Zhenzhen called her and complained about Xiao A’s mother, “I don’t know how many times she’s beaten Xiao A up over marriage. She thinks he’s dragging me down. We’ve been dating for so long, and he still hasn’t proposed. He’s such a loser.”

“I see,” Jiang Ci replied. “Xiao A’s mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She loves you very much but won’t say it.”

Huo Zhenzhen sighed. “She’s given me Stockholm Syndrome.”

“But whether or not you marry Xiao A doesn’t depend on him. He’s proposed to you so many times, but you haven’t agreed,” Jiang Ci said.

“If Xiao A were a perfect partner like our President Lu, I wouldn’t need to think about it. I would have married him already. Men always have their quirks, and they’re not as careful as women. The more affectionate you and President Lu are, the more Xiao A will feel disgusted,” Huo Zhenzhen said.

Jiang Ci was shocked. “Isn’t your mindset a bit twisted?”

Huo Zhenzhen laughed heartily. “Don’t you know how lucky you are? Where else can you find someone as perfect as President Lu now?”

“The two talked on the phone for a long time, chatting about this and that, until their phones became hot, and the battery was running low. Jiang Ci checked her work schedule absentmindedly.”

“Mama!” Xiao Jiang Tang’s running sound could be heard getting closer. She ran into Jiang Ci’s arms like a little sugar ball and exclaimed, “Mama, look at me! Am I pretty?”

Jiang Ci widened her eyes. Xiao Jiang Tang’s hair was cut to chin length with straight bangs, and she looked like a different person – so well-behaved and sweet.

Sure enough, it was all because of Lu Xingxue.

“Very pretty,” Jiang Ci smiled and pinched her little puffed-up face. “Maybe even prettier than before.”

Xiao Jiang Tang covered her mouth and giggled, “Mommy is pretty too! Look, we’re exactly the same!”

She proudly flipped her hair in front of Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci didn’t react at first, but after a moment of contemplation, she realized something was wrong and turned around.

Lu Xingxue’s originally long black hair now only reached her shoulders, and under the warm light, she smiled at Jiang Ci.

“I’m feeling really upset now. Lu Xingxue and I are not talking to each other.”

Less than an hour after hanging up with Huo Zhenzhen, Jiang Ci sent her this message.

Huo Zhenzhen couldn’t understand, “What happened? Weren’t things okay just now?”

Jiang Ci replied, “She cut her hair without telling me! She didn’t even discuss it with me and just went ahead and cut her hair! She didn’t give me any warning, and I can’t accept it!”

Huo Zhenzhen read this message repeatedly four or five times, rolled her eyes frantically, and kicked the dog food bowl over with one foot: “If you keep showing off your affection like this, our friendship might not last.”

Jiang Ci threw her phone aside. If she had known that letting Xiao Jiang Tang trim her hair would cost her so much, she would never have agreed to it.

Compared to Lu Xingxue’s short hair… let Xiao Jiang Tang be ugly forever.

Lu Xingxue came out of the shower and rubbed her wet hair. Jiang Ci turned over and didn’t want to face her.

Lu Xingxue sensed Jiang Ci’s displeasure and hugged her from behind, “Are you angry?”

Her warm body surrounded Jiang Ci with a familiar fragrance, “Baby, look at me.”

Jiang Ci reluctantly turned her head, Lu Xingxue’s hair was slightly messy from the towel, but it didn’t affect her delicate features, especially the way she raised her lips, which was fascinating. Jiang Ci grabbed her hair and felt a sourness in her heart: “I like your long hair. I can’t bear to see it gone.”

Lu Xingxue: “It’ll grow back.”

Jiang Ci: “But it’s so short now.”

Lu Xingxue: “Isn’t it nice?”

Jiang Ci: “Well, it is.”

“I’ve been thinking these days, maybe I’m too predictable, and it makes you lack excitement and passion.” Lu Xingxue said as she kissed her on the head. “You don’t know how much I care about your feelings.”

It was just a joke, and Jiang Ci never expected Lu Xingxue to take it seriously. She hurriedly explained, “I spoke without thinking, and I won’t say that again in the future, even if it’s a joke. I love you very, very much.”

Lu Xingxue didn’t say anything else, but kissed Jiang Ci tenderly and carefully.

Hei Yanquan crept into their room with cat-like steps, and the heavy door made no sound. It inexplicably pricked its ears and turned away.

Huo Zhenzhen’s wedding was scheduled for the beginning of next year, on a day carefully chosen by Xiao A’s mother as an auspicious date. However, it rained lightly all day.

The wedding venue was a particularly classy manor, bustling with people until nightfall. The light rain turned into a downpour, and lightning and thunder filled the sky.

Xiao Jiang Tang was a flower girl for the whole day, and she was tired. The bride and groom were playing around with Lu Xingxue, so Jiang Ci took Xiao Jiang Tang back to their room to sleep first. Xiao Jiang Tang was so tired that she couldn’t keep her eyes open and fell asleep on Jiang Ci’s shoulder.

When they reached the room, Jiang Ci carefully put Xiao Jiang Tang on the bed, tucked her in, and Xiao Jiang Tang opened her eyes slightly, grabbing Jiang Ci’s hand. “Mama…”

“Hmm?” Jiang Ci kissed her forehead. “Good night, sweetie. Have sweet dreams.”

Xiao Jiang Tang, suppressing her sleepiness, said, “It’s thundering, and I’m a little scared…”

Jiang Ci replied to her daughter, “Mama is here, and Mommy will be here soon, so you don’t have to be afraid.”

“Mama is so brave, not afraid of thunder…” replied Xiao Jiang Tang.

“Because Mama has someone to protect her,” Jiang Ci explained.

“Does Mama protect you?” Xiao Jiang Tang asked.

“Yes, she does,” Jiang Ci replied, stroking her daughter’s hair.

“Do Mama and Mommy both protect me?” Xiao Jiang Tang asked.

Jiang Ci gently touched her forehead and said, “Yes, they do.”

Xiao Jiang Tang’s beautiful eyes slowly closed, and she murmured in her sleep, “That’s so nice…”
