Chapter 8 What Do You Like About Me?

  The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and finally Shangguan Yi coughed: "It's all over, what's the point of bringing it up again?"

  With 100,000 cash in hand, he let out a soft sigh: "Now that I have this money, the shop's affairs are settled. In the next two days, I'll take a look around to see if there's a suitable storefront nearby and try to open the shop this month."

  One sentence completely broke the awkward atmosphere.

  "Dry dad......" The little loli echoed and asked: "What kind of store do you want to open?"

  "Haha……" With the capital, Shangguan Yi also relaxed and smiled: "Open a decoration shop for advertisements, it's for people to make advertisement boards, advertisement light boxes, rain covers, and aluminum alloy doors and windows."

  "What? Can Dry Dad do these things?" Little Loli was surprised.

  Shangguan Nengren also spoke up: "I don't know! Your adoptive father was a skilled worker in the factory, proficient in both metalworking and welding, and could even do carpentry work. During holidays, he would take on some private jobs, and had done quite a few of those."

  "You don't have to brag about your dad anymore." Xiang Guan chuckled, feeling a little proud in his heart. Not to mention anything else, just talking about work, let alone advertising and decoration, even building a house was not easy for him. The north house of their old home was built by himself back then.

  Although it collapsed two years later...

  "Dry dad, it would be great if you could do this kind of work." Little Loli said excitedly: "My second uncle just bought a store and wants to open a flower shop. He's looking for someone to make lamp box signs and install rain covers. Dry dad, if you can do it, I'll bring the job over. My second uncle loves me the most, and if I ask him, he'll definitely agree."

  "Really?" Not only was Shang Guanyi surprised, but also Li Xinhong and Shang Guanneng were equally astonished. They hadn't expected that before the store even opened, they already had a customer!

  Shangguan Yi hastily patted his chest: "Yilan, don't worry, it's just installing a sign and rain cover! Leave it to me, I'll go buy the materials later, this job can be done in one day."

  "Hehe, then Daddy will give you an 80% discount." Little Loli giggled.

  Shangguan Yi burst out laughing: "Don't worry, I'll just earn some labor costs. As your goddaughter's job, I must give her enough face."

  "Thanks, Uncle." Little Loli felt proud and giggled: "Then I'll call Second Uncle now and ask him when he's going to let us move in."

  "Alright, I'll get you the phone," said Shang Guan Yi.

  "It's okay." The little loli smiled and waved her hand, pulling out a white Apple phone from her pocket...

  The whole Shangguan family of three was stunned.

  Little... little loli actually uses iPhone 4S? This makes the half-life-lived Shangguan Yi and Li Xinhong feel unbearable!

  The officer is a bit better, touches the Samsung i9103 in his pocket, wipes the sweat from his forehead: it's just a matter of half the money, not much, yeah, not much.

  Little Loli quickly dialed the phone: "Second Uncle, it's me! Hehe... I miss you too, yeah... yeah... I'll definitely go, hehe... Second Uncle, I want to tell you something! ... What? Serious stuff? It's like this, my godfather...

  Five minutes later, Little Loli ended the call and gave Director Wang a victorious gesture, sweetly saying: "Godfather, it's settled. My second uncle wants you to go take a look at the new store this afternoon, we'll discuss the details then."

  Shangguan Yi let out a sigh of relief and laughed: "No problem." He turned his head to check the time, it was just 10 o'clock.

  Shangguan Yi stood up and said, "I'll go take a look at the nearby shops and buy some tools on the way back. Yilan, you don't have to leave, your big brother will cook lunch, and in the afternoon, he'll take Dandan over there to take a look."

  Xiao Loli nodded slightly, and Li Xinhong said: "I'll go with you too! It just so happens that our son bought an electric tricycle, which can also be used to bring back whatever we buy."

  Shangguan Yi thought for a moment, nodded, and turned his head to ask Shangguan Neng: "Son, where are the car keys?"

  Shangguan Nengren took the car key out of his pocket and handed it to Li Xinhong: "Mom, the lock eye on the car door is in the middle of the front of the car. The battery power isn't too big, I've run a short distance again, you and Dad can drive together for at most thirty kilometers, don't go too far!"

  Li Xinhong smiled and said: "Good, actually thirty kilometers is not short either."

  Shangguan Yi nodded: "Let's go!" After a pause, he smiled at Xiaoluoli and said: "Yilan, let your big brother accompany you! If you're bored, go to Dad's study, there's a computer."

  Shangguan Ruo: "......"

  Little loli nodded: "Foster father, foster mother, you go busy! With big brother accompanying me is enough."

  Shangguan Yi and Li Xinhong glanced at Shangguan Nengren, then looked at the little loli, exchanged a knowing smile, made some slight adjustments, and left the house together.

  Although Xiaolong is still young, one year younger than the little sister of Shangguan Neng's uncle's family, they can see that Xiaolong's feelings for their son are genuine. Although it's unclear what will happen in the future, having another potential daughter-in-law candidate is not bad at all. Especially since Xiaolong casually has an iPhone 4S, it shows that her family conditions are very good. Xiaolong herself is also reasonable and gentle, yet lovely, and does household chores extremely well, simply a perfect daughter-in-law candidate.

  If in the future I can really follow my son, it will not only be a blessing for my son, but also for the whole family. Unfortunately, Xiaoluo is still too young, and who knows what changes will happen in a few years? As parents, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.

  The couple went out, and Officer Neng put Xiaoluli's shoes on the coffee table, laughing: "You sit first, I'll go get some tools."

  "Hmm." Being able to be alone with Officer Nangong, Xiaoluo was over the moon, her face flushed: Now there's only my brother and me left at home, I don't know... Ah! How embarrassing.

  Although the girl's feelings are always poetic, girls also have thoughts of love, but a 13-year-old little loli is thinking about it so intensely, is this society 'progressing'? Or are girls developing too fast?

  Shangguan quickly brought over a hammer and nails, as well as a piece of sandpaper, and sat down beside Xiaoluo, smiling: "It'll be done soon. If you get bored, you can watch TV or use the computer in your godfather's room."

  Talking about computers, Shang Guan's heart is bleeding: That's Lao Zi's computer AHHHHH!!!!!

  The little loli shook her head and leaned towards the upper official, her face slightly red as she sweetly smiled: "With big brother here, I won't be bored."

  "Hmm...cough!" Shangguan Neng's face also turned a bit red, and he picked up the sandpaper to polish the joint between the heel and sole of the shoe. After a moment of silence, Shangguan Neng asked: "Yilan, can I ask you something?"

  The little loli was watching with great interest as Shangguan Neng worked, and upon hearing this, she looked up at his face, nodded lightly: "Big brother, what do you want to ask?"

  "Hmm..." Officer Nengren put down the sandpaper and shoe heel, picked up 502 glue, his hands didn't stop working, and asked: "How can you like me? We've known each other for such a short time, I'm not handsome, my family doesn't have much money, no matter how hard I think, I just can't figure out what it is about me that you like?"

  "Big brother originally wanted to ask this......" Little Loli's face was flushed, and she thought seriously for a long time. Until Shangguan Nengren finished wiping his shoes clean, he raised his head, looked at Shangguan Nengren's face, and said softly: "Big brother, does liking someone need a reason?"

  "Huh...?" Officer Nang's forehead was beaded with sweat: "Isn't it needed?"

  "Hehe, need it?"

  "Isn't it needed?"

  "Do you need it?"

  "Hmm... I think it's necessary." Shang Guan Nian didn't want to discuss the Moonlight Treasure Box with the little loli, so he turned his head to look at her, his eyes very serious: "No matter who it is, when a girl likes someone, there's always a reason. For example, maybe she likes a handsome guy, or likes that he's rich, or likes that he has power... or even if it's something weird like liking chubby guys or strong guys... in the end, there's always a reason. But I just can't figure out what you like about me? After all, when you started liking me, I hadn't shown any good qualities yet. Your liking me is a bit inexplicable, and even I'm a bit uneasy."

  This remark made Little Loli's smile even more intense and radiant, as if it was about to bloom into a flower.

  "Big brother, actually I like many things about you, maybe you haven't noticed, the charm that you unintentionally reveal is really dazzling. Although I didn't fall in love with you at first sight, but at least after our first meeting that day, I really fell in love with you."

  "Huh......" Officer Nang Er was stunned.

  "Hehe, isn't it unbelievable?" Little Lori scratched her face with some shyness, revealing a sweet smile.

  "It's not that I'm unbelievable, it's a fairy tale." Shangguan Nengren returned the words of Xiaoluo in the antique market to her, shaking his head: "I really didn't realize I had any charm? Especially that day I even hit your classmate's sister, don't you think I'm very violent?"

  "How could that be!" Little Lori shook her head: "That day, big brother beat up sister was a justified act. If it wasn't for big brother, sister would have become even more out of control and crazy. Big brother stopped the situation from getting worse, so big brother is a hero."

  Shangguan Neng rubbed his head in embarrassment, never expecting that he would end up hitting someone and becoming a hero. Xiao Luoli's gaze was indeed different from others.

  Looking at Shang Guan Neng Ren, Little Loli smiled sweetly and hugged his arm, resting her head on his shoulder. Her face was as lovely as a red apple: "Big brother, I like you, of course not without reason, but there are too many reasons, and for the time being, I don't know where to start?"

  The little loli said so, but it made Shangguan Nian'er feel a bit embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, or else we'll really have to get married."

  "Isn't this good?" Little Loli turned her head to look at Shang Guan Neng Ren, her face red with thick shyness and seriousness: "Big brother, I'm not a casual girl, if I like someone, I'll like them forever. Although you say I'm still young and the future is uncertain, I also know you're doing this for my own good, but there's something that's been stuck in my heart that I haven't said, now I want to tell you."

  Shangguan Neng's palms were sweating, wondering what shocking and unconventional words Little Loli would say.

  Four eyes met, and the bright eyes of the little loli showed unspoken feelings: "Big brother, if before I'm 20 years old, you really like another girl and marry her, I'll cry a lot, then use my most beautiful smile to bless you both. After that, I'll spend ten years forgetting this feeling. When I'm 30, I'll find an excellent man to marry. At that time, I hope big brother can also bless me... If everything develops to this stage, I'll forever treat you as a brother, forever."
