Chapter 236 Heart-shaped Braids
"Your hair is all messy from sleeping. Come here, let me comb it for you."

With about half an hour to go, Lu Nanting gently patted her shoulder and whispered a reminder.

Gu Lanxi obediently turned around, her back to her, her eyes still fixed on the vocabulary book.

Lu Nanting stood up, bent down and took out a comb and hair tie from his bag, and started humming a song as he busied himself with them.

Gu Lanxi listened to him humming a song, closed her book, and looked up at him: "Why are you so happy?"

It seems like you rarely see him unhappy.

"Because I'm a sunny and cheerful guy."

Lu Nanting casually sang a line that made Gu Lanxi inexplicably want to laugh.

"Okay, you sunny and cheerful boy, why don't you sit down? I feel tired just looking at you standing like that, all bent over."

Gu Lanxi leaned back in her chair and sat directly on the soft carpet, patting the seat as she called to him.

"I'm not tired. The floor is dirty, you can sit down!"

"It's okay, you're too big and you're blocking the light. What if we can't see clearly? Hurry up!"

Lu Nanting had no choice but to sit down.

"Then sit on the back of my feet!"

"As if your shoes are spotless."

"The instep is always cleaner than the sole!"

"Hurry up, or we'll be there soon."

Gu Lanxi ignored him and sat down on the ground.

"Did you have any... when you were a child?"

While combing her hair, Lu Nanting started a conversation, but after saying half a sentence, he realized that the topic was inappropriate and quickly shut his mouth.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

Despite saying that, seeing that she was unhappy, he still explained: "It's just that when Jia Ning was little, she especially liked to sit on adults' laps and have people lift her legs and sway her back and forth."

Don't all kids love rocking horse rides?

“My second brother bought her a lot of rocking cars, and he put one or two in almost every place we go. But she doesn’t like them anymore after riding them a few times. She only likes to play with adults. I was home for Chinese New Year for a while and rocked her for three days in a row. When I couldn’t rock her anymore, I took a job and ran away.”

Gu Lanxi felt both envious and heartbroken as she listened. She sighed softly and said regretfully, "It sounds interesting, but these are just children's games. I'm all grown up now, you can't shake me anymore, big brother!"

"Want to give it a try? I have plenty of experience!"

"No, my knees are very fragile."

Gu Lanxi refused without hesitation.

But she still got up from the ground, patted his legs, and sat on the back of his feet after he put his feet together.

"Are you going to make up for everything I didn't have when I was a child?"

"Do your best!"

"So that's why you went to learn how to braid hair?"

When she was little, no one braided her hair, and she especially envied other little girls who had princess dresses, pretty hairstyles, and cute hair clips and headbands. After school, they could hold their mothers' hands, sing and dance, and happily go home.

Her classmate pulled her little pigtail, and she cried when she got home. Instead of comforting her, her grandma took a rusty pair of scissors and gave her a badly chopped haircut.

As she grew older, she convinced herself that those fancy things weren't good, and that being natural and unpretentious was true beauty.

So even if she had the means, she rarely styled her hair, and basically kept it straight and black all year round.

Previously, she thought Lu Nanting was just bored and didn't have any particular hobbies, so he learned these things from the stylist. But now, hearing him mention Jia Ning, she suddenly realized this.

Then I couldn't help but want to cry.

Seeing that her voice sounded off as she spoke, Lu Nanting quickly denied it, sticking out his neck:

"What kind of love-struck nonsense is this? Don't overthink it. I'm just a bit vain, yes, extremely vain. I just want you to look beautiful every day. All the men in the world are jealous of me, but they can't get rid of me. That feeling, tsk~"

Gu Lanxi was amused by him and didn't press him to admit it. Holding back the tears welling up in her eyes, she asked him softly, "Do you know how to braid heart-shaped hair?"

What kind of heart-shaped braids?

Gu Lanxi had a photographic memory. The hairstyle that had fueled her greatest envy since childhood was the one her aunt had styled for her cousin, Gu Yongxin, on her tenth birthday. That day, the house was packed with guests. Gu Yongxin, wearing a pink tutu adorned with crystals, a diamond-studded crown, and sparkling princess shoes, stood in the room, pointing to the mountain of gifts piled in the corner, and pouting at her parents, her little face flushed, repeatedly saying how happy she was…

She only stood at the door with her grandmother for a moment before her grandmother took her home.

Grandma felt ashamed of her, staring at her without blinking, making her feel so embarrassed that she came back without even eating.

But she was only five years old that year.

As the plane flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it occasionally passes over cities and can see lights that look like stars.

In the past, no matter how late it was, she would always go home and turn to the light that belonged only to her.

She thought that by doing that, she would have a home.

But after marrying Lu Nanting, she no longer felt anxious even if she was out wandering around late at night.

On her birthday, when Lu Nanting confessed his feelings to her, she responded, "From now on, wherever you are, that will be my home."

As time goes by, the value of this statement continues to rise.

"Twin ponytails, with bows, and hearts..."

Gu Lanxi was talking, but she couldn't explain it clearly, so she took out a handkerchief and drew on it for him.

"I've never styled my hair like this before, let me see..."

After looking at the diagram, Lu Nanting couldn't help but frown: "You need to tie the heart-shaped tip up there. You need to put a hair clip here to cover it up to make it look better. Also, these two are very thin, so the rubber bands need to be the thin kind so they won't be noticeable."

They weren't wearing hair clips at the moment, only rubber bands, and even those rubber bands weren't the thin kind.

Lu Nanting said it was a bit difficult.

When he mentioned it, Gu Lanxi also remembered the details from back then; Sister Yongxin did indeed wear a hair clip.

The rubies and diamonds are set like little flowers; they are especially beautiful.

Gu Lanxi was a little embarrassed.

A person in their twenties wants the hairstyle of a ten-year-old girl.

He quickly put the tissue away.

"No need for that then. Just hurry up and get a simple and elegant hairstyle!"

"Ah."

Lu Nanting remained silent and tied her hair into two crossed pigtails.

The back of the head is slightly fluffy, simple yet playful.

After he put the comb away, Gu Lanxi sat back down, still a little dazed.

Still thinking about your heart-shaped bow hairstyle?

Gu Lanxi glared at him but ignored him.

After a long while, she asked him in a low voice, "When I get crazy, I'm even crazier than you. Afterwards, I'll blame everything on you. Aren't you angry?"

Still honestly reflecting on himself...

It made her conscience hurt.

"Oh, I can't help it, I like it. You could do even better..."

"Shut up! It's all your fault for flirting with me so much that I couldn't resist! It's all your fault!"

"Yes, it's all my fault. Fasten your seatbelt, we're about to land."

As the plane began its descent, all sorts of noises increased.

Lu Nanting was holding Gu Lanxi's hand when he suddenly heard her say something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

When the plane came to a complete stop, she refused to repeat herself, even if it meant death.

So why did Xiao Lu specifically learn to braid hair?

A. My wife's hair is so beautiful, it would be a shame not to braid it.

B. My wife had a very pitiful childhood, so I'm trying my best to make up for her childhood regrets.

C. Vanity; he won't stop until he makes his wife look beautiful!
D. If you have too much free time, learn a skill randomly to broaden your employment opportunities.
