Part 3
This item had been noticed by quite a few handicraft uploaders today. Some even said they would replicate it in a day and had already started livestreaming.
But the difficulty was high, and the probability of failure was also high.
The copper flowers Jiang Shulu made also had silver decorations, which Tang Mian found very novel, constantly wanting to touch them.
Jiang Shulu held the child’s hand: “Be careful.”
“The edges can easily cut your hand, and it will hurt then.”
Xiao Mie’s other hand, however, was placed on Jiang Shulu’s hand, asking with concern: “Then did Daddy Shulu get hurt when making this?”
Over there, Tang Yue, who was being interrogated about various future plans, wished he could prick up his ears to listen.
Then he was turned back by Liu Xichao: “Let’s chat about ours. You sleep with the Captain at night anyway; will you die if you look at him a little less right now?”
Tang Yue: …
“So mean.”
“I love this!! Atmosphere! Group variety show feel!”
“Someone online said the investor of this variety show is President Liang of Kunyu. Help, so I can understand why it turned into a romance show.”
“Everything is to poach the wealthy son-in-law hhh.”
The little kid had curly hair and wore a raglan sweater with a kitten pattern on the cuff. It was obviously clothes Tang Yue had bought.
Because Tang Yue also had these quirky sweaters.
Jiang Shulu couldn’t wait to visit the old home where Tang Yue and Tang Mian lived.
Jiang Shulu: “I did get cut when I first started making them.”
Yao Xuanyu also liked this bouquet of copper flowers very much. In his eyes, Jiang Shulu was amazing at everything. The bamboo flower from the first stop had the child talking about it for a long time.
Yao Xuanyu: “That must have hurt a lot. What did Uncle model it after in the beginning?”
Tang Mian hadn’t seen copper flowers either, but he had heard Tang Yue mention them.
When Tang Yue occasionally took him out to pick wildflowers and arrange them back home, he would talk about the past.
When Tang Mian asked about his grandparents, Tang Yue would fall silent for a while, then pick up his child and say they had a very good relationship.
After a while, he would say to Tang Mian: “This is Daddy’s secret. Can Xiao Mie not tell Auntie Yi?”
For Tang Mian, since he became conscious, the world had been Tang Yue. Nothing was more important than Tang Yue.
Children are naturally precocious. Logic that Tang Yue couldn’t straighten out himself sounded full of holes to Tang Mian.
For example, once when Liang Yi came to find Tang Yue, Tang Mian heard the adults talking about the past.
His dad had been in a car accident before, so he didn’t remember. He didn’t join the conversation much and was comforting Aunt Liang Yi.
But Daddy clearly remembered Grandfather and Grandmother.
Over time, Tang Yue’s loopholes were enough for Tang Mian to string the facts together—
His dad seemed not to be from this world.
Although Tang Yue didn’t mention copper flowers often, whenever he did, his expression made Tang Mian feel sad.
It was like when Tang Mian caught tadpoles by the stream in summer but had to let them go.
Tang Yue also released a fish, consoling himself that the empty feeling was normal.
Tang Mian had asked Tang Yue: “Daddy, what do copper flowers look like? Are they very pretty? Do they glow?”
The child’s imagination was unconstrained, thinking this kind of flower must be unique, maybe even blowing bubbles or something.
Tang Yue was also amused by Tang Mian’s description, thinking that should be a Peashooter.
But his drawing skills were truly ugly, and his handcrafting ability was terrible. He couldn’t find the copper flowers from his memory online either, so he could only say listlessly: “Anyway, if Xiao Mie saw them, he would definitely think they were beautiful.”
“Not just copper sheets, but also aluminum sheets. They look cheap, but to Daddy, they are especially precious.”
Tang Mian had originally thought that when he grew up a bit more, maybe he could find copper and aluminum sheets to make a bouquet of flowers his dad liked to give to him.
But the other dad was faster. In the video Uncle Yao showed him, the cabinet full of copper flowers in Jiang Shulu’s study was enough to move Tang Mian.
Tang Mian felt that Tang Yue’s judgment was wrong. The fish he let go might have belonged to him all along and didn’t need to be deliberately released.
Jiang Shulu was still telling Yao Xuanyu how to make copper flowers.
The man was handsome and had a superior physique, perfectly fitting the image of an adult a child would look up to. Plus, his gentle voice made people want to ask more.
Jiang Shulu: “I looked at a lot of pictures too, but it has to be something your Uncle Xiao Yue likes. I don’t know exactly what the copper flowers in his heart look like.”
Yao Xuanyu shouted “Uncle Tang Yue” loudly.
Over there, Tang Yue, who had even taken out a demo of a new song, was startled. He heard Yao Xuanyu ask: “Uncle Jiang said the flowers he made might not be what you like. Is that true?”
Tang Mian: “No way! My dad definitely loves them super much, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought them over to show off.”
Tang Yue: …
“Tang Mian, you really love exposing your dad’s little thoughts.”
“Tang Yue showed them for us to see, right!!”
“The scheming youngest member—”
“Show off your love, I curse you to be together for a lifetime and never be reborn.”
“Laughing to death, indeed can’t be reborn (reincarnated/separated)!!”
Liu Xichao was about to burst out laughing. He hooked his arm around Tang Yue’s neck and asked, “Really?”
Tang Yue’s face flushed red: “I just wanted Xiao Mie to see. It wasn’t showing off.”
Tang Mian: “Okay, you weren’t showing off.”
Saying this was equivalent to saying nothing. Tang Yue snorted and went directly over to pick up Tang Mian: “Say that again and I’ll kiss you to death!”
Tang Mian resisted strongly, pushing away Tang Yue’s approaching face. Unfortunately, resistance was futile.
Even if his brain worked fast, his body was that of a five-year-old child. How could he withstand Tang Yue, who was wrapped in shyness? He was kissed with loud smacking sounds, begging for mercy: “Daddy, stop kissing me! I’m five years old! No need for kisses!”
Tang Yue: “No!”
Yao Xuanyu simply couldn’t bear to look. He turned his head and glanced at the man sitting on the side. The man stared at the adult and child playing, smiling brilliantly. Compared to the first time they met, he seemed even gentler.
Yao Xuanyu tugged at the corner of Jiang Shulu’s clothes and asked: “Uncle Jiang, are you and Uncle Tang Yue going to get married?”
Over there, Tang Yue stopped kissing his child.
Tang Mian breathed a sigh of relief but his face was red, subconsciously looking at Jiang Shulu.
Liu Xichao and Yao Lixin joined in the fun on the spot, hooting and hollering, becoming the perfect mouthpieces for the audience.
Liu Xichao: “I want to be the best man!”
Yao Lixin: “Me too.”
Liu Xichao: “You’re already married, why be a best man?”
Yao Lixin: “Does the law say married men can’t be best men!! And my relationship with my wife couldn’t be better. Are you jealous?!”
Liu Xichao laughed angrily: “What am I jealous of?”
Yao Lixin: “Jealous that I got married earliest!”
“They really feel like they haven’t changed a bit when they get together.”
“Tang Yue’s face is so red.”
“Speaking of which, Yao Lixin didn’t hold a public wedding, did he?”
“I’m already starting to look forward to the wedding. Can it be livestreamed too?”
Jiang Shulu: “Not yet.”
Tang Yue: “Wait for Second Brother to hold a wedding again, right?”
Yao Lixin let out an “Ah.”
Liu Xichao: “Yeah, Tang Yue didn’t attend, and the Captain didn’t make it in time either, right?”
Yao Lixin: “I have to hold it again for them?”
Liu Xichao: “Such a low-key wedding isn’t your style at all.”
Xiao Mie, held by Tang Yue, asked Tang Yue: “Daddy, I haven’t attended a wedding yet.”
Tang Yue: “Whose wedding do you want to attend?”
Tang Mian asked Yao Xuanyu: “Brother Xuanyu, did you go to Uncle Yao’s wedding?”
