Chapter 11 The Truth Comes Out (Extra updates 9 and 10 for Golden Meng, the number one ink fan)_3

Meng Xin Zhi couldn't help but both cry and laugh when Zong Yi teased her, pulling Zong Yi to her side: "Xiaoyi, are you taking chatting as a game of Truth or Dare?"

"Of course not! It's my sister here, I don't want to be at a disadvantage!" Zong Yi playfully made a face.

The way she spoke was almost song-like.

She had the demeanor of a triumphant victor.

Meng Xin Zhi understood Zong Yi's nature.

This was a cute little girl who wouldn't rest until she achieved her goal.

Zong Yi wasn't unreasonable, she just had her own set of logic.

"Xiaoyi really wants to hear this brother play the erhu, doesn't she?" Meng Xin Zhi asked gently.

"Yeah." Zong Yi nodded vigorously.

"Whether it's playing the erhu or dancing, you need the right mindset. If brother has something on his mind, he won't be able to fully immerse himself in playing the music. In that case, even if Xiaoyi listens, she might not be able to enjoy it as much as before, right?"

Meng Xin Zhi tried to persuade Zong Yi using Zong Yi's own logic.

"Sister makes sense!"

This time, Meng Xin Zhi succeeded quite quickly.

It wasn't nearly as difficult as explaining Mona Lisa.

"Then, does Xiaoyi want to listen to just any performance, or does she want to hear the best state?" Meng Xin Zhi continued to guide her.

"Of course, the best state."

"Then Xiaoyi should stay here quietly, wait for daddy and brother to finish their chat, okay?"

"And what about you, sister?"

"Sister will go upstairs to take a shower first."

Zong Yi thought for a moment: "Alright, I'll listen to sister. But you have to come back quickly after your shower."

Meng Xin Zhi gently patted Zong Yi's head.

She greeted everyone and prepared to go upstairs.

Cheng Nuo stood up and followed Meng Xin Zhi's direction.

After catching up, she took Meng Xin Zhi's hand, and said, "Daxin, you've always talked about visiting your room, but I've never had the chance. Is it convenient today?"

"It's convenient." Meng Xin Zhi glanced at her arm being held by Cheng Nuo and said apologetically, "Sister Cheng Nuo, I'm all sweaty from just dancing."

"Never mind. Daxin is so beautiful, even her sweat must smell sweet."

Cheng Nuo was clearly being flattering.

No one present found this inappropriate.

In the presence of absolute beauty, the minds of ordinary folks tend to be unreasonable.

...

Three men and a little girl were seated around a fishing table.

Xuan Shi really wanted to follow Cheng Nuo.

Because he was a bit socially anxious.

But the sister had already said she was going upstairs to shower.

If he, a guy, followed her, he would likely be deemed a pervert and socially die on the spot.

Even if his sister and father didn't beat him to death, it would make Cheng Nuo lose face.

Caught between social anxiety and dying socially, Xuan Shi chose to cope with social anxiety.

Fortunately, the ever-friendly Zong Yi was there.

There wasn't any awkward atmosphere at the scene.

"Big Brother Shi, hi there." Zong Yi waved at Xuan Shi from across the table: "I've heard you're allergic to coffee~"

Her tone was playful and her expression adorable.

"Yeah, I've been allergic for eight years." Xuan Shi answered more formally, "But I've gotten over it now."

"Ayi, how come you know even his coffee allergy?" Zong Ji asked, puzzled.

"Of course, I not only know Big Brother Shi's coffee allergy, I also know how it was cured!" Zong Yi was beaming with pride.

"Oh? Now, that's something you have to share with daddy." Zong Ji asked with interest.

"Daddy, what kind of memory do you have? Sister Cheng Nuo has written about it in her stories. I even showed it to you!" Zong Yi was slightly annoyed.

How could daddy be so inattentive to little Ayi's matters?

"Ah..." Zong Ji belatedly said, "There was such a thing."

When it came to the first person invited to join the studio,

Zong Yi was interested in the story.

Zong Ji was concerned about what kind of person would come.

He had spent ten days in Cheng Nuo's coffee shop in the city center before he was sure it was unlikely that such a top-notch barista would join Aurora's Intention with any other purpose in mind.

Having waited a long time, Nie Guangyi couldn't wait for the topic he cared about and had to ask: "Brother Zong Ji, why did you decide to build the studio this way?"

Nie Guangyi was pleased with himself.

He was too polite for his own good.

While others greeted his younger brother, he addressed them as 'big brother.'

Hearing Nie Guangyi describe himself this way, Zong Yi went with the wind and directly addressed him differently: "Uncle Yi, if my dad answers your question, will you go back on your word?"

Nie Guangyi didn't mind being called 'uncle.'

At least for now, he felt that way.

"You ask your Big Brother Shi." Nie Guangyi pointed to Xuan Shi and said, "He knows better than anyone if I'm a man of my word."

He was quite in high spirits at the moment.
