Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lan Xiu's Mother
As for how to contact Rong Lan, this is a problem, it is definitely not possible to call Rong's house, Lin Anran thought about it, and decided to call the school during the lunch break, so that he could say a few words to the child.
After breakfast, Lin Anran began to wait for noon, sitting on the sofa and not thinking about watching TV, from time to time to look at the floor clock on the side.
Lan Xiu was accompanying her, and when he saw her like this, he said, "Otherwise, you can call now, just a phone call, and you won't delay anything." ”
Lin Anran replied without thinking about it: "That's not good, I've seen Lan Lan's class schedule, it's the main class in the morning, and now I'm going to delay his class." ”
"You even look at this?"
Lin Anran nodded: "What, is there something wrong?"
Lan Xiu looked at her natural expression and felt very envious, and said: "My mother probably only knows what school I went to, she spends more time on dressing up, for when, what kind of clothes to wear, what kind of perfume to use, what jewelry to match, the pursuit is almost harsh, she wants herself to look flawless at all times, and my sister and I are the responsibility of nannies and housekeepers." ”
Lin Anran didn't hear any sadness in his words, just a very plain narrative, and said: "Your mother must be a great beauty, just look at you." ”
Lan Xiu didn't expect her to say this, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled and nodded: "Well, she is very beautiful." Then he looked at Lin Anran with those dark blue eyes like the night sky, and said, "I hope I have the opportunity to let you meet her, I think she will definitely like you." ”
Lin Anran only felt that his scalp was numb when he saw it, so he could only laugh dryly, which was considered to be over.
Lan Xiu said, "Before I returned to China, I told her about you. ”
Lin Anran was frightened: "She...... She didn't say anything, and she just let you go?"
Lan Xiu smiled and bent his eyes: "She is a very open person in terms of feelings, just look at her relationship with my father." He suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Do you want to see pictures of me when I was a child?"
Lin Anran couldn't react all of a sudden, and the topic changed too quickly.
Lan Xiu thought she wasn't interested, and said cautiously, "I was quite cute when I was a child, do you want to see it?"
Lin Anran was a little overwhelmed by his appearance, and she didn't have anything to lose when she looked at the photo, so she nodded.
Lan Xiu saw her nodding, his eyes lit up a little, he stood up and walked upstairs quickly, and after a while, he came back with a thick photo album in his hand.
When Lin Anran took the album from his hand, he only felt that his hand was sinking and he almost didn't hold it.
The album is very exquisitely made, and the back cover of the black cowhide is embossed with silver with a few floral letters, but it can be seen from the edge that this album should be some years old, although it is well preserved, but it is inevitable that there is some wear and tear.
Lin Anran opened the album under Lan Xiu's expectant gaze.
The first photo, probably when Lan Xiu was born, there was a paragraph written in French below, Lin Anran looked at it, there were numbers on it, it should be Lan Xiu's date of birth, and she couldn't understand the rest.
Lan Xiu watched her fingertips fall on those two lines of words, and explained on the side: "What that sentence means is that my child was born today. ”
Lin Anran looked up at him: "Isn't there two sentences, what does the next sentence mean? Or are these two paragraphs just one sentence?"
Lan Xiu coughed lightly, as if he was a little embarrassed: "What's more, this kid is much uglier than he imagined." ”
Lin Anran couldn't hold back and laughed, this is not the first time she has seen a photo of a newborn child, she knows that a newborn child will definitely not be too good-looking, although Xiao Lan Xiu in the photo is not as beautiful as he is now, he looks like a superb beautiful boy, but compared with ordinary newborn children, he is already very good-looking, I didn't expect his mother to think he was ugly.
Lan Xiu saw her smile, and then smiled helplessly, and said, "Later, my mother confessed to me that if I hadn't slowly become cute in the future, she would have considered giving me to someone else." ”
Lin Anran was about to flip through the photo album: "She's joking, right?"
Lan Xiu sighed: "From what I know about her, I think she is telling the truth. ”
Lin Anran said: "I suddenly thought of a person. ”
"Who?"
"Han Mi. Lin Anran explained: "I think in this regard, the two of them are very similar. ”
Lan Xiu blinked, thinking that what she said made sense, and then said, "Han Mi must not want to hear me say that she is like my mother. ”
Lin Anran smiled and flipped the photo album down a page, in the next photo, Lan Xiu looked much cuter than the first one when he was a child, Lan Xiu said: "This is a photo of the full moon." ”
Lin Anran replied casually: "At this time, your mother should be very glad that she didn't give you away at that time." ”
When Lan Xiu heard this, he said, "Well, I think she should have just thought that I still had hope and could observe for a while. ”
Lin Anran then looked down, there were not many photos of Lan Xiu before he turned one, only four or five, after the first year old, his mother probably felt that this son's appearance met her own aesthetic standards, and began to take pictures of him frantically, this situation did not gradually converge until Lan Xiu was three years old, and the album returned to four or five photos recorded every year.
Lin Anran slowly flipped through the photos, and Lan Xiu explained the meaning of the French left on the side of the photo, and time passed quite quickly.
Originally, when Lin Anran was looking at the photos after the first birthday, he thought that there were only photos of that period behind this album, but after reading it, he found that it was Lan Xiu's mother who was enthusiastic about taking pictures for a while, and turned it to the end, Lin Anran's hand paused, and asked, "This is your sister?"
Lan Xiu glanced at it and said, "No, it's me." ”
Lin Anran glanced at the eight or nine-year-old child wearing a princess dress in the photo, and then looked at Lan Xiu in front of him, he really couldn't hold back, and smiled vigorously with the album.
Lan Xiu wasn't angry, just looked at her quietly and smiled.
Lin Anran was a little embarrassed by him, and quickly restrained himself for a while before he stopped laughing and said, "You didn't even resist?" I thought that such a thing as dressing my son in women's clothes could only be done when he was not yet gender conscious. ”
When she was filming before, she met many actors who were married and had children, and watched a lot of photos of them wearing skirts for their sons, and at the end of the day, she would sigh with emotion: "Alas, I was cute when I was a child, but I refused to wear it when I was older." ”
Lan Xiu said: "She was thinking about whether to add a sister to me. ”
Lin Anran looked at him suspiciously, and Lan Xiu explained: "She was afraid that her son would be good-looking, and her daughter would not be good-looking, so let me put on a skirt and try it, if she was beautiful, she would give birth to a daughter, if she was not beautiful, then she would still not give birth." ”
"And then you're wearing it?"
Lan Xiu nodded: "Although I think about it now, she may have a better chance of tricking me, but then she did give birth to a younger sister, so I don't have much to lose." ”
Lin Anran pointed to the photo and said, "Left a black history." ”
Lan Xiu smiled indifferently: "It can be regarded as an interesting memory." ”
"What do the words under this picture mean?"
Lan Xiu said helplessly: "It means my lovely daughter." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Anran lowered his head and laughed again, Lan Xiu looked at her slightly trembling shoulders with a smile, and the corners of his lips curled.
Lin Anran finished laughing easily, and then thought of one thing and asked, "Why didn't you see a photo of your mother?" I thought there would be a photo of a mother and son, but I didn't even notice it after reading it. ”
Lan Xiu said: "She wants to look like a girl forever, so she doesn't want to stay with me to remind her that she is already a mother's ornament to take pictures, even if I later become in line with her aesthetic standards, she has not changed this idea." ”
Lin Anran looked at him in disbelief: "Haven't you taken a group photo?"
"Nope. ”
Lin Anran didn't know what to say now, so he could only tell himself that the woman who could give birth to a son like Lan Xiu was definitely not an ordinary woman, so he became curious about Lan Xiu's mother and asked, "Is there a photo of your mother?" ”
Lan Xiu shook his head, but after seeing Lin Anran's disappointed expression, he thought about it and asked her, "Do you want to see it?"
Lin Anran said: "It's a little curious. ”
Lan Xiu stood up and motioned for Lin Anran to follow him upstairs, and the two went upstairs together to the computer in the study, Lan Xiu turned on the computer and searched for the news of the spring and summer fashion week in September and October this year.
A large number of celebrities and models suddenly popped up on the website, and Lan Xiu clicked on a few photo collections of Paris Fashion Week, looked through them, pointed to the computer screen and said, "Look, this is my mother." ”
Lin Anran had been looking at the computer screen, and when he saw the beauty that Lan Xiu was pointing at, he suddenly became less calm, and said, "She looks less than thirty......
Lan Xiu's mother is really a big beauty, her skin is white and seems to glow, her long pale blonde hair is loosely pulled up, and a few strands of hair hang down on both sides of her cheeks, looking lazy and feminine, and the color of her eyes is also blue, but it is lighter than Lan Xiu's pupil color, and a clear feeling can be seen from the photo.
She sat in the audience, but she still attracted the attention of the photographer, and took many pictures of her in a row.
When Lan Xiu heard Lin Anran's words, he smiled and said, "Actually, she is almost forty, but if you say that she looks like she is eighteen or nine years old, she will definitely be happier." ”
In fact, just looking at his mother's appearance, although it is a bit exaggerated to say that she is eighteen or nineteen years old, if Lin Anran hadn't seen the strong femininity revealed by her gestures, it is estimated that she would have said that she was only in her early twenties, not less than thirty.
