Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 40 - 39: Forbidden Words Cannot Be Spoken

No way, Gong Ruini and the others had their mouths wide open.

Cai Meina and Gong Tao were even more shocked, all casting various looks of astonishment at Zhao Xuran.

"How’s it?" Zhao Xuran actually felt a long sigh of relief inside, he had been really worried before, worried that he would embarrass himself. Thankfully, the result was pretty good.

Gong Ruini kept looking at herself in the mirror, "Not bad."

Though it’s still a bit far from her expectations, like the braids being a bit thick, but there were indeed ten of them.

Oh, if she had known this guy was so skilled, Gong Ruini swears she would have asked, "Buddy, braid twenty little braids for me."

Gong Ruini glanced at the waiting Zhao Xuran, always feeling variously displeased, this guy is quite deceitful, he can even do women’s work.

Could it be that this guy has always been braiding people’s hair? As for whom, other than Aunt Zhan, it couldn’t possibly be anyone else.

Gong Ruini was really curious if Zhao Xuran would unlock all those skill points in the future, would he learn stitching or embroidery? Such a man might be a bit effeminate, but women might like him.

What, just this level is okay? Gong Ruwen swallowed hard continuously, his sister was really too hard to please.

Gong Ruwen noticed his sister still had that slightly dissatisfied look, well, it seems his sister was indeed not wrong, she is indeed not satisfied.

"I want to learn how to braid hair too." Gong Ruwen declared loudly.

What, his big brother wants to learn to braid people’s hair? Gong Ruini had a dismissive look, "You should focus on studying." Her big brother shouldn’t learn these things, they’re not promising.

Moreover, there’s already an all-rounder who can braid, so why waste time?

With this time in the United States, it’s better to study some useful knowledge, even learning some traditional Chinese medicine from Aunt Zhan would be better.

"Do I not have to study?" Is there going to be preferential treatment? Zhao Xuran asked abruptly.

"Brother Xu Ran is already very competent, my brother is dumb, so he needs to spend more time studying." Gong Ruini wouldn’t say what she truly thought.

"Brother Xu Ran, you are the big brother to so many of us, you must be all-round to take good care of us younger siblings." To be a good boyfriend, a good husband, and eventually a good father.

Gong Ruini felt no embarrassment. To her, she was helping groom Zhao Xuran for his future girlfriend. One must know, good men need proper education.

Unfortunately, it’s unclear who’s going to snatch away the good man she’s worked hard to cultivate.

What? Keep them for yourself? Gong Ruini couldn’t imagine a day when she and Zhao Xuran would be together.

Although the boyfriend is all-round, his intimidating force is a bit too strong. If there’s a conflict, her parents would probably think she’s being unreasonable.

As for her big brother, currently suppressed thoroughly by Zhao Xuran, can he be expected to stand up for her against Zhao Xuran acting like a sly fox in the future?

Now with all the attempts to butter him up, is it with the thought he might help with braiding hair later on? Zhao Xuran saw Gong Ruini’s flattering manner and imagined a tail wagging behind her.

However, if he learns to braid hair, it’ll be good. In the future, he can touch Gong Ruini’s head, without worrying about messing up her hair and only being overwhelmed.

No action beats just wanting, so Zhao Xuran reached out again to touch Gong Ruini’s head continuously.

No way, wasn’t it just braided nicely? Gong Ruini watched Zhao Xuran stretch out his hand, and then felt the weight on her head again, followed by a massage-like force on her scalp.

Ahhh, Gong Ruini was angry, "What are you doing?" Her hair was just freshly braided, she hadn’t even shown off, and it’s already ruined.

"Feels good, don’t worry, I can help re-braid it again." Zhao Xuran said calmly.

He can help re-braid it again... This guy is seriously over the top, does he intend to keep braiding and destroying it?

Doesn’t he know his hands might sweat? Doesn’t he know this makes her hair oily easily?

"Don’t you know that this makes hair oily?" Gong Ruini puffed her cheeks in anger.

Oily? "I can help wash your hair," Zhao Xuran responded adeptly.

Help wash her hair? His reaction was way too fast. Gong Ruini was dumbfounded.

"Don’t you know soap is bad for washing hair?" In this era without shampoo, washing hair relied on soap, which was really bad.

Even this made many people envious, many villagers hadn’t used soap, let alone fragrant soap. freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Don’t you use the shampoo my mom mixed?" Zhao Xuran was quite surprised.

Though there was soap at home, they never used soap for the hair, it’s bad for the hair. They used the shampoo concocted by Zhan Jing with traditional Chinese medicine, which made hair black and dense.

Aunt Zhan’s shampoo indeed worked well, but how shall we put it, because it’s formulated with Chinese medicine, no matter how many times you rinse afterward, Gong Ruini could always smell the fragrance of medicine.

And this fragrance made Gong Ruini feel like a medicine jar, so she alternated usage.

"Not a pleasant scent, right. No wonder I say your hair isn’t black and dense." Zhao Xuran said with a look of triumph.

"Your hair is a bit thin, a bit dry and yellow." Zhao Xuran mused that a girl’s hair should be blacker to suit the look of Orientals.

So what if the hair is thin? Gong Ruini wouldn’t let Zhao Xuran know she also liked black hair. But seeing her big brother’s hair getting denser and blacker, saying she’s not envious would be a lie.

But Zhao Xuran’s look suggested he knew she wouldn’t obediently listen, which made Gong Ruini angry, "Don’t you know rich people are bald?"

Gong Ruini originally intended to retort Zhao Xuran, but didn’t expect the resulting reaction to be extremely strong.

Gong Tao cast a displeased glance at her, "Gong Ruini, don’t mention the rich."

Gong Tao knew Gong Ruini was talking about family matters, but at the moment, mentioning rich or poor wasn’t advised. If word got out, it could trigger a major upheaval.

It’s okay to speak here, nobody present would spread it, but Gong Ruini was still young. What if she accidentally mentioned it outside later?

Cai Meina tugged lightly on the tense Gong Tao, signaling him to ease his tone, lest he scare the girl.

Gong Tao was also anxious. With his wife’s reminder, his expression eased slightly, although he felt puzzled who had talked to Gong Ruini about such things.

Having gone through many ordeals and losses, Gong Tao had become somewhat conspiratorial, now pondering who might be so malicious to misguide the children. Could it be a ploy targeting them through the kids?

Gong Tao had some suspects in mind, although momentarily reluctant to think about them.

With thoughts of those individuals involved once again, Gong Tao’s face soured, taking on a somewhat fierce appearance.
