"That’s for sure. Have you confird the concert date with Sister Sha?"
"Yes, it’s set for November."
"Good luck. I’ll be there to cheer for you at the concert."
Hearing this, Tan Xiao was very excited, "Great, I won’t let Sister Lili down."
Gu Lili patted his shoulder, "After the concert, take a good rest. Don’t push yourself too hard. Your health cos first; only with good health can you continue to sing well."
"I think so too."
...
When Gu Lili returned ho, she had just reached the bedroom door when she saw Stars coming out, holding sothing in his arms. Seeing her, his little face’s expression changed instantly.
"What are you holding?"
"Nothing, Mom."
"Let see." Gu Lili was about to reach out when his little body dodged.
"Really nothing, Mom."
"If there’s nothing, then take it out and show ." Gu Lili’s face darkened, "What is it, really?"
Stars lowered his head and said nothing.
Gu Lili took him to the room, loosened his arm at the bed edge, and the things in his arms clattered onto the bed.
It was her makeup: eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil—all complete.
"What are you doing with these?"
"Mom, do you rember that annoying Tan Ruyue I ntioned at the parent-teacher eting?"
Gu Lili recalled, "Yes, I rember. What’s up?"
"She’s really pitiful. Her mom went abroad, and her dad arranged for a nanny to look after her, but he’s never around. Today afternoon she told her dad plans to send her to a nunnery, and she won’t be able to go to school anymore. Don’t girls like lipstick and stuff? I want to give them to her."
"Sending her to a nunnery?" Gu Lili didn’t understand, "She has a dad, why send her there?"
"She secretly told it’s because her dad’s wife wants it that way."
Gu Lili suddenly understood: this little girl was an illegitimate child, commonly known as a child of the mistress.
No mom.
No dad.
Truly pitiful.
"But didn’t you say she can’t go to school anymore? How will you see her?"
"I talked with brother. We’ll ask Uncle Tang to take us to the nunnery to see her. She gave the address."
"Let’s do this: tomorrow, Mom will take you to see her. But don’t give her these; little girls don’t need them. We’ll give her so nice clothes instead. How does that sound?"
Stars instantly agreed, "Good idea, Mom. You’re really great."
"By the way, you were really annoyed by her before, so why do you want to give her sothing now?"
Stars scratched his head, "I thought about it. I’m a little man; I can’t be petty like these girls. We’ve had a great ti these days, and I don’t find her annoying anymore."
Gu Lili held him in her arms, "You little rascal. Want to go with Mom to buy her clothes together?"
"Sure."
Brother wants to read, so he didn’t go with them. Gu Lili took Stars shopping.
Since Tan Ruyue is about the sa age and height as Stars, he tried on the sizes.
They bought two sets of beautiful princess dresses, and only then did mother and son head back ho.
The next day was Saturday.
The twins would usually sleep until eight or nine o’clock, but today they got up at six, like on a school day.
After breakfast, Gu Lili drove them to Beining Mountain.
The car was parked at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them carried the clothes up the mountain steps.
Today, Gu Lili dressed very casually, with a tracksuit, baseball cap, and a black mask.
