I didn't even have time to hide before he scared me half to death. "Don't do anything!" I said, "Just watch TV." "Shh! Shh!" Tian'ai Auntie said, "Let Ranran go to your room and watch TV with you!" "Why?" Guansha quickly changed the channel and said, "The living room has a big TV, it's better for watching soccer." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to me, "You go watch TV in their room, little girl, just make do." "Why don't you make do?" I asked. "If I were listening to those sappy love songs, I would definitely make do," he said, holding the remote control tightly in his hand. I thought Tian'ai Auntie would scold him, but she didn't. Instead, she winked at me mischievously, looking even more helpless than I did. I found her very amusing, and my anger dissipated a lot. So, I said to Guansha, "Fine, I'll let you have your way, but it's not because I'm afraid of you, it's because I want to give Tian'ai Auntie face." "Why don't you call her mom?" Guansha asked, still watching TV and being mischievous. I really wanted to call Tian'ai Auntie "mom" to annoy him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. In my memory, I had never called anyone "mom" before, and the hesitation in my heart made me feel a pang of sadness. I didn't say anything and went upstairs to my room. Not long after, Tian'ai Auntie came knocking on my door. I opened it and let her in, afraid that she would try to comfort me, which would make me even more embarrassed. But she didn't. Instead, she asked me, "Do you think Shasha is the kind of boy who annoys girls?" I wanted to say "yes", but thinking that Guansha was her son, I kept quiet. Tian'ai Auntie said, "Shasha is a bit strange. His teacher told me that he's very introverted in class. I don't see him having any friends either, it's really worrying! Ranran, you have to help me figure out what's going on in his head." "I can't help with that!" I quickly shook my head and said, "I'm not even able to hide from him!" "You're the same age, you'll be able to communicate," Tian'ai Auntie said confidently. Then she pulled me along and said, "Let's go to the living room, I'll teach you how to arrange flowers." I love watching Tian'ai Auntie arrange flowers. Her long and beautiful fingers moved silently among the leaves, like a dance. I happily followed her downstairs. "My mom is good at flattering little girls," Guansha said, looking displeased when he saw us being affectionate. His voice was full of resentment, which made me very satisfied - it was exactly what I wanted to do, make him angry! If I couldn't annoy him to death, then I wasn't doing a good job! Then we had dinner. Because I like spicy food, Tian'ai Auntie added more chili peppers to the dish. Guansha's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he took a bite, and he started coughing and ran to the kitchen to drink water frantically, as if the food was poisonous. Dad said, "Tian'ai, don't always cater to Ranran's tastes, make some dishes that Shasha likes too!" Tian'ai Auntie smiled and said, "Don't mind him, he wasn't always this sensitive to spicy food before!" "What do you mean?" Guansha asked from the kitchen, his voice low and sulky. "Are you saying I'm faking it? You just know how to flatter little girls!" I buried my head in laughter. "I'll flatter you then!" Dad said, trying to mediate, "Tonight we'll go out and eat, what do you want to order?"
