Three ters ahead, Qi Dong was being beaten by Xing Nong, yelping for rcy. Little Pumpkin switched his luggage from his right hand to his left, flashing a mischievous smile as he patted Lu Lu on the shoulder: "Congratulations man, in the future, ah hahaha... you know what I an... hahaha..."
Lu Lu glanced at him sideways: "I advise you to think before you speak, or you might bring trouble on yourself and have nowhere to cry later."
Wen Nan stopped laughing and shook his head: "No way, Little Mi is really gentle, she would never do sothing so fierce."
"That’s not necessarily true. She’s young and hasn’t settled down yet. Who dares to say what she might do in the future?" Lu Lu lifted Wen Nan’s chin: "Let Grandpa tease you a bit, and when the ti cos, I’ll have your back."
"Step off!" Wen Nan pushed him: "Really, you two are a pair of hooligans!"
"This kid is addicted to fighting." Lu Lu shoved the suitcase into Wen Nan’s hands and scurried over, pulling the joyfully brawling Xing Nong into his chest: "Nongnong, stop it, do you want to beat him to death?"
"Mind your own business!" Xing Nong thrust her elbow back and stomped her foot, causing Lu Lu to inhale sharply from the pain but he kept holding onto her: "It’s , cut it out."
"You... who are you?" Xing Nong stamred.
"Your future husband, current boyfriend—Lu Lu."
"Who... who asked you to co?" Xing Nong said as she bit his arm: "Let go of !"
"Uh?" Lu Lu humd lightly without much weight to it.
Xing Nong quickly switched tones, smiling ingratiatingly: "I... I an, we’re at the doorway, let’s not hug and cuddle, we should be mindful of our manners, right?"
Lu Lu pointed at Qi Dong who had just gotten up: "Who’s that guy, and why did he provoke you?"
Xing Nong rolled her eyes: "Him? A shaless scumbag. I won’t talk about the past, but he blocked early in the morning and said he wanted to chase after . Lu Lu, he’s trying to steal your girlfriend, and you were pleading for him. Hmph, decide what you want to do!"
"So that’s how it is." Lu Lu let go of Xing Nong and walked over to Qi Dong while Little Pumpkin hurriedly shouted: "Hey, go easy on him, don’t kill anyone."
"Who said I’m going to beat him?" Lu Lu scoffed disdainfully: "That’s what barbarians do, I’m a civilized person, how could I do such a thing?"
"That’s good." Wen Nan dragged his luggage forward, shoving Lu Lu’s suitcase into Xing Nong’s hands: "Here, take your boyfriend’s luggage, it’s your responsibility."
Xing Nong’s eyes widened: "What... what do you an by this?"
Wen Nan looked down on her: "Are you dumb? He’s here to et the parents; your Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom, so they are aware of his existence as their future son-in-law, to save the old folks from worrying and setting up marriages for you, preventing trouble later on."
Xing Nong growled angrily: "I say, why didn’t you discuss it with before coming? Is this how you do things? I’m not even that old yet, how can I bring this up with my Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom? Do you want to live?"
"What’s the rush? Be ladylike. We’ll talk about this later, let’s deal with the current situation first." Lu Lu said as he patted the dust off Qi Dong: "Does it hurt from the beating?"
Qi Dong sized up Lu Lu, who towered over him and shrank back: "Just now you said you wouldn’t hit anyone."
"Right, I don’t hit people. Look how pitiful our Nongnong made you...." Lu Lu took a handkerchief and "wiped" Qi Dong’s face...
"Ah..." Qi Dong cried out in pain, stepping back and glaring at him: "I let Nongnong hit because I like her, that doesn’t an you can bully !"
"Nongnong?" Lu Lu curled his lips: "Who are you to call her that? She’s my future wife, Lu Lu. You’re trying to steal her away from . Do you expect to applaud and welco you?"
Qi Dong looked puzzled at Xing Nong: "Is he... really your boyfriend?"
Xing Nong looked at him with disdain: "I’m saying, are you a masochist? I’ve already beaten you to a pulp, and you still can’t give up?"
Qi Dong puffed out his chest: "Beating is affection, scolding is love. You like , that’s why you hit . Nongnong, I really like you, even if he is your boyfriend, I won’t give up. As long as you’re not married, I have the right to pursue you."
"No wonder I find you so endearing, so that’s why." Lu Lu kicked Qi Dong’s butt and with a tug on his arm, flipped him over onto the ground.
The sequence of actions was too fast, Qi Dong didn’t have ti to react before finding himself on the ground. When he ca to his senses, his eyes were filled with fury: "You... you don’t keep your word."
"I didn’t hit you. I welcod you warmly, in the way you wanted," Lu Lu squatted in front of him: "I know what kind of a person Nongnong is, she would never treat you this way just because you’re chasing her. I advise you, start anew from this mont on, be a better man. If you don’t heed my advice, next ti you won’t be so lucky. Given Nongnong’s temperant, she might actually cripple you. Then, forget about climbing any high branches, even finding an ordinary family might be difficult. Believe it or not?"
"She wouldn’t treat that way," Qi Dong stubbornly said.
Xing Nong glared at him: "I would. If it weren’t for Lu Lu stopping today, I wouldn’t have let it go. Also, don’t tell you like to disgust . We both know exactly why you’re chasing ."
Alright, I’ll tell you based on your asure of standards. Lu Lu’s Grandpa is a Provincial Party Secretary of a certain province, and his dad is the Deputy Mayor of a Prefecture-level City. Tell , what do you have compared to him?
"True feelings cannot be asured by family background." Qi Dong asserted confidently, though his voice was getting weaker.
"If you know what’s good for you, let this be the end of it. If you continue to cling on, I don’t mind. It’s a good opportunity to practice my skills," said Xing Nong with a malicious grin. "Right, I’m actually in need of a shooting target. Why don’t we make a deal and you can be my target?"
"I... I have sothing else to attend to. I’ll co back another day," Qi Dong said, retreating with terror in his eyes, his face probably turning pale, though it was hard to tell because of the purplish hue.
Xing Nong stopped paying attention to him and looked at Lu Lu: "I’ll take you to Luoluo’s master’s ho. It’s pretty empty there; it can accommodate both of you."
Lu Lu held her hand and headed toward the courtyard: "We’ll talk about this later, let’s go et the elders first."
"Hey, can’t you be reasonable?" Xing Nong was pulling back: "I haven’t spoken to my family yet. If we just show up like this, it will scare them. Let break the news to them first, okay?"
Lu Lu shook his head: "No, your ’vaccine’ might take years to prepare, and you’ve already t my family. It’s only fair."
"Little Pumpkin..." Xing Nong pleaded with Wen Nan.
Wen Nan, dragging two suitcases, looked helpless: "I can’t do anything about it. If it were up to , we would have gone to my aunt’s house to settle down after getting off the plane before coming to find you. But he insisted on eting your family first before anything else."
"Once settled in, who knows into which turtle shell she’ll retreat," Lu Lu said while pulling Xing Nong toward the main courtyard: "A cut with the head extended or retracted is still a cut, might as well get it over with."
Xing Nong sulked and muttered, "If you know it’s like facing the knife, why force to go through with it? You say you like , but it’s all nonsense. Anyone who really likes wouldn’t make things so difficult for ."
Lu Lu looked serious: "Because I like you, I must et your family before the New Year. Initially, my parents wanted to co too, but I persuaded them not to scare your family. You know our families; it’s possible that during a conversation with friends, the topic of our marriage could be agreed upon. Better to be open about it in advance, don’t you think?"
Xing Nong frowned in conflict: "But you’re way too young."
Wen Nan had caught up and kicked Xing Nong’s foot: "Hurry up. No one can change Young Master Lu’s mind once it’s made up. Just give in."
...
It was rare for Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan to co ho and gather together. Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan didn’t go out either, and they were all enjoying tea and conversation when the door was pushed open.
Mrs. Yan, seeing that her daughter had returned, scolded in habit: "Nongnong, did you forget sothing again? You’re always so forgetful."
"It’s not..." Xing Nong smiled awkwardly, pointing to Lu Lu and Wen Nan who had entered: "They’re my friends, just coming to familiarize themselves with the place."
Grandma Wen stood up smiling: "And they’re still dragging their luggage. Put it down and co have so hot water to warm up in this freezing weather."
"Thank you, Grandma," Lu Lu bowed politely and then said: "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, my na is Lu Lu, and I’m Xing Nong’s boyfriend. I ca specially today to visit the elders."
"Boy... boyfriend?" Mrs. Yan stamred and repeated, looking at Xing Nong: "Tell , what is this all about? How old are you? How old is he?"
Xing Nong shrank: "I..." she looked pleadingly at Grandma Yan.
Grandma Yan, feeling sorry for her granddaughter, quickly invited them: "Sit down, let’s talk about this slowly."
"Mom, don’t indulge her in this. How old is she?" Mrs. Yan glared at her daughter: "Answer the question I just asked."
"Auntie..."
Mrs. Yan glared at Lu Lu: "You shut up. It’s none of your business."
Xing Nong braced herself: "I’m 18, he’s 16. I’ve already t his parents. He will join next year at GF University as my classmate, and in the future, we will surely be together."
"You... you..." Mrs. Yan trembled with anger, "Dad, Mom, look at her. She’s no better than a little hooligan. Just look at her attitude, huh..."
Grandpa Yan waved his hand: "Don’t bla Nongnong’s mom right away, I think young Lu isn’t bad. If he hadn’t said it, I would’ve thought he was about the sa age as Nongnong. And the boy is certainly more sensible than Nongnong. It’s not when the marriage happens; it’s whether the two are compatible. Honestly, I’ve been envious of the Luo Family and the Shangguan Family recently, seeing their children paired up, while our Nongnong is still single. This is good now."
"Dad..." Mrs. Yan was dumbfounded.
