The weather at the end of December carries a deep chill, as the wind blows, snowflakes swirl around and dive into your collar. Ying Nuo stomped her feet and shrunk her neck, calling out to Sister Xiao Feng, who was standing by the wall, posing in the biting wind and looking at her reflection in the glass mirror: "Sister Xiao Feng, you’re already very pretty, co on over, it’s freezing."
Liu Feng ran over, rubbing her hands nervously while smoothing her hair: "Did my hairstyle get ssed up by the wind?"
"No." The three of them simultaneously shook their heads.
Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and tugged at her outfit: "The clothes... the clothes are okay too, right?"
"Very pretty." The three said in unison. Before Liu Feng could say anything else, Luo Ye looked her up and down and continued, "Your makeup hasn’t smudged, your shoes are clean, everything looks great."
"This is the... the first ti eting the parents." Liu Feng swallowed nervously, "I’m really... really nervous."
"Oh my..." Luo Ping patted her forehead, "Luckily, you didn’t fancy that Yanyan, otherwise I’d be exhausted talking to you in the future."
Liu Feng slapped her: "Oh, hush, anyone would be nervous in this situation, just wait and see, your ti will co, and I’ll be laughing at you then."
As the group was bantering, Luo Feng parked the car and walked over. Seeing their little red noses from the cold, he hurriedly said, "Let’s go inside."
Luo Ye suddenly smacked her forehead: "Brother, I’ve just realized, how co you, the student council president, have so much free ti? In previous years, didn’t you all have to stay at school to organize activities even after the holidays?"
Luo Feng affectionately patted her head: "I’ve delegated my powers. Smart, right?"
Ying Nuo pursed her lips and huffed: "Luoluo, guess who he delegated his powers to?"
"Judging by your expression..." Luo Ye scrutinized Ying Nuo, carefully pondering for a mont, her eyes twinkling with amusent, "Could it be Princess Rong, Wang Peirong?"
Ying Nuo looked surprised and widened her eyes: "How... how did you guess so accurately? Or did Brother Luo Feng already tell you all about it?"
Luo Ye scoffed: "Based on the Little Vinegar Lady’s expression, it was easy to deduce who the powers were delegated to. No need for him to specially tell ."
"Bad Luoluo." Ying Nuo pouted, "Bad Luoluo is always bullying , and Brother Luo Feng too. How am I going to survive in the future?"
Luo Ye grinned mischievously: "In the future, what future?"
Ying Nuo straightened her neck: "After we’re married, of course." With that, she sneaked a glance at Luo Feng, a blush spreading rapidly from her cheeks down to her neck.
Luo Feng chuckled and rubbed her head: "Don’t worry, I won’t bully you. Ye’er is more affectionate towards you than ; she definitely won’t bully you either."
"I truly envy the bond between you two." Liu Feng’s eyes were filled with admiration.
"Yes, such a relationship is truly rare and precious." Luo Ping said, her lips curling into a smile, "Liu Feng, you haven’t seen Ye Xuan yet. He’s more accommodating to Ye’er, and even more of a sight for sore eyes."
Liu Feng hesitated: "More handso than Young Master Luo?"
Luo Feng quickly waved his hand: "I can’t compare to him. Also, just call Luo Feng."
"What’s there to not compare?" Luo Ye gave her brother a glare, "In my eyes, my brother is just as handso, not one bit inferior."
"You’re just trying to make happy." Luo Feng amusedly hugged Luo Ye, "I have to tell Ye Xuan what you just said and see his reaction."
"Go ahead, why not call him now?" Luo Ye said, pulling out her phone and handing it over.
Luo Feng actually took the phone and started dialing.
"Are you really calling?" Ying Nuo snatched it away, "Stop looking for trouble, just relax, okay?"
"Yes, Little Housekeeper." The siblings said together.
Liu Feng couldn’t help but say: "Ying Nuo, I’m really envious of you. In the future, when you marry into the Luo Family, your sister-in-law will protect you, and your husband will cherish you; it’s really blissful."
Ying Nuo smiled shyly: "You’ll be just as happy, judging by how nervous you are, it’s obvious how much you care about your boyfriend."
They chatted and joked as they reached the door of the private room booked by Liu Feng’s boyfriend, Liu Xiaodong. As Liu Feng pulled open the door, Luo Ping suddenly froze, then began to furiously tap her head, quietly muttering, "Didn’t think, didn’t think..."
Luo Ye glanced at her thoughtfully, then greeted the familiar face inside, "Coach Liu, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you as the parent Liu Feng wanted to et."
"Ye’er, Xiao Feng, such a coincidence, co on in, co on in." Liu Bo said warmly, welcoming them, and wrapped his arm around Luo Feng’s shoulder, "I was nervous the whole ti, but now everything’s great."
"Why are you nervous?" Luo Ye asked in confusion.
Liu Bo chuckled, patting his head: "Xiao Dong suddenly said he wanted to et his girlfriend. You know I’m not much of a talker, and as his big brother, I’m even less sure about what to chat with his sister-in-law. If I say sothing wrong and ss up my brother’s romance, wouldn’t that be my fault? But if I don’t go, I’m worried the sister-in-law might think the Liu Family doesn’t take her seriously. This feeling, it’s really conflicted, you know."
"Hello everyone, I’m Liu Xiaodong." Liu Bo’s younger brother, Liu Xiaodong, looked at the crowd sowhat awkwardly, "I didn’t expect so many people to co all of a sudden."
"Don’t worry, both my brother and I are Coach Liu’s students, just think of it as a family gathering. If you’re still nervous, I’ll assu you find our presence botherso." Luo Ye laughed and said.
"Welco, welco, I’m delighted to have everyone here, no way I’d feel bothered. I’m just like this, eting strangers makes a little shy at first, but it’ll get better soon." Liu Xiaodong hastily explained. He and Liu Bo resemble each other slightly, with a height around 178, a tall fra, slightly dark skin, and a steadfast look in his eyes. A very handso and righteous young man indeed, no wonder Liu Feng has deep feelings for him.
After everyone exchanged introductions and got settled, the dishes started to be served one by one. As they ate and chatted, the initial awkwardness gradually faded, and the atmosphere beca increasingly harmonious.
"Luo Ping, struggling to pick up this dish? Let adjust it for you." Liu Bo noticed Luo Ping glancing at the spot in front of him and promptly moved the stir-fried yam her way.
"Thank you, thank you." Luo Ping expressed her gratitude repeatedly, her cheeks quickly turning crimson.
Recalling her previous behavior, Luo Ye imdiately understood part of it. It seed that after eting Liu Bo last ti, he had left a great impression on her. Her earlier muttering, "Don’t want, don’t want," was surely due to her not being able to distinguish if it was a dream or reality. Apparently, love at first sight does happen.
But what about Liu Bo’s wishes? Luo Ye’s eyes darted around, and she grinned at Liu Bo: "Coach Liu, Ye Xuan asked to pass so words to you, let’s step outside and talk."
"Alright." Liu Bo, unsuspecting, got up cheerfully and followed Luo Ye out of the private room. After finding a solitary corner, Luo Ye smiled at him: "Coach Liu, Ye Xuan didn’t actually ask to pass any ssages. I ca to find you for a different matter, hope you don’t mind?"
Liu Bo paused, then laughed: "Little girl, no need to be formal with . Just say it."
Luo Ye gazed at him earnestly: "What do you think of my cousin Luo Ping?"
Liu Bo scrutinized her: "You’re not trying to set us up, are you?"
Luo Ye quickly explained: "I won’t force anyone, just wanted to know your feelings. If both of you are interested, it could lead to a beautiful romance. If you’re not, then forget I asked."
Liu Bo pondered for a mont, his expression becoming serious: "Honestly, I have a very good impression of her. But you know my job, and now that my identity has been revealed, I have to return to my previous lifestyle.
I’m soone for whom life safety cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, I can’t always be by her side. During the tis she needs most, I might be on a mission and unable to contact her. Can she handle that?"
"I’ll talk with her about this. If we can set these concerns aside and you like her, I’ll discuss it with her." Luo Ye thought for a mont, looking at him seriously, "There’s one more thing I must tell you. Sister Pingping dated soone in college; honestly, he wasn’t reliable, but back then, she was determined to be with him.
Recently, she finally understood what kind of person he is and decided to break it off. This matter, I can’t keep hidden from you."
"I get what you’re implying. Who doesn’t have a past? That doesn’t matter to ." Liu Bo smiled as he scrutinized her, "Little girl, you’re quite the matchmaker."
"Hehe..." Luo Ye laughed sheepishly, "Then I’ll talk with Sister Pingping. I’ll emphasize once more, don’t feel pressured. I’m not underestimating my cousin, just don’t want her to be hurt in the future."
"What do you take for?" Liu Bo glanced at her disapprovingly, "You’ve known for years, am I the kind who says one thing and ans another?"
"My mistake." Luo Ye saluted solemnly, "I sincerely apologize to you."
After returning the salute, Liu Bo laughed: "Perhaps one day Ye’er will beco a female general, and I’ll proudly say, see, that female general once specifically saluted , and it was an apology salute too."
Luo Ye propped her chin, looking at him: "Coach Liu, I’ve noticed since restoring your identity, your words are as sweet as honey.
Earlier you claid you’re not talkative, this is way too modest! If you count as soone who can’t talk, then there wouldn’t be many people who can."
"Since you’re the matchmaking diator, of course, I have to try to please you a bit. You’re helping a lot here; you have no idea how scared I am to even call ho, let alone visit.
Whenever my parents hear my voice, they definitely ask, ’When are you bringing ho a daughter-in-law?’, I’m really scared of them."
Luo Ye chuckled: "Turns out you’re being pressured too! I’ll go talk with Sister Pingping now, so you can comfortably go ho by New Year, how’s that? Aren’t I a good enough apprentice?"
"Good enough, definitely good enough." Liu Bo raised his thumb, "Thanks to my sister-in-law for worrying and helping, thank you."
"Coach is so annoying, huh! Just wait till I give you a hard ti in the future." Luo Ye blushed deeply at the remark, muttering as she glared at him before quickly running off.
