Chapter 470: We have to go this way at night

Logically speaking, as a guest, Lin Xiuhong would definitely let Cui Suling sit quietly in the living room and would never let her cook for her.

But after playing mahjong, Li Luo’s eldest aunt Li Xuexian and her family went to Chen Hailin’s hometown to pay New Year’s greetings to relatives, so they were not present for lunch and dinner today.

So Lin Xiuhong originally planned to ask Li Luo's second aunt Li Xuefeng to cook together.

But Yuan Wanqing still wanted to try cooking another dish herself, and Cui Suling did not regard herself as a mere guest at all, and naturally followed Lin Xiuhong into the kitchen.

Li Xuefeng was happy to be free. After all, no matter how big the kitchen was, it would still be too crowded to fit four people in it, so she stepped out.

Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling are both veterans who have been working together for a long time, and the kitchen soon began to be filled with fragrance.

Yuan Wanqing didn't have any star airs and was very curious about learning how to cook from them.

Although she rarely had the opportunity to cook, Yuan Wanqing learned to cook very seriously when she thought about cooking for Ying Zhicheng and his two daughters.

With the help of Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling, the food made by Yuan Wanqing tasted pretty good.

Li Luo sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the three figures busy in the kitchen. He turned his head to look at Ying Chanxi and the other two next to him, as well as Li Guohong and the others who were chatting on the balcony. His expressions were a little dazed.

He always felt that such a scene should only be seen many years later, but it happened several years earlier, allowing him to see it today.

pity……

"Is Zhusheng leaving this afternoon?" Xu Youyu asked regretfully, "I thought we could at least have dinner together."

"The flight is at 4pm." Yan Zhusheng said, "We'll probably leave at 2pm."

"When will you come back?" Xu Youyu hugged Yan Zhusheng and asked again.

Yan Zhusheng was a little breathless due to being squeezed by Xu Youyu's chest. She puffed her lips but still said honestly: "Come back at the end of the month, before school starts."

"What a pity! I was thinking that we could find some places to go shopping after Li Luo and the others returned." Xu Youyu said regretfully, "Then we'll have to wait until school starts again."

"There's still plenty of time in the future. It's better to stay at home in the winter." Li Luo stretched lazily. "Wait until you finish the college entrance examination this year, Sister Yu, and we can find time to go traveling during the summer vacation."

"Oh...the college entrance examination..." Xu Youyu sighed when he heard this word.

"Why are you sighing?" Li Luo laughed. "The college entrance examination is not that difficult for you, right? If you just want to go to Qianjiang University, just don't miss any subject."

"Is this why I sighed?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "After the college entrance exam, I went to the university next door. I don't see you in school anymore."

"I'll climb over the wall to find you," Li Luo said casually.

"Haha~" Xu Youyu was amused by him, "Then I'll remember that if you don't climb over the wall, you're a puppy."

Four people were chatting on the sofa.

Chen Lu and Li Xiang were sitting next to them.

They sat on the other side of the sofa, looking at the harmonious atmosphere over there, they couldn't help but look at each other and started whispering again.

"Why can't I sense any competition between Xixi and the others?" Chen Lu asked in a low voice, "It's too harmonious!"

"It wasn't like this last year..." Li Xiang curled his lips, a little confused.

In his memory, during the Chinese New Year last year, Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu came here as guests, and he could still vaguely feel Ying Chanxi's resistance.

This year...

Looking at Ying Chanxi who was sitting obediently beside Li Luo and peeling oranges for him, Li Xiang covered his forehead, not understanding what kind of magic potion his uncle had fed her.

Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng were even more so. They looked at Ying Chanxi sitting next to Li Luo and feeding him oranges, but they didn't react at all. It seemed that they thought it was natural?

That’s outrageous!

"You asked me to read his book before, and I've been reading it every day recently." Chen Lu whispered, "I've read almost two million words."

"So fast?" Li Xiang was surprised.

"Don't underestimate me, okay? I used to read romance novels every day when I was in school." Chen Lu laughed, then his face darkened again, "But didn't you say that as long as I read his novels, I would know what was going on? Now explain it to me?"

Li Xiang: “Uh…”

To be honest, if it was the situation last year, some of the plots in "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" would really perfectly fit the situation of Li Luo and the other four.

The three heroines are all in love with the hero and flirt with him from time to time, but no one has confirmed the relationship.

If two heroines appear in private at the same time, a small Shura field will be created. Without hurting the male protagonist, there will be some small competition.

But now, Li Xiang discovered that the situation on Li Luo's side had evolved to the point where even the plot of the novel could hardly keep up.

In "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", if Li Luo and the three girls were really written to have such an interactive relationship as they do now, Li Xiang would probably be criticized for having a lowered IQ.

This is really too sci-fi!

If we say that in the early days of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", the content of the novel was still ahead of reality.

As time goes by, the emotional development in the novel has gradually lagged behind reality.

Li Xiang even had some doubts as to whether his uncle was relying on things that had happened in reality as material to write some of the plots in his novels?
Especially recently, when Li Luo wrote about the protagonist in the book going home for the New Year, Li Xiang even saw a male supporting character in it who looked like himself.

It just so happened that the heroine in the book, Mo Qinghan, was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and she sang "As Wish" and "Both Mother and Daughter", which echoed the situation in reality.

A few days ago, there was indeed a heated discussion in the comment section.

However, Reignite's operation of combining music with reality has been deeply rooted in the readers' hearts, so everyone is no longer surprised. They even joked that Reignite is rehashing old stuff and bringing out these two songs again.

After that, they celebrated the New Year, set off fireworks, went to the temple to pray, and then played mahjong at home. Mo Qinghan and Jiang Mingyue were both guests. The three women gathered together. How similar was it to the current scene?

Chen Lu hasn't read the rest of the story yet, but Li Xiang is following the updates every day.

I can only say that my uncle is really cunning. The three heroines in the novel were still fighting openly and secretly after they met.

It turns out that this situation doesn't exist at all here. Life is so peaceful and quiet here. It's damn annoying!
Li Xiang complained about this in his mind.

Li Luo over there naturally had no idea what his cheap nephew was thinking.

After Lin Xiuhong and the others prepared lunch, they invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling are both very good cooks, and the dish made by Yuan Wanqing tasted great too.

After the meal, Yuan Wanqing called Yan Zhusheng to go back next door to pack her luggage.

But before leaving, Yan Zhusheng turned around and looked back at Li Luo.

Seeing this, Li Luo got up and went to the toilet, then ran directly from the corridor to the rooftop, where he saw Yan Zhusheng climbing up to the rooftop from Ying Chanxi's house.

"Just look at me. What if I don't understand?"

Li Luo walked towards Yan Zhusheng and said with a smile.

But the next second, Yan Zhusheng threw himself into Li Luo's arms and hugged him tightly.

"I miss you." Yan Zhusheng nestled in Li Luo's arms and said softly.

"You haven't even left yet."

"I've started thinking about it." Yan Zhusheng raised her head in his arms, pursed her lips, and was about to say something when Li Luo blocked her mouth with his thin lips.

After their lips parted, Yan Zhusheng added, "I haven't said I want to practice singing yet."

Li Luo smiled, then found that she was still stubborn, so he lowered his head again.

Well, it softened after he kissed it. For a long time.

Yan Zhusheng leaned in Li Luo's arms, panting slightly, and whispered, "Are you free tonight?"

"What's wrong? Aren't you leaving this afternoon?"

"I want to call you." Yan Zhusheng looked up at him, "Can I?"

"sure."

"We can't let Xixi and Senior pick up the phone."

"...Why do you allow them to stay with me at night?"

Yan Zhusheng gently nudged his chest with her head, then stood on tiptoes and kissed Li Luo on the lips. Without saying anything else, she turned around and went downstairs.

Li Luo looked at her leaving back, still feeling a little unsatisfied. However, they had been on the rooftop for too long, and if he didn't go down, people would think he had fallen into the toilet.

I hurried back to the living room on the second floor, where Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu were still sitting on the sofa.

In the yard next door, the nanny car that came to pick up Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng to go to the airport was already parked there.

This time, Ying Zhicheng doesn't need to pick me up.

Li Luo reasonably suspected that it was because Yan Zhusheng would also go with them and Uncle Ying couldn't do anything shameful, so he agreed to let the driver come to pick up Yuan Wanqing.

However, he just complained a little in his heart, after all, he was not much better.

When it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng packed their luggage and went downstairs to prepare to set off.

Li Luo and his friends came to the next yard to see them off.

Yan Zhusheng looked at Li Luo, then walked up to the three of them, first hugged Ying Chanxi and then hugged Xu Youyu as a farewell.

Finally, Yan Zhusheng walked up to Li Luo and, in front of other elders around them, hugged Li Luo gently and very reservedly. Then, with a blushing face, she hurriedly turned around and got into the car.

When Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling saw this scene, they looked at each other. Seeing that their daughter looked fine, they felt helpless.

"Then we'll leave first." Yuan Wanqing rolled down the car window and said goodbye to everyone with a smile, "See you next time."

Yan Zhusheng also stuck his head out and waved to everyone, but his eyes were always glued to Li Luo, and he didn't notice anyone else at all.

Finally, the driver started the car and slowly drove out of the yard.

Li Luo walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at the nanny car gradually moving away, and Yan Zhusheng who had poked his head out, until they completely disappeared around the corner, and then he finally withdrew his gaze.

He was recalling the hug Yan Zhusheng gave him before they left.

This hug was much lighter than the one on the rooftop before. I could only feel Yan Zhusheng's arms and shoulders touching me, but I could feel my heart throbbing.

Li Luo turned his head to look at Ying Chanxi again, and recalled the girl in his previous life who took a photo with the whole class and then came to take a photo with him.

God allowed him to be reborn, probably to redeem himself, in addition to making up for the regrets of his parents in his previous life.

Ying Chanxi was the joy of his youth that he could never get back after he had lost it.

Xu Youyu is the dream that makes people intoxicated and obsessed after he enters society.

Yan Zhusheng was a ray of light in his life after he was completely trapped in dire straits.

But he missed them all.

"What are you thinking about?" Ying Chanxi stood in front of Li Luo, waved her hands in front of him, and puffed her lips slightly. "Zhu Sheng just left, and you miss her, right?"

"I was thinking about you."

"You, what are you talking about..." Ying Chanxi's defense was completely broken by his simple words. She blushed slightly and looked around. Seeing that Lin Xiuhong and the others didn't notice, she breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense."

After seeing off Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng, Li Luo took Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi to the supermarket to buy some fireworks.

He walked around the village with firecrackers, blowing up a water tank and then a water bucket, or he went to the fish pond outside the village to attack Li Guohong and his men.

In the evening, after dinner, Li Luo set off fireworks for Xu Youyu in the yard to help her make up for the regret of not being able to see the fireworks on New Year's Eve.

Afterwards, they went back to the second floor to play mahjong with Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling.

Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu also came to the table, and Li Luo stood by to pass them fruits and add tea.

Even Cui Suling was fed by Li Luo.

Seeing this, Xu Youyu immediately laughed and said, "Mom, you are already an adult, and you still need Li Luo to feed you fruit?"

"You talk too much." Cui Suling rolled her eyes at her. "I've raised a daughter for more than ten years but it's all in vain. She's not as sensible as Li Luo, who knows how to pass fruit to her."

"Am I not acting like your predecessor and feeding you cards?"

"You call this feeding cards? What kind of crappy cards are you playing?"

"Then I can't help it if you don't want me to."

The mother and daughter were arguing, while Li Luo was moving between the four of them, treating them equally.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, when the mahjong game was over, Li Luo returned to his room to type.

On the other side, Xu Youyu's room was arranged in the smallest bedroom on the third floor.

After taking a shower, Xu Youyu waited quietly in the room for a long time. Feeling that the time was about right, he finally came out of his room quietly.

As a result, just as he was about to reach the entrance of the corridor, Ying Chanxi's room door was quietly opened.

The two looked at each other at the door. Xu Youyu coughed and walked towards the bathroom opposite Ying Chanxi: "I need to go to the toilet."

"Oh, then, then you go first, Senior."

"You want to go to the bathroom too?"

“Hmm, ah…”

"Then I'll call you when I'm done."

"……it is good."

After a while, Xu Youyu came out of the bathroom and knocked on Ying Chanxi's door.

After she saw Ying Chanxi walk into the bathroom with her own eyes, Xu Youyu didn't even go back to his bedroom, but walked straight out of the corridor.

But last year she lived directly in the bedroom on the third floor of Li Luo's house and had no idea that the rooftops of the two buildings were connected.

So she went straight downstairs and wanted to go up to the second floor next door, but she found that the door to the living room on the second floor next door was locked and she couldn't get in!

Xu Youyu found that he couldn't open the door. He scratched his head in distress and had to return in shame.

As a result, as soon as he reached the corner of the third floor, he ran into Ying Chanxi who was sneaking out from inside.

"Senior sister..."

"Xixi..."

The two looked at each other awkwardly.

In the end, Ying Chanxi sighed, took Xu Youyu's hand, and led her to the rooftop: "We have to go this way at night. The downstairs is blocked."
