Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Lin Yu's last bit of nervousness completely vanished because of the smile on Liu Ou's face.

He watched as Liu Ou came over and reached to take the thing in his hand but dodged for a moment, "This is quite heavy, I can manage it. I was so focused on being nervous that I didn't even think to text you."

Liu Ou pretended to be angry and glared at him, "So when did you have a free hand? You just didn't want to text me. Why did you buy so much stuff? Aren't you just here to have a meal?"

Lin Yu said earnestly, "But it's my first time visiting as a boyfriend, so I wouldn't feel at ease without bringing something."

In the end, Liu Ou still took the fruit basket from his hand, and then the two of them took the elevator together.

Liu Ou looked at Lin Yu seriously, then said, "You don't seem that nervous."

Lin Yu glanced at her, "Then how should I show that I'm nervous?"

Liu Ou just laughed, "It's good that you're not nervous; that way, I don't have to comfort you."

Lin Yu: ...

He fell silent for a moment, "Maybe you should comfort me after all?"

The elevator was about to arrive.

Liu Ou kissed him quickly with a smile.

Still on the cheek.

Lin Yu felt that he hadn't been comforted, but before he could express his dissatisfaction, the elevator doors opened.

Even though there was nobody outside, the door to Liu Ou's home was open.

Alright, Lin Yu's other thoughts instantly disappeared from his mind.

No help for it.

Isn't this from the heart?

Even when trying to calm himself, he couldn't help but start feeling nervous again.

After all, there had already been a proposal between them, and meeting the parents seemed like just one step away from marriage.

How could he not be nervous?

Liu Ou held his hand as they exited the elevator.

But just as they approached the door, they heard voices from inside,

Wang Wen's voice full of impatience, "You're bothering me, go out."

Then Liu Da's voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, "How am I bothering you? The kitchen is big enough!"

"Are you trying to pick a fight? I don't want to argue with you now that our daughter is bringing her boyfriend home!" Wang Wen's voice got a little louder.

Lin Yu felt a bit awkward. Was there going to be a fight inside?

But contrary to his expectation, Liu Da's voice softened a bit, "Why so fierce? I'm done washing!"

Liu Ou whispered to Lin Yu, "I think my dad is pursuing my mom. They haven't been arguing much lately."

It may just be coincidental.

Four years ago, Liu Da was transferred back here.

And this year, in the latter half, Wang Wen also got transferred back.

Anyway, the couple is now working in the same place.

Liu Ou feels there's something fishy about these transfers.

But it's hard to say on whom this fishiness lies.

However, Liu Ou feels both her parents are changing now.

Sometimes they still argue, but they don't go as far as breaking things or storming out anymore.

At least they can stay in one space together now.

That's progress, at least.

Only when no more sounds were coming from inside did Lin Yu ask in a low voice, "Shall we go in?"

Liu Ou found his cautiousness amusing, but didn't tease him right now, since he was already very nervous; teasing would just make him more so.

So, he nodded and pulled him inside.

As soon as they went in, they saw Liu Da putting the washed fruit on the table.

Liu Da turned his head when he heard the noise.

Lin Yu hastily called out, "Uncle, good afternoon, sorry to disturb."

Liu Da smiled, "Good afternoon, how can it be a disturbance to come for a meal? And you brought so many things... "

Hearing the voices, Wang Wen came out of the kitchen and, seeing what Lin Yu was carrying, complained, "It's enough to come over for a meal. Why all this fuss?"

Lin Yu quickly called out, "Auntie, good afternoon, it's the proper thing to do, the first formal visit requires it."

Wang Wen shook her head, "You youngsters, just take a seat. I still have a few dishes to finish."

Liu Da also took the stuff from Lin Yu's hands, "Take a seat, the fruit was just washed. Tea or water?"

Lin Yu quickly waved his hand, "No bother, Uncle. I don't need to drink."

He felt that this response was somewhat off as well.

Lin Yu had just finished speaking and was instantly confused himself.

Liu Ou, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, both of you sit down. I'll pour you some water."

As she spoke, she put the fruit basket aside and started pouring water while speaking, "Why are you all so nervous? You were fine at Grandma's, weren't you?"

This is quite a formal meeting, isn't it?

Liu Da sighed, "I didn't really feel anything at first. It's mainly Lin Yu's serious demeanor that's driving my emotions up."

Lin Yu laughed embarrassingly, "No, Uncle, I'm genuinely nervous."

"Don't be nervous. You being able to step through this door today shows our attitude," Liu Da glanced towards the kitchen, "Your aunt hasn't cooked for years."

He said with a sly tone, "If it weren't for you today, I would definitely miss out on even a single bite of her cooking."

Even though he was complaining, he still kept his voice down. Otherwise, he might really not get to taste any if he was overheard.

After dating Liu Ou for so many years, Lin Yu was already clear on the situation at his home.

Liu Da didn't have anything he felt he couldn't say.

Lin Yu unconsciously lowered his voice, "Actually, not necessarily. Isn't it that you, Uncle, and Auntie rarely spend time at home together? At least today you can both work together. That's progress."

Liu Da looked at him and spoke even lower, leaning in, "I just saw she might be preparing braised pork. You probably don't like it, right? I love it, though. Is it made for me?"

Lin Yu caught the gleam in his eyes and didn't have the heart to tell him that he actually liked braised pork as well.

At that moment, he nodded, "It must be for you, Uncle."

The corners of Liu Da's mouth curved up. His mood seemed to improve, "I knew it. She always says one thing and means another... "

Liu Ou gave Lin Yu a covert thumbs up on the side, very good, excellent.

Thanks to Lin Yu's "consolation," Liu Da and Lin Yu quickly started chatting it up.

Liu Ou joined them for a little chat before heading into the kitchen.

It was mainly that she couldn't stand to see Lin Yu's serious yet nonsensical demeanor, and the fact that her dad actually believed it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Quite perplexing.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.

How could her dad believe the advice of Lin Yu, who had only had one relationship, and with her no less?

The kicker is that she was the one who initiated both the confession and the proposal.

Does Lin Yu's method of chasing "girls" really work?

Anyway, Liu Ou was about to die of laughter, afraid she might actually laugh out loud, so she rushed inside.

Seeing her come in still wearing a smile, Wang Wen also had a smile in her eyes, "Why did you come in? Aren't you keeping Little Yu company for a chat?"

Liu Ou shook her head, "They say they want to talk about men's topics. I didn't want to hear it, so I came in to have a look."

Talking about chasing girls isn't that a man's topic?
