Chapter 103 Is it definitely not called "sister-in-law"?

Seeing that Bian Ji had suddenly fallen silent, Lu Yinzhao took the envelope back from his hand.

Without even glancing at the rest of the contents, he shoved the letter back into the fold.

"I will return this."

Lu Yinzhao knew that if this matter wasn't dealt with seriously, it would continue to happen in the future.

He used to wonder if those heartthrobs in idol dramas really had that many admirers.

Lu Yinzhao only realized the difficulty of the situation after she became the person involved herself.

...

The letter was returned unopened the next day.

And it was inadvertently discovered by the teacher in the class of the student who wrote the letter.

Instead of calling out students' names, the teacher held a mini-psychological lesson during the class meeting.

Teach children "how to interact healthily" in a warmer way, and help them distinguish between so-called "affection" and "love".

The head of the teaching department sat in on this class.

He wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Teacher Sun, your psychology mini-lesson is quite good. If you have the chance, please share it with the other homeroom teachers in the office and let them teach a lesson to their students as well."

“I will, Director Gao, but… this method is not entirely my idea; it was suggested by Lu Yinzhao from Class 1.”

Ms. Sun, the teacher of Class 6, learned the whole truth about the love letter.

She was also surprised when Lu Yinzhao took the initiative to find her.

How can a ten-year-old child express such adult-like views with such emotional stability?

Furthermore, Lu Yinzhao also told her not to criticize that female classmate by name, and even more so not to hurt her self-esteem in private.

After listening to the story, Teacher Sun was impressed by the little boy's thoughtfulness and consideration.

"Oh? It's Lu Yinzhao again?" The head of the teaching department certainly knew this child.

Lu Yinzhao is now one of the school's "Top Ten Outstanding Students," excelling in moral character, intelligence, physical education, aesthetics, and labor skills—a truly outstanding student.

Moreover, he is the child of Lu Wenyan and Yin Song.

This identity is something all the teachers know.

"Yes, Director Gao, this child really has high emotional intelligence..." Teacher Sun stopped there, without mentioning that Lu Yinzhao had received a love letter.

The head of teaching affairs took the issue of "early romantic relationships" to heart and planned to hold a meeting with the teachers when he had time.

Children these days are precocious. If they aren't properly guided at school, they might grow up to be even more distorted after they leave school.

Lu Yinzhao, this great contributor, kept his achievements and fame hidden.

After some time, he never received such letters again, and he also stopped accepting gifts from others.

If there are feelings that are too unfamiliar for him to reciprocate, then it's better not to accept them in the first place.

In school, relationships with classmates can vary in terms of closeness or distance.

Lu Yinzhao was naturally more familiar with his classmates in Class 1; he was only nodding acquaintances with those from other classes.

With so many students in that grade, it's impossible for him to befriend everyone.

...

During class, Lu Yinzhao suddenly drifted off into her own thoughts.

The image of Bian Ji's cold face from that day flashed through my mind again, which was rather strange.

It seems the big boss really dislikes seeing him dating so young...

That makes sense. If he had a younger brother who was very young, he would also worry about his brother having such problems at school.

The way Bianji looked when he saw the love letter that day was even more excited than he was.

Lu Yinzhao was almost certain that Bian Ji had probably encountered quite a few people handing him love letters.

Lu Yinzhao didn't find a single letter at home, which means he must have been rejected by Bian Ji on the spot.

Bian Ji did this much more decisively than him, and he should learn from Bian Ji.

So that's why creating a cool and aloof persona works.

Lu Yinzhao looked out the window and gave it a cold look, staring at the slightly reflective surface.

Yeah, he needs to be a bit more aloof and cool too.

I can't keep grinning like an idiot all day long.

"Lu Yinzhao, what's wrong? Is there something outside?" the math teacher suddenly called out.

Lu Yinzhao immediately snapped out of her daze and shook her head at the teacher, "N-nothing."

"Why don't you come to the blackboard and demonstrate how to answer this question?"

"oh."

Although Lu Yinzhao had been daydreaming and not paying attention, he glanced at the question on the blackboard and quickly came up with the answer.

This is very simple; it's just a variation of the "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem.

If "chicken" is replaced with "bicycle" and "rabbit" is replaced with "tricycle", how many bicycles and tricycles are there?

Lu Yinzhao quickly finished writing with the chalk.

The math teacher adjusted his glasses. "Yes, Lu Yinzhao's answer is correct. If the answers you all gave are not the ones on the blackboard, then you've made a mistake."

The students started whispering among themselves again.

"Sigh, I just finished reading the questions, how come he's already finished?"

"Lu Yinzhao did it way too fast."

"Otherwise, how could he have been the math class representative for four consecutive years?"

"Who says otherwise... I really want to borrow his brain."

"I really hate this question. Lu Yinzhao answered it way too easily."

"..."

Lu Yinzhao silently returned to his seat, only to be pulled aside by Long Xiaoman who asked him a series of "why" questions.

Lu Yinzhao explained it completely in language that a child of that age could understand.

Long Xiaoman understood at the time.

But after class ended and I rested for ten minutes, I was completely bewildered again.

"Zhao Zhao, you're always so amazing, it's making life unbearable for everyone." Long Xiaoman popped a chocolate into her mouth and looked at Lu Yinzhao with a resentful expression.

Lu Yinzhao: "..."

He didn't have much to say; he couldn't very well say that he had learned all of this in his past life.

*

Another week passed, and Bian Ji's results in the competition were released.

They won the gold medal in the junior group.

The organizers presented him with an award; the trophy was a transparent, simplified violin shape, and the certificate of honor was made of metal-plated material that shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Wow! I knew you'd win! Wasn't I right? Wasn't I right?"

Lu Yinzhao looked at the trophy on the table, circled it several times, and shouted excitedly.

“Yes, you’re right.” Bian Ji smiled.

"Quickly put it in your trophy cabinet! Another achievement!" Lu Yinzhao said excitedly.

Bian Ji's cabinet of honor was custom-made; it's a full-wall cabinet that stretches from floor to ceiling, enough for him to display for a long time before it's full.

We've only set up less than a quarter of the display area so far; we still need to keep working hard.

Lu Yinzhao looked at the cabinet with great envy.

When will he have a chance to be covered in honors?

After putting away the trophy and certificate of honor, the two left the room.

Bian Nan just happened to come back.

Upon seeing Lu Yinzhao, he said, "Zhaozhao, your older brother is back. I saw his car. Are you going home to stay today?"

"What? Big brother's back? I'll go see!"

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yinzhao ran out of the gate of the Bian family villa.

He excitedly ran to the front of his house and, sure enough, saw his older brother's car parked there.

Just as Lu Yinzhao was about to shout, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman get out of the car.

The woman was tall and had a great figure. She had medium-length, slightly wavy hair.

His older brother, Lu Xun, got off the bus next.

Lu Yinzhao had been wondering if his older brother had brought a friend over for a visit, when he saw...

The two hugged each other.

The scene came so suddenly that Lu Yinzhao slammed on the brakes and hurriedly hid behind a bush, leaving only his eyes visible.

He clutched his wildly beating heart.

What... what kind of story is this...?

That's my older brother's...girlfriend?

Lu Yinzhao calmed down a bit and suddenly realized that he had overreacted.

Lu Yinzhao is 10 years old this year, so Lu Xun is naturally 31 years old.

Although most celebrities in the entertainment industry don't think about their personal issues too early and prioritize their careers, that doesn't mean his older brother should do the same.

Now his older brother is also a three-time Golden Horse Award winner, and has won a lot of other film awards. He is doing very well in the industry and is very stable.

At this stage, Lu Yinzhao felt it was perfectly fine to consider dating or something like that.

He saw that the two of them were just silently embracing each other, without doing anything else.

He couldn't help but clench his little fists behind the bushes and mutter to himself.

"Give me a kiss... What are you doing, bro? Girls are shy, can't you be a little more proactive... Tsk tsk..."

"Lu Yinzhao, what are you doing hiding here?"

Bian Ji's voice startled Lu Yinzhao. Before Lu Yinzhao could pull Bian Ji behind the bushes, Lu Xun, who was not far away, spotted them.

The two, who had been embracing, separated instantly. The girl turned her face to the side, her cheeks seemingly flushed.

"Zhaozhao? Xiaoji?"

Lu Xun exclaimed in surprise.

They've been discovered...

Lu Yinzhao could only walk out helplessly, adjust his expression, and give his older brother a bright smile.

"Big brother, you're back! I missed you so much!"

As she spoke, she rushed over and hugged Lu Xun tightly.

While they were hugging, he couldn't help but steal glances at the woman next to him.

Lu Xun coughed lightly, a little embarrassed. "Ahem... Zhao Zhao, this is Li Xu. You should call her sister."

"Zhaozhao, hello, I am Li Xu. Xu is the Xu in soft whisper. You can call me Sister Xu."

Li Xu gently bent down, her voice soft and friendly.

Lu Yinzhao's eyes swept back and forth between the two.

She whispered in her older brother's ear, "Are you sure you should call her 'sister' and not 'sister-in-law'?"

These words made Lu Xun's neck turn bright red instantly, and he choked several times.

"..." Lu Xun never expected that Zhao Zhao would see this.

He originally intended to gradually introduce Xiaoxu to his family.

"Zhaozhao, you can only call me that after your brother and sister get married."

"Oh, I see~"

Lu Xun felt inexplicably awkward listening to her youngest brother speaking in a deliberately ambiguous tone.

He and Li Xu had actually been dating for more than half a year, but they had never told their families.

Previously, neither of them was sure about their relationship and worried that it wasn't strong enough to last.

As they spent more time together, their relationship gradually warmed up. Lu Xun felt that he and Li Xu had an exceptionally good rapport and felt comfortable with each other, and that she was indeed the person he wanted to spend his life with.

Only after he firmly resolved to take this idea home did he dare to bring Xiaoxu home.

"Big brother, what are you standing there for? Quickly invite Sister Xu into our home for a seat and a cup of tea."

Lu Xun snapped out of her daze and took Li Xu's hand, "Let's go in."

"Oh well……"

Lu Yinzhao watched the two figures disappear into the house, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.

His older brother was clearly a lifelong single, and this was his first time dating, so he was completely flustered and needed his younger brother to guide him through the process.

This family really can't do without him!

Bian Ji, who had long since become invisible, thought: "..."

The eldest brother of the Lu family already has a girlfriend. What is his eldest brother good for?

Bian Ji: My brother is really useless. [Shrugs]

Bian Nan: ? [Question mark]
