Xiang Ling did not sleep at Su Luyang's house that night. He was confident that Deng Yan could take good care of Xiang Qi, but Xiang Qi had no experience of spending the night alone in a strange place away from her parents or brother.

Without familiar people around, little Xiang Qi would still be scared.

When Xiang Ling returned to Deng Yan's place, he first coaxed his sister to sleep before going to the living room to talk to Deng Yan.

Since Deng Yan knew everything, Xiang Ling did not hide anything and explained everything that had happened before in detail.

The point is, the little boy is actually Su Luyang's junior, and the two of them are together to learn how to cook. In parentheses, this dish is made for him. In short, there is no affair and no cheating!

Su Lvyang hadn't told him that he was staying in China because of his weird parents. They had a good relationship and there was nothing wrong with it. Su Lvyang was also a very good person and wouldn't go behind his back to gossip with his parents.

Deng Yan listened to the whole mess and concluded with a strange look on his face: "Xiang Xiaotian, you're done."

Xiang Ling: "Huh?"

Deng Yan said, "Don't you realize that you've already failed?"

Xiang Ling was puzzled: "What the hell, I don't understand."

Deng Yan said, "Haven't you noticed? You've gone from 'caring more about your own feelings' to 'caring more about Su Luyang's feelings.' Put yourself in his shoes. If I had encountered the same thing as you, I would never have been able to calm down so quickly, forgive my boyfriend, and even make excuses for him in front of others."

Xiang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that it seemed to be true.

"At least at first, I'd get carried away and lose my mind, refusing to listen no matter how the other person explained," Deng said. "It would definitely take me some time to calm down before I could accept him approaching me again. But look at you, you just walked out of the supermarket and you rushed to hug Su Luyang and even chased us away."

Xiang Ling smiled awkwardly.

"Don't tell me I didn't see it. You were definitely more distressed than angry at the time," Deng said. "I've only ever seen this kind of emotion before, when my mom or my teacher spanked me. It was a mixture of anger and heartache."

Xiang Ling said weakly: "It's still a little different, I'm not his mother..."

Huh? No, it seems... yes?

Deng added, "Many couples, faced with this kind of situation, would lose their composure, arguing furiously, their impulses outweighing their rationality. But you quickly moved past that stage because you cared more about whether Su Lvyang was sad and why. You even instantly bought into the idea of ​​learning to cook. Most couples wouldn't buy into this when they're angry."

"What do you mean by learning to cook? How can you believe a man's words so quickly?" Deng Yan said, "This is the same as being a brother or sister, okay? Men's words are lies. Xiang Xiaotian, are you finished?"

Xiang Ling was almost persuaded by Deng Yan.

Finally, Deng Yan's tone suddenly took a turn for the worse: "But I don't think Su Luyang is cheating, because his attention was focused on the fish at the time, and had nothing to do with the boy next to him. It's that boy who has some problems."

Xiang Ling said, "His name is Jiang Yi, and he's from our school. He met Su Luyang during his exchange program in the United States. He's going back to school next semester."

Deng Yan raised his eyebrows, but the two of them didn't intend to say much about this matter that had no source, so they just mentioned it and let it go.

Having said that he wanted to take Su Luyang to Serbia to celebrate the New Year, and since there was no need to go to the United States for a trip, Xiang Ling booked a ticket to Serbia two days later that day.

The day before departure, because they did not live together, Su Luyang anxiously sent a message to Xiang Ling asking if his sister would be unhappy since he had not even said a word to her since it was the first time he saw her.

Xiang Ling said it was a minor problem and there was no need to worry, and directly sent a photo.

It was a crayon drawing of... a person? Su Luyang looked at it for a long time, then pondered for a long time before pretending to be blind and replying.

Su Luyang: Wow, my sister is really talented. Is that me she drew? So cool, it looks exactly like me.

Xiang Ling: [Hehe.jpg]

Xiang Ling: The day she met you, she went home and kept saying that she had a burst of inspiration and wanted to paint a portrait for you.

Su Luyang: My sister is so cute [seal applause.gif]

Xiang Ling: Don’t worry.

Su Luyang was relieved, but still very nervous.

Meeting the parents is no joke.

So in the middle of the night, Su Luyang sent another message to Xiang Ling, asking what gifts his uncle and aunt would like.

Xiang Ling replied: Bring the head to see him.

Su Luyang became even more panicked.

Xiang Ling was speechless and said that they had everything they needed, and it was too troublesome to take gifts abroad and bring them back, so there was no need to bother.

Su Luyang still felt that it would be very impolite not to give anything as a gift, so finally, under Xiang Ling's guidance, he bought a pair of pearl earrings, a set of travel painting supplies, and... a box of candy.

Su Luyang: Are you serious about the mouth-clearing candy? My uncle's gift only costs ten yuan. Are you serious?

Xiang Ling: My dad has diabetes and is not allowed to eat sweets, but he is greedy. If you give him this, I guarantee he will immediately treat you as his own son.

Su Luyang: ...

Su Luyang: Then I’d better not give it to you, for the sake of my uncle’s health.

Xiang Ling: [Hahaha] My mother will definitely like you very much.

Su Luyang: [shyly] Really?

Xiang Ling: If you don’t buy candy, it doesn’t matter what you buy him. For him, there are only two kinds of gifts: one is sweets, and the other is everything else.

Su Luyang felt a little headache and even had the urge to back out.

But the boarding day finally arrived, and Su Luyang stood at the airport pulling his suitcase, feeling extremely melancholy.

Deng Yujia and Su Luyang rented houses in different directions, so they agreed to meet at the airport. Not long after Su Luyang arrived, Xiang Ling and others arrived.

Su Luyang stood there and looked at a little kid in a red cloak running towards him.

He appeared to be smiling and calm, but he was actually very panicked.

So nervous.

When Xiang Qi was about to run to him, Su Luyang squatted down to greet him. He wanted to open his arms to hug her, but he was afraid that hugging her on the first contact would be too intimate and the child would not accept it. Unexpectedly, Xiang Qi threw herself into his arms first, hugged his neck and shouted, "Little Brother Su!"

Voice-controlled Mr. Xiao Su immediately started exploding fireworks in his mind.

Soft, sticky, a little vague, but super cute accent! Brother Su hugged Xiang Qi and couldn't help wanting to shed tears. What should I do if the little one is too cute!

Xiang Qi and Xiang Ling look very similar, especially their facial features, eyes, nose, mouth and ears, which seem to be carved from the same mold.

Su Luyang's heart melted. This was a living young female version of Xiang Ling. He could actually hold such an adorable creature in his arms in his lifetime. Even if he died now, it would be OJBK.

"Hello, sister." Su Luyang tried his best to make his tone less obscene.

International flights check-in is earlier than domestic flights, so they arrived at the airport more than three hours early. Deng Yan and his wife came to see them off, and Su Luyang only just realized that Deng Yan and Xiang Ling were related.

It was still early, and they sat and chatted in the airport cafe.

Xiang Qi is truly a combination of the ultimate face lover and a little heartless. No matter where she is or who she has a good relationship with before, she will always stick to the person with the best appearance at the scene.

When Su Luyang was not around, she stuck to Yao Chen. Now that she saw Su Luyang, she stuck to little brother Su and became his little tail.

She showed her painting to Su Luyang as if it were a treasure, and chatted with Su Luyang seriously, imitating an adult. Yao Chen and Xiang Ling, who were sitting next to her, were almost jealous to death.

The sour time passed quickly. At the appointed time, Xiang Ling and his friends said goodbye to Deng Yan and his wife, went through security check and boarded the plane.

There is no direct flight from here to Serbia. The flight they booked requires a transfer in Paris, with a stop at Charles de Gaulle Airport for about five hours before flying to Serbia. Barring any accidents, the flight will take about twenty hours.

After a long journey, we arrived at eight o'clock in the morning local time.

Before arriving, Xiang Ling briefly introduced his aunt's family to Su Luyang. Xiang Ling's father's generation had only two children, and Xiang's father was the younger brother. The relationship between the siblings was harmonious.

When my aunt was studying in college, she went to Serbia as an exchange student, and she met her true love there. After graduation, they got married and settled in Serbia.

After Xiang Ling's grandparents passed away a few years ago, Xiang Ling and his family basically spent the New Year at his aunt's house. One reason was to reunite with the family, and another was to avoid unnecessary "social engagements" back home.

"My family is a bit wealthy, so there are always a lot of people coming during the Chinese New Year. No matter if we know each other or not, we have to join in the fun," Xiang Ling said. "But for my family, the Chinese New Year is a day for family reunion and gathering. Why spend time with those strangers? We see them all the time, so we just avoid them if we can."

Su Luyang, who had always had a nightmare about Chinese New Year since childhood, was a little envious: "Your family is so nice."

Xiang Ling hugged Su Luyang lovingly (?): "This will be your home from now on."

Xiang Ling's uncle is a local who originally only knew Serbian and English. However, after marrying his aunt, he began to consciously learn Chinese and now has no problem with basic communication.

After Xiang Ling and his friends got off the plane, Xiang Ling's uncle came to pick them up.

My uncle's name is Dicky. He has a typical Yugoslav build and is very tall, much taller than Su Luyang. Su Luyang felt a little oppressed when he looked at him.

But Dicky was a funny and humorous person, very warm to Su Luyang, and did not give any impression of being ferocious at all. Su Luyang also had his own way of dealing with people, and after chatting for a few sentences, the two of them got along as naturally as friends.

As they drove along, Su Luyang found that they were gradually moving away from the city. When they reached the suburbs, what came into view were endless forests and fields, and countless exquisite wooden houses.

Xiang Ling saw Su Luyang was a little surprised, then he remembered that he hadn't introduced himself. "My aunt and uncle have a farm and orchard. They are self-sufficient in food and drink. It's very beautiful there, I'm sure you will like it."

Dickie also said: "It's a pity that there are no ripe fruits in the orchard now, but there is a ski resort next to the orchard. You can ask Ling to take you skiing when the time comes."

"Yes, Brother Su." Xiang Qi held Su Luyang's hand, "We can build a snowman together!"

Serbia is still freezing in February, with the lowest temperature dropping below zero and the highest never exceeding double digits. However, February is not the rainy season, which makes it convenient for them to have fun here.

The house of Dicky and Xiang Ling's aunt Xiang Yaya is a classic and unique wooden house. Walking out of the wooden house is their farm and orchard. There is also a lake on the farm. Xiang Ling said that when the weather gets colder, the lake will be completely frozen and you can go ice skating on it.

When they arrived, Xiang Yaya and Xiang Ling's parents were not in the cabin. Dicky said they should be working in the orchard, so he asked Xiang Ling and the others to rest first, and then he went to the orchard alone to look for them.

Dicky's wooden house has three floors. Perhaps to accommodate relatives and friends, there are three guest rooms. Xiang Ling took Su Luyang to a room on the second floor, and then took Xiang Qi's luggage to the top floor.

After packing up Xiang Qi's things and coaxing Xiang Qi, who was already exhausted, to sleep, Xiang Ling returned to the second floor and found that Su Luyang had already packed up his things and was resting on the edge of the bed.

"Why don't you help me clean up?" Xiang Ling said.

Su Luyang was surprised: "You're sleeping with me?"

Xiang Ling raised his eyebrows: "What if I go outside and sleep next to the cow?"

Su Luyang blushed a little: "Your parents are here, it's not good for us to sleep next to each other."

Xiang Ling sneered: "You're not saying it now. Why weren't you so polite when you wanted to sleep with me before?"
