Lu Chuqing took the bus home after class.

She hadn't been live-streaming for two nights, and she was thinking of quickly going back to pack up and prepare her equipment.

However, Lu Ying did not tell her that Xi Jun had arrived.

Then, when she opened the door, she immediately saw an adult couple kissing passionately on the sofa.

Seriously, she'd lived two lives, and this was the first time she'd ever seen someone kiss in person.

And their kiss was so innocent and sweet, their hands clasped tightly together.

The woman leaned back against the sofa, and the man leaned in to seduce her.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, a mixture of innocence and desire.

The two people were jolted awake by the sound of the door opening and were forced to separate.

Not to mention Xi Yun's face was completely red, Lu Ying's cheeks were also flushed and her eyes were like water.

Both of them were momentarily embarrassed.

Lu Chuqing was also taken aback and didn't react in time. She actually wanted to turn around and leave as if she hadn't seen anything, but the people over there had already separated, and the two of them stood up, feeling very awkward.

"Qingqing is back," Lu Ying said first.

"Mmm," Lu Chuqing responded.

“But it seems I came back at the wrong time,” she said truthfully.

Now the two of them were even more embarrassed, their faces turning redder than the other.

Now, even if Lu Chuqing wanted to leave, it was no longer appropriate, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.

Smelling the sweet aroma of durian, she saw several transparent takeout boxes on the coffee table. "Wow, so many pastries! Did Uncle Xi bring them?"

"Well, we had too many durians to eat, so I made some pastries and brought them over for you to try," Xi Jun replied with a light cough.

She took a cookie from the box that Lu Ying had opened, tasted it, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"It's delicious! It's exactly the same as the pastries I had at a certain store!"

Lu Chuqing took two more bites, genuinely finding it delicious.

"Uncle Xi is amazing! The pastries you made are so delicious! The pastries I ate at another store before were a bit dry, but these are just the right texture!"

Seeing that the young girl genuinely liked it, Xi Jun was also very happy. "I didn't make this. I just helped peel the durian. Qingxu made all the pastries."

Lu Ying was also surprised. "Qingxu did it all! This child is amazing!"

Xi Jun didn't downplay the boy's abilities, saying, "He has a strong learning ability; he found tutorials online and completed them in one go."

Lu Chuqing had already started tasting other pastries, and upon hearing the conversation, she felt even more admiration for her stepson, whom she had never met before.

She prioritizes her studies and is also good at making pastries.

That's really impressive.

She also heard Lu Ying say that he was very tall and good-looking, but thin.

She imagined in her mind figures who were tall, long-legged, incredibly good-looking, and covered in buffs.

Damn, he's the male protagonist of a novel!

But what was his name again?

Qingxu...Xi Qingxu...

That sounds familiar; where have I heard it before?

Xi Qingxu...first...

Lu Chuqing paused in her bite of durian pie, her eyes widening slightly.

She said she felt a sense of familiarity that day when they ate together. It turned out that this person was the one who competed with Lu Linqi for first place!

She suddenly felt like laughing.

Like Lu Linqi, he probably only heard of Xi Qingxu at school and didn't know him personally.

Now that this person has suddenly become her stepbrother, if Lu Linqi finds out, I don't know how interesting his face will be.

Her rival suddenly became the brother of her most beloved younger sister, and just thinking about this relationship gave her a headache.

Thinking about it this way, she really wanted to see what her stepson was really like.

Let her see who this arrogant second brother is, so she can see who he is.

It was probably after that kiss that day that Lu Ying and Xi Jun's relationship warmed up again, and they would meet up for dinner every night.

Lu Chuqing went twice, and then stopped going.

She was really too superfluous.

On the day of their first meal together, Xi Qingxu did not meet Lu Chuqing as her stepson, and he never appeared again afterward.

He wants to earn more money while his studies aren't too demanding, because he won't have as much time once he goes to high school.

He'll find a house to live alone once Xi Jun moves in with them.

One day, as summer vacation was drawing to a close, Lu Ying told her family about her relationship with Xi Jun.

Overnight, the entire family gathered at Lu Hang's large villa.

Lu Yongkang, "When did this happen?"

Lu Ying answered truthfully, "More than three months ago."

Lu Jun, "What's his name? Where's he from? Have you found out about his job and character?"

Lu Hang was also exasperated. "How much time has passed? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Looking at the group of male elders, Lu Chuqing saw that their faces were all growing increasingly grim, and she was too frightened to utter a sound.

Is this what you call it?

Ah yes! The oppressive feeling from my own father and brother.

Seeing her father and brother with stern faces, Lu Ying felt inexplicably wronged.

She just had a relationship, why are they all interrogating her like a criminal?

Besides, she's not some clueless little girl; she can see right through people!

"His name is Xi Jun. He's a local from the provincial capital and works at an internet company. His annual salary is about 300,000 yuan. He's very gentle, considerate, and upright. He's really good to me."

Seeing that her two older brothers both frowned at the same time after she finished speaking, Lu Ying felt aggrieved and blurted everything out.

“I know what else you want to ask, and I’ll tell you everything.”

“His family only owns an old house of less than 50 square meters in an old urban area of ​​the Second Ring Road. He doesn’t own a car. He’s the same age as me and has a son.”

"He doesn't have much savings either, because he was paying off debts for many years due to some special circumstances. His parents passed away early, and neither of them had any relatives."

"I don't drink, smoke, gamble, or play cards. I only have one friend I'm still in contact with, and he's my colleague. I don't have any other friends."

"He's tall, good-looking, can cook and do housework, doesn't like to buy things and doesn't spend money recklessly, but he's very generous to me. He's already given me all his cards to keep. He's a gentle and virtuous good man."

Lu Ying finished speaking in one breath, and before she could catch her breath, she heard her father and two older brothers say in unison.

"I disagree!"

Lu Yongkang: "Daughter, he doesn't have a car or a house, and he doesn't even have any savings!"

"He's over thirty and doesn't even have any savings. How can you tell if a man like that is reliable?"

Lu Ying knew his father's concerns and explained, "His family situation is special. They have been paying off debts for many years, and he has always had a hard life."

Hearing her words, Lu Jun's face turned even uglier.

In his view, his younger sister is now completely infatuated with men and has a super love-struck mind!

"You know he's paying off other people's debts, but don't you think about whether his creditors will come knocking on your door and causing trouble?"

The man's voice was deep, and Lu Ying felt very aggrieved, "He has already paid it all back."
