Chapter 50 Meeting the In-Laws
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her pupils illuminated by golden light, brightly reflecting the splendor of the sunset glow.
The warmth from her fingers continuously flowed through her palms to his heart, and he felt as if the invisible net wrapped around his heart had been broken.
His actions were faster than his brain, and he raised his arms to pull her in.
Looking up, the sun was rising, its light penetrating through the clouds. The huge crack across the sky seemed to be inspired by the tentacles of hope, breaking through obstacles and dispelling the darkness.
Su Mi leaned on his shoulder, feeling the warm sun, and at the same time, a burning sensation came over her wrist.
She looked down and saw the location of the red bracelet. Could it be that the bell was about to ring?
She stared at the little bell without blinking, even holding her breath, waiting, expecting to hear some sound.
The bell didn't ring, but Xiao Xuanjin's voice was heard, his voice hoarse, "Susu, tomorrow... is the anniversary of my grandfather's death."
Su Mi looked at him in surprise. He had never mentioned it before. Even when she asked him that day, he didn't explain in detail.
But now I am willing to bring it up on my own initiative.
"I come here every year at this time because my grandfather loved this place when he was alive, so I want to come back and visit it on his behalf."
Su Mi listened quietly on the side.
"For so many years, I have been doing this alone, but I didn't expect that you would join me this year."
At this point, he smiled, his smile bright and warm in the sunlight, "Seeing you sneak over here, I was actually more surprised than surprised."
Hearing this, Su Mi raised his chin and snorted, "As expected, you are just saying one thing and doing another."
He acted so coldly when she arrived, which made her worry that she would be driven away.
Xiao Xuanjin stroked her hair intermittently with his large palm. "So...are you leaving today?"
Su Mi looked at the bell on her wrist, which still hadn't rung, and asked, "Can I stay?"
"My parents are coming over today. You can stay if you want. It's a good opportunity to meet them."
What? Xiao's parents are coming, and tomorrow is the anniversary of Mr. Xiao's death, so they will definitely come to visit the grave.
Su Mi was in a trance when Xiao Xuanjin looked over and teased, "What? Are you afraid of meeting your parents-in-law?"
What in-laws?
Su Mi's face turned red and he turned his head away.
Sooner or later, the two of them are bound to break up, so there is really no need to meet their parents.
At least that's what Su Mi thinks now.
Xiao Xuanjin leaned over and observed her, "Don't worry, they are all good people. We will meet each other sooner or later. What are you afraid of?"
Su Mi didn't respond or refuse, and talked about other things, "I'm hungry, can you go and make me breakfast?"
Now the sun is high in the sky, a new day has begun, and it's time to have breakfast.
Xiao Xuanjin readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
Before leaving, he reminded her, "Be good and wait for me."
Su Mi smiled and nodded.
Wait until Xiao Xuanjin goes out.
Su Mi went to the bathroom to wash up first. While brushing his teeth, he was still communicating with the system in his mind, "What's going on? Why is there still no sound?"
The little gorilla seemed to be wondering what the problem was. […Host, don't worry, I'll look through the information first.]
Su Mi looked at herself in the mirror, still wondering, "I can feel the temperature of the bracelet, but it didn't make any noise. Could it be that Xiao Xuanjin still has some concerns?"
【Host, please be patient. 】
How could Su Mi not be anxious? She had finally arrived now, and she had to speed up. The longer it took, the more she was afraid that she would not be able to distinguish between the mission and reality.
"Xiao Xing, you were the one who said the possibility was very high this time. If this doesn't work, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future."
[Host, the specific results still depend on the situation. This is not absolute.]
[Wait, host, I found out...]
"What's the reason?" Su Mi's heart was startled and he stopped washing his face.
[The key to the ringing of the bell is not only the penetration of the fire of love, but also the blessing of anger.]
"What? Rage?"
[Yes, theoretically speaking, a person's love or hate is best reflected when they are angry. If they can control their emotions for you even when they are angry, it means that they must love you terribly.]
Su Mi rolled his eyes and wiped his face clean, "Do you think I'm stubborn?"
She was so scared of jumping on Xiao Xuanjin's sore spot.
[Host, there's no other option now. We can only bite the bullet and do it.]
"Isn't it time for me to start living in fear even though it's not the final showdown with him yet?"
【Host, don't worry, I will protect you. 】
Su Mi was very depressed. When Xiao Xuanjin came in, he saw her lying on the table, drawing circles on it with the pen cap.
"Are you so hungry that you can't even straighten your back?" Xiao Xuanjin joked.
Su Mi pouted, "Why are you so slow? If you were any later, I would have eaten the table."
Xiao Xuanjin chuckled, "It seems your teeth are in good condition."
As he said that, he placed the plate in front of her. Su Mi glanced at it and saw millet porridge, tea eggs, milk, pan-fried buns, beef patties, and a few stir-fried vegetables and meats.
She licked her lips and said, "I want to eat eggs."
He said that, but didn't move at all. He just looked at Xiao Xuanjin with tears in his eyes. His meaning was very clear: peel it for me.
Xiao Xuanjin sat down next to her and said in a low voice, "You're so lazy."
Having said that, he still picked up the egg and started peeling it.
The shattered shell fell between his slender fingers.
Su Mi rested her head on her arm and looked at him, her mouth very sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work, boyfriend."
His voice was lazy. "Do you need me to feed you?"
"That's not necessary." Su Mi sat up, took the egg from his hand and ate it in small bites.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her bulging cheeks and placed the milk in front of her with a smile, "After dinner, go to the bedroom and have a good rest. I'll go get my parents over."
Su Mi lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and then answered, "Oh."
"If you want to go with me, it's not impossible."
Seeing that she was not interested, Xiao Xuanjin thought it was because she was dissatisfied with being left here, so he took the initiative to suggest going together.
Su Mi was drinking milk. As soon as she swallowed it, she immediately said, "No, I didn't sleep last night. I better catch up on some sleep."
"That's fine, I'll be back when you wake up."
"Um."
After dinner, Xiao Xuanjin set off.
Su Mi watched him leave the villa and immediately started to change clothes.
It was the same set of clothes I wore yesterday, and now it had been washed very clean.
After changing her clothes, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
The system asks [Host, don't you want to stay and meet his parents? ]
"What the hell? No matter what happens now, I will always be the bad woman who betrayed their son. There's really no need for such a meeting."
【Why don’t you say hello to him? 】
"You told me to piss him off, right? Now I have the chance. I have to try my luck! He'll definitely be angry when he comes back and sees I'm not here."
