"Yes, yes, I know, I know..."
Lu Yibei opened the door to room 404 while making a phone call.
After the National Day holiday, his grandmother on the other end of the phone was asking him with concern if he had arrived at school and to remind him to keep warm as the temperature dropped in October.
The elderly are prone to nagging, but that can also be a sign of their thoughtfulness.
…Although, in Lu Yibei's view, his grandmother's words seemed more like a plea for him to care about her granddaughter-in-law.
Qingqian, the heroine, naturally returned to school with Lu Yibei.
We should be almost at the girls' dormitory by now.
Surprisingly.
Although when they first got home, Qingqian and her grandfather would often stand there awkwardly looking at each other.
But after spending these few days together, their relationship was inexplicably improved.
Before returning to school, Lu Yibei helped the female warrior drag her suitcase down from the third floor and happened to hear her grandfather talking to her.
"I'll tell you about a unique skill of the Lu family—lightness skill."
Grandpa spoke in a tone reminiscent of a storyteller, while Grandma provided the commentary:
"He's talking nonsense again—"
"What do you know with only a primary school education?"
After expressing his disdain for Grandma's intellectual and cultural refinement, Grandpa said to the young woman from the prestigious university in a serious tone, "All you need to do is tie two three-kilogram sandbags to your legs, and then replace them with two six-kilogram ones next month. And the month after that, take them off, and you can run directly across the river in your hometown."
Grandma rolled her eyes at Grandpa, who had a stern expression, and then pulled Ji Qingqian aside to give her a warning:
"Don't listen to this old geezer's nonsense."
Grandpa snorted in dissatisfaction.
But Ji Qingqian listened with great interest.
After saying goodbye to his family, Lu Yibei smiled and asked Ji Qingqian:
Will it succeed?
Ji Qingqian nodded very seriously:
"It will succeed. My hometown is Harbin."
Her grandparents also knew she was from Northeast China.
Grandma overlooked this point.
It has nothing to do with how many kilograms of sandbags there are.
Three months later was the New Year. The temperature in Harbin was minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius. The river in front of Ji Qingqian's old home was frozen, so of course he could run across.
It's less about nimble footwork and more about a ridiculous, misleading joke...
The female knight-errant seems to share a strange affinity with her grandfather when it comes to humor.
Room 404 was one room short of four.
With Lu Yibei back, the family is complete.
Lu Yibei first tossed his schoolbag onto the cabinet, then placed a small box of tangerines on his desk.
Previously, the heroine Qingqian praised the bag of oranges that her grandfather bought as delicious.
After that, Grandpa went and bought two more small boxes.
Lu Yibei's grandson really benefited from this.
…but.
Lu Yibei glanced at the bright yellow tangerines and couldn't help but sigh to his grandmother:
"Grandpa bought way too much..."
The box wasn't big because it was afraid it would be difficult to carry, but it was packed full of things.
As soon as Lu Yibei finished speaking, three devilish claws reached out from behind him.
In a dazzling display of skill, one person took four or five pieces, eating and grabbing at the same time.
Lu Yibei: "...Huh? Your mom's playing dumb!"
His adopted sons had already quickly peeled the oranges, broken them open slightly, and stuffed most of one into their mouths in one go.
Liu Jie chewed on the juice, shouting into Lu Yibei's phone:
"Grandma, the oranges are so sweet!"
Zhao Xun and Fatty Hao also shouted, "Thank you, Grandma!"
As Lu Yibei listened to the old man's kind and gentle laughter on the other end of the phone, he gave the middle finger to his three good-for-nothing adopted sons.
We must also protect his remaining grain.
Outside of school, the Han-Manchu banquet wouldn't even give it a second glance.
Back in the dorm, instant noodles and sausages were a feast of delicacies.
That's exactly the situation we're in now.
Lu Yibei also managed to snag some spicy eel shreds, scallion pancakes and crab shell pastries that Fatty Hao brought back, as well as... uh, King of Kings sausages that Brother Jie brought back.
Liu Jie, who stayed in his dormitory throughout the holiday, finally saw his day come.
He sat alone on the fishing platform, laughing as if he were the supreme ruler:
"Sitting at home, delicious food comes from all directions. You truly are my beloved minister... You truly are my beloved minister... Hahahaha, oh dear, oh dear, be gentle."
Liu Jie was pinned down and spanked by the other three.
After outputting.
Lu Yibei said to Fatty Hao:
"Fatty, could you check my pitch when you have time?"
"What's wrong?" Fatty Hao asked, puzzled.
“Isn’t our department having a welcome party in the middle of the month? I’ve signed up to perform on stage,” Lu Yibei said.
"…no."
Liu Jie had just taken a bite of spicy eel strips, his mouth full of red oil, and he spoke somewhat indistinctly: "Lao Bei, why would you sign up for this kind of activity—you've changed, you've become a show-off, are you trying to pick up the freshmen girls?! This version of you feels so unfamiliar to me!"
After he choked on all the spicy eel strips, he continued his accusations:
"Does Junior Sister Ji know what you're doing?!"
Zhao Sun raised his hand to offer his opinion:
"Is it possible that Ji Qingqian is the new life?"
"...This is something I didn't expect."
Liu Jie then remembered, his face beaming, and he patted Lu Yibei's shoulder hard: "Keep it up."
"What song are you going to sing?" Fatty Hao asked.
Judging by pitch accuracy, singing is the only option... and for galas, singing is indeed the easiest performance to execute.
Lu Yibei sings "Moon Boat" a cappella:
Goodbye, Mom, I'm setting sail tonight~ Don't worry about me~ I have oars of joy and wisdom~~
"I acknowledge that you are a true citizen of Happy Planet."
Hao Zhangwen gave a thumbs up.
Liu Jie, however, pointed and gestured:
