Chapter 104 Little Zhao Zhao (Gossip Girl)
"You forgot your things."
Bian Ji handed the schoolbag in his hand to Lu Yinzhao.
He chased after Lu Yinzhao just to deliver something, but he didn't expect to stumble upon Lu's eldest brother's gossip.
He decided not to get involved, shoved the bag into Lu Yinzhao's hand, and turned to leave.
"Thank you, Brother Aji. I... I'll come to your house again in a while," Lu Yinzhao said.
The real reason is that he has more important things to do now.
He was so curious about his older brother's dating situation!
"I'm leaving. Go inside now." Bian Ji turned his back, waved his hand casually, and left in the opposite direction.
Lu Yinzhao, carrying her little schoolbag, ran happily into her villa, her eyes full of anticipation.
Brother and sister-in-law, I'm here!
"Xiaoxu, please sit down first, I'll pour you some water."
In the living room, Li Xu sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa, her legs together, her two slender hands clutching her skirt, unsure of what to do with them.
When Lu Yinzhao came in, he saw Li Xu alone in the living room; her older brother had gone to get water.
So he took the initiative to step forward and called out, "Sister Xu."
Li Xu had always known about the Lu family's kid; she had even watched Lu Yinzhao's variety show back then.
I never imagined that one day... I would be able to get together with this child's brother.
What a coincidence!
"Zhao Zhao." She smiled politely.
"Sister Xu, why don't you stay for dinner later?" Lu Yinzhao wanted to spend more time with this beautiful woman and ask her some questions.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no need, I'll just sit for a while and then leave."
"No, Sister Xu, we're already here."
Lu Yinzhao felt that he couldn't rely on his older brother, so he simply used the most basic and unpretentious method of a child.
He tugged at Li Xu's sleeve and said sweetly, "Sister Xu, you're so pretty. I want you to play with me. Don't leave yet, okay?"
No one in the family could resist Zhaozhao's cuteness and coquettishness.
The little brat can easily soften a person's heart by staring at them with his big, bright eyes.
Lu Xun walked over with a water glass and happened to see this scene.
My younger brother shamelessly grabbed his girlfriend, preventing her from leaving.
"Zhaozhao, you can't do this," Lu Xun said helplessly, but dared not say anything harsh.
Li Xu smiled and patted Lu Xun's arm. "It's okay, Zhao Zhao is very cute, I like him very much."
Lu Yinzhao hid behind Li Xu, then quickly peeked out and stuck out her tongue at Lu Xun, out of Li Xu's sight.
"..."
This little thing... how come it's become so cunning after not seeing it for a while?
"Sister Xu, how did you and my older brother meet?"
Seeing that Li Xu had compromised and no longer intended to leave immediately, Lu Yinzhao began his "little task".
With no one else in the family home, as the first person to meet his older brother's girlfriend, he had to find out about her background for them, right?
There's nothing wrong with talking about this.
Li Xu answered proactively: "Your brother and I graduated from the same university. I knew him when I was in school. He was quite famous there."
"Really?" Lu Yinzhao blinked her gossipy eyes.
His gaze swept over Lu Xun again, as if seeking confirmation.
Lu Xun sat down and nodded: "I'm three years ahead of her. I'm in the acting department, and she's in the dance department."
"Wow~" Lu Yinzhao opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of laughter.
"Sister Xu, are you working in the entertainment industry like my older brother?"
Many actors studied dance in college and were selected because of their outstanding appearance.
This time, Lu Xun took the initiative to answer for Li Xu: "She is the principal dancer of the Xingbei City Song and Dance Troupe. She is an artist and not entirely in the industry, but she is occasionally invited to participate in variety shows."
"Your older brother and I met again during a TV program."
Seeing the love in his older brother's eyes as he looked at Sister Xu, Lu Yinzhao felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
Lu Xun and Li Xu met briefly at their alma mater years ago, but lost contact after graduation. Years later, they met again and sparks flew between them.
As Lu Yinzhao listened to the two recount their story, he immediately thought of moving the Civil Affairs Bureau over there.
He completely agrees to this marriage!
"Big brother, you and Sister Xu are a perfect match. Even the first letters of your names are the same."
Lu Yinzhao gestured twice in the air, drawing an "L" and an "X".
"..." The two people in front of them froze at the same time.
Lu Xun and Li Xu had never thought about it from this perspective.
Children's perspectives and ways of thinking are truly...unique.
"Brother and sister, when are you getting married?"
"puff--"
"Cough cough—"
Li Xu spat out a mouthful of water, and Lu Xun choked on his own water again.
"This... there's no rush."
Zhao Zhao is truly a child who speaks without restraint, giving them no room for tact and asking so frankly.
Seeing that both of their faces were slowly turning red, Lu Yinzhao knew that the matter was probably not far from being resolved.
...
After that, Li Xu stayed for a meal.
The three of them also played VR sports games together in front of the TV, enjoying an immersive workout right in the living room.
When he finally left, Lu Xun still drove him there.
Lu Yinzhao stayed at home obediently.
"Sister Xu, bye-bye! Come visit me again next time!"
"Okay, Zhao Zhao, I'll bring you a gift next time."
Lu Yinzhao watched the two get into the car, guessing that couples in the throes of new love would linger for ages when dropping each other off at home.
He checked the time and guessed that his older brother wouldn't be back before 11 p.m.
I was about to remind his older brother to watch out for paparazzi and not be photographed without his consent when I saw the car had already driven away.
"Big brother is really impatient..." Lu Yinzhao muttered as he returned home.
He quickly pounced on the sofa, grabbed his tablet, and started frantically spreading messages in the group chat.
[Zhaozhao]: Breaking news! Breaking news! Big brother is dating!
[Zhaozhao]: Extra! Extra! Big brother brought his girlfriend home!
[Zhaozhao]: Breaking news! Breaking news! Congratulations to the big brother for finding love!
After a flurry of comments, even without tagging all members, everyone in the Lu family saw it.
[Lu Cheng]:! ! !
[Lu Qi]: What's going on? I have no idea!
[Lu Yuan]: Big brother hid it too well, not letting a word out.
[Yin Song]: Wouldn't that mean Zhao Zhao would be the first to see it?
[Lu Wenyan]: Hahahaha! Boss is so career-minded, I thought he wouldn't figure it out until he was forty!
[Lu Cheng]: Big brother, isn't your wife pretty? @Lu Xun
[Lu Qi]: Brother, what does your wife do? @Lu Xun
[Lu Yuan]: Bro, where is everyone? @Lu Xun
...
Seeing the lively chatter in the group chat, Lu Yinzhao was beaming with joy.
His older brother probably doesn't have time to look at his phone right now.
After spreading the news, Lu Yinzhao gracefully disappeared.
These are questions that the eldest brother will have to answer for the family himself.
Sigh, the first older brother I met when I first came into this world was Lu Xun...
In the blink of an eye, that handsome young man from back then is now in his thirties and of marriageable age.
After being happy for his older brother, Lu Yinzhao felt a strange sense of loneliness welling up inside him.
He is the youngest in the family, and there is a significant age gap between him and his older brothers and sisters.
As he grows up, he will inevitably witness his family gradually walk towards their own happy home.
Lu Yinzhao hopes that everyone can find their true love and achieve happiness.
But he thought, if that day really came, he would definitely cry his eyes out...
I'm so reluctant to leave them.
If the older siblings are all married, then they'll come back to this house even less often... right?
Amidst this mix of joy and sorrow, Lu Yinzhao gradually drifted off to sleep.
When Lu Xun drove home, he saw Zhao Zhao sleeping soundly on the sofa with a small belly sticking out.
He smiled helplessly yet indulgently, and tiptoed over to carry the boy back to the bedroom.
*
In the following month, the rest of the family members made time to come back.
They also met Lu Xun's beautiful girlfriend.
The Lu family members are all easy to get along with. Li Xu was initially very nervous, but after meeting them once, she completely relaxed.
Neither of them was in a rush to get married and wanted to spend more time together.
Lu Wenyan and Yin Song were not in a hurry to urge them. They had always advocated freedom of marriage, and their children's personal matters were decided by themselves.
If you've truly made up your mind, don't regret it.
...
In June, the weather began to get warmer.
Lu Yinzhao returned to Bian Ji's house and stayed there.
On weekends, he would sit on a cool bed in the courtyard, eating watermelon and listening to Bian Ji practicing the piano inside the house, feeling completely at ease.
I finished my homework during the break time at school.
Lu Yinzhao is now used to finishing her homework at school and then lying down when she gets home.
That would be in line with the level of his university degree.
He was watching short videos while eating melon seeds when he suddenly came across a familiar figure.
They even stopped eating the melons.
The boy in the video is wearing a sharp black suit. His violin playing is elegant and skillful. When he draws the bow, his hair sways slightly, and he exudes an air of nobility.
The boy is playing the violin with his eyes closed, and the angle of the camera perfectly shows his profile.
"Brother, your competition video has been posted online!"
Lu Yinzhao shouted to the person practicing the piano inside the room.
The music stopped abruptly, and the boy came out.
Seeing the content on the tablet, Bian Ji said nonchalantly, "It's been two months, so let it be posted."
"One minute... I need to know all the information about this young man."
"Isn't he a beautiful boy straight out of a manga?"
"He looks like a high school student. Does anyone know which school he goes to?"
"I saw it first, and no one is allowed to take it from me!!"
Lu Yinzhao read the comments with great interest, sometimes even adding exaggerated intonation.
“…” Three black lines appeared on Bian Ji’s forehead.
"It's getting a bit sunny outside, let's not sit here, let's go inside."
Bian Ji took Lu Yinzhao's tablet, exited the short video, and went straight back into the house.
"oh."
Lu Yinzhao picked up the plate full of watermelon rinds and followed along happily.
"Brother, you should take a break too. You've been playing all morning."
Lu Yinzhao approached Bian Ji and earnestly massaged his shoulders and legs.
He was just making a little joke, and now that Bian Ji has confiscated his tablet, he doesn't know if the other person is angry.
“I recently recorded a few songs in my teacher’s studio, which I plan to include in my upcoming EP,” Bian Ji suddenly changed the subject.
Lu Yinzhao's eyes lit up, "Brother Aji, you're finally going to release a song!"
