Lian Jin had initially thought that Qin Xi'er's words had finally struck a chord with him, but Lin Youyou's explanation completely ruined his good mood.
"Hehe, Youyou, as long as you like it, that's good. It's a blessing for my cousin to have another daughter."
Qin Xi'er couldn't continue talking to Lin Youyou about this, and awkwardly said, "It's really her cousin's good fortune. This is the daughter who will take care of him in his old age."
Thinking of this, Qin Xi'er couldn't help but chuckle. She secretly glanced at her cousin, whose face was ashen, and teased him:
"Cousin, you'll be the one who benefits from having someone take care of you in your old age."
Lian Jin glanced at her indifferently, his expression unfriendly, but Qin Xi'er was not afraid of him at all. She had always known that her cousin was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so she was never afraid of Lian Jin.
That was the end of it, and for a long time afterward, Lin Youyou called Lian Jin "Dad".
After Lin Youyou and Lian Jin had almost finished getting along, everyone planned to return to China. However, Lin Youyou absolutely refused to go back. She felt that she hadn't even started having fun yet, and it would be a waste to come all this way.
Finally, after all attempts to dissuade them failed, they spent another three days in Q country, naturally choosing to stay away from the beach and enjoy the local tourist attractions.
During this time, everyone was together, and Shen Xingmian's honeymoon trip was essentially ruined.
"Dad, come quick, I want to take a picture with you."
Lin Youyou waved excitedly at Lian Jin and patted Qin Xier on the shoulder, saying, "Take a picture of me and Daddy."
Qin Xi'er: "......"
I really want to ask, how did you manage to shout it out so effortlessly without any psychological pressure?
Lian Jin didn't want to go over, but Lin Youyou wouldn't let him go. She ran over, grabbed Lian Jin's arm, made a gesture, and then looked at the camera, "Xi'er, take a picture quickly."
Qin Xi'er reluctantly pressed the shutter. It was indeed a good photo, and Lian Jin's unnaturalness and disdain were very obvious.
Today is the last day of their trip. They are in a famous town in Q country. There is a high mountain here. The houses at the foot of the mountain are all red. The small houses with courtyards are arranged in an orderly manner at the foot of the mountain. The mountaintop is very close to the sky, which gives people a very relaxing feeling, as if they can reach out and touch the sky.
Qin Xier also took many solo photos of Lin Youyou and Nanzhi. Of course, Nanzhi also dragged Shen Xingmian to take a few group photos as a memento.
Finally, Qin Xi'er felt a strange sense of being the only single person in her life, as if she were there to take couple photos for others.
The next day, the group of five boarded a plane back to China.
Upon arriving in the capital, they all returned to their respective homes.
Nanzhi brought back many gifts. After the two put down their luggage, Nanzhi took the gifts and went to the place where Old Shen lived.
The old man has been in a great mood lately, simply because he no longer has to worry about his grandson's marriage.
They spend their time playing with birds nearby and playing chess with old friends, leading increasingly comfortable lives.
Seeing Shen Xingmian and his wife return made him even happier. During dinner, he thoughtfully reminded them when they were planning to have children.
Nan Zhi felt embarrassed; she was very shy about bringing this up in public.
Shen Xingmian, in a rather good mood, spoke with Old Master Shen:
"It will be within the next two years, you will definitely be able to wait."
Old Shen chuckled, so excited that wrinkles appeared on his face. "Of course, the sooner the better."
She then turned her gaze to Nanzhi, "Don't you think so, Zhizhi?"
Nanzhi: "..."
She lowered her head and secretly reached under the table to pinch Shen Xingmian's thigh as punishment.
Shen Xingmian quietly took her hand, her face calm.
“Zhizhi, my goddaughter will be coming to visit during the summer vacation. She’s a good girl. Could you take her out to play for me? Invite your friends along too. There’s no need to be too reserved.”
Old Shen thought of the phone call Xu Yao had made a couple of days ago, and mentioned it to Nan Zhi.
With a month left before summer vacation, Mr. Shen thought it would be good for the young people to get along and develop their friendships.
Nan Zhi was unaware that Old Master Shen had a goddaughter. She looked up at Shen Xingmian in confusion, but the man touched his nose, clearly knowing.
Nan Zhi glared at him secretly. Shen Xingmian was actually quite wronged. He didn't care about Xu Yao at all.
So he began to speak:
"Grandpa, see if Zhizhi has time. If not, let her play by herself."
Upon hearing this, Old Shen didn't intend to make things difficult for Nanzhi. Just as he was about to nod and speak, Nanzhi said with a smile:
"Grandpa, no problem, I don't have anything major to do during the summer vacation."
The competition isn't until September, so she can take her goddaughter with her to play in July.
Old Master Shen was naturally delighted. "That's good. If you're too busy, there's no need to worry about her. Your own business is more important."
The old man was considerate of her in every way, and Nanzhi was naturally not a heartless person. She felt that entertaining one person was a small matter, and that she could invite Lin Youyou and Qin Xier along to make it lively without being awkward.
After finishing their meal and saying goodbye to the elderly, the two walked back to the villa.
On the way, Shen Xingmian hesitated several times before speaking. Nan Zhi looked at him strangely and stopped. "Is there something you want to say?"
Shen Xingmian: "......"
After a long silence, he finally said:
"You probably don't know who Grandpa's goddaughter is, which is why you agreed so readily."
I could tell from his words...
"I still know your god-sister?"
