When Lu Nange, Gu Wan, Wen Qing, and Luo Xingyou finished getting ready and came out of the house, the courtyard was already bustling and leisurely.
Lu Jin, along with Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, He Zhuo, Shi Xu, Gu Qi, and others, lined up in a row by the pond, fishing with great flair.
For this "fishing trip," Lu Jin put in a lot of effort, from selecting new fishing rods to releasing a lot of delicious edible fish fry into the pond, keeping him busy for several days.
Sang Niannian led Xiao Wenying to work in the flowerbed at the other end of the yard.
She bought a lot of new flowers and plants and is patiently teaching the little one to identify them.
The little girl's innocent questions and Sang Niannian's gentle explanations drifted over from time to time, mingled with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants.
Lu Beiye didn't join in the fishing fun.
He sat in a rattan chair at the tea table, a book open in front of him, with Gangzi standing beside him, looking quite smug.
The two, one human and one bird, had their heads close together, and Lu Beiye's little mouth was moving as if they were "chatting".
He looked so serious; it's unclear what kind of academic discussion he was having with Gangzi.
Upon seeing Lu Nange and the others come out, Lu Beiye's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up: "Sister! Sister Wanwan! Sister Xingyou! Sister Wenqing!"
His shout drew the attention of everyone else in the courtyard.
Sang Niannian straightened up, smiled and waved to them: "You're all up? There's breakfast warming up in the kitchen for you. Go have a bite to tide you over, lunch will be served soon."
In the fishing area, the water surface shimmered with tiny sparkles in the sunlight.
Gu Qi held the fishing rod in his hand, his eyes seemingly focused on the float on the water's surface, but his body quietly leaned towards Chi Yanzhou and began to chirp softly.
"Hey, are you just going to keep this 'brother and sister' relationship going on like this? When are you going to finally tell Nan Nan the truth?"
Chi Yanzhou withdrew his gaze from Lu Nange, who was not far away, and returned it to his own float: "No rush. Let's wait a little longer."
"Still waiting?" Gu Qi's tone was full of disappointment and frustration.
"What are you waiting for? Wait until Nan Nan goes to Peking University to study... and then military training, coursework, and club activities fill her schedule, and you don't see her for ten days or half a month?"
"Yan-ge, there's no shortage of young, smart, and proactive guys in college. What if..."
“No.” Chi Yanzhou interrupted him, “She’s still young and hasn’t figured things out yet. I… won’t give anyone else a chance.”
Gu Qi was taken aback by his confident tone, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and even the fishing rod swayed.
"Sometimes, enlightenment happens in a flash, just like..."
He drawled out his words, glancing meaningfully at Chi Yanzhou's profile: "Just like some people back then, they were all caught off guard and left completely bewildered by the time they realized what was happening."
He nudged the spot with his elbow, his expression a mix of amusement and amusement.
"Besides, brother, I'm just trying to give you a friendly heads-up. Look at your godfather, look at Brother Ci, and look at this whole family..."
You want to 'kidnap' Nan Nan? That's difficult...tsk tsk, brother, your road ahead is long and fraught with difficulties.
Chi Yanzhou turned his head and glanced at him: "I can marry into your family."
Gu Qi: "Marry into the family?...How is that possible? Would your family agree to that?"
“Grandpa has agreed.” Chi Yanzhou turned back to the water.
"I just need to do what I'm supposed to do, stay by her side, and when she finally understands, she'll naturally see me."
Life has just settled down, and there are many things she wants to do, but she doesn't have any plans for them right now. If I bring it up now, it will only put her in a difficult position and backfire.
