Yu Yin's excited shouts attracted two children who were playing and ran over, not knowing what was going on.
"Mom, what are you shouting?"
"Mom, are you happy?"
"Yes, Mom is happy. Uncle has a girlfriend and is getting married. You're going to have an aunt."
Ping An and An An understood that their uncle, who had come to their house to recover from his injuries, was getting married. They knew that when they grew up, they would get married.
Because Yu Yin and Yu Jun had the deepest bond, the children also had a strong impression of their uncle, whom they didn't see very often. They called their mother's older brother "Big Uncle" and her younger brother "Little Uncle," but only that uncle was simply called "Uncle." Although it was a bit awkward to pronounce, the children understood.
"Shall we go to my uncle's house to see the bride?"
"Yes, we'll go to my uncle's house to see the bride."
Pingping and An'an ran next door chattering away, saying they wanted to tell their friends the news.
"Slow down, you two run slower."
Yu Yin's words couldn't keep up with the two children's running speed; they disappeared in a flash.
Once she calmed down a bit, Yu Yin realized she hadn't checked who the young man's girlfriend was yet. The two kids had gotten her so caught up in the chaos that she'd almost forgotten about the important matter.
"Shurui, what did the letter say? Did the young man date her on his own or was someone introduced to him? What does she do? How old is she? She..."
Yu Yin bombarded her with questions. She was genuinely happy for her brother; he finally had a girlfriend and wouldn't be alone anymore. Yet, she also felt a little lost. Her brother would have his own family and someone he cared about more; he wouldn't care about her as much anymore.
Sigh, what am I thinking? I can't be so selfish!
Lu Shurui watched Yu Yin's expression change from happiness to disappointment and understood what she was thinking.
For Yu Yin, Xiao Ge was not only an older brother, but also a father and a protector.
"It's okay, I'll still be here for you. I'll try my best to be like you, protecting you and staying with you, always and always."
"Well, am I being a little selfish? I'm glad that the guy has a girlfriend, but I feel a little disappointed."
Yu Yin was held in Lu Shurui's arms, leaning against his not-so-muscular chest, listening to his heartbeat. At this moment, Yu Yin felt very safe and relaxed.
"Yes, you must always protect us and never leave."
Perhaps it was the sudden news that her boyfriend had a girlfriend that made Yu Yin a little vulnerable. At that moment, she just wanted to let herself rely on the man beside her, not thinking about what would happen in the future, just wanting to lean on him like this forever.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I heard that Brother Yu has a girlfriend. Where is she from? Who introduced them?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've disturbed you."
"Why did you stop? Go inside!"
Wang Wenye and his two companions overheard Ping An'an talking next door about going to see their uncle's wedding and their aunt's wedding. Curious about what kind of person Yu Xiaoge's girlfriend was, they rushed over, only to unexpectedly interrupt the couple's heartwarming moment.
Yu Yin calmly released her grip on Lu Shurui and greeted him naturally, not noticing that Lu Shurui's ear tips were slightly red.
"It's here. I haven't read it yet. Ask your brother Lu for details. He's read the letter."
There's nothing to be embarrassed about. When you're hugging your own man in your own home, the ones who should feel embarrassed are them.
"Cough, cough..."
Lu Shurui cleared his throat uncomfortably. Honestly, the three of them ruined the perfect atmosphere. So annoying.
"The young man said that his girlfriend was introduced by Wenye's older brother. She is his cousin from his aunt's side, named Bai Xiaoyu. Her family is from Kyoto, her father is also a soldier, and Comrade Bai is a primary school teacher. They have been dating for a while and are satisfied with each other. They have submitted their relationship report and plan to get married at the end of this year or next year."
Lu Shurui summarized the information from Yu Xiaoge's letter and told it to the few people who were staring at him intently.
"Oh, it's Cousin Bai?"
Wang Wen never expected that the spectacle would involve his own family.
"Hey Wenye, now you have a perfectly legitimate reason to come and freeload off me. We're practically family now."
Qian Weiguo was being sarcastic and his words were so sour!
"Wenye, um, your cousin, she..."
Yu Yin didn't know how to put it; no matter how she phrased it, it didn't seem quite right, as if she didn't trust the woman. Her words were hesitant and unclear, failing to convey her true meaning.
“Sister-in-law, I know what you’re going to ask. My cousin is two years older than me. Right after graduating from high school, she was recruited as a teacher at a primary school for children of employees. She got the job with the highest score. My cousin looks like a delicate person, but she’s actually very strong.”
Wang Wen had heard a bit about Sister Lu's family and knew that she and Brother Yu had a deep relationship. He understood that concern could cloud judgment. His own cousin was also a very outstanding person, and it was fate that brought them together.
"That's great, my brother has met the girl he likes, this is his first time dating."
In the past, the young man devoted most of his time and energy to her. While others rode around on their old bicycles with their crushes on the back, he always stayed by her side, doing seemingly endless housework. He quietly passed through that restless age of youth.
"Brother Yu is a very opinionated person. Although we haven't known each other for long, I can understand some of his personality. My brother probably also thinks the two of them are a good match, so he thought it best to keep the good stuff in the family and take it from our own."
"Haha...maybe, this is something Brother Wang would do. He's used to taking all the good stuff for himself."
Qian Weiguo was also a little kid following behind Wang Wenye and the others. Unlike the more serious Qiao Jia'an, Wang was lively, talkative, and a bit gossipy. They liked to run around behind him.
