Seeing Liu Feng so hesitant, Wang Xiaolan took a large piece of his favorite braised pork with preserved plums and put it in his bowl and said, "Eat it! We're at home, no need to be polite. Look at Brother Liu, he's not like you."
Liu Pei, while eating with big mouthfuls, said: "He is a person who cares about face. I am not like him. I don't care about these things when I am at my brother's house."
At this moment, Liu Feng felt very uncomfortable when he heard Liu Pei teasing him, and glared at him fiercely.
Liu Pei pretended not to see it and continued eating his own food.
Yu Wenlin wore a kind and gentle smile on her face, her eyes almost narrowed into slits. She said softly, "Oh, Liu Pei is absolutely right! Liu Feng, you really need to learn more from your big brother. Now that you've come to our house, treat it like your own. Don't be restrained, and be sure to let go!"
As he spoke, Yu Wenlin enthusiastically stretched out his chopsticks, steadily picked up a large chicken leg with an attractive color and fragrant aroma, and gently placed it in the bowl in front of Liu Feng.
Seeing this, Liu Feng was flattered. His slightly immature face turned red instantly, and he looked particularly shy and embarrassed.
He stammered in response, "Ah...Auntie, you're so polite. I...I really don't mean to be distant with you!"
Zeng Qiang watched Liu Pei and Liu Feng compete with each other with a smile on his face. He didn't say anything, but ate his meal.
Wang Xiaolan saw that Liu Feng was a little embarrassed, so she tried to smooth things over and said, "Mom, let's not talk about it anymore."
He changed the subject. As he poured them beer, he said with emotion, "I never thought we'd meet again in Kyoto. I remember the first time I met you, I was still a barefoot doctor."
Liu Pei said, "Yes! The changes are huge. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is now a college student at Kyoto University. Kyoto University is the best school in the country!"
Zeng Cheng was so proud when he heard Liu Pei praising his little sister that he said, "Brother Liu, my little sister is the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination."
Just when Liu Pei was about to bring the dish to his mouth, suddenly, he seemed to be cast under a spell and froze there.
His hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air, his movement to devour the food coming to a halt, and his mouth opened wide, as if an egg could fit in. Time passed, and Liu Pei just stared at Wang Xiaolan.
Liu Feng, sitting nearby, saw this and nudged Liu Pei's shoulder. Liu Pei finally came to his senses, as if waking from a dream. He blinked, his face filled with disbelief, and stammered, "Wha... what? Top scorer?"
Liu Pei muttered to himself: "This is nothing. In the future, Xiao Lanzi is a top student. The college entrance examination questions of this era are a piece of cake for her."
Zhao Lihan, who was feeding Xiaobao, also paused with his chopsticks, looking at Wang Xiaolan in surprise and said, "How come I don't know?"
Liu Pei laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, it's understandable that we didn't know. But if you didn't know, then you're wrong."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Brother Liu, don't blame Zhao Lihan. He's been away on a mission and just came back. Besides, it was just an exam. It's been so long, there's no point in bringing it up again. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat."
Liu Feng, who had not interrupted the conversation, asked, "Xiao Lanzi, which department are you in?"
Wang Xiaolan said, "Medical Department."
Liu Feng knew that Wang Xiaolan would later earn a doctorate in both Chinese and Western medicine. While eating, he said, "It's good to study medicine. With this diploma, no one will accuse you of being a traveling doctor. In fact, with your current level of skill, you don't even need to study this."
Wang Xiaolan sighed softly and said helplessly, "There's really no other way! This diploma is like a crucial key for me to enter this industry. Without it, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get through the door."
"So, in addition to my current major, I also plan to take advantage of my precious four years at university to carefully prepare for elective courses. One of them is pharmacy, after all, it is a subject closely related to our future career development."
"Besides, I'm not satisfied with just studying pharmacy. I'm also thinking about boldly exploring other specialties in the medical field. This will not only broaden my knowledge and horizons, but also make me more competitive in the future job market and give me more options."
Liu Pei gave a thumbs-up with admiration and said, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing. You think very far ahead! We can't keep up with you."
Liu Feng, standing by, quickly glanced at him from the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "Hey, bro, with your limited knowledge and understanding, how can you possibly keep up with her? You know, she's someone who's experienced the future world firsthand!"
"In that future world full of unknowns and changes, she was able to stand out and excel, which is enough to show that she has wisdom and ability far beyond that of ordinary people. In comparison, your stupid head is really far behind!" Thinking of this, Liu Feng couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, revealing an unintentional smile.
Liu Pei said to Zhao Lihan with envy, "Brother, you are so lucky to have married such a smart and capable wife. You must treat her well."
Zhao Lihan said happily, "Of course I have found such an excellent wife, so of course I have to love her."
After a meal that was enjoyed by both host and guest, Liu Pei and Liu Feng entered the study at Zeng Qiang's invitation.
Zeng Cheng and Yu Wenlin took their two children to play in the yard, leaving space for Zhao Lihan and Wang Xiaolan.
The two of them were cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen together.
Zhao Lihan pulled Wang Xiaolan to a chair, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "Wife, sit down and rest. I'll take care of this."
After that, he kissed her on the lips and said, "Wife, I love you. Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Xiaolan's fair face flushed bright red, like a ripe apple, and her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the tall, handsome man before her. The happiness surging in her heart surged like a tidal wave, and for a moment she was at a loss for words to express this wonderful feeling.
Zhao Lihan stretched out his strong, powerful arms and embraced the petite Wang Xiaolan tightly. He lowered his head and said softly, "Wife, I'm so sorry! I just received an urgent order from the division headquarters. I have to leave for the border early tomorrow morning to carry out my mission."
Speaking of this, Zhao Lihan's voice trembled slightly, as if filled with endless reluctance and guilt.
Wang Xiaolan looked into his deep eyes and felt an indescribable reluctance in her heart.
The two people hugged each other and entered their own room. Then they flashed and came to the bedroom in the space.
