Chapter 68 I will fall hopelessly in love with you on New Year's Eve. ...
The whole place was now completely silent. Even an open-minded elder like Xiang Yin was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Lu Shiyue was dumbfounded, wondering what his sister, who never played by the rules, was going to do this time.
Lu Wangshan held his forehead and looked away.
Although everyone was surprised and embarrassed, they could not scold Xiang Wu because she was not their biological granddaughter; and they were reluctant to scold her because everyone had doted on her for so many years.
In the end, Xiang Yin was the first to maintain his composure. He asked the servant to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, and invited Xiang Wu and her girlfriend to sit down and eat.
Yuntan was even more confused.
She had just recently realized the difference between Xiang Wu and Zhong Xuzhi, and then Xiang Wu got a girlfriend. She remembered that Xiang Wu had a boyfriend...
For a moment, everyone's expressions were a little colorful.
It was Xiang Wu who took the initiative to break the awkwardness: "Excuse me, Grandpa and Grandma, please don't mind it."
Liao Yinqiu then carefully asked, "Do your parents know that you have a girlfriend?"
"I don't know yet. I just started dating someone recently." Xiang Wu shrugged. "It's because they always control me every time I have a boyfriend, worried that I'll get cheated. So I'll just get a girlfriend."
Liao Yinqiu turned his head and looked at Lu Kun.
The two knowledgeable old men looked confused and at a loss as they didn't understand and didn't know how to persuade.
Lu Shiyue was sitting next to her. He didn't believe her words, but just thought she was crazy, so he moved his chair to the side to draw a clear line between them.
Liao Yinqiu added, "You're an only child, from a wealthy family, and you're beautiful. Your parents are worried that those boys might have ulterior motives. If you're unhappy, you should talk to them again. Don't just get angry and…"
Liao Yinqiu couldn’t say what it was.
"I'm not being angry. I just find that dating a girl is much more interesting than a boy!"
No matter how awkward the atmosphere was, Xiang Wu couldn't faze him. He remained cheerful and said, "Actually, I've always felt that I prefer girls. I was particularly fond of my sister-in-law the first time I met her!"
Yun Tan, who was suddenly pulled into the center of the topic, didn't know how to react.
She felt that Xiang Wu's series of abnormal behaviors had motives, but she really didn't know what she was talking about.
So he turned his head and looked at Lu Wangshan quietly.
I found Lu Wangshan lowering his head and sending a message to Xiang Wu: "Are you sick?"
Yun Tan: “…”
Xiang Wu quickly responded: "How dare you cross the river and then destroy the bridge!"
Lu Wangshan: "Did I ask you to cross the river like this?"
Lu Wangshan did indeed specifically ask Xiang Wu to come for dinner today.
But her original intention was just to liven up the atmosphere and praise Yuntan in front of her grandparents so that Yuntan wouldn't be too nervous and could relax a little.
I didn't expect Xiang Wu to direct and act out this scene himself.
Lu Wangshan was really impressed.
However, for someone like Lu Wangshan who has had a smooth life on the righteous path, it is indeed difficult to understand how an "evil cultivator" like Xiang Wu can take shortcuts.
The shock and embarrassment at the dinner table were real, but the effect was also immediate.
Lu Kun was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Yun Tan's complicated family background, but now after being tormented by Xiang Wu, he suddenly became enlightened.
Children nowadays really can't be pushed. What if they become like Xiang Wu? Never mind. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. What are they, who are half buried in the ground, supposed to care about?
After dinner, Lu Kun pulled Lu Wangshan aside and asked, "What are your and Xiao Tan's future plans? When will you get married?"
Lu Wangshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I think the sooner the better, but I still have to ask Xiao Tan what she thinks. After all, she's only 25 and is planning to go to graduate school, so there's no rush."
"Are you still planning on pursuing graduate studies?"
"Well, she actually already studied for a master's degree in product design when she was abroad, but now her work requires some knowledge about intelligent interaction, so she plans to study for a master's degree in computer science."
Lu Kun nodded repeatedly and said, "That's great."
Xiang Wu retired after completing her mission. After finishing her meal, she walked away with her "girlfriend" arm in arm and wearing her boots.
Only then did Yun Tan hear from Lu Wangshan the cause and effect of all the strange things that happened today.
She asked with amusement, "What conditions did you agree to make Wuwu agree to do this?"
"Promise her one thing, no conditions." Lu Wangshan said, "With her personality, I'll just buy her whatever she likes."
The next second, Xiang Wu sent him a document.
Xiang Wu: "Brother, brother, brother, please help me revise my graduation thesis."
Lu Wangshan: “?”
Xiang Wu: "Keep your word and don't cheat!"
Lu Wangshan was really impressed.
Yun Tan laughed so hard that she fell on his shoulder.
…
In the evening, the whole family sat in the living room, the fireplace emitted warm light, snow began to fall in the sky again, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, one could just enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow.
Yuntan felt a sense of peace and security in his heart.
Xiang Yin took out a thick stack of photo albums and showed them to Yun Tan.
It records many moments of Lu Wangshan and Lu Shiyue from childhood to adulthood.
Lu Wangshan didn't think that those childhood photos of embarrassment or crying were detrimental to his image, so he leaned lazily on Yun Tan and looked at them together.
"I still remember this picture. He took Ah Yue out to play, and Ah Yue accidentally fell and broke his forehead." Xiang Yin laughed as he spoke. "Ah Yue didn't even cry. But he found Wang Shan crying secretly with his back turned, feeling that he hadn't taken good care of his brother."
Yuntan couldn't help laughing.
She often discovered from many details that Lu Wangshan was really kind, both kind and cute.
Moreover, he has never had any awkward period since he was a child, and every photo of him looks great.
"Here, there's this one."
Xiang Yin took out another photo. In it, Lu Wangshan looked about ten years old. He was sitting next to Xiang Yin with a dessert table in front of him. Lu Wangshan was wearing a bow tie and a formal suit, looking like a little gentleman. He was very cute.
"There's you behind here, Xiao Tan. Come to think of it, you two actually had a photo together when you were very young."
Xiang Yin's words diverted Yun Tan's attention away from the cute little Lu Wangshan in the photo. He looked blankly at the other people in the background, and sure enough, he saw himself.
"I...why am I here?"
"Have you forgotten? It was you—"
Xiang Yin paused for a moment and changed his words, "Yuan Qinrong will take you to these ladies' meetings at that time."
Yuntan remembered that Yuan Qinrong took her to those dinner parties and salons.
But at that time her attention was all on Yuan Qinrong, and she didn't pay any attention to other people around her.
Surprisingly, she had met Lu Wangshan at that time.
Xiang Yin then asked, "Do you still remember that you saved Wangshan?"
"Ah?" This time Yun Tan was completely confused.
"So you don't remember, and Wangshan didn't tell you?"
Xiang Yin then talked about the incident when Lu Wangshan accidentally fell into the rockery pond. It was Yun Tan who endured the fear and slid down the stones into the water to save him. In the end, the noise of the two children splashing in the water attracted the adults and no accident happened.
Yun Tan blinked, but still couldn't recall this memory. It was too long ago.
She tilted her head to look at Lu Wangshan who was leaning on her shoulder: "Do you remember?"
"Remember."
She widened her eyes slightly: "Then why have you never mentioned it?"
He pinched Yun Tan's palm and said, "How could I know you had forgotten everything?"
Xiang Yin patted him on the back and said, "Xiao Tan was only a few years old at that time and still doesn't remember anything. It's normal."
Yuntan felt a very strange and unusual feeling in his heart.
She actually had a connection with Lu Wangshan since she was so young. It was very strange, like a sense of destiny.
She couldn't help but lean towards Lu Wangshan.
"Xiao Tan, don't look at his behavior."
Xiang Yin "sold his son" without hesitation, "He didn't like playing with girls since he was a child, but when he met you, he would take the initiative to give you dessert and cake. At that time, someone asked him if he could have a sister, but he didn't want one, he only liked you. We even joked that maybe you two really have some fate."
Yun Tan laughed and asked in disbelief, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true."
Xiang Yin slapped Lu Wangshan's arm again, "Did you say so yourself?"
Lu Wangshan: "I forgot too."
Xiang Yin laughed out loud: "He is shy!"
There are really various photos of Lu Wangshan when he was a child, and it can be seen how Xiang Yin and Lu Chengjun loved him wholeheartedly. However, he no longer liked taking photos after he grew up. The last photo of him as an adult was taken under the plaque at the main gate of the university after he graduated from college.
He was wearing a bachelor's gown, holding a diploma and two degree certificates. His brows were furrowed in the glaring sunlight, giving him a cold, sharp look.
After many years, you can find that Lu Wangshan at that time was more angular and his temperament was more intimidating than it is now.
This is Lu Wangshan when they first got together.
But in Yuntan's memory, he seemed to have always been gentle and kind.
Her fingertips gently traced the outline of Lu Wangshan in the photo, and she almost couldn't let it go.
Xiang Yin also noticed it: "Do you like it? Then take this one back."
She suddenly stood up again and said, "By the way, let me take a picture of you two."
Xiang Yin went to the room to get an instant camera and asked Lu Wangshan and Yun Tan to sit next to each other on the sofa. He also joked, "My son doesn't like taking pictures anymore when he grows up. It's rare that he can be so well behaved when asked to take pictures."
Lu Wangshan put his arm around Yun Tan's shoulders and just raised his eyebrows slightly in response to Ms. Xiang Yin's continuous teasing.
The picture freezes at this moment.
"How about taking a family photo on New Year's Eve?" Lu Chengjun suggested.
Xiang Yin: "Okay, I haven't filmed it in many years."
So Lu Kun and Liao Yinqiu sat in the middle of the sofa, Lu Chengjun and Xiang Yin sat on both sides, Lu Shiyue, Lu Wangshan and Yun Tan stood behind the sofa, Lu Wangshan put his arm around Yun Tan's shoulders, with a lazy and satisfied smile on his face.
Leo also appeared in the scene, sitting upright on the sofa next to Xiang Yin with a bright look in his eyes.
The image is formed in one go and the picture quickly appears on the photo paper.
Yun Tan looked at the two photos and his eyes gradually became hot.
This was her first time taking a family photo.
That New Year's Eve, they sat in front of the warm fireplace and chatted for a long time, flipping through the thick stack of photos.
Yun Tan carefully and solemnly put the two newly taken photos into his coat pocket, ironing them with his palms.
…
It was already late when I got home that night.
Snow was still falling from the sky. Yun Tan leaned back in his chair, feeling a peace of mind and satisfaction he had never felt before.
Lu Wangshan saw the corners of her mouth turned up, so he smiled too and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"very nice."
"Um."
"Lu Wangshan, your grandparents, parents, and your brothers and sisters are all very kind."
Lu Wangshan tilted his head and raised an eyebrow: "So it passed Xiao Tan's review?"
"What audit? You're here again." Yun Tan laughed, then remembered and asked, "So, you really saw me when you were a child and gave me a cake?"
"Um."
"Why? You've never mentioned it in all these years." Yun Tan thought again, "That! That time in junior high school when Lu Shiyue and I had a fight and you came to the office, did you know it was me?"
"I know. You're the school beauty in the junior high school and you're also very famous in the high school."
Yun Tan uttered an "Ah" and squinted his eyes, feeling something was wrong: "That's weird, you know me as the school belle of junior high school, and I know you as Lu Shiyue's brother. Besides, Auntie also said that was the first time you showed your affection to a girl——"
Yun Tan suddenly leaned closer and asked teasingly, "Mummy Lu, you didn't like me from then on, did you?"
"Am I that perverted? I went to see my brother's homeroom teacher and fell in love with a female classmate of his?"
Yun Tan snorted, "Who knows? You're a pervert at heart."
Lu Wangshan laughed: "How am I perverted?"
As soon as he asked in his deep voice, many restricted images emerged in Yun Tan's mind, including those from his childhood that he couldn't bear to look at.
"Okay, okay, stop talking." She stopped him quickly.
At a red light, Lu Wangshan suddenly reached out and took her hand, whispering, "Maybe it's just that no matter when I meet you, I will fall hopelessly in love with you."
Yuntan's heart was shocked.
She turned her head to look at Lu Wangshan and felt that everything was just right.
-
After New Year's Eve, the flu virus situation that had been hotly discussed suddenly became serious. Without anyone's warning, the world entered a completely different situation.
Officials in various places have issued initiatives for companies to work from home and implement flexible working hours. Yuntan, who originally planned to join a new company after the New Year, therefore ended up working from home.
Lu Wangshan started to get busy again.
The group dispatched many support vehicles and supplies, and its medical equipment companies worked overtime to increase efforts to expand production lines and stimulate production capacity.
Except for occasional necessary outings, they stay at home almost every day.
In addition to work, Yuntan devotes all his time to preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
The most troublesome one is Leo. Lu Wangshan bought him an indoor pee pad, but he never went to the toilet indoors. He always had to wait until he could no longer hold it before he went to pee. But this is definitely not good for a 7-year-old dog.
So Lu Wangshan searched the Internet for various videos on how to train dogs to use the toilet, and taught Leo a new skill again after many years.
He designated one of the bathrooms in the living room near the doghouse as Leo's toilet. In order to prevent him from falling when stepping on the toilet seat, he specially found a piece of wood and cut a circle of the same size in the middle so that he could stand more spaciously.
Start by training Leo to stand on the toilet and turn around freely, and then find ways to give him the command to go to the toilet here.
Lu Wangshan and Yun Tan stood together, feeling very nervous. It would be troublesome if Leo still couldn't accept using the toilet during this special period.
Fortunately, Leo quickly bent down and completed his first feat on the toilet.
At that moment, Lu Wangshan and Yun Tan didn't even dare to breathe. After it finished and jumped off the toilet, they loudly praised and encouraged it. Lu Wangshan went to get it its favorite reward snacks, and Yun Tan hugged it and said, "Leo is great! Leo is the smartest puppy in the world!"
Leo is really smart.
From then on, every time he went to the toilet, he would go to the toilet and then ask Lu Wangshan for snacks.
With the restrictions on dog walks, Leo also gets much less exercise than before.
Lu Wangshan held it to support his weight and found that he had gained five kilograms more weight than before. So he started taking Leo to exercise after work every day.
Sometimes it's the treadmill, sometimes it's swimming.
There is an indoor swimming pool of about 200 square meters at home.
That day, Yun Tan was lying on the sofa by the swimming pool, reading the book in his hand comfortably, occasionally looking at Lu Wangshan who was playing water frisbee with Leo in the swimming pool.
Leo was particularly happy, and his two front paws splashed the water everywhere.
Lu Wangshan has endless patience with it. He never gives unilateral orders to Leo. He always thinks about problems from Leo's perspective and tries to understand the motivation behind each of its actions.
Suddenly, Lu Wangshan threw the frisbee towards Yuntan.
Leo quickly climbed onto the pool and ran towards Yuntan. He was so fast that Yuntan was startled: "Ahhh Leo! Don't come over here!"
Lu Wangshan was very mean: "Leo, shake off the water."
"Lu Wangshan, you're sick!" Yun Tan leaned back, "Leo, no!"
Fortunately, Leo listened to her better and stopped obediently, slowly moving closer to her arm, making her arm wet.
Lu Wangshan lay on the edge of the swimming pool and continued to give the command to "shake off the water".
Leo probably understood that his father was deliberately bullying his mother, so he looked up at Lu Wangshan and said, "Woof!"
The general meaning is "Don't bully mom!"
But perhaps it was really uncomfortable not shaking off his fur, so Leo ran away to shake off his fur, and then ran back to Yuntan.
Yuntan smiled, hugged Leo and kissed him on the forehead: "Good boy!"
Lu Wangshan pushed himself up with his arms and climbed out of the swimming pool nimbly.
After staying at home for many days, his figure became better as he took Leo to exercise. Water droplets rolled down his chest, outlining the muscle lines that couldn't be more perfect.
He walked over, bent his fingers and gently flicked Leo's forehead: "Little ungrateful bastard."
Leo didn't care what he said. He just acted coquettishly with Yuntan, rubbing his head against her arms, and finally got her clothes soaked.
Lu Wangshan picked up the water cup beside him and took a sip, then leaned on the sofa and watched the man and the dog playing.
Yun Tan finally didn't care anymore and just held Leo in her arms. She lowered her head and rested her chin on his head. Suddenly, she smiled and said with emotion: "Lu Wangshan, you will definitely be a good father when you have children in the future."
Lu Wangshan paused and his eyelids suddenly twitched.
He suddenly felt that the topic that stood between him and Yun Tan and that he dared not mention easily was right at this moment.
He looked at Yun Tan for a moment, then whispered, "I will be more than just a good father."
