Chapter 297 The Pseudo-Student's Black Moonlight Goddess 47
It took eight hours to drive from City A to her hometown. Zhuang Yan was driving, while Shen Xinran sat in the passenger seat. As the scenery outside the car window became familiar, she felt a strange sense of nervousness.
The moment Shen Xinran opened the door, Qiao Hong pressed her: "Tell me, when did you get together?"
Compared to Qiao Hong's sternness, Xia Qinghong seemed much kinder. She took the things from Zhuang Yan's hands and said with a smile, "How come you are still as polite as when you were little?"
At this moment, Qiao Qihao said casually: "Don't you know, they have been together since high school!"
Qiao Hong's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief, "High school?"
No wonder he always felt something was wrong with this guy during that time. It turned out he was trying to seduce his daughter. How bold!
Xia Qinghong smiled even brighter, "Oh, you've been together since high school! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhuang Yan had grown up under her watch, having to earn his own living expenses at a young age. But he knew how to care for others and how to take care of others. Aren't these two things a woman looks for in a man in her life?
Xia Qinghong was now the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. She took Zhuang Yan's hand and walked inside. "The food has been prepared a long time ago and is warming in the pot. Let's eat first!"
After dinner, Qiao Hong pulled Zhuang Yan to chat on the sofa. Shen Xinran felt bored, so she went to Qiao Qihao's TV room to watch him play games. "What game are you playing now?"
Qiao Qihao raised his head and replied, "King of Storms."
Shen Xinran raised his eyebrows slightly, "I remember you guys used to like playing Heroes Legend?"
Qiao Qihao chuckled, "That game is already outdated. People now play this."
After Qiao Qihao finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Shen Xinran with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Sister, do you want to try it too? There's an official event at the end of the year, and you can enter the lottery by registering an account."
After Shen Xinran pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Sure, just send me the link!"
Qiao Qihao immediately sent a link to Shen Xinran, then sighed with a hint of regret in his tone, "You're unlucky. A while ago, the game designer got married, and everything in the mall was half price for seven days."
Shen Xinran smiled, "It's okay, I don't spend money."
Qiao Qihao smiled bitterly and said, "You don't understand the hardships we ordinary players go through. We don't know when we'll have such a good time again. All I need now is a helmet to be fully armed."
After Qiao Qihao finished speaking, he clasped his hands together in a prayer gesture. "I really hope that designer gets divorced and gets married again!"
Shen Xinran couldn't help laughing, "Then I wish your dream comes true."
When I walked out of Qiao Qihao's room, Zhuang Yan and Qiao Hong were still chatting. I don't know what Zhuang Yan said, but Qiao Hong was smiling. He looked at Zhuang Yan as if he was his own son.
…
On a winter morning, the air is filled with a biting chill.
Shen Xinran lay in bed, feeling the warmth of the blanket. The edge of the bed suddenly gave way. Half asleep, she opened her eyes slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it now? Where are you going?"
As Zhuang Yan put on his clothes, he replied, "It's still early. You should get some sleep. I'll go get you breakfast."
Shen Xinran hummed, turned over and continued to sleep.
When Qiao Hong got up, he saw Zhuang Yan coming back from outside, shivering. He asked in surprise, "You're up so early?"
Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I went out to buy breakfast. I didn't know what you and mom liked to eat, so I bought a little bit of both."
Looking at the buns and soy milk in Zhuang Yan's hands, Qiao Hong nodded with satisfaction, "Just give me two buns."
Qiao Qihao opened the door and walked out. Seeing Zhuang Yanhou, he smiled at him and said, "Good morning, brother-in-law."
Qiao Hong frowned, "Why did you get up so early today?"
When he saw the dark circles under Qiao Qihao's eyes, he frowned again and said, "You didn't stay up all night playing games until now, did you?"
Qiao Qihao chuckled and said nothing.
Qiao Hong didn't understand anything. He rushed into Qiao Qihao's room and shouted, "If I don't smash your broken computer today, I won't be named Qiao."
When Qiao Qihao saw this, he quickly rushed back to his room, protecting his computer and shouting, "Brother-in-law, save me!"
Zhuang Yan stood at the door of the room, unable to leave or stop him.
Qiao Hong had already picked up the computer and said, "Only one of you or the computer can stay in this house. You choose!"
Qiao Qihao said cautiously, "Then I'll leave?"
When Qiao Hong heard this, he was about to throw the computer to the ground. Qiao Qihao's heart was in his throat.
Xia Qinghong heard the sound and came out of the room, sighing, "It's New Year's Day, let's forget it, don't let the neighbors laugh at us."
Qiao Hong glared at Qiao Qihao and said, "If you dare to play games with me all night again, I...I will let your sister cripple your hand."
Qiao Hong left angrily.
Qiao Qihao turned on his computer to check, and when he saw that his computer was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Yan raised an eyebrow when he saw the game on Qiao Qihao's computer desktop. "Are you playing Honor of Kings too?"
Qiao Qihao nodded. "Brother-in-law, are you playing it too? This game is super fun. The person who designed it is a genius."
Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll give you some equipment someday."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qihao quickly opened the game interface and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's your account? I'd like to add you as a friend."
Zhuang Yan mentioned his account number but accidentally saw Qiao Qihao's game name. He frowned and said, "A big rat? That's a pretty unique game name."
Qiao Qihao grinned, "Think about it, Haozi and Haozi, they both sound like me. I've been using this name since Legend of Heroes."
Zhuang Yan nodded. "When you were playing Heroes of Legend, did you hire a power leveler and then delete him?"
Qiao Qihao chuckled, "You really think highly of me. I can't afford a power leveler. But my sister was using that account for a while, so it's not so bad for her to hire a power leveler."
"So that's how it is!" Zhuang Yan started to get excited, his breathing became rapid, and his face showed a look of both nervousness and excitement.
Chen Xinran was sleeping soundly in the quilt. Suddenly, the edge of the bed sank and she felt a chill, as if a piece of ice was pressed against her back.
She shuddered and turned to look at the source of the cold, only to see Zhuang Yan staring at her intently, his eyes full of tenderness.
Shen Xinran frowned, "What are you doing!"
Zhuang Yan reached out his hand, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Zi Xiao, I knew you were the best."
Shen Xinran pressed her lips into a straight line and protested, "You're full of coldness, driving away all my warmth."
Zhuang Yan said in a low voice, "It's okay, just hug me and you won't be cold anymore."
Shen Xinran tried to break free. She patted Zhuang Yan's hand and shouted, "Let me go!"
Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "No, I will never let go in this life."
He hugged her tighter, and after he finished speaking, he buried his head in Shen Xinran's neck.
Shen Xinran: “…”
Who can tell her what happened to the male protagonist and why he is so crazy so early in the morning?
