However, her words and eyes revealed her doting affection for her daughter.
Mr. Lu patted his daughter on the back and said, "Alright! Stand up straight. You're all grown up, and you still don't know how to behave properly."
Lu Yingying pouted, but still stood properly in front of her parents.
At this moment, both Mr. and Mrs. Lu were looking at their daughter, who had grown into a graceful young woman, standing in front of them.
"Hey, you seem to have lost weight in the past two weeks."
“Mom, you always say that when we come back!” Lu Yingying stepped forward and took her mother’s hand, pouting, “Okay, I’m hungry. The airplane food is awful. Let’s go home first, okay?”
At this moment, Lu's mother noticed the gloves that Lu Yingying had placed aside after getting into the car.
"Didn't you dislike this color?"
Lu Yingying's gloves were light pink and also had a pair of little rabbits on them.
"Well, my tastes have changed as I've grown up, and I like them now."
She and Xu Feng have a good relationship now, but she knows very well that they are far from being boyfriend and girlfriend. So when her parents asked, Lu Yingying didn't want them to know about Xu Feng's existence and could only give a casual answer.
"That seems to make sense. I've seen similar statements online recently..."
Lu's father had no doubts.
However, Lu's mother nodded, but she still felt something was suspicious in her heart, though she didn't show it on her face.
Because it reminded her of something that happened during military training a few months ago.
However, Lu Yingying returned home less often after that and did not show any unusual behavior, so she and her child's father temporarily put the idea aside.
Looking back now, I immediately feel intuitively that there must be some connection between them.
However, to avoid alerting the enemy, Lu's mother quickly stopped discussing the topic.
She also saw that Lu Yingying put away a pair of gloves because of what she said.
Once home, Lu Yingying couldn't wait to get out of the car and walk into the yard, asking expectantly, "What delicious food is there today?"
"We made your favorite braised pork ribs... Go wash your hands first!"
The family finally sat down at the dinner table.
Although she doesn't like going home, Lu Yingying felt the warmth of home when she finally returned.
Incidentally, she also mentioned preparing a dress.
When Lu's father and mother heard about this, they seemed to take it even more seriously than she did.
"You don't need to worry about the clothes. We'll find someone to customize a set and have it delivered to you."
With my parents around, things are easily handled.
Lu Yingying nodded happily.
Thank you, Mom and Dad!
"By the way, we saw your grades, and they're better than we expected. Plus, you've improved a lot since the midterms... Has someone been tutoring you?"
"...Is it a man or a woman?"
Then Lu's father brought up her experiences at school.
Lu Yingying stuck out her tongue, never expecting that even studying could involve such things.
Moreover, it couldn't escape the sharp eyes of my parents.
"Both women and men..."
Lu Yingying stammered.
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Lu's parents clearly didn't believe it, so Lu Yingying quickly added the second half, and then added more.
"Mom and Dad, I've been studying hard, so I'll ask any top student in my class, whether they're boys or girls, for help. Please don't judge people with prejudice. If I'm really dating, I'll tell you. You don't need to guess."
"But I remember there was someone in your class who got first place in every subject, I think his surname was Xu or something. When I asked the counselor about you a while ago, the counselor mentioned him."
"So, you must have gone to see him..."
Mr. Lu pushed up his glasses and said.
Lu Yingying was stunned and almost choked. She took out a tissue and replied, "Dad, of course, his grades are excellent."
"But since he's so good at every subject, do you really need to find someone else?"
Lu Yingying was taken aback by her father's words, but she reacted quickly.
He quickly added, "Dad, our classes aren't exactly the same, so of course we should find other people's electives."
Lu Yingying tried her best to remain calm.
She has always felt that her father's observational skills are just as good as her mother's.
Unexpectedly, even his parents knew about Xu Feng's existence.
"What is his family background like?"
Lu Yingying thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It should be pretty good."
Her parents became even more vigilant.
She coughed a few times and said, "Actually, I'm not that familiar with him..."
Hearing that Lu Yingying didn't want to talk about it anymore, Lu's mother said with a stern face:
"Why are you so nervous? You're in college now, we won't interfere with your relationship."
"Then why are you asking so many questions? It's like I could fall for any guy," Lu Yingying said. "Besides, good grades don't mean anything. Do you think I don't care about looks?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lu inexplicably relaxed their guard.
However, when Lu Yingying thought of Xu Feng's impeccable face, she realized that anyone who thought he wasn't good-looking was definitely blind.
Therefore, Lu Yingying could only lie through her teeth and make her parents believe that the other person was only good at academics but not good-looking, in order to dispel their suspicions about him.
Lu Yingying was also under a lot of pressure. Her relationship with Xu Feng was still far from settled, and her parents wouldn't care much. They would dig deep into the details as soon as they sensed anything, which was why Lu Yingying didn't want them to interfere too much.
"However, you can't judge a book by its cover. You also have to look at a person's character, you know? Character is the most important thing."
Her parents began to patiently and earnestly persuade her.
“You are the apple of our eye. You are our only daughter. You know, girls are more likely to be taken advantage of and deceived when they are out in the world. Not everyone is as good as your father. As parents, the last thing we want to see is our children get hurt…”
Lu Yingying was at her wit's end; no matter what she did, it would eventually turn out this way.
Helpless, Lu Yingying could only stand up and put a large chopstick into each of the two elders' bowls.
"Dad! Mom! You've worked so hard, please have some vegetables!"
With their daughter stuffing food in their mouths, the elderly couple could only stop, both amused and exasperated.
Lu Yingying only stayed at home for most of the day, and rushed back the next morning.
Not long after, the dress her parents had prepared was delivered to her.
This was a choice we made after discussing it with Lu Yingying.
She tried on other dresses along the way, but finally chose this moon-white dress, which was studded with many small diamonds. It looked understated yet luxurious, and the fishtail hem not only flattered her figure but also made her look more elegant.
Lu Yingying was quite satisfied.
Several of her roommates also came over to watch Lu Yingying try on the clothes, and they praised them highly.
"Wow, this is so beautiful! No wonder it's a wealthy family."
"My Yingying really looks like a princess!"
Lu Yingying was considered the darling of the dorm, and she felt quite flattered by everyone's praise. She blushed and said, "Okay, okay, you guys are making me so narcissistic!"
Several of her roommates offered to take photos of her, and Lu Yingying didn't refuse.
After taking the photos, he said, "By the way, remember not to send them out yet."
Incidentally, he also asked a few people to send him a copy.
