Lin Ying was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Xu Xinning laughed and teased, "What? You don't believe me?"
Lin Ying blinked, incredulously asking, "Is he really that rich?"
Xu Xinning nodded noncommittally.
Lin Ying suddenly raised her voice: "Xin Ning, am I incredibly lucky? How did I end up with such an outstanding and wealthy partner?"
Xu Xinning: "Calm down, calm down. You didn't just get lucky. You're blessed because you accumulated good karma in your past life."
Lin Ying suddenly covered Xu Xinning's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll get into trouble."
The turmoil of the past decade has left an indelible mark on people's hearts, especially in places like Kyoto, where countless once-glorious families and individuals were plunged into dire straits overnight, some even losing their lives.
Lin Ying has witnessed too much misfortune, so it's no wonder she's so nervous.
Xu Xinning patted Lin Ying's hand, and Lin Ying carefully let go.
Lin Ying, still worried, reminded her again: "You mustn't say things like that again. This is Kyoto. You don't want to be tricked without even knowing what happens. Besides, you're so outstanding, there are bound to be many people who are jealous of you. You'll really have no way to defend yourself then."
Although Xu Xinning was not afraid of trouble and knew that what Lin Ying said would not happen, she was still quite touched that Lin Ying was so worried about her.
Although she and Lin Ying were roommates, they didn't spend much time together. They didn't really know each other well, but they got along well and had mutual friends, which is why they grew closer.
Xu Xinning smiled and replied, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, don't be nervous."
Mu Jingheng had just finished tidying up the sewing machine when he heard a knock on the door. He found it strange, since they had just moved in and were not familiar with the people upstairs and downstairs. Who could it be?
Jiang Juecheng and Du Changpu were fiddling with the tape recorder and didn't hear the knocking at all.
Mu Jingheng opened the door, only to find Mu Jinghuai standing outside.
Mu Jingheng: "Brother?"
Mu Jinghuai laughed: "What? Not welcome?"
Mu Jingheng stepped aside to let Mu Jinghuai in and asked, "Are you resting?"
Mu Jinghuai: "Yes! When I got home, only my aunt was there. I asked around and found out that my sister-in-law had become a teacher and been allocated a house, so I came to check on her."
Mu Jingheng was very happy that Mu Jinghuai could come. In the past, besides Grandpa Mu, Mu Jinghuai was the closest person to him.
But he couldn't resist being mischievous. "Brother, this is a housewarming party. How could you come empty-handed?"
Mu Jinghuai was about to greet Jiang Juecheng and the others when he heard Mu Jingheng say this, so he stopped in his tracks, glanced at the kitchen apologetically, touched his nose and said, "Tell your sister-in-law that I will make up for the gift later."
Mu Jingheng leaned closer and whispered, "Brother, money is fine too. We don't need anything right now."
Mu Jinghuai rolled his eyes at Mu Jingheng, ignored him, and walked towards Jiang Juecheng and the others.
Mu Jingheng then went to the kitchen to help.
Jiang Juecheng was overjoyed to see Mu Jinghuai and hugged him tightly. The two had been close since childhood, but after joining the army, they were not assigned to the same unit and saw each other less and less.
Jiang Juecheng: "You're taking a break?"
Mu Jinghuai: "Hmm!"
Jiang Juecheng: "How long can you rest this time?"
Mu Jinghuai: "One month."
Jiang Juecheng asked in surprise, "Why has it taken so long this time?"
Mu Jinghuai: "I haven't had a break in a long time; all my holidays have been concentrated in one period."
Jiang Juecheng suddenly leaned closer to Mu Jinghuai and whispered, "It's not like Grandpa Mu sent you back for a blind date, is it?"
Mu Jinghuai nodded.
Jiang Juecheng suddenly realized why the workaholic had been resting for so long.
Jiang Juecheng: "Which girl does Grandpa Mu want you to go on a blind date with?"
Mu Jinghuai: "He didn't say anything, he just told me to come to my younger siblings' school more often, saying there are many female students there."
Jiang Juecheng smiled maliciously: "There are indeed quite a few female comrades in the school."
Mu Jinghuai seemed to have suddenly found a loophole in Jiang Juecheng's words and asked, "Your grandfather wouldn't have made the same request, would he?"
Jiang Juecheng said with an arrogant look, "I don't need it, I have a partner."
Mu Jinghuai asked in surprise, "You have a boyfriend? When did that happen?"
Hearing Mu Jinghuai say that, Jiang Juecheng was unhappy: "Why are you making such a fuss about me having a girlfriend? Does that mean I can't have one?"
Mu Jinghuai scratched his head in dissatisfaction. He used to have Jiang Juecheng, that simpleton, just like him, so he wasn't in a hurry. But now that Jiang Juecheng has a girlfriend, he guesses his life will be even more difficult in the future.
Although he was only twenty-two, ever since Mu Jingheng got a girlfriend, his grandfather had been calling him an old bachelor, and every time he called, the first thing he would ask was if he had a girlfriend.
Xu Xinning knew Mu Jinghuai had arrived, so she came out to greet him: "Brother, you're here?"
Mu Jinghuai: "When I got back to the compound today, the auntie told me that you were moving today, so I came to see if there was anything I could help with."
Xu Xinning: "There's not much stuff. We just moved our beds from the dorm. Jingheng and Juecheng did the rest."
Mu Jinghuai: "Congratulations, sister-in-law, you'll be a university teacher from now on."
Mu Jingheng said with a proud look, "The youngest university teacher in the country."
Mu Jinghuai smiled; he was also proud of Xu Xinning.
Lin Ying also came out, and Jiang Juecheng immediately pulled her in front of Mu Jinghuai and introduced her: "My girlfriend is Lin Ying, a medical student, and my best brother is Mu Jinghuai."
Lin Ying blushed and extended her hand to Mu Jinghuai, saying, "Hello!"
Mu Jinghuai extended his hand and shook hands with Lin Ying briefly, saying, "Hello!"
Although Du Changpu was not a soldier, she had known Jiang Juecheng and Mu Jinghuai since childhood. Now that they had met, they had a lot to talk about.
When the weather is cold, lamb hot pot is the most comforting dish. I also made braised pork, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised beef, and cold seaweed salad.
I cooked rice as the main dish and also made steamed buns.
Of course, homemade fruit wine is also indispensable.
Four men sitting together have endless interesting stories to tell.
After having a few drinks, they started sharing embarrassing stories from their childhood.
So-and-so wet their pants in elementary school; so-and-so was chased by a girl and ran to the toilet to hide; so-and-so broke someone's window while playing with a slingshot and was chased for miles by that family's dog...
There are so many that you can't even count them all.
Xu Xinning and Lin Ying listened quietly, but the conversation drifted further and further away, and it seemed that it was no longer suitable for the two women to listen to, so they left the group chat and went to their room.
Although the person went to the room, their gossipy heart remained in the living room.
Lin Ying leaned over the doorway, listening intently.
Although Xu Xinning didn't lie down by the door like Lin Ying, her ears were definitely perked up.
Lin Ying said mysteriously to Xu Xinning, "I didn't expect your son to be so wild when he was a child, and he even had the title of 'second-generation rich kid.' Tsk tsk tsk, Xu Xinning, you are really amazing. You actually managed to tame a second-generation rich kid so well."
