The next day, they were turned away.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, on the third day the two were turned away again.
"How about we come back tomorrow?" Chu Changliu rubbed his nose, thinking that there would still be a chance to get in if they came back tomorrow.
“You said the same thing yesterday,” Zhou Ping, standing next to him, said, staring blankly at the gate.
How did things develop to this point?
The previous two meetings with my parents went so smoothly, but I never expected to be kicked out as soon as I arrived here.
Zhou Ping was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "What are your parents' requests? Did you ask them yesterday?"
“Well, the day before yesterday, after I introduced you, my dad sent three 60-second voice messages…” Chu Changliu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then handed his phone to Zhou Ping.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked; as soon as he did, Zhou Ping felt like he couldn't see the future.
He gasped first, then sighed heavily, "You...you told my uncle this?"
Chu Changliu looked at him with suspicion, "I'm telling the truth."
Zhou Ping:......
"I suddenly feel that being kicked out is actually a good outcome," Zhou Ping said as he scrolled through the chat history.
"It's not that serious!" Chu Changliu gently nudged him.
"Let's go back first, and I'll explain to my uncle in person later..." Luckily, he asked a few more questions, otherwise, based on the description of himself given by Chu Changliu, Zhou Ping felt that he would never be able to marry him in this lifetime.
The following is a chat message between Chu Changliu and Shang Yunze.
Chu Changliu: Dad, did Mom agree?
Shang Yunze: Not yet, she's still sulking. Wait a minute, you talk to Dad about that young man first, and Dad will go and persuade her tomorrow.
Shang Yunze: What does he do for a living?
Chu Changliu: A sword immortal who protects the Great Xia Dynasty.
Shang Yunze: ? ? ?
Shang Yunze: ...
Shang Yunze sent a 60-second voice message.
Chu Changliu: Dad, why are you so excited? I know you haven't seen him before, but he really is amazing. He wields that sword so cool!
Shang Yunze: ...Hehe, never mind, let's not talk about that for now. How did you two meet?
The specific details could not be disclosed, but after careful consideration, Chu Changliu typed out a string of words.
Chu Changliu: A friend introduced me to him, and we became good brothers. And then... that's how it went! (Friend refers to 019)
Shang Yunze: ! What kind of bullshit friend is this? Which heartless bastard dared to cheat my son?
Chu Changliu: Dad, don't be angry. It wasn't easy for us to get here. Please get Mom to agree quickly.
Shang Yunze: What? You walked all the way from Beijing to here? (His blood pressure continues to rise)
Chu Changliu: Uh... flew here?
Shang Yunze: You've been brainwashed by love. Don't even mention your mom's disapproval, I won't approve either, and I never will!
Shang Yunze sent two 60-second voice messages.
The next day, another cold transfer was sent, along with a message: "Find your own place to stay and don't come back into the house!"
After reading the chat history, Zhou Ping's fingertips were trembling.
“I know why my uncle and aunt won’t let me in,” Zhou Ping said, looking at the biggest obstacle beside him—Chu Changliu.
The biggest obstacle was still looking at him with a bewildered expression, "Why?"
Zhou Ping:......
"Idiot," he couldn't hold back any longer and pulled Chu Changliu away from the place.
But Chu Changliu was still yelling, "What? You actually said they're idiots! They really are a bit idiotic. They didn't even realize that what I said was true, and they even said that my brain has been corrupted by emotions!"
The filial son not only didn't refute, but also began to judge.
Zhou Ping glanced at him helplessly, "Yeah, they're stupid."
So stupid that he forgot about this little shark that was on his mind.
Chu Changliu and Zhou Ping exchanged a glance, as if they had connected on a telepathic connection, and smiled brightly, "You're all I can think about!"
"..." Zhou Ping's ears turned red, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In fact, Chu Changliu was still smart, but his brain was filled with him.
He was making excuses for Chu Changliu, but he ended up laughing at himself.
"I'll add my uncle later, and I'll talk to them." Zhou Ping thought it was better to handle this himself than to leave it to Chu Changliu.
Chu Changliu was completely unaware that he had created this situation himself.
He volunteered, "I'll speak with you, and if I say something, they'll both soften their hearts and..."
Zhou Ping's lips twitched, and he reached out to cover Chu Changliu's mouth. "Let me do it."
"Oh..." Chu Changliu nodded upon hearing this, then turned to play with his phone.
The Shang family.
Shang Yunze was so angry that he couldn't eat or sleep for two days. He was anxious because he thought his son might still be being deceived.
Lin Zhixia asked in confusion, "Xiaoyan just came back, why didn't you open the door for them?"
When Shang Yunze saw his wife, who had suddenly come to her senses in the past two days, he felt a heart attack. He didn't dare show Lin Zhixia those chat messages, for fear of upsetting her.
So Shang Yunze could only sulk in silence.
Because his mind was in turmoil these past two days, he couldn't sleep at all, and his eyes were covered in dark circles. Shang Yunze said in a muffled voice, "I absolutely cannot agree to this!"
Seeing his strong reaction, Lin Zhixia was still a little puzzled, "You were so friendly before, why are you disagreeing now?"
Keeping people locked out all the time isn't a good solution, is it?
“My son has finally come home, and I miss Xiaoyan. We must let them in tomorrow!” After saying that, Lin Zhixia asked, “Did you give Xiaoyan any money? Don’t let her suffer while she’s staying out.”
"What grievances could he possibly suffer?" His father is incredibly frustrated right now.
Shang Yunze felt that if he continued to get angry like this, he would really need to take some nitroglycerin.
He took a deep breath. "Xiao Yan can go in tomorrow, but Zhou Ping can't!"
Ding-dong—
The phone suddenly rang.
Shang Yunze reached out and took the phone. When he saw that a stranger had added him, he tapped the screen.
"Uncle, I'm Yan Yan's boyfriend. Shall we talk?"
The people who added him on social media left messages like this.
This is someone asserting their sovereignty coming knocking on our door. How dare we add them?
Shang Yunze's face darkened, and he was about to refuse.
But when his fingertip hovered a centimeter away from the screen, he changed his mind and pressed "agree".
Shang Yunze: Zhou Ping, right? You can fool Yan Yan, but you can't fool me. A sword immortal, my foot! If you're a sword immortal, I'll invite you in and worship you tomorrow!
Zhou Ping, who was holding his phone, broke out in a cold sweat after seeing the message.
There's no need to make a shrine to him; just letting him and Yan Yan into the house is enough.
He considered it for a moment and then typed a reply.
