When the results came out, everyone in the living room stared wide-eyed.
Even Xiang Hengxi looked incredulous.
Shen Muzhi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Aheng, did you go easy on me?"
His son participated in the military's individual combat competition last year and won first place in physical fitness and other indicators. How could he possibly lose to Xu Ziyu? He didn't believe it.
"I didn't, I swear I absolutely didn't," Xiang Hengxi said very seriously, and he pried open his mouth very hard.
“He definitely didn’t; I was the one who tampered with it,” Xu Ziyu said calmly.
"What did you do?" Xiang Hengxi didn't understand; he had tried his best anyway.
“We’re all watching, what tricks could you possibly have up your sleeve?” Luo Xikui was also puzzled. To be honest, she didn’t believe he could beat her brother either, since there was a clear difference in the thickness of their arm muscles.
Xu Ziyu said calmly, "It's about adjusting the angle. The angle I just adjusted allows me to exert my maximum strength while weakening Aheng's strength as much as possible. If I had to explain it in detail, I would have to use a formula to calculate it."
"..." The Shen family members fell silent.
Luo Xikui snapped out of her daze, looking proud, and hugged Xu Ziyu's arm, smiling as she said to Xiang Zhilan, who had just come out, "Mom, I knew my Tuantuan was smart."
Xiang Hengxi could only blame himself for underestimating his opponent; no wonder he felt that although he had tried his best, he was not in top form.
Shen Muzhi snorted, thinking that as expected, like father, like son; the Xu family father and son were equally cunning.
"Come and eat, everyone," Xiang Zhilan called to her family.
The seven people sat down to begin dinner. Shen Muzhi and Xu Ziyu drank a few cups and exchanged some words before reluctantly agreeing to the marriage.
Luo Xikui was overjoyed and stopped being cold to her father, calling him "Dad" affectionately, as if she couldn't wait to coax him into marriage.
After dinner, Xu Ziyu was slightly tipsy and sent someone to take him home.
Luo Xikui originally wanted to deliver it herself, but Xiang Zhilan stopped her: "We've already agreed to your marriage, so be more reserved."
"Oh." Luo Xikui could only stand like a waiting-for-husband stone, watching the car until it was out of sight before following it back into the house.
After showering her parents with affection and flattery, she finally went back to her room.
Shen Muzhi sat on the sofa in the bedroom, his face ashen. It wasn't that he didn't want his daughter to get married, but his feelings were complicated. It felt like his precious daughter, who had been in his arms not long ago, was about to belong to another man.
Among the children, Xiao Kui was born with a weak constitution and was not very healthy. Being a girl, she was inevitably favored a little, which made her feel empty inside.
“Xiao Kui isn’t marrying far away, why are you making that face?” Xiang Zhilan handed her husband a glass of warm water and smiled, “I really like A Yu. He’s been steady since he was little, which helps balance Xiao Kui’s impulsiveness.”
Shen Muzhi took a sip of warm water, but his expression was still not very happy.
"Don't give me that look." Xiang Zhilan reached out and pinched Shen Muzhi's cheek, saying, "No matter how you look at it, Ayu is an impeccable son-in-law. If you scare him away, be careful your daughter will get angry with you."
Shen Muzhi snorted. Although he didn't want his daughter to marry early, he had to admit that Xu Ziyu was the most outstanding among the younger generation. Moreover, it was clear that his daughter was more eager to get married and wished she could stick to Xu Ziyu all the time.
"Sitian and I have made an appointment for our two families to have dinner together in a couple of days to discuss the specifics. You're not allowed to do that then." Xiang Zhilan used her trump card against her stubborn husband: "Otherwise, you're not allowed to sleep in my bed for three months."
The resentment of the setting sun is like losing both a daughter and a wife.
