Chapter 76: Feast in the Courtyard, Secrets of Chasing a Wife

Just when Liu Mingan was deeply impressed by Zhang Shun's complicated and detailed strategy for pursuing his sweetheart, Zhou Yi came back, followed by several waiters from Fusheng Restaurant, all holding food boxes in their hands.

"Brother Liu, Zhang Shun, come on! Let's eat first! It's noon, and we've been fishing for a whole morning. We're so hungry..." Zhou Yi yelled, and when he found that Jiang Ning was not there, he asked again: "Hey? Where's Miss Jiang Ning?"

Liu Mingan got up from the stone bench and said: "She's resting, I'll go call her."

Just as he walked to Jiang Ning's door and was about to knock, the door opened by itself, and Jiang Ning said: "I heard it."

Zhou Yi's shouting was so loud that it was hard not to hear it.

"Then let's eat!" Liu Mingan said with a smile.

The three of them discussed that the light in the yard was good, so they moved the table in the living room out, and the waiters helped to put the food and bowls on the table, then said hello to Zhou Yi and said they would come to clean up in two hours, and then left the yard.

There were four chairs in total, and the four people sat on each side.

"I don't know what Brother Liu and Miss Jiang Ning like to eat, so I just ordered some casually." Zhou Yi said while pouring wine for the few people after sitting down.

Liu Mingan sat next to Jiang Ning, and seeing that she was still wearing a veil, he approached her and whispered, "Jiang Ning, take off the veil. They are not from Lotus Village, so it doesn't matter." Jiang Ning

took off the veil as he was told. Zhou Yi and Zhang Shun looked over, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

"It's so similar!" Zhou Yi exclaimed.

"What do you think?" Zhang Shun knew what he meant and replied with a smile.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, not understanding what they meant by "like". She turned to look at Liu Ming'an, thinking that he would help her answer, but she never expected that Liu Ming'an picked up the chopsticks and picked up a sticky bean dumpling and put it in her bowl.

"Come, try this!" Liu Ming'an smiled faintly.

Due to the presence of others, Jiang Ning did not say anything, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Zhou Yi and Zhang Shun saw that Liu Ming'an was very happy. While eating and chatting, they gradually learned about Liu Ming'an's experience in the past few days.

"We have only been separated for a few days, and so many changes have happened to you, brother Liu. It's really unexpected..." Zhou Yi said with emotion after listening.

Liu Ming'an smiled and said nothing. He simply talked about the burning house, and said that the government was still investigating the matter. He did not leak any information about Jiang Ning.

"But fortunately, you are all safe and sound. This is the best thing!" Zhang Shun followed.

"Yes, it's good that you are okay!" Zhou Yi said.

Jiang Ning did not drink. After dinner, she said hello and went back to the house. She had not slept for two nights and was very sleepy.

Liu Ming'an watched Jiang Ning enter the house. When he came to his senses, he saw Zhou Yi and Zhang Shun staring at him and smiling, with a playful look on their faces.

"Brother Liu, your eyes are about to grow hooks~" Zhou Yi had just heard Zhang Shun say that Liu Ming'an admitted that he liked Jiang Ning. Seeing him so overwhelmed, he couldn't help but tease him.

Liu Ming'an's ears turned red, and he said softly, "Brother Zhou, don't laugh at me."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Yi and Zhang Shun looked at Liu Ming'an's embarrassed look and laughed out loud.

Jiang Ning was lying on the bed in the house, listening to the occasional vague conversations and laughter that came into her ears, and she curled her lips with relief.

Liu Ming'an didn't fit in with the villagers in Lotus Village and didn't have many friends. It was good to have two like-minded brothers like Zhou Yi and Zhang Shun in the town.

When the case was over and she left, even if Liu Ming'an was sad, he would be able to forget her after a while with these two brothers to talk to and relieve his boredom.

Jiang Ning thought optimistically, and sleepiness came over her like a tide, and she fell into a deep sleep.

However, Jiang Ning would never guess that Liu Mingan and his brothers were chatting about everything, or talking about poetry, songs, and current affairs. In fact, the two enthusiastic brothers were teaching their younger brother how to pursue girls.

Zhang Shun was married and had a wife and children. According to him, he fell in love with his wife at first sight, and then he used all his skills to make his wife fall deeply in love with him in just half a year.

Although Zhou Yi was not married, he said that he had been in a world of flowers, and pleasing girls was as easy as eating and drinking water for him. There were several girls in the capital who dreamed of marrying him.

Liu Mingan was stunned by their chatter. After dinner, he took the two brothers into the study, respectfully served tea to the two brothers, and asked them to give him advice.

"First of all, you must be gentle when pursuing a girl, not rude, and make the girl think you are a gentleman. Before you are sure of her feelings, you must not take any action, otherwise you will be disliked." Zhang Shun took a sip of tea and said seriously.

Liu Mingan nodded, then picked up a pen and wrote on the paper:

The first principle is to be gentle and gentleman.

"Second, you should find more opportunities to get along with her. Have you heard that love grows over time? Only when you get along with her more can the girl see your advantages, and then be attracted by your advantages and fall in love with you." Zhang Shun continued.

Liu Mingan thought it was very reasonable and continued to write:

The second principle is to get along with her more.

However, after finishing writing, Liu Mingan felt something was wrong: "Brother Zhang, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that we have always been together day and night. When we were in Lotus Village, we ate and lived together, and even slept in the same bed. Moreover, I always held her hand while sleeping..."

Liu Mingan's voice became lower and lower, and his ears inevitably turned red at the end.

"Puff, cough, cough, cough..."

Zhou Yi was suddenly choked by the tea and started to cough violently. Seeing this, Liu Mingan hurried over to pat his back to help him breathe.

After he finally calmed down, Zhou Yi stood up, grabbed the "secret" written by Liu Ming'an and tore it into two halves: "Brother Liu. Don't listen to his nonsense. He was far worse than you back then. His wife is a distant cousin of mine. My cousin later told me that she had liked Zhang Shun for a long time, but he dragged his feet for a long time and didn't express his feelings--" "

What?" Zhang Shun, who had always been steady and calm, stood up in disbelief when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhou Yi: "Are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Yi realized that he had let out his cousin's secret in a hurry, but the words had already been spoken, so there was no need to deny it.

"It's true, you just can't understand the reserved thoughts of girls, otherwise your son would be five months older than he is now." Zhou Yi said.

Zhang Shun was stunned, then sat down and laughed: "So that's the case..."

Zhang Shun looked out the window, with a strong feeling of missing him. Liu Ming'an looked at him with a hint of envy.

Zhou Yi turned around, patted Liu Ming'an on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liu, your situation is too complicated. What Zhang Shun taught you is useless. You have to listen to me!"

Liu Ming'an took it seriously and took another piece of paper to write down Zhou Yi's "admonitions".
