Chapter 62 Chapter 62 I Will Marry Her
The Lu family's ancestral home.
The place was filled with elegant clothes and nobles.
Not only the elders in the family, but also several relatives and friends were invited.
The wine glasses were clinking and the guests were feasting.
This is the occasion where "socialite" Li Xingyan is most comfortable.
Although he acted like a little bully in public, as the most favored youngest in the family, he was quite good at dealing with his elders and often made his grandparents laugh.
Tonight, Young Master Li was clearly a little absent-minded, forcing himself to smile as he went through several rounds of "socializing."
Li Ran also realized that this kid was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han.
"Pay attention, everyone is watching."
Li Xingyan glanced at him resentfully, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. "Why didn't you invite Ti Ti? You must know that we are already together..."
"Are you together?" Li Ran feigned surprise. "We all thought it was just Young Master Li who was pursuing her relentlessly. Did you actually succeed?"
She has been very busy with filming recently and hasn't had time to watch the variety show, but people around her have been jokingly talking to her about Li Xingyan's "feat" on the show.
"mom!"
Shame and anger were only a small part of his feelings. Li Xingyan was brave enough to take responsibility for his actions and did not think that his courageous pursuit of love was worthy of ridicule.
What he is more worried about now is that in novels or film and television works, whenever lovers decide to spend their lives together, there will always be those "villain" parents on the boy's side who jump out to create obstacles for the young couple.
In the eyes of the world, the gap in status between Li Xingyan and Yun Ti is obvious.
Dating is fine, but marriage...it seems that such a top family will not allow a commoner girl to enter the family.
Thinking of this, Li Xingyan's face changed, and he declared solemnly: "I will marry no one but Titi in this life. No matter how much you object, I will not separate from her..."
Seeing that the silly son was getting more and more excited, if he didn't interrupt him, he would probably move on to the scenes of severing ties, removing his name from the family tree, and willingly marrying into the family.
Li Ran suppressed a smile and nodded. "I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown smarter and learned to make enemies in the void. If you want to marry Ti Ti, go tell her in person. Who's against you?"
"In your eyes, your parents and elders are so pedantic and dictatorial?"
Yes, if they really did that, then their only son would not be able to take his mother's surname.
The young master was really ashamed now. "I was wrong, I was wrong, Mom, please don't hold grudges against me."
Li Ran snorted lightly, "You can wrongly accuse them, but don't imagine me as a vicious mother-in-law!"
"Besides," thinking of Yun Ti, Li Ran felt both adorable and a little melancholy, "I always feel that Ti Ti is very close to me, as if I've watched her grow up."
Li Xingyan touched the tip of his nose and thought: Isn't that what we grew up watching? In a sense, he and Ti Ti are childhood sweethearts!
However, we cannot let Li Ran continue to speculate. With her clever mind, she will probably get closer to the truth after a few more rounds of exploration.
At this moment, a hearty laugh with Lao Qian's aura came from far away.
It was Lu Jingtian.
The busy man had just finished a social event outside and was late. He picked up the glass and drank three glasses of wine as a punishment.
After exchanging a few words with his old father and mother, he politely declined other people's invitations and rushed to his wife and children.
Lu Jingtian simply ignored his adopted son and kissed Li Ran tenderly for a few seconds without paying attention to anyone around, then turned around.
He had actually already thought of the first sentence he wanted to say to his son: "It's been so long since we last met. You've gotten darker and stronger. You must have suffered a lot out there."
Then I took a look and was shocked! He was so big! He had been exposed to the wind and sun on a deserted island like a savage for almost two months, but he was still so fair! His skin was as smooth and translucent as a freshly peeled egg.
"You..." Lu Jingtian was at a loss for words and pressed his throbbing temples. "You haven't suffered at all?"
Li Xingyan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"How could that be?" Li Ran arched his brows and raised his chin. "Doesn't that also mean I've suffered a bit from love?"
The wicked couple laughed at the same time.
…
"How happy..."
Over the years, this family has remained harmonious and happy.
Rich families never talk about "true love", and those who can keep up the casual relationship for several years are considered model couples.
And anyone with a discerning eye can see that what they say and do comes from the heart, unlike most families who pretend to be so for the sake of reputation.
Therefore, among his peers in the entire circle, Li Xingyan has always been the most popular and envied one.
"Mr. Li must have fallen in love, chasing after that little girl in that variety show..."
Someone took the initiative to talk about the latest hot topic, and the other second-generation people all lowered their heads and smiled tacitly.
This kind of smile contains more or less a hint of sarcasm and disdain.
It was they who instigated the request for Li Shao to participate. Not long afterward, they heard that Lu Jingtian was furious and flew to the program crew to demand him. Although they didn't know why Li Xingyan continued to record, they were all punished by their family elders.
That show was so popular that it was beyond everyone's expectation that the tender-skinned Master Li could hold on until the end of the competition. They would be lying if they said they didn't admire him.
But no one wants to admit it.
So they focused their conversation on Li Xingyan's pursuit of someone. After all, they hadn't expected that the always high-and-mighty "Number One Rich Young Master" would be so...hiss...a bootlicker when pursuing someone.
The juniors gathered in a recreational area away from the banquet hall.
We chatted back and forth, having a lively conversation.
"Did he really catch up with that girl? No way, she seems very cold towards Mr. Li."
"She's just pretending. Aren't all women like that? Who can resist money?"
"No way, my little sister likes her very much and is clamoring for her to be her sister-in-law."
"Then you should go and fight for it. At worst, you can learn from Master Li's persistence..."
They dare not mock openly, but they make a lot of implicit sarcasm.
Lu Zhizhou listened in silence for a while, then frowned and interrupted, "You... have all seen that show?"
Lu Zhizhou was a popular star who had just finished filming his first major film. He had heard a little about Li Xingyan's story, but he had never seen the entire show.
"Zhi Zhou has been very busy lately, right? I heard he just finished filming Director Wang's new movie?"
The others congratulated him and expressed their anticipation for his new film. Then, someone said, "That variety show has been really popular lately. Sister Ti, the girl that Mr. Li pursued, won the championship. It was quite interesting..."
"However, the official version hasn't been released yet, and the live broadcast has already ended. There are some highlights of the recording online."
Lu Zhizhou nodded calmly, wrote down the name of the variety show, and planned to watch it again when he had time.
The main thing is to see how Young Master Li makes a fool of himself.
＊
Nine o'clock in the evening.
The area where Yunti lives is extremely quiet.
It is located in the suburbs, in a remote location, with few entertainment activities and even few street lights.
She had just finished taking inventory of everything of value in her home.
It was actually very quick because there were not many valuable items.
During this period, Yunti received a call from "agent-Brother Aliang".
I didn’t expect that a stunt double would have an agent.
Digging deep into her sealed memories, she suddenly remembered that this Brother Aliang was actually the head of the stunt double agency in the film and television city, specializing in introducing his stunt doubles to the crews in need.
Brother Aliang first said a lot of ambiguous words on the phone, and then mentioned topics like "contract".
But at that time, Yun Ti was already impatient and didn't quite understand what he was saying, so she hung up the phone before he finished listening.
While sorting things, Yun Ti happened to find a contract.
There were more than ten thick pages, and after reading a few times, I started to feel dizzy.
"Do you understand?"
Yunti handed the contract to Banlie.
As if he had received an imperial edict, Banlie concentrated his attention and looked at it for a few minutes with a serious expression, which seemed quite serious.
As a result, as soon as he put down the contract, the other party showed a confused and stupid expression.
Wow, these two siblings, regardless of whether they are illiterate, at least have dyslexia.
Yun Ti thought for a few seconds. Since she had returned to modern society, she should let Li Xingyan deal with this problem. She heard that he was a truly top student.
Throwing the contract on the table, Yun Ti began to wash up.
All the toiletries and underwear were newly bought, in two copies, one for her and one for Ban.
While Yunti was taking a shower, Banlie sat obediently on the sofa and waited.
He didn't play with his cell phone either, but stared at the wooden door of the bathroom without blinking.
After Yun Ti came out, he immediately stood up and ran over.
I don’t know if it’s because I feel insecure or because I feel too happy at this moment.
The train is like a stray puppy that has been around for a long time and is brought home by its owner for the first time. It doesn't dare to get too close and can only sniff around with its sensitive nose.
"Sister, you smell so good!"
Banluo smiled widely.
It was a simple statement without any connotation of gender, and if one had to say there was any emotion in it, it was probably more of a humble flattery.
The water pressure in the old house was unstable, so when it was Banshee’s turn to wash, it was basically ice cold.
After returning to civilized society from the deserted island, the body seems to have become more delicate.
Although he didn't feel any discomfort while washing, he sneezed as soon as he went out.
He covered his mouth and nose nervously. His longer hair was still dripping with water, soaking most of the collar of his pajamas.
Yun Ti was sitting on the worn sofa, having just finished blow-drying her hair. Seeing him like this, she waved, "Come here."
Cramped, embarrassed, and nervous.
Banlie squatted in front of Yunti, forgetting where to put his hands.
"Lower your head a little. How can you play if you hold it up so high?"
Yun Ti slapped his head mercilessly, and while increasing the speed of the hair dryer, she put her hand into his hair.
Unlike Li Xingyan's black and smooth hair, Banlie's hair quality is not good, but given his previous life experience, he has no money to take care of it.
It dried quickly and the whistling sound stopped.
The room suddenly became unnaturally quiet.
The train was still squatting at the feet with its head down, as if waiting for orders from its master.
Yun Ti realized belatedly that something was wrong with him.
Thinking back carefully, this feeling of abnormality has been going on for a long time.
When they first met, Banlie was still a non-mainstream sunny boy who was cheerful, clingy, proactive, and could make little jokes.
But now, he has become much more gloomy and taciturn, and I haven't seen him smile for a long time.
"Are you still Banban?" Yun Ti asked.
Banlie suddenly looked up, the uneasiness in his eyes becoming even more pronounced. "I'm Banban, why are you asking this, sister? Did I do something wrong?"
Yun Ti grabbed his arm and dragged him to her side.
"Why are you so timid in front of me?"
Pinching Banlie's chin and forcing him to look directly into her eyes, Yun Ti already had the answer in her heart, "Are you afraid that I will abandon you?"
Yes.
Yes, sister.
Just because Banle doesn't identify with his hyena identity doesn't mean he's comfortable with his human identity.
Unlike Yunti, who is adept at being both a leopard and a human, he actually cannot find the meaning of his existence in this world.
He only has one sister, the one he adores and loves the most.
But my sister’s favorite is Li Xingyan.
If they had gotten married and lived together forever, as everyone said...
So what should he do?
This feeling of insecurity began to grow the night Yun Ti and Li Xingyan fell into the valley and disappeared, and it circulated back and forth with trillions of tons of water vapor evaporated by the trees.
He was trapped in the rainforest.
Banlie rarely cries, and that was the only time he cried like a child in front of Yunti.
Crying is a right only those who are loved have, such as Li Xingyan.
Seeing him trying hard to control his emotions, Yun Ti sighed and ordered him to raise his head.
"Banban, Banlie," Yun Ti said word by word, "I told you, you are my brother. We are family, and family members will never abandon each other."
"Even if my sister marries him, she won't abandon me, right?"
"Won't."
Yun Ti paused, "Besides, maybe I won't marry him."
Before he could finish his words, a potted plant that had long been dead by the window suddenly fell over and fell to the ground downstairs with a loud bang.
