Whether startled by his directness or not, Shu Yi's dark pupils suddenly contracted, but her expression remained normal.
"Are you kidding me? We've only met once."
one side?
"You've only just met me once." Zhang Youye's smile deepened, but he didn't answer the question directly.
Not understanding the meaning of his words, and about to open his mouth, he heard his grandfather's hearty voice beside him.
“Eldest son of the Zhang family, look at these two kids. They’ve only just met, and they’re already chatting so well.”
Helping Mr. Shu to his son's side, I caught a glimpse of him looking unusually refreshed and full of energy.
There's a saying that no one knows a son better than his father. As if he saw through everything, Zhang Jinnan laughed a few times.
"Grandpa, your Yiyi is so beautiful that even our Youye is captivated. Look at these two children standing together, they are such a perfect match."
“Yes, I also think they’re a perfect match,” Zhang Zhiting chimed in.
I just saw the two children standing very close together in the hall, and I don't know what they were talking about.
Well, the marriage between the two families is a done deal, so nothing I say will change that.
Sitting on the stone bench, Shu Qiyi moved his cane to Zhang Youye's buttocks and tapped him on the buttocks.
What were you just saying to my granddaughter?
"Grandpa, what about the other uncles? Have they already left?" Shu Yi asked.
Upon seeing this, the two people behind him spoke up to explain.
"The other uncles have all left first."
Noticing that Shu Yi's expression changed, he added.
"It's okay, it's fine if you don't say hello. We're not that formal, we're all family."
Hearing this, Shu Yi felt relieved and sat down next to her grandfather. She subconsciously glanced at Zhang Youye.
I was trying to find an excuse to brush it off with my grandfather.
Unexpectedly, as if he had received a signal from her, Zhang Youye blurted out, "Elder Shu, I just asked Yiyi if she likes me like this."
The atmosphere seemed to be ignited by that sentence.
Shu Qiyi first laughed heartily a few times, then turned to look at his granddaughter, asking with a smile of great interest.
"So, do you like someone like Yuno?"
“Too bad, she said she doesn’t like a good-for-nothing like me,” Zhang Youye continued to interrupt.
He rolled his eyes at him helplessly, then took the tea that the person next to him had brought and handed it to Old Master Shu.
"Old Shu, that brat has been spoiled rotten by me."
After taking the tea in front of him and drinking half a cup, Shu Qiyi, unusually, did not have a dark expression. Instead, he waved his hand with a smile.
"I understand young people."
"There's an old saying that women love bad boys. Yiyi, but Youye isn't a bad person. Don't let his carefree attitude fool you, he's not a bad person at heart. Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn't dare introduce him to you."
"You two should spend more time together. As time goes on, you'll come to like it."
Getting along? Liking each other?
This statement reveals far too much information.
Before the doubtful Shu Yi could even open her mouth to ask, Zhang Youye quickly interjected, "Old Shu, you know your stuff. Even a scoundrel has his merits."
Seemingly defeated by his earnest words, though his eyes held a mischievous glint, Shu Yi chuckled softly.
Seeing this, the seasoned veterans present exchanged glances and began to implement a support tactic.
“Yiyi, go out for a walk with Youye. There are many fun places in Jingnan. Let Youye take you to see them.” The big fox Shu Qiyi spoke first.
“Jingnan has mountains and sea. You can ask Youye to take you wherever you want to go.” The second fox, Zhang Jinnan, readily accepted the offer.
"I heard the Qin family has developed a new entertainment complex in the city center. If you'd like to go, Second Uncle will give them a call. You can come back after dinner too," Zhang Zhitin, the Third Fox, added as a final touch.
The last little fox could easily see through the old foxes' thoughts, and upon hearing this, it placed its bet.
Looking at the little white rabbit, his mischievousness remained. Zhang Youye raised his fox tail and swayed it from side to side.
"Yiyi, where do you want to go? I'll take you there."
As soon as the last word was spoken, four pairs of eyes turned to Shu Yi.
But how could the four people not see through the thoughts of these old foxes when they saw this so-called little white rabbit?
With the Chinese mentality of "since we're here, let's make the best of it," since we're already here, it's not a bad idea to go out and explore.
He left out a sentence.
"That's fine, I'll go back to my room to get something first."
Shu Yi then got up from the stone chair, walked into the inner hall by herself, and returned to the east courtyard with Ting Li.
...
I had previously learned from Uncle Wei that the Shu family's ancestral home was once located near the city center.
Later, Grandpa found it too noisy, so he had the ancestral home marked exactly as it was, brick by brick, and rebuilt in another quiet area in Jingnan.
Stepping out of the lobby, Shu Yi saw Zhang Youye leaning against the car door. Taking the backpack from Tingli, Shu Yi approached his luxury sports car, praising it.
"Not bad, the top of the three legendary cars, this car is a limited edition worldwide."
"You know about these things?" Zhang Youye asked in surprise, not expecting Shu Yi to know about cars.
"Fortunately, my dad likes it. He likes to read car news when he has free time. I'm influenced by him, and I also pay attention to it when I have free time."
After saying that, Shu Yi turned her head and gestured for Ting Li to go back.
"Alright, Miss, the old master said to be careful outside and not to rush back."
Shu Yi turned and got into Zhang Youye's supercar, then waved to Ting Li: "Alright, let's go back."
Perhaps influenced by Shu Yi, Zhang Youye, who was usually cynical, actually waved his hand, which was quite rare.
"Go back and tell Grandpa Shu that his granddaughter is in my care, and that he can rest assured."
As the final note faded, a beast-like roar once again echoed through the sky. Seeing that the person beside him had fastened their seatbelt, Zhang Youye immediately stepped on the gas pedal again.
Dust and mist flew wildly.
The taillights quickly disappeared in front of the ancestral home.
The convertible top was wide open, and the scenery outside the window rushed past the car, carrying the bleakness of autumn and fallen leaves.
No wonder they're called a large family; even the scenery on the asphalt road in front of their house is quite remarkable.
