"Divorced? Do you have children? If you don't have children, then I'm committed to him."
"He has no children. My uncle's family only has one child, and he is a middle school teacher."
"Hey, aren't you from a teachers' college? You two might become a couple; I think you're a good match."
Sun Xiaolan looked at Su Tian with bright, sparkling eyes. "Su Tian, really? Then I'll just tell him directly."
"Xiao Lan, you are so brave and direct. I admire you."
"Haha, I think so too. I'll go tell him right now. You still haven't told me your cousin's name?"
Seeing Sun Xiaolan shaking her hand, Su Tian quickly said, "His name is Wang Xiu, the 'Xiu' in 'cultivating oneself.' Go ahead, and if you succeed, I'll call you sister-in-law from now on."
"Haha...that's a good idea, I'll go right now."
Ma Chunling had been eavesdropping on their conversation from behind, and she was stunned when she heard Sun Xiaolan's words.
"Su Tian, Xiao Lan is a perfect match for modern women who bravely pursue love."
"You're not bad either, Chunling. Let's not talk and just watch the show," Su Tian said teasingly.
Song Zhe was busy entertaining his maternal uncle, cousin, and Liu Jianfeng.
At this moment, Sun Xiaolan quietly walked to Wang Xiu's side and whispered, "Come over here, I have something to tell you."
Wang Shao and Fang Rong saw a sweet-looking girl calling out to their son. They exchanged a glance, wondering if...
Seeing that they were all staring at him, Wang Shao could only stand up and follow behind Sun Xiaolan.
"Did you need something from me?" Wang Xiu felt that the girl in front of him looked somewhat familiar.
"Hmm, I'm looking at you seriously now. I feel like I've seen you like that before. Never mind that for now, I want to be your girlfriend. Will you say yes?"
Wang Xiu took a few steps back in fear. "Dating? We've only just met, is it really that straightforward?"
"Hehe, it's normal for us to meet for the first time. We're both single, so isn't it normal for us to date?"
"But you don't know me. I'm... divorced."
"Oh, I know that. I don't mind. Are we going to be together? Be straightforward, don't beat around the bush." Sun Xiaolan looked at him with a bright smile.
"I...I don't know, you're being very abrupt," Wang Xiu stammered.
"Since you don't know, then listen to me. Let's give it a try first, and if it doesn't work out, we'll break up, okay?"
Only then did Wang Xiu look at her seriously. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
"Ha ha……"
"Su Tian, this Sun Xiaolan is amazing! She's even more formidable than I was back then." Ma Chunling looked at them with a big smile.
"Aren't you envious? That's really impressive. I think it won't be long before I have to start calling her 'sister-in-law'."
While chatting with them, Song Zhe glanced at Su Tian and the others.
"Old man, has that girl taken a fancy to our Xiu'er? I remember she used to be sent to the countryside in Songjia Village."
"Hmm, it seems possible. They were both sent to the countryside in Songjia Village. Why are they only taking a liking to it now?" Wang Shao asked, puzzled.
“How would I know? You should ask your son,” Fang Rong replied irritably.
"Uncle, Aunt, Liu Jianfeng, let's go have lunch. Aunt Zhang should have cooked the food by now."
"Xiao Song, is she too busy to handle everything by herself? Where's the kitchen? I'll go help her out."
"Auntie, I'll go with you. How can you let yourself go and help?"
Song Zhe took Fang Rong to the kitchen to help, while Su Tian and Ma Chunling returned to the table and sat down.
"Little Sweetie, does your cousin have a crush on that girl?"
"Uncle, it's not that my cousin has a crush on her, it's that she has a crush on my cousin."
“Uncle, Xiao Lan is really bold. She came right up to Su Tian’s cousin and said she was dating him,” Ma Chunling replied.
"Wow, this girl is really brave?"
"Yes, she's also a college student, studying to be a teacher. She should have a lot to talk about with her cousin."
"Hmm, not bad. Let the young people handle this."
After a while, Song Zhe came out and called them to go eat.
They arrived at the dining table and took their seats. Sun Xiaolan sat very close to Wang Xiu, her face beaming with a happy smile.
During the meal, Sun Xiaolan kept putting food on Wang Xiu's plate and warmly inquired about his preferences.
Wang Xiu was a little reserved at first, but he gradually relaxed.
Wang Shao and Fang Rong both burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.
"Come on, Su Su, don't envy your brother, I'll put some food on your plate too."
“Ah Zhe, you don’t need to envy my brother. I’ll feed you.”
“Hey, you two, that’s enough! Who doesn’t have a boyfriend? Ah Feng, you can feed me some food too,” Ma Chunling suddenly said.
"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing her words.
After the meal, Su Tian and Song Zhe escorted them to the front door. After watching them leave, Song Zhe closed the door.
As Sun Xiaolan walked down the street, she approached Wang Xiufangrong and whispered, "Uncle and Aunt, I'd like to go shopping with Brother Xiu. Is that alright?"
"Going shopping? Sure, you guys go ahead, hehe." Wang Shao was grinning from ear to ear.
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. I'll be leaving with him now. Chunling, I won't be going back with you. Goodbye."
"That girl, hmph." Ma Chunling pouted.
"Alright, I'm here with you, aren't I? Chunling, let's go home too. Xue'er is waiting for us at home."
"Alright, let's go back and play with Xue'er."
Five days later.
Song Zhe and Lu Yu boarded the train to return to the camp to complete the transfer handover procedures.
"Old Song, it's great that we can be together again. Your dad really knows how to handle things."
When we get back, I'm going to have my dad come over to thank him in person.
"Oh, what are you planning to ask your dad to bring to thank him?"
"Well, what do you think would be a good choice to bring?" Lu Yu asked him in return.
"I have no idea."
"I don't know either. It's best to leave matters concerning our elders to them to handle."
We're still children; children shouldn't think so much.
Song Zhe interrupted Lu Yu, saying, "Don't be like that. You're a child, but I'm not. I have a wife and children, unlike you."
"Haha... But I'm also the child's godfather. Even though you contributed, I also played a part in the child's development."
Seeing that Song Zhe seemed to want to back out, Lu Yu said anxiously, "Don't even think about going back on your word. This is what you promised me before."
I will never get married in my life, so your children are mine.
"No, if you don't get married, won't your parents say anything?" Song Zhe stared at him strangely.
"I won't get married; I don't feel any attraction to them."
"Okay, when you're free, come over and help take care of the kid. Don't just take the title of godfather without contributing anything."
Lu Yu looked at Song Zhe happily, "Don't worry, I'll move in with you guys and help take care of the kids every day."
"Whatever you want, as long as you don't mind the noise," Song Zhe said nonchalantly.
