Chapter 135 Extra: Meeting the Parents
After going to college, Lin Zixia rarely went home.
During the holidays, I either work part-time or participate in field research.
When Lu Xiangye returned to Chengdu, she would occasionally go back with him.
At first, Lin Zixia was too embarrassed to tell Grandma Lu about their relationship, and tried his best to keep a distance from Lu Xiangye in front of her.
It wasn't until one winter break during her sophomore year that it snowed outside. She went downstairs to build a snowman and came back with her hands frozen.
Lu Xiangye tried to warm her up with his hands but she refused, so he had to find her a hot water bottle, but her fingers didn't warm up for a long time.
When Grandma Lu came back and saw them, she scolded Lu Xiangye, "Are you stupid? The hot water bottle is useless. Why don't you just cover her with it? Can't you put it inside her clothes and on her chest? You don't know how to care for her at all."
Lin Zixia's eyes widened and she moved her lips, "Grandma Lu..."
Grandma Lu looked at her with a smile, "Why are you calling me Grandma Lu? Just call me Grandma."
Lin Zixia was shocked. "When did you know about us..."
Grandma Lu's eyes wrinkled with laughter. "Weren't you two together in high school?"
"Grandma really likes you from the bottom of her heart. That brat is really lucky!"
Lu Xiangye: "You're wrong, grandma. We're not in a premature relationship!"
Grandma Lu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're so useless!"
Lu Xiangye: “…”
Grandma Lu thought about how the two of them always acted secretly and sighed. Since they didn't tell the truth, she didn't expose them, but who couldn't see it?
Ye Yinghui also knew about it.
She was very satisfied with Lu Xiangye and had no concerns about them being together. However, Lin Zixia's relationship with her family was very delicate, so she didn't want to ask too much.
Ever since Lin Zixia had a big fight with Ye Yinghua and Lin Anhong over the application process, the relationship at home has become very awkward.
Lin Zixia received a large bonus and worked part-time, so she had no problem paying for her own tuition and living expenses. If she really broke up with Lin Anhong and the others, she might not return to Qingjiang County.
But it is not.
Lin Anhong and Ye Yinghua also sent her living expenses and tuition fees on time, and would occasionally call her.
But there is always a gap between family members, and the relationship is awkward and subtle.
I can't let go, but I can't be close to him either. I can only get along with him in a deformed and strange way.
Lin Zixia would go back home for a few days during the Chinese New Year, but no more than a week. After New Year's Eve, he would visit his uncle's family and then return to Chengdu or school.
Usually Lu Xiangye would accompany her back to school.
In his senior year, before returning to school after the Chinese New Year, Lin Zixia met Lu Xiangye's parents.
Lu Xiangye's father is a geologist and his mother is an astronomer. They have the meticulousness and rigor of researchers, but are also full of romance.
Lu's father and mother travel all over the country all year round and rarely come home, but the way they get along with Lu Xiangye is very special, like friends, and they never interfere with his decisions.
Before leaving, Mother Lu slipped a card to Lin Zixia and said, "I've heard Xiaoye mention you for years, and now you finally get to meet me. We're busy with work, and we don't know what's popular among you young people. Buy yourself something you like."
Lin Zixia quickly refused. Before she could finish her words, Lu Xiangye took the card and stuffed it into her bag. "This is from my mother for my daughter-in-law. Keep it safe!"
After saying that, he looked up at Mother Lu and said, "Mom, you haven't told Lin Xiaoxia the password yet!"
Mother Lu glared at him angrily and said, "Why are you so anxious? It's all written on the back of the card."
Lu Xiangye raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiling carelessly, "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he looked at Father Lu again, "Dad, you're not going to say anything, are you? You're not going to give my mom the same gift, are you?"
Lin Zixia really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She tugged at Lu Xiangye's clothes. If he asked this, how would her uncle and aunt look at her?
Father Lu looked at him helplessly, "Do I need you to tell me?"
Lu Xiangye raised his hand and touched Lin Zixia's face. His movements were familiar and natural, and his voice was lazy. "Come back next year, they have a lot of good things!"
Lin Zixia: She really wants to disappear right there!
What made her even more frustrated was that Lu Xiangye's uncle also came.
The first thing he said when he saw her was, "Little girl, do you still remember me? Xiao Ye had to brave the rain to find you before, begging me for a long time. That was the first time this guy gave in to me!"
Lu Xiangye: “Uncle!”
Mother Lu's eyes lit up, "When? How come I didn't know?"
"Sister, let me tell you..."
Lin Zixia has given up resistance.
Everything that happened between the two in high school was uncovered.
Grandma Lu also joined the group chat.
"At that time, Xiao Ye drove Xiao Xia to and from school every day, like a bodyguard."
"They were secretly holding hands downstairs, and I saw them."
"How could a young man's tricks be hidden from me?"
…
Lin Zixia turned to look at Lu Xiangye, her cheeks flushed red, and she wanted to disappear right there.
Lu Xiangye raised his hand and pinched her face. "It's okay, just be thick-skinned."
Lin Zixia: “…”
