"Yanyan is back." Grandma saw Lin Xiaoyan and said with a smile.
"Yeah, Grandma, I’m back."
"Where’s Uncle and Aunt?" Lin Xiaoyan glanced around the room but didn’t see her uncle and aunt.
Instead, it was her cousin and cousin sister who were at ho.
"Sister Yan Yan, I heard from Little Aunt that you’re dating soone!" Cousin Zhou Ji from Uncle’s family walked over with a grin, put a hand on Lin Xiaoyan’s shoulder, and laughed, "What does your boyfriend look like?"
"Do you have a picture? Let us see!" Cousin Zhou Li also joined in.
Lin Xiaoyan: "It’s a secret!"
Lin Mu quickly chid in, "Mom, Yanyan got you so milk powder and this other thing that I don’t understand, but it’s supposed to be good for your health when you drink it regularly."
Lin Xiaoyan dodged her cousin and cousin sister’s probing, and moved closer, "That’s right, Grandma, you should drink it every day. When it runs out, I’ll get you more."
Grandma looked at the items, feigned anger, and said, "Why buy these things, such a waste of money. I have everything I need, don’t buy them in the future."
Despite saying this, Grandma was clearly smiling from ear to ear.
After a while, Uncle and Aunt returned, carrying groceries as they walked in.
"Uncle, Aunt." Seeing them, Lin Xiaoyan got up to greet them and took the groceries from their hands.
"Yanyan is back. You sit, I can manage..." Aunt refused with a smile, not letting Lin Xiaoyan carry the groceries.
"How long are you staying this ti, Yanyan? When are you going to Sea City?" Uncle closed the door and asked with a smile.
Lin Xiaoyan: "Depends on the situation, if sothing cos up in Sea City, I’ll have to leave."
"Cousin, what kind of job are you doing in Sea City? Seems like you have a lot of free ti!" Zhou Ji was very curious.
Lin Xiaoyan glanced at her cousin and smiled, "Not telling you, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. Just focus on your studies!"
"Oh, how can you know I wouldn’t understand if you don’t tell ?"
"Show us your boyfriend!"
"I want to see too!"
"I want to see..."
"I can’t believe Sister Yan Yan is actually dating soone!"
"Knock knock..."
Aunt Lin heard the knocking and quickly got up to open the door.
"Mom."
"Mom."
"Sis, you’re back!"
"Sis."
Lin Xiaoyan saw it was her cousin from Aunt’s family and her cousin sister-in-law and greeted them with a smile.
Uncle was, as usual, in the kitchen cooking, while the others sat in the living room chatting and laughing.
"Co, co, co, let’s peel so garlic!"
"Got it!"
"Soone else, co and pick so vegetables!"
"In the eggs? Sis-in-law, where are the eggs?"
"Plate! Are they on the plate?"
... In an instant, it got very lively.
"Sis, are you dating soone?" Zhou Ji asked quietly.
Lin Xiaoyan: "... I am."
"Let see! I won’t tell anyone!" Zhou Ji leaned closer and whispered.
Lin Xiaoyan: "No way!"
"Co on, let see!"
"No way!"
"Sis~~~"
Lin Xiaoyan lowered her head and kept peeling garlic, ignoring her cousin’s whining and soft insistence.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan’s phone rang, she wiped her hands, took out her phone, and showed a flustered expression.
She carefully glanced at everyone else, then walked into her cousin’s bedroom to answer the call.
"Hello..." Lin Xiaoyan answered the phone softly.
"Hello, Yanyan, what are you doing?" He Qi’an’s deep voice ca through the phone.
Lin Xiaoyan listened to her boyfriend’s voice, feeling sweet inside.
"I’m here visiting Grandma, we’re having dinner together tonight."
"Yanyan..."
"Hmm?"
"Do your parents know about us being together?" He Qi’an sat on his suitcase, watching the bustling crowd outside the airport, feeling uneasy.
"I told them, my parents know." Lin Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled gently.
"So... are they okay with ?"
"Well..." Lin Xiaoyan heard He Qi’an’s nervous tone and smiled brightly, "You..."
"Yanyan, who was calling? Is it your boyfriend?" Aunt Lin suddenly opened the door and walked in, asking loudly.
Her cousin and cousin sister squeezed in behind, all smiling mischievously.
"Is it brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law, my sister wouldn’t let us see your photo!"
Outside, Aunt’s confused voice asked, "Who is brother-in-law?"
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the gossip-hungry crowd, covered the phone and hid it from their view.
"You guys are really..." Lin Xiaoyan felt utterly helpless.
She quickly said to her boyfriend on the phone, "We’ll talk when I get ho, for now..."
"Wait!" He Qi’an quickly stopped her.
"What’s up? Is there sothing wrong?" Lin Xiaoyan went to the corner, looking serious.
He Qi’an: "Yeah, I just got off the plane, at South City Airport."
Lin Xiaoyan: "???!!!"
"Yanyan? Yanyan?"
"You’re... in South City?!" Lin Xiaoyan asked in disbelief.
When Lin Xiaoyan uttered these words, the room suddenly fell silent, everyone was listening keenly.
"Yeah, since you’ve already told your parents, I had to co over quickly to et them and express my intentions." He Qi’an’s tone was laced with amusent.
"But... tonight might not be convenient..."
Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze turned to the group beside her, their eyes shining brightly.
"It’s convenient! It’s convenient!"
"Why wouldn’t it be convenient? It’s very convenient!"
"Sis, Yanyan’s boyfriend is here, let him co. It’s just right, we can all et him!" Aunt Lin quickly ran to the living room to tell Lin Mu.
"Xiao He is in South City?!" Lin Mu exclaid in surprise.
"So Yanyan’s boyfriend’s last na is He!" Aunt Lin, hearing this, hurriedly ran back into the room.
"Xiao He, co on, co on, where are you? Let your cousin go pick you up!"
He Qi’an listened to the lively voices over the phone, his eyes full of mirth, he asked his girlfriend, "Can I co?"
"... Are you daring enough to co!"
Lin Xiaoyan said through gritted teeth and softly.
He Qi’an chuckled lightly, "eting your family, why wouldn’t I dare!"
Upon hearing this from her boyfriend, Lin Xiaoyan felt a corner of her heart slowly collapse, "Fine, I’ll send you the location."
"Okay, I’ll co over right away, wait for ."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyan sent He Qi’an the location and told him to take his ti on the way.
He Qi’an replied with an "ok" and quickly took a cab to the location his girlfriend sent him.
"Yanyan, is your boyfriend really coming?!" Zhou Li looked at her cousin curiously.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at their curious expressions, "Didn’t you all say you wanted to et him? He’s already here in South City."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin imdiately turned around to inform Uncle Lin, "Brother, Yanyan’s boyfriend is coming, add a few more dishes!"
"Alright!" Uncle Lin replied happily.
Aunt Lin’s daughter-in-law Liu Qin glanced at everyone, and scoffed in her heart, thinking what’s the big deal about having a boyfriend, why make it such a big fuss, hum!
Everyone eagerly waited to et He Qi’an.
An hour later, the dishes were all on the table, and everyone was still chatting, waiting for Lin Xiaoyan’s boyfriend.
Liu Qin frequently glanced at the food on the table, looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Sis, when is your boyfriend coming? Your sister-in-law might be hungry already?"
