Song Luokui and Chi Yu walked out of the bar. Outside, several black cars were parked, all belonging to Chi Yu's n. Song Luokui glanced at Chi Yu, and he imdiately opened the door of one of the cars.
Song Luokui got in right away, and Chi Yu followed suit. The n behind them also got into their respective cars, and several cars drove off.
In the car, Chi Yu explained to Song Luokui, "The person you saw earlier was my cousin. He has recently picked up so bad habits from the wrong crowd, so..."
Song Luokui thought about how that man made soone lick his shoes. This was not just a bad habit, but a cruel act.
Seeing Song Luokui frown, Chi Yu said, "I've already arranged for him to be sent to plant trees in the northwest. If he doesn't learn his lesson, I won't let him co back."
Noticing that Song Luokui hadn't spoken, Chi Yu grabbed her hand. "Do you think my approach was too cruel?" After all, he had beaten soone in front of her.
Song Luokui shook her head. "No, is he really from your family?" How could Chi Yu, who seed so upright, have such an ill-mannered cousin?
Song Luokui suddenly realized that she didn't really know much about Chi Yu's family. "Apart from him, are there any others in your family who are so... ill-bred?"
For families like theirs, every move they make, if magnified, could cause harm to the entire family. A few days ago, when her brother Song Luosheng and Chi Yu fought—or rather, when Chi Yu was beaten up—the video that was uploaded made her worry about the impact it might have on her parents.
Fortunately, the issue was quickly resolved, and the videos and comnts on the internet were removed.
Chi Yu said, "He's the youngest child of my uncle's family, so he's been spoiled and unrestrained, and he's also made so bad friends."
Song Luokui shook her head. "Friends are secondary; one's own character is most important. If it were my family mber, sending him to plant trees in the northwest wouldn't cut it. I think he should go to prison for reform."
Chi Yu replied, "You're right, so I had him sent away. If he doesn't improve, I'll have him go dig mines in Africa."
Song Luokui asked, "Apart from you, who else is in your family? I don't seem to know much about your family situation."
Chi Yu explained, "It's just in my imdiate family, but there are many branches and relatives from my mother's side too. You don't need to worry about the rest of them. You probably know my parents. My grandparents have retired and are currently not in Jing City, but in S City, where my grandmother is from."
Song Luokui wondered, "Then why did you have to deal with your cousin?"
A flicker of coldness passed through Chi Yu's eyes. "They couldn't bring themselves to discipline him, but I could."
Looking at her calm expression, Chi Yu was afraid she might develop a negative impression of him, so he asked, "What made you go there today?"
Song Luokui replied, "My brother Song Luosheng said I should see your true colors. If I still want to be with you after that, he won't interfere anymore. I don't like that kind of environnt."
Chi Yu tightened his grip on her hand. "I won't take you to places like that again. What do you think?"
Song Luokui shook her head, and Chi Yu's heart tightened with anxiety. His breathing slowed until he heard Song Luokui's words and relaxed.
Song Luokui said, "It's alright, I suppose. It's about disciplining a child, but... I rembered a long ti ago at Unnad Mountain Lake, I saw you disciplining soone too. That person was also kneeling."
Reminded of the incident, Chi Yu quickly explained, "That person is in prison now. He broke the law, so I had to treat him like that."
Song Luokui turned and looked at him intently. "Would you treat your enemies the sa way?" It was common practice in their circles to eliminate dissenters, even betraying friends and family for the slightest gain.
Chi Yu fell silent for a mont before saying, "I won't do anything illegal or criminal, I promise."
Song Luokui studied him for a while, realizing he was sincere. She reached out to hug him, and Chi Yu, who had been longing to embrace her, pulled her tightly into his arms, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance. "I was really afraid you wouldn't want anymore."
Song Luokui hugged him back tightly. "I'm sorry for worrying you. At least my brother Song Luosheng won't stop us now."
As Chi Yu breathed in her scent, he felt much calr. The reason he had been so harsh earlier was mainly because he suddenly realized he hadn't seen his beloved for several days, and he was afraid their relationship was in crisis. Now he had to deal with these sses too, which made him lose his temper.
The car stopped directly in front of the Song family's residence. The two leaned their foreheads together, and Chi Yu gave her a kiss. "Go on inside. Shall we have dinner together tomorrow?"
Song Luokui nodded. "Okay."
When Song Luokui returned ho, she found that her brother Song Luosheng was already there. "Brother, how did you get back so quickly?"
Song Luosheng retorted, "The cars were parked outside the door for over half an hour. Why do you think I got back so quickly?"
Song Luokui smiled sheepishly and went to sit beside him, resting her head on his shoulder. "Brother, thank you. I know you were just worried I'd get hurt."
Song Luosheng let out a "hmph" without saying anything.
Song Luokui shook his hand playfully. "No matter what, you'll always be my best brother and the most handso brother in my eyes."
Song Luosheng pouted. "Before, you said I was the most handso man in your eyes. Now you've set your sights on a man who isn't as handso as your brother."
Song Luokui burst into laughter. "No way! You're still the most handso, really. It's just that in a romantic relationship, you can't only look at appearances."
Song Luosheng widened his eyes. "So you're saying Chi Yu is more outstanding than your brother?"
Song Luokui reassured him, "Of course not. It's just that apart from you, Chi Yu is the most outstanding."
Song Luosheng seed satisfied. "That's more like it."
He then continued, "From now on, you have to be ho by 10 pm whenever you go out with him. You're not allowed to stay out overnight. Let know what you're up to."
Song Luokui was delighted. "Brother, does that an you approve?"
Song Luosheng replied, "No, I just figure you can play around for a year or two at most before kicking him to the curb."
Song Luokui thought to herself, well, she would take that as his approval.
"Alright, I'm going to go rest now."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Song Luokui went upstairs, Song Luosheng sat on the sofa for a while before finally punching it in frustration. Damn that Chi Yu!
The next day, since she had promised to have lunch with Chi Yu, Song Luokui went straight to Chi Yu's car after school, and the two headed to the restaurant that Chi Yu had booked.
"Brother, I'm going out for lunch with Chi Yu today. I'll go back after the al, so you don't need to wait for ," Song Luokui inford Song Luosheng.
Song Luosheng asked through gritted teeth, "Where are you having lunch?"
Song Luokui didn't hide it, "At XXX."
Song Luosheng said, "I see."
...
Half an hour later, Song Luokui was at a loss for words when she saw Song Luosheng sitting between her and Chi Yu.
Song Luosheng said, "What's wrong? Don't you welco ? Can Song Luokui bear to let this lonely old man eat alone at ho?"
Song Luokui said, "...Haha. No..."
