Pastoral Daily Life

After a busy day, Lu Lingxi received a call from Wang Shuxiu, asking him to come home early for dinner in the evening.

“Brother Feng is also here, lets have a family dinner.”

Wang Shuxiu was a little uncomfortable on the other end of the phone. No matter how spirited she was, she wasnt used to talking to her son about such things. On the contrary, Lu Lingxi reacted after a moment of being taken aback. He had already prepared himself for this and wasnt surprised to hear that Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng were together. But what about Yan Yue when their family was eating? Lu Lingxi blurted out, “What about Big Brother Yan, he is alone?”

“Yan Yue?” Wang Shuxiu was a bit surprised, but still said, “If hes alone, lets call him to eat together. It doesnt matter, were all neighbours.”

Lu Lingxi actually regretted it right after he said it, but there was no way to take it back, so after hearing Wang Shuxius words he agreed sheepishly.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shuxiu wondered what it was that seemed wrong. The little bastard was really too attached to Yan Yue. But if she were asked why it seemed wrong, she couldnt say; she just didnt feel right. She looked like she had a problem and Xiao Feng asked her halfway through picking vegetables, “Whats the matter? Xiao Xi is not coming?”

Wang Shuxiu shook her head, “Hes coming, and hes bringing Yan Yue with him. Do you think he and Yan Yue are getting too close? He doesnt even forget Yan Yue for dinner.”

Xiao Feng knew exactly what was going on, but he couldnt tell Wang Shuxiu. However, he owed Yan Yue a favour, so he helped to explain. “Its not a bad thing for Xiao Xi and Yan Yue to be close. You said that Xiao Xie has lost his memory and doesnt remember anything from the past, so its normal for him to be close to Yan Yue since Yan Yue is willing to take care of him.”

This explanation made sense. Xiao Fengs cryptic speech was, in fact, implying that Lu Yishui was unreliable and Lu Lingxi regarded Yan Yue as an elder in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would have some dependence.

Wang Shuxiu thought about it and didnt say anything else.

On the other hand, Lu Lingxi was talking to Yan Yue about this matter with an apprehensive look on his face. He had blurted it out completely instinctively at the time, and after he had said it, even he felt it was wrong, and he wondered what Wang Shuxiu would think.

“Will Mom guess?” Lu Lingxi was a little uneasy.

Yan Yue comforted Lu Lingxi while envious that Xiao Feng had been quick enough and could appear as Lu Lingxis family in a fair manner. “If your mom guesses it, I will confess to her.”

“Its not good, is it?” Lu Lingxi looked a little weird. Wang Shuxius temper was well-known. If Yan Yue dared to confess, Wang Shuxiu might as well grab a frying pan and beat him out of the house. Although Lu Lingxi didnt say anything, his face looked like Yan Yue was about to be beaten. Yan Yue looked at him and laughed. Even though it was the end of the day and there were many people on the road outside, he stretched out his hand to hug Lingxi and leaned over to kiss him.

“Dont worry, it will be fine.”

He wasnt planning to tell Wang Shuxiu too early, thinking to wait for Lu Lingxi to turn twenty, but if Wang Shuxiu knew, it wouldnt be a big deal. Sooner or later there would have to be such a time. Besides, there was Xiao Feng, whose favours were not easy to be owed.
