Volume 1: When I Was Young Chapter 43: Meeting the Parents

  "What? Going back to school again?"

  In the afternoon, Jiang Xinyue returned home and was about to start writing with a calm mood. Suddenly, Zhang Dashuai rushed over, begging and pleading, and conveyed Director Zhu's instructions, instantly scattering his inspiration in all directions.

  "Oh dear Auntie, this time it really isn't my fault." Zhan Zhu Zhu briefly explained the whole thing from start to finish.

  "Are you saying that young man confessed to you in the grand auditorium?" Jiang Xinyue seemed to have heard a fairy tale.

  "Little aunt, didn't you listen carefully to what I said? I already told you, it's because I lost a bet!"

  "If I lost the bet, I wouldn't have the courage to do that!" Jiang Xinyue is now extremely curious: "That young man must be very good, right? Student representative, ah, his grades are definitely great. Ah, should we consider it, many loves start from this kind of thing, hmm, not bad, not bad, I'll take this as a blueprint next time."

  "Auntie, you really have a warped mind. Where in the world can romantic love happen anywhere?". Zhan Zhu Zhu was very skeptical of Auntie's optimism and romanticism: "Look at you, my pursuit of Xia Zhi Gege was simply a tragedy."

  "Mistake, it's a comedy process with a tragic ending, hehe, this kind of script is very popular among screenwriters." Jiang Xinyue teased Zhang Liuliang, who was the heroine of this tragicomedy: "Okay okay, tomorrow Xiaoyi will go and be your mom again. Let your mom give me two months' worth of fruit." She was really curious about the boy who had confessed to Liuliang.

  "Your fruit isn't wrapped up all year round!" Zhang Doudou doubted Xiaoyi's memory: "Then that's settled!"

  A floor-length dress, a slender waist, a small face the size of a palm, and black wavy hair. In order to be a good parent for Zhan Zhan, Jiang Xinyue left her homebody state and dressed up rarely.

  "Little aunt, you look pretty when you dress up, but you don't participate in social activities enough. Don't expect men to fall from the sky and land on your bed, men need to be found by going out!" Zhan Zhu Zhu thought to herself that indeed there are no ugly women, only lazy women.

  "All the men on the street are too mediocre, it's so disappointing that I don't even have the desire to write." Jiang Xinyue sighed, why can Prince Charming only be found in books.

  "Auntie, wake up, okay? At my age, I already know that one has to be realistic in life, don't be so naive. And who says there's no Prince Charming? Xia Zhi is definitely a Prince Charming! In fairy tales, he would be the prince riding a white horse, and in modern times, he's a rich and handsome guy."

  "I see, most of the eligible white horses have been taken. Jiang Xinyue sighed in distress, being a leftover woman is really frustrating, can't get married and won't settle for less, probably will end up wasting her life like this."

  "Tomorrow, I'll bring out our male PE teacher to show off to you, they're all in great shape, Auntie Bao will be satisfied!" Zhan Dandan patted her chest to guarantee it, those teachers are all buddies with her.

  "Cut, I'm not picking a horse, why do I need to be all brawny?!" Jiang Xinyue held the steering wheel with one hand and rested her cheek on the other, lost in reverie: "The kind of man I like should be elegant and refined, warm and gentle..."

  "Auntie, auntie, please drive carefully! You can't close your eyes just because you're thinking of men!" The passenger, Zhan Dai, tightened her seatbelt: "Auntie, do you know what kind of women men like?"

  "How old are you? Do you know?" Jiang Xinyue snorted in disdain.

  "Hey, you don't have to eat pork to know what a running pig looks like! Is there not a beauty like Jade in the book?

  Warrior: "Six great divine instruments that interest men: 1. Leopard print 2. Miniskirt 3. Silk stockings 4. Long boots 5. Steel pipe 6. Seductive eyes."

  "Are you mocking Xiao Yi?" Jiang Xinyue could only let herself lean on the second or third, can't a conservative woman be wanted by anyone? Is it not okay that she is open-minded?

  "How could it be, how dare he!" Zhan Er laughed and joked, "Not even been to school to see the pig head, how can you offend Little Auntie?" Xia Fei Han also said, "It's hard to raise only small men and women." "The only one who can satisfy all the wishes of a man is just one person, that is Sun Wukong."

  Jiang Xinyu burst out laughing and scolded her: "Where did you learn so many messy things!"

  "Heh heh, and also, do you know what kind of man most women like?"

  "Just say it directly, it's definitely not something good." Having lived with Jiang Xiner for three years, how could he possibly not understand his niece's personality.

  "Hey, Auntie, you're really not fun." Waru sighed and then picked up the pace again, telling jokes. If she herself didn't sound enthusiastic, how could others laugh? "The five things that interest women are: 1. High social status, 2. Dominance, 3. Sense of security, 4. Ability to protect you, 5. Devotion to you. Auntie, do you like them?"

  "I like it, of course I like it." Jiang Xinyue said matter-of-factly: "As long as his species is male, I can ignore which country he's from."

  "Cut, apart from Xia Zhi Gege, where in the world is there such a good man?" For Zhang Liuliang, there are only two kinds of men in this world, one is called Xia Zhi and the other is called others: "Alright, alright, the only one who meets the conditions for being a woman is just one, that is Tibetan Mastiff."

  During the conversation, the car had already arrived at the teaching and research building of the high school department. The school that had just started its holiday was exceptionally quiet and empty. Jiang Xinyue got out of the car and secretly sighed in relief. Last time when she was scolded by Director Hou from the junior high school department, it was in a large office with many people watching, making her wish to find a hole to hide in.

  "Auntie, come quickly!" Xiaoyu was as lively as a little monkey, full of energy, and ran up the stairs like flying.

  "Wait for me!" Jiang Xinyue was a writer who didn't exercise much and hated climbing stairs, which required physical strength.

  Her footsteps were hasty, her skirt was too long, and the heel of her sandals was really high. Jiang Xinyue only felt that her body was moving forward with inertia, but the heel of her shoe was tightly hooked on the step. Without any sports cells, Jiang Xinyue could only hold onto the handrail beside the step, hoping not to fall too badly...

  Without touching the cold, hard marble floor, she was enveloped in a sturdy and powerful embrace with a faint scent of ancient musk. Jiang Xinyue's long hair flew through the air like a waterfall, sweeping across her eyes, and from the gap, she caught sight of a middle-aged man's face.

  Distinct edges, hard expression, and an air of dominance. Not particularly handsome, at least not matching the male lead in her eyes, but somehow it gives a strong sense of security... Jiang Xinyue only felt her heart racing wildly, unsure if it was due to the lingering fear from almost falling or because she was lying in a stranger's arms for the first time.

  "Auntie! Are you okay?!" Warmed by Jiang Xinyue's "aiyo", Zhan Zhu Zhu hurriedly poked her little head out from the third floor, and then she saw the harmonious and loving scene downstairs. "Hey, thanks Uncle!"

  The uncle looked up and saw that the boy was smiling brightly, and behind him was a similar-looking young man.

  "Is the bear okay?"

  Digression

  Hehe, there's a clue about the relationship between DouDou and AnRan. What is it? Leave a message for ShanShan!
