Volume 1: When I Was Young Chapter 44: Clinging to Relatives

  Is An An okay? The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and turned his head to glance at An Ran, who's face slightly flushed without explanation.

  "Oh no, is that Little Uncle Zhou?" Warmed up and took a look at Little Aunt lying in someone's arms without reacting, the expression was similar to when the male lead appears on stage, suddenly felt like there was something going on. The only thing unclear was the other person's age, guessing they must be married already. This affair with a younger woman, can't be done."

  She was jumping up and down on the outdoor staircase like a monkey, making the middle-aged man frown and An Ran's heart beat rapidly. My god, is she performing acrobatics? Finally able to understand her nickname "Great General", just this bravery and agility is enough to be fierce.

  "Hello, are you Jiang Xinrui?" The middle-aged man helped Jiang Xinrui sit up straight, and Jiang Xinrui was still a bit dizzy and couldn't speak.

  "Hey, uncle! Uncle is great!" Waru Waru stretched out his small paws in a very familiar manner and shook hands with the man in an exaggeratedly warm way, like a little demon spirit. "Sorry about that, I had a bit of a misunderstanding with An Ran, which ended up troubling you to come all this way."

  The man looked at An Ran again, as if asking if this was the girl he liked. An Ran awkwardly stared back at Zhan Yu, too embarrassed to respond.

  How embarrassing! How did I have the courage to say such disgusting and cheesy words yesterday?

  "It doesn't matter, I just happened to know Anran's classmate, nice to meet you."

  A resolute man is especially masculine! However, that faint mustache will probably never grow out for Xia Zhi's brother. Hmm, but An Ran is very likely to be a sunny and overbearing type. Waruwaru gave the man 90 points in her heart, paired with the petite aunt, really not bad: "Come on, uncle and aunt, let's go upstairs! Fat head pig - oh no, it's Director Zhu who must be waiting anxiously!"

  "Thanks a lot just now!" Jiang Xinyue finally came back to her senses, her face red and puffed up like a lady's.

  "It doesn't matter, be careful on your way." The man replied calmly and elegantly.

  Jiang Xinyue and Zhang Yinan went up to the fourth floor together, with Zhang Yinan in front and Jiang Xinyue behind. Along the way, Zhang Yinan was still muttering to himself: "Hey, Xiong An'an, your dad is also busy! You tell Uncle Zhou that later, just listen carefully then. Uncle Zhou, no matter what Director Zhu says, just pretend he's farting..."

  The man listened with a smile that was not a smile, occasionally looking at An Ran, who felt embarrassed and could only shout loudly: "Zhan Zhu Zhu, are you finished yet?"

  "Hey! I'm being kind and sharing my experience with you, but... Ah, forget it, I'll let it slide this time for the sake of Little Uncle Zhou. But Warbler really wanted to teach a lesson to Bear An'an who was following closely behind, however, she was afraid that going too far would give others a bad impression and affect her aunt's opinion, so she held back for now."

  Suddenly thought of something, warily letting the two adults go first, then pulling An Ran back and whispering in his ear: "Hey, Xiong An'an!"

  "What are you doing?" Under the man's gaze, An Ran gritted her teeth and tried to shake off the pulling of Zhan Zhu Zhu, but a woman's strength was truly worthy of being called "bear power".

  "Get the scoop!" For Zhan Yudie, as long as someone isn't a bad person, they aren't an enemy of this embodiment of justice.

  Where did this girl with such thick lines come from? Where did this girl who is so familiar with herself come from? Where did this girl who can't be figured out come from? Where did this strange girl come from? An Ran felt like she was going to collapse, and just wanted to get rid of her quickly: "What's the matter, ask quickly!"

  "Hey, no big deal!" Warbler glanced at the robust back in front of him with his big eyes: "Does that handsome uncle have a wife?"

  Handsome uncle? An Ran looked at the back of the person in front with a strange expression, then glanced at Xue Ze who was clearly up to something, and suddenly thought of Jiang Xin Yue's behavior. A terrible idea emerged - no way! Were all the women from their family so outrageous?

  In his mind, Zhan Yu immediately became a vicious female wolf... His little aunt had taken a liking to Uncle Wei at first sight, so was it possible that Zhan Yu had also taken a liking to him at first sight and then intentionally caused all this trouble?

  Is it really because Xia Zhi is about to graduate and she needs to find the next handsome and pitiful little sheep?

  …

  "Hey, what's on your mind? Is the question that difficult? I'm asking you a question." The person next to him impatiently waved his hand at him.

  "Ah?" An Ran came back to her senses and looked at Zhan Zhu Zhu with a profound meaning: "Get married."

  Married? Alas, what a pity! I told your aunt to make her move and chase men early on. Now it's too late, all the good horses have been ridden away by other women.

  Zhan Zou let out a sigh, quickened his pace and intercepted Jiang Xinyue halfway, leaning in to whisper a few words in her ear. Jiang Xinyue's face, which had been blooming with joy, instantly wilted, and she gazed at the handsome back with a sorrowful look, helplessly shrugging her shoulders towards Zhan Zou.

  They can't be bad people, neither in a practical sense nor in a moral one. That's their family tradition.

  Entering the director's office, Director Zhu nodded and came over to shake hands with the handsome man: "Director An, sorry for the trouble, thanks for coming all the way here!"

  An Dong? With the surname An? Isn't that the same surname as Xiong An'an? Zhan Pengpeng looked at An Ran, then looked at the man, and only then did he realize that the two people seemed to have a 60-70% resemblance... Oh no, oh no, why did I take it for granted and listen to An Ran's words yesterday, thinking that he was also here as a proxy parent?

  He's someone else's real father! And she actually just tried to make someone else's father her own uncle-in-law!

  It's so embarrassing!

  That little brat An Ran wouldn't think he's related to me, would he?

  Bitterly grieved and wanting to cry but having no tears.

  After shaking hands, Director Zhu turned to Zhan's mother and his expression changed instantly, like a Sichuan opera actor changing masks: "Zhan! Is this your mother?"

  Just as Zhan Zhan was about to say something, Jiang Xinyue's hand that had been trembling all along suddenly shot up: "Um, I'm her younger aunt, and I'm not married yet..."

  Almost spat out a mouthful of blood, Auntie! It's already too late! Don't be afraid of what others think about you being married or not. Don't forget today's glorious mission!

  Jiang Xinyue's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly came up with an excuse: "Ah, my sister and brother-in-law have gone to Guangdong, they won't be back for a while." For someone who was used to bragging about their hygiene habits, telling a small lie was no big deal.

  The director of education nodded with a bit of attitude, acknowledging this statement, and then asked everyone to sit down.

  "This matter, I believe the two children have already told you about it when they went back. Now, we just want to come over and discuss with you the ideological education of this child." Director Zhu put on a director's air, sighing: "An Ran is our school's next year's top student candidate, still has one year, can't make any deviation in ideology at all, this early love..."

  "We're not dating!" shouted Zhan Zhan and An Ran in unison.

  "Cough!" The director cleared his throat to adjust the atmosphere. "I didn't say you're having an early romance! I just said the problem of early romance!"

  "Director, universities can get married, so even if we're in high school and dating, it's not a problem, right?" Jiang Xinyue, who had written many stories about childhood sweethearts, couldn't take it anymore. Just now, someone said that An Ran would be the top scorer next year, but their classmate Liuliang scored tenth this year, and in just ten days she could reach that level, who knows, maybe three years later she'll be the top female scorer? She particularly disliked Zhu Tou's comment.

  And she hasn't even been in love yet, let alone had a breakup, her emotions are all over the place!

  Digression

  Is this the end of the relationship between Obi-san and An-san? For An's sake, I couldn't bring myself to use the fan...
