Chapter 171
Regarding Song Luokui going to visit the Chi Family, Chi Yu informed his parents about it soon, and they scheduled it for Saturday.
On Friday evening, Song Luokui was a bit nervous. She had seen Chi Yu's parents in the estate before, but she only treated them as ordinary uncles and aunts in the estate, perhaps exchanging polite greetings on the street.
However, this time she was going to visit them, which was a different identity, so Song Luokui tossed and turned almost until midnight before falling asleep.
It was unknown whether Chi Yu knew she was nervous, but at this moment he sent her a message: "Are you asleep?"
Song Luokui immediately picked up her phone when she saw it light up and replied: "No, I'm a little nervous."
Chi Yu: "Want to voice call?"
After thinking for a moment, Song Luokui picked up her earphones and answered Chi Yu's voice call.
"Hello?" It was Chi Yu's smooth voice on the other end.
"Hmm." Song Luokui responded, playing with a small plush toy on her bed.
Chi Yu: "Should I tell you a story?"
Song Luokui immediately smiled, "I'm not a kid anymore."
Chi Yu: "Who said only kids can listen to stories? You're my big kid, you can listen too."
The smile on Song Luokui's lips didn't fade. "Then sing for me. You sang very well when we were in Banras before."
Chi Yu didn't hesitate, "Okay."
Song Luokui closed her eyes and listened to Chi Yu singing a slow foreign song. She didn't understand the language, but it sounded beautiful, and her head started to feel heavy.
After a while, Chi Yu finished singing and called out to Song Luokui, "Luokui?"
There was no response from the other end, so he called again, "Baby?"
Turning up the volume to the maximum, Chi Yu could faintly hear Song Luokui's breathing – she had fallen asleep. He then softly said, "Wifey, good night."
Song Luokui knew nothing about it and almost overslept the next day. When she went downstairs, Chi Yu was already sitting in their living room, while Song Luosheng was sitting by the side, looking displeased but saying nothing.
Song Luokui: "Sorry, I overslept."
Chi Yu: "It's okay, take your time, no rush. It's just a few steps away anyway." He stood up. "Should we have breakfast first?"
Song Luokui: "Hmm."
From the side, Song Luosheng said, "Brother, you can accompany her."
Song Luokui: "...Brother, don't cause trouble. How would that look?" If it wasn't for the two families meeting for their marriage.
Song Luosheng realized it would be inappropriate, so he picked up a newspaper and started reading it.
After Song Luokui finished breakfast and got ready, she and Chi Yu took the gift and left the Song Family to visit the Chi Family.
At this time, the Chi Family home had already been cleaned spotless by the maid Aunt Qian early in the morning. There was not a single piece of trash on the table or in the trash cans, and Aunt Qian kept looking outside to see if they had arrived.
Chi Yong seemed quite composed, reading a newspaper, "No need to rush, our son hasn't been gone for long."
From the side, Yan Sui said, "Hmm, no need to rush, so you can turn the page of your newspaper now."
Chi Yong: ...
"They're here, I see the young master and the young lady from the Song Family walking over," Aunt Qian came in and said.
Chi Yong immediately put down the newspaper and straightened his collar. "How do I look today?"
Yan Sui: "You look fine."
As she said this, she also stood up and looked out the window. When Song Luokui and Chi Yu walked to the door, the two of them immediately stood up.
As the door opened, Chi Yu came in first with the gifts. "Father, Mother."
Song Luokui followed behind, greeting them a bit shyly, "Uncle Chi, Aunt Yan."
Yan Sui immediately took the gifts from her hands. "You're here, and you even brought gifts. How thoughtful of you. Come in and sit down. Have some fruit – Little Yu said you like cherries and strawberries, we have those here, as well as bananas, apples, oranges, buddha's hand fruits, and more. Tell Auntie what you'd like to eat."
From the side, Chi Yong said, "Yes, yes, come and sit down. Have you had breakfast? I'll ask Aunt Qian to make something for you."
Song Luokui nodded obediently, "I ate before coming."
Yan Sui: "Then have some fruit."
Aunt Qian also quickly brought tea and a few plates of pastries and small cakes, filling the coffee table in the living room with delicious food.
Chi Yu sat beside Song Luokui. This was the first time he had seen his parents so enthusiastic.
They both smiled warmly at Song Luokui, speaking in a gentle tone, asking her some questions, mainly about whether her studies were stressful, if anyone at school bullied her, if their son had bullied her, and so on.
Afterwards, they also inquired about Song Moqian and Sheng Rong.
Soon after, Yan Sui brought out a photo album and showed Song Luokui pictures, most of which were of Chi Yu from childhood to adulthood.
There were more photos from his childhood, but fewer as he grew older.
"He didn't like taking pictures after growing up, so there are fewer photos," Yan Sui said.
Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu and raised her eyebrows – he didn't like taking photos? They had a lot of couple photos together. Chi Yu hooked her finger.
Song Luokui turned back and continued looking. Yan Sui pointed at one photo and said, "This was taken after he got into a fight with your brother and was caught. Isn't he cute? He was in pain then, but he didn't cry."
From the side, Chi Yong added, "I punished him severely afterwards."
Yan Sui: "Speaking of which, he and your brother fought from childhood to adulthood. Your brother must have resented him going to your family's home, right? He deserved it. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have let him be so arrogant when he was young."
Song Luokui smiled, "A little bit." Chi Yu, eating fruit on the side, didn't refute.
Afterwards, Song Luokui also saw his high school photos. In the pictures, Chi Yu had already started showing hints of his stunning looks as an adult – aloof, wearing a school uniform, holding a basketball.
There were also group photos of him with the basketball team, with Chi Yu in the center, wearing a sweatband on his forehead and a basketball jersey, his muscular arms visible, standing out from the crowd at a glance.
After chatting with Yan Sui and Chi Yong for a while, Chi Yu took Song Luokui upstairs to his room.
Chi Yu directly let her sit on his bed, while Song Luokui was still holding the photo album. "I don't think I saw you much when you were in high school. Or did we ever meet?"
Song Luokui pointed at a photo of him in his high school uniform. "You looked quite fresh at that time, very handsome."
Chi Yu moved closer to her: "I've seen you before, but you probably haven't noticed me. Don't I look good now?"
Song Luokui raised her eyes: "You look good, but now you look mature, while before you seemed a bit younger." There is a difference between being a tall young man and being out in the world.
Chi Yu put his hand on his head, "You mean I look old now? I think I need to prove otherwise." With that, he leaned in towards her. 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚
Song Luokui fell back on the bed, pushing him away, "No, no, you're more attractive now, not old at all."
Chi Yu gave her a light kiss without teasing her further, then pulled her up. It was only then that Song Luokui took a good look around his room. His room was about the same size as hers, as the rooms in the large courtyard house were all similar in style, but the layouts were a bit different.
Apart from a single bed, there wasn't much else in the room, just a desk, a cabinet, and some models displayed on one side.
Chi Yu: "I started moving out during college, so I don't have many belongings."
