Age: My Small World

During the meal, Meng Ran kept putting food on Yang Jun's plate.

Then he added, "By the way, Xiaoshan, take a can of malted milk powder with you when you go back later. It was a gift from your Uncle Wei's colleague, who should also be a teacher at your school."

Malted milk powder is still a very rare and high-end beverage these days. It tastes quite good when mixed with water, and its exquisite packaging makes it relatively expensive. Few people would buy it to try; it is mostly used as a gift during holidays.

In fact, if malted milk powder hadn't been domestically produced two years ago, it would probably be even more expensive now and wouldn't be available to ordinary households.

This stuff really became popular around the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, people had a more comfortable life and more spare money, so they were willing to buy a can of malted milk powder to try.

"How can this be? It was a gift to our family; what kind of logic is it to let me take it?"

Yang Jun declined.

He felt that malted milk powder was just so-so. Having tried all sorts of flavored milk teas, he couldn't appreciate how delicious malted milk powder really was.

However, the reason for declining was that it was really inappropriate to take other people's things home.

Meng Ran glared at her and said reproachfully, "What's wrong with that? The things are mine in my house, so I have the right to dispose of them, right? Take them back for your mom to try later. I'm giving them to your mom, not to you."

She wasn't swearing.

Yang Jun nodded with a wry smile: "Alright, alright, Aunt Meng, I'll take it with me later, okay?"

"That's right, come on, eat more meat."

Meng Ran smiled broadly and continued to serve him meat. Only the father and daughter exchanged a glance, feeling that their status in the family had plummeted.

After dinner, the four of them sat around the fireplace and chatted.

Yang Jun then grabbed Wei Ran's hand under the curtain and secretly tickled her palm, causing Wei Ran to glare at him from time to time.

Of course, she didn't let go either.

The two were having a great time, unaware that Wei's parents were watching.

This is nothing new to them; they've already done it all before.

Unable to bear the sight of the two gazing at each other so intently, Meng Ran waved her hand and said, "Ranran, didn't you say you bought a new outfit to show Xiaoshan? Go ahead, go ahead."

Wei Ran understood perfectly well that his mother wanted the two of them to be alone together.

So she nodded and said, "Yes, that's a good opportunity to go take a look."

As Wei Ran stood up, he glanced at Yang Jun, who remained motionless.

"Come on, what are you standing there for?"

Yang Jun then smiled sheepishly at Wei's parents.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'll go take a look first."

Once outside, Wei Ran couldn't help but give him a light punch.

"Didn't you realize it was my mom doing this on purpose? You're just standing there, not wanting to move. Tell me, do you not want to be alone with me? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Yang Jun quickly shook his head: "How could that be? I was just stunned for a moment."

Of course, the reality is that it's not easy for him to do this. How can he go to someone's daughter's room in front of her parents and be alone with her?

"come in."

Upon arriving at Wei Ran's room, she immediately took off the cotton coat she was wearing.

Instantly, her curvaceous figure came into Yang Jun's view.

"How is it? Does it look good?" To be honest, Wei Ran was quite mature, almost thirty years old, and very womanly, yet with a touch of girlish charm, making Yang Jun completely unable to resist her allure.

So he couldn't help but pull her into his arms.

"Ranran, you are so beautiful, you are beautiful no matter how you look at you."

Wei Ran pressed her cheek against his: "Then you've remained unmoved by me until now, I don't think you're a man."

Yes, they haven't broken through that final barrier yet, which has been a constant source of worry for Wei Ran.

The more Yang Jun acted this way, the more she wanted to break down this barrier, and she even started to actively try to get closer to him.

However, when Yang Jun thought of Cheng Xiaoyu, who was already married, and Gu Nanke, who was pregnant, he felt even more guilty towards Wei Ran. He knew very well that if he really indulged in pleasure with Wei Ran, then the outcome would be set, and they would not get married in the end. That's why he kept suppressing his feelings.

Perhaps Wei Ran understood his concerns, so he said, "If you keep hiding, I'll be thirty soon, and I'll be old in the blink of an eye."

"And you big fool, I told you long ago that I have no intention of getting married in this lifetime. What are you afraid of? Do you think I don't know about you, Cheng Xiaoyu, and Jiang Xueying? I'm already like this, and you're still hiding, being so indecisive."

When Wei Ran gets angry, he's truly a tiger.

Of course, for a woman who is almost thirty and has never been intimate with a man, she does need to be a little bold.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun clenched his fist.

Yes, Wei Ran has been waiting for him for so long, and it may continue like this. His reserve has hurt Wei Ran instead.

"Ranran, let's go out for a meal sometime. I'll treat you well."

Yang Jun's eyes hardened.

Wei Ran knew immediately that this guy had finally come to his senses; his blockhead had finally sprouted some green leaves.

She immediately looked up and kissed him: "Then let's do it this weekend, I'll be waiting for you anyway."

"Ah."

Yang Jun made his decision and didn't think too much about it at the moment. He just wanted to collect the interest from Wei Ran first.

Even though they tried to suppress their voices, bursts of laughter could still be heard from time to time.

in the living room.

"Hehe, your precious daughter is finally a little happier. Before Xiaoshan came to our house, Ranran liked to lock herself in her room, saying she wanted to read. I think she's just too lonely inside. She's been alone since she was little, doesn't have any friends, and doesn't like to play with people. If she continues like this, she'll just go down the same old path. Luckily, she has Xiaoshan."

“It’s my fault. If I hadn’t left you two at home back then, things might be better now. You were too scared to go out all day, which frightened Ranran and caused this lingering effect.”

They had all come through that chaotic period, and it wasn't easy for Wei Min to keep the family stable until now. Meng Ran could naturally understand his difficulties.

But in the end, they were still worried about Wei Ran.

They're almost thirty years old now, but there's still no progress between them and Yang Jun. They can't help but get anxious.

“Dad, do you think we should arrange a time to invite Xiaoshan and his mother to dinner? We should also discuss their relationship. We can’t keep dragging this on. If Ranran doesn’t get married soon, she’ll really become an old woman.”

Meng Ran felt uneasy talking about her daughter like this, but it was the truth.

Once you turn thirty, people start calling you "comrade woman"; you're no longer the little girl you used to be.

Or rather, these days, thirty years old is considered middle-aged, so it's no wonder Meng Ran is anxious.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Min nodded. (End of Chapter)
