Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 113 What a good man!

"Your mom is inviting our family to dinner?"

It was just after evening self-study had begun, outside the classroom of Class 2, Grade 9.

Liu Songyan took out his notebook and wrote down the names of Li Yan and his group who were planning to skip evening self-study.

He wrote down the names of several people in a long and flowing manner, then closed the notebook, rolled it up, and clenched it into a fist.

He smacked each of the people who were squatting against the wall on the head.

After a few "Ouch~" sounds, Liu Songyan did not turn his gaze to the crowd, but instead looked at Shen Ruzhi behind him with surprise.

Seeing that the other person's expression was serious, it didn't seem like they were joking with him.

Why are you inviting us to dinner?

"They said they wanted to thank Uncle Liu."

"Is this yet another underhanded trick you're using to try and match them up?"

Liu Songyan had great doubts about Shen Ruzhi's answer.

Once bitten, twice shy.

At the beginning of summer vacation, Shen Ruzhi kept running to my house, not only making outrageous remarks about trying to matchmake both sets of parents, but also spreading similar rumors like a fly in the following days.

She didn't say she was annoyed, but Liu Songyan was already annoyed by what she was hearing.

This situation continued for a long time until about a week after he got his haircut, when he stopped hearing Shen Ruzhi's crazy ramblings.

Hearing the boy's reply, especially the doubtful look in his eyes.

This deeply hurt Shen Ruzhi, who was the deputy class monitor.

She only learned of this news from her mother, Wen Yunwei, after returning home last night.

Being wrongly accused for no reason really made her feel bad.

"It was something my mom and uncle planned together, don't wrong me..."

"After all, you have a criminal record, so it's hard for me not to be suspicious."

"But I haven't said that in a long time..."

"The impression was too deep; I can't forget it."

"..."

Seeing Shen Ruzhi lower her eyes and stop talking, clutching the notebook rolled into a cylinder, Liu Songyan gave Li Yan another whack as he was about to move.

The frustration of the whole day finally became unbearable.

With bruises under his eyes, Li Yan suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at Liu Songyan, who was a head taller than him.

"Don't go too far, why did you hit me again!"

"Who asked you to move?"

My leg is numb!

"You were pretty quick when you tried to skip class by climbing over the wall, but your legs went numb after less than a class period?"

"..."

Liu Songyan shifted his gaze from Shen Ruzhi and glanced disdainfully at Li Yan, who was still somewhat unconvinced.

Under such gazes, Li Yan gritted his teeth.

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

He glared angrily at Liu Songyan, who stood in front of him without backing down.

With a determined heart, he covered his head and squatted down next to the others.

The others who had been caught looked at the dejected Li Yan with suspicion, noticing the stark contrast between his usual arrogant demeanor and his current obedient appearance.

There were five people in a row. Apart from the two squatting next to Li Yan, the other two were quite puzzled.

Why is Li Yan afraid of Liu Songyan?

And... how come the three of them have bruises and swelling on their faces?
"that……"

Of the two who were unharmed, the one on the far right silently raised his hand.

He squatted by the wall and looked at the class monitor and vice class monitor of Class 2, Grade 9 in front of him.

"I'm in Class 3, could you let me go back first... I still need to go back for evening self-study..."

"Class 3? What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you capture me?"

The boy who spoke was a bit loud, but when he saw Liu Songyan staring at him, he lowered his voice.

"We used to be in the same class, and we made a pact to skip class and go online together..."

"Squad leader, as you know, I don't know him!"

The male student from Class Two immediately became anxious and hurriedly tried to explain to Liu Songyan.

Two people who were originally friends betrayed each other without any sense of loyalty when disaster struck.

The male students in Class 3 were very hurt.

"Are you trying to distance yourself from this?"

"You were the one who tried to run away first!"

"I wasn't even in your class to begin with!"

"What are you yelling for! Why are you shouting so loudly?!"

"What the hell..."

"..."

Seeing the two squatting by the wall and starting to fight, Liu Songyan grabbed his notebook and hit each of them again.

The farce ended, and the five people were now obediently squatting with their heads in their hands.

Liu Songyan said to Shen Ruzhi beside him.

"If anyone dares to touch you, you'll knock them on the head."

Liu Songyan handed the notebook to Shen Ruzhi, and then warned the other five people.

"If you dare to resist, you'll just have to wait and see."

His gaze fell on the guy who had just been shouting that he was from Class 3.

"I'll go to your class and ask. Once I've verified it, I'll let you go back."

"Please be kind, Brother Liu, I really am from the third shift."

"Words are not enough; I need to ask in person."

After asking the other person's name, Liu Songyan walked away, heading towards the location of Class 3, Grade 9.

As the first period of evening self-study began, apart from a few students who had skipped class squatting in the corridor, there were almost no other people in sight.

Holding the notebook rolled into a cylinder, Shen Ruzhi stared intently at the five people in front of her.

Seeing that Li Yan couldn't help but move again, he immediately used the object in his hand to slap him down.

Last semester, when she was in the second year of junior high school, Shen Ruzhi was the class monitor of Class 4.

She had long heard the class monitor from the next class complain about Li Yan's disgusting deeds, and she had even been humiliated by him when he caused trouble for Chi Jinhe.

The great revenge has not yet been taken; it's just that the time has not yet come.

Seeing Li Yan get hit again, she then clutched her head and glared fiercely at her.

Shen Ruzhi gripped the book in her hand tightly, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

However, Li Yan did not act impulsively. He just glared at her and then became obedient again.

Last night in the alley, none of the three of them could defeat Liu Songyan.

Even a day later, Li Yan still vividly remembers the scene of Liu Songyan kicking up the wall and delivering a flying kick.

He still can't understand why Liu Songyan's physical condition is so good, even though they are about the same age.
It's simply not human!
He was also quite crazy; he had only spent the summer vacation and had completely forgotten that when he first entered junior high school, he had witnessed Liu Songyan challenging many senior students who were above his grade level.

If he had known the other party was really that formidable, he should have continued to endure for a while longer.

Impulsive.

Liu Songyan, who had entered Class 3, reappeared in their sight.

The male student who was mistakenly arrested immediately showed a hopeful look in his eyes.

When Liu Songyan came to the group again.

Before he could speak, he heard Liu Songyan's voice.

"You really are from Class 3."

"It's the real deal, Boss Liu! I've been framed!"

"What wrong have you done?"

"what?"

Looking at the dumbfounded students from Class 3 in front of him, Liu Songyan spoke up.

"It's true that you attempted to skip class, according to our Class Two rules..."

"Wait a minute? Your Class Two even has class rules?"

"I made the decision, is there a problem?" She frowned and glanced at the boy who seemed to have an opinion.

"Your teacher said that I can do whatever I want with you, so even though you are from Class 3, you still have to follow the rules of Class 2."

"..."

"Let's squat together. After the first evening self-study session, go back and write a self-criticism, and hand it in for me to check tomorrow."

"..."

"You guys are the same."

The five people squatting by the wall had different expressions, but none of them dared to refuse.

Looking at Liu Songyan, the former campus legend in front of him, who was known as someone you should never look into the eye.

Although the teenagers used to have strange hairstyles, they never meddle in other people's business.

He is now handsome, but he worries about things that don't concern him.

Whether they study or not is their business, and the teachers don't care, but he's the one who's been meddling in it.

Yesterday, Liu Songyan personally promised his father that he would be a good class monitor and live a positive and fulfilling life.

I must not just keep my promise to my father.

Shen Ruzhi stood quietly to the side.

Those eyes that looked at the boy.

Getting brighter.

------------

"Are you home yet? How's business?"

"Oh, I see... Then we'll give you a little free advertising while the film crew is filming there."

"My parents? They're doing great!"

An Zhaoran hid in her room, as if she had returned to her teenage years.

Since that phone call last night, she has come to enjoy the feeling of having long phone conversations with Liu Changcun.

Listening to the voice coming from the receiver, Mingming felt a great relief from the fatigue of preparing for the new program.

After washing up, she sat on the edge of the bed, constantly fiddling with her hair.

This will prevent your hair from becoming frizzy after blow-drying.

A beaming smile.

"Really? Wanqiu can ride a bicycle now?"

"Did you teach me? That's amazing!"

"Who's better... of course, it's Wanqiu who's better."

"Hehe~"

"You're amazing, aren't you? I didn't expect a grown man like to be praised."

"Okay, okay~ I know..."

Just as she was about to say something more, An Zhaoran immediately noticed that the doorknob was being turned from the outside.

She finished work in a second, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to her usual serious demeanor.

He immediately moved the phone from his ear to his mouth.

She resembled a female special agent on a mission in a movie, calmly and collectedly reporting the true situation of the battle to her comrades on the other end of the phone.

"The doorknob is moving, I have to go now."

"I'll call you back later."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, An Zhaoran leaned over the bed, tucked the phone under the pillow, and then gently patted the soft pillow to make sure it was secure.

Then, barefoot, she explored the slippers by the bed, put them on, and walked towards the door.

Unlock the deadbolt and open the door.

I looked at the figure standing outside.

"mom."

"Are you on the phone with Xiao Liu?"

"You're eavesdropping again!"

Hearing her daughter's proud grumbling, Guo Yan waved her hand with a smile.

"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just wanted to ask if you want some fruit."

"I don't want to eat... I've already washed up."

"Just wash it again after you finish eating."

"You're trying to eavesdrop. If you keep doing this, I'm moving back to my apartment!"

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb you young people's romance."

Seeing that An Zhaoran had lost her temper, Guo Yan, as her mother, could only smile and agree.

Noticing that her daughter's face was gradually turning red, she abruptly closed the door again.

The sounds coming from inside the locked room reached her ears through the door.

Guo Yan couldn't help but feel happy as her loving mother smiled.

This time, instead of eavesdropping at the door as usual, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

There was no such thing as pre-cut fruit; it was just an excuse from a mother.

Upon entering the room, I saw my husband leaning against the headboard, engrossed in reading a newspaper.

Since she disposed of the computer, Anju Nan has started reading newspapers again, and has resubscribed to all kinds of newspapers.

Arriving at the dressing table, Guo Yan squeezed the bottles and jars, poured some into her palm, rubbed it in her hand to spread it evenly, and then gently patted her cheeks like a seal patting its belly.

After finishing her skincare routine before bed, she turned to face her husband at the head of the bed.

Where should we have a get-together in a while?

"I don't know, we'll wait for your notification."

"They're all friends I haven't seen in a long time, right?"

"Old Li, Old Wang, Old Feng, Old Zhang... plus me, that makes seven."

"I don't need to go this time, right?"

"Look at them. If they bring their families, I'll take you with me. If they don't, you can stay at home."

"By the way, should we bring up the topic of engagement with Ranran before the end of this year?"

"got engaged?"

An Junan finally looked away from the newspaper and glanced at his wife sitting in front of the dressing table.

"In my opinion, we should skip the engagement and just let them get married."

"How can you not get engaged? Even if it's a simple ceremony, both families should sit down together."

"Xiao Liu's parents are no longer with us."

"I almost forgot about this..."

Hearing her husband's reminder, Guo Yan then remembered.

He quickly slapped his mouth, feeling guilty for his inappropriate thought.

The thought of Liu Changcun living alone for so many years filled Guo Yan with sadness.

Feeling down, Guo Yan paused for a moment before speaking again.

“We’ll treat him like our own child from now on. He’s good-looking and has a good personality. I’m quite satisfied with him.”

"Ah."

With a cold response, An Junan looked at the newspaper again.

While reading the local news in the newspaper, I saw a story about a man who was beaten by someone hired by a woman because he concealed the fact that he was already married.

"There are all kinds of people in this world. Married men still seduce other women. How disgusting."

"what?"

"From the newspaper."

An Junan casually agreed, feeling fortunate that her daughter had a good eye for choosing a husband.

In his opinion, Liu Changcun was impeccable in every way.

As an elder, he thought highly of the other party.

After seeing the news published in the newspaper, he praised Liu Changcun for his humble origins but his integrity.

He's such a rare and wonderful man.

They're almost as good as him.
