A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

The car was parked in the underground parking lot.

Li Xixue took out the key, and neither of them was in a hurry to get out of the car.

Lu Yang remembered what Song Qiulan had said before: this trip abroad was to bring Li Xixue's younger brother back.

If I calculate the time, I mentioned a rough date when I left last time, so I should be back by now.

"Oh, right."

Lu Yang turned to Li Xixue and asked, "What's your brother's name?"

Li Xixue casually replied, "Li Xiaochen."

How big?

"One year younger than you."

Lu Yang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the two got out of the car and went up the elevator.

Li Xixue still had that expressionless look on her face.

But Lu Yang noticed that her pace was a little faster than usual.

He inserted the key into the door and turned it twice.

The door had just opened.

Song Qiulan's strong voice could already be heard from inside.

"After being away for so many years, you've forgotten all the rules, haven't you?"

Then came a young male voice.

"Mom, I just got off the plane, can't you nag me less?"

Li Xixue opened the door.

In the living room.

Song Qiulan stood with her hands on her hips, lecturing a young man.

His facial features are somewhat similar to Li Xixue's, but their temperaments are completely different.

Moreover, his most striking feature is that he has dyed his hair yellow.

He is Li Xixue's younger brother, Li Xiaochen.

"Minor Snow!"

Song Qiulan saw her daughter return first, and her face instantly lit up with a smile, "You're back?"

Li Xixue changed into slippers and went into the house, grunting in response.

When Li Xiaochen saw Li Xixue standing at the door, his expression changed instantly.

It's a reaction to bloodline suppression.

"Mom, that tigress..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Xixue instantly shot her a glare.

Li Xiaochen shrank back, her smile freezing on her face: "Why is my dear sister here too? She didn't even tell me beforehand."

Song Qiulan sighed from the side: "Look at you, you've been away for several years, but your courage hasn't grown at all."

Li Xiaochen said, looking aggrieved, "Mom, I just didn't think of her..."

"she?"

Li Xixue spoke up.

Just one word.

Li Xiaochen trembled and stood at attention: "Sister! I was wrong!"

Li Xixue then looked away, changed into slippers, and went inside.

Lu Yang stood in the entryway, watching this scene unfold.

It's clear that this kid has been dealt with quite a bit by his own sister over the years.

Now, Li Xixue finally has some status in this family.

Just as Li Xiaochen was trembling with fear because of the bloodline of her own sister.

He suddenly noticed Lu Yang standing at the door.

Li Xiaochen's gaze lingered on Lu Yang for a moment.

then.

His eyes lit up.

It's not just ordinary brightness.

It's that feeling of being dominated and fearful, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.

Li Xiaochen jumped up, rushed to Lu Yang, and excitedly grabbed his hand.

"Brother-in-law!"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, not yet able to react.

"What did you call me?"

"Brother-in-law!"

Li Xiaochen exclaimed with adoration, "My mom told me a long time ago! You're my sister's boyfriend!"

"Brother-in-law, you have no idea, my mom told me about your heroic deeds when I was abroad! I was shocked!"

"Honestly, there aren't many people I, Li Xiaochen, admire growing up, but you're one of them!"

"Just who is this incredible person who managed to handle my tigress?!"

tigress.

The moment those three words came out of his mouth, the temperature in the living room plummeted.

Li Xixue's face was expressionless, but when those eyes looked over, the hairs on the back of Li Xiaochen's body stood on end.

With his survival instincts kicking in, Li Xiaochen quickly darted behind Lu Yang.

"Brother-in-law, save me!"

Lu Yang: "..."

He looked down at Li Xiaochen clinging to his back, then looked up at Li Xixue, who was radiating a low-pressure aura.

The bloodline suppression is too strong.

Furthermore, there's the inherent suppressive power of Li Xixue herself.

He roughly guessed why Li Xiaochen went abroad...

"Alright, alright."

Song Qiulan spoke up: "You two just got back and you're already making a scene? Quiet down!"

Li Xixue withdrew her gaze.

Lu Yang shrugged, indicating that he was also innocently dragged into this.

Seeing that her older sister had temporarily stopped, Li Xiaochen slipped out from behind Lu Yang, looking as if she had escaped death.

"Brother-in-law, thank you for saving my life."

"...Don't call me that."

"Aren't you my sister's boyfriend?"

Li Xiaochen said matter-of-factly, "My mom said that since you two live together, it's perfectly fine for me to call you brother-in-law."

Lu Yang looked at Song Qiulan.

Song Qiulan smiled innocently.

Well, it's that mother-in-law's doing again.

However, Li Xiaochen was much more lively than I had expected, both in his manner of speaking and his personality.

He did the exact opposite of his own sister.

His blond hair, in particular, was very eye-catching.

Song Qiulan clapped her hands: "Alright, I'll cook dinner myself tonight. Xiaoyang, what do you want to eat?"

"Auntie, please make yourself at home," Lu Yang said.

Song Qiulan covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Why are you still calling me 'Auntie'? Shouldn't we change how we address you?"

Lu Yang: "?"

Li Xixue: "?"

Li Xiaochen: "(*ﾟ0ﾟ)ﾊｯ"

Song Qiulan smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you last time that once we bring Xiaochen back, we'll start preparing for your engagement?"

got engaged.

These two words were spoken.

Li Xixue's tone became somewhat hesitant: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Song Qiulan said matter-of-factly, "Engagement? You two have been living together for so long, you should have a proper status, right? Besides, you're not getting any younger..."

"Look at Aunt Zhang's daughter next door, she had two kids at the age of twenty-three."

Li Xiaochen was incredibly excited: "Engaged? Engaged is great! Brother-in-law, I'll be your best man!"

"Shut up."

Li Xixue glared at him and sent him packing.

Li Xiaochen shrank back into the corner of the sofa and fell silent.

Song Qiulan sat down next to Lu Yang, smiling, and said, "Little Yang, what do you think?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then said cautiously, "Auntie, perhaps we should postpone this matter?"

Song Qiulan sighed, "Look at them, one or two of them, they really don't give us any peace of mind."

However, she didn't insist: "Alright, alright, we can postpone the engagement for now."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Song Qiulan changed the subject:

"But you two have been living together for a while now, how's your relationship progressing?"

These words were spoken.

Li Xixue: "..."

Lu Yang: "..."

The two of them looked at each other.

The implication is that they need to hand in their homework.

Li Xiaochen immediately poked her head out from the corner of the sofa: "I know! I know!"

The three of them looked at him simultaneously: "What do you know?"

"They kissed today!"

The air in the entire living room seemed to freeze.

Song Qiulan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at Li Xiaochen: "Xiaochen, how did you know?"

Li Xiaochen held up her phone and waved it.

On the screen was Chen Yan's recent post on WeChat Moments.

The accompanying picture clearly shows the two kissing under a sycamore tree!

Mother-in-law: "(*ﾟ0ﾟ)ﾊｯ"
