Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The small supermarket was unusually quiet at lunchtime.

Liu Chunmei sat behind the cashier, with a thermos cup beside her, steam rising from its rim.

A regular customer just came in and bought two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of soy sauce.

After the bill was paid and the customer left, the shop became quiet again.

Only the occasional low hum of the freezer and the bustling daily life on the street remain.

She lowered her head and started scrolling through her phone.

Perhaps due to the speed of information dissemination, the owners of nearby shops have all become obsessed with short videos.

Whose child is getting married? Which shop is having a promotion?

Even trivial matters happening in cities several miles apart can be found in videos.

Liu Chunmei initially thought that this thing was a complete waste of time.

But as I kept scrolling, it somehow became a habit; after all, I was just sitting anyway...

The kitten ran past the camera in its slippers.

Pretty cute, scroll away.

The livestreamer tried eating spicy snacks in front of the camera, and his face turned bright red from the spiciness.

This is not healthy at all. People are going to such extremes these days just to make videos?

Swipe away.

Immediately afterwards, another video popped up.

The scene shows the streets of Jiangcheng.

The lights are warm in the evening, and pedestrians come and go.

The video is accompanied by a line of text:

The street couples I photographed over the years are so sweet and youthful.

Liu Chunmei sighed at her youth, and had already raised her hand, ready to swipe away as usual.

But the next second, his finger stopped at the top of the screen.

In the video, the boy turned his head slightly to the side, looking a little shy, while the girl smiled broadly...

All I could see was him.

That face...

Liu Chunmei squinted and brought the phone closer.

After staring at it for two seconds, she gently dragged the progress bar back to the beginning with her thumb.

The video is playing again.

Inside the crowded KFC, people come and go.

The girl held the boy's hand as they walked through tables laden with plates.

The boy, carrying a bag, would occasionally glance down at her.

The girl's smile was exceptionally beautiful.

Her eyebrows were curved, and her skin was fair...

She's as beautiful as a TV star.

Liu Chunmei remained silent.

She watched the video from beginning to end, and then went back to watch it a second time.

On her third viewing, she deliberately paused on the scene where the boy turned his head.

Eyebrows, eyes, bridge of the nose...

And that blank, bewildered expression...

If it's not his own son, then who else could it be?

Liu Chunmei remained silent for a long time.

For children, dating at this age is perfectly normal.

She simply never expected that her son, who usually spends all his time typing on his computer and even finds it troublesome to style his hair, would find such a beautiful girl.

And judging from the video, it was the girl who took his hand first.

Liu Chunmei's expression immediately turned slightly smug.

As expected of my son...

She first clicked "forward" and sent the video to Lu Shoucheng.

After thinking about it, I added another message.

[Liu Chunmei: Look, isn't this Xiao Lu?]

After sending the message, she opened the video again, paused on the screen where the girl appeared, and took a screenshot.

Use two fingers to zoom in.

On the screen, the girl turned her head slightly to the side, a smile playing on her lips, her skin dazzlingly white.

Liu Chunmei looked at it for a few seconds and couldn't help but let out a soft "Ouch!"

This girl is so beautiful.

Where did this silly child get such good fortune?

After hesitating for a moment, she still dialed Lu Xing's number.

……

At this moment, Lu Xing was sitting at the dining table in the living room.

Lu Ningning was doing her homework, lying across from him with her workbook spread out in front of her, her brows furrowed as if the sky were falling.

That's not wrong...

The holiday is almost over, but I haven't finished my homework. Isn't that like the sky falling?

"Why did you get this question wrong again?"

Lu Xing took a pen and wrote two lines on the draft paper.

"Just substitute this formula in, then continue calculating. It's very simple."

Lu Ningning bit the pen cap and muttered to herself:

"I... I just don't understand it..."

If you don't understand, read it again.

"You think everyone's like you, with their head full of code?"

Lu Xing smiled.

Just as he was about to retort, his cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Lu Xing picked up his phone and answered it casually.

"Feed?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, Liu Chunmei slowly began to speak:

"Are you hiding something from your mother while you're in Jiangcheng?"

Lu Xing paused slightly in his hand holding the phone, his heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason.

He probably guessed what had happened, but still managed a calm smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Still pretending?"

Liu Chunmei laughed in anger.

"Let's check WeChat."

Lu Xing paused for a moment, then opened WeChat.

Liu Chunmei sent a screenshot.

In the photo, he and Shen Qingyi are sitting by the window in KFC.

Shen Qingyi turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with a smile.

He turned his head to the side, looking silly, and the light from the window illuminated him clearly.

Lu Xing stared at the photo and fell silent.

It must be admitted that the speed of information dissemination on the Internet is indeed somewhat frightening.

Of course, Gu Yanchuan already had quite a few fans, and his filming skills were also quite good.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened so quickly that even my mom, who only watches short family videos, had seen it.

Besides, was that really his expression at the time?

I'll have to be more careful next time...

"Did you see that?"

Liu Chunmei's voice came through the receiver.

"I saw it."

"Is this you?"

"...It's me."

"What's the name of that girl next to you?"

Lu Xing paused for two seconds, then answered truthfully:

"Shen Qingyi".

"His surname is Shen..."

Liu Chunmei's tone suddenly became serious.

"Where are you from?"

"From Jiangcheng."

How old are you?

"The same age as me."

"Your classmate?"

"Yes, at the university."

"Oh my, we're studying the same major?"

"School of Foreign Languages, English major"

Liu Chunmei said "Oh" and then sighed softly.

No wonder he's his own creation; he can't even get close to any girl.

He's just like his father.

Just as Lu Xing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she immediately asked again:

"What does your family do?"

"this……"

Lu Xing raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

"Her family is quite well-off; her uncle and aunt are usually very busy with work."

"How long have you been talking?"

"Not long ago, right?"

Just a little over a lifetime?

"Could they have started dating in high school?"

"No, how could that be?"

Lu Xing said helplessly:

We met in college.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Chunmei finally seemed a little more satisfied.

"Is that so..."

But then, she couldn't help but ask:

"How did that girl treat you?"

Lu Xing paused for a moment, then unconsciously smiled.

"Good……"

"No, it should be exceptionally good."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Liu Chunmei gave a soft "hmm".

"That's good."

"The girl looks quite refined, so don't take advantage of her."

"No, when did I ever bully anyone?"

"You've bullied Ningning quite a bit."

Lu Ningning, who was sitting to the side, immediately looked up.

"right!"

Lu Xing turned and glanced at her.

"Why are you getting involved?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

Lu Ningning's head was practically pointing to the sky.

Liu Chunmei rambled on for a few more minutes, mostly telling Lu Xing to get along well with the other person.

Just before hanging up, she casually mentioned something:

"Whenever you have time, you can bring them back for a meal."

Lu Xing held his phone, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

"……good."

"If I have the chance, I'll bring her back for dinner."

"Just keep it in mind."

Liu Chunmei paused, then added:

"Oh, right, I'll keep the photos for now."

Lu Xing: "..."

"mom."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't send it to your relatives..."

"Ha, do I need you to teach me?"

Liu Chunmei gave a soft hum.

"Alright, I'm hanging up."

The call was abruptly ended.

Lu Ningning came closer.

"Let me see, let me see."

As she spoke, she reached for her phone.

Lu Xing didn't dodge either.

Lu Ningning opened the screenshot, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then clicked her tongue twice.

"Hehe, I knew I'd been found out."

Lu Xing looked at her.

"It seems like you already knew?"

Lu Ningning blinked, then immediately lowered her head, pretending to continue pondering the question.

"I don't know."

She wrote much faster.

If I pressed him any further, my brother would definitely tell my mom about me secretly watching short videos.

Looking at her guilty expression, Lu Xing could easily understand.

He raised his hand and gently patted Lu Ningning on the head.

"Focus on your work."

"oops!"

Lu Ningning covered her head and glared at him.

"If I grow short in the future, it'll all be your fault!"

Lu Xing ignored her and lowered his head again to look at the screenshot.

From the moment Gu Yanchuan filmed that video, he had considered that his family would find out about it.

Not just in his home...

And her home.

But when the matter was presented to him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Have you ever been this nervous when you participated in a competition?

but……

It seems that my mother quite likes Shen Qingyi.

Thinking of this, Lu Xing couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

How could I not like it?

After all, she was his wife.
