Zhao Yanxi slowed down her movements as she picked up food.

"Hmm... She spent the Chinese New Year in Changsha."

"Haven't you been back for years, have you?"

Zhou Rongmei sighed, "The last time I saw her was when her sister got engaged. How are things going with that girl and her boyfriend now?"

"pretty good."

Zhao Yanxi lowered her head and ate her rice, giving a vague response.

"What about her boyfriend? Have you had much contact with him? What kind of person is he?"

"Forehead……"

Zhao Yanxi's expression was indescribable.

Zhou Rongmei didn't notice her daughter's change and continued to nag, "You and Wenjing grew up together. You should keep an eye on her. That girl is honest; be careful she doesn't get scammed."

Zhao Yanxi subconsciously turned her head to look at Ding Heng.

Ding Heng slowly put down his chopsticks and smiled at Zhou Rongmei: "Auntie, I've met that person. He's barely a good person."

Zhao Yanxi's lips twitched as she listened.

Good grief, is he giving himself a "friend zone" card?

Zhou Rongmei didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement with Ding Heng's words.

"That's good. If he's a good person, you should get to know each other better in the future."

"Oh……"

Zhao Yanxi obediently responded.

She really wanted to say something sarcastic to the man, but she swallowed the words back.

My dad's still around, who knows if he'll sniff out something fishy...

Zhou Rongmei continued, "Didn't you say last time that you two were going to get married together? What, is there any discussion about it?"

Zhao Yanxi almost choked on her rice and coughed twice.

"Mom, that was so long ago, do you still remember?"

"How could I not remember? Are you joking, or are you serious?"

"Well! It's hard to say, hard to say..."

Zhao Yanxi could only murmur a sigh, sounding old-fashioned.

After dinner, the two went out for a walk.

Winter in Zhuzhou is not much better than in Changsha, and it has an added layer of grayness typical of industrial cities...

Zhao Yanxi put her hands into Ding Heng's coat pockets and leaned closer to him out of habit.

"Brother Ding Heng."

"Ah."

"You heard what my mom just said, right?"

"I heard you."

Ding Heng bluntly stated, "Isn't it just to urge you to get married sooner?"

Zhao Yanxi didn't speak, but after taking a few steps, she spoke again.

Do you think my mom suspected something? Did she say those things on purpose to test me?

"Your mother works in the system, so most people have this kind of personality."

Ding Heng gripped her hand tightly and teased, "Before university, I was afraid you would have contact with the opposite sex. Now that you've graduated, I wish you would get married on the spot and give her a grandson."

And I guess she already has PTSD because of your uncle…

Zhao Yanxi sighed repeatedly.

Ding Heng's analysis was absolutely correct, but she still felt a strange pressure in her heart.

While she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang. Zhao Yanxi took it out of her pocket and saw that it was her uncle.

"Hello? Uncle? Aren't you busy with your engagement? Why are you calling me?"

Zhou Rongsen chuckled on the other end of the phone.

"Yan hope, are you free tomorrow?"

"what?"

"I have something to do tomorrow, I have to go out. Your aunt needs to buy dresses and wedding gowns, and she can't manage it all by herself. You have a classmate, what's her name again... Hua Yue? Her family makes custom clothing?"

"There is such a person..."

"Your aunt is thinking of ordering a few sets, could you help me make an appointment?"

"alright."

Zhao Yanxi agreed: "What time tomorrow?"

"I'll have your aunt pick you up at 10 a.m.

"No need, I'll drive there myself."

Hey, everyone has a car!

"Of course! My husband bought it for me!"

"Go away...you shameless brat."

After exchanging a few jokes, Zhou Rongsen hung up the phone.

Zhao Yanxi put her phone back in her pocket and turned to look at Ding Heng.

Are you going tomorrow?

"I won't go. I have some things to take care of in Xingcheng tomorrow."

Zhao Yanxi said "Oh" without asking what was wrong.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ding Heng spent the night at Zhao Yanxi's house. The next morning, he bid farewell to Zhao Xingguo and Zhou Rongmei and drove back to Xingcheng alone.

Around noon, a message suddenly popped up on my phone.

【Lucky Zhao】: [Image.jpg]

Zhao Yanxi stood in the fitting room, wearing a champagne-colored bridesmaid dress, and made a V-sign at the camera.

[Lucky Zhao]: Brother Ding Heng, do you think the bridesmaid dresses she chose are pretty?

【Lucky Zhao】: [Cat looking forward to it.jpg]

Ding Heng: [Not bad.jpg]

[Ding Heng]: Is your aunt planning to have you be her bridesmaid?

[Lucky Zhao]: No, I was just trying it out for her best friend.

Zhao Yanxi is so stunning that anyone who dares to ask her to be their bridesmaid should think twice, lest they be completely overshadowed on their wedding day.

A moment later, another photo appeared.

【Lucky Zhao】: [Image.jpg]

This time it wasn't a bridesmaid dress, but a traditional Chinese wedding gown, complete with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and her makeup was impeccable.

The photographer was quite skilled, and Zhao Yanxi is naturally beautiful, so the overall picture was full of artistic conception.

[Lucky Zhao]: What about this set? Does it look good?

Ding Heng opened the photo and let out a long sigh.

Actually, he had already sensed the kitten's feelings yesterday...

Despite her carefree and easygoing nature, Zhao Yanxi is the only girl among all the girls who, influenced by her family upbringing, still longs for a proper wedding with Ding Heng.

Ding Heng withdrew from the photo and gave a formal reply.

[Ding Heng]: It's still not quite right. Shall I order a custom set for you later?

【Lucky Zhao】: [Smiling cat.jpg]

Instead of choosing "good" or "bad," they opt to avoid using perfunctory emojis.

The kitten knew in its heart that it wasn't its owner's only little cutie.

If you have it, other cuties will probably have it too.

I won't say it too explicitly; I'll leave it as a thought.

Good……

Chapter 301: The Kitten's Social Lesson (24-hour update, continues at 11 PM)

In the following days, everything proceeded as planned.

After spending the Lunar New Year with my maternal grandparents, everyone went to Hainan Island for a vacation on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

The only unexpected thing was that Wen Shu didn't go; instead, she stayed home for the New Year...

The tropical sunshine and the damp, cold city of Changsha are like two different worlds.

The girls changed into their pre-prepared swimsuits and splashed and played in the sea.

Ding Heng spent most of his time lying under the parasol, drinking and leisurely enjoying the beautiful spring scenery, occasionally being pulled into the water to act as a swimming instructor.

These leisurely days continued until the morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year.

Zhao Yanxi packed her luggage early, said goodbye to the other girls, and went to the airport with Ding Heng.

More than two hours later, the plane landed in Changsha.

Feeling the familiar damp cold, Zhao Yanxi quickly put on her down jacket, her teeth chattering from the cold.
