Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 79: How did the senior student and he meet?

"good to eat!"

With her eyes shining, Liu Wanqiu gave the most honest evaluation.

There weren't many dishes on the table: stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

The rice served with the food allowed Liu Wanqiu, who was already starving, to have a satisfying meal.

Shen Ruzhi watched the girl eating voraciously with a smile on her face, and after a few seconds she looked to the side with a hint of smugness.

Watching Liu Songyan silently shovel rice into his mouth.

"How does it taste, Liu Songyan?"

"..."

Liu Songyan picked up some shredded potatoes and placed them on top of his rice. Hearing the girl's question, he stopped eating.

Silently turning her face towards the other person, and seeing the expectant look in their eyes, she reluctantly gave an affirmative answer.

"You win. You're definitely good at cooking."

"hey-hey."

"However, my cooking skills are far inferior to my dad's."

Liu Songyan took a big bite, chewing frantically, and only added a sentence after swallowing it completely.

Shen Ruzhi was not affected at all by this. On the contrary, when she heard the other party admit that she had won, the smile on her face became even more obvious.

He pressed his advantage and asked the other party again.

"So, how about it? Would you like to eat my cooking every day from now on?"

Liu Songyan understood the meaning behind the other person's words.

While her younger sister, Liu Wanqiu, was still fast asleep in her room.

Ever since Shen Ruzhi made her remarks about bringing their parents together, she has been relentlessly pestering him.

It seems that in her view, this is possible if both sets of children share the same opinion.

It was only a matter of time before Liu Changcun and Wen Yunwei got together.

Liu Songyan, the son, opposed the proposal.

Putting aside whether his father had such thoughts, even if he did, it shouldn't be something he, as the son, could interfere in.

Having suffered too much in his failed marriage, Liu Songyan was unwilling to see his father remarry an unsuitable person.

More importantly, if both sets of parents actually get together.

Then Shen Ruzhi in front of him would become his half-sister.

This alone is enough to make Liu Songyan oppose it to the end.

He didn't want to become Shen Ruzhi's brother.

If he could, he would even prefer that the other person not greet him when they see him.

Women are troublesome.

This is an important conclusion drawn from Liu Songyan's life beliefs.

"No need, my dad can cook too."

"But isn't your uncle very busy lately? Otherwise, he wouldn't have given you two money to buy food."

"I've just been a bit busy lately, but things will probably be different in a while."

"There are times when Uncle is not home, right?"

"I will learn to cook for myself in the future."

Liu Songyan delivered the decisive blow that killed the debate.

He put down his chopsticks for a moment and said to his younger sister who was eating heartily beside him.

"Late Autumn, starting tomorrow, your brother will cook for you."

"Uuuuuuu~"

With her mouth stuffed full of food, Liu Wanqiu stared wide-eyed, her head swaying from side to side like a rattle.

Ignoring his sister's resistance, Liu Songyan looked at Shen Ruzhi again.

"Look, my sister didn't object, so we don't need your suggestion."

"..."

Shen Ruzhi felt that Liu Songyan in front of her was really talking nonsense.

Even though Liu Wanqiu was shaking his head so hard it was practically flying, he still managed to lie through his teeth.

Shen Ruzhi, an only child, longs for a younger brother or sister.

On her way to Liu Songyan's house, she saw her mother, who was very happy talking to Uncle Liu, while sitting in the car.

She hadn't seen her mother so happy in a long time.

Even now, she still doesn't know what the relationship is between her mother and Uncle Liu.

However, it was clear that his mother did not object to Uncle Liu.

That's enough.

Shen Ruzhi felt helpless. In her opinion, this was a win-win situation, since Uncle Liu was currently single and her mother was in the same situation.

After the two got together, she was able to take care of Liu Songyan and Liu Wanqiu at home.

Whether it's cleaning or preparing and cooking.

She's good at all of these.

She was fully confident that she could keep the little home clean and tidy, but it wasn't enough for just her to do it alone.

If Liu Songyan was determined to oppose it, in her opinion, Uncle Liu, who was very family-oriented, would definitely listen to his child's opinion.

Only by bringing Liu Songyan to her side could she have the confidence to bring their parents together.

Since Liu Songyan disagrees, perhaps she can try working on another member of the family.

For example... Liu Wanqiu, who is still eating rice.

Thinking of this, she shifted her gaze from Liu Songyan to Liu Wanqiu, who was engrossed in eating.

With a gentle smile on her face, Shen Ruzhi adopted the demeanor of an older sister.

"Late Autumn, from now on, would you like to eat your older sister's cooking or your older brother's cooking?"

"My sister made it!"

It was blurted out without thinking.

As the younger sister, Liu Wanqiu had never seen her brother cook, so she didn't believe in his cooking skills at all.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Shen Ruzhi glanced once more at Liu Songyan, who remained silent.

Then he smiled and said to Liu Wanqiu.

"How about I cook for you every day from now on?"

"Okay, okay~"

Liu Wanqiu grinned, revealing his large teeth, with a few grains of rice still stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Completely disregarding her brother's feelings at the dinner table, she undoubtedly sided with Shen Ruzhi.

Looking at her short-haired sister who was also smiling, Liu Wanqiu glanced at her brother beside her.

"So when are you two getting married?"

"..."

"..."

The previously lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Shen Ruzhi's smiling expression froze at that moment.

Looking at the girl smiling at him, he secretly glanced at Liu Songyan beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Stealing a glance at the other person's face, the upper half of which was covered by hair, Shen Ruzhi's mind was once again filled with the image of Liu Songyan's true appearance that she had witnessed firsthand.

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of embarrassment welled up in my heart.

Gripping her chopsticks tightly, Shen Ruzhi, who had been talking a lot just moments before, suddenly fell silent.

Liu Songyan, who had also been silent, was the first to react, raising his hand to tap his younger sister's head with his chopsticks.

A sharp pain shot through her head, and Liu Wanqiu, who had been laughing just moments before, immediately stopped.

Why did you hit me?!

"Eat your food."

"Well!"

With puffed-out cheeks, Liu Wanqiu was sulking and very unconvinced.

After all, she was also at the dinner table, so of course she heard the entire conversation between her brother and her short-haired sister not long ago.

Unaware of Shen Ruzhi's true intentions, she naturally assumed that the short-haired woman wanted to become her sister-in-law.

Rubbing her head where she had been hit by chopsticks, Liu Wanqiu felt increasingly aggrieved.

She was determined to tell on her brother when her father came home that evening.

must!

--------

20:53 in the evening
The lights inside the car were on.

On the way back, Liu Changcun gripped the steering wheel even tighter.

His gaze, which had been fixed on the front, subtly shifted to An Zhaoran sitting in the passenger seat, and noticed that although she tried to hide it, she was still clearly glancing at the back seat.

Wen Yunwei sat in the back row, and even on the way back, she still held the design drawings in her hands.

I would hold a pen and make revisions from time to time, trying my best to present the work to the audience in the best possible condition.

Wen Yunwei, who was completely absorbed in the design drawings, did not notice the scrutinizing gaze coming from the front.

He just kept drawing, while An Zhaoran, who was secretly watching, felt increasingly uncomfortable.

After getting angry at herself, she simply turned her face away and looked out the car window.

With a furrowed brow, he sulked alone.

It must have been padded with something!
Thinking this to herself, the highly competitive An Zhaoran was unwilling to admit her defeat.

"Send you home first?"

"Not in a hurry."

An Zhaoran's mood was extremely bad after receiving a cold reply.

Hearing the man's question, she paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"I'm going to my parents' house today. You can take my senior home first."

"Okay, then let's go straight to my house."

"..."

An Zhaoran withdrew her gaze from the car window, and her expression turned strange again.

Looking at Liu Changcun, who said those words so casually.

"What do you want to do with your senior when you bring her home?!"

The video footage I saw in the study during the day resurfaced, and my brain's ability to fill in the gaps replaced the faces of the male and female protagonists.

The erotic scene made An Zhaoran's breathing become heavier, as if a giant balloon in the video was swaying in front of her.

The sudden change in tone startled Liu Changcun, and Wen Yunwei, who was making corrections in the back seat, also looked up.

Noticing that the two were looking at her, An Zhaoran, who had regained her composure, realized that she had lost her composure.

Her lips tightened instantly, but her gaze remained fixed on the man driving the car.

His hand, resting on his lap, kept fidgeting with his pants.

He muttered to himself.

"It's so late, let's take the senior home first..."

"Her daughter is still at my house."

Liu Changcun glanced at her and then continued.

"That's why I need to go back to my home first, otherwise I'll have to make another trip, understand? Don't be so dramatic."

"So this is ah……"

An Zhaoran breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.

He turned his head and looked at Wen Yunwei in the back seat.

The other person didn't speak, but gave her a slight smile, then lowered their head again and continued to carefully revise the drawings by the dim light inside the car.

An Zhaoran was also unsure of what was wrong with her.

She would never normally lose her composure like this.

The car was unusually quiet.

The vehicle arrived at Liu Changcun's residential compound and found a temporary parking spot at the entrance.

Liu Changcun unbuckled his seatbelt and spoke to the two people inside the car.

"I'll go pick her up. You guys wait in the car for a bit."

After receiving a response from the two, Liu Changcun did not turn off the car. Instead, he turned on the air conditioning, closed the car door, and strode into the residential area.

Through the car window, I watched Liu Changcun's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

At this moment, only An Zhaoran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and Wen Yunwei, who was in the back seat, remained in the car.

My gaze kept drifting to the rearview mirror in the car, and through the reflection, I saw my senior classmate scribbling away with her head down.

An Zhaoran opened her mouth several times, but hesitated and couldn't say anything.

After repeating this several times, he finally took the initiative to greet her.

"Senior...how did you and Liu Changcun meet?"

An Zhaoran, who was once in the same class as Liu Changcun, had no memories of her student days with the senior in front of her.

In her view, the other party seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appearing beside Liu Changcun.

I felt inexplicably nervous.

But where this sense of tension comes from, An Zhaoran doesn't understand for the time being.

Hearing the question from the front row, Wen Yunwei slowly raised her head, which had been moving forward.

Looking at An Zhaoran, who turned around to talk to him.

He replied with a smile.

“When he applied for poverty assistance in his first year of high school, I took him to fill out the forms.”

Looking at the woman in the passenger seat, Wen Yunwei still had some impression of this junior classmate after so many years.

In my memory, every time the list of exam results for each grade was published, I could always see Liu Changcun's name listed below hers.

Over time, it naturally stuck in my mind.

I never expected that after all these years, An Zhaoran would still have connections with Liu Changcun.

Realizing this, Wen Yunwei suddenly tightened her grip on the sketchbook.

But she still maintained a faint smile on her face.

Looking at An Zhaoran, who had turned to look at him, he spoke softly.

"And what about you? What's your relationship with him now?"
