I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

After Su Xing hung up the phone with Su Zekai, Zhou Liyun asked, "Who's here?"

Su Shaohui also looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression.

Su Xing said, "It's my brother, Su Zekai. He said he's arrived in H City and has already gotten off the plane."

The couple were both taken aback when they heard this.

Zhou Liyun said, "Why didn't Xiao Kai tell us he was coming?"

Su Xing: "...Who knows?"

She already had a guess in her mind.

That guy Su Zekai probably didn't come to H City just to see his family of three...

Su Shaohui suddenly asked, "I heard from your grandparents that Xiao Kai has a girlfriend?"

Su Xing: "...Ah!"

Su Shaohui then said, "I heard you're my classmate?"

Su Xing: "...Hmm."

Zhou Liyun then realized what was going on, "From our H city?"

Su Xing exclaimed "Oh dear!" and said, "He'll be here in a bit, you can ask him yourselves."

It seems her parents don't know yet that her cousin's girlfriend is Zhang Xueyan, and her grandparents haven't said much about it either.

Zhou Liyun and Su Shaohui exchanged a glance. Seeing that their daughter was unwilling to say more, they stopped asking.

Zhou Liyun said, "By the time Xiao Kai arrives, it will be time for dinner. Let's book a restaurant and go out to eat tonight."

We treated He Xu to lunch, and the meal was very lavish. We used up a lot of ingredients at home, so we went to the market to buy more, otherwise it would be a bit late to cook.

Besides, she had already been busy for most of the day, and she didn't want to go through the trouble of working on it again tonight.

Su Shaohui nodded and said, "Okay, stop fussing around, it's too tiring. Let's go out to eat!"

Su Xing picked up her phone. "Then I'll search for restaurants."

Don't lose it: "Woof—!"

Su Xing chuckled, "What are you yelling about? As if you know where to find good food."

Don't lose it: "Woof—!"

The family of three researched for a while and then booked a restaurant that served stew in an iron pot.

More than an hour later, Su Zekai arrived at Su Xing's house carrying two large suitcases.

When Su Zekai met Su Shaohui and Zhou Liyun, he first said auspicious words and wished his third uncle and aunt a Happy New Year.

The Su couple also inquired about their family situation from their nephew.

Su Xing, standing to the side, secretly winked at Su Zekai.

After chatting for a while, Su Zekai opened a suitcase and took out some gifts for his third uncle, third aunt, and cousin.

Zhou Liyun said, "You're just a junior who's still in school. You've come all this way, why spend all this money?"

Su Zekai said with a smile, "It's nothing expensive, it didn't cost much, it's just for good luck in the new year."

Su Xing smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "Thank you, brother~"

Su Shaohui didn't stand on ceremony with his nephew. He even eyed some of the things Su Zekai hadn't taken out of his suitcase and asked, "What are those things?"

Su Zekai immediately felt a little awkward. "It's...it's just some personal belongings."

Su Shaohui said "Oh?" and then said, "Your life is quite refined, taking all these things with you when you go out."

"...It's alright, I guess." Su Zekai scratched his head awkwardly.

He glanced at Su Xing, hoping she could help him out of the predicament.

Su Xing pretended not to see.

From the moment Su Zekai entered the room, she hovered around him, as if she knew him very well.

Su Shaohui patted the big dog's head and said, "You're so outgoing."

Su Xing thought to himself: How could we not be familiar? That guy Su Zekai is always running to the capital every few days.

Zhou Liyun checked the time and said, "Let's go out for dinner."

The four of them got up, put on their down jackets, and went out.

The iron pot stew restaurant wasn't far from the Su family's house, only a few hundred meters away; they could walk there.

Su Xing and Su Zekai walked behind the Su family couple.

Su Xing noticed that his cousin would occasionally take out his phone, glance at it, tap a few times, and then quickly and nervously put it back in his pocket.

After a few rounds, his fingers were frozen stiff, like carrots.

Su Xing whispered, "Aren't your hands cold?"

Su Zekai put away his phone and put his hands in his pockets. "It's not that cold."

Su Xing pouted and looked Su Zekai up and down, "All you do is talk the talk."

When we arrived at the restaurant, the chicken and ribs in the big iron pot were already stewed, and the flatbreads were crispy and crumbly.

The four of them ate and chatted.

In the middle of their conversation, Su Shaohui suddenly asked Su Zekai, "What exactly did you come here for?"

Su Zekai said, "I'll just... take a look at Uncle San, Aunt San, and Xiao Xing."

Su Shaohui pushed up his glasses and asked again, "How are things going with your relationship?"

Su Zekai's lips twitched. He believed that his cousin was not a gossipy person, but after his grandparents found out, his relationship was no longer a secret in the family.

"fine……"

Su Zekai met his uncle and aunt's gossipy gazes with a helpless expression and mumbled a few words.

Zhou Liyun and Su Shaohui weren't the type to pry, so they let it go when they realized they couldn't get any answers.

Su Xing kept his head down and ate, trying to keep quiet.

After dinner, the four of them went home.

Su Xing received a message from He Xu, inviting her to watch a movie together.

After having lunch at the Su family's house, He Xu went back to the Tang family's house for dinner with his maternal grandparents. He had just finished dinner and wanted to find a girlfriend to go on a date with.

Su Xing then said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm going out to see a movie."

Zhou Liyun asked, "With Xiao He?"

Su Xing readily admitted, "Yes."

Su Shaohui suddenly said, "Take your cousin with you and let's go out for a walk."

Su Xing looked at Su Zekai, "Are you going?"

Su Zekai immediately stood up. "Okay, I'll go with you."

The two changed their clothes and went out together.

Once downstairs, Su Xing turned to Su Zekai and asked, "Are you really coming with us?"

She didn't want Su Zekai, this big third wheel, with her at all.

Su Zekai stopped in his tracks. "Then...where should I go?"

Su Xing said, "Go wherever you want, go wherever you want."

Su Zekai thought for a moment, then followed his cousin.

Su Xing glared at Su Zekai.

Su Zekai said, "No matter where I go, I have to leave the residential area first."

"Fine……"

The two walked a few more steps forward, and Su Xing suddenly asked, "Did you and Xueyan have a fight?"

Su Zekai asked instinctively, "How did you know? Did she say anything to you?"

Su Xing thought his cousin's stupid behavior was unbearable to look at. "She didn't say anything, I guessed."

Given how clingy Su Zekai and Zhang Xueyan usually are, his behavior today is very unusual.

If the two hadn't had a falling out, Su Zekai probably wouldn't have suddenly come over. And the first person he contacted after getting off the plane was his cousin, not his girlfriend.

Su Zekai sighed, "It wasn't exactly an argument..."

Su Xing interrupted him, "Xueyan is a very rational person. If you two have a conflict, it must be your fault. You two should talk it out. If you can't resolve it, just don't interfere with the relationship between me and Xueyan."

Su Zekai: "...?"

Is this really his cousin?

The two had arrived at the entrance of the residential area. Su Xing saw He Xu's car and quickened her pace.
