Turning off these fools, Meng Yuran laid on top of his bed.
Li Yuebin might be a goofy one, but his words were definitely a wake-up call to Meng Yuran.
His mother was only 33 years old right now…
In the eyes of a young man his age, she was already “ancient”!
He rolled over and thought about it some more.
His grandma married his grandpa when she was in her thirties, so obviously age was not an issue.
People always had the drive to find themselves a partner. Some even get remarried in their fifties or sixties. Not to mention that his mom was only in her thirties. She might even live up to another 50 or 60 years.
Her life was only one-third way over. The future was unpredictable.
Could he really leave it up to his mother to find him a stepdad?
He played through the scenario in his head. If that Lu guy became his stepdad, not only would he be living in their house, he’d also fight them over the dinner table every day…
Most importantly, he’d fight them over their mother!
The next day, Meng Yuran walked downstairs, looking blue. His look made Lin Yiyi’s heart ached.
She gave him some facial masks as she stuffed oranges into his backpack. “You must have been staying up too late studying last night. You still work so hard when you already have such good grades. My son is amazing! Here, you need to have more oranges to take care of those dark circles under your eyes. I put three inside of your backpack.”
In the end, he had none of the three oranges.
As soon as he arrived at school, the three fools took his oranges.
Xie Ning was the only one who had a guilty conscience and gave him two slices…
That day, when Mr. Gu returned from his fishing trip, he brought two tails back with him.
Meeting the cold gaze from the young man, Lu Xun smiled and said, “Hi, Little Yuran, it’s been a while~”
Behind him, there was a young man who was equally expressionless. He had on a clean, white tee, both of his hands were inside his pants pockets, and he did not say a word.
When the two young men met each other, they both paused.
After the pause, one of them turned away and the other one, completely ignoring the first one, turned and walked back into his own room.
Lu Xun looked from Meng Yuran’s back over to his own awkwardly-looking nephew. His brows furrowed deeply.
The two kiddos' first impression of each other didn’t seem to have gone too well…
He stroked his own chin.
Lin Yiyi, on the other hand, seemed quite happy when she saw his nephew. “Zhe came too? This is the first time Zhe came over to my place. Please, just feel at home here. I will make you some pudding in a bit, okay?”
Lu Mingzhe frowned a little and stopped himself from saying that he did not like pudding.
Somehow he felt that he’d regret having said it…
Both this woman’s cooking and desserts were quite good.
Suddenly, he spotted the little girl standing on the stairway.
Meng Shanshan’s curly hair fell down to her side. She had on a white chiffon dress with a pale yellow cardigan on the outside. She looked as delicate as a doll.
She took a look at the little big brother whom she had never seen before and called out to Lu Xun in her sweetest voice, “Uncle Lu.”
Lu Xun liked her a lot too. He acknowledged her and picked her up at the same time. “Come over here, Shanshan. This is Uncle Lu’s nephew. His name is Lu Mingzhe. You can call him Big Brother Zhe.”
Lu Mingzhe?! The male lead in the original novel who brought about all the awful events to Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan?
