Chapter 1477

~8 min read 1,451 words

"Hey Zirui, don't walk away! Look at you? At such a young age, you act like an old monk who has reached enlightenment. If you don't want to, you don't want to, but don't ignore me!" Sheng Zihan chased after him.

Bai Manman is a classmate of the two.

The young girl gets good grades, looks good, and has a good family background; she is a typical "white, rich, and beautiful" girl.

Bai Manman likes Sheng Zirui; everyone can see it, only Zirui cannot.

Or perhaps he sees it, but does not respond.

He is indifferent to everyone, and he is the same toward Bai Manman!

Sheng Zihan is very popular with the female students in class, so Bai Manman found Sheng Zihan and asked him hesitantly if he knew what kind of girls Zirui likes.

This question put Sheng Zihan in a difficult spot; from childhood to now, Zirui has never said which girl he likes!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Sheng Zihan's mind—could it be that Zirui doesn't like girls, but likes boys?

But he wouldn't tell Bai Manman what he was thinking, so Sheng Zihan told her: "Zirui likes someone like you, but his personality is introverted, unlike me. Even if he likes you, he won't show it directly."

"Really?"

Bai Manman believed it.

"Of course it's true, I never lie to anyone!"

Sheng Zihan calmed Bai Manman down, and when he turned back, he told Zirui: "Bai Manman likes you..."

Zirui said: "Sheng Zihan, can you have anything else in your head? We are in the third year of middle school now, and the high school entrance exam is coming soon. Why don't you think about studying, and instead have your head full of messy things?"

"How am I messy? I'm in puberty now. Teachers all say it's normal for boys and girls to like each other during puberty. It's only abnormal if you don't like girls and like boys instead..."

Then Sheng Zihan was beaten up by Zirui.

From that day on, he seemed possessed, seizing every opportunity to speak well of Bai Manman in front of Zirui, including today.

Zirui couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and went to the Study alone. Sheng Zihan followed, but was stopped by his mother: "Go call your big brother and Yuxin for dinner, dinner is already ready."

"Okay, Mom, I have something very important to tell you after dinner." Sheng Zihan's face was rarely serious.

"Oh! What important thing could you have? Tell me."

"No, this can't be explained in a sentence or two. I'll tell you alone after dinner."

Sheng Zihan walked out two steps, then stepped back, emphasizing: "It's especially important." After saying that, he went to Sheng Zichen's room to find his big brother.

"This child is being mysterious, what kind of mischief is he up to again?" Shi Youxuan muttered at her youngest son's back, then went to the Study herself to drag Zirui out.

Today is the first day the big brother's girlfriend is visiting, and it's the first formal dinner; it wouldn't be right for family members to be late.

Shi Ran and her husband also returned, entering the house at almost the same time as Sheng Hanyu.

Shi Ran is six and a half months pregnant and has finally controlled her weight to a healthy standard, but her face is still quite round.

When she was in college, Gu Yuxin had met Shi Ran and spoken to her, so the two were considered acquaintances. At the time, Shi Ran never thought that one day she would become her younger brother's girlfriend.

"Sister Shi Ran, this is a gift for you." Gu Yuxin handed over a jewelry box containing a crystal bracelet.

The gift for Shi Ran was the most thoughtful and also the most expensive.

Since she was little, she had regarded Shi Ran as an idol, but she never thought that one day she would become her idol's younger brother's girlfriend.

Shi Ran took the gift, feeling a bit awkward: "Thank you, I like it very much."

What she didn't say was that there was an identical bracelet in her bag, which was a gift she had prepared for Gu Yuxin.

"Pfft!"

Yun Qitian couldn't hold it in and kept laughing at the bracelet.

"Don't laugh." Shi Ran poked him.

"Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at? Don't laugh secretly by yourself, say it so everyone can laugh with you." Sheng Zichen said.

So he said: "Your sister bought an identical bracelet to give to Yuxin... Ouch! It hurts!" He was stepped on; although his wife was wearing flat Spring Shoes, it still hurt quite a bit when she stepped hard.

"Hahahaha..."

So everyone laughed, including Gu Yuxin.

She and Shi Ran had different thoughts; their gifts clashed, but Yuxin didn't feel awkward. She was quite happy, as it showed that her taste was similar to her idol's.

The meal was eaten in a harmonious and happy atmosphere, and the mood was excellent.

After the meal, Shi Ran and Yuxin chatted. Both wanted to get along well, but when they actually interacted, they found they really couldn't find common ground!

Shi Ran is a computer genius, while Gu Yuxin has a wide range of hobbies, but they do not include anything related to mathematics, including computers.

Gu Yuxin's favorite thing now is cooking, but Shi Ran's culinary skills are limited to being able to boil simple raw food until it is cooked.

Half a sentence is too much when there is no common ground.

Since they couldn't talk about anything, sitting together was awkward. Shi Ran sat for a while, then used the excuse that she was far along in her pregnancy and needed to go back early to rest, so she said a few more words and left.

On the way, Yun Qitian asked: "Your tastes in jewelry are quite consistent, why was the conversation so awkward?"

Shi Ran asked her husband: "You could tell we were having an awkward conversation? The jewelry wasn't really chosen; after I entered the mall, the sales clerk recommended it, saying how good it was, so I bought it." She guessed that Gu Yuxin had chosen her gift the same way.

Yun Qitian: "The whole family could see it, only you two couldn't. One was desperately trying to find common topics, and the other was desperately trying to cooperate, but it just wouldn't click. I was anxious just watching."

The couple finally agreed that it didn't matter if the older sister and the future sister-in-law had common topics; what mattered was that Sheng Zichen and Yuxin were like-minded, which was the most important thing.

Sheng Zichen is the eldest son of the Sheng Family, so even if he doesn't inherit the family business in the future, his future wife is still very important.

First of all, the family background must be comparable, but most young ladies from wealthy families are delicate and have high expectations. It is very difficult for them to accept that their future husband loves cooking, but Sheng Zichen's favorite thing happens to be cooking.

If one only looks at family background and not character, forcing them together won't lead to happiness!

But if one finds someone with compatible temperaments and hobbies, even if the family backgrounds are vastly different, it is inevitable that there will be other problems. The current situation is quite good.

Gu Yuxin and Sheng Zichen are a match made in heaven, it couldn't be more suitable.

Sheng Family.

Shi Ran went home, and Gu Yuxin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people are just meant to be looked up to!

It can only be viewed from afar, not observed up close.

The perfect image of Shi Ran in her mind had not been shattered, but interacting with her was too exhausting; it was not nearly as relaxed as interacting with Zichen.

As for Zichen's sister, Gu Yuxin still preferred playing with Yueyue; that soft and cute little sister Nuonuo was as adorable as could be!

On the other side.

Zihan finally had the opportunity to speak with his mother alone; when there was no time, he had been incredibly anxious.

Once the mother and son met in private and his mother told him to speak, he hesitated.

"Are you going to say it or not? If you aren't, I'm leaving; I still have a pile of things to get busy with."

"I'll say it, I'll say it."

Zihan stammered, thinking about how to phrase it so the impact on his mother would be smaller.

"Mom, if, and I mean if, one of us brothers turned out to be gay, what would you do?"
