Chapter 51

"Not even married yet, and you already want to move in with him?"

"Hurry up and come home with me."

Bai Lu's face flushed red: "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just worried about Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye."

Mother Bai added, "This Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye is indeed quite good."

"It's just that he's divorced."

Her own youngest daughter was a junior high school graduate, after all.

She really couldn't bear the thought of her marrying a divorced man.

But Bai Lu suddenly got angry: "Mom, think back—Dad was divorced too, yet you insisted on marrying him, didn't you?"

"In my opinion, my Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye is far better than my dad."

Hearing this, Mother Bai was displeased: "You child, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Your father was a beast; don't even mention him!"

Realizing she had misspoken, Bai Lu turned and went inside.

Meanwhile.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye returned to the Sihe Academy.

He hummed a little tune all the way.

"Tian Mi Mi~ Your smile is so sweet~"

"Like a fire that burned up the entire desert!"

Nothing could be done about it.

When good things happen, the spirit soars.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was happy.

Sha Zhu, returning from the latrine, heard Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye humming his tune, and a fire of resentment stirred in his heart.

Recalling what he had seen earlier that day, Sha Zhu followed him.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had just parked his bicycle and hadn't yet opened his door.

Sha Zhu asked, "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, where did you go today?"

Earlier that day, Sha Zhu had seen Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye fishing at Houhai with a young girl, and he had also seen them eating ice cream.

Sha Zhu suspected Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had gone out to court someone.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye glanced at Sha Zhu.

Earlier that day, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had also seen Sha Zhu.

Acting so foolishly; was he getting jealous?

"The Rolling Steel Factory is on holiday; of course I went out to have fun."

"With so many people in this city of Four-Nine, there are surely young girls who like me and want to court me."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye didn't hide it; he admitted it right then and there.

It wasn't anything shameful or embarrassing.

In his good mood, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye felt like teasing Sha Zhu a bit.

Sure enough.

Sha Zhu was immediately shocked and blurted out, "Impossible!"

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you little rascal, you're just lying to me!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was a divorced man; how could any young girl be willing to court him?

Sha Zhu, a man who had never married, was even a cook in the Rolling Steel Factory's canteen!

Yet after all these years, he still didn't have a partner.

So for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, it was even more impossible.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye sat on the steps by the door, letting the cold wind blow on him; it felt quite nice.

"Why is it impossible?"

"I'm younger than you, better-looking than you, and I have money."

"You're over thirty, you have no money, no bicycle, and you can't find a partner; isn't that perfectly normal?"

Hearing Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's words, Sha Zhu immediately retorted, "But you're an infertile man!"

"What young girl would be willing to marry an infertile man?"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye swept a glance over Sha Zhu: "I call you foolish, and you actually believe it."

"Infertile man?"

"That was just something Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai fabricated to smear me."

"Besides, no one has called you an infertile man, so why don't you have a partner either?"

Sha Zhu wanted to argue back, but he found he simply couldn't.

Because he didn't know the reason himself.

Before Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye became a squad leader, Sha Zhu had been the undisputed boss of the Rolling Steel Factory's canteen.

He had money, had a meal box, was ready to help others, and respected the old while caring for the young.

So why did he still not have a partner?

"What are you laughing at, kid? Do you know why?" Sha Zhu asked, seeing Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye laughing.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye laughed even louder: "Hahahaha..."

"Sha Zhu, oh Sha Zhu, no wonder you have that nickname; you truly are a big fool."

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Ever since you were in your twenties, the matchmakers introducing partners to you have never brought young girls!"

"They either introduced widows to you, or rural women."

"I'm not saying rural women are bad; didn't you quite fancy Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu yourself?"

"I'm just saying those matchmakers never thought highly of you."

"Now that you're over thirty, the matchmakers don't even come looking for you anymore."

"Your own grandmother and your own uncle introduced widows to you, some even bringing children along."

"They even wanted to meddle until we divorced just so they could introduce someone like Wang Wang Wang Dahua to you."

After saying all this, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye let out a loud belch.

In an instant.

A strong smell of alcohol dispersed into the air.

Sha Zhu stepped back several paces.

He had been listening with great interest, but upon smelling the alcohol, he felt Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was just ranting drunken nonsense.

"You kid, you've had too much to drink."

"No one has ever introduced a widow to me!"

"The Deaf Old Lady and the First Uncle were just showing concern for me, eager to find me a partner."

Sha Zhu was still speaking well of the Deaf Old Lady and the First Uncle.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye rolled his eyes at him: "Believe it or not, suit yourself."

"Anyway, I'll be getting married soon."

"Even someone like Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao managed to take a wife, and she was a young lady from a capitalist family."

"You think so highly of yourself, but in the end, you're just a leftover fool!"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu froze on the spot.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was getting married soon?

That was impossible!

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you kid have had too much to drink; go back to dreaming."

Unconvinced, Sha Zhu stormed off in a huff.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye laughed: "Sha Zhu, don't be too anxious; someone will introduce a widow to you in the coming days."

"You might even get the joy of becoming a father overnight."

Sha Zhu heard this and grew even angrier.

Impossible.
