Chapter 272: 241 Accompanying You to Meet the Parents (1 update)_1

After Shen Yi angrily left, Tang Su suddenly felt somewhat listless.

Sitting down with her phone in hand, she scrolled to Lu Han’s number, wanting to call him to verify the thing Shen Yi had just told her, but she hesitated, feeling that asking so directly wasn’t appropriate.

Some things, she believed, were better said face-to-face.

Tomorrow she could go to Sun Qing’s home. Today, Lu Han might have asked Sun Qing to provide cover for him, but who could guarantee the latter wouldn’t invite Lu Han to the Sun family home for a visit tomorrow for her sake?

By then, she would be able to meet Lu Han.

Once they met, she would ask him then.

Having made up her mind, Tang Su felt energized again and started to organize the clothes and shoes she had bought that day.

Then she picked out a few photos and posted them on her social circle.

Soon, a college dormmate sent a greeting, "Tang Su, are you visiting Beijing for a trip?"

Tang Su clicked on the other person’s profile. It was Liu Ting, who, like her, had chosen to return to her hometown to take civil service exams after graduation.

"Yeah, visiting relatives, my grandma and uncle’s family are here," Tang Su replied in her social circle.

"Private chat."

Shortly after, a new WeChat account sent a friend request with a note saying ’I am Liu Ting.’

Tang Su accepted.

Liu Ting then sent a message, "I’ll be in Beijing for a business trip tomorrow too, shall we find a time to meet up? Are you available?"

"I’m not free the day after tomorrow. How long will you be in Beijing for your trip?" Tang Su replied honestly.

She already had plans for tomorrow, and the day after, her entire family was going to accompany her grandmother to take a family portrait; indeed, she had no free time.

"About a week. You’re not going to tell me you can’t find even a moment to have a meal with us in seven days, right? Other dorms reunite once every year. When I’m free, I do visit Beijing to take in the sights, maybe see the snow in winter. You never come around when I do."

Towards the end, Liu Ting started to complain about Tang Su.

Tang Su knew all too well that some dorms did indeed get together like that, meeting up at a set time every year if the relationships were good.

There were four girls in their dorm, and she had a somewhat better relationship with Liu Ting. Back then, they would go to the library to study together. The other two girls preferred socializing.

There were no conflicts, but feelings were rather indifferent; after graduation, they had basically gone their separate ways.

Tang Su hadn’t expected that after graduation, Liu Ting would frequently visit Beijing, while the other two girls were locals, whose families surely arranged their jobs for them after they finished school.

"Do the three of you meet up often?" Tang Su inquired.

"Not often. I come at most twice a year, either for business or to learn. The two of them are in Beijing, so they do meet up often. Every time I come, we talk about you. It would have been perfect if you could come too. There would be no regrets for our dorm then."

"How about it? Since you’re here this year, why not squeeze in some time? I’ll contact those two, and I’ll add you to our dorm group later, okay?"

Liu Ting was quite considerate. After they became friends, she didn’t impulsively add Tang Su to the dorm group without asking for her consent.

Being in the civil service, y, one needs to learn how to get along with others to thrive and prosper in the workplace.

"Okay, just not these two days," Tang Su agreed.

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t put you in a difficult position. We’ll let you decide the date," Liu Ting replied.

"Okay."

After Tang Su typed that last response, Tang Feng returned.

As soon as Tang Feng arrived, he rushed upstairs to find his little sister.

When he knocked on the door, his urgency was such that he seemed almost ready to break it down.

Tang Su put her phone down and hurried over to open the door for him.

Tang Feng was panting, not from exhaustion, but from excitement.

"What’s gotten into you? Big brother, didn’t you just meet Lu Han? Why do you look like you’ve been running with weights?" Tang Su, puzzled, quickly fetched him a cup of warm water.

Tang Feng entered the room, closed the door, and sat down on a chair. He drank the warm water Tang Su handed him in one gulp.

Once his emotions settled, Tang Feng’s mouth stretched into a wide grin. Anyone with eyes could see how happy he was at that moment, and Tang Su was certainly not blind.

"Big brother, what’s wrong with you?" Tang Su was also anxious. Why was her big brother grinning like a silly oaf?

He hadn’t been this happy even when he got accepted to university.

The only thing that had made him this happy was when he enlisted in the army and was accepted. That’s when he laughed like this.

Even when he was appointed as a squad leader in the army, he would share the good news over the phone.

"Today, big brother got himself a treasure." Tang Feng took out the steel pen that Lu Han had given him from his chest, treasuring it as if it were a prized possession. It was none other than the War God’s pen.

Others might not understand its significance, but anyone who’s been a soldier would.

He believed Tang Su would understand, too. They had talked about a soldier’s dreams, the sacrifice, the shedding of blood, and the spirit of the military when they were children.

Tang Su had even said if they had been born in times of chaos, her big brother would surely be a formidable warlord.

Although that was quite an exaggeration, Tang Feng’s physical condition was indeed a tad better than the average person’s. However, in the army, everyone was strong and robust, so his slight edge was nothing remarkable.

Otherwise, after so many years in the service, he would only be a squad leader.

Many who joined the army with him had already advanced to much higher positions.

He had no envy or jealousy. Not being outstanding himself, he found fun in training the recruits and the new soldiers year after year.

"Just a pen? The design looks so old-fashioned, where did you dig this up?"

"You have no clue. This is a gift from Lu Han when we first met." Tang Feng said with self-satisfaction.

Tang Su: "..."

A gift for the first meeting?

From Lu Han?

It must be very valuable. Is it an old collectible?

If it’s really that precious, how could her big brother have the nerve to accept it?

"No, big brother, is that pen really that collectible? If it’s valuable, you really shouldn’t have accepted it." Tang Su thought about her equal relationship with Lu Han, and she would feel embarrassed if her big brother accepted such gifts so casually.

"Whether it’s valuable or not depends on the person. To me, it is certainly valuable. To you and Lu Han, it might just be a pen—something you’d toss away when it can no longer write."

"???"

She didn’t understand. Was it valuable or not?

"Oh, right, after the family portrait is taken, you and Lu Han should go meet his family at the Lu’s. If..." It would be even better if he could tag along.

Lu Maoyan might have left the system many years ago, but that didn’t bother him at all. The fact that he was a hero wouldn’t fade just because he left.

His admiration wouldn’t cease just because Lu wasn’t in the system anymore.

"Meeting the parents? Did Lu Han tell you that?" Tang Su blushed.

"Yeah, go meet them. If you’re scared, just tell Lu Han and ask your big brother to come with you." Tang Feng chuckled.

He just wanted to have a close look at Lu Maoyan himself.

Tang Su: "..."
