Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Is This Even Human Language You’re Speaking?

"Fair enough," Liu Yushu chuckled.

Lu Youxue poked his head out of the kitchen door and declared crisply, "I’ll definitely study hard to be a support for my sister in the future."

Liu Yushu had not intended for Lu Youxue to hear her words, but hearing his promise, she responded, "Okay, you said it yourself."

Feeling the pressure, Lu Youxue knew he needed to buckle down and study, so he hurried back to his room, took out his textbooks that he brought from home, and started reading.

After Lu Youxue was gone, Liu Yushu whispered to Lu Zhenguo, "But you were originally against Xiao Zhou being with Youxi, weren’t you? You were always looking forward to them getting divorced."

"You’re to blame too, aren’t you?" Lu Zhenguo retorted quietly, "Didn’t you tell Youxi to not share a room with Xiao Zhou? How come you don’t care now? Instead, you seem quite happy that Xiao Zhou has moved in."

The house was only so big, and with Zhou Shuyan married to Lu Youxi, he certainly couldn’t sleep in the same room as Lu Youxue tonight.

That meant he had to share a room with Lu Youxi.

It’s normal for a married couple to share a room and for anything to happen.

"They’ve already lived together in Hexing Village," Liu Yushu pointed out.

Although Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi had promised nothing would happen, Liu Yushu did not believe them.

How could two young people, fond of each other and legitimately married, restrain themselves?

"Originally, I thought Xiao Zhou came from an unclear background. We didn’t know anything about him, what kind of people his family were, whether they were good or bad, or if they had any criminal history," Lu Zhenguo explained, "Our family may be a bit chaotic, but Youxi is spirited and a top student from Jing University. It seemed a bit unfair for her to end up with Xiao Zhou. But now things have changed, haven’t they? Xiao Zhou’s family is all decent people, and he has a respectable job himself. Judging by what Xiao Zhou told me, his family seems to be much more peaceful than ours."

Lu Zhenguo glanced toward the kitchen doorway where Zhou Shuyan had yet to emerge, then continued in a hushed tone, "And yesterday at the small eatery, when Xiao Zhou came over, he looked so sharp in his suit, clearly a member of the social elite. I don’t think there can be anything wrong. When we arrived yesterday, he and Youxi were both busy, so he even went out of his way to ask a friend to pick us up. I feel that Xiao Zhou is dependable, solid. Let’s not talk about divorce anymore. Who would divorce for no reason if their partner is decent? Given that Xiao Zhou is good, I think he and Youxi are well suited. If the two kids like each other, they should just live their lives well."

Since they should go on living well, why would they interfere with the personal matters of the young couple?

"Then why are you asking me?" Liu Yushu said smilingly, "I think the same way. Xiao Zhou is a good person, and his family conditions are much better than ours. I always say, Youxi is excellent, but our family holds her back. As long as the person is good, I don’t have any requirements about the other family’s conditions. Xiao Zhou is already way beyond my expectations, and he doesn’t look down on our situation. If the two children are doing well, what reason do I have to stop them?"

Having shared their thoughts, they found they were on the same page and both smiled.

During the National Day holiday, many students took advantage of the long vacation to go home.

Lu Youxi’s roommates also decided to return home, their hearts longing for home after leaving such a long distance to study for the first time.

Lu Youxi quickly packed a little luggage and shoved it into the backpack Aunt Liu had given her.

Lu Xiaohui looked on with envy, "It’s great to live close to home. You can head back lightly and without the hassle of a long journey."

"When I first came here, it was far," Lu Youxi said with a laugh, "But I still need to return to Hexing Village on the 5th to move the rest of my things over here."

The four set out together and said their goodbyes.

Lu Youxi, carrying her backpack, returned to the residential complex.

As soon as she entered, she heard the voices of Zhou Shuyan and Lu Zhenguo chatting.

Lu Youxi dug at her ear, thinking she must have misheard.

Could it be she missed Zhou Shuyan so much that she was starting to have auditory hallucinations?

"Dad, Mom, Youxue," Lu Youxi brushed aside these noises and called out as she entered.

"Back already!" Liu Yushu said joyfully, "I’ll start cooking right away."

Both Zhou Shuyan and Lu Zhenguo came out together. Lu Youxi, seeing Zhou Shuyan, stared wide-eyed.

What was he actually doing here?

No, why did he come?

Zhou Shuyan naturally took Lu Youxi’s backpack and pulled her back into the bedroom, closed the door, and said with an innocent face, "Are you going to stay here tonight?"

"..." Lu Youxi was speechless for a long while before she responded, "What kind of question is that? This is my home; of course, I would stay here during the holidays."

Zhou Shuyan looked troubled, "I thought you were going to stay at the school, so I brought my luggage over to stay here."

Only then did Lu Youxi notice a black suitcase standing in her room.

"I saw the wardrobe was empty, didn’t have any of your things, so I thought you weren’t planning to come back to stay," Zhou Shuyan innocently explained.

"There’s nothing because my parents haven’t come over yet, and I was staying at the school, I just haven’t had the chance to move my luggage over," Lu Youxi explained in exasperation, "And even if I wasn’t coming back, why would you come to stay?"

Zhou Shuyan said softly, "I was thinking, Aunt kept asking when she would meet my mom, right? I was afraid she’d suspect there was a problem with our marriage, so I brought my luggage to stay here for a few days over the holiday to dispel their doubts."

Lu Youxi: "..."

You’ve thought it through, even implementation after a sham marriage.

Zhou Shuyan said helplessly, "Now that you’re back, it’s not appropriate for me to stay here. Should I leave with my luggage tonight?"

Lu Youxi looked at Zhou Shuyan with an indefinable expression, unable to tell if he was sincere or faking it.

"Not leaving tonight would only make my parents more suspicious, wouldn’t it?" Lu Youxi raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Shuyan, looking distressed, rubbed his forehead and thought a moment before saying, "How about you go back to school?"

Lu Youxi: "... Is that even something you should say?"

Preventing her from coming home when she has one?

After a while, Zhou Shuyan suggested, "Or maybe I can sleep on the floor tonight? We might share a bedroom, but you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the floor. Your parents won’t know."

Lu Youxi exhaled, "I suppose that’s the only option."

Zhou Shuyan couldn’t possibly have come over specifically to sleep on the floor, could he?

He couldn’t be doing this on purpose, could he?

He really must not have known she was coming back tonight, right?

As Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan were whispering secretly, Liu Yushu’s voice came from outside, "Xiao Zhou, Youxi, dinner’s ready."

"Coming!" Lu Youxi quickly responded aloud before whispering to Zhou Shuyan, "Let’s go."

The two left the bedroom and headed to the dining room, where a full table of dishes was laid out.

Having missed Lu Youxi badly over the long separation, Liu Yushu wanted to see her.
