Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Must Use Honorifics!

In her last life, without Zhou Shuyan, there was no significant impact on Lu Youxi.

She merely sighed at the untimely loss of a talented individual.

And lamented Chengzhou’s fall.

It wasn’t until she started a relationship with Zhou Shuyan in this life that she could truly experience the deep pain of being without him.

She could no longer fathom a world without Zhou Shuyan.

In this life, she had changed her own fate, as well as Zhou Shuyan’s, and it felt wonderful.

*

Lu Youxi had a class at half-past three.

At ten to three, Lu Youxi had to leave to go back to school.

Zhou Shuyan hesitated, wondering how Lu Youxi could seem so unaffected.

Not the slightest bit tired, no desire to rest?

It made Zhou Shuyan doubt whether his performance had just been mediocre.

But Lu Youxi’s reaction didn’t seem to suggest that either.

Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but ask her again, "Are you sure you don’t need to rest?"

"Sitting through class at school isn’t tiring," Lu Youxi said, although she did indeed feel some soreness in her legs and feet. But that couldn’t prevent her from attending her classes.

Unless absolutely necessary, she would never skip a class.

Reluctantly, Zhou Shuyan drove her to Jing University, stopping outside the school’s west gate.

That night, after getting off work, Zhou Shuyan went to Jing University to pick up Lu Youxi, and they headed to Dongshenglai Hotel to meet Qi Sishenn and the others.

As the pair entered the hotel, Zhou Shuyan received a call from Shen Changze.

"Brother Yan, we’re all here. Where are you guys?" Shen Changze asked.

"We’ve already entered the hotel; we’ll be there shortly," Zhou Shuyan replied.

Immediately after, Zhou Shuyan heard Shen Changze’s voice fade as if he was speaking to someone else, "Brother Yan and Sister-in-law are already in the hotel."

"I’m kind of nervous; what should I do?" Zhong Shoubin’s voice came from the background of the call.

It wasn’t loud, but Zhou Shuyan heard it clearly.

"We didn’t even ask what Sister-in-law specifically looks like," Shi Yusheng chimed in.

"Isn’t it because we were so excited to meet her tonight that we forgot?" Shen Changze regretted. "Brother Shenn, do you know?"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Did Shen Changze forget that he was still on the phone?

Zhou Shuyan didn’t hang up; instead, he simply held up the phone and switched it to speakerphone, so Lu Youxi could listen in on their conversation.

Qi Sishenn shook his head, "I only know that Zhou Shuyan treasures his wife dearly."

"What’s Sister-in-law’s background? What do her parents do? What does she do? Brother Shenn, you really don’t know anything?" Shen Changze continued to inquire.

"She’s going to be here soon, won’t she? You can just ask her then," Qi Sishenn was unwilling to reveal anything.

"There’s a rumor going around that Brother Yan married a country girl, right? I only just realized. When I called Brother Yan today to ask about this, he didn’t give a straight answer," Shen Changze’s voice carried over.

Lu Youxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Shuyan, who covered the mouthpiece and whispered to Lu Youxi, "That’s Shen Changze."

So Lu Youxi could precisely target the person accountable later.

Then, they heard Shi Yusheng say, "Brother Yan didn’t give a straight answer?"

"Yes," Shen Changze expressed regret while slapping his thigh, "At the time, I was just excited to hear Brother Yan wanted to introduce us, I didn’t catch on. Only now did I remember, Brother Yan had said he just wanted to introduce us, he didn’t confirm or deny the rumors."

Rubbing his chin, Zhong Shoubin suggested, "With Brother Yan’s personality, if it wasn’t true, he definitely would have said so."

"But he didn’t say..." Shen Changze said faintly, "Could Brother Yan really have married a country girl?"

"Cough!" Qi Sishenn reminded Shen Changze, "What country girl? That sounds so bad, she’s a farm girl."

Everyone: "..."

"Brother Shenn, is it true?" Shen Changze quickly explained, "I was just saying it off the top of my head, I didn’t mean any disrespect."

"Brother Shenn, from what you said, do you know something?" Zhong Shoubin craned his neck toward Qi Sishenn.

"Brother Shenn, you’re not being fair." Shi Yusheng said, "You know and you’re not telling your brothers?"

By this time, Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi had already arrived at the room’s door.

Zhou Shuyan pushed the door open, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Shen Changze was startled, jumping up as if he were pricked.

Zhong Shoubin and Shi Yusheng also stood up almost simultaneously, only Qi Sishenn was relatively calm, smiling as he rose.

"Let me introduce you, my wife, Lu Youxi," Zhou Shuyan said.

Lu Youxi walked to Zhou Shuyan’s side, smiling and greeting everyone, "Hello."

"Sister-in-law, hello!"

"Sister-in-law, hello, sister-in-law, hello."

Everyone called out in turn.

Even Qi Sishenn was no exception, smiling and calling out warmly, "Sister-in-law, hello."

"Wow, Brother Shenn finally admits today that Brother Yan is indeed his elder brother," Shen Changze said with a laugh.

"He is, after all, two months older than me," Qi Sishenn chuckled, "Besides, in front of his wife, it’s only right to give him some face."

Zhou Shuyan smiled and pulled out a chair for Lu Youxi, "Please sit."

Lu Youxi sat down, and then Zhou Shuyan took his seat beside Lu Youxi.

Zhong Shoubin muttered Lu Youxi’s name, overheard by Shi Yusheng who nudged him, "What are you doing?"

How could you call your sister-in-law by her name like that?

You should use an honorific!

Zhong Shoubin explained, "It’s just that her name sounds familiar."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyan said, "I recall your sister also attends Jing University?"

"Yes," Zhong Shoubin nodded, then suddenly remembered, "Sister-in-law, you’re the Jing University genius, Lu Youxi!"

Lu Youxi blinked, "When did I get that title? Jing University genius, sounds pretty impressive, huh."

Zhong Shoubin took a deep breath, "My sister mentioned to me about a female student who was in the same year but a different major, named Lu Youxi, who was exceptionally outstanding."

"How outstanding?" Shi Yusheng asked curiously.

Zhong Shoubin recalled his sister’s words and could not help but chuckle dryly, "Putting it that way, the rumors going around before were not entirely wrong, which is why Brother Yan didn’t deny it when Shen Changze asked, right?"

Lu Youxi laughed openly, "My home is indeed in the countryside, and our village isn’t prosperous. Coming to the Imperial Capital to study at university was the first time I left our village."

Shen Changze: "..."

"Sister-in-law, you don’t seem like it at all!" Shen Changze had just finished speaking when he heard an echo-like sound coming from Zhou Shuyan’s phone that lay on the table.

"What’s that sound?" Shen Changze asked curiously.

Zhou Shuyan’s phone transmitted Shen Changze’s voice again, "What’s that sound?"

Shen Changze: "!!!"

"Brother Yan, didn’t you hang up the phone?" Shen Changze finally realized.

Zhou Shuyan glanced at his phone and uttered, "Oh," saying, "You didn’t hang up the call and started chatting with them, so I just didn’t hang up either."
