Chapter 478: Chapter 460 Used It

"Okay."

Lu Jinsheng was still in shock, and when Pei Yan shook him, his mind didn’t have time to think much. Instinctively, he agreed without hesitation.

"Yay!" Pei Yan cheered and quickly ran off. He was still busy; he really didn’t have time to dawdle here with Uncle until he finished his homework for the day.

Watching Pei Yan run away, Lu Jinsheng couldn’t help but smile wryly, while simultaneously feeling a twinge of envy. He wasn’t young anymore, and it seemed it was time to get married and have children. Perhaps, having a son as clever and quirky as these nephews would be something to look forward to.

At that moment, Lu Jinsheng suddenly felt that the idea of marriage wasn’t as scary as he had thought.

How could their commotion possibly escape Lu Yun’s notice? As soon as she saw Lu Jinsheng’s face showing a trace of longing, she seized the moment to strike while the iron was hot.

"What are you thinking? You’re not getting any younger; how long do you want to make our parents worry? You rarely use your vacation to meet a girl or date, always running over here instead. Wouldn’t it be more interesting to find someone to have a child with if you like kids so much?"

"Sis--" For once, Lu Jinsheng didn’t respond with impatience or by trying to escape.

This was promising.

Excited, Lu Yun energetically grabbed Lu Jinsheng and immediately pulled out a box filled with a thick stack of photos. "Jinsheng, do you have any girl you like? If not, I have many photos here. Just pick one that you find agreeable. I’m not saying you have to marry her right away."

Lu Jinsheng stared dumbfounded at the box that Lu Yun had conjured up. Judging by the thickness of the stack of photos, there had to be at least a hundred. This was clearly premeditated: "Sis, isn’t this a bit too much?"

"How is it too much? Mom has been collecting these for several years. There were even more, but since you’ve always refused to go on match-making dates, some of the girls, who were quite nice, ended up getting married and having children with someone else."

Lu Yun sighed with a touch of regret and pushed the box into Lu Jinsheng’s arms, "Hurry up and see if there’s anyone you like. By the way, how many days of leave do you have this time?"

"I have to report back by eight o’clock tomorrow night." Lu Jinsheng answered dutifully, almost resigned to his fate. He too had attended military academy and had joined Shitou’s unit on merit. Other than going on missions, he was usually at the base on the island, which was why in recent years, he always came to see the triplets at Lu Yun’s place during his vacations. He even had his own room at her house.

"There’s enough time. Hurry and choose a few. Tell me your decision before lunch, so I can call our parents and have them send someone to pick you up and take you back to Capital City right away."

Lu Yun was thinking—if there wasn’t enough time, she could simply request Shitou to extend Lu Jinsheng’s vacation a bit. It wasn’t easy to get Lu Jinsheng to relent, and she couldn’t miss this opportunity: "You’re quite old already, meet a few girls, find someone compatible, and start getting to know her as soon as possible."

"Uh, decide on a person this time? How many do I need to see? Isn’t that too rushed?" Lu Jinsheng felt like he was unwittingly boarding a bandit ship.

"Not at all. Do you think you are still young and handsome? You’ve long been ’past your prime.’ If you don’t look at several, you might like someone, but those girls may not even like you back." Lu Yun looked at Lu Jinsheng with disdain, sparing no effort in her disparagement.

"..."

Lu Jinsheng was at a loss for words, "Sis, ’fading beauty’ is a term specifically for women, you know?" Like you, for example.

He almost blurted that out without thinking, but, luckily, a shred of reason held him back, knowing that he couldn’t bear the consequences of saying such a thing, so he promptly shut his mouth.

"You take your time looking, I’m going to make a call." Lu Yun didn’t have time to dawdle with him and turned to leave.

Lu Jinsheng silently looked at the box with the photos, smiled wryly, then tucked it into the Space Stone and went back to his room.

Over the years, with the Space Stone as a reference, the Space Storage Device had been developed. However, the space inside the Space Storage Devices was generally not very large, typically only around one to one and a half square meters. It couldn’t compare to Lu Yun’s Space Stone at all.

Even so, it had already caused a huge sensation within a very small circle, with everyone vying for it.

Of course, the fact that people had access to the Space Storage Device was also due to the news being intentionally leaked. Nevertheless, those who knew about it and managed to get their hands on a Space Storage Device were all from the most prestigious families, or the most elite soldiers from the military.

Lu Jinsheng’s Space Stone was given to him by Lu Yun. To avoid suspicion, he also carried a Space Storage Device like Shitou and the others, which he used to store things that were not so important.

...

"Xiaoyun, what did you say? Your brother really agreed to a blind date?" Xia Yuan was still a bit incredulous when she received the call, suspecting she misheard and asked again twice.

"It’s true, Mom. You better send someone over quickly to pick him up, or there might not be another chance like this." Lu Yun was all smiles.

"Right, right, I won’t delay any longer. I’ll tell your father right away and have someone fly over to pick him up immediately."

As soon as Xia Yuan hung up the phone, she almost burst into tears. Over the past few years, getting her son to go on blind dates had been an utter ordeal, full of tears. It was almost no different from a battle of wits and courage.

But the kid was just too slippery; pressuring him into blind dates was utterly useless, and he always came up with various tricks. The most outrageous was the time he pretended to have a hot temper in front of a young lady and hired someone to put on an act, intentionally starting a fight with a "stranger" at the next table during the blind date dinner.

Getting into a fight was one thing, but he was also afraid that the young lady would think he looked too "heroic" if he won, so in the end, he pretended to be weak and cried and begged for mercy after just a few punches—

Afterward, Xia Yuan was so angry she could hardly catch her breath, and the girl’s mother even teased her to her face about her son being too cowardly. The story even spread within a small circle. Those in the know laughed at her son’s cunning, while those who didn’t just sneered behind her back for having a cowardly son.

For the first time in her life, Xia Yuan chased after Lu Jinsheng with a bamboo stick, and he ran for his life, holding his head. After beating him up, Xia Yuan finally realized that a coerced match would not be sweet; blind dates had to be something Lu Jinsheng was willing to participate in, otherwise, all her worries would be for naught.

Since then, Xia Yuan stopped forcing Lu Jinsheng, but she still kept an eye out for good girls, collecting photos and other information to leave with Lu Yun, just in case her son suddenly came to his senses one day.

See, didn’t that come in handy now?
