Chapter 496: Chapter 495 Both of You Settle Down!

Lin Xia quickly spotted two figures wearing coats in the crowd from afar!

Upon closer inspection, she recognized the two men, one tall and one short with hats — who else could it be but Lu Zheng and his companion?

Lu Zheng had a carry-on bag in his hand, while Lin Chun had a large backpack on his back. They were following the flow of people, walking out.

She stepped forward excitedly, waving her arms vigorously and shouting, "Big brother! Lu Zheng!" She had finally seen them!

Lin Chun and Lu Zheng also simultaneously saw Lin Xia, who was armored against the cold wind and waving at them!

Especially her woolen red hat that stood out conspicuously against the snowy white backdrop.

Exchanging a look, both Lu Zheng and Lin Chun, filled with emotion, strode quickly towards Lin Xia.

Lin Chun had finally returned to his hometown, to this place of his dreams!

Inhaling the familiar scent in the air, he felt an urge to cry, his nose tingling with emotion.

Seeing his beautiful and elegant younger sister standing there looking at them, he really wanted to give her a warm hug!

But, being naturally reticent and with his brother-in-law nearby, he settled for a concerned inquiry, "Xiaoxia, why are you here? Are you cold?"

Lin Xia shook her head cheerfully, a bright smile on her face, "Not cold! Was your trip smooth?" Her gaze continuously swept over them, her eyes sparkling with excited tears.

She hadn’t seen Lin Chun for almost a year, and she felt his change was quite significant.

His features had become sharper, his gaze firmer and more resolute than before.

And Lu Zheng, whom she had missed so dearly, seemed to have not changed much in the few months they were apart, but his intense and affectionate gaze involuntarily made her palms sweat and her cheeks burn.

Looking at Lin Xia, soon to be part of his family, Lu Zheng tried to conceal his deep affection but couldn’t. Seeing her little nose turned red from the cold, a wave of tenderness surged in his heart, "Xiaoxia, we could have found our way home! You didn’t need to come to the station! It’s so cold!"

"It’s alright! I couldn’t sit still at home, right? I thought it would be better to come and meet you! Let’s head home quickly!" She couldn’t bear to wait at home for them to return.

Lin Chun laughed heartily, "Good! Let’s go home! I’ve missed all of you so much!"

As they walked and talked, Lin Xia informed them that their cousin Song Zhiya was waiting at home.

"Uncle’s daughter is staying at our house! You’ll see her in just a bit!" Lin Xia thought it was better to discuss her uncle and Luo Xinyan’s matter privately with Lu Zheng, so she didn’t bring it up now.

"Ah! Uncle’s daughter..." Having met Qin Zeming, Lin Chun had some understanding of the Qin Family, which now made him think of Lin Qiu, "Is Xiaoqiu back yet?"

Lin Xia hadn’t told Lin Chun about the incident involving their sister yet.

Hearing him ask like this, she knew their grandfather must have spoken to Lin Chun about Xiaoqiu’s situation.

"Not yet! But she’ll be here soon! She called me saying she’s coming over with great aunt in the next few days!"

"Good!" Lin Chun, reminded of his younger sister’s ordeal, felt his initial joy and excitement fade a bit, "That Wu Zhengyang really is no good!"

He was furious when he heard about it. During the New Year, he had met Wu Zhengyang and at the time had thought the young man wasn’t bad, just as his elder sister said, his family was a bit off the mark.

Who would have imagined that, with the wedding already planned, they would end up creating such a scandal, deeply hurting his younger sister!

He knew that his younger brother and sister hadn’t told him about the situation out of kindness, not wanting to worry him.

Now that he was back, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing! He was definitely going to settle accounts with Wu Zhengyang and stand up for his younger sister!

Lu Zheng had also heard about the incident between Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang, and with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, he suggested, "Lin Chun, how about we both go practice on him later?"

Lin Qiu was his sister-in-law; how could he just stand by when she had been treated like that?

Besides, when Lin Xia had continuously rejected him, it was Lin Qiu who had secretly told him about Lin Xia’s true feelings. He would always be grateful for that, no matter what!

Lin Chun was eager, cracking his knuckles in anticipation, "Sure! We can’t let my sister Xiaoqiu suffer for nothing!" After spending three years away, he hadn’t just been idling; at the very least, he no longer backed down from a fight. He had fully unleashed his ferocity and fighting spirit!

Lin Xia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their bantering. She spoke up gently, "Can both of you calm down? What’s this about fighting? The matter is already in the past. From now on, we should just mind our own business and not associate with them!" She and Lu Zheng were about to get married. Why should they stir up trouble at this crucial time? There was no need!

"Besides, Wu Zhengyang has already been beaten up... My second brother had someone beat him up, that was already venting for Xiaoqiu..."

Lu Zheng listened and felt a bit displeased, but remembering that Lin Xia had now recognized Jiang Mingyuan’s mother as her godmother, making Jiang Mingyuan her godbrother, his jealousy subsided somewhat.

Lin Chun sighed, "Jiang Mingyuan is really solid! I need to drink a couple with him to thank him!"

"We’ll do it together!" Lu Zheng wouldn’t lag behind.

Lin Xia, fearing the pair might agree outwardly but still cause trouble secretly, continued, "Actually, even without us settling the score with Wu Zhengyang, he can’t have it easy these days! After Miao Xue had a miscarriage and took leave to rest at home, there’s always noise of arguments coming from next door..."

The expressions on Lin Chun and Lu Zheng’s faces eased somewhat.

The trio then walked briskly, finally returning home against the howling north wind.

Song Zhiya, who had followed Lin Xia into the house, was curiously sizing up the two men.

Lin Xia asked them to put their things down quickly and took the chance to introduce them, "Cousin, this is my brother Lin Chun, and this is my boyfriend Lu Zheng."

Song Zhiya had not expected Lin Xia’s boyfriend to be so handsome and tall, and it surprised her a bit.

Even more surprising to her was how much Lin Chun resembled her own mother, which made her feel even more affectionate towards him.

She greeted them with enthusiasm, "Hello! Hello! It’s especially cold outside, isn’t it?"

Lu Zheng, polite and mild, responded, "It’s all right! Hello, cousin!" He followed Lin Xia’s lead in addressing her.

Lin Chun, looking at the petite and delicate Song Zhiya, instinctively felt he must be older, "We should be older than you, right? I’m twenty-four! And you?"

Song Zhiya pursed her lips slightly, "I’m twenty-three!" She had thought she might be the elder one again.

Lin Chun didn’t stand on ceremony," Then I’ll stop calling you ’cousin’ and call you ’little cousin’ instead!"

Song Zhiya laughed generously, "Sure thing! Then I’ll call you ’big cousin’!" After all, he was older than she was!

Lin Xia encouraged them with a smile, "Alright! Hurry up and wash your hands. Take a break and sit down! I’m going to prepare some food, and then we’ll eat!"

After washing his hands, Lin Chun left the kitchen and went to the living room to sit on the sofa and chat with Song Zhiya.

Lu Zheng, however, did not leave. He watched Lin Xia, who was bending over to scrub the pot, with an intense gaze. Slowly moving closer, he murmured, "Xiaoxia! We can finally get married!"
