Chapter 244: Gained Two More Sons
For Chen Fan, this meal was not easy to get through.
Of course, as an adult, he understood the attitude of Su Ruochu's parents towards him.
It's just that he felt sorry for Su Ruochu, who was caught in the middle and feeling quite distressed.
After the meal, perhaps still upset by her mother's words, Su Ruochu pulled Chen Fan along in a sullen mood.
Lin Wanxiu wanted to stop her daughter, but her husband called out to her.
"Forget it. Let her go."
"Forget it?" Lin Wanxiu glared at him. "Can't you see what our daughter has become?"
Su Xuecheng smiled bitterly, "At this age, she's at a time when she yearns for love. No matter what you say, it won't work and may even cause her to become more rebellious."
"If you ask me, we should give her some time."
"Young people fall in love quickly and break up quickly too. Who knows, maybe one day our daughter will come to her senses, or they'll break up."
Lin Wanxiu glared at her husband.
"You're good at playing the nice guy."
Su Xuecheng smiled reassuringly, "There's no need to be so harsh on the kid. What you said just now was a bit too much."
"Too much?" Lin Wanxiu said coldly, "Look at this kid, how does he match our daughter at all?"
Su Xuecheng smiled helplessly.
"You're a modern woman yourself, yet you still believe in that old-fashioned 'matching doors and households' nonsense?"
"Stop acting like a nice guy here. Let me ask you, would you be willing for our daughter to marry a country bumpkin? For her future to be in the countryside farming?"
Lin Wanxiu walked towards the car with a dark expression.
"Don't blame me for being cold-hearted. Sometimes there's a reason behind this 'matching' tradition."
"Okay, okay, you win. Let's just calm down first and give the kids some time, alright?"
But Lin Wanxiu couldn't swallow her anger.
"Call our daughter and tell her to come back immediately. I must have a good talk with her."
Su Xuecheng had no choice but to take out his phone and make the call.
On the other side, Su Ruochu walked arm-in-arm with Chen Fan on the street.
"Hey, you're not angry, are you?"
Chen Fan smiled and pinched Su Ruochu's nose.
"I'm not that petty. Besides, your parents mean well for you."
But Su Ruochu pouted, "My mom went too far."
"She's just concerned about you..."
Su Ruochu tightened her arm around Chen Fan's.
"Chen Fan, will we be together forever?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Of course."
"Then let's never be apart. No one can separate us."
"Mmm."
At that moment, his phone rang in his pocket.
Su Ruochu took it out, saw who it was, and hung up.
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Who was it?"
"My dad."
Chen Fan: "Answer it."
Su Ruochu: "No way. He's definitely calling me to come home."
Chen Fan stopped walking, "It's getting late. Let me walk you to catch a ride home."
Su Ruochu opened her mouth, but Chen Fan spoke first, interrupting what she was about to say.
"Wife, I love you, but I also don't want you to have conflicts with your family because of me."
"Go home and talk to them properly. Even if they don't agree with us being together, don't argue or make a fuss."
"As long as our hearts are together, no one can separate us."
"I'll work hard to prove to your parents that I'm worthy of marrying their daughter."
Hearing this, Su Ruochu was touched.
"Chen Fan, thank you."
Chen Fan smiled, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for being so understanding."
"Then how will you repay me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't...after the new semester starts, we take a couple more classes together?"
Su Ruochu immediately blushed, raising her hand to pinch Chen Fan, but this time she didn't have the heart to do it hard.
Chen Fan smiled and held her little hand.
"Alright, don't be gloomy. Let me walk you to catch your ride."
"Okay."
After seeing Su Ruochu get on the bus, Chen Fan turned to catch a ride home alone.
Thursday.
Getting ready to go to school.
Because Su Ruochu's parents had caught the two of them together.
Chen Fan's idea of going to school together with Su Ruochu basically became impossible to realize.
He sent Su Ruochu a text message, bid farewell to his parents alone, and dragged a suitcase onto the long-distance bus back to Yunhai.
Instead of going directly to the dorm upon returning to school, he went to the apartment.
He wanted to put some of the food his mother had packed for him in the apartment's refrigerator first.
But as soon as he opened the door, the noisy sounds from inside almost made Chen Fan think there were burglars in the apartment.
In the living room, Ma Xiaoshuai and Luo Wenjie each had a laptop and were furiously shouting as they played games.
The coffee table was piled with instant noodle cups.
It seemed like these two grown men had been surviving on instant noodles for the past few days.
The two of them caught sight of Chen Fan at the door.
"You're back."
"Old Chen, hurry up and cook. Dad's about to starve to death."
Chen Fan was dumbfounded.
"You haven't been home this whole time?"
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't even look up.
"Nope."
Chen Fan: "Brother, school starts tomorrow."
Ma Xiaoshuai: "So what, it's not like I need to bring any clothes anyway."
Chen Fan turned to look at Luo Wenjie beside him.
"By the way, when did you get here?"
Luo Wenjie looked up and grinned.
"The day before yesterday. Brother Chen, you're not hospitable at all, having such a nice place but not telling your brothers early on."
Chen Fan was speechless.
"This is my home, couldn't you two just go play in the dorm?"
"Is the dorm as comfortable as here?"
I...you make a fair point, I can't argue with that.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and cook. Dad's been about to starve these past few days without you around."
Ma Xiaoshuai complained, "Eating instant noodles every day, I feel like puking just smelling the noodles now."
Okay then.
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
What could he do, these were his sons after all.
He set down his suitcase first, then went to open the fridge and take a look.
"Damn. Ma Xiaoshuai you really cleaned it out, even drank all the water."
Chen Fan was speechless, "There's nothing left, what do you want me to cook for you?"
"Damn it, attack, attack Brother Jie, don't you have any sense of micro..." After cursing at Brother Jie, Ma Xiaoshuai looked over.
"Anything is fine, as long as you cook it, I'll eat it."
"What if I serve you my own shit to eat, would you eat that?"
Seeing these two had immersed themselves in the game again, Chen Fan shook his head and opened his suitcase, taking out a bag of dumplings.
These were dumplings his mother had gotten up early to make for him this morning.
Soon, the aroma of dumplings wafted from the kitchen, and the two gamers immediately perked up their heads in alert.
The next second, they both rushed into the kitchen.
"Damn, dumplings."
"Brother Chen, you really live up to being my good brother Chen."
Luo Wenjie had already opened the cupboard to find bowls and chopsticks.
Not to be outdone, Ma Xiaoshuai also grabbed bowls and chopsticks and stood by, grinning at Chen Fan.
"Mom's dumplings are really good, they even smell delicious."
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered to waste words on these two shameless guys anymore.
In the living room, the three sat in a row, each cradling a plate of dumplings that they ate with relish.
Chen Fan had just eaten before coming, so he wasn't very hungry. That whole bag of dumplings ended up being a treat for these two sons of his.
After eating and drinking their fill, Ma Xiaoshuai and Luo Wenjie immediately lounged on the sofa like lords, rubbing their bellies.
"Go wash the dishes."
Chen Fan kicked the two of them.
Only then did Ma Xiaoshuai and Luo Wenjie struggle to get up, taking the plates to the kitchen.
The two were still discussing the game in the kitchen.
Chen Fan shook his head, feeling these two guys were obsessed.
"This game is fun, but it's just too tiring. You have to stare at it every day. If only the computer could play and fight the monsters itself while we just watch."
Luo Wenjie's complaint drifted out from the kitchen.
Hearing this, a flash of lightning went through Chen Fan's mind as he was cleaning up the dining table.
What Luo Wenjie described, wasn't that just a cheat program?
