Chapter 164 Family Gathering
The sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on every corner of the bustling city. Lin Xiao dressed up carefully. She wore a light blue dress, and the hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, like a blooming orchid. Today was a special day for her, because she was going to take Su Yang home for a family gathering.
Su Yang arrived downstairs of Lin Xiao's house early. He was wearing a well-tailored dark suit, with an upright posture and a handsome face with a little nervousness and expectation. The moment Lin Xiao came downstairs and saw Su Yang, her heart was filled with joy. She walked quickly to Su Yang, gently took his arm, and said with a smile: "Let's go, my family is waiting to see you."
The two walked side by side. Along the way, Lin Xiao kept telling Su Yang about his family's preferences and habits, trying to help him integrate into the family more quickly. Su Yang listened carefully, nodded in response from time to time, and secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
Soon, they arrived at Lin Xiao's door. Lin Xiao gently pressed the doorbell, and the door opened instantly. A burst of laughter came from the house. "Mom and Dad, we are back!" Lin Xiao shouted happily.
Lin Xiao's parents had been waiting in the living room for a long time. When they saw their daughter and Su Yang, they immediately smiled warmly. "Come in, come in!" Lin Xiao's mother greeted them warmly.
Su Yang politely greeted Lin Xiao's parents: "Hello, uncle and aunt, it's our first meeting. I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin Xiao's father laughed heartily: "No trouble, no trouble, you are welcome."
Walking into the living room, Lin Xiao's relatives gathered around and looked at Su Yang curiously. Lin Xiao introduced Su Yang one by one: "This is my aunt, this is my uncle, this is my uncle..." Su Yang smiled and greeted everyone. His humility and courtesy left a good first impression on everyone.
Lin Xiao's mother took Lin Xiao and Su Yang to sit on the sofa and asked about their recent situation with concern. Lin Xiao excitedly recounted every little bit of their time together, with a happy smile on his face. Su Yang listened quietly and occasionally interjected a few words, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After a while, Lin Xiao's father brought out plates of exquisite fruits and snacks from the kitchen and invited everyone to taste them. Su Yang quickly stood up to help, and his attentiveness and diligence made Lin Xiao's father nod secretly.
"Come, Su Yang, try this fruit. We just bought it this morning, so it's very fresh." Lin Xiao's mother said. Su Yang smiled and picked up a piece of fruit, tasted it, and praised it highly: "Auntie, this fruit is really sweet, you really know how to choose." Lin Xiao's mother couldn't stop smiling when she heard it.
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, everyone chatted more and more. Lin Xiao's aunt asked Su Yang curiously: "Su Yang, what do you do?" Su Yang replied calmly: "Aunt, I am an engineer, mainly engaged in architectural design." Lin Xiao's uncle then asked: "That must be very challenging, right?" Su Yang nodded: "Yes, but I like this job very much. Every time I see the building I designed from the blueprint become a reality, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable." Everyone praised Su Yang's work, and Lin Xiao's eyes were full of pride.
At this time, Lin Xiao's younger brother ran out of the room. He stared at Su Yang curiously for a while, then asked mischievously: "Brother-in-law, will you play games with me?" Su Yang smiled and touched his head: "Of course, what game do you want to play?" Lin Xiao's younger brother jumped up happily: "Great, then let's play video games!" Su Yang readily agreed and followed him into the room.
In the room, Su Yang and Lin Xiao's younger brother were having a lot of fun. He patiently instructed his younger brother, and the laughter of the two came from the room from time to time. When the adults in the living room heard the laughter, they all showed gratified smiles on their faces.
Before they knew it, it was lunch time. Lin Xiao's mother and aunt had been busy in the kitchen all morning, serving delicious dishes. The table was filled with rich dishes, including braised spareribs, steamed fish, braised prawns... The aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
"Everyone, please sit down and prepare to eat!" Lin Xiao's mother called. Everyone took their seats. Su Yang sat next to Lin Xiao, looking a little reserved. Lin Xiao's father raised his glass and said, "Today is a happy day. Welcome Su Yang to our home. Let's drink together!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
At the dinner table, everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was lively. Lin Xiao's mother kept picking up food for Su Yang, and said with concern: "Su Yang, eat more, don't be polite." Su Yang said gratefully: "Thank you, Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious." Lin Xiao was filled with happiness when he saw Su Yang getting along so well with his family.
After lunch, everyone sat in the living room to rest. Lin Xiao's uncle suggested taking a family photo together, and everyone responded. So everyone stood in a row, smiling, and the photographer pressed the shutter to record this warm moment.
In the afternoon, the sun shines through the window into the room, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the whole room. Lin Xiao smiled and took Su Yang's hand, leading him to the door of her room. She gently pushed the door open, revealing a warm and tidy space.
As Lin Xiao walked in, she introduced to Su Yang: "This is my room!" Su Yang looked around curiously and felt very novel about this place full of girlish atmosphere.
Lin Xiao pointed at the photos on the wall and said, "These are all photos of me when I was a child." She walked to the bed, picked up an album, flipped through the photos inside, and recalled those good times.
She shared her growth story with Su Yang, from her first performance in kindergarten to her award-winning experience in elementary school, to her friendship and dreams in middle school. Each photo carried a precious memory, allowing her to feel the passage of time and her own changes.
Su Yang sat quietly beside the bed, listening carefully to Lin Xiao's story. He felt her emotions with his heart, as if he could see the once innocent and energetic little girl gradually growing up to become the gentle and kind girl she is today.
Lin Xiao continued to flip through the photo album, with a happy smile on her face. She said: "These photos witnessed my growth, and also made me understand that the little things in life are the most precious wealth." She gently stroked the photos, with tears in her eyes.
Su Yang held Lin Xiao's hand and comforted her: "Your growth story is beautiful and touching. Thank you for sharing it with me." Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Because you are a special person, I want to tell you everything."
They smiled at each other, and their feelings for each other became deeper. At this moment, they seemed to have walked into each other's inner world, understanding and cherishing each other's past and future.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the family gathering is coming to an end. Su Yang said goodbye to Lin Xiao's family one by one. Lin Xiao's parents took his hand and said, "Su Yang, come and visit often in the future." Su Yang nodded: "Uncle and aunt, I will, thank you for your hospitality today."
After leaving Lin Xiao's house, Lin Xiao and Su Yang walked hand in hand in the sunset. Lin Xiao asked, "How do you feel today?" Su Yang smiled and said, "Great, your family is very warm, I like them very much." Lin Xiao smiled happily, "That's good, I was worried that you would not adapt."
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, reflecting their happy figures. This family gathering allowed Su Yang to get to know Lin Xiao's family more deeply, and also deepened his relationship with Lin Xiao. They believed that in the days to come, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they could work together to create a beautiful future for themselves.
