Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 806 Three Things You Absolutely Shouldn't Do Before Getting Married
After placing the last dish on the outdoor table, Li Luo walked to the door of the piano room, knocked, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Yan Zhusheng gradually stopped playing the piano, turned her head to look at Li Luo who came in, and heard him say, "Dinner is ready, come and eat."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng obediently responded, then got up and followed Li Luo out of the piano room, sat down with Xu Youyu, and began to enjoy dinner.

"We're moving tomorrow afternoon," Li Luo said to the two of them. "We'll have a dinner party at the villa tonight, and invite your aunt and uncle over to celebrate. You've already told them, right?"

"Don't worry, I already told you," Xu Youyu replied while eating. "But my dad has something to do this afternoon, so he probably won't be able to get over until around four o'clock."

"What about Aunt Cui?" Li Luo asked.

"She'll be busy at the library," Xu Youyu said. "She can come earlier this afternoon, but I'd still prefer she come with her dad."

Li Luo nodded in understanding.

Cui Suling works as a librarian at Qianjiang University, earning four to five thousand yuan a month. Her job is quite easy, and most of the time she is helped and directed by school volunteers and students from impoverished families.

Moreover, she wasn't the only administrator. Her workday started when the library opened in the morning and lasted until around three or four in the afternoon.

And since there's nothing important, it doesn't matter if I'm not there occasionally.

It could be said that Xu Rongsheng specially found her an easy job.

After learning about Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling's schedule for tomorrow, Li Luo turned to look at Yan Zhusheng.

“Mom has made a point of not taking on any work these past two days,” Yan Zhusheng explained. “She said she’ll be coming over with Dad tomorrow morning and can help us move and stuff.”

"It's not really about helping out, since we don't have much to bring," Li Luo said with a chuckle. "But you came so early in the morning? Is everything alright at Uncle Ying's company?"

"Yeah," Yan Zhusheng nodded and said, "Dad said it's fine for him to take a day off."

"How do you know what Uncle Ying said?" Xu Youyu asked curiously. "Did he tell you directly? Or did he tell Xixi?"

"It was mentioned in the group chat," Yan Zhusheng explained seriously, then took out her phone and showed it to Li Luo and Xu Youyu, "It's this group."

Yan Zhusheng opened a WeChat group chat called "A Loving Family" and showed it to the two of them.

Li Luoguang couldn't help but laugh when he saw the group name: "Who came up with this group name?"

"Of course I named it." Yan Zhusheng proudly puffed out her cute chest, slightly raised her chin, and looked at Li Luo expectantly as if she wanted him to praise her.

"That's good..." Li Luo suppressed a laugh, but after stealing a glance at the chat, she couldn't hold back any longer.

There are very few chat records in this group. After all, they usually have a very active large group where all four children and their parents are in, and they talk about many things directly in that group, so this group is much quieter.

As a result, the group was completely filled with marketing articles that Ying Zhicheng would forward from time to time.

The content is nothing more than explaining the importance of a girl remaining chaste.

Six things girls should pay attention to when dating.

Three things you should absolutely never do before getting married.

There are also questions like how to tell if a man truly loves you.

In short, it was all done with good intentions.

Li Luo, however, made a concerted effort to maintain basic politeness and respect for Ying Zhicheng, and refrained from laughing out loud.

But Xu Youyu, who was peeking over from the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then he couldn't stop laughing.

"Uncle Ying is so cute, hahaha~" Xu Youyu chuckled, clutching her stomach. "Why do you and Xixi send me this kind of stuff every day?"

"I don't know either." Yan Zhusheng shook her head innocently. "Anyway, ever since Dad found out about what happened between me, Xixi, and Li Luo, he's been posting this all the time."

Li Luo: "..."

Uncle Ying is really up to no good... Is he really that wary of him?
However, Li Luo put herself in Ying Zhicheng's shoes and thought about it. If it were Li Luo herself, she probably wouldn't be able to stand having her two precious daughters taken away by the same man.

The fact that they've been able to swallow their anger until now, only secretly posting articles in the family group chat, is already quite a restrained act.

"Eat, eat, keep eating." Li Luo waved her hand, signaling her to put her phone away. "Did Uncle Ying and the others say what time they'd be coming tomorrow morning?"

"They said they'd be here around nine o'clock," Yan Zhusheng replied.

"Okay, I understand." Li Luo nodded. "Then tomorrow morning after our run, we'll go to the market first and buy more groceries so we can cook lunch."

“Oh, no problem.” Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently.

After the three of them finished dinner, Yan Zhusheng got up to clear the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu returned to their respective rooms and began writing.

Around 8 p.m., Ying Chanxi finally returned home, exhausted. After changing into slippers and tossing her bag on the sofa, she stretched and headed toward the master bedroom.

She is now getting more and more used to balancing school and managing the company, keeping Reign Culture running smoothly.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the company doesn't have much business right now.

After all, it's impossible to take on advertisements every day. Each artist can only take on one or two per month, which is about right.

Someone like Bai Lixuan, who isn't very popular yet, can't even get advertising deals, so he can only stay in the film crew and film for now.

As for Ruan Lin, Ying Chanxi didn't let her be idle during this time. In addition to the filming of "The Beginning", there were also plans for the entire cast and crew of "A Little Reunion" to join Douyin.

A few days ago, Ruan Lin, along with several other main actors from "A Little Reunion," announced that she had joined Douyin, which also caused a wave of discussion.

"A Little Reunion" was undoubtedly the biggest hit of this summer, and even though three or four months have passed, its influence remains enormous.

In just a few days, Ruan Lin's Douyin followers have exceeded one million.

Recently, Ying Chanxi has been thinking about letting her try out an advertisement on Douyin without interfering with the filming of the movie.

I got back so late today mainly because I took two members from the business department to meet with an advertiser and we went out for dinner.

Returning home at this moment, she was naturally exhausted, both physically and mentally. After entering the master bedroom, she rushed into Li Luo's arms and snuggled against him.

"You're back after you finished work?"

Li Luo sat sideways on the chair, hugged Ying Chanxi, and rubbed her head, saying, "You've worked hard."

"Mmm." Ying Chanxi smelled the scent on Li Luo's body and felt at ease, realizing that all her efforts had been worthwhile.

She leaned against Li Luo and quietly explained what she had been busy with these past few days, then chatted about the dinner party that evening, indicating that she had successfully secured the advertising contract.

As she said this, her chin tilted up slightly with pride, as if she were asking for credit.

Seeing her adorable appearance, Li Luo couldn't help but pinch her cheek: "Our Xixi is really amazing, she has the same style as Uncle Ying."

"Of course!" Ying Chanxi laughed happily. "I specifically consulted my dad about many questions." For example, the three things you shouldn't do before getting married?

Upon hearing Ying Chanxi's words, Li Luo's expression turned somewhat strange, and the chat logs that Yan Zhusheng had shown him earlier instantly flashed into his mind.

Fortunately, he had great self-control and managed not to burst out laughing.

Ying Chanxi didn't notice anything unusual and was even humming a little tune, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Oh, right." After finishing these trivial matters, Ying Chanxi remembered something and said to Li Luo, "My dad said he'll be here tomorrow morning and asked me to tell you."

"Yes." Li Luo nodded. "Zhu Sheng already told us about it."

"Really?" Ying Chanxi sat sideways on Li Luo, glancing at Yan Zhusheng who was lying on the bed looking at her phone. "Why was someone so quiet after I came in?"

"How could I dare to make a sound and disturb you when my sister and Li Luo are being affectionate?" Yan Zhusheng blinked and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Ying Chanxi was speechless: "...How could you say such a thing?"

"My sister seems to have a lot of opinions about me."

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you." Ying Chanxi snorted and got off Li Luo, then said, "We're moving tomorrow, I'm going to pack my things first. Zhusheng, have you finished packing?"

"No." Yan Zhusheng shook her head.

"Then hurry up and get ready!"

"It's not too late to pack tomorrow," Yan Zhusheng said. "There's plenty of time tomorrow morning. I don't have much stuff. If you want to pack, you can go back to your room first."

"Then Li Luo, come help me pack," Ying Chanxi said, pulling Li Luo along.

“Li Luo is still writing,” Yan Zhusheng stopped him. “Why are you disturbing his work, sister?”

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Ying Chanxi glanced at her. "While I'm packing my luggage, you'll definitely be dragging Li Luo to take a shower secretly."

"How could that be?" Yan Zhusheng blinked and replied innocently, "If I wanted to take a bath with Li Luo, I would have finished before you came back."

"Who knows what kind of weird quirks some people have that make them like to secretly drag Li Luo to take a bath when I'm home," Ying Chanxi snorted. "They must be a bit of a psychopath."

"Then what about the sister who likes to take a bath with three people?"

"When did I ever like taking a bath with three people? Don't talk nonsense!"

“You didn’t say that last time we took a bath, I remember…”

"shut up!"

Ying Chanxi's face flushed red, and she pounced on the bed to cover Yan Zhusheng's mouth, trying to stop her from continuing.

The two sisters immediately started making a ruckus on the bed, leaving Li Luo both helpless and amused, so she rubbed her forehead.

It wasn't until he agreed to accompany Ying Chanxi to pack her luggage that he was finally able to separate the two sisters.

"Alright, alright, let's go." Li Luo said with a chuckle, "Go see what we need to pack, I'll help you."

"Hmm~"

With a sense of triumphant joy, Ying Chanxi took Li Luo's arm, secretly glared at Yan Zhusheng, and then pulled him toward her room.

Yan Zhusheng didn't seem to care much. She rolled over on the bed, crossed her long legs, and continued scrolling through her phone.

On the other side, after Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi into the room, she watched as Ying Chanxi carried out two super large suitcases.

Li Luo couldn't help but laugh. Upon hearing this, Ying Chanxi turned to look at him with a suspicious expression: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Li Luo walked to the suitcase, squatted down to open it for her, and then said, "I just suddenly remembered the summer before the start of the first year of high school, when we had just moved here."

“I remember I didn’t bring much stuff, but when you left the next day, you brought out two huge suitcases and several cardboard boxes. I was stunned.”

"I bet there's a lot of stuff this time, right?"

"Hmph." Ying Chanxi hummed, but her eyes softened and her tone became gentle and soothing. "You still remember... But I don't have that much stuff anymore. Some of the clothes are old, so I plan to donate them."

"I probably won't bring too much this time. I can buy new clothes slowly after I move there."

"Look, I didn't even prepare any cardboard boxes."

"Are you sure you can fit it all in?" Li Luo asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi felt a little guilty after being pressed like this. "Anyway... let's fill both suitcases first!"

With that, Ying Chanxi immediately set to work.

Instead of checking the clothes in the closet, she went to the desk and started ransacking it.

"You can tidy up the clothes later." Ying Chanxi stood by the desk and pointed to the scattered items on it. "Help me tidy up the clutter on my desk first."

"coming."

Li Luo responded and got up to walk to Ying Chanxi's side. He looked at the table and picked up a box. "What's this?"

“This is a fountain pen.” Ying Chanxi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and gestured for him to open it. “Do you remember where it came from?”

"Let me see." Li Luo opened the box and saw a very exquisite and beautiful fountain pen inside.

The entire pen is a deep blue with a hint of black, and under the diffused light of the room, you can see star-like specks.

The pen cap is engraved with the year 2014 in gold.

The pen is engraved with the New Year's Day phrase, "As the new year begins, everything is renewed."

"That fountain pen I won in the raffle at the New Year's Eve party in my first year of high school?" Li Luo laughed. "Have you been using it all this time?"

"I don't use a fountain pen very often," Ying Chanxi said. "I only use it to jot things down when I'm bored."

"Oh right, didn't we exchange a lot of pen pal letters back in high school?"

"Ever since I got this pen, I've used it to write letters."

“Pen pal letters,” Li Luo said with a sigh. “I still keep them all.”

“I kept it too.” Ying Chanxi smiled and opened the first drawer next to her, showing it to Li Luo.

Inside, more than twenty letters were neatly arranged, all of which were pen pal letters that Li Luo had written to her during her three years of high school. She had kept them all carefully.

Although these letters have been around for a long time, and Ying Chanxi has secretly read and savored them countless times, they still look brand new and are very well preserved.
