Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 816 They're all thieves

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Youyu received a phone call and then said to Li Luo, "My parents are arriving soon, can they drive in?"

“Just let them in. Butler Liu has already spoken to the security guard at the gate.” Upon hearing this, Li Luo stood up and said, “I’ll go down with you to meet your uncle and aunt.”

"Oh." Xu Youyu nodded immediately, then beckoned to Yan Zhusheng, "Zhusheng, come here and help me fight for a while."

After saying that, Xu Youyu stood up and left the entertainment room with Li Luo, taking the elevator to the basement level.

At this moment, Xu Rongsheng had already driven his car into the underground parking lot of Tianlu Yaju.

Looking at the spacious parking spaces below and the luxurious entrances of the basement apartments we passed, Cui Suling, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought we'd have a day like this."

"What's wrong?" Xu Rongsheng glanced at Cui Suling. "You think our house is too small?"

"Look at what you're saying." Cui Suling rolled her eyes at him. "I'm just happy for our daughter. She's found a good boyfriend, so she'll be living a good life from now on, right?"

“Youyu is capable; she can live a comfortable life by writing novels,” Xu Rongsheng reminded her earnestly. “She and Li Luo are in love, which is a good thing, but it doesn’t mean she’s clinging to him. Don’t say anything out of line later.”

"I know, I know." Cui Suling waved her hand. "You talk the most. You should think about how to remind Li Luo to stay away from those two girls, Zhusheng and Xixi."

"Didn't I say before?" Xu Rongsheng sighed, "They're still in university, and they're all still young. Let nature take its course."

"The past is the past, the present is the present." Cui Suling clicked her tongue. "Your daughter has been completely taken advantage of, what's wrong with this little request?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Rongsheng's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "When did you find out?"

"Huh?" Cui Suling was also a little surprised by his reaction. "You know too? I thought you didn't."

Xu Rongsheng: "..."

“I found out during summer vacation,” Cui Suling said in a low voice. “It was during a trip with them in a campervan, you know. They had already done *that* before that. What about you? When did you find out?”

“Summer vacation…” Xu Rongsheng was silent for a while, then sighed, “As for me, I just found out a while ago that the two of them were in the car, um… I saw Li Luo’s car and went up to say hello.”

"It turned out that Yu's face was unusually red, which was very abnormal."

"She also said it was because she was running at night, and showed me her records of running in the sunshine, but more than 20 minutes had passed by the time she finished running."

"Then I guessed it."

"In the car?!" Cui Suling exclaimed, her face flushing red. Then she couldn't help but spit out a curse. "These two kids are really something... how can they be so unpredictable?"

"You still haven't told me." Xu Rongsheng clearly didn't want to discuss this topic, and changed the subject, asking, "You found out during summer vacation, why didn't you tell me?"

"I think their protective measures were quite thorough, and since it happened, let's just leave it at that," Cui Suling said. "I've always liked Li Luo, and besides, you didn't tell me after you found out, did you?"

"How can I compare them?" Xu Rongsheng said helplessly. "I didn't find any conclusive evidence. What if they were just a young couple being affectionate in the car?"

"Heh." Cui Suling pursed her lips. "Since everyone already knows, then so be it. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you, as the father, would feel heartbroken."

"What are you saying?" Xu Rongsheng shook his head repeatedly. "It's only natural for men and women to be attracted to each other. No matter who Youyu is in a relationship with, they will eventually reach this point."

"The current target is Li Luo, and we all have a very good impression of him, so it's naturally the best arrangement."

“He is successful in his career, has a good personality, and his parents are also very nice people who have a good relationship with us.”

"Although they are a grade apart, Youyu is only half a year older than Li Luo."

"Two people of the same age who have common topics have come together. I think it's pretty good."

From his words, Cui Suling could tell that Xu Rongsheng was genuinely satisfied with Li Luo.

Cui Suling herself felt the same way, but the couple's satisfaction with Li Luo was completely different from each other's perspectives.

Cui Suling is quite pragmatic when it comes to marriage and relationships. She looks at it purely from a profit perspective, thinking that Li Luo is young, talented, and can make money, making him a very suitable husband for her daughter.

Xu Rongsheng, on the other hand, had a completely different perspective. He felt that his daughter was fully capable of earning money to support herself, so he valued the spiritual connection between the man and his daughter more.

"Old Ying and Wanqing will be here later, so watch your words." Xu Rongsheng drove to the entrance of the basement of Villa A08, parked in an empty parking space, and turned to remind Cui Suling.

"I know." Cui Suling sighed. "Do you think they also hope that their daughters can get together with Li Luo? Xixi and Zhusheng both seem to like Li Luo quite a bit."

"Let's not meddle in this kind of thing," Xu Rongsheng shook his head helplessly. "Do you think we can just let Li Luo split into three?"

"I'm just worried," Cui Suling said irritably. "It's not just Li Luo and Youyu who moved here this time; Xixi and Zhusheng came along too."

"What exactly does Li Luo mean by this? Does he intend to seduce all three girls?"

"Can't you use your brain a little more? All you ever say is 'let nature take its course.' I don't think you care about fishing at all."

"Alright, alright." Xu Rongsheng rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. "What can you do now? Your daughter isn't stupid. If something really happens, she won't just ignore it."

"She's just a nobody, what can she possibly care about..." Cui Suling couldn't help but mutter.

“You Yu just looks like a salted fish, do you really underestimate her?” Xu Rongsheng glanced at his wife. “Although her values ​​are largely shaped by me, she really does take after you in some aspects of her personality. In this regard, I think she’s very proactive.”

"Otherwise, how could he have won over Li Luo right after he graduated from high school?"

"Just like you were back in college."

"What are you saying?" Cui Suling glared at her and couldn't help but question, "What do you mean by 'the same kind of person'?"

"Ahem..." Xu Rongsheng coughed. "I was praising you both for being proactive and courageous in pursuing your relationships. You deserve commendation."

"Heh... I see you're quite pleased with yourself." Cui Suling pouted, crossed her arms, and snorted.

At this moment, Li Luo and Xu Youyu, who had been waiting at the entrance of the basement, saw that the two of them had not gotten out of the car for a long time and started walking towards them.

Xu Rongsheng then unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and said to Cui Suling, "Let's all watch what we say. Let's get out of the car."

The two got out of the car and greeted Li Luo and Xu Youyu.

Li Luo greeted them politely, while Xu Youyu cheerfully took Cui Suling's arm.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you two on a tour," Xu Youyu said impatiently.

"Where are the others?" Xu Rongsheng asked.

“They’re all on the fourth floor,” Li Luo replied as she walked. “They’re playing mahjong. Aunt Cui can come up and join in the fun later. Dinner doesn’t start until six, so it’s still early.”

"Are your mom and the others here?" Cui Suling said with a smile. "I haven't played for several days, and I'm itching to play."

As they said this, the four of them walked through the gate.

With Xu Youyu's introduction, Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling toured the gym, bar, and pool table entertainment area on the basement level. Upon arriving at the first-floor living room, Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling greeted Butler Liu.

They were there when I went to Qiongzhou City for tourism before, and I got to know Butler Liu. So it's natural that I was a little surprised to see them again now.

After looking at the layout of the first floor, Xu Youyu took the two of them for a walk around the backyard.

Xu Rongsheng quite liked the fish pond in the backyard and jokingly said, "You and your dad won't need to go fishing anymore; you can fish right here."

“That’s true.” Li Luo laughed. “This fish pond has just been set up. If you two are interested, I can raise more edible fish in it in the future, and the kitchen can cook them when we catch them.”

"Not bad."

Xu Rongsheng thought the backyard design suited his taste quite well, and nodded repeatedly after taking a walk around.

After returning to the house, they visited the study and collection room on the second floor, and then, with Xu Youyu's careful introduction, visited the cat room specially designed for the cats.

They bought two automatic litter boxes and built a whole room full of cat trees along the wall. The cabinets are stuffed with all kinds of cat food, cat treats and small toys.

It's practically a paradise for cats.

"You're going to adopt four cats?" Cui Suling frowned like Lin Xiuhong after hearing this. "Can you manage to keep them all?"

"Don't worry." Xu Youyu pushed Cui Suling's shoulder and walked out. "We have a cleaning lady and housekeeper Liu around, so we don't have to worry about anything."

With that, Xu Youyu led them into the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth floor.

When Cui Suling realized they had arrived on the fourth floor, she asked in confusion, "Haven't we gone to the third floor yet?"

"The third floor is just a few bedrooms, nothing much to see." Xu Youyu shook his head, casually brushing it off, and then pulled the two of them up to the rooftop to show them the swimming pool.

She didn't take her parents to see the recording studio and piano room because those were Yan Zhusheng's private spaces. If they were to see them, they might start making wild guesses.

So after Xu Youyu led the two down from the rooftop, they went straight to the recreation room and pulled his mother to sit down and play mahjong.

The couple didn't think much of it, assuming the other rooms on the fourth floor might be storage rooms or something. After entering the recreation room, they greeted everyone and joined in.

Cui Suling and Lin Xiuhong, along with Yuan Wanqing and Ying Chanxi, sat in a circle playing mahjong.

Xu Youyu then pulled Li Luo to sing with Yan Zhusheng.

Xu Rongsheng and Ying Zhicheng sat at the table playing board games, chatting casually.

A little while later, Li Luo also came over, chatting with him while playing Dou Dizhu (a card game). When Li Guohong returned, the four of them continued playing cards.

It wasn't until nearly six o'clock in the evening that Butler Liu knocked on the door and came in to remind everyone that they could come downstairs for dinner. Only then did Li Luo get up and greet everyone, and they all went downstairs to the restaurant.

The three families, totaling ten people, fit perfectly at the restaurant's large round table without feeling crowded.

The cold dishes had already been served. Li Luo personally poured drinks for everyone, then returned to his seat, smiled and said some auspicious words, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

At the dinner table, Li Luo deliberately steered the conversation, afraid that the elders would bring up matters of love and marriage, so she kept talking about her recent career.

The filming of "The Beginning", the development of Douyin, the current business expansion of Reign Culture, and the scholarship for Qianjiang University, etc.

Ying Chanxi and the others ate their food obediently and rarely interrupted.

Most of the time, Li Luo was chatting with several elders about these things.

After everyone had enjoyed themselves, they returned to the fourth floor to continue playing.

That evening, since everyone had been drinking, Li Luo decided to let the elders stay overnight.

Three guest rooms are enough for three couples, two on the first floor and one on the second floor. Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong slept on the second floor.

The other two couples slept on the first floor.

"Well... since it's only the first day we've moved in, let's each sleep in our own rooms tonight," Li Luo said to the three girls after returning to the third floor.

Although it's highly unlikely that Ying Zhicheng and his team would come to check on patients in the middle of the night for no reason, it's still better to be cautious.

As Li Luo made these plans, the three girls obediently nodded and returned to their rooms after taking a shower.

Li Luo took a shower and lay down on the huge four-person bed in her master bedroom.

It's rare to feel a little empty.

To avoid the cramped feeling at the Bihai Lanting place, Li Luo specially ordered this large bed, which is several meters wide.

To roll from the left side of the bed to the right, you need to roll at least four or five times to get to the other side.

Even if four people sleep together, it will be spacious.

Not to mention that Li Luo is all alone now, that's not spacious at all, it's too empty.

It's like sleeping on the vast grassland.

However, Li Luo only felt lonely for a short while.

Not long after, he heard footsteps coming from inside the house.

It wasn't coming from the hallway outside the master bedroom, but from the walk-in closet.

Soon, the sliding door to the dressing room was secretly opened by someone.

A petite, furtive figure stealthily slipped to Li Luo's bedside.

Hearing the footsteps, Li Luo pretended to be asleep until the other person's footsteps reached the bedside. He then suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the other person into his arms.

"Ah!" Ying Chanxi exclaimed in surprise, then slapped Li Luo's chest in annoyance, "Why are you pretending to be asleep when you're awake?"

"How can you pretend to be asleep if you're not awake?" Li Luo chuckled, pinning her down. "Someone's been naughty. We agreed to go back to our rooms, so why did you sneak over here?"

"I didn't come in from outside, so theoretically it's my own room, right?" Ying Chanxi muttered softly, blushing.

They share a walk-in closet, so there's really nothing wrong with that.

But just when Ying Chanxi thought he could have Li Luo all to himself for the night, the door to the master bedroom was gently pushed open.

A tall figure slowly crept in from outside the door.
