The next morning, Su's parents were overjoyed to find that Su Ningning and Shen Xingbai had returned.
Su's father went to the market early in the morning and bought a lot of vegetables, planning to cook a big meal.
Su Ningning slept until after 10 a.m. before slowly getting up, while Shen Xingbai got up much earlier.
She stayed by Su's father's side, helping him out, and even cooked several dishes herself, all of which were Su Ningning's favorite foods.
He chatted and laughed with Su's father, talking about all sorts of interesting things Su Ningning did at school, and Su's father listened with great pleasure.
After Su Ningning walked out, still half asleep, Shen Xingbai was clearly distracted.
His gaze kept drifting towards her, and his hands slowed down a bit while doing his work.
Su's father hadn't noticed that Su Ningning was up yet, and simply asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xingbai quickly regained his composure and coughed lightly, "It's nothing."
When the dishes were served, he naturally moved all of Su Ningning's favorite dishes to face her directly.
They kept piling food on her plate during the meal, until her bowl was overflowing.
Moreover, during this meal, he sat very close to Su Ningning, and their arms were touching.
As Su's father watched this scene, he felt that something was off.
Shen Xingbai was extremely conflicted; she wanted to tell Su's father directly that they were together.
I didn't want to make it sound too deliberate; I wanted to find the most natural moment.
He originally wanted to directly hold Su Ningning's hand to show the change in their relationship, but in the atmosphere at home, he ultimately didn't have the heart to do so.
When it was time for dinner, Su's mother also came home from get off work.
At the dinner table, Su's father casually mentioned his college life and asked Su Ningning with a smile, "Ningning, did you have a boyfriend/girlfriend in school?"
Su's mother glanced at Shen Xingbai subconsciously. He looked calm on the surface, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, as if he was expecting something.
She was just wondering what was going on when she heard her daughter speak up confidently:
"We talked."
"They've dated??!?!" Su's father was immediately shocked. He had only been joking, and he knew how oblivious his daughter was to relationships.
Su's mother was also surprised. Thinking of Shen Xingbai's expression just now, she had a guess in her mind.
Sure enough, Su Ningning tilted her chin to the side and said matter-of-factly:
"Yes, we talked. It's this guy next to me."
Su's father suddenly turned to look at Shen Xingbai.
Su's mother couldn't help but laugh.
Especially seeing Shen Xingbai's joyful face, a joy that couldn't be hidden no matter what,
She gently shook her head. Whoever gives the most is the most passive and the easiest to be manipulated.
At that moment, Su's father finally understood why he had always felt that something was off about the two of them.
The atmosphere between the two was different, especially the way Shen Xing looked at his daughter, which was much more obvious.
They had originally thought highly of Shen Xingbai, but seeing that nothing had happened between the two of them for so long, they were starting to give up on the idea.
"When...did you two get together?"
Su Ningning kept her head down, busy eating, her mouth stuffed full, and mumbled indistinctly, "Just yesterday, we just got together."
Su's father looked at Shen Xingbai with a half-smile and snorted:
"No wonder you were so attentive today, cooking your favorite dishes, sitting next to me, and constantly serving you food."
Are you trying to subtly assert your dominance over Ningning, as if you're afraid no one will know how close you are to her?
Shen Xingbai's ear tips turned red instantly, a little embarrassed.
Su Ningning looked at her father with a puzzled expression:
"Old Su, don't you like Shen Xingbai? Didn't you always praise him before? Why are you unhappy now that he's my boyfriend?"
Shen Xingbai tensed up instantly, staring intently at Su's father.
Seeing Su's father's slightly stunned expression, Su's mother slowly tried to smooth things over:
"What are you saying, child? How could your father disagree? He just didn't react in time because it all came so suddenly."
Su's father coughed lightly, his expression softening: "Yes, yes, it's fine."
After dinner, Su's father subtly gave Su's mother a wink.
Su's mother immediately understood and said to Su Ningning with a smile, "Ningning, come with Mom for a walk."
Su Ningning subconsciously looked at Shen Xingbai: "Isn't Shen Xingbai going?"
"He's not going," Su's mother said with a smile.
"Let him wash the dishes with your dad. We women don't do that kind of hand-damaging work."
Su Ningning thought her mother was right, so she nodded and followed her mother out the door.
The moment the door closed, the house fell silent, and the atmosphere turned cold, leaving only Su's father and Shen Xingbai.
Su's father sat down at the dining table, his face darkening, the smile from before gone, and he quietly looked at Shen Xingbai.
Shen Xingbai's heart tightened, knowing that the main event was about to begin, and he immediately stood up straight, his expression solemn.
Su's father spoke first, his tone calm yet weighty:
"Now it's just the two of us, so tell me, are you serious about my Ningning?"
"Yes, I was extremely serious, I've never been this serious before," Shen Xingbai answered without hesitation.
Su's father nodded and then added:
"My daughter is different from others. She's a bit slow-witted and straightforward in her actions and words, sometimes even acting unconventionally."
Shen Xingbai immediately replied, her eyes full of tenderness: "I like her just the way she is. In my heart..."
Ningning has always been the most unique. She is simple and straightforward, living a clear and carefree life.
No matter what she looks like, I like her; she's beautiful no matter how you look at her.
He spoke at length about how good Su Ningning was, every word of which came from the bottom of his heart. As Su's father listened, his brows gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, before he immediately returned to his normal expression.
On the surface, he still put on a serious and proper appearance, trying his best to maintain the airs of an elder.
After a moment of silence, Su's father coughed twice and continued, "I hope you remember what I said today."
From now on, it's just that Ningning doesn't want you anymore, and you're not allowed to return us.
Furthermore, no matter what grievances or hardships I suffer in the future,
You have to bear it all yourself; don't come to me complaining later.
Shen Xingbai was slightly taken aback at first, then laughed and cried at the same time, he really didn't expect Su's father to say that.
He quickly suppressed his smile and replied seriously, "Uncle, I understand."
I know better than anyone that Ningning is different from others.
Once, when we went out for a late-night snack, we encountered some drunken men causing trouble. She took action and dealt with those burly men.
One kick, one kill; swift and domineering. I've seen it with my own eyes.
Shen Xingbai spoke sincerely:
"So I know in my heart what will happen if I ever dare to do anything to betray her."
They'll be even worse off than those burly men.
But I'm not afraid. Because I will only treat her well for the rest of my life, and I will never let her down.
Su's father never expected that Shen Xingbai knew about his daughter's abilities and still dared to provoke her.
For a moment, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes as he looked at Shen Xingbai, and he was extremely satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
