The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

When a son-in-law visits his parents for the first time, he often ends up playing with the dog.

It's not that nobody likes me, it's that I'm nervous.

Not only the son-in-law is nervous, but the father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very nervous.

Old Xu's son-in-law was also playing with the dog.

He held Snoopy and fired wildly at Lao Xu in a "puppy machine gun" pose.

"Lu Yuan, what exactly do you want?"

Old Xu frantically demonstrated his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

Lu Yuan spoke as if he were apologizing, but there was little remorse on his face.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself because you kept avoiding the dog..."

The two of them had time to joke around because there were few people in the living room.

When the son-in-law brings gifts, of course we have to eat.

Xu's mother went to the kitchen, and Xu Zhixiao went to help. Old Xu and Lu Yuan started arguing.

Suddenly, only two outsiders remained in the house.

Upon seeing this scene...

Duan Hong declined the invitation to stay for dinner and got up to leave immediately.

But Wu Junning did not leave.

"Uncle Xu, I'd like to stay and try Aunt Xu's cooking."

Wu Junning smiled and accepted the invitation in a very familiar manner.

Xu Zhixiao, who was constantly watching for any sounds outside the door while in the kitchen, frowned slightly upon hearing this request.

She felt that Wu Junning's behavior was very unusual.

This is a woman's sixth sense.

Women are often very wary of men who are truly trying to steal their husbands.

But the head of the household is Old Xu, and he makes all the decisions.

Whether or not to let others eat at home depends on whether Lao Xu agrees.

Although Lao Xu also felt it was strange to have Wu Junning eat at his home.

But Old Xu, who had lived a respectable life, could not refuse such a request.

He was about to nod in agreement.

But he forgot that a less-than-respectable person had just joined the family.

Lu Yuan leaned against the sofa, petted Snoopy's dog a couple of times, and then directly issued an order to leave:

"The canteen at the Jiangning branch of the matchmaking agency serves terrible food. The cooks there are awful. You should go try it and then fix it."

Wu Junning, of course, also had something to say to him: "Even your father-in-law didn't say anything."

"I can speak for him."

Can it really represent anything?

Wu Junning stared intently into Lao Xu's eyes.

Waiting for Lao Xu's reaction, and attempting to use that reaction as a basis for making a judgment.

Determining whether Lu Yuan can truly integrate into this family will influence her subsequent strategies.

From her perspective, Lu Yuan was clearly out of place in the family atmosphere.

The strangeness of Lu Yuan appearing in a respectable family of three.

It's no less than the sudden appearance of a bird-like person with wings on their back in a family where people walk on two feet, who keeps clamoring to fly.

Wu Junning felt that when they actually got to know each other...

People with their feet on the ground certainly can't tolerate this flying thing.

But she waited for a long time without receiving a response from Lao Xu.

Because after hearing what Lu Yuan said, Lao Xu, who was about to nod, suddenly stopped.

Then, without saying a word, he turned and went to the kitchen.

Yes, the head of the family didn't say a word.

He didn't even utter a single syllable.

This means that the power to host guests in a family has been completely handed over to this newly arrived son-in-law.

Wu Junning shook his head, leaving behind a rather helpless smile.

She gave up.

She took the initiative to say goodbye and went downstairs.

Lu Yuan certainly had no intention of giving her a ride.

But Xu Zhixiao came out and saw her downstairs.

The two women entered the elevator at the same time.

Wu Junning said, "You won. Can you teach me what methods I used?"

As a veteran marriage broker, to facilitate every marriage, one must possess exceptional interpersonal skills.

This also means that she herself must be able to win over men.

But she couldn't handle the distance.

"Methods?" Xu Zhixiao tilted her head, thinking seriously, and slowly said four words: "Just breathing."

"A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes."

Upon hearing that familiar tone, Wu Junning suddenly recalled those four words.

Xu Zhixiao didn't feel offended at all; instead, she smiled and said, "Thank you, and please come to our wedding as well."

"Isn't it still a long way from getting married?"

"A week from now." Xu Zhixiao nodded, then explained, "If it weren't for the many things to prepare for the wedding, I wouldn't even be able to wait until tomorrow to get married."

"Flash marriages never end well."

"Although our marriage was somewhat unusual, even without that, I would have been willing to have a whirlwind marriage with him."

"In my experience, it seems touching for a woman to fall in love quickly and marry a man, but it's actually a very foolish thing to do. You have to consider the potential risks in the future and test him beforehand..."

"Your experience might be correct," Xu Zhixiao said, seemingly agreeing, but she drew out the last syllable, clearly indicating she was about to add a twist:

"I don't know why I won, but I know why you lost."

Why?

"Because your experience obviously doesn't apply to long distances."

Xu Zhixiao shook her head and said, "How many people have you met to dare say that everyone in this world thinks the same way you do?"

"Isn't it smart and rational to take precautions against risks?"

What you consider clever may be seen as foolishness and cowardice by others.

Xu Zhixiao took the lead and walked out, pushing open the door to the building.

I took a deep breath of the wind and sunshine.

Xu Zhixiao doesn't think of herself as a stupid or cowardly person.

Just like when it comes to choosing whether to become a rock singer, she rationally analyzes the potential costs she might face in the future.

But after she decided to become a rock singer.

She ultimately chose to remove her mask on stage.

Because she chose to bravely embrace the moment, rather than dwell on what would happen afterward.

"To give up the happiness of the present moment for the sake of an unpredictable future." Xu Zhixiao shook her head, then turned and smiled at Wu Junning: "Isn't that foolish and cowardly?"
