I wouldn’t dare act like this in a TV series.

"Senior, have you figured it out? Are you here to find me?"

Apparently she still hadn't understood the real situation. Xu Wanru, who was wearing a pair of plush slippers, had a flushed face.

She raised her head and looked at Li Gui, thinking that the senior had finally agreed to her pursuit by coming to her home.

"Um, no, I came to find your father to get that big knife. I didn't expect that Xu Meng is really your sister."

Gently pushing Xu Wanru away, Li Gui looked a little embarrassed when he looked at Xu Meng, who was wearing an apron and walking out of the kitchen, in the doubtful eyes of the other party.

He is not a fool, he can analyze the situation even when it is so obvious.

Xu's father's tone last night should have been intended to bring him and Xu Meng together, but he didn't expect that such an unexpected result would occur.

"Oh, oh, Xiaowan, get out of the way. Why are you keeping your sister's friend out?"

It was Xu's mother who was the first to break the silence. She could feel the atmosphere was a little stiff, so she quickly took the initiative to help liven up the atmosphere.

Hearing this, he turned around in confusion and looked at his parents with strange expressions. Xu Wanru seemed to have finally guessed something. She bit her lip and stepped away slightly.

Standing in the corner of the door, his eyes unconsciously looked at Xu Meng at the kitchen door.

"I, I'm going to cook. Please wait a moment. I'll be ready soon."

Xu Meng looked a little pale, and his stiff fake smile didn't last long before he turned around and returned to the kitchen.

"Hey, Lao Xu, let this young man sit down quickly. Why are you so stunned?"

Although she noticed the change in her daughter's mood, Xu's mother didn't know how to comfort her, especially since Li Gui was still here. She could only give Xu's father a look and let him take over the embarrassing situation.

"Oh, oh, Li Gui, right? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

Li Gui put his backpack on the sofa. Although he roughly understood why the atmosphere was so strange, Li Gui felt that it was a bit too exaggerated.

He and Xu Meng had not known each other for long, and they were at most ordinary friends. Even if Xu's father and Xu's mother misunderstood at first, they wouldn't be so panicked.

Why does it look like this, as if he has been with Xu Meng and then failed Xu Wanru?

Not so.

"Well, Xiao Li, how old are you this year?"

Facing the eyes of his wife and little daughter, Xu's father thought for a while. Although he didn't know how to deal with this situation, he took the initiative to speak when Li Gui sat next to him.

"22, just graduated."

Facing this familiar inquiry, Li Gui's expression was a little strange.

He originally thought he could come here and get a big knife and leave, but looking at the situation now, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to leave for a while.

"Oh...then, that's good. It's about the same age as my two daughters."

"Where do you work?"

"I used to work in a hospital in Jiulin City, but later I resigned because of some things."

"oh oh."

The environment falls into silence.

The smile on Father Xu's face was a little sore. Before Li Gui came, he had a lot of questions in his mind that he wanted to inquire about.

After all, he is the first young man his eldest daughter likes. As a father, there is nothing wrong with him taking a good look at Li Gui.

But unexpectedly, the person the eldest daughter liked was actually the senior the younger daughter had been pursuing.

This girl didn't tell her senior's name earlier, and now he didn't know what to do.

"Ahem, Jiameng, don't be stunned, go get Xiao Li some water."

"Oh, oh, good."

Xu's mother nodded and was about to turn around and go to the kitchen when she was stopped by Li Gui.

"No, Auntie, it's too much trouble. I have something to do later and I won't be able to play for long. I'll show you off next time."

"Why don't you have a meal first? Xiao Meng has been dreaming for a long time."

Hearing this, Father Xu took over instinctively.

Only later did he realize that the little daughter beside him was looking at him with some resentment.

"Actually, it didn't take long."

Xu Meng, who came out of the kitchen holding a casserole, defended slightly with a red face after hearing this.

"Most of it was actually done by my mother. I just started."

"Let's eat first and then leave. It won't take long and everything will be ready."

Xu's mother sighed slightly in her heart and tried to smooth things over.

"Well...well, I'll bother you then."

Hearing this, Li Gui could only sit back on the sofa first.

He originally wanted to save more time and go to Sichuan Mu again.

But thinking that he would have to buy someone else's sword for free later, it was really not good to leave like this, so he could only sit down again and took a look at the time.

Fortunately, it's only after 11 o'clock, so there should still be time.

"I'll go help. Lao Xu, you chat with Xiao Li first."

"Oh, oh, good."

Seeing his wife running away like this, Xu's father could only take the initiative to accompany the guests.

His mind was blank now and he could only play awkwardly with this young man.

"Xiao Li, do you eat walnuts and smoke?"

"Thank you, uncle. I don't know how to smoke. I have never learned how to smoke."

"It's good if you don't smoke. By the way, you and Xiaowan are from the same school. They are both doctors. No wonder you don't smoke. It's good...it's good."

"So you...uh...are your family members in good health?"

"I am an orphan, and I am the only one in the family."

"Oh, oh, sorry."

"fine."

Seeing her father and senior chatting awkwardly, Xu Wanru, who had been standing at the door, bit her lip unconsciously and walked over on her own initiative.

"Dad, you go help mom and the others serve the food. I'll just stay with the seniors."

"That's alright...don't mess around, your mother and I are right next door."

"Dad, what are you talking about?!"

"Ahem...Anyway, you should pay attention to yourself."

Hearing the conversation between father and daughter, Li Gui felt a little speechless.

I am Tang Monk, everyone wants to eat me.

"Senior, how did you and my sister meet?"

Sitting directly next to Li Gui, Xu Wanru showed a rare ladylike behavior. With a red face, Xu Wanru took the initiative to help Li Gui peel the oranges.

"There was an offline adventure online before, and I was going to investigate some horrific supernatural incident. I had nothing to do so I went over there, and she happened to be there too... I didn't expect that she was actually your sister."

Speaking of this, Li Gui was also a little surprised, but he might have guessed it from the beginning, so he wasn't too shocked.

Instead, Xu's father and mother were so obviously at a loss what to do, which made him feel a little puzzled.

"My sister usually writes horror novels, and she really likes to go to some weird places."

After muttering something and handing the peeled orange to Li Gui, Xu Wanru lowered her head and looked at the white stockings on her feet. After hesitating for a long time, she asked

"Senior, do you... like my sister?"

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. Your sister and I have only met once. They are just ordinary friends. I came here just because I heard that your dad has an antique sword here. I want to spend money to buy it."

Li Gui almost choked to death on the seed. After coughing it out, he quickly looked at Xu Wanru and explained.

It's not that I'm afraid of being misunderstood by her, but I'm worried that some jealous person might hear it and get some good results.

Although this person should be resting, it is better not to commit suicide.

"Well, Li Gui, what do you think of my sister?"

Still a little uneasy, Xu Wanru sat up straight and asked in pursuit.

Please, your sister is in the kitchen next door, and I want to use your father's things for free. How can I say that it's inappropriate for you to ask this question?

"Very smart and calm. The place we went to last time was quite dangerous and scary. Your sister helped a lot."

Li Gui did not express his inner complaints, but tried his best to choose some objective comments.

When the words fell to the ground, I was worried that some jealous person would hear them, so I didn't forget to add something.

"As a normal friend, it's really good."

"Actually, I can actually do it. I've played a lot of horror games recently. Although I haven't finished it yet, I'm getting close to it."

Women only listen to the descriptions they want to hear.

Xu Wanru, who felt that Li Gui had been talking about the advantages of his sister, muttered unconvincingly. Apparently, he felt that his senior was partial to his sister.

"It's not that I like those weird places, I just have a reason to go."

I'm worried that this girl will misunderstand and turn to death.

Li Gui hesitated for a while and then explained.

"The reason why I have to go is that senior has encountered any difficulties. Can I help senior?"

Hearing this, Xu Wanru immediately ran to look at him worriedly.

But this time Li Gui didn't answer, but ate the orange in silence.

"Senior, if it is very dangerous, I can help senior. Although, I am timid, but..."

Thinking that Li Gui thought she was useless and couldn't help, Xu Wanru wanted to continue explaining, but was interrupted by her mother's words in the kitchen.

"Xiao Wan, come over for dinner first. Li Gui has something to do later, so don't pester me."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just asking about the senior's interests and hobbies."

After an unconvinced defense, Xu Wanru stood up and took the initiative to lead Li Gui over.

There was a lot of food on the table, and it was obvious that Xu Meng was really attentive to Li Gui's arrival.

"Xiao Li, sit down first and have a good taste. This is the pork rib soup that Xiao Meng spent several hours stewing when she woke up in the morning. Just in time for you..."

Seeing Li Gui enter the restaurant, Xu's mother instinctively handed over the bowls and chopsticks and started to entertain him.

However, before he finished speaking, Xu's father slapped his hand with chopsticks and gestured to Xu Meng who was cooking behind him.

"Well, actually I can also learn to cook."

Hearing what the little daughter next to her said, Xu's mother knew that she was talking too much, so she simply smiled without saying anything, handed the bowl and chopsticks to Li Gui, and sat back down in her seat.

"Thank you auntie."

Chapter 134 Big Sword (3k words)

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a bit silent and awkward.

Just because of Xu Wanru's words, the atmosphere that had improved slightly fell into a trough again.

Everyone sitting around the dinner table remained silent, and there was only the faint sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks in the air.

"Well, Li Gui, try this. I don't know what kind of food you like, so I just bought some."

"Oh, oh, okay, thank you auntie."
