As soon as the video call connected, he was instantly stunned!
A delicate and beautiful face appeared on the screen.
It looked almost identical to the face he usually saw in short videos, or perhaps it was even more beautiful in person!
She had a sweet-looking face, and her faint smile seemed to make even the air around her a little sweeter.
Her grayish-brown hair fell long around her shoulders.
She had a rounded oval face, a smooth and well-defined jawline, a short, slightly upturned nose, and full lips, creating an exceptionally refined appearance on camera.
Her short, upturned nose was well-proportioned to her face, while the shape around the sides of her nose formed an almost equilateral triangle, complementing her short facial structure.
Her lips had a distinct M-shaped upper lip paired with a full lower lip, giving her an especially sweet and charming appearance.
Her eyebrows transitioned naturally from straight brows into gently curved, crescent-shaped brows, with an exquisitely defined outline.
The feeling Zhao Lusi gave Wang Yifan was rather peculiar.
It was the feeling of first love!
Zhao Lusi was truly beautiful!
Watching Zhao Lusi smiling brightly on the screen, he was completely mesmerized.
“Brother Fan, what are you staring at?”
Zhao Lusi’s gentle voice was slightly different from Liu Yifei’s, but it was equally pleasant to listen to.
Each had her own unique charm.
“Uh… I was stunned by how beautiful you are, Baby Lusi!”
“Hehe, really?”
“Of course it’s true, Baby!”
“Brother Fan, why did you come home so late last night?”
“Well, my parents were chatting with everyone there until after eleven. When we got home, they pulled me into the kitchen and sat around the fire chatting with me for another hour or so. I sent you a message as soon as I got back to my room!”
“Oh, so that’s what happened. I went to bed pretty early last night. After talking with you, I chatted with my parents for a while too, but by eleven I was already lying in bed. I was holding my phone and waiting for your message, but I ended up falling asleep!”
Zhao Lusi gave him a sweet smile, and it instantly struck his heart.
My goodness, she was unbelievably beautiful!
Fortunately, she was his girlfriend.
If she became someone else’s girlfriend, he would probably regret it to death!
“Brother Fan, what did you talk about with Uncle and Auntie last night?”
“We talked about you.”
“About me?”
“Yeah!”
“What did you say about me? You didn’t badmouth me, did you?”
“Of course not. They asked me when I was going to bring you home!”
He had just been wondering how to ask Zhao Lusi whether she had time to come over.
Now that she had brought up the subject herself, he could simply continue from there.
“Huh?” This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Zhao Lusi let out a surprised sound and stared at him without blinking.
Seeing that she hadn’t quite processed it yet, Wang Yifan smiled slightly.
“Baby, have you been busy lately?”
“Not really. I won’t have to start working again until after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.”
“Then… do you want to come to my house?”
As soon as he said those words, the corners of Zhao Lusi’s lips curved upward.
In fact, she had been waiting for him to say exactly that.
A girl couldn’t exactly be the one to say, “I want to come to your house,” could she?
Naturally, she needed him to say it first before she could agree.
“Brother Xiaofan, will you come pick me up?”
“If you’re coming, I’ll pick you up at the high-speed rail station.”
“Okay! I’ll tell my parents in a little while and buy a ticket for tomorrow’s train. You’ll come pick me up at the station, right?”
“Of course. Baby, I’m already looking forward to seeing you!”
Wang Yifan’s eyes lit up with excitement.
He really couldn’t wait to meet the real Zhao Lusi—and this time, she would be coming as his girlfriend.
Anyone in his position would probably be just as excited.
“Hehe, Brother Xiaofan, I want to see you too!”
“Then we’ll see each other tomorrow!”
“Mhm!”
“Baby, why did you get up so early today?”
“I didn’t, actually. After I woke up and saw your message, I called you. You didn’t answer, so I figured you were still asleep. I thought you’d call me back once you woke up, so I just stayed in bed waiting for you to return my call!”
“Hehe!”
……
Two hours later, he finally ended the video call with Zhao Lusi.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep talking to her.
He was simply too sleepy.
He had only slept for two hours since last night, and after talking with Zhao Lusi for another two hours, he had nearly fallen asleep several times during the call.
After ending the video call, he put down his phone, closed his eyes, and immediately fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already eleven-thirty in the morning.
He was still somewhat sleepy.
He took out his phone and sent his mother a voice message:
After sending the message, he put down his phone, lay back down, and went straight to sleep again.
There was nothing he could do about it.
He hadn’t gone to bed until four in the morning!
Then he had been woken up by Zhao Lusi and Liu Yifei in the morning.
It would have been strange if he weren’t exhausted.
He had even completely forgotten that last night, Song Qingshu, the CEO of Yinfu Video, had told him that this year’s dividend would be deposited into his account today!
If he remembered that, he would probably have trouble sleeping again.
While he was sleeping soundly, his phone received a message.
However, he was asleep and didn’t notice it.
Meanwhile, after Wang Yifan’s mother received his message, she gave up on waking him for lunch.
She and Wang Yifan’s father once again went to his aunt’s house for a meal.
There was still plenty of food left over from the previous night’s dinner, so his aunt’s family had invited Wang Yifan’s parents over again.
Wang Yifan’s father and Wang Baoshan’s father were biological brothers, so naturally, they couldn’t refuse the invitation.
Although they were brothers, their private relationship wasn’t particularly good.
On the surface, however, they maintained a decent relationship.
After all, they were brothers, and they couldn’t let the villagers see them making a spectacle of themselves.
At Wang Baoshan’s house, Wang Yifan’s mother helped Wang Baoshan’s mother serve food to the villagers.
Everyone sat around the brazier, holding their bowls and chopsticks as they ate lunch.
“Yifan’s mom, why didn’t Yifan come?”
“Baoshan’s mom, that boy is still sleeping. He probably stayed up late last night.”
“I’m telling you, Yifan’s mom, if you keep letting him sleep like this, he’ll only become lazier and lazier. You really need to discipline him more. Look at my Baoshan—he’s so sensible!”
“Ah, there’s nothing we can do. Children have their own ideas. Let’s just eat and not worry about him.”
Wang Yifan’s mother didn’t want to say much to Wang Baoshan’s mother.
The woman was always showing off her son, and Wang Yifan’s mother was getting a little annoyed by it.
Once Wang Yifan woke up in the afternoon, she planned to ask him when Lusi would be coming.
Once Lusi arrived, she would prepare a proper meal and invite everyone over.
Then she could show off a little too!
After all, Lusi was so beautiful.
When Yifan had shown her Lusi’s photos the previous night, she had immediately fallen in love with this future daughter-in-law.
And so, Wang Yifan’s mother ate lunch absent-mindedly.
As soon as lunch was over, she hurried home.
She needed to find out exactly when Lusi was coming so she could invite the villagers over and discuss with Wang Yifan’s father what vegetables and other ingredients they needed to buy.
