Chapter 143 Master Xie's Guidance
Just then, Jintao finally noticed that something was wrong with Xiaoshun and quickly ran to his side: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"He's fine, he just choked on the candy."
Lu Yining had already circled around behind Xiao Shun, grabbed Xiao Shun's shoulder with one hand, and punched him hard in the back with the other.
After Lu Yining punched him four times.
"pat-"
The sound was exceptionally clear.
Looking towards the source of the sound, a watermelon-shaped hard candy was lying on the ground.
Because it was swallowed and fell to the ground, the watermelon-shaped hard candy was broken at the edges and no longer intact.
But judging from its size and hardness, Jintao knew that if Lu Yining hadn't reacted quickly and rescued him, Xiaoshun might have really lost his life.
"Thank you, Empress Ningning."
After thanking him, Jintao turned his gaze back to Xiaoshun, gently patting his back lightly: "How are you? Are you feeling better? Is there anything else?"
Because he had just choked, Xiao Shun was still a little tongue-tied. He didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to tell Jin Tao that he was fine.
After a while, he stood up and looked at Lu Yining sincerely.
"Thank you for saving me."
“No need,” Lu Yining said. “After all, you are the future bud of our motherland, it is only right to save you.”
"My goodness! Xiao Shun!" Jin Tao suddenly remembered what Lu Yining had said not long ago, "Your bad luck has happened again!"
No sooner had Jintao finished speaking than a muffled sound echoed in the space.
"Boom-"
"Master, please advise me, who is my destined partner...?"
"It's hard to say, you'll have to experience it and find out for yourself. But I can tell you that although your true love isn't Sister Manrong, that person is very close to her. And... you'll meet her very soon."
"How will I feel when I meet her? Will God give me some hints and tell me who my true love is?"
Xiao Shun, unashamed to ask questions, blinked at Lu Yining. At that moment, his eyes were as humble as could be, just like a student waiting for the teacher to solve a problem.
Lu Yining gave him a meaningful look: "Your heart will be pounding, pounding wildly."
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Xiao Shun stood up gracefully. Compared to the impetuous Xiao Shun from not long ago, the Xiao Shun at this moment was clearly more pleasing to her.
Lu Yining kindly gave him another piece of advice: "It wouldn't hurt to tell you more. She's about your age, so you two have a lot in common."
Xiao Shun nodded in agreement. It's good to have common topics. After all, dating is something you should do seriously, with the intention of spending your whole life together. If two people have common ground, they won't be silent or have nothing to say to each other in the future.
When Lu Yunchen and Li Manrong returned home, they vaguely sensed that the atmosphere at home had changed, becoming... much more docile and peaceful.
Among them, Lu Yunchen sensed this emotion most strongly. After all, before they left, that kid had been glaring at him the whole time. When they returned, the kid acted as if nothing had happened, and the way he looked at him had changed. The hostility in his eyes had suddenly diminished. He was very curious about what had happened at home while they were away.
His gaze inadvertently swept towards the sofa, landing precisely on Lu Yining's signature. Lu Yunchen's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Lu Yining in surprise. "You conquered these two boys with your charm?"
Even though Lu Yunchen didn't say anything, Lu Yining miraculously understood the meaning expressed in his eyes.
Perhaps... this is the tacit understanding that only siblings can have.
However… Lu Yining shook her head almost imperceptibly, no.
She glanced at Jintao; he was indeed captivated by my charm. But then Lu Yining looked at Xiaoshun; he was captivated by my strength.
I'm very strong!
Lu Yunchen gave Lu Yining a thumbs-up as a gesture of respect, and seeing Li Manrong walk towards the kitchen, he naturally followed. The two chatted in the kitchen, their laughter, sometimes loud and sometimes soft, occasionally breaking the silence.
Jintao had no reaction to this. In his opinion, the man inside was Empress Ningning's older brother, so he must be an excellent, trustworthy, and responsible man. His cousin had suffered for so long, and now that she had such a man to love her, he was very relieved.
Xiao Shun, on the other hand, seemed like a completely different person. Although a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes when he saw Lu Yunchen and Li Manrong go into the kitchen together, he didn't say anything or go in to disturb them.
If it's not a destined connection, then it means he and Sister Rong won't have a good future. Therefore, in order not to affect Sister Rong's mindset, and also to avoid becoming too attached to that warmth, he needs to begin restraining some of his feelings from this moment on.
While Xiao Shun was lost in thought, the phone suddenly rang on the table near the kitchen. Seeing that Li Manrong was busy, Jin Tao got up and went to answer the phone, talking to the person on the other end for only a few dozen seconds.
After hanging up the phone, he called out towards the kitchen, "Cousin, I'm going downstairs to pick up Jin'an."
Upon hearing this, Li Manrong looked out of the kitchen, glanced at Jintao, and smiled gently: "Jin'an is here? Go and bring her up."
"Yes."
After responding, Jintao headed towards the main gate.
A short while later, he brought up a man with short, choppy hair, dressed in a cool and stylish all-black outfit, and his demeanor was incredibly cool.
Xiao Shun remembered that not long ago Jin Tao said he was going down to pick up Jin An. He looked the person following behind Jin Tao up and down and asked, "Is this Jin An?"
“Yes.” Jin’an nodded, looked at Xiao Shun, and smiled. The smile seemed to melt away some of the frost on her body. “I am Jin’an.”
"Thump, thump, thump—"
How to do?
Why did he suddenly feel his heart beating so fast?
Xiao Shun stared blankly at Jin An, completely absorbed in the moment.
What... what's going on?
Why would his heart race when he saw a man? Perhaps it was a sudden inspiration, but he suddenly remembered what Lu Yining had said to him not long ago.
It matches!
They all match!
My heart is racing!
My heart is pounding!
And...and age!
Xiao Shun seemed somewhat incredulous, yet also as if he dared not face it. After a moment's hesitation, he looked at Jin An and asked, "How old are you this year?"
Jin'an frowned, somewhat puzzled and annoyed by Xiao Shun's question, but then she thought that this person seemed to be her brother's classmate, and it wouldn't be good if she didn't give him face.
