Chapter 74

"Why are you hiding so far away?" Chen Dasheng chuckled and moved closer to Liu Xiaomin.

Liu Xiaomin, looking shy and uneasy, quickly moved to the side, trying to stay as far away from Chen Dasheng as possible.

Chen Dasheng couldn't help but laugh, "The third room on the second floor, your parents are watching!"

Liu Xiaomin had already retreated to the edge of the sofa, with no more room to back away. Hearing Chen Dasheng's words, she turned her head to look upstairs. She saw the door of the third room on the second floor slightly ajar, and her face instantly turned bright red. She felt extremely speechless, wondering how grown-ups could still play such pranks.

---

In the third room on the second floor, a woman stood at the door, peering down into the living room through the narrow gap. If Liu Xiaomin were here, she would surely be embarrassed to the point of stomping her feet, because this woman was her mother.

"Rongfa, come and look, they are getting close!" Yu Shuang's voice was particularly excited as she turned and kept waving to Liu Rongfa, who was behind the desk.

Hearing this, Liu Rongfa immediately put down the documents in his hand and hurriedly walked to the door. Through the gap, he saw that the two people on the sofa were indeed close together, but they were too far away to hear what they were saying.

A smile appeared on Liu Rongfa's lips as he said to Yu Shuang, "I'll call the kitchen to delay the dinner, let them stay together a bit longer."

Yu Shuang turned and gave Liu Rongfa a flirtatious look, "Rongfa, do you think we are being too bad?"

"What do you mean by too bad? Haven't you been thinking about marrying off your daughter for a long time?" Liu Rongfa couldn't help but laugh, "When I first went to your house, your parents did the same thing, didn't they?"

Yu Shuang smiled, "What do you mean by my parents and your parents? They are all your parents, aren't they?"

Liu Rongfa laughed heartily, suddenly realizing that his laughter might be too loud, so he quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "This is a critical moment. Call me when they have further developments."

"What further developments?" Yu Shuang asked.

Liu Rongfa gave Yu Shuang an ambiguous look, "What do you think?"

Yu Shuang was taken aback, then laughed, "You, you are getting more and more naughty as you get older. You are full of mischief, how can you plot against your own daughter like this?"

Liu Rongfa smiled without comment, patted his big belly, and happily walked to the desk to make a phone call.

Chen Dasheng leaned closely to Liu Xiaomin, looking at her flushed face. He felt that this woman, who was a few years older than him and often zapped him with an electric baton, was actually quite cute.

The faint fragrance of her body, like a delicate orchid, filled his nostrils. Chen Dasheng's lips curved into a smile, and he naturally reached out to support the back of the sofa, intending to pull Liu Xiaomin into his arms. However, a burst of laughter from upstairs made his hand retract as if it had been electrocuted, and he sat up straight. Liu Xiaomin also trembled, quietly looking upstairs, thinking her parents had come down.

"Really, how can my parents do this?" Liu Xiaomin couldn't focus on the TV, feeling as if each day was a year, and each minute was like sitting on pins and needles. She was not only cursing Chen Dasheng for his audacity but also hating his unscrupulous parents.

After sitting properly for a while, Chen Dasheng also quietly looked back. Seeing no one coming down from upstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling was really exciting.

"You, can you move a bit to the side? Is your butt that big? I hardly have any room to sit." Feeling Chen Dasheng squeezing her again, Liu Xiaomin finally couldn't hold back and said with a red face.

"Uh!" Chen Dasheng was taken aback, looking at Liu Xiaomin's mature and rosy face, he couldn't help but pat his thigh, "No problem, just come and sit here."

Before he finished speaking, his thigh was pinched by Liu Xiaomin, who was embarrassed and angry. The pain made Chen Dasheng grimace, but he didn't dare to cry out.

"Too harsh, do you want to murder me?" Chen Dasheng rubbed his thigh, his face twisted as he stared at Liu Xiaomin.

Liu Xiaomin glared at Chen Dasheng triumphantly, "See if you dare to talk nonsense again."

Chen Dasheng forced a laugh, "Xiaomin, I have a question for you!"

"What is it?" Liu Xiaomin looked at Chen Dasheng with suspicion, her intuition telling her it wasn't going to be good.

Chen Dasheng looked straight into Liu Xiaomin's eyes, "Can I call you Xiaomin in the future?"

Seeing Chen Dasheng's serious expression, Liu Xiaomin trembled all over and said in a trembling voice, "No, I am your teacher, and you are my student. Students cannot call their teachers by their first names. You must respect your teacher and only call me Teacher Liu."

"Uh!" Chen Dasheng was taken aback, then said, "Come on, we are so close now. Calling you teacher is too formal. How about this, I'll call you Xiaomin when your parents are around, okay, Xiaomin?"

"You..."

Liu Xiaomin was speechless, looking at Chen Dasheng's eyes filled with tenderness, her heart pounded as if a thousand little deer were running around inside.

Her rosy lips tempted Chen Dasheng, and her blooming beauty made him unable to resist. Chen Dasheng felt a bit dazed and couldn't help but lean in to kiss Liu Xiaomin's lips.

A hand on her shoulder, Liu Xiaomin hadn't reacted when she saw Chen Dasheng puckering his lips and slowly moving towards her.

"What is he doing? Is he going to kiss me? This is in the living room, and my parents are watching!"

"Should I avoid it? But why can't I move?"

Liu Xiaomin's mind went blank, and as she saw Chen Dasheng's lips getting closer, she closed her eyes as if resigning herself to her fate.

---

"Rongfa, quickly, quickly, they are kissing, they are kissing!" On the second floor, Yu Shuang was monitoring the living room in real-time, waving to Liu Rongfa with an excited voice.

"Really? How fast?" Liu Rongfa's eyes lit up, and he ran to the door in two steps, hiding behind Yu Shuang and looking through the gap. Indeed, Chen Dasheng was leaning in to kiss Liu Xiaomin.

"Faster, faster!"

Seeing Chen Dasheng's slow movements, Liu Rongfa couldn't help but feel anxious for him, almost wanting to stand up and cheer.

"Father, Mother, I'm back!"

At this moment, a loud voice came from the door, and a carefree figure barged into the living room.

Seeing this figure, Liu Rongfa's face turned green, "This brat, why did he come back now? All for nothing!"

Yu Shuang gave Liu Rongfa a helpless look, "Do you talk about your son like this?"

---

"Uh, Brother Sheng? Why are you here? Did I come back at the wrong time?"

Chen Dasheng turned around and met Liu Hao's eyes. Liu Hao was stunned, looking at Chen Dasheng's hand on his sister's shoulder, he seemed to understand something.

"You came at the right time!"

Seeing it was Liu Hao, Chen Dasheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, replying with a bad temper. That was such a good opportunity, and he was about to kiss her, but this brat ruined it. He suspected the brat had timed it perfectly.

Liu Xiaomin, seeing Liu Hao, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly stood up and sat on another sofa, smoothing her bangs, pretending nothing had happened. However, her heaving chest and the slight flush and panic on her cheeks betrayed her.

Liu Hao forced a laugh, feeling extremely awkward, and immediately said, "Brother Sheng, why don't I go out for a while, and you two continue?"

Chen Dasheng couldn't help but sweat, while Liu Xiaomin fiercely said, "Rat, if you talk nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

"Uh!"

Feeling the killing intent from Liu Xiaomin, Liu Hao shivered. Now he was in a dilemma, neither able to stay nor leave. He quickly rubbed his stomach and changed the subject, "It's already dark, why haven't we eaten yet? I'll go to the kitchen and check!"

Saying this, he tried to slip away.

"All day long, you just mess around outside, never doing anything serious!" At this moment, a steady male voice came from upstairs. Yu Shuang, holding Liu Rongfa's arm, slowly came down the stairs. Liu Rongfa had a stern face, looking at Liu Hao with a frown, as if he had forgotten they were just playing the role of peeping toms.

"Uh, Father, Mother!"

Seeing Liu Rongfa, Liu Hao immediately became obedient, standing still. He wasn't stupid; looking at his father's stern face, he quickly realized that he was being blamed for ruining Chen Dasheng and Liu Xiaomin's moment.

Who could blame him? He just came back at the wrong time. Who knew his sister would bring Chen Dasheng home and be so bold as to show affection in the living room?

"I'm so unlucky!" Liu Hao felt wronged, wanting to slap himself.

Liu Rongfa glanced at Liu Hao, then turned to Chen Dasheng, "Dasheng, it's dinner time. Have dinner, and then you and Xiaomin can chat."

Chen Dasheng looked outside, realizing it was already dark. He quickly stood up and politely said, "I think I'll go home and eat."

"Brother Sheng, my home is your home, why are you so formal?" Liu Hao immediately walked over, enthusiastically pulling Chen Dasheng.

Yu Shuang smiled, "The food is ready. Why go home? As long as you don't mind the simple food!"

Seeing the family's enthusiasm, Chen Dasheng felt a bit embarrassed. After a few polite exchanges, he reluctantly sat down at the table.
