An Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "But I'm very thirsty now."

Wei Zihang: "..."

An Yu instructed him, "When we came here, there was a convenience store by the roadside. Go and buy me some milk."

Wei Zihang scratched his hair. "Sure, you're my ancestor."

After saying that, he picked up his wallet and walked out. He didn't forget to remind the two of them, "Don't run around. Stay here and wait for me to come back."

After Wei Zihang left, only An Yu and Lu Bei were left in the booth. An Yu wanted to confess her mistake to Lu Bei, but she was worried that Lu Bei would hate her and say that she was meddling in other people's business.

For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

Lu Bei gulped down glass after glass of wine. He was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice that An Yu was not her usual self.

An Yu did not want to waste any more time. She mustered up her courage and asked Lu Bei, "Lu Bei, is your stepmother treating you well?"

One sentence was enough to pull Lu Bei back to reality. His drinking was pointless, his chaotic mind instantly cleared up. However, he did not know how to answer this question.

Was she good? It could not be said that she was good or bad. In Lu Bei's eyes, he and his stepmother were like roommates who lived in the same house. Although he would see her every day, they did not have much interaction.

An Yu saw his silence and instantly felt her heart ache, "Actually, there's something wrong with my question. No matter how good your stepmother is to you, it won't have much of an impact. You see, we'll be in university in another year. We won't see our family much. When we work, we won't live at home, and we'll see them even less often."

She and Lu Bei had maintained their friendship for many years. In An Yu's heart, she and Lu Bei were only one step away from revealing their true feelings. After all, they were still young and should put their studies first. After graduation, she and Lu Bei would naturally be together. They would fall in love, work, get married, and have children together.

Therefore, she said 'we'. We would not live at home because at that time, we would have our own small family. She wanted to comfort Lu Bei and not care too much about his father who had been snatched away by his stepmother. Everyone had their own life and it was impossible for his parents to always be by his side.

"In the future, we will have our own family and our own child. We will educate our child well and give him the best life possible. We will be by his side and grow up with him."

Hearing An Yu's words, Lu Bwas a little lost in thought... he would have his own family...his own child... he would also become a father?

He was only sixteen years old, and it seemed like this was the first time he had thought about being a father. If he became the father of his child, what would it be like? Could he guarantee that he would do better than his father?

Lu Bei realized that although he felt that his father was an unqualified father, he did not dare to guarantee that he would do better than his father.

...

On the other side of the car, Xiang Xiaoyuan was fidgeting in the passenger seat.

She did not like the silent and awkward atmosphere, but Lu Wanggui was a man of few words. There was no music in the car, only the sound of raindrops hitting the car and the sound of their silent breathing.

Five minutes later, Xiang Xiaoyuan could not take it anymore. She looked out of the window and pretended to say casually, "Why did it suddenly rain? The weather forecast clearly said that it would be sunny today."

Her current status should have been less talkative. The ancient people said that the more one speaks, the more mistakes one makes. Perhaps if she said something wrong, Lu Wanggui would find out that she was different and not the same Xiang Xiaoyuan from before.

However, Xiang Xiaoyuan was a risk-taker by nature. She couldn't shut up just because she was afraid of being discovered. She couldn't pretend to be a mute for the rest of her life. Of course, what gave her the courage to speak was Lu Wanggui's attitude. Today, no matter what she said or did, Lu Wanggui seemed to be used to it. He didn't have any intention of testing her.

In this way, when Xiang Xiaoyuan interacted with him, she would become more and more daring. She would try her best to find the limits of Lu Wanggui's acceptance. It was also a skill to explore the limits of others' tolerance and expand one's own range of activities.

"The weather forecast is just a prediction, not a 100% certainty," Lu Wanggui said faintly.

Before today, Lu Wanggui rarely listened to Xiang Xiaoyuan's words, but today, her voice had been surrounding him the entire day. Lu Wanggui was a man who observed minute details, so how could he not notice Xiang Xiaoyuan's abnormality? However, he had experienced too many things, so his mind was calm. Even if he was puzzled, he would suppress it in the bottom of his heart and not show it.

"Fortunately, you came back early."

Xiang Xiaoyuan patted her chest. "Otherwise, if we were caught in this heavy rain, the plane might not be able to depart." After saying that, she turned her head to look at him. Most people hated flight delays, many people even prayed before they took the plane. What about Lu Wanggui? With his personality, what would he do if the plane was delayed? Would he also be anxious or would he just calmly take out his phone and look at his documents?
