My Life with Narration-Chapter 207 - 206: An Unexpected Home Visit

In most families, is a university entrance celebration really for the kids? Wishful thinking, it's just an excuse for parents and relatives to exchange pleasantries.

If it were truly for happiness, a simple family meal would suffice. Why go all out with a big banquet? These exchanges are primarily about the gifts.

Wang Xing's family is no exception. It's not that the Su couple is being materialistic; it's just that over the years, they've given out so many gifts. If everyone else is hosting and you're not, then you're at a loss.

Some families hold a celebration even if the kid just gets into a vocational college, just to recoup those gifts.

In today's society, what is a vocational college? To be blunt, if you attend high school, you can almost certainly get into one, so there's not much value in it anymore.

Back then when Su Qing got into a second-tier local university, Old Su felt it was a bit shameful and didn't hold a celebration, which got him some complaints from Mom Zhou Hui for quite a while.

Now there's finally someone in the family who makes them proud, getting into a first-tier university in the capital, definitely worth throwing a celebration.

Obviously, the young Su He hasn't grasped the nuances, still thinking that getting into university means owning the world.

Little does she know, while parents are happy about their child getting into college, it doesn't stop them from wanting to get back all the money they've given out.

She was set aside by her parents who were busy spreading the news, mainly to coworkers and friends, whereas few relatives were involved.

The celebration is mostly about parental colleagues, friends, and close nearby relatives.

It's not like weddings or funerals where everyone is informed on a large scale.

Simply put, a university entrance celebration is a veiled form of social gifting among parents.

Su Qing received the news the next day. Su He sent him a message, happy and seeking comfort from him.

However, he was napping at work at the time, too busy to bother with her.

Since Wang Xing moved out yesterday, Shen Yi naturally returned to her usual habits. By the time he got home, she had been lounging barefoot on the sofa for half a day, soaking her feet and applying a face mask, enjoying herself until she went next door to sleep at midnight.

Because of this, he began feeling sleep-deprived again and took the opportunity to nap at work.

While others might do nothing more than take a paid bathroom break, he took paid naps.

With the help of Da Huang working hard, it seemed he only came out for lunch and to clock in for work, living an utterly carefree life.

At 5:30 PM, Shen Yi drove Su Qing and Da Huang back to the neighborhood.

"Su He got accepted into Capital Finance University, that's great news!" Shen Yi laughed.

Su Qing shook his head with a smile, "That girl, hurry and get the semester started. She's been a pain this whole summer for two months. I wonder how her driver's license test is going."

As they talked, the two got on the elevator and went upstairs.

"You'll stop complaining soon. Once she heads to the capital for school, you won't see her much throughout the year," Shen Yi rolled her eyes at him.

Regarding his and Su He's issues, Shen Yi always said he didn't act like an older brother, but Su Qing never argued.

Ever since Su He became sensible, the siblings have been at each other's throats, taking any chance to mess with each other. The key point was, Su He sided with Li Zijun, becoming her little follower, often relying on her to beat him up.

In recent years, she's been into Lin's literature, and her pretentiousness made his teeth itch.

"I couldn't be happier, just stay far from me!"

Ding dong

As they spoke, the elevator doors opened, and Shen Yi naturally walked straight toward his apartment, with no intention of returning to her place.

It was as though her place was just for sleeping at night, and she preferred staying in Su Qing's not-so-big single room during the day.

[Su the drama queen is here to cause trouble again]

Hearing this, Su Qing paused with his hand on the door lock. In the next second, the door opened from inside, and a figure rushed out and lunged at him.

"Big brother~~ you're back!"

Seeing this, the prepared Su Qing was not surprised; he raised a hand, pressed her forehead, and pushed down, then, with a circular motion of his arm, used a tai chi move to redirect her head's direction and pushed her away, finally lifting a foot to kick Su He on the buttocks:

"Off you go!!!"

Shen Yi:...

What a fluid combo! It showed how much the siblings loved each other.

With a yelp, Su He got kicked and turned around with tears in her eyes:

"Brother, do you really not like me? Fine, I get it, now that you have another sister in your heart, you've forgotten the good in your little sister. The more I speak, the more annoyed you'll get, leaving is my only option!"

With that, she started to leave, while Su Qing remained unmoved, as if she wasn't there, heading straight to the fridge to find a cold drink to cool down.

Noticing this, Su He rolled her eyes, grabbing Shen Yi's hand: "Sister-in-law, look at my brother, can't you do something? All he knows is bullying."

Shen Yi: (￣ー￣)

She was starting to figure out the sibling dynamic. While it seemed Su Qing never let his sister win, neither of the siblings ever let the other win.

Not seeing any effect from her acting cute, Su He immediately changed tactics and began to complain.

Now at home, Su Qing was already standing up, and complaining was no longer effective. She saw this very clearly. Since it was like this, she switched targets, and it was clear that Shen Yi was the best choice.

"Alright, I heard from your brother that you got accepted to Capital Finance University?" Shen Yi asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Su He immediately beamed with her little baby face, "You already know, sister-in-law, haha!"

"Not bad, you've got a bright future! Let's find some time to take you out for a nice meal to celebrate," Shen Yi laughed.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

When it came to Su He's way of addressing her, Shen Yi gave up on correcting it. Sometimes, it's better to be a bit confused.

"What did Mom and Dad say?" Su Qing handed a bottle of cold drink to Shen Yi while turning to Su He and asked.

"They said there's going to be a graduation banquet this Sunday."

"Ha, in such a hurry, well, I'm not going back this week!"

"Brother~~ don't you have something to say? I'm your most adorable sister, you know!"

In response, Su Qing gave her a sideways glance, "Stop it, you want me, your brother, to chip in for your graduation banquet? Besides, your current phone is still one I bought for you. What more do you want?"

Su He looked at the latest iPhone model she was holding, feeling a bit embarrassed, but thinking her brother made hundreds of thousands now, it felt unfair not to squeeze a bit out of him.

"Brother, look at me, I'm still wearing last year's clothes. I have my eye on a dress, so how about brother you..."

"Stop" Su Qing quickly raised his hand and began to scrutinize his sister, suspiciously asking, "You wouldn't be a 'green tea' girl, would you?"

He's seen this trick before, a standard move from Wang Xing's ex-girlfriend, but he, as the brother, is real.

"No worries, how about sister taking you shopping?" Shen Yi said from the side.

"That's not good!" Su He glanced at Su Qing, somewhat uneasy.

Don't be fooled, while she demanded things from her brother as a matter of course, she still had a sense of shame with outsiders.

"No problem, it'll come out of your brother's salary!"

"Alright!"

Su Qing:...

He wasn't sure how much of his salary would be left after giving some as gifts to the female employees in the company, especially considering it included Balenciaga.

"What was Mom's reaction to my blind date?" Su Qing asked.

Upon hearing this, Su He covered her mouth and giggled, "Brother, you're in trouble. Mom was very angry about this, though it's understandable. She's been frantically searching for your next blind date. Sister-in-law, when are you going home with my brother?"

As she spoke, Su He cautiously glanced at Shen Yi and then asked.

Some words spoken by Su He as the younger sister wouldn't be taken seriously by anyone, not even by Shen Yi, who would feel embarrassed.

Change the person, like the landlady saying such things in front of Su Qing, she couldn't stand it.

"Stop spouting nonsense, or I'll tear that mouth of yours!" Su Qing glared and threatened.

Seeing this, Su He quickly shrank behind Shen Yi and made a face.

Instead, Shen Yi became interested, walked over to the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs, lazily leaning back and said:

"What, am I not good enough?"

"Don't worry, sister doesn't need a dowry of 660,000, sister doesn't lack that money, but the five essentials must be there, car and house are self-prepared, how's that?"

Upon hearing this, before Su Qing could speak, Su He widened her eyes immediately, "Really? I'll call my mom right now!"

Su Qing:...

Shen Yi:...

These words were spoken many times between the two, and no one took it seriously, but they didn't expect there was someone present who didn't understand what a joke was.

Just then, Su Qing's phone rang, it was a call from Mom, Zhou Hui.

"Son, where are you, come home quickly, hurry up!"

[Still remember your hometown? There are only two types of people in your hometown, the first, those with a formal job, the second, useless ones. Your special job offer has been finalized, another life-changing opportunity is in front of you, please be careful!]

Hearing this, Su Qing was dumbfounded, weren't they going to give me a special appointment? Visiting my home is no big deal.

This was a sneak attack!
