Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 406 - 404: Xue Yang, You Lied to Me~

Despite feeling tired, Lin Xi still wanted to know what impression she had made on Xue Yang’s family. If there were any areas where she hadn’t done well, she could correct them right away.

Xue Yang sat on the sofa, leaning back comfortably. "Hmm, not bad. It’s just, I had no idea you bought so many things."

What surprised him most was how prepared his Xiao Naimao had been. No wonder the flight attendants had given him such a strange look when they saw him carrying so many bags.

Lin Xi said, a bit sheepishly, "Didn’t I ask you how many people were in your family the other day? I thought you would’ve guessed."

"I thought you just wanted to know who would be there beforehand. I didn’t expect you to buy gifts."

"Aiyah, it’s just that... I was worried. Are you mad?" Lin Xi wrapped her arms around Xue Yang’s, shaking his arm gently. She resembled a newborn puppy begging its owner for forgiveness.

"No, you did great today. I think the news that my family has a beautiful and wonderful new daughter-in-law will spread from one end of the village to the other in less than two hours."

Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?" She had only bought some gifts. Wasn’t it standard to bring presents on a first visit?

"It’s not that much of an exaggeration."

Lin Xi let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t too exaggerated, it would be fine.

Then, she heard Xue Yang say, "It’s going to be *more* exaggerated."

"Ah~" she exclaimed. She hadn’t expected that one unintentional act would make her famous throughout the entire village.

Seeing Xiao Naimao’s incredulous expression, Xue Yang found her incredibly adorable. He pinched her soft, bouncy cheek. "It’s too late for regrets now."

"Will this cause any trouble for your parents?"

"It probably will."

Lin Xi’s face fell instantly. "I really didn’t expect it to turn out like this."

Xue Yang continued, "Well, it saves them the trouble of boasting themselves, so they might feel a little psychological letdown, but the overall impact isn’t huge."

Lin Xi finally realized that Xue Yang was deliberately teasing her.

"You lied to me."

"I did not."

"You’re still denying it!"

Lin Xi grabbed Xue Yang’s arm and bit down. Xue Yang, taken aback for a moment, hadn’t expected his Xiao Naimao to dare bite him in his own home.

Just then, Xue Yuanqing and Zhong Hailan finished their work and came into the living room to relax. When they saw the scene, all four of them froze. Lin Xi’s face instantly turned beet-red. She had completely forgotten she was at Xue Yang’s home.

It’s over, it’s over! The first time I visit my boyfriend’s family, and my future in-laws see me bullying their son. They’ll definitely refuse to let me marry into the family, won’t they?

Xue Yang hadn’t expected his parents to come out at that exact moment either. He touched his nose, about to speak, but Xue Yuanqing spoke first.

"That... There seemed to be a discrepancy in the numbers. I’ll go check with my second brother again."

"I’ll put the leftovers in the fridge so they don’t spoil," Zhong Hailan added quickly.

Xue Yuanqing and Zhong Hailan each found an excuse and made their escape. Seeing them so obviously fleeing the scene, Lin Xi covered her face. "Xue Yang, this is all your fault! I can’t show my face anymore."

Xue Yang stretched out his arm, revealing a large bite mark still glistening.

The sight made Lin Xi want to find a hole to crawl into and hide.

"Put it away!"

"You’ve got quite the bite. Looks like my mom’s chicken legs weren’t wasted on you."

Is this really about the chicken legs? What should I do? I feel like biting him again... But...

WHIMPER. Will Auntie not like me anymore?

Lin Xi’s eyes reddened.

Seeing this, Xue Yang finally let her off the hook and comforted her. "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. My parents won’t mind little things like this."

"Really?"

"If they minded, would they have made up excuses to leave? I bet they’re hiding somewhere right now, laughing at me."

Lin Xi imagined his parents hiding in a corner, laughing at Xue Yang, and a snort of laughter escaped her. That scene would be hilarious.

However, after this little episode, Lin Xi had a much better understanding of what Xue Yang’s parents were like. They certainly weren’t the difficult in-laws you read about online. On the contrary, being with them seemed like it would be very easy and comfortable.

Seeing Lin Xi laugh, Xue Yang knew she understood. This girl, so carefully trying to please every member of my family... She must be terrified of not being accepted, right?

"You need to remember this: when you’re at my house, just be yourself. There’s no need to deliberately please anyone. And rest assured, if anyone dares to bully you, my parents will be the first to object."

Lin Xi hugged Xue Yang’s arm, finally understanding his kind intentions. "I get it now. But even knowing that, I’ll still do it. Because they’re your family, and your family is my family. I should earn their acceptance first so you won’t be caught in the middle."

Xue Yang gently stroked Xiao Naimao’s soft head, a slight smile gracing his lips. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

"Come on, I’ll take you upstairs. That’s my territory. You can do whatever you want there."

Lin Xi’s eyes curved into a smile. "Really? Anything?"

"Don’t let your imagination run wild. Otherwise, I’ll punish you by making you sleep alone tonight."

Lin Xi stuck out her tongue. She wasn’t afraid at all. Anyway, I can just sneak over in the middle of the night.

Xue Yang knew her little schemes all too well. He just chose not to expose her.

"It’s beautiful," Lin Xi said, looking around the room. "Even prettier than in the videos."

"Seeing how much you like it will make Mrs. Zhong very happy."

Auntie has been so good to me. I’ll definitely repay her kindness. Lin Xi thought to herself.

In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere on Xue Yang’s side, the situation with Si Wen and Xue Xing was much worse.

"I already played a game with you and even lost. Why won’t you let me go home?" Xue Xing pleaded.

"You call that playing a game with me? You were obviously letting me win! You went so easy on me you could’ve filled the Pacific Ocean."

Throughout the entire game, Xue Xing just stood in front of Si Wen, letting her kill him. After respawning, he’d run right back to her, urging her to attack him again. If she wouldn’t, he’d pester her to push the enemy’s crystal. In short, he was determined to lose, because if he lost, he could go home to see his brother and sister-in-law.

This was something the highly competitive Si Wen could not accept. But when she tried to get him to play a proper, serious match, he refused no matter what. After attracting such a female tyrant in a single game, Xue Xing swore off gaming for good.

Real life is much better.

"You..." Si Wen started, but seeing that Xue Xing was impervious to reason, her eyes reddened. She pointed at him, unable to speak for a moment.

Why did I come all this way? Was it really just to challenge him to a match?

"Hey, don’t cry! Okay, okay, I’ll play with you properly, alright?" Xue Xing panicked when he saw her tears.

"You’re bullying me! WAH!"

"I... I didn’t do anything! You’re the one who..."

"WAAAAH!"

Si Wen cried even louder.

"Okay, okay, I was bullying you. It was me. Just please stop crying."
