Chapter 103: Kicking Open the Closet Door

After returning from Nan City, Yu Zhanrong’s family began preparing to leave for the New Year. Yu Sheng, for some reason, seemed to have been stimulated this year, insisting on taking the whole family on a trip for the holiday. He arranged all the itineraries for a total of 15 days, which shocked Yu Zhanrong when he heard the news.

This was the first time Old Yu had given himself such a long vacation to spend time with the family. According to Ms. Zhan, it was a rare moment of conscience for Old Yu Comrade, worthy of praise.

The day before departure, Yu Zhanrong spent almost the entire day being lovey-dovey with Song Baiyan in his apartment, only reluctantly returning home in the evening.

The young couple hadn’t been together long, and their feelings were intense. Suddenly having to separate for so long made Yu Zhanrong quite reluctant. Regardless of whether Song Baiyan was busy, he kept sending him messages to bother him.

[Yu.: Senior, are you awake?]

[Yu.: Senior, I’m leaving.]

[Yu.: The airport is so crowded.]

[Yu.: Tsk tsk, the first class cabin on the plane is basically contracted by my family, almost 20 people [Scared]]

“Rongrong, stop playing on your phone. Your sister Leyan is talking to you,” Zhan Yue said, tugging at Yu Zhanrong, who was practically buried in his phone.

Yu Zhanrong heard this and looked at Zhan Leyan, who didn’t speak immediately. She carefully examined the corners of Yu Zhanrong’s lips, which he hadn’t had time to suppress, and the dimple on his face, and confidently said, “You’re in love.”

As soon as she said this, Yu Zhanrong felt as if the cabin shook. More than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to look at him.

The first to react were the four elders, their eyes brighter than light bulbs, and their voices were all quite loud.

“Huh? When did Rongrong fall in love?”

“Who’s the partner? Are they pretty?”

“Our Rongrong has grown up and doesn’t want to be close to grandma anymore. He has his own secrets now.”

Young and old all joined in the fun. Yu Zhanrong felt like he had stirred up a hornet’s nest, with buzzing sounds constantly in his ears. His cousin, realizing she had caused trouble, quietly hid back.

Yu Zhanrong then looked at his parents, who looked left and right but refused to look at him, as if to say, “Deal with your own problems.”

So he laid it all out: “I am indeed in love. It hasn’t been long. The partner is also from Hua City and looks…” Yu Zhanrong hesitated for a moment, then touched his nose and said, “Very good-looking.”

The elders listened with great satisfaction, their faces immediately breaking into a pile of wrinkles. “Good, good. Bring them over to let us see them when you have time.”

Yu Zhanrong agreed.

Grandma, who was sitting in the seat in front of Yu Zhanrong, asked curiously, “How old is your partner?”

Yu Zhanrong paused and said, “Three years older than me.”

“A woman three years older is like holding a golden brick.”

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, while Yu’s parents had already lowered their heads.

“And their height? How tall are they?”

Yu’s parents silently covered their faces, only to hear Yu Zhanrong say calmly, “Height? One meter ninety-one.”

The first class cabin seemed to have been muted.

There was silence for about ten seconds.

Yu Zhanrong grinned and smiled: “Huh? Why is no one talking? Are you not satisfied?”

Grandpa, after all, had seen the world. Hearing Yu Zhanrong’s words, he regained his senses and asked, “Is it a man?”

Yu Zhanrong immediately showed an approving look: “Grandpa, you’re amazing. You guessed it.”

Yu Sheng really wanted to remind his son that the four elders were old and to consider their health, but looking at the way things were developing, it seemed that the elders were accepting it faster than him. He was just about to ask the old man when someone else beat him to it.

Uncle’s eyes were almost popping out as he looked at the old man: “Dad, don’t you find it strange?”

The old man glanced at him with disdain: “Are you an old fogey? What’s so strange about it? As long as young people can live a good life together, that’s all that matters. I think you’re the strange one!”

Old fogey Uncle: “This…”

He had originally thought about coming out to mediate, but who knew this would be the result.

Zhan Leyan was also shocked. She had thought there would be a big family war, that her cousin’s sudden coming out would be a big deal. She had even planned to leak some gossip of her own to attract the flames of war, but the fire didn’t even start.

She whispered to Yu Zhanrong: “How are you so brave? Saying what you said, just like that?”

“What else?” Yu Zhanrong hugged his phone and didn’t even look up: “I didn’t plan to hide it anyway. Since they asked, I’ll just tell the truth.” Besides, her senior brother is presentable at any time.

“Aren’t you afraid their hearts can’t take it?”

Yu Zhanrong’s hand, which was sending a message, stopped, and he turned to look at her: “Sister, you wouldn’t also…”

Zhan Leyan quickly waved her hand: “No, no.”

Yu Zhanrong looked at her suspiciously, then looked at the relatives around him, and swallowed back the question he was about to ask.

“Don’t underestimate them. Old people nowadays are much more fun than we are. The last time I went to see Grandpa, he was playing werewolf games with others, and he was very good at it.”

“And Grandma too, she even ships CPs. Maybe they know more than we do.”

Zhan Leyan: “…”

The rich life of the elderly these days is something she doesn’t understand.

*

[Yu.: Sister Yan, are you dating a girlfriend?]

[Yan: No!!]

[Yu.: …Is your boyfriend younger than me?]

[Yan: You’re good at guessing, but don’t guess randomly!]

Yu Zhanrong raised his eyes from the screen and looked at Zhan Leyan, then asked, [Is he much older?]

Zhan Leyan was helpless.

[Yan: About the same age as your uncle…]

Yu Zhanrong turned his head abruptly to look at his uncle leaning against the window.

“What?”

Yu Zhanrong: “Uncle, how old are you?”

Uncle tightened his coat, looking wary: “What are you doing? I’m your uncle!”

The whole family looked over. Yu Zhanrong said speechlessly: “What are you thinking? I’m asking how old you are.”

He glanced at him with great disdain: “My senior brother is much better than you!”

“Lifting one up and stepping on another, that’s not good. 35 years old, what’s wrong? Are you trying to set me up on a blind date?”

“Dream on!”

Zhan Leyan listened to the conversation with trepidation. Little cousin, please don’t leak it out for me.

Fortunately, Yu Zhanrong brought it back around: “Just asking casually.”

Zhan Leyan breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn’t planning to come clean to her family yet.

A 13-year age gap wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either.
