The plane touched down in C Country after hours.
Lu Xun was no longer wearing a mask as not many would be able to recognize him in this country.
After getting their luggage, Song Xing Xing followed Lu Xun to the arrival hall. When they arrived, his sister, Lu An Ran was already waiting for them.
Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the couple walking over. Lu An Ran gave them a quick look over before she pulled Song Xing Xing into a hug.
"How was your flight?" Lu An Ran asked after exchanging their greetings.
"It was nice." Song Xing Xing looked around and did not see the little boy. "Your son didn't come over with you?"
The last time Song Xing Xing had seen Jia Xuan was months ago. She was not dating Lu Xun yet. Song Xing Xing and Jia Xuan shared an interest in 'Legend of the Sky' and get along well.
Now that she was in C Country, Song Xing Xing was looking forward to meeting the boy again. This time, her identity was a little different.
"Jia Xuan still has to go to school," Lu An Ran said. She glanced at her watch and smiled. "He should be at home now. I already told him that his uncle is bringing along his future aunt. Jia Xuan was pretty excited. I'm sure he would be surprised when he saw you later."
Song Xing Xing's cheek turned a little red at the word, 'future aunt'.
"I heard that you have accepted my brother's proposal. Congratulations!" Lu An Ran hugged the girl again.
"Thank you." With Lu An Ran's warm welcome, Song Xing Xing was finally more at ease.
"Did Professor Jia go to pick up Jia Xuan?" Lu Xun asked.
"Un." Lu An Ran nodded. "He's not so busy today so he took a day off. Later, he will bring Jia Xuan straight to our parents' house."
The siblings exchanged a gaze silently. Before Song Xing Xing could notice that something was off, they had quickly looked away.
Lu Xun had a few questions that he wanted to ask his sister. However, this was not the right time.
Lu An Ran waved her hand at the couple. "Come on. Let's go. The driver is waiting outside."
Song Xing Xing nodded. Her heartbeat accelerated and her hand subconsciously tightened around her bag.
As if sensing her anxiousness, Lu An Ran flashed her an assuring smile. She patted at Song Xing Xing's shoulder and said, "Rest assured. Our parents are not strict at all. I'm sure that everything will be fine."
Song Xing Xing and Lu Xun followed Lu An Ran and leave the arrival hall. They entered the MPV and the driver drove off.
On their way, Lu An Ran continued to chat with her brother about some changes in C Country.
Song Xing Xing listened to their conversation and smiled. Lu Xun had always told her stories about his childhood. Song Xing Xing was looking forward to visiting the house he grew up in.
After almost forty-five minutes in the car, the two of them finally arrived at Lu's mansion.
Song Xing Xing alighted from the vehicle, thinking that all she wanted to do right now is to sleep. It has been a while since she had traveled far away and the jetlag was making her a little antsy.
However, the moment she saw the house in front of her, Song Xing Xing quickly forgot about that feeling.
Once she walked past this door, she would meet Lu Xun's parents for the first time. Her anxiousness heightened.
At this time, something warm enveloped both her hands.
"Why is your hand so cold?" Lu Xun frowned as he held her hands. The temperature in C Country is slightly colder. But he did not expect that her hand would be this cold.
"I'm just a little nervous," Song Xing Xing confessed.
Lu Xun stretched his hand to pat her on the head. "Relax. I'm here, aren't I?" Clasping her hand into his, Lu Xun then led her into the house.
As soon as she walked in, a small boy ran over to them with a bright smile on his face. The moment he saw Song Xing Xing, the smile faded and the boy stared back at her with a surprised look on his face.
"Sister!"
Lu An Ran laughed when she heard the way her son was calling her. "Jia Xuan, call her Aunt Xing Xing."
This time, the boy's jaw dropped. He finally saw that his uncle was holding hands with this sister and understood what was going on. "Aunt? This is my aunt?"
Jia Xuan was having a hard time processing this matter. A while ago, this pretty sister was someone who had shown him to play games and had introduced him to his idol, Huo Yun Chen.
Now that this pretty sister was going to marry his uncle, Jia Xuan was shocked!
It was at this time that he seemed to remember that his uncle had asked about this pretty sister previously.
Song Xing Xing smiled upon seeing the way Jia Xuan was looking at her. "Hello, Jia Xuan."
Hearing that she was speaking to him, Jia Xuan finally snapped out of his trance. "Pretty sister. No. Aunt Xing Xing, later let's play games together. Help me to defeat a boss."
Lu An Ran frowned when she heard her son's words. "Jia Xuan, don't you remember that you still have to go to school tomorrow?"
The boy lowered his head at his mother's reminder. He was too excited and had forgotten that he can only play games during the weekend or school holidays.
As Lu An Ran was still reminding her son about his homework, a middle-aged woman walked over into the living room. Her expression brightened the moment she saw the people gathering in the area.
Song Xing Xing looked at the woman and her posture subconsciously straightened. Noticing that the woman's eyes and brow resembled her fiance's, Song Xing Xing quickly guessed that this should be her mother-in-law.
Just then, Lu Xun walked over to the woman and called. "Mom."
"You're back." Zhen Wen Yu smiled. She held her son's hand and patted it softly as she gave him a look over."How was your flight?"
"It's fine." Lu Xun stretched his hand towards Song Xing Xing and pulled her over. "Mom, let me introduce you. This is Song Xing Xing. The person I want to marry."
Her posture froze upon meeting the woman's gaze. Cold sweat ran on her back. Taking a deep breath, Song Xing Xing greeted, "Hello, auntie."
Zhen Wen Yu laughed softly. "Why do you still call me auntie? I already heard that the two of you are planning to get married. Xing Xing... Is it fine if I call you Xing Xing?" Seeing the dazed look on the girl's face, Zhen Wen Yu could not help but smile. "Just call me mom."
