Chapter 1325: Chapter 587: Thankfully, It Was Just a False Alarm

Song Xin waved her hand, motioning everyone to sit down. Her gaze gently swept over them, especially lingering on Lin Li for a good while before she spoke lightly:

"No need to thank me. Over the past six months, whether it was weekends or holidays, whenever Yu Ying went out to play, every time she returned, she was very happy and full of energy. This certainly couldn’t have been achieved without you friends accompanying and taking care of her. So in my eyes, you are just like Yu Ying, part of the family’s younger ones, and this red packet is rightfully yours."

"Aren’t you planning to go out together in a few days? Consider this money as your travel fund, after all, traveling can be quite expensive. Have fun, and just remind Yu Ying to take pictures to share with me."

"That’s right," Chen Zhongping nodded:

"When going out to play, don’t think about saving money, because thinking of saving money usually means less fun.

Food and lodging are the same, especially lodging. When five of you go out, the two boys can room together, that’s definite.

But with three girls, you can’t do 2+1, letting one girl sleep alone! Better spend a bit more, book a room that can accommodate three. Never leave it as 2+1, it’s sad for a friend to feel left out, plus there’s a chance for some opportunist to take advantage, Xiaoding and Xiaoqu, you two must keep an eye on Yingying..."

When the admonition started turning off track, Song Xin already amusedly turned her head, while Chen Yu Ying sighed helplessly.

Here we go again, here we go again.

"Lin Li," Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li, speaking quietly:

"I suspect uncle used to play basketball. He’s quietly advising you and the class monitor not to play basketball.

If you really want to play basketball, he can tolerate it, but not allowed to cross the three-point line during plays.

If you cross it within three minutes, he can still endure it, but no hitting hands.

If you must hit hands, he can endure it, but definitely can’t hit pregnant, don’t give rise to a +1 out of nowhere.

If a +1 truly comes out, he... forget it, Lin Li, this is something uncle truly can’t tolerate, take care."

Lin Li: "O.o?"

Maybe this is what makes Sister Li a top translator and enterprise-grade specialist.

Though Bai Bufan’s words were a bit crude, Lin Li felt Middle Man’s words might mean something like this.

"Okay, okay, on high alert every day as if guarding against theft, isn’t it inevitable that boys from other houses would yell this at you someday? Look at your reaction just now."

Seeing her husband still rambling and her daughter’s face growing increasingly annoyed, Song Xin cut in.

Chen Zhongping was first stunned after his wife interrupted him, then stubbornly replied:

"Someday, someday, the key in that word is ’day’; now there’s only pure ’early’. Yu Ying is just in high school, I’m saying academics should be prioritized. If anything happens, it should at least wait until after college graduation, right?"

Song Xin heard this, looked at Chen Yu Ying, then glanced at Lin Li.

"Even if Yu Ying has a relationship during high school, she would surely stick to proper boundaries, and none of the things you’re worried about would happen,"

After telling Lin Li this, Song Xin looked back at Chen Zhongping, continuing to tease her husband with a clear smile:

"But with your attitude, I’d bet that even if Yu Ying brought someone home properly after graduating college, you would still have a sour expression, brainstorming ways to trouble the person, wouldn’t you?"

"Don’t let it be such that when Yu Ying brings someone home, they remind you, ’Uncle, do you remember what you said many years ago? Now the time has come, can you agree? Surely you won’t obstruct now,’ and you’re like, ’What agreement? What I said many years ago, go find my past self now, why talk to my current self, I don’t understand this’?"

Chen Zhongping coughed twice.

He didn’t deny it.

Truly felt like something he would do... wait!

Why would that boy directly know what he said ’many years ago’?

Doesn’t that prove the guy was present all along!!!

Lin Li!

Chen Zhongping: "Stare——"

Lin Li: "?"

Why suddenly stare at him?

At the moment, Lin Li was so puzzled by the glaring that he even considered opening "Proof of Telepathy" to listen to what Middle Man was thinking.

However, considering that once opened, he might be insulted deeply in Middle Man’s mind without being able to react, he decided against it.

"Those matters will be discussed when the time comes; this stuff shouldn’t be handled carelessly, right?"

Seeing Lin Li’s "evasive" gaze, Chen Zhongping said somewhat through gritted teeth.

"Uncle, I’m really curious," Ding Sihan spoke at this moment, "what kind of requests will you make? How much will you ask for the bride price?"

Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan.

It was hard to tell whether Ding Sihan was helping him gather more information or simply enjoying the drama without stirring up anything.

Hmm, the likelihood of the former is 1%, the latter should be 99%.

"Bride price?" Chen Zhongping, hearing this, suddenly didn’t stay seated on the couch but went to stand behind the sofa where Lin Li and Bai Bufan were sitting, propping his hands on the sofa backrest, slightly leaning forward, with a mixture of understanding and scheming expression, eyes sweeping over Lin Li and Bai Bufan’s faces.

His words paused momentarily, chuckled, and shook his head, directing a gentle gaze toward Lin Li and Bai Bufan—particularly Lin Li:

"As males, given the current public discourse, both of you might view bride price as something negative, probably not positively, right?

I understand this. Young people should have free love; feelings matter most. If a good relationship ends just because the man can’t afford a bride price, that would be inappropriate and make the parents seem unreasonable."
