Chapter 211 - Craving For Something Sour
historical
Although he knew that the two girls would hit it off once they met, Lu Xun did not expect that it would be this well.
The moment the two recognized each other, they have been catching up about this and that, totally ignoring him at the side.
Looking at this situation, Lu Xun suddenly did not know how he should react.
Once his sister, Lu An Ran started to mention her son, Lu Xun knew that he will have to do something or else, he would be forgotten.
He coughed twice and finally, the two women stopped their chatting and turned to him.
Noticing the dazed look on the two women's expression, Lu Xun did not know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. It seem to him that the two of them had really forgotten his existence!
Very good!
"Brother, I did not know that this is your girlfriend," Lu An Ran said.
.Keeping his calm, Lu Xun shifted his gaze between the two girls and spoke, "You two know each other?"
"Mhm..." Lu An Ran nodded. "During my last visit, I ran into Miss Song a few times with Jia Xuan. Coincidentally, Miss Song was playing the same game as Jia Xuan. We were walking in the park when Jia Xuan heard the music from the game. That was how I met Miss Song. Then, we ran into each other again at your studio. There were a lot of people around and she helped Jia Xuan to find me again."
This was the first time that Lu Xun had heard such a thing. He had always thought that their first meeting would be in the studio. He had never expected that the two of them had met much earlier.
Now that he thought about it, Lu Xun had thought that it was strange how his nephew, Jia Xuan, could warm up to Song Xing Xing during their meeting at the studio. It turned out that his nephew had met with Song Xing Xing much earlier.
Why didn't Jia Xuan said a word about it?
"That's right. Miss Song, you were working for my brother at his studio," Lu An Ran said. She had recalled that the girl had said that she was a staff at the studio. "Is that how you two met?"
Earlier, Lu An Ran was still worrying about her first meeting with her brother's girlfriend. Now that she saw that her brother's girlfriend was someone that she knew, Lu An Ran felt a little at ease.
She had interacted with Song Xing Xing before and thought that she's a good girl.
Lu An Ran thought that based on her impression of this girl during their short meetings, she should not be someone who tried to get close to her brother for a different purpose.
Song Xing Xing glanced at Lu Xun and smiled. "Something like that."
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and soon, the waiter walked in, inquiring whether they were ready to order.
It was at this time that the three of them realized that they were still standing around.
Lu Xun instructed the waiter to come back in five minutes before he led his girlfriend to the round table and pulled the chair for her. The couple sat side by side while Lu An Ran was facing them.
Lu An Ran looked at the couple in front of her and her gaze finally stopped at the girl. "I guess this might be a little unnecessary but let me introduce myself again. Hello, I'm Lu An Ran, Lu Xun's younger sister."
Song Xing Xing flashed an embarrassed smile. "Hello, I'm Song Xing Xing." She turned to her boyfriend and spoke, "I'm your brother's girlfriend."
Lu Xun looked at their interaction and thought that his existence was really unnecessary, They did not even need him to introduce them to each other.
Then, what was the point of him coming over to this restaurant? Should he head back now?
Suddenly, Lu Xun was craving for something sour.
It was only after someone had taken the initiative to hold his hand under the table that his unhappiness slowly disappeared. He reminded the girls that the waiter was still waiting for their food order and the three of them began to look at the menu seriously.
Knowing his girlfriend's preferences, Lu Xun chose a few dishes that she might like and Lu An Ran added some of hers.
Once the waiter had walked out, Lu An Ran turned to her brother's girlfriend again. "Miss Song."
"Just call me Xing Xing."
Lu An Ran smiled. "Xing Xing, I really did not expect that you would be my brother's girlfriend. It is such a small world."
To think that Song Xing Xing had even rejected her brother's advance before.
"That's right, I have almost forgotten." Song Xing Xing pulled out the small paper bag beside her and handed it over to Lu An Ran. "This is a small meeting gift from me. I hope that it will be to your liking."
Lu An Ran gasped. She glanced at her brother and saw that he was clueless that his girlfriend would prepare a meeting gift for her. Lu An Ran looked at Song Xing Xing in embarrassment. "You prepared a gift for me? But what should I do? I did not prepare anything for you." She did not know if it would be appropriate to accept this gift.
Noticing the way her brother was looking at her, Lu An Ran finally accepted the gift. She saw the brand on the mint green paper bag and could roughly guess what was inside.
"Can I take a look?"
Song Xing Xing nodded. "Please go ahead.
Lu An Ran took the silver box out of the bag and opened it. Inside the box, there was a pretty silver bracelet with a cute charm. It was a design that she would definitely wear.
Looking at the bracelet, Lu An Ran could guess that the price should not be that cheap. But it could not be considered too expensive as well.
She did not expect that she would receive a gift at their first meeting. Lu An Ran made a mental note that she should prepare something for Song Xing Xing as well before she return to C Country.
"Thank you. I really like this bracelet," Lu An Ran said as she tried on the bracelet.
Hearing her words, Song Xing Xing heaved a sigh. She had gone to the mall for last-minute shopping and was a little worried that Lu Xun's sister was not going to like it.
Although the two have only met for a while, Song Xing Xing thought that the two should be able to get along just fine.
Lu An Ran turned to her brother and showed off the gift. "Brother, what do you think?"
"Mmm... It looks good on you."
"Right? Brother, your girlfriend has good taste."
Lu Xun chuckled. "Of course. She has me as her boyfriend."
Lu An Ran was still admiring the new bracelet when she heard her brother's narcissistic remark. Suddenly, she had the urge to ignore him throughout their dinner.
