After everyone finished eating, Ye Fan was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
At this moment, the phone started ringing.
He took a glance and saw that it was a call from Zhao Xiaotian.
As soon as Ye Fan answered the phone, he heard Zhao Xiaotianâs laughter on the other end.
Ye Fan was completely baffled.
What the heck, did he call just to make me listen to his laughter?
Which screw is loose in his head?
âAre you done laughing yet? Otherwise, you keep laughing; Iâll hang up first!â Ye Fan said into the phone.
âNo, no, Brother Fan, I have some great news for you, really, itâs a hugely fantastic piece of news!â Zhao Xiaotian said excitedly; you could tell just from his voice how thrilled he was!
Ye Fan was truly annoyed.
What sort of news has him this happy?
Why is this guy calling me Brother Fan again?
Could it be that he has won the lottery?
âWhat great news? Could it be that youâve won the lottery?â Ye Fan said.
Is this guy really so excited about something?
âAlmost, Brother Fan, itâs almost like winning the lottery, but even better!â Over the phone, Zhao Xiaotian could hardly contain his excitement.
Ye Fan was helpless.
What exactly is it? Just spit it out and get it over with, could you?
Why keep beating around the bush?
Ye Fan really wanted to say, are you even a man!
If youâre a man, be more straightforward; whatâs with all the beating around the bush?
So, can you get to the point or not?!
âSo are you going to tell me, or not?â Ye Fan was running out of patience.
This guy, really knows how to keep someone in suspense.
âIâll tell you, Iâve just been too excited. You see, I visited Ruoxueâs place the other day, and her parents really liked me. Right now, our parents are discussing our wedding plans. I might be getting married soon. Hahaha, in the near future, Iâll be a married man too, and then become a father. Trust me, I wonât be too far behind you guys.â
âWhen the time comes, if I have a son and you guys have daughters, Iâll let my son chase after your daughters. If I have a daughter and you guys have sons, Iâll let my daughter play around with your sons. Hmph, who asked you all to get married before me, leaving me so lonely!â
âOf course, Iâm just joking; donât mind me. Alright, enough talking, Iâm just too excited. Had to share it with someone. Iâll hang up now; come to my wedding banquet when itâs time!â With that, Zhao Xiaotian hung up the phone.
Ye Fan listened to the dial tone from his phone with a sense of helplessness.
Wow!
This guy has really become arrogant.
He rattled off everything in one go, and I didnât even get a chance to respond before the call was ended.
Thatâs really too muchâ¦
This guy, when he starts talking, really doesnât give the other person a chance to speak.
Itâs reallyâ¦
On purpose, isnât it?
Never mind not saying anything, just leaving the person anxious.
Once he starts talking, he makes it so that people are helpless to intervene.
But, itâs good that this guy is getting marriedâ¦
The speed of it all is really quick.
Already talking about marriage matters.
Thatâs pretty impressive.
This guy, heâs about to complete the revolution.
Too bad, I didnât even get to say my congratulations before the call was ended.
Ye Fan looked at his phone helplessly, his eyes also showing delight.
âWhatâs up with you, you look a little off!â Bai Susu asked Ye Fan.
Why is he alternating between happy, helpless, and then looking frustrated?
What happened?
âIt was a call from Zhao Xiaotian. He says he and your cousin are getting married soon. Theyâre meeting each otherâs parents right now. Theyâll probably get married soon, especially since theyâre not getting any younger. Itâs good to get married and have kids early,â Ye Fan explained.
He was genuinely happy for Zhao Xiaotian.
The guy was finally settling down.
âWhat! Getting married already, parents meeting, this fast? I thought it would take more time. I didnât expect that they would be getting married so soon. Xiaotian is quite something, huh? But why didnât my cousin tell me?â Bai Susu asked curiously.
Yeah, why didnât the cousin who used to share everything with her tell her about such a big event?
Thatâs really strange.
Could it be sheâs too shy?
No way!
As for Bai Ruoxueâs personality, Bai Susu knew it well: direct and straightforward.
She had never been the kind to feel embarrassed or shy.
No, she wanted to ask Bai Ruoxue right away.
âItâs probably shyness, or maybe the arrangements arenât final yet!â Ye Fan suggested.
âI think so too. Well, I was planning to call my cousin and ask, but now it seems better not to,â Bai Susu said.
âBy the way, Ye Fan, when Xiaotian really becomes our brother-in-law, considering how he used to call me âsister-in-lawâ and you âBrother Fanâ, now we have to turn around and call him brother-in-law. Can you manage that?â Bai Susu asked Ye Fan.
Speaking of which, she was a bit hesitant to say it.
What to do?
But, it wouldnât be right not to address him properly.
Changing how we address him is definitely required.
Itâs justâ¦
A little difficult!
âEven if itâs difficult, weâll have to do it. Weâll see how it goes. If we canât manage it, then thereâs nothing we can do. This guy really, overnight turned into our brother-in-law. Thatâs a bit much, no wonder ever since he met Bai Ruoxue, he stopped calling me Brother Fan or you sister-in-law. Itâs all been first names!â Ye Fan said.
âTurns out, he had his sights set on your cousin for a while now. He had all of this planned out in advance,â Ye Fan said.
Zhao Xiaotian really is clever.
Indeed, heâs quite sly and cunning.
