Chapter 29

Guan Shaoyang was sitting in the living room watching TV. When Guan Tang walked in, he was caught red-handed, "Playing so late, huh?"
"Ah." Guan Tang responded awkwardly, seeing a lot of deep emotions in Guan Shaoyang's effort to maintain a stable expression, and couldn't help but escape, "I'm going to take a shower!"
Guanshaoyang originally wanted to chat with him, but when he saw that he didn't look good, he didn't ask anymore.
Aunt Yang whispered to Guanshaoyang, "Look at this child's complexion, Lao Guan, I think there's something going on."
Lu Dad nodded and followed his wife, saying, "There's potential."
Guan Shaoyang was also happy, but he said, "It's not a done deal yet. Guan Tang is just a useless fellow. I gave birth to a face for him to eat, but I don't know if he can make it or not. I think this doctor is better than the leader Zhi Ming, with a good temperament, just a bit more tired from work. Nowadays, being a doctor is a high-risk profession."
"The news may sound scary, but those are just isolated cases. Teachers and doctors are highly respected," Aunt Yang comforted Guan Shaoyang. "Do you think being a CEO means you're not tired? I asked Zhi Ming, he's tired too, something about..."
Mr. Lu interrupted, "Workaholic."
Aunt Yang clapped her hands, "Exactly! How else could someone so young become a leader?"
"It's not a good match, no future," sighed Mr. Guan Shaoyang, shaking his head again.
Guang Tang took the clothes for a bath. Guang Shaoyang was surprised. Aunt Yang immediately pointed to the blind date program on TV and said, "Look, this girl looks pretty and has a good temperament, not inferior to this man. Look, the man and the woman standing together look very well-matched. - Hey, Lao Lu, what do you think?"
Uncle Lu nodded emphatically and said, "They are quite a good match." He looked very serious as he said it.
After the bathroom door closed, the three of them sighed with relief. Aunt Yang continued, "Why wouldn't they be a good match? Guan Tang is so good-looking, and he's a writer, very cultured, and has a great personality. Who wouldn't like him? I could tell that day, the way that person was looking at Guan Tang wasn't quite right. Maybe someone has their eye on him."
Guan Tang thought he had hidden it well that day, but in fact, besides honest Lu Baba, no one else was fooled by him. When their eyes met, even the air passing between them felt chaotic, crackling as if wanting to slow down a few frames, unless the audience was a fool, they should know that these two people have a storyline.
Father Lu nodded, "Yes, Guan Tang is really good."
Guan Shaoyang remembered what Guan Tang had said to him and said, "But it also depends on whether the other party has this kind of vision."
"Yeah, that's true. My son really doesn't deserve her," Aunt Yang sighed, "I went to their company today and saw that little girl, the big boss's own sister, she's like a little fairy with a radiant aura. She even took the initiative to greet us, and her words were so friendly and pleasant. But Lu Zhiming was like a wooden stake, couldn't compare to the girl's enthusiasm at all."
Lu Dad stopped talking, and the next thing Yang Auntie did was to throw the blame on his head: "You foolish fool, just like you!"
"Then why did you marry me." Lu Dad protested softly.
“I'm not a fairy!”
Dad Lu rare retorted, "Why not?"
Aunt Yang: "......"
Guan Shaoyang: "......"
Aunt Yang blushed, and Guan Shaoyang was choked by dog food.
"Shiming is still young, a tall and handsome young man who has studied abroad and come back. He shouldn't worry about finding a partner," Guan Shaoyang said. "Guan Tang is almost thirty. I have to play the role of both father and mother, but I can't compare to a real mother, and a woman is more caring. I just hope Guan Tang can find a partner soon, like you guys, always quarreling and making noise, but in fact, hearts are close to each other, how good that is." There was a hint of melancholy in these words, after so many years as neighbors, no one would fail to hear it.
In the past, the relationship between Guan Shaoyang and Guan Tang's mother was very good. Guan Tang's mother passed away early, and it has been more than ten years now. Guan Shaoyang has never had any other thoughts and has been wholeheartedly taking care of Guan Tang, finally raising him up. However, as the child grows up, he will eventually go out to explore the world, and Guan Shaoyang inevitably feels a little lonely. Putting himself in the shoes of others, he does not want Guan Tang to live the same kind of life as himself, and always feels that he should have a companion to be complete.
Aunt Yang said, "I can see that Guan Tang's fate is almost there. Look, there's a domineering CEO, a gentle doctor, oh, and a romantic encounter. With so many romantic opportunities, she's bound to find a love interest, right?"
"The romantic encounter was a failure, and Guan Tang didn't even have a chance to pursue her. That guy, surnamed Mo, ah, we don't know what's going on with these young people, it seems like before, it was Guan Tang who was more into him." Three peach blossoms, Guan Shaoyang suddenly lost two.
“There’s also today, which looks pretty good. I’ll make a few more appointments and get to know each other better. Can’t run away!”
Guanshaoyang thought, "Guantang said she wanted to travel with me. It’s finally started, and if we go for ten days or half a month, where’s the time to get to know someone better?"
The three of them stared at each other, eyes wide, when they heard Guan Tang's phone ringing inside the room.
Before taking a shower, Guan Tang had left her phone charging on the bedside table. Aunt Yang exchanged a glance with Guan Shaoyang, who then sneaked a look towards the bathroom before quietly tiptoeing into the bedroom to take a peek.
杨阿姨跟在他后头，陆爸爸依旧坐在客厅里望风。
手机屏幕上显示出一条新的微信消息。
……：到家了。
“这怎么没名字……”关邵阳嘀咕着。
Aunt Yang patted him on the back, "How was it? Is that the doctor?"
"I don't know, it seems like it?"
Aunt Yang glanced at him, "What do you mean 'seems like', it definitely is."
The two sneaked out again, Aunt Yang said, "I think the atmosphere between them is pretty good, there's definitely something going on."
"Hmm." Guan Shaoyang nodded solemnly, but his face was full of joy, as if he had just taken a sip of wine and felt delighted.
Since he fell ill, he had not had a drop of alcohol, only pouring drinks for others and watching them drink. If he could really have a few sips, he would be truly happy.
After taking a shower, Guan Tang came out and Aunt Yang called him: "Hey, Guan Tang, come here. Aunt has something to tell you."
Guan Tang walked over while drying his hair and sat down, saying, "What's the matter, Aunt?"
"Do you know that there's a girl at Zhiming's company who seems to be interested in him?"
Guantang looked confused and said, "I don't know."
Aunt Yang patted him and said, "It's the girl with the last name Fang that Mr. Mo mentioned that day. She went to see the dormitory with Zhi Ming and Mr. Mo brought Zhi Ming back."
Guang Tang: "Huh?"
When Mo Chengchuan avoided the topic and talked nonsense, Guang Tang was still hiding in the kitchen. After thinking for a moment, she reacted: "Their boss's sister?"
"Yes!" Aunt Yang's eyes lit up, "Tomorrow you help Aunt ask and find out. Hey, don't say that I asked you to ask, otherwise he will pretend to be ignorant and know nothing when asked!"
In fact, Lu Zhiming really didn't know. When Aunt Yang asked him, he just said "No" "Impossible" "Not true" "Don't make things up", which made Aunt Yang very angry.
"Well..." Guan Tang smiled, "Do you want me to be your spy?"
"Tsk, who cares about spies. Just tell me if you'll help, huh? Auntie Yang will make delicious food for you, make dumplings, braised beef, pickled chicken feet, make a bunch for you to put in the fridge and eat slowly."
Guantang nodded decisively, "Leave it to me!"
Aunt Yang smiled happily, "Ah, good child! Aunt loves you the most!"
After taking on the task, Guantang got up and went back to her room: "Uncle and aunt, rest early."
He sat on the edge of the bed, drying his hair, and saw a message from Mo Chengchuan. He picked it up and replied, "Just took a shower, didn't see it."
Meng Chengchuan: "Hmm."
Guan Tang instantly regretted it, feeling like he had sent too many messages. In his heart, he cursed Mo Chengchuan and couldn't help but want to change his contact in his phone. Originally, he thought Mo Chengchuan's name was too eye-catching, so he changed it to "......". Now, in a fit of anger, he had to pull up the page again to change the contact name.
想了一会儿，改了个“凸莫凸”，改完对着看了半天，怎么看怎么不像自己朝莫呈川比中指，反而像他冲着自己比中指，又不行了，又要改。一时还没想到更好的，莫呈川又发消息来了：“早点睡，晚安。”
“安个屁。”关棠气得压根儿没回他，把手机塞到枕头底下不想看了。
关邵阳一直在旁边默默地关注着，这时瞅他一眼，问：“怎么了？”
Guantang said, "Not much."
Doesn't seem like it.
Guanshaoyang leaned over with a look of wanting to join in the fun, "Chatting with someone?"
"No, we don't."
Guanshaoyang's eyes turned and he picked up Lu Ziming from the address book, "Zhiming, Uncle has something to tell you."
Liu Zhiming: "You speak."
Guo Shaoyang didn't think he could explain it clearly, so he sneaked into the bathroom and opened the voice message: "Guang Tang went on a blind date today and it went pretty well. But when she was replying to messages just now, it seemed like she was in a bad mood again. You young people are easier to talk to. Tomorrow, help your uncle find out what's going on. Finally found an interesting match, don't ruin it again."
Lü Zhiming: "He went on a blind date today... Went well?"
Guan Shaoyang: "Seems like it, they played until pretty late, only came back to wash up."
Lü Zhiming: "...Then why is he throwing a tantrum again?"
Guan Shaoyang: "I don't know, he has a reserved personality and always keeps his joys and sorrows to himself. He definitely won't tell me."
Liu Zhiming: "How bad is his temper, is it really bad?"
Guan Shaoyang: "No, he's back to acting like nothing happened in no time. But I was watching from the side. He's really good at acting like nothing happened."
Liu Zhiming: "Okay, Uncle, I'll ask tomorrow."
Guanshaoyang was happy: "Hey, I'll leave it to you, uncle. If there's anything, you help persuade him. When you get married, I'll give you a big red envelope."
Lu Zhiming: "ok."
