After Bai Lu finished speaking, not long after, the door to the living room of the villa was opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man wearing an apron and a slightly serious face came out.

It was Bai Lu’s father.

“Dad, I’m back!”

Seeing Father Bai, Bai Lu immediately smiled and went over to give him a hug.

A smile appeared on Father Bai’s face, and then he looked at Xiang Long behind him.

“Hello, uncle, I am Xiang Long.”

Xiang Long said quickly.

In order to shorten the distance, he deliberately used Changzhou dialect.

“Um?”

Father Bai glanced at Xiang Long in surprise. His original serious expression softened a little. He nodded and smiled:

“Stop standing outside and come in.”

“Thank you uncle.”

Xiang Long responded quickly.

It was clear that his father was not tall and even a little thin, but Xiang Long couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Noticing that Xiang Long looked a little at a loss, Bai Lu secretly snickered. Xiang Long was always confident and confident no matter what he encountered. Bai Lu had never seen this kind of awkward expression before.

Giving Xiang Long a cheering gesture, Bai Lu entered the room holding her father’s arm.

Xiang Long naturally followed the two of them into the house and closed the door.

After entering the house, the first thing that catches the eye is the large living room with a height of seven meters. An extremely luxurious crystal chandelier hangs on the roof, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the side almost fill the whole room with sunlight.

“Yanyan, are you back?”

At this time, a cheerful voice came from the kitchen.

The voice was slightly high-pitched, and laughter came out before anyone came out.

Xiang Long’s heart moved, and he understood where Bai Lu’s laughter-loving personality came from.

Soon, a middle-aged woman also wearing an apron and with a kind face came out of the kitchen.

“Mom, you miss me so much!”

Seeing Bai Mu, Bai Lu went over to hug her again.

“Stop, stop, it’s so dirty.”

Bai’s mother smiled and stopped her daughter’s movements, fearing that the stains on the apron would get onto her daughter.

“What’s this?”

Bai Lu didn’t take it seriously at all. She stubbornly hugged her mother, and then skillfully averted her eyes: “Besides – when I hugged my dad just now, he didn’t say anything dirty or wanted to stop me.”

Father Bai’s originally smiling expression suddenly froze.

Seeing his wife’s stern glance, Father Bai coughed lightly: “I just forgot.”

Bai Mu secretly glared at her husband, and then looked at Xiang Long beside her:

“This is Xiang Long, I’m Yanyan’s mother.”

“Hello, aunt, I’m Xiang Long.”

Xiang Long introduced himself again in Changzhou dialect, then picked up the gift box in his hand and said with a smile: “It’s my first time here and I didn’t know what to bring, so I bought you a few cosmetics and two bottles of wine for my uncle. .”

“Oh, you kid, just come here. What else do you bring?”

Bai Mu shied away with a smile.

“It should, it should.”

Xiang Long said quickly.

Bai Lu also said: “Mom, just take it. If you don’t take it, he will be afraid.”

Bai Mu smiled and hit Bai Lu:

“What is this kid saying?”

Just as she was about to say something to Xiang Long, she was startled and said in surprise: “Xiao Xiang, aren’t you from the capital? Why do you speak so well in Changzhou?”

The few people had been communicating in Changzhou dialect just now, but Xiang Long didn’t feel any discomfort.

You must know that Changzhou dialect is not an easy-to-understand dialect. If you are not born and raised here, it is difficult to learn it.

Hearing this,

A happy smile appeared on Bai Lu’s face: “Mom, you don’t know, Lili has been learning Changzhou dialect from me before – come on, Lili, show my mother a local tongue twister in Changzhou.”

Xiang Long immediately spoke:

“There are two judges in a temple, one named Pan and one named Guan. Is Judge Pan in charge of Judge Pan? Or is Judge Pan in charge of Judge Pan?”

It is not difficult to pronounce this sentence in Mandarin at all, but for Changzhou people, the word “judge” has similar pronunciation, and the pronunciation of the two surnames Pan and Guan are also similar, so when the four words are connected together, , the difficulty skyrocketed.

Fortunately, Xiang Long had already made preparations before he came, so there was no hesitation in what he said.

“How is it, Mom, how is your daughter’s teaching performance?”

Bai Lu asked her mother proudly.

Bai Mu clapped her hands and smiled: “Very good, really good. I may not be able to say these tongue twisters so well.”

She looked at Xiang Long with very satisfied eyes.

A boy is willing to put in the effort to learn the dialect of his girlfriend’s hometown, obviously to facilitate communication with her relatives at home.

This carefulness and energy are enough to prove Xiang Long’s sincerity towards Bai Lu.

Father Bai on the side also thought

At this point, the eyes he looked at Xiang Long became softer again.

“Okay, Lao Bai, I don’t need you to take care of the kitchen. Go and talk to Xiao Xiang in the living room.”

Bai’s mother said to Bai’s father, and then said to Xiang Long:

“Xiao Xiang, you’re welcome. Just treat this as your own home. Go to the living room and rest – Yanyan, go to the refrigerator and get some fruit.”

Going to the living room alone with your future father-in-law?

Xiang Long’s scalp instantly became numb and he quickly said: “Auntie, I’d better help you do something in the kitchen. How can I sit here and keep you busy?”

But Bai Lu saw through her man’s true intention at a glance and said with a smile:

“No, Lili, just stay with my dad. I’m in the kitchen, so just wait and eat.”

As he said that, he deliberately pushed Xiang Long towards the living room.

Teacher Bai, do you want me to die?

Xiang Long looked at Bai Lu with eyes filled with despair.

Looking at Xiang Long’s eyes, Bai Lu almost laughed out loud.

Xiang Lili, you also have today!

She pretended not to see Xiang Long’s eyes and pushed Xiang Long directly to the living room.

At this point, the key point is that Bai’s father has already walked to the living room. Xiang Long can only accept his fate, otherwise if he doesn’t follow, it seems that he doesn’t want to get along with Bai’s father.

So, he had no choice but to secretly glare at his girlfriend who was digging a hole for him, and walked to the living room bravely. His body was as straight as a soldier, and he sat on the sofa with only half of his buttocks.

After taking a look at Xiang Long’s embarrassed expression, Father Bai was also a little confused and didn’t know how to proceed.

For him, is it not the first time to be alone with his future son-in-law?

After coughing lightly, Father Bai asked:

“Xiao Xiang, are you from the capital?”

“Yes, uncle, my home is in XX Village, XX Town, XX District, Beijing.”

Xiang Long reported his household registration directly.

Father Bai’s face stiffened and he paused. Seeing that Xiang Long had no intention of continuing, he had no choice but to ask again:

“I heard from Yanyan that you are filming a movie now?”

“Well, I’m currently filming “New Police Story” on Hong Kong Island, and I play the third male lead in it.”

Xiang Long continued to answer honestly.

“oh.”

Father Bai also nodded and fell silent.

Seeing that Bai’s father didn’t speak, Xiang Long felt that it was not a problem for the two of them to remain silent, so he asked tentatively:

“When this movie comes out, can I give my uncle and aunt two movie tickets to watch it?”

“Yeah, okay.”

Father Bai nodded again.

silence,

Silence again.

Xiang Long was really numb. He put his hands between his knees, lowered his head, and stared at the floor, as if there were some world-famous paintings there.

‘Someone come and save me! ’

Xiang Long yelled crazily in his heart.

Normally, no matter who he was with, he would never be silent, but facing Father Bai, he suddenly felt as if his eloquence had disappeared.

then,

For a while, Xiang Long sat obediently on the sofa and studied the floor, while Father Bai was holding a tea cup and slowly sipping tea.

The atmosphere is peaceful yet eerie.

fine,

The awkwardness between the two did not last long, Bai Lu came out from the kitchen carrying fruit.

Seeing Bai Lu, both Xiang Long and Bai’s father breathed a sigh of relief.

“Teacher Bai, do you need my help over there? Can I help you?”

After saying that, he looked at his girlfriend with extremely sincere and pleading eyes.

Promise me now!

Promise me now!

Xiang Long felt like he would explode if he stayed like this with Father Bai any longer.

After receiving the distress signal from her boyfriend, Bai Lu nodded understandingly and made an OK gesture.

Seeing this,

Xiang Long was about to burst into tears. Just as he was about to express his gratitude, he heard Bai Lu say:

“Lili, just have a good chat with my dad. When the food is ready, I’ll call you soon.”

After saying that, he winked at Xiang Long, held back his laughter and left briskly.

Don’t!

do not go!

Don’t leave me here by myself!

Looking at Bai Lu’s retreating figure, Xiang Long felt that the color of the world instantly turned into black and white.

But naturally he couldn’t reveal anything on his face. He smiled politely at Father Bai and sat down quietly again.

Father Bai returned the smile.

Then, the two of them continued to be silent.

After a while,

Just when Xiang Long was about to be out of breath by this wordless silence, his eyes glanced at the fruit that Bai Lu had just brought over.

An idea struck him and he asked earnestly:

“Uncle, do you want to eat an apple? Can I peel one for you?”

After saying that,

In his heart, he hoped that Father Bai would quickly say ‘thank you’, and then he could leave here temporarily on the pretext of looking for a fruit knife for peeling.

Just thinking,

He heard Father Bai say: “Thank you… Hey, Yanyan didn’t bring the fruit knife. Please wait a moment and I’ll find it for you.”

Waiting for Xianglong’s reaction

, Father Bai got up and went straight to the kitchen.

Xiang Long: “…”
