Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 390: A Man Remains a Youth Until Death

Lin Yu returned to China during Tuan Zi’s first birthday when he could find the time.

This was also the first time he met his godson.

Actually, he could return to the country after graduating in a few more months.

Time really flies; he has been abroad for three years now.

His main reason for coming back this time was to reaffirm his status as godfather.

Otherwise, Qi Yan, that kid, would be climbing all over him.

Luo Ming had mentioned before that the full-month celebration was in B city, but this first birthday had to be back home.

And it had to be a grand affair.

The kind where the entire hotel was booked for the event,

and at this moment, Xie Xiao, Lin Yu, and Qi Yan were taking a breather and smoking.

Lin Yu seemed a lot more mature.

One couldn’t see any trace of his former impulsive temperament from his school days on him anymore.

He appeared to have settled down.

In Qi Yan’s words, "The kid now looks like a doctor."

Lin Yu shot back at him, "What do you mean looks like, I am one."

In front of his friends, he was still the same.

At that moment, Lin Yu looked at Xie Xiao, "When do you plan to hold your wedding with Luo Yan?

Xie Xiao had actually been thinking about this recently.

He had even contacted several wedding planners.

Upon hearing Lin Yu’s question, he glanced at him, "Wasn’t it you who said we should wait for you?"

Qi Yan chuckled from the side, "No need to wait for him, I’m available. I haven’t gotten my marriage certificate yet, but who knows about later, huh?"

This guy had been quite fortunate in love lately, emanating a bit of triumphant joy.

Lin Yu retorted with a "Yo," "You think you can be faster than me?"

"Well, that’s up for debate, I’m not in a long-distance relationship," Qi Yan quipped, hitting home.

Lin Yu raised his hand as if to hit him,

but said, "If it weren’t for my wife having to be a bridesmaid, I would have gotten my certificate a long time ago."

Xie Xiao found their banter quite amusing.

The company of good friends.

That was all he needed.

"I’m thinking, since Lin Yu is back in October, December seems like a good time. But I still need to discuss it with my wife," Xie Xiao said with a smile.

Qi Yan agreed, "Indeed, it’s a good time. Plus, Tuan Zi can serve as a flower boy."

Lin Yu also nodded, "Where do you plan to have it?"

"Both families want it back home. For relatives and friends in B city, we can charter flights and accommodations to invite them over," Xie Xiao said, having calculated such an expense, which was pretty much enough for two weddings.

Qi Yan exclaimed, "It must’ve been decided by the wealthy patriarch Luo, right?"

Xie Xiao nodded with a laugh, "Yes, we don’t dare to have an opinion."

After all, Luo Ming made it clear; he only had one daughter, and a grand celebration was a must. The necessary expenses would have to be incurred.

Who would dare to object to that?

Xie Xiao has started to see things pretty openly too. As Luo Ming put it, there’s no shame in spending his money.

It’s what a father can give, and after all, he has plenty of it.

In his opinion, money really isn’t something to fret over.

It’s not an act, that’s how Luo Ming truly feels.

He was even criticized by Luo Yanran for showing signs of newfound wealth.

Luo Ming didn’t mind being described that way.

The two families never quarreled over finance issues.

The house that Xie Xiao’s parents bought for him was now ready for them to move in.

So he was thinking of hastening the wedding plans.

Actually, Luo Yanran herself didn’t care much whether they had a wedding or not.

But the problem was that apart from her, everyone else disagreed.

So she simply stopped expressing her opinion.

Lin Yu was curious about another matter, "Bro, you’re getting no reaction from something like this now?"

Just now, they heard someone whispering that Xie Xiao seemed like the son-in-law who moved into his wife’s family.

Those words weren’t exactly pleasant to hear.

But Xie Xiao didn’t show any reaction.

At this moment, hearing Lin Yu’s words, he smiled and said, "I knew what the outcome would be when I chose this path. Why should I be angry? No need, just some sour grapes, that’s all."

At this time, a babyish voice came from behind, "Daddy!"

The three grown men turned around to see little Tuan Zi toddling over at some point.

Liu Ou stood not far away watching.

Then as Xie Xiao was about to respond, the two shameless ones beside him also gave a shout.

Laughing, Xie Xiao cursed, "Piss off, my son is calling me."

Then he reached out to pick up his son.

Lin Yu reached out to snatch his godson away.

The little guy was quite fond of Lin Yu because, although they had never met in person, they had plenty of video calls.

At that moment, he affectionately called out "Godfather~" and planted a kiss on Lin Yu’s cheek.

Qi Yan became jealous, stretching his face over, "Come on, son, why are you so biased?"

The little one called out "Godfather" again and planted another kiss.

Making sure he showered affection evenly like rain.

All three dads were happy now.

Xie Xiao looked up and saw Luo Yanran and the others standing at the entrance.

With a smile in her eyes, Luo Yanran said to them, "Come on, time to eat."

Xie Xiao reached out to hold his big boy, "Coming."

Then he walked over.

Lin Yu whispered to Liu Ou, "Let’s have one too."

Liu Ou, with no trace of embarrassment, teased, "I thought you preferred girls?"

Lin Yu ah-ed, "True, but I wouldn’t mind if a boy is as well-behaved."

Qi Yan playfully said to Lin Meiya, "Wife, I’m not picky."

Lin Meiya’s face flushed, as they had just gotten together not long ago and she was certainly shy, and she promptly slapped Qi Yan, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qi Yan took her hand, "Wife, I can’t lose out while they all have theirs."

Little Tuan Zi didn’t understand, but still parroted in his babyish voice, "Can’t lose."

"See, hey, my godson is cheering for me." Qi Yan lightly bumped his fist against the little one’s, "Can’t possibly lose."

Xie Xiao watched their childish antics with amusement in his eyes.

And he said, "You guys go ahead and start running, I’ve already reached the finish line."

Luo Yanran whispered to him, "Aren’t you being childish?"

"Men will be boys till the end of time~" Lin Yu chimed in with his secondary school syndrome.

"Boys~" the little guy echoed.

Everyone laughed.

The first birthday celebration was indeed a grand event, and Xie Xiao even managed to slack off for a moment that evening.

Afterward, he was so busy he didn’t even have time to eat, as Luo Ming led him around to toast the guests.

This kind of event also counted as a social outing.

Later on, when little Tuan Zi got tired, Yang Lan and Xie Qingxiao took him to rest.

Xie Xiao’s face was a bit red from drinking.

Luo Yanran, however, hadn’t drunk much, she was a woman after all, and nobody dared to purposely get her drunk.

It was different for Xie Xiao, he had to match a drink for every one offered by an elder.

After many rounds, his face had turned red.

Fortunately, his tolerance had improved over the years.

Though his face was flushed, he was still relatively clear-headed.

Later, he even stood at the entrance to see the guests off.

Luo Ming had booked the entire hotel for the day, so Luo Yanran simply took Xie Xiao upstairs to rest.

Thankfully, little Tuan Zi had already been taken away by Yang Lan and the others,

so they could rest easy.
