Just as the family was laughing happily, another mature female voice came, "Hey, everyone is here? I heard that Xiaoxu is back. Where is he? Come here and show me."
Aunt Yan Manqing's family also arrived at this time. Uncle Zhou Xingping followed Yan Manqing into the hall, and the two of them followed behind.
Yanxu went up to greet him, "Auntie, uncle."
Yan Manqing took Yan Xu and took a closer look, "Yes, he is stronger than before, his injuries have recovered, and he is a handsome boy again! Oh, why is our Xiao Xu so handsome? If he is released, You still have to charm a bunch of little girls, who are you following? After all, it’s the Yan family that has good genes! Hahaha.”
The eldest uncle Zhou Xingping arrived at Yan Manqing and said, "Don't talk about it at this time. Xiaoxu can come back safely, which is a blessing among misfortunes. It's good to come back. It's good to come back."
Everyone in the family knows that Yanxu likes men. It is inappropriate to say that he "fascinates a little girl" at this time.
Yan Xu smiled and said nothing more, but looked at the two girls following his aunt and uncle. They were the aunt's daughters. The eldest daughter's name was Zhou Yi, who was one year older than Tang Shi and the same age as Yan Xing. But it is a month older than Yanxing. The youngest daughter is Zhou Xiang, one year younger than Tang Shi, and she is 23 this year.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Zhou Yi and Zhou Xiang have grown up too." Yanxu said with a smile.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Xiang both called "cousin".
Of the family, only my sister-in-law's family arrived the latest. When they arrived, they had almost finished their meal.
My sister-in-law, Yan Manni, accompanied her husband, Wei Yuanzhou, and arrived late. When she entered the door, she kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delayed. Where is Xiaoxu? Come and let me take a look."
So, Yanxu sent it to his sister-in-law's family again to "take a look", and this time he could finally calm down.
The aunt was sitting on the sofa eating fruit. When she saw her sister coming, she raised her voice and said, "Why are you here at this time? Are you here to see Xiaoxu? Are you here to finish the meal?"
My sister-in-law explained: "There was something delayed at the Yuanzhou Alliance. I was waiting for Yuanzhou, so I'm late. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiaoxu, I'm not looking down on you. Don't blame me, huh?"
Yanxu said hurriedly: "It's still early, my sister-in-law is not too late."
Sister-in-law Yan Manni walked to the sofa and sat down with a smile on her face, chatting with everyone.
The Yan family has a large population. The house and living room are large, and the sofa and coffee table are also large. So many people can still sit down together.
As soon as Yan Manni sat down, she noticed a few unfamiliar faces sitting on the sofa opposite, "Who are these?"
Yan Xing, who was sitting with Tang Shi and the others, took the initiative to introduce: "They are all friends who came back with Brother Xu. These are Qin Lie, Long Mian, and Zhan Rong. This is Tang Shi, my Brother Xu's daughter-in-law." .”
The noisy living room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone present had different expressions.
Third uncle Yan Mingzhang was eating an orange just now. He choked and coughed at the sound of "wife". He grabbed the orange peel and threw it at Yan Xing, cursing: "You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Yan Xing said aggrievedly: "I'm not talking nonsense."
Yanxu stood up, walked to Tang Shi, held his hand, and looked at everyone, "I was going to introduce you to you after dinner. Since Yan Xing said it, I will formally introduce to you now. His name is Tang Shi. He is My lover, because she is not married, cannot be called a daughter-in-law yet, but she will be in the future."
Tang Shi was also generous and greeted them with a smile, "Hello."
The living room was still quiet, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Yanxu held Tang Shi's hand tightly, giving him courage, comforting him, and telling him not to worry. With him here, everything would be fine.
Third Uncle Yan Mingzhang took a look at the old man's face. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He threw the orange on the coffee table and said, "Shit, lovers are just lovers. What's all the fuss about? Xiaoxu is 29 this year, why can't he have a lover?" What's your reaction? It's not like you don't know that Xiaoxu likes men, right? "
Someone came out to smooth things over, and everyone smiled awkwardly. The atmosphere became lively again. Everyone was deliberately ignoring Tang Shi's existence, and even more so the "lover" thing.
Yanxu did not sit next to his family anymore, but patted Yanxing over and sat next to Tang Shi.
This made it impossible for those people to ignore Tang Shi. As long as they looked at Yanxu, they would definitely see him.
Third uncle Yan Mingzhang was having a good chat with Yan Xu, but this kid suddenly ran to the opposite side. He could only stretch his neck and ask: "You haven't told me yet, how did you escape?" At that time, you couldn't even walk by yourself. Disaster struck suddenly, everyone was in danger, and there were countless casualties. How did you escape from danger? Where was Jianghuai who took care of you? "
Yanxu held Tang Shi's hand and said, "Thanks to Tang Shi at that time. Before the end of the world, several strange incidents happened in Lincheng, which shocked the whole country. You must have heard about it. Tang Shi happened to be present at that time. He was lucky enough to escape. He had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter and traveled across Lincheng to find me. He was still there with me. The apocalypse broke out. After that, together with Jiang Huai, we escaped from my community and went to the emergency gathering place. Only then did I escape the disaster. Later, Jiang Huai left. He wanted to join the army, but my physical condition did not allow it at that time, so I had to live in Tang Shi's house. Tang Shi took care of me. After Yuan Nengjing came out, It was also Tang Shi who ventured out to hunt foreigners and obtained the Yuan Neng Crystal, so that I could recover. Otherwise, it would be difficult to survive in that situation with such a body. We have been together since then, escaping from Lincheng, Then I went to Qixian, then to Xianglong City, and then here again."
When Yanxu talked about his own experience, he cleverly covered up everything he shouldn't have said. He emphasized Tang Shi's help to him after the end of the world and told everyone how important Tang Shi was to him. Without Tang Shi, Yan Xu would not have been able to survive until now.
Mr. Yan listened silently, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and looked at Tang Shi with a much gentler look. Without this young man, his eldest grandson would be dead.
That hateful Jiang Huai actually threw his eldest grandson aside just because he wanted to join the army. It's so hateful!
Everyone listened quietly, a little doubtful of Yanxu's words.
At this time, Wei Qi, the sister-in-law's son who had been ignored, spoke up, "Cousin, don't you want everyone to accept him and praise him so deliberately? He is so thin and weak, he can really hunt aliens by himself. ?is that a lie?"
Yanxu did not save face for his cousin, and said bluntly: "Tang Shi's ability, Wei Qi, is no match for him."
My family protects their children. Yan Xu said this. My sister-in-law Yan Manni was a little unhappy, but she still smiled and said: "This... is also an awakened person?"
The sister-in-law knew Tang Shi's name, but she still called her "this one". Her indifferent attitude was obvious, and Yan Xu was also very unhappy.
Yanxu said calmly: "He is the awakened one. When he awakened, I was still an ordinary person."
This statement surprised others. So, this Tang Shi's qualifications are better than Yan Xu? impossible
Just as the sister-in-law was about to ask again, Yanxu had already changed her subject, "Wei Qi, when you have time, you can ask Tang Shi to teach you how to fight Yanxu. I'm afraid they will ask about Tang Shi's qualifications. Tang Shi has special qualifications, and Yanxu also I don’t want to say it, not to mention there are so many people nowadays and they talk a lot, who can guarantee that no one will accidentally let something slip? What’s more, they may all know the meaning of special qualifications.”
Wei Qi snorted disdainfully, "I don't want him to teach me. He looks younger than me and so thin. If I really want to learn, there are so many uncles, cousins, and cousins, who can't learn?"
Aunt Yan Manqing asked casually while eating melon seeds: "It's not bad to be an awakened person. I wonder what level of awakening it is?"
My sister-in-law also smiled and said: "My Qi Qi is already at level 9 of the awakening stage. Soon, when he reaches the peak and has an upgrade card, he will be able to enter the hero stage. I wonder what level he is?"
Yanxu smiled and replied to the two aunts, "Tang Shi, like me, is also a primary awakener in the hero stage."
Everyone was surprised. The two aunts were humiliated, and their faces were certainly not good-looking.
Mr. Yan didn't say a word, but watched every word and deed of everyone present. He deliberately didn't speak and didn't express anything. He neither objected nor agreed. He only looked at their reactions. What he was thinking was that no matter whether Tang Shi was Yan Xu's lover or not, first of all, he was still Yan Xu's savior. By neglecting Tang Shi, he was neglecting his eldest grandson. He must observe carefully to see what they were thinking.
The aunt said: "Xiao Xu, you got the upgrade card, right? You kid, the upgrade card is such an important thing. When you get it, you should first think about your family. How can you just give it to outsiders? Yours These younger brothers and sisters want to upgrade their cards, and they can still get them now.”
Aunt Yan Manqing's words were very straightforward. She did not recognize Tang Shi and directly excluded him as an outsider.
When Yanxu heard this, his expression was naturally ugly. Before he could speak, Qin Lie, who had participated in the upgrade card snatching, came out to fight against the injustice.
"What do you mean? How come I, Brother Tang, have become an outsider? He is Brother Yan's lover. Didn't he just introduce him? Moreover, Brother Yan didn't give the upgrade card to Brother Tang casually. The upgrade card is The three of us grabbed it together. You don’t know how much risk we took, chasing the fallen upgrade card. The upgrade card was surrounded by all kinds of strange beasts. We bought the upgrade card with our lives. Of course Use it yourself.”
The aunt's words were refuted, and she felt sullen, but she asked with a smile on the surface: "So, you are also an awakened hero?"
"I..." Qin Lie was speechless for a moment and lowered his voice, "I'm not."
The aunt smiled and said: "Then what level are you at?"
Qin Lie's voice became even lower, "...I'm not even at the first level."
