Chapter 663 Visit for New Year’s Greetings 4
Shen Mianmian had never been in a relationship before, so she was a bit slow to react in that regard, and she hadn’t thought about it in that way, nor had she paid attention to Xiaocui and Dajun’s situation.
However, when Dajun was mentioned privately, Xiaocui spoke highly of him, but whether there were any romantic feelings involved, she had no idea.
"Let’s go pay a New Year’s visit! Since you don’t have many relatives, just treat Xiaocui as a sworn sister and stay in touch." Lu Siyuan, also slow on picking up on this aspect of relationships, didn’t think too much of it, and mimicking how adults would speak, he said, "Dajun, Aunt Liu is a decent person, and you’re getting up there in age. You should interact with her more, who knows, she might even find you a bride."
Those who didn’t attend school normally started families around their twenties, and for those over twenty-three, it was harder to speak of getting a bride. Lu Siyuan sincerely hoped that Dajun could also find a wife and have a lively family to celebrate the New Year with.
It pained him to see everyone enjoying the New Year with their families while Dajun was all alone.
Upon hearing this, Dajun’s expression grew even more uncomfortable as he awkwardly said, "I haven’t even built a house back home, where would I let a bride stay? I don’t want to think about that right now; I’ll work a few more years, build a house, and then think about it."
Shen Mianmian blinked, steering away from the topic of getting a bride and said, "Dajun, Aunt Liu is indeed nice, and she’s quite hospitable too. Everyone at the store is so familiar with each other, and since you know Aunt Liu, it would be good to pay her a New Year’s visit. Since it’s inconvenient for me to go, you can also wish her a Happy New Year on my behalf."
By saying this, she undoubtedly gave Dajun a better excuse to pay a New Year’s visit. If Aunt Liu found it strange that he came to her door, he could say it was Shen Mianmian who sent him.
Dajun, although a straightforward person, wasn’t foolish and understood the meaning behind Shen Mianmian’s words. He was grateful but also felt a little embarrassed.
If his limbs weren’t impaired, he might have boldly pursued Xiaocui, but under the current circumstances, setting aside whether Aunt Liu’s family would accept him, he felt he wasn’t worthy of Xiaocui.
