Chapter 135 - 130: Benefiting from Association
Table soccer had become a widely popular national fitness sport in later generations. Once Gu Feng and Gu Meng understood the game rules, they got completely engrossed in playing. Eventually, even Gu Tianming, Lu Aiguo, and Shitou also joined in.
Seeing their enthusiastic and forgetful engagement in the game, Lu Yun went to her mother and aunt, only to find them cooking in the kitchen and whispering secrets to each other. After listening for a bit and finding it uninteresting, she didn’t disturb them and returned to the living room to find a single-seater sofa and quietly hold a book in a "trance."
The family had long been accustomed to Lu Yun’s habit of cuddling with a book and being alone whenever she had the chance. Xia Na and Gu Tianming, on the other hand, were extremely envious, and when comparing her to their own mischievous child, they felt even more that girls were much cuter.
At the dinner table, everyone praised Lu Yun, but Gu Feng and Gu Meng were completely indifferent. They hastily scoffed down a few bites of food and then ran back to play table soccer. Seeing how much they loved it, Xia Yuan couldn’t help but tell them they were welcome to come over and play anytime. This delighted them so much that they kept saying, "Auntie Xia is the best," and "Auntie Xia’s cooking is the most delicious," which made Xia Na laugh and also a bit jealous.
Afterward, Gu Feng and Gu Meng really made themselves at home and would spend at least half a day playing every Sunday, always reluctant to leave.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Lu Yun simply arranged a corner in the living room for them with chess, checkers, sets of comic books without price tags or publication dates, and some extracurricular reading materials suitable for elementary students, such as world-famous novels.
The comic books that Lu Yun brought out were different from those rented at street stalls at the time, but still looked extremely exquisite packed into their cardboard cases.
Now, Gu Feng and Gu Meng were even less willing to leave. By Saturday night, they hurried to finish their homework and then ran to Lu Yun’s house early in the morning, no longer wanting to wander outside, and would not leave until after dinner.
