Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Chapter 413 Family Dynamics

?

It was not just that, Lu Xuan realised how much he missed the dynamics of his family. How much he missed this girl's attitude. How much he missed the scolding of Gu Shangyan when he and An Xiulan would engage in a never ending bickering. He missed his mother's warm embrace, his father's stern face. He missed how when he would go to his father's place, his grandmother would treat him like a prince who was more precious than anyone even though Lu Xun would get jealous. He also missed his step mother and step father who always played a positive role in his life. 

"How are you adjusting there?"An Xiulan asked him. She was genuinely worried about this thing. It was not easy to stay in a country whose language, culture, food and people were completely different. She faced a lot of such problems for years. In the end, she got adjusted there as she stayed there for seven years. But it would be hard for Lu Xuan. 

Lu Xuan answered, "Good. But I have a question."

He asked, "What's wrong with Chinese restaurants here? Why do they serve shitty food? Most of the food doesn't even taste Chinese."

He could not get adjusted to western food. Yes, it was fine once in a while but in the end, he wanted a nice and simple home cooked meal. He swore that the so called chinese restaurants there were looting people on the anime of authentic food. 

An Xiulan laughed. "There will obviously be differences. But I will share with you the list of foods and places you should try if you want to survive there. I had seven years of experience living there. Let's use it for a good cause."

"And aren't people a little open minded there?" Lu Xuan asked. He did not consider himself a conservative. He would just say that people were too open minded there. The cultural shocks that he was getting everyday was enough to make him bewilder all day. 

"What happened?" She laughed. She could imagine a good incident that must have taken place with him. This reminded her of the time when her college friends would talk about sex so casually and she would be left breathless at the name. In the end, they all did not change but she had to develop thick skin. In the end, those cultural shocks stopped suprising her. 

"I can't tell you, "He told her. "But I can tell you that I have been called Korean Japanese so many times during my stay here. If this keeps happening, I might begin questioning my ethnicity."

An Xiulan laughed. "You are a handsome boy like those Korean Idols. That's why you are mistaken as one. You should take it as a compliment." 

"Thank you very much, "he said sarcastically. 

"Where is mom?"Lu Xuan asked him. 

"At home."

"You haven't gone home yet?" he asked. 

She answered, "I am at Xueyun's house."

Lu Xuan said annoyed, "Then you should spend time with her and not annoy me on call. Go back to her and let me sleep."

"I hate you, Lu Xuan!"

"Oh, you don't!"

…..

"Where were you?" An Xiulan turned to find Han Nanxian standing on the patio door. She could see other family members talking animatedly inside. 

An Xiulan grumbled, "I was talking to a mean man."

Of course, Lu Xuan was a mean man. How could he cut the phone like that? She was his one and only sister and yet he was treating her like this. He was such a hard man to have as a brother yet she was handling him. He did not see how hard he makes things for her yet she was having him fine. But today he made her so angry by hanging up the call on her. 

"Was it my brother?" Han Nanxian asked him. He wondered who could be daring enough to annoy this woman. And he could not see anyone other than his brother doing that. 

"No, it was my brother, "An Xiulan said, "How can your brother be mean to me? He is the sweetest boy that has ever existed in this world."

When they say love is blind, they meant it for women like An Xiulan who would not see any fault in their lovers. Although Han Zixin was a flawless man and even if he had flaws, she would not be able to see them as she always looked at him through the filter of love. 

She wanted to be offended in place of Han Zixin when Han Nanxian doubted that the sweetest man in the world could be mean to her. Like did it make any sense? Can the word mean and Han Zixin come in the same sentence? 

No, it doesn't make any sense at all! 

Han Nanxian laughed. "There is no doubt about it. But I was hoping to hear girlfriend complaints."

An Xiulan assured him, "There are none."

He laughed again. "Why are you so cute?"

He could see that she was offended because he doubted that Han Zixin could be mean to her. Truly, these two were a match made in heaven. If these two were not the end game, then he would never trust in love again. 

Truly, he was very happy that his brother had a woman who loved him to this extent. Not everyone was lucky to have anyone love them to this extent. 

An Xiulan said, "I know right. It is a difficult question to answer. But why does my brother not feel the same? Is he crazy? Could he not see my amazing self?

"This time he did a number on you, "Han Nanxian said. He did not know what Lu Xuan had done but he was pretty sure that it must be something big or An Xiulan would not be this pissed. 

"He hung up on me, "An Xiulan said.

Ouch. It hurted..

"Oh, that's really bad. You should not forget about this, "Han Nanxian said. 

"What happened?"Song Xueyun said as she arrived. 

"Lu Xuan hung up on her, "Han Nanxian said. 

Song Xueyun looked at her husband and answered, "And you are sprinkling salt on the matter, right Nanxian?"

Lu Xuan and Han Nanxian had this rivalry which would always put others in trouble. 

Han Nanxian looked everywhere but at his wife and said, "I have no idea what you are talking about?"

"Teacher Han, do you have some wife complaints?" An Xiulan grinned.

This little devil. 

Han Nanxian had no idea that this devil would avenge like this. If he had known he would not have said those words. 

"No, no, my wife is perfect, "Han Nanxian said, hugging Song Xueyun. 

"Good, "An Xiulan asked with a cheeky grin.

"Why are guys discussing complaints?" Han Nanxian asked as he heard these words. 

"He was asking me if I have complaints regarding my boyfriend?" She said cheekily. 

Han Zixin gasped loudly. "Really Ge? You are talking behind my back."

His reaction was eggargated. The couple was having fun teasing Han Nanxian and the latter could not even retort. This couple was devilish. He regret trying to tease them and now he was the subject of their teasing. 

Han Nanxian sighed. "I wanted to have some fun but you guys ended up having fun at my expense. Why are you all like this?" 

The three of them began laughing. His wife, his brother and An Xiulan were laughing so hard that their eyes got teary. If he could pout and stomp on his feet to show his dissatisfaction, he would have done it. But he had an image to uphold and he could not ruin it in front of them. 

Han Zixin pulled Han nanxian's cheeks. "Why are you so cute, Ge."

"Me too! Me too!" The little girl came running. She asked Han zixin to pick her up as she also wanted to pull her older brother's cheeks. 

"Why should I?" Han Zixin showed her attitude. No, he did not feel even a tiny bit guilty for showing attitude to this little girl. It seemed that their relationship would be based on this attitude even in the future. They didn't see each other eye to eye but cared too much about each other even though they did not like each other. 

"Do it!" She stomped on her feet and made him do what she wanted him to do. It was hard for them to win against her. After all, she was the new and most precious member of the family. 

"Do you think Yiyi and Xiaobao will be friends?" An Xiulan asked. She liked this little Han princess as it reminded her how her two brothers doted on her too. Moreover, Yiyi looked too much like her boyfriend and she behaved just the same too. She liked seeing their dynamics too. It was very funny! 

"Oh, the little barrel of vinegar? No way!"Song Xueyun reacted, "He is so used to being the only younger member of the family that he will not entertain the thought that a tiny creature can replace him. And you have seen Yiyi's ability to make anyone dote on her. If Shangyan or uncle Gu met her, they are goner for her."
