Chapter 553: 2 Gouzi and Aunt Chunyu
Wei Yue'er chuckled and said, "I happened to meet him, so we came back together."
Lin Fan said, "Your Sister Xiaoyue was bullied, and I helped her drive away the bad guy."
"What?" Dog No.2 was furious. "Who dares to bully Sister Xiaoyue? I'll go beat him up!"
With Dog No.2's bear-like brawny frame, one punch could probably make Chen Junjie shit himself. Although Dog No.2 is a big dummy, if someone really bullies Wei Yue'er, he would definitely be the first to rush in and hit the person.
Wei Yue'er laughed and said, "He was already beaten up by Lin Fan and ran away."
Dog No.2 snorted, "Serves him right, Brother Fan is way more awesome than me. But Brother Fan is nice; if it were me, I would've beaten him to death!"
In Dog No.2's eyes, Brother Fan was his idol, so Dog No.2 always thought Brother Fan was better than him. Brother Fan actually got into college, while Dog No.2 didn't even finish primary school. He really admired Brother Fan.
Wei Yue'er and Lin Fan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but stick out their tongues. Dog No.2 has always regarded her as an elder sister, and he might really beat Chen Junjie to death, so she never dared to tell Dog No.2 and Aunt Chunyu about Chen Junjie harassing her.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's fine now. Dog No.2, has Aunt Chunyu come back?"
Dog No.2 became happy again, grabbed Lin Fan's hand, and dumbly smiled, "Mom is already home. Brother Fan, I'll take you to see her; she'll be very happy to see you!"
Dog No.2 grabbed Lin Fan with one hand and picked up the load on the ground with the other. The load weighed over a hundred pounds, but it seemed weightless to him, thanks to his natural strength.
Dog No.2 was actually only twenty this year, a year younger than Lin Fan. Who knows why he grew to be so strong, like a big black bear.
Soon, they arrived at Dog No.2's home. As soon as they entered the yard, Dog No.2 shouted, "Mom, Brother Fan is here!"
A woman emerged from the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, and with wet hands, holding a rice cooker, looking like she was about to wash rice and cook.
Upon seeing Lin Fan, the woman immediately flashed a bright smile, "Little Fan, it's really you! When did you come back?"
"Hello, Aunt Chunyu, I came back last night," Lin Fan replied with a smile.
This woman was Dog No.2's mother, He Chunyu.
He Chunyu dressed very simply, like an average farmer, and after a day of work, her skin was a bit red from the sun. However, her skin was naturally fair, and she had very striking features and excellent charisma.
Her simple clothes couldn't hide her aura. If she wore something elegant, she'd look just like a radiant noblewoman. Despite being nearly forty, she didn't look old at all, seeming more like she was in her early thirties.
Lin Fan always felt a bit amazed whenever he saw He Chunyu.
Back when Lin Fan was a child, he befriended Dog No.2 mainly because of He Chunyu. The first time he saw her, he was captivated. Back then, she was younger, even more beautiful than now. As Dog No.2's close friend, Lin Fan visited often just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Aunt Chunyu.
When Lin Fan was younger, he used to daydream about Aunt Chunyu. Now that he's grown, he no longer harbors any inappropriate thoughts and has become true good buddies with Dog No.2, treating Aunt Chunyu as an elder.
Aunt Chunyu's husband passed away very early, and she raised Dog No.2 on her own, which was not easy. Plus, for Dog No.2's sake, she never remarried and was considered a great mother.
Now, Lin Fan feels more respect for He Chunyu, but he still can't help being amazed whenever he sees her. She always gives him an extraordinary feeling.
"Xiaoyue is back too, the house hasn't been this lively in a long time. Lin Fan, stay for dinner tonight!" He Chunyu said warmly.
Lin Fan wanted to stay, but thinking of Lin Zixing at home, he said, "No, we've also cooked at home. Maybe another day. I just came by to say hi and need to get back."
Dog No.2 looked a bit forlorn, "Brother Fan, you're leaving so soon?"
Wei Yue'er laughed, "Lin Fan, look how happy Aunt Chunyu and Dog No.2 are to see you. Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Lin Fan said, "I just got back today and haven't even gone home yet."
It was true; he had intended to go straight home but got caught in so many incidents, delaying him until now, and he hadn't even seen his parents yet.
He Chunyu regrettably said, "In that case, I won't insist. Little Fan, how about coming over for dinner tomorrow night?"
Lin Fan cheerfully responded, "Sure. Dog No.2, I'm heading back now, I'll come find you tomorrow."
Dog No.2 seemed quite reluctant, "Brother Fan, won't you really stay for dinner? I brewed a pot of wine myself, waiting to drink with you when you came back."
Lin Fan laughed, "I'll come tomorrow, and we'll drink together!"
"Alright." Dog No.2 reluctantly agreed, "Brother Fan, I'll see you out."
Lin Fan then said goodbye to Wei Yue'er and He Chunyu, "Aunt Chunyu, Xiaoyue, I'm heading back now."
He Chunyu replied, "Remember to come tomorrow."
So, Dog No.2 walked Lin Fan out. When they just saw each other, Dog No.2 looked very reluctant.
"Dog No.2, has Xiaoyue been living at your place for a long time?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Dog No.2 thought blankly for a moment, "I don't remember, but she's been here a long time."
Lin Fan asked, "What do you think of Sister Xiaoyue?"
Dog No.2 immediately broke into a silly grin, "Sister Xiaoyue, she's beautiful, like a fairy!"
Lin Fan laughed, "Do you like Sister Xiaoyue?"
Dog No.2 never lied to his best friend, Lin Fan, and nodded, "I do, but mom says Sister Xiaoyue is an elder sister, I can only be her little brother, can't marry her as my wife."
Lin Fan was puzzled, unsure of Aunt Chunyu's reasoning. Did she perhaps think Dog No.2 wasn't suitable for Wei Yue'er?
"Would you like to marry Sister Xiaoyue?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Dog No.2 chuckled innocently, "I'd like to, but I need to listen to mom; if she says no, then no."
Lin Fan knew Dog No.2 was very filial; from childhood to now, he always listened to Aunt Chunyu. Whatever Aunt Chunyu asked him to do, he did.
They relied on each other, and for Dog No.2, his mother was the most important person, followed by Lin Fan, and now there was one more, Sister Xiaoyue.
"If someone bullies Sister Xiaoyue, would you protect her?" Lin Fan asked.
Dog No.2 angrily declared, "Of course! If anyone bullies Sister Xiaoyue, I'll beat them to death!"
Lin Fan said, "Recently, someone's been harassing Xiaoyue. I can't always protect her, so when she's coming or going from work, keep an eye on her."
Dog No.2 solemnly nodded, "I understand. I'll definitely protect Sister Xiaoyue!"
Lin Fan smiled, "That's good, no need to see me off, you should go back."
Dog No.2 suddenly looked at Lin Fan and started grinning.
"What are you smiling at?" Lin Fan asked, curious.
Dog No.2 laughed, "Brother Fan, you like Sister Xiaoyue, don't you?"
Lin Fan laughed in disbelief, "How's that possible? I just met her today."
Dog No.2 laughed heartily, "That's great! Even though I can't marry Sister Xiaoyue, Brother Fan can! Brother Fan, you need to put in effort."
Lin Fan was taken aback, looked at the silly smiling Dog No.2, and sometimes couldn't tell if Dog No.2 was genuinely silly or just pretending.
