Chapter 783 -332: The Cousin-in-law Who Loves to Sing

Peng Xiaoyong wasn’t entirely wrong, but he always liked to speak in that pretentious tone, as if everyone else in the car were immature kids while he was the only knowledgeable one.

This annoyed Liu Shuo, who couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

He thought to himself, “Who do you think you are? If it weren’t for your little connection to my brother, I wouldn’t even acknowledge your existence on the street!”

In reality, Zhou Yuwen was slightly older than Peng Xiaoyong, so he wouldn’t bother getting into any childish quarrels with him.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhou Yuwen glanced around at Liu Shuo’s Toyota Camry and asked, “This car’s from 2007, right? It’s older than you, isn’t it?”

“2005,” Liu Shuo corrected.

Zhou Yuwen changed the topic, and Liu Shuo followed along, commenting about how the car was a bit worn out.

“My dad’s been leaving it at home unused. I use it to get around.”

Zhou Yuwen said, “Isn’t it fine for driving? Why bother with a new car?”

“It’s not the same! If I drive this car, would Sister Hui even sit in it?”

Zhou Yuwen retorted, “She wouldn’t dare not sit in it!”

“If she doesn’t sit in it, I’d smack her across the face!”

Liu Shuo burst out laughing, saying, “Bro, you’re just messing with me! Why don’t you smack your girl too?”

“My girlfriend isn’t as materialistic as yours, right, baby?”

While talking, Zhou Yuwen tilted his head toward Su Qing in the backseat.

It was rare for Zhou Yuwen to address Su Qing so affectionately, so Su Qing quickly played along, nodding vigorously: “Of course! As long as we’re together, I’d be happy even on a bicycle~”

“Eww~”

The two showcased their affection in front of everyone, making not just Liu Shuo cringe but also causing Lu Wanting to burst into laughter. She teased them with her slightly Taiwanese-accented Mandarin, “You guys are so cheesy~”

“I’ve got goosebumps all over!”

Lu Wanting rolled up her sleeve and showed her goosebumps to Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen replied, “What’s so cheesy about this?”

“When you’re in love, you should be sweet and affectionate.”

“Hey, Cousin, take some notes. You two don’t even seem like you’re in a relationship.”

Zhou Yuwen teased Peng Xiaoyong.

He was doing it for Peng Xiaoyong’s benefit, after all. They were relatives, and it wasn’t easy for him to bring a girl home. Zhou Yuwen couldn’t help but notice that, even though they were sitting together, they weren’t sitting close to each other.

How could that be?

They had already come home together.

Peng Xiaoyong put on a show, pushed up his glasses, and said, “My relationship with your cousin-in-law is a spiritual connection. You wouldn’t understand.”

As soon as Peng Xiaoyong said this, Liu Shuo burst out laughing, “Spiritual connection!? Haha, Cousin, are you joking! We’re all men here; Cousin-in-law is so beautiful! It’s not like you’re Yang Wei! How could it be just a spiritual connection, hahaha!”

After Liu Shuo’s remark, the atmosphere in the car grew awkward.

Peng Xiaoyong’s face turned green.

Liu Shuo was the only one laughing. When he realized nobody else was laughing with him, he awkwardly stopped.

Zhou Yuwen gave him a glance, asking, “Do you think you’re funny?”

Liu Shuo scratched his head, saying nothing.

In the small county town, all entertainment venues were within three kilometers; it took just five minutes to drive to the karaoke spot.

Since it was the New Year period, the karaoke bars in the small town were still bustling with activity.

The front of the venue was lined with rows of bicycles.

At the entrance of the karaoke bar stood a group of lively young ladies, with a skinny guy with dyed yellow hair mingling among them, chatting while puffing on cigarettes.

The group headed upstairs.

The bill for the karaoke room wasn’t something Zhou Yuwen and the others had to pay. Even if Peng Xiaoyong didn’t understand manners, he wouldn’t expect a bunch of kids to foot the bill.

After asking about the prices—small room for 38, medium room for 68, luxury room for 98—

Peng Xiaoyong took out his leather wallet, pulled out 200 yuan, and thought about getting a medium room for two hours. Just as he decided, Liu Shuo chimed in from behind, “Get the luxury room!”

Peng Xiaoyong’s expression instantly darkened.

Zhou Yuwen interjected, “There are only five of us. No need, just get a medium room.”

“Ah, Bro, you don’t get it. The medium rooms here have bad sound quality, plus the environment is crap. The luxury rooms are different! 98 is totally worth it. You earn so much money outside; isn’t it meant to be spent at home? Luxury room it is. Ow, Cousin, should I pay for it instead?”

“No need.”

Peng Xiaoyong was downright fed up with Liu Shuo at this point. His cousin’s friend—just where did this wild kid come from? No manners whatsoever, acting up when someone else is paying?

“Fine, let’s go with the luxury room.” At 26, Peng Xiaoyong wasn’t about to argue with kids. Glancing at the 800 yuan left in his wallet, he reluctantly pulled out another two bills.

“Let’s start with two hours.”

While Peng Xiaoyong was paying at the counter, Liu Shuo kept nagging from behind: “Hey, should we grab some snacks? Whatever you want, just take it. Cousin, is that okay?”

Peng Xiaoyong wasn’t a regular at karaoke bars, but he knew that the snacks there were ridiculously overpriced. He replied, “I don’t care.”

Then he turned to Lu Wanting and asked, “Do you want anything?”

“Hmm! I kind of want some chips!” Lu Wanting, always straightforward, didn’t hold back her thoughts.

“Alright, you guys go pick some snacks. I’ll cover everything,” said Peng Xiaoyong.

“Thanks, Xiao Yong! You’re the best!~”

Lu Wanting blinked her eyes and flashed a smile.

For the first time, Peng Xiaoyong cracked a faint smile.

Liu Shuo bit back his laughter, but Zhou Yuwen shot him a glance, prompting him to restrain himself. Grinning, he asked, “Hey, Cousin! Can I grab some snacks too? Thanks, Cousin! Cousin, you’re such a nice guy! Bro, want anything?”

“You go ahead.”

“You’re not eating? What about your girl, then?” Liu Shuo turned to Su Qing.

Su Qing looked back at Zhou Yuwen instead.

Zhou Yuwen said, “You just go with Cousin-in-law.”

“Alright.”

And so, the three of them went to the convenience store to buy snacks.

Meanwhile, as they left, Peng Xiaoyong, who had just paid for the karaoke room, couldn’t hold back anymore. He turned to Zhou Yuwen and said, “What’s up with your friend? Does he have no manners at all? How could you even hang out with someone like that?”
