School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Mom, I'm not even at the marriageable age yet." Xiao Han hurriedly said.

"Of course I know!" Mother Xiao nodded, "But after next year, you'll be able to get married."

"There's no rush though." Xiao Han chuckled.

Mother Xiao said helplessly, "But getting married and having children is only a matter of time. You should start planning for it."

"Mom, I just started university, you should at least wait for me to graduate from college, right?" Xiao Han looked helpless, and thought that his mother was too anxious about him marrying. He had just begun his freshman year and had already found himself under pressure to marry. It was truly baffling.

"Yes, yes!" Mother Xiao nodded, "I know you just started your freshman year. I just think that I'm still young enough to help you take care of the kids. Later, when I'm old, I won't be able to help you with that, do you understand?"

Xiao Han was startled for a moment, then nodded, "I know, but in the future, you don't have to help me with the kids, I can hire a nanny!"

"How can a nanny be as dedicated?" Mother Xiao shook her head immediately upon hearing this.

Xiao Han pursed his lips, then said, "Mom, I understand what you mean."

"All right, let's eat." Mother Xiao timely changed the subject.

It was already past eight o'clock after they had finished breakfast. The sky had lightened considerably.

Mother Xiao sat alone on the sofa watching TV again. Although the house was beautifully decorated, Xiao Han could see his mother's solitude and loneliness. Sitting alone in the spacious living room, she looked isolated and lonely. A worried expression appeared on Xiao Han's face. Although the house was expensive and lavishly decorated, it was, after all, just an ordinary house without the feeling and warmth of a home.

Living in Fuxing Community made his mother happy because there were neighbors and plenty of people to chat with. But here, there was only a forest of steel and concrete, just an empty house, over one hundred and sixty square meters that probably took some time to walk around. Moreover, his mother was all alone. If he went off to school, the house would likely have only his mother in it. Living alone in such a vast space would be fearsome not just for her, but for himself too. In an empty place devoid of liveliness, anyone would feel a flutter of anxiety.

"Mom, let's go to Fuxing Community." Xiao Han said.

"No!" Mother Xiao shook her head, "How can we not live in this new house? It must be filled with vitality, or else the future generations won't prosper!"

"Mom, this is just a house, not a home. Our home is in Fuxing Community!" Xiao Han chuckled.

"Silly boy, you can't live in that dark, cramped place forever!" Mother Xiao shook her head, "Sooner or later, you have to move here. Even if you don't move now, you'll have to after you get married, right?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Han nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But, it's really too big for you to live in this place all by yourself, and there's no one around to talk to."

"It's okay, for the prosperity of Xiao's family's future generations, it's alright if I live here alone!" Mother Xiao said with a smile.

"Let's forget about it, Mom." Xiao Han shook his head, "The little flat in Fuxing Community is our home; this is just a residence. It's just too lonely for you to live here all by yourself, it's too uncomfortable. I can't bear to watch it."

Mother Xiao actually hesitated too, living alone in such a big place did seem overwhelming. With four rooms to walk through, and not to mention a large living room, dining room, kitchen, and two bathrooms, it felt nearly like a palace.

Seizing the moment of his mother's hesitation, Xiao Han quickly said, "Mom, let's go back to live there. If not, you could come here occasionally and stay for a while, right?"

"Well... okay then." His mother replied, seemingly convinced, "It makes sense to stay here from time to time when there's nothing else to do, and to do some cleaning to give the place some life. This won't affect the well-being of Xiao's family either."

"Great!" Xiao Han replied eagerly, nodding, "Then... let's go back to Fuxing Community now."

"Okay!" Mother Xiao nodded, "I'll listen to you."

Afterward, the two returned to Fuxing Community.

Xiao Han drove back to Fuxing Community in Xiao Zhicheng's Volkswagen Sagitar. When they arrived in Fuxing Community, the neighborhood was abuzz with New Year's greetings. People were visiting each other within the community, as they had been neighbors for decades. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Though not related by blood, they were like kin to each other, and some even intermarried. Some who had moved away from Fuxing Community also came back to pay a New Year's visit.

Every year, this time was the liveliest and most vibrant for Fuxing Community.

The car had just stopped.

"Xiao Han!" Liu Xiaolei was standing under the old pagoda tree at her house.

"Xiao Lei?!" Xiao Han's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Xiaolei. She was dressed in brand new clothes, a wine-red coat, a black knitted sweater inside, a silk scarf tied around her neck, wine-red high heels on her feet, her flowing long hair styled, and light makeup on, looking very beautiful.

"Where... did you go?" Liu Xiaolei was surprised to see Xiao Han driving back from outside.

"I..."

Before Xiao Han could finish speaking, Mother Xiao got out of the car. She looked at Liu Xiaolei as if she was looking at her future daughter-in-law and smiled, "Xiao Lei, come, come to my house and sit for a while."

"Auntie..." Liu Xiaolei's face immediately turned red, and she awkwardly said, "I... I was just about to visit your house to celebrate the New Year, who knew I'd be turned away at the door!"

"Oh, we stayed at Xiao Han's new house last night." Mother Xiao pulled Liu Xiaolei into the house as she laughed and said, "That house, it's for Xiao Han's future marriage."

"Ah..." Liu Xiaolei hesitated for a moment.

As soon as she heard the word marriage, Liu Xiaolei's heart skipped a beat. Her face turned even redder and her expression stiffened. Liu Xiaolei was pulled into the house by Mother Xiao. The room was already filled with all sorts of fruits.

"Xiao Lei, help yourself to anything you want, don't be shy!" Mother Xiao hurriedly said, "In the future, after all, we're going to become one family."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xiao Han quickly glanced at his mother.

Liu Xiaolei's face turned so red it almost seemed like it could drip water.

"Ha ha..." Seeing Liu Xiaolei's expression, Mother Xiao felt even more optimistic about this marriage. She knew Liu Xiaolei well. The more she blushed and felt shy, the more it meant she was indeed fond of Xiao Han inside. Mother Xiao quickly said, "Well... I'll go out for New Year's visits too, you two have a good chat in the house."

With that, Mother Xiao simply left, giving space to the young people. After all, her presence might not be the best for this sort of thing.

Once Mother Xiao left, Liu Xiaolei immediately felt much more relaxed.

"Xiao Han, did you say something to your mom?" Liu Xiaolei asked.

"Not at all!" Xiao Han shook his head and said, "However, last night I did ask my mom, heh heh..."

"Ah!" Liu Xiaolei's face turned crimson the moment she heard that: "You want to die, huh? I told you not to ask, why did you still ask?!"

"My mom is right, sooner or later we will become one family." Xiao Han chuckled.

"Get lost, who wants to become family with you?" Liu Xiaolei bit her red lips and said, "I don't wish to become family with you. I only see you as a brother, although I like you in my heart, I feel... I feel like there's something missing between us."

"What's missing?" Xiao Han asked curiously, moving closer to her, so close they could nearly touch.

Liu Xiaolei quickly scooted back, but Xiao Han persisted, step by step. He stared intently at Liu Xiaolei, as if he wanted to see right into her deepest thoughts through her eyes. Liu Xiaolei felt flustered. At this moment, she felt completely overwhelmed by Xiao Han's presence, and she was stupefied.

Liu Xiaolei frowned and hurriedly asked, "What... what are you going to do?!"

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Xiao Han chuckled.

"Don't mess around!" Liu Xiaolei quickly shouted.

"I'm not messing around!" A slight smile appeared on Xiao Han's lips.

"You... don't get so close to me." Liu Xiaolei hastily guarded her chest with her hands.

"Why are you panicking?" Xiao Han mocked, with a sinister chuckle, "Your dad must have agreed to marry you off to me, right?"

"Get lost, I don't agree!" Liu Xiaolei shook her head vigorously.

But what happened next caught Liu Xiaolei off guard.

Xiao Han moved in to kiss her, his right hand supporting Liu Xiaolei, and he kissed her on the lips.

Liu Xiaolei was taken by surprise and was instantly overwhelmed by Xiao Han, who with lightning speed pried her teeth apart and seized her lips.

"Mmm..." Liu Xiaolei exclaimed in shock.

Liu Xiaolei's instinct was to resist, but Xiao Han gave her no chance at all. He firmly grasped her shoulders and easily locked her in front of him, leaving her with no chance to struggle.

"Mmm mmm..." Liu Xiaolei was still trying to resist.

Xiao Han swiftly captured her tongue and teased it gently with the tip of his own. A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Han's mouth. He knew that Liu Xiaolei's struggles were only temporary, and as long as he could quickly overcome her, he could easily take her down.

As expected, under Xiao Han's offensive, Liu Xiaolei quickly surrendered, completely succumbing to him.

Blushing, Liu Xiaolei soon gave up her struggle because she had accepted Xiao Han deep in her heart, so she began to engage with him wholeheartedly, to communicate. Deep inside, Liu Xiaolei liked Xiao Han a lot, so she didn't put up much of a fight.
