Reborn, I choose to register my marriage with the diva.

Chapter 549 Each generation is stronger than the last.

"Actually, I'm not really a celebrity; I just work at a newspaper—"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward Yu Huan.

He glanced at the curious faces of the crowd, a warm smile playing on his lips, and continued:

"Back then, our department made a short film, and because of the plot, I played the role of a leader. Who would have thought that once the film was released online, it would inexplicably become popular. Those so-called memes online are actually just some photos of me with text. Netizens found them particularly interesting and witty, and even gave me the nickname 'Leader Bro.' To put it bluntly, it was just netizens joining in the fun."

"Oh, so that's what happened!" Uncle said with a knowing look.

Yu Huan nodded and said, "Although I am recognized by people occasionally when I walk on the street, I am really not a celebrity."

"I thought a celebrity had suddenly appeared in our family!" Auntie said.

"Even if you're not a star, you're still a celebrity!" Aunt Li turned to look at Yu Huan, smiling broadly. "Huanhuan, you've become famous unexpectedly! Look at you, you're so well-known now, even Chun'er recognized you at a glance. Plus, you're so tall, you must get a lot of attention on the street now!"

“You’re wearing a mask when you’re out and about, how can you not get a lot of attention?” Uncle smiled and walked up behind Yu Huan, gently patting his shoulder.

Yu Huan smiled faintly and replied, "Online hype comes and goes quickly. I guess it won't be long before nobody remembers this."

"Cousin Huanhuan, you have no idea how many of my girlfriends really like you! Some even use your picture as their profile picture, saying you're incredibly handsome and have a great style!" The chubby girl, speaking with a strong Beijing accent, seemed to disagree. "They'll definitely remember you from now on!"

These crisp, cheerful words made my great-aunt burst into laughter.

She turned to look at the old man and said with a smile, "Our Huanhuan has inherited your looks, which makes her quite popular with young girls."

Upon hearing this, the old man's cheerful expression faltered slightly.

After a moment of surprise, he couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Xiuhui, did I hear that right? Are you praising me? I've lived most of my life and this is the first time I've heard you say something nice about me."

Auntie glanced at him sideways, speechless for a moment, and said, "Don't get too cocky just because you get a little praise! Huanhuan has strong features and a good temperament, he really does look like you when you were young."

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed heartily and said with a face full of pride, "My eldest grandson not only looks like me, but he's far more successful than me!"

"The student surpasses the teacher, and each generation is better than the last!" Aunt Li said with a smile, adding her comment at the opportune moment.

Binzi watched the elders chatting and laughing, then looked at Yu Huan's face, which was full of warm smiles...

He couldn't help but recall his previous disdainful attitude, and how he had even called "Brother Leader" a poor relative from the countryside. Suddenly, his face flushed, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing his friends take their seats, Binzi hesitated for a while before quietly moving to the chair next to him and gently pulling it out.

After sitting down silently, he unconsciously rubbed his hands together on his knees, appearing extremely uncomfortable.

Binzi secretly glanced at everyone out of the corner of his eye, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying much attention to his actions.

For Binzi, this meal at Quanjude was exceptionally long, almost like sitting on pins and needles.

However, for the old man, this moment was a time of reunion with his family after a long separation, and he was not only free of those two annoying old men, but also had two 'boys' he had watched grow up to keep him company.

He chatted enthusiastically while leisurely sipping his wine, and time flew by.

After two cups of Wuliangye, it felt like time flew by, and before we knew it, we were full and ready to leave.

Yu Huan didn't pretend to be refined and ate heartily, even letting out several silent burps at the end. Seeing her uncle warmly inviting everyone to his house, and knowing that her aunt lived with her eldest son, she put on her mask, got up, and went along with the arrangements.

On the way downstairs, Binzi lagged behind Yu Huan, occasionally stealing glances at the tall figure in front of him, looking slightly uneasy.

Chun, who was originally a bit shy, was now very lively, staying close to Yu Huan and chattering incessantly.

One minute she's clamoring for her cousin to remember to take a photo with her and get his autograph, and the next she's clamoring to add him on QQ or something.

Yu Huan smiled broadly and readily agreed.

People gradually walked out of Quanjude's gate.

The uncle, who was walking at the front, turned around and said to the old man with a smile, "Son-in-law, I noticed earlier that you and Huanhuan seemed to have driven here."

Seeing this, Yu Huan quickly stepped forward and took over the conversation: "This car belongs to my boyfriend's cousin."

The old man, slightly tipsy, chuckled and said, "That kid is very thoughtful. He said it would be more convenient for us to travel if we drive."

“Son-in-law, Xiaoli and I will sit with you then, so we can give you directions,” Auntie said loudly.

Yu Huan quickly nodded: "That's great, I'm not very familiar with the roads here."

"It's not far, just a five-minute drive. Your aunt and uncle live nearby," Uncle said with a smile.

The group paused briefly in front of the door.

After a brief exchange, they split into several groups and went about their own business.

Auntie warmly took the old man's arm and followed closely behind Yu Huan to the front of the Passat.

She glanced at the vehicle pass on the center console and her eyes lit up. Half-jokingly, she said, "Huanhuan's boyfriend's cousin is quite something! Judging by this pass, could he be an official?"

Aunt Li took a closer look upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "Huanhuan is in a management position at a public institution, which is equivalent to being an official!"

Yu Huan walked around the front of the car to the driver's side, opened the car door, and explained with a smile, "My cousin does work in a government department."

After saying that, he bowed and sat in the driver's seat.

Auntie let go of the old man's arm and asked curiously, "Son-in-law, I heard you say before that Huanhuan's boyfriend is a local from Xingcheng. What does he do for a living? If he's good enough for my Huanhuan, he must be quite well-off."

"Whoa!"

The old man waved his hand, just about to give a proper speech.

Just then, a short horn blared nearby.

He shifted his gaze slightly, and his eyes met Yu Huan's through the windshield.

Seeing his eldest grandson smile and purse his lips, the old man coughed slightly and said, "I can't explain it clearly in a moment; you'll have to ask Huanhuan." (End of Chapter)
