As I left the station exit, I saw Zhong Ping and his daughter Zhong Rou, each holding two popsicles and looking at each other.

In winter, snowflakes were falling outside, while inside, a father and daughter were wolfing down popsicles.

"Dad, what are you two doing?" Zhong Tingyue's long legs strode over to the two of them.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhong Ping seemed startled and coughed incessantly, while Zhong Rou rolled her eyes, swallowed the last bite of her popsicle, and then jumped up happily: "Yay!"

Zhong Tingyue patted her father's back gently. It took him a while to recover. He sighed dejectedly and reluctantly took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket.

As Ms. Zhong accepted the hundred-yuan bill, she said, "Father, I have won in the end, and you have lost!"

The father and daughter had just made a bet: whoever could eat two popsicles the fastest would give the other one hundred yuan. Zhong Rou clearly won.

Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."

In Chengdu, she has an immature fiancé and a naive future mother-in-law; in the Central Plains, she has a 'super-strong younger sister' and an unreliable father. She feels exhausted.

Why is everything around her so strange?

“My daughter’s home, hehe…” Zhong Ping looked up at Zhong Tingyue with a smile, “The hundred you lost just now was money your mother gave me to sell vegetables, can you lend me a hundred?”

Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."

An immense sense of speechlessness enveloped her.

The three left the airport as heavy snow fell from the sky, covering the ground in a blanket of white.

Zhong Tingyue pulled her clothes tighter, feeling even colder.

I returned home under the cover of night.

"My eldest daughter is back." Gao Ruoyun was overjoyed to see Zhong Tingyue.

Upon entering the house, the warmth filled the room, instantly dispelling the cold outside and making one feel as if separated from the outside world.

Zhong Tingyue handed over the gifts she had brought to her family one by one. As is customary, Chu Fang also bought corresponding gifts for her family. Furthermore, before returning home, many elders of the Chu family had given her numerous gifts, including local specialties...

The little blond cat and the tabby cat lay in the corner of the house, enjoying the warmth of the heating, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Zhong Tingyue's family sat around the table, which was laden with delicious food. Gao Ruoyun ate while asking, "Daughter, how are things over there? Are you getting used to it?"

"It's alright." Zhong Tingyue nodded in agreement.

The food and drink were to my liking, but I wasn't used to the climate of Chengdu, which was rarely sunny and very humid.

How have Chu Fang's family treated you?

"very good."

To be fair, Chu Fang's family treated her very well, taking care of everything and making preparations for her arrival.

At the banquet, everyone treated her sincerely, without any of the condescending attitude one might expect from an elder.

"What about Chu Fang's mother?"

Zhong Tingyue replied, "That's good too."

Despite Chu's mother's hostility towards her, she never spoke ill of herself to anyone.

She realized that Chu's mother was a soft-hearted person who was both soft-spoken and soft-hearted.

Zhong Tingyue was very confident that she could control her future mother-in-law after marriage.

Gao Ruoyun knew her daughter well, and after hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The family had a reunion dinner, and it was already late at night. Because she had been traveling all day, Zhong Tingyue went to bed early and snuggled in her blankets. Outside, there were gasps of surprise as the three of them were unwrapping Chu Fang's gifts.

She couldn't resist sending a message to her fiancé.

[Wangshu: Are you asleep?]

[Solo player in a dating game: Going to sleep.]

[Wang Shu: Don't buy such expensive gifts for your parents and younger sister in the future.]

Chu Fang was very generous, giving Zhong Rou expensive wines, cigarettes, gold jewelry, and most importantly, a note that said she could buy a car from him after she turned eighteen, and he would pay whatever it cost, as long as she liked it.

At this moment, Zhong Rou was hoping to turn eighteen quickly and have her own car.

[Solo player in dating: Mind your own business!]

Chu Fang did not think he had done anything wrong.

He is wealthy and willing to give gifts to his family, not to show off, but because he hopes his family can enjoy the same life as him.

It's impossible for someone with billions in assets to buy junk for his family.

[Wang Shu: Whatever you say.]

Zhong Tingyue naturally understood Chu Fang's mindset and didn't bother to say anything more.

[Wang Shu: What are you doing?]

[Solo Queue Player in Romance Game: Want to know?]

[Wang Shu: Hmm.]

[Solo Lover: Engaging in an ancient and extremely physically demanding project, passed down since humanity first set foot on land, it is the greatest 'handicraft'... ...]

Wang Shu: ... ...

She didn't ask.

[Solo player in a dating game: Ms. Zhong sent me a few selfies, I'll use them.]

[Wang Shu: No way!]

[Solo player in a dating game: Hurry up, these short videos are really ugly now.]

Zhong Tingyue's lips twitched slightly, and her bright eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something interesting.

She opened the video call and immediately saw that Chu Fang was not doing 'handiwork', but was sitting in the house playing games.

“Aren’t you doing ‘handiwork’?” she asked.

“You didn’t send it, so you can’t do it,” Chu Fang said righteously. “It’s all your fault.”

Chu Fang was playing Summoner's Rift when he glanced at his phone and saw Zhong Tingyue getting up, leaving the screen, and then returning to the screen shortly afterward.

She had changed out of her padded jacket and into a special outfit: a suit shirt with the buttons undone at the neck, revealing her fair skin and swan-like neck; and a black pencil skirt that went past her knees.

She wore a pair of studded shoes that glittered under the light.

What's most striking is that Zhong Tingyue has thick-rimmed glasses perched on her nose. She reaches out and adjusts her glasses, and in an instant, Chu Fang feels an aura of 'mature woman' emanating from her, which is extremely alluring.

Zhong Tingyue struck a pose, her every move exuding the allure of a vixen.

Chu Fang glanced at the vixen on the screen, then at the team fight taking place in Summoner's Rift. He quickly typed, "Brothers, my house is on fire, I'm logging off!"

After saying that, he jumped onto the bed, his eyes fixed on his phone. On the screen, Ms. Zhong displayed an unusually charming side.

But soon, the other party ended the video call.

[Solo Dating Player: ???]

[Solo queue player in a dating game: Liang Kun: I'm really angry right now.JpG]

[Solo player in a dating game: Hurry up and video chat!]

[Wang Shu: Call me Mother.]

[Solo player in a dating game: Mom!]

Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."

It must be said that men's cerebellum always dominates their brain.

In the past, Chu Fang would never have been willing to be addressed that way, even if it meant his death.

The two immediately connected via video call. Zhong Tingyue was demonstrating her dance moves, a modern dance she had learned a few days ago, when the door suddenly opened and Gao Ruoyun walked in: "My dear daughter, you're asleep..."

Gao Ruoyun looked at her cool and elegantly dressed daughter in front of her, and then at Chu Fang's anxious expression on her phone screen.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, becoming exceptionally awkward.

Gao Ruoyun: "... ..."

Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."

Chu Fang: "..."

How embarrassing...

The three exchanged glances, and finally Chu Fang broke the awkward silence: "Um... Auntie, I was discussing work with Zhong Tingyue. Today's topic was whether the company needs a female secretary. Zhong Tingyue was wearing a prop, and as things stand, the company doesn't seem to need a female secretary..."

Zhong Tingyue's lips twitched.

How can this man talk such nonsense in such a serious manner?

Gao Ruoyun nodded in sudden understanding: "I see. Then Auntie won't bother you any longer."

He quickly left the room and closed the door.

Chu Fang: "Do you think your mother believes that?"

Zhong Tingyue blushed: "What do you think?"

Chu Fang: "I believe you!"

... ...

Leaving the room, Gao Ruoyun patted her chest and let out a long breath: "Phew..."

"These two kids are really something, never hiding anything from anyone, unlike us back in the day. But young people these days really know how to have fun, this must be what kids always call... Kospree, right?"

... ...
