Shen Shiqing was shocked by Xiaoxia's words. She never expected that Sister Miaomiao was actually her die-hard fan.

This feeling is a bit strange.

Shen Shiqing was a little worried that today's meeting might shatter Miao Miao's illusions.

Even though Shen Shiqing didn't say anything, Xiao Xia could tell what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, Sister Shi, my mom will only like you more after she sees you." Xiao Shixia took out her phone, opened WeChat, and held it up to Shen Shiqing to show her.

The above is a chat message between Xiaoxia and Sister Miaomiao.

【Ahhhhhh, Shi Xia, my darling, I'm liking Shi Qing more and more! The more I watch, the more I love him!!!】

When will your brother finally marry Shi Qing? If not, you might as well have him marry into the family.

...

Sister Miaomiao is quite open-minded? Shen Shiqing felt relieved.

Shen Shiqing took a gift out of his bag and handed it to Xiao Shixia.

"Here, yours."

"I got a gift too!" Xiao Xia stepped over and gave Shen Shiqing a big hug. "Thank you, sister-in-law!!!"

He shouted louder than anything else, and Shen Shiqing even felt that Lu Jingchu in the kitchen could hear him.

Xia opened the gift and couldn't wait to put it on her wrist. After putting it on, she ran to Lu Jingchu to show it off.

Shen Shiqing shook his head helplessly. He really was just a child.

Miao Miao came downstairs after unwrapping her gifts, just in time for dinner.

This was a family dinner, and Lu Jingchu and Lu Yang prepared a very lavish meal, filling the entire table.

Of course, it was mainly Lu Jingchu who did the work; Lu Yang was just an assistant.

Sichuan peppercorn sea bass, hairy crab, stir-fried snow peas, braised pork ribs with chestnuts, curry garlic shrimp, mapo tofu, chicken soup with cordyceps flowers, black pepper beef, blanched squid, and stir-fried bok choy.

It's a common dish for holidays, and it looks and smells delicious, tempting the taste buds.

The vase on the table held the flowers that Mr. Lu had sent over that morning; they were very fresh and delicate.

With the drinks and freshly washed fruit that Lu Yang brought, the table space was almost full, leaving only seats for eating.

That's just right.

Lu Jingchu had already served them rice; it was purple rice, which Miaomiao had been craving lately, and it was the only rice they had at home.

Everyone was seated, and Lu Yang was starving. He picked up his chopsticks and started wolfing down the food.

He doesn't seem like a normal person. But when people are hungry, they don't care about anything else.

Lu Jingchu arranged for Shen Shiqing to sit next to him and moved the chair aside for her to sit down.

Shen Shiqing was surprised to find that many of the dishes were her favorites. It has to be said that Lu Jingchu had definitely put in the effort.

Shen Shiqing took a bite and found it to be quite good. It seemed that he had indeed been seriously learning to cook recently.

"How is it?" Lu Jingchu asked her.

"Hmm, very good, an improvement from last time." Shen Shiqing praised him directly.

If it were just her and Lu Jingchu here, Lu Jingchu would have come over to ask for a kiss.

Of course, that's impossible now, but of course, there will always be people stirring things up.

"It seems my cousin cooks quite a lot." The words were originally directed at Lu Jingchu, but then she turned to Shen Shiqing, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, this is the first time I've ever eaten his cooking."

"Oh, really?"

Lu Jingchu originally wanted to give him a dirty look, but the two of them coaxed her back.

Sister-in-law, that sounds nice.

“Yes, sister-in-law, you don’t know, I rarely get to taste my brother’s cooking at home. I didn’t expect him to improve so quickly now.” Xiao Xia continued Lu Yang’s words.

"Here, Shiqing, eat this." Sister Miaomiao said, picking up a piece of pork rib for Shen Shiqing. "This one tastes better."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Miaomiao." Shen Shiqing put it in her mouth; it was indeed very good.

From now on, whenever there's time, I'll have Lu Jingchu do it!

"Eat slowly." The food was a bit dry, and Shen Shiqing felt a little choked. Lu Jingchu poured her a glass of water and placed it beside her. "Drink some water first."

Shen Shiqing felt much better after drinking the water.

"Looks like I'll have to add more water next time." Lu Jingchu had already begun to summarize her cooking experience.

It was an ordinary sentence, but to others it was interpreted as a subtle display of affection.

They couldn't help but tease them at the dinner table.

Lu Jingchu didn't care about that and put the shrimp and crab meat she had just peeled into Shen Shiqing's bowl.

Seeing this, Sister Miao was quite satisfied. She had thought her son was a complete novice when it came to love, but it turned out he was quite savvy.

He's just like his father back in the day.

The meal was enjoyed in a pleasant atmosphere, and the group chatted as Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu went into the kitchen.

Although they went into the kitchen together, Lu Jingchu didn't let her do anything; she just stood aside and watched Lu Jingchu wash the dishes.

Listening to the sound of flowing water, it seems as if the passage of time has slowed down.

It seems like they've spent many, many years together.

"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Jingchu was holding a plate with water dripping from it.

"Nothing, I was just thinking that things are really good as they are now."

"I think so too." He then leaned in and kissed Shen Shiqing. Seeing Shen Shiqing blush, he turned around with satisfaction and continued washing his dishes.

"Let me take you out for a walk later." Lu Jingchu knew that she had just gone out for a stroll with Sister Miaomiao, but he still wanted to be alone with Shen Shiqing, even if it was just a walk.

“Okay.” Shen Shiqing agreed without hesitation.

After tidying up the kitchen, the two greeted Sister Miaomiao and walked hand in hand outside the house.

This time, it was Shen Shiqing's turn to speak, and Lu Jingchu listened patiently without getting tired of it.

“I know this lake. Did you often come here to play when you were a child? You even tried fishing like the adults. So how good were you at it?” Shen Shiqing looked up and asked him.

"It's just so-so, not even half as good as my girlfriend's. Oh well, if I want to eat fish in the future, I'll have to rely on my girlfriend to catch it." He put on an innocent look and spoke in a softer tone than usual.

Shen Shiqing couldn't stand it; he would have surrendered immediately.

"Sure, I'll take care of you." Shen Shiqing said casually, after all, she was capable of doing so.

"Look at this tree, didn't you often come here when you were a child?"

"I forgot, I don't remember very clearly."

The two walked hand in hand toward the tree. There was a slope, and Shen Shiqing walked in front.

"You really don't remember? Sister Miaomiao said you used to swing here all the time, and you even fell off once." Shen Shiqing reached out and brushed a strand of hair from his forehead.

There is indeed a dent there, but it's been so long that you can't see it unless you look closely.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Shiqing asked him. At such a young age, he should be crying loudly, right?

“It doesn’t hurt,” Lu Jingchu said decisively.

The next second, Shen Shiqing tiptoed and gently kissed the scar.

"So does it hurt?" Shen Shiqing looked intently into his eyes.

"It still seems to hurt a little," Lu Jingchu said with a smile. "Why don't you kiss me again? Maybe it won't hurt at all then."

How come I never noticed before that her boyfriend was such a closet pervert?

Shen Shiqing thought to herself, "I won't let him succeed."

Continue running uphill.

Lu Jingchu chased after her, the breeze lifting her clothes and gently swaying Shen Shiqing's skirt.

The image freezes at this moment, becoming part of their memories.
