The lights were still on in Lu Yan's house. Lu Yan's mother was watching TV on the sofa, but Lu Yan was nowhere to be seen. Light was shining from the room.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar "Qi Yu," Lu Yan's mother was quite surprised. "Miss Lan, you're back. And who is this?"

Tall and handsome, he wore a simple white shirt that gave him a clean and refined air. She had never seen such a presentable person before.

Lan Qingyue felt a little awkward bringing Qi Yu back, so she introduced him uncomfortably, "Big sister, this is my boss, President Qi Yu. President Qi, this is the big sister who let Chu Chu and me stay here. She's a very kind person."

Lu Yan's mother greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Qi! Come, come, please have a seat. Your home is a bit small."

"Hello, elder sister!" Qi Yu actually used the formal "you" (您), lowering his posture, which really surprised Lan Qingyue.

This is different from what she knew. The system told her that Qi Yu had a lot of reason to be proud and would not easily lower his stance. What's going on today?

Too sleepy?

So your mind becomes a little sluggish?

But this is good too; it makes them seem more approachable.

Lu Yan's mother was initially very nervous, but Qi Yu greeted her with the respectful title "you," which slightly eased her unease.

Not wanting to make Lu Yan's mother feel uncomfortable, Lan Qingyue said, "President Qi, I've arrived. Thank you for bringing Chu Chu back. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Qi Yu glanced briefly at the living room and the partially obscured kitchen, then nodded. "Mm."

After handing Chu Chu over to Lan Qingyue, Lu Yan's mother personally saw Qi Yu off at the door. His tall figure gradually disappeared into the light around the corner, and Lan Qingyue breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chu Chu in her arms was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. She carried Chu Chu upstairs and touched her clothes. They didn't seem wet or sweaty, so there was no need to change her clothes. Lan Qingyue lifted a corner of the sheet to cover Chu Chu's belly. Without turning on the fan, she went downstairs in her slippers. "Big sister, I'm so sorry, I've been out for so long. I've kept you waiting."

During the busy farming season, it's important to get plenty of rest, otherwise you'll get very tired. It's almost ten o'clock now, and Lu Yan's mother is still watching TV. Lan Qingyue naturally assumes that Lu Yan's mother is waiting for her.

"No trouble at all," Lu Yan's mother waved her hand and said with a smile, "There are a lot of harvesters here today, and all the rice in our house has been harvested. In the next few days, while the weather is good, we will dry the rice as soon as possible, and then I won't have to worry about it."

Lan Qingyue was surprised, "You've finished collecting them?"

Is it that fast?

She noticed that there was very little rice on the rooftop.

"The harvest is all done. We don't have many paddy fields at home, just two or three mu, enough to feed us. Tomorrow I'll stay home and watch the weather; I don't need to go out."

I see.

Lan Qingyue nodded and sat down to chat with Lu Yan's mother for a while, from everyday matters to working in society. When Lu Yan's mother learned that Lan Qingyue was an actress, she smiled and said, "No wonder you are so beautiful and elegant. You are an actress. By the way, what movies have you filmed? I'll go and take a look."

Lu Yan's mother usually enjoys watching music channels and TV dramas, but rarely watches movies, so she doesn't know much about Lan Qingyue.

Lan Qingyue felt a little embarrassed. After all, she hadn't directed those movies, and the original owner's characters were all somewhat "rebellious." She didn't want to corrupt Lu Yan's mother, this simple and lovely older sister.
