“Dinner is ready!”

When Chen Qing walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, he saw Shen Cheng sitting on the sofa with a bruised face and nose. The two little cat girls, Nai Cha and Yan Yan, were carefully applying medicine to Shen Cheng on his left and right.

When she heard that dinner was about to start, Yanyan's ears immediately pricked up. She subconsciously turned her head and pressed the cotton swab in her hand against Shen Cheng's face without realizing it. Shen Cheng grimaced in pain.

"Ah, Dad, Yanyan didn't mean it!" As soon as she noticed Shen Cheng's appearance, Yanyan immediately became flustered, and as a result, the cotton swab in her hand was smeared all over Shen Cheng's face along with Yanyan's hand.

Chen Chengqiang forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's okay, Daddy doesn't feel any pain, Yanyan, go eat first."

Chen Qing couldn't bear to watch it any longer and said with a wry smile, "Come, Yanyan, come to grandma!"

"Grandma is here!" Yanyan put down the cotton swab, jumped off the sofa, and trotted towards Chen Qing.

Lin Yuhui, who was following Chen Qing in serving dishes, twitched her lips when she saw Yanyan calling Chen Qing, who looked like a high school student, "Grandma."

It really feels so inconsistent!

Shen Wei sat down at the dining table, looking at the little girls calling out "Mom" and "Dad". He couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, a tear of emotion flashing from the corner of his eyes.

Is this what it feels like to enjoy family happiness?

"Master, does it still hurt?" Putting down the cotton swab, Milk Tea asked softly.

Chen Cheng originally had the ability to recover from the dual phantom genes, and the swelling had almost subsided. He stood up and moved around a few times, then smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine now. Thank you, Milk Tea."

"Hmm..." Nai Cha blushed, lowered her head, and laughed.

Shen Yu just stepped into the door at this time. When he saw Shen Cheng's appearance, he was slightly stunned and said, "You recovered so quickly? It seems that you can practice more."

Shen Cheng's expression froze, and he sat back calmly, saying, "Milk tea, I still feel a little pain on my face. Can you apply some more medicine on me?"

"Huh?"

"Master, Grandpa, and Milk Tea, come and eat, meow!" Cheese, who was already seated, waved and called out to the few people. Shen Yu first gave Shen Cheng a meaningful smile, then walked towards the dining table: "Hahaha! Here I come!"

Sitting down at the dining table, looking at the people who almost surrounded the table, Shen Yu couldn't help but sigh with a smile, and whispered: "The Shen family hasn't been so lively for many years..."

Shen Cheng also sat down, looking at the colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes on the table. Although they were all mushrooms, he couldn't help but feel hungry. But everyone just sat there honestly, looking at Mr. Shen, waiting for Shen Yu to take the first bite of the dish.

"Why are you all looking at me? Just do whatever you want. Why so many rules?" Shen Yu laughed twice and waved his hand. Everyone officially started eating.

Chen Qing watched this scene and whispered to Shen Wei, "Dad hasn't been this happy for a long time since Mom passed away."

"Yeah." Looking at the beautiful girls gathered around the table, Shen Wei sighed bitterly: "It's a pity that my uncle and the others are gone..."

"Go away, it's such a happy day, and you still say such things!" Chen Qing picked up a mushroom with chopsticks and stuffed it into Shen Wei's mouth to stop him from speaking. He supported his chin with his left hand and looked at Shen Wei with a smile.

Shen Wei chewed twice, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wife, when did your cooking skills become so good?"

Shen Cheng had just taken a bite of mushroom when his eyes lit up at the same time: "Mom, your cooking skills have improved!"

Curling his lips, Chen Qing said, "This was made by our Liusu, not me."

When she spoke, she emphasized the word "our home" very much.

Liusu's face flushed red, and she ate in silence.

…

"Dad, have some tea."

After the meal, Shen Wei just sat down on the sofa when he saw Shatang coming over to pour him tea.

“…” Wei Shen almost burst into tears again.

Shen Cheng also wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but suddenly he felt a chill on his spine. He turned around and saw Shen Yu sitting behind him, picking his teeth and looking at him.

A red word "danger" appeared above Chen Cheng's head. Without thinking, he walked out of the room and said, "I'm going out for a walk!"

"Tsk!" Shen Yu's voice suddenly came from behind him. Shen Cheng's forehead was sweating and he couldn't help but quicken his pace to go out.

As soon as he stepped out of the door and breathed in the fresh air, Shen Cheng felt relieved. He turned around and saw Cheese squatting in front of the garden in the yard, wagging his tail.

Hearing the noise, Cheese turned around, and after seeing Chen Cheng, he immediately smiled brightly and waved, "Master, master, come here quickly, meow!"

With a light laugh, Shen Cheng walked over to Cheese and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, why do I feel that the flowers here seem to be brighter than those in other places?" Cheese poked the blooming flowers and asked with his head tilted in confusion.

Chen Cheng took a look and found that indeed, the flowers at this time of year had almost begun to wither, but only the flowers here were still blooming beautifully.

Rubbing Cheese's hair, Shen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm not too sure. My mom said it's because the soil here is special."

"Oh..." Cheese's ears twitched, and he suddenly laughed and shouted, "Master!"

"Hmm?" Chen Cheng always had infinite patience towards Cheese, the first cat girl he met.

"Want to take a walk together, meow?" Cheese narrowed his eyes into crescents and said with a smile.

Shen Cheng naturally wouldn't refuse, and nodded: "Okay."

…

In the woods near the Shen family, Shen Cheng looked at the cheerful and excited Cheese in front of him, and his mood couldn't help but calm down.

Rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps between the dense leaves, gathering into countless points of light on the fallen leaves covering the ground. Cheese jumped and stepped on the light spots one step at a time. The clear chirping of birds and Cheese's light laughter intertwined, echoing in the forest for a long time.

Suddenly, Cheese, who was stepping on the light spot, stopped, his ears drooped, and he turned to look at Chen Cheng, the smile on his face gradually faded: "Master meow..."

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Cheese was suddenly a little strange, Shen Cheng quickly walked to Cheese and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, Cheese raised his right hand, covered his chest, and said in a low voice: "It's very uncomfortable here, meow."

The corners of Shen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. This cat...has grown up again?

No, Huihui will become autistic.

"Master... seems to be getting closer to Sugar Milk Tea and the others recently, meow..." Looking up at Chen Cheng, Cheese murmured, "Cheese feels... seems to be getting further and further away from Master, meow..."

Is it because I’ve been neglecting cheese lately?

Raising his hand and rubbing Cheese's little head, Chen Cheng smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, I will spend more time with you in the future, okay?"

Because no matter what, you are my first catgirl...

"No, meow." Cheese shook his head and said, "That's not what I want, meow. I always feel like... compared to Sugar and the others, I seem to be missing something, meow... I always feel... empty inside, meow..."

Shen Cheng’s hand, which was rubbing Cheese’s head, stiffened slightly.

Cheese raised his head and looked at Chen Cheng, his eyes hazy with confusion.

"Master...you will always stay with Cheese, right, meow?"
