Chen Yu sat on the sofa watching TV. Shen Yan hesitated for a moment before walking over to Chen Yu's side. "I'm going upstairs to do my homework. You... don't go out to play. Stay home and watch TV."

"Huh? Oh, I see."

Hearing Chen Yu's affirmative answer, Chen Yan began to go upstairs. He had many topics to study today, and he quickly got into study mode. However, he would listen to the sounds downstairs halfway through his studies. He deliberately left the door open while studying, and only when he could occasionally hear Chen Yu laughing while watching TV could he continue studying with peace of mind.

Chen Yu was watching a variety show downstairs. Her laughter grew louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of her eating potato chips. Chen Yan's problem-solving process was interrupted several times. Seeing that Chen Yu was definitely not going to run out, he simply closed the door to block out Chen Yu's voice.

It was exactly 5 p.m.

Shen Yan rubbed his sore eyes. He went downstairs and saw Chen Yu asleep on the sofa. There were still commercials on the TV. He went over, picked up the remote and turned off the TV. After thinking for a moment, he took a blanket and covered Chen Yu with it. Chen Yu opened his eyes, still half asleep. Shen Yan's hand holding the blanket froze in mid-air. Should he cover her with it or not?

"Children, I'm home!"

Chen Le pushed open the door and swaggered in. Shen Yan immediately put down the blanket in his hand, pretended that nothing was wrong, and sat down on the sofa next to him. He coughed with his fist over his mouth to ease his embarrassment.

Why is nobody welcoming me?

Chen Le looked at the two silent men and wondered if he was no longer popular. Why was he making him feel so awkward? Chen Yu sat up from the sofa and said, "Uncle, I just woke up and haven't realized what's happening yet."

"Alright, I forgive you. Are you all hungry? I'll make you a turkey! It's Christmas today." Chen Le excitedly waved the turkey in his hand. Chen Yu was stunned. It was Christmas today. She looked at the sky outside with some regret. It was a pity that she couldn't go out to buy presents.

Chen Le fiddled around in the kitchen for a while, and soon a delicious aroma wafted out. Chen Yu followed the aroma into the kitchen and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing? It smells so good."

"It smells good, doesn't it? You'll see soon enough. Go outside and watch TV. You can eat it in a little while."

Chen Le chased Chen Yu out of the kitchen, and Chen Yu had no choice but to sit back on the sofa. She had only gone into the kitchen because she felt awkward. She was still wondering what Chen Yan's actions meant. Was he trying to cover her with a blanket?

"Come on, everyone, come and eat!"

Chen Le brought a large bowl of turkey to the table, and the aroma immediately filled the air. Chen Yu immediately stood up from the sofa. Looking at the fragrant turkey, her mouth watered. She was determined to have a big feast tonight.

Shen Yan also found a seat and sat down. Chen Le didn't take rice, but instead took out two servings of pasta. "Alright, everyone, let's get started. I'll give you a surprise after we finish eating."

Chen Le winked mysteriously at the two of them. He broke off two chicken legs, giving one to Chen Yu and the other to Shen Yan. He wanted to feed these two little ones first. When Shen Yan took the first bite of the chicken leg, he was somewhat surprised. He had never eaten such a delicious way of cooking before. This Uncle Chen Le always managed to bring him strange and wonderful things.

Chen Yu was so happy that she ate a little too much and ended up stuffed. She touched her round belly and started to regret it. She was sure she would gain a few pounds. She sat down to rest, and Chen Yan helped Chen Le clear the table.

Chen Le told the two little ones to sit on the sofa and wait for him, but Chen Le didn't appear after a long time. Chen Yu looked behind him and realized that Chen Le, who had been busy behind the scenes, was gone. "Chen Yan, where did Uncle go?"

Shen Yan turned around when he heard Chen Yu's voice, "I don't know, they were just here a moment ago."

The two stood up to look for Chen Le, but the lights above their heads went out and the TV turned off. Chen Yu took a deep breath, wondering if there was another power outage. Chen Le walked out of the kitchen, shining a lamp on his face. "A ghost!" Chen Yu screamed in fright, grabbing the remote control from the table and throwing it in the direction of the ghost.

"Ouch!" Chen Le's face was hit squarely, and he covered his nose in pain. "Kid, it's me, your uncle!" His voice sounded a little angry, but he couldn't blame them. After all, thinking about it later, his idea was indeed a bit bizarre.

Chen Yu gripped Shen Yan's arm tightly in fear. The two of them were startled when they heard Chen Le's voice. They then turned on their phone flashlights and went over. When they saw that it really was Chen Le, Chen Yu angrily helped him up. "Uncle, what are you doing? You scared me half to death!"

"Oh, I just wanted to give you two a surprise."

Chen Le turned on the power switch and shook the two gift bags in his hands. Chen Yu took the bags, but still patted Chen Le's arm, "I think this isn't a surprise, it's a shock!"

"Go open them and see if you like them."

Chen Le pushed the two of them to sit on the sofa. Chen Yu quickly opened the packaging bag. Inside the gift box was a small fountain pen. Chen Yan's gift was also a fountain pen, only Chen Yan's looked a bit bigger.

"Uncle didn't know what to give you, so I gave each of you a fountain pen, hoping that you will do better and better in your studies."

Shen Yan was deeply moved; he never expected to receive a fountain pen. Chen Yu, however, was somewhat displeased, as she had never been fond of studying.

"Thank you, Uncle. I like it very much."

"Thank you, Uncle. I like it very much too."

The two thanked Chen Le, which made Chen Le blush. The three chatted in the living room for a while, and then Chen Le ran upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. He had gone out to work early in the morning and it was time for him to rest. Shen Yan was the second to go upstairs, and Chen Yu was the last. She watched TV downstairs for a bit before going up.
