Lin Shu didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Yining. Seeing that she took the initiative to help look after the baby, he said with a sense of relief, "You've helped me a lot."
Then he complained, "He Chi brought the cat here without saying a word. I wasn't prepared at all."
Jiang Yining picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Listening to Teacher Lin's complaints about He Chi, she put down the teacup and laughed softly.
When He Chi came out of the kitchen, he saw Jiang Yining smiling with her lips curved and her brows relaxed.
But the moment she saw him, Jiang Yining put away her smile.
The sudden eye contact made Jiang Yining at a loss.
He Chi stared at her with his dark eyes, and only looked away when he saw that she was nervous.
He went to take the birthday cake out of the refrigerator.
Seeing He Chi take out the cake from the refrigerator, Jiang Yining guessed, "Teacher Lin, happy birthday."
She said embarrassedly, "I didn't even know it was your birthday today. I didn't even bring you a gift."
Lin Shu: "I'm happy that you can come. No need for gifts, and I didn't tell you about my birthday in advance."
She changed the subject, looked at He Chi and said, "He Chi, Yining said she would help take care of your cat for a few days, and you haven't thanked her yet."
He Chi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and twitched his thin lips. He looked at Jiang Yining and said, "I'm sorry to bother you these few days."
Jiang Yining pretended to be calm. "No problem, I really like it. By the way, does it have a name?"
He Chi: "Yes, He Xiaohui."
When He Xiaohui heard He Chi calling his name, he meowed in cooperation.
Teacher Lin knew his son well and shook his head, "You're so lazy even in picking a name."
After dinner, several people watched TV in the living room. Teacher Lin didn't care that Jiang Yining was there and asked He Chi, "Last time you told the girl you were dating that you like men..."
He Chi coughed lightly and interrupted Teacher Lin, "Mom, today is your birthday, let's not talk about this."
He saw Jiang Yining turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of surprise.
He and Jiang Yining had a blind date in a cafe on the same day and he couldn't refuse. If he didn't go, Teacher Lin would sever the mother-son relationship. He just made up an excuse to get away with it.
Now that it was brought up in front of other people, He Chi sighed. As expected, one must pay for what one has done.
Teacher Lin wasn't going to let him go. "Do you think I want to bring this up on my birthday? I usually say I'm busy when I call you, and hang up after a few words."
