After hesitating for a long time, I finally slapped my forehead and realized how stupid I was. Didn't I have fingerprint unlocking?
They tried with all ten fingers, but the door still wouldn't open.
Finally, having no other option, I climbed over the wall into the yard from the old spot. It seems my parents are still angry with me.
Memories of my past life flooded my mind. It turned out that my grades had dropped too quickly last semester, and that it was because I was trying to pursue a girl that my grades dropped.
They don't know how many times they've told their son that once he gets into a good university, he can find any kind of girl he wants.
However, Xu Xiu was stubborn and incorrigible in his previous life, and even broke up with his parents and ran away from home. So Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting changed the house password and deleted Xu Xiu's fingerprints.
You're so tough, then don't come back. You have money on you, so you can stay anywhere.
Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting knew when Xu Xiu climbed over the wall; an infrared sensor had already been installed at that location, and they had received a notification on their phones.
Who else could it be but his own son?
Xu Xiu sneaked into the living room, only to find two pairs of eyes staring straight at him.
Fang Xueting looked at her son's smug smile and asked without looking up, "Out of money?"
The rise of e-commerce has greatly impacted the Xu family's clothing factory business. The couple has no intention of expanding into e-commerce and only wants to stick to their small business.
They thought they would let their son worry about the future, and they didn't want to go through the trouble. But who knew the market would change so quickly, and their son had absolutely no interest in it.
The couple had been having a lot of headaches lately and hadn't been giving Xu Xiu a friendly look.
Now that he'd been discovered, he stopped acting suspiciously, straightened his back, walked to the sofa, sat down, and even made himself a cup of tea.
He held the teacup, blew on it a few times, took a sip, and swirled the tea in his mouth. "Good tea!"
As he put down his tea and looked at the two men with worried expressions, memories of his past life began to surface. At this moment, they should be worrying about the factory and his own performance.
He glanced at Xu Tinglong and said with a smile, "Old Xu, what are you worried about? I've never seen you looking so worried, no matter how big the problems were in the factory before."
"What storms haven't you weathered?"
A slight look of surprise flashed across Xu Tinglong's eyes; his son was acting strangely today.
Lately, I've been locking my bedroom door as soon as I get home and haven't paid any attention to them for a long time, except when they ask for money.
He gets impatient if you say a few words to him, and if you say too much, he starts yelling and shouting, and he slams doors and gives you a hard time.
The couple was truly exhausted. They blamed themselves for not spending enough time with their son due to their busy factory work, which led to the current situation.
Seeing their son behaving so strangely today, the couple were at a loss for how to react.
"Son, did you get into trouble at school today?"
Fang Xueting probed.
"Mom, how could a student as excellent as your son get into trouble? It's just that you both look so worried."
"As a son, I just wanted to come and comfort you."
Fang Xueting rolled her eyes at him, looking at him with disdain. "The biggest comfort is that you don't make us angry!"
"Are you out of money? You only talk to us when you're broke."
"Mom, look at what you're saying." Xu Xiu walked over and sat down next to Fang Xueting, then put his hands on her shoulders and began to massage her.
Xu Tinglong stood up and gently patted his face. "Son, just tell us what's wrong. Don't scare us!"
Xu Xiu waved his hand, stood up, walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and looked at what vegetables were available. He would get up early tomorrow morning to cook two dishes for Hanhan.
"Son, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."
Fang Xueting stood up and followed him into the kitchen, but Xu Xiu turned around and said, "Dad, Mom, are you hungry? Would you like to try my cooking?"
Xu Tinglong leaned against the kitchen door, staring incredulously at his son. Fang Xueting thought she was hallucinating. Cooking?
Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Xu Xiu didn't care; he knew he wouldn't be able to accept it either.
Thinking back to this time in my previous life, I would just stay in my room playing games after school every day, and wait for Fang Xueting to bring me food to my room on my days off.
Because of their good grades, the couple didn't say anything; as long as the student could study, nothing else mattered.
They didn't care about the two parents who were standing there like tools.
I picked out some vegetables and meat from the refrigerator, glanced around the kitchen layout, and found the location of various kitchen utensils. I was really not familiar with my own kitchen.
I'm going to cook for my son tomorrow. Tonight I'll practice on my parents first. What if I didn't inherit my cooking skills from my previous life? It would be so embarrassing if I made such a boast.
While Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting stared in disbelief, he had already begun skillfully washing and chopping vegetables, his movements as practiced as those of a master chef.
Before long, several steaming dishes were served on the table. Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting still couldn't believe that their son had cooked them.
Although I haven't tasted it yet, the first two aspects of color, aroma, and taste are already perfect, so it's unlikely to be bad.
Seeing the two of them lost in thought, Xu Xiu handed them the soaked bowls and chopsticks and thoughtfully opened a bottle of wine for his father.
Fang Xueting usually forbids Xu Tinglong from drinking alcohol, not even a small glass with each meal.
But today, when Fang Xueting saw her son taking wine, she didn't stop him. It's just too unbelievable what happened today.
Xu Xiu poured drinks for Fang Xueting and himself, raised his glass and smiled, "It wasn't easy raising my rascal son, thank you for your hard work!"
After saying that, he drank the beverage in his cup in one gulp. In his previous life, he had power and influence, but the desire to eat at the same table with his parents had become a luxury.
Fang Xueting and Xu Tinglong exchanged a glance, took a sip of their drinks and wine, slowly put down their glasses, picked up their chopsticks, and tasted the three dishes their son had cooked.
A perfect dish, flawless in color, aroma, and taste.
Xu Xiu could tell from his parents' expressions that the rice was cooked well and their cooking skills were good enough. He was about to get some rice when he opened the rice cooker and found that too much water had been added and it had turned into porridge.
Awkwardly, I said to the elderly couple at the outdoor dining table, "I'm sorry, I haven't cooked in a long time, I'm a bit rusty, I added too much water and it turned into porridge!"
Fang Xueting and Xu Tinglong stared at Xu Xiu with wide eyes, completely bewildered. "When did you start cooking at home?"
Xu Xiu thought about it and realized he really didn't have any. He served some porridge, ate a little bit of vegetables, and got up to go back to his room, feeling satisfied.
Watching Xu Xiu's departing figure, Xu Tinglong turned to Fang Xueting and said softly, "Xueting, are we hallucinating because of the stress we've been under lately?"
"Why don't you beat me up and see what happens?"
"You're such a grown-up, yet you act like a child."
Fang Xueting ate the dishes her son had cooked with her head down. Although her mind was full of questions, she was in a particularly good mood. She had no time to beat up her husband right now.
Sometimes people are just like that, Xu Tinglong continued in a low voice, "Um... I saved up some money on the side and bought a few cases of wine."
Fang Xueting elegantly put down her chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Honey, come inside and have a good talk with me."
Fang Xueting stood up, walked into the kitchen, took out a rolling pin, and walked into the room with a smile. Xu Tinglong wanted to slap himself when he saw this.
