That computer was the one he used when he was in college. After graduation, he couldn't bear to sell it second-hand, so he took it home. It's still going strong now, mainly because his dad uses it to play Landlord.

When Chen Xu returned to the living room, he heard his mother say in the kitchen, "...This is the girlfriend Xiaoxu brought back." He entered the kitchen and saw her sending WeChat messages.

"I've already told you, she's not my girlfriend." Chen Xu corrected her and took her phone. He saw that she had sent a photo of Yang Jinxia having dinner, which was obviously taken secretly just now. He said helplessly, "It's not good to take photos secretly like this."

"I'm just so happy. There's a message." Zeng Wenli took the phone back, opened it and started listening.

Chen Xu knew that it was useless to say more, so he simply stopped talking. "She is working in the room, don't disturb her. Also, don't call all the relatives over, or they will be scared."

Zeng Wenli said as she sent the message, "Okay, okay."

Chen Xu returned to his room, took out his computer and started working.

…………

Yang Jinxia stayed in the room without coming out for the entire afternoon.

It was not until dinner time that Chen Xu went over to knock on the door. The door opened quickly and Yang Jinxia came out of the room, apologetically saying, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry. I have some work to deal with. I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay. Work is more important. You go about your business. The dishes aren't ready yet, so you can wait a little longer." Zeng Wenli said.

"Thank you Auntie, it's done."

"Then eat it."

Chen Xu's family uses an old foldable table for eating. It is usually folded up so it doesn't take up space, and is only opened when it's time to eat.

This table has been used for many years. When he was a child, he lived with his grandparents and ate at this table. There are some broken places on the edges, which look like they are covered with a layer of patina.

In reality, Chen Xu bought a new table before taking Luo Xiyun to his home for the first time because he was worried that she couldn't handle it.

Yang Jinxia probably had never stayed in a house like this. When she was young, her family's living conditions were not bad and they lived in a villa.

But she didn't show any discomfort.

Chen Xu's family does not use serving chopsticks. When eating, they use a larger soup bowl to hold the soup and put it in the middle. Each person has a spoon and if they want to drink the soup, they can scoop it directly from the bowl.

She didn't care and drank along with them.

…………

After dinner, Chen Xu said goodbye to his parents and went out with Yang Jinxia.

"Where do you want to take me?"

The temperature was a bit cold at night. Yang Jinxia wore a black coat. When she went downstairs, she asked.

Chen Xu exhaled and said, "Just take a walk. If you don't come out, my relatives will be here soon."

"Why are you hiding from them?"

Chen Xu said, "Because they would ask questions like when are you getting married, how many children do you plan to have, etc. They would also tell you that you should have children as early as possible so that my parents can help take care of them..."

Yang Jinxia asked with great interest, "Do you have many relatives?"

"A lot, including the next generation, there are dozens of people." Chen Xu remembered that in reality, when Luo Xiyun came to his house for the first time, he bought a lot of gifts. He was really shocked when he counted.

"I don't have many relatives. My father is an only child. My mother's family has long since stopped communicating with me. My grandmother's family has basically all gone abroad. In the past, even during the Chinese New Year, our home was always deserted. It wasn't until my grandmother founded Jinxiu Investment that things became lively again."

Yang Jinxia said, smiling at him, "So, I have never seen a situation like that where all the aunts and uncles gathered around to chat."

Chen Xu said, "Well, I'll take you to see it tomorrow."

"You said it, don't regret it."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there."

…………

"Video arcade?"

After arriving at the place, Yang Jinxia looked at the various machines inside with curiosity.

Chen Xu went to the coin booth to buy coins and said, "I wanted to go to the arcade, but I guess it's gone now. Have you ever played these game machines?"

Yang Jinxia shook her head and looked at the dance machine. A girl with long hair was dancing to the dynamic music, and many people were watching nearby.

"Would you like to try it?" Seeing that she looked very interested, Chen Xu handed her a handful of game coins.

Yang Jinxia took the game coin, pointed to a shooting game, and said, "Let's play that."

The two of them occupied a machine and started playing.

As a result, both of them died after failing the first level.

Yang Jinxia looked at him and said, "I thought you were very capable, but how come you died earlier than me?"

"Actually, I haven't played this either." Chen Xu said somewhat embarrassedly.

When he was a kid, he was reluctant to spend the money. In the arcade, one dollar cost several coins, and he could play for a long time. Here, one coin cost one dollar, and he could only play for a few minutes.

When I grow up, I no longer have the mood to play.

"Again?"

"Come."

The two of them put in coins again and continued to work hard...

The two of them played for the entire night, until around eleven o'clock, when Chen Xu received a call from his mother and left happily.

Yang Jinxia was having a lot of fun. When she was excited just now, she was shouting and jumping, which was not like her usual self at all.

Two people walked on the sidewalk, and the orange street lights stretched their shadows and made them fade. When they were about to disappear, new shadows appeared.

"I haven't been this happy in a long time."

Yang Jinxia's voice was a little hoarse. She had shouted too loudly just now and her throat was hoarse. "When I was in school, I saw the boys in my class go to Internet cafes and game halls to play. I have always been curious, but my grandma is strict and doesn't allow me to go to such places. Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "When I was in junior high school, I always had a wish, hoping to find a girl who was willing to accompany me to the game hall, but unfortunately, I never found one. Now, it has finally come true."

While the two were talking, they arrived at Chen Xu's house.

Chen Xu's parents were still awake, sitting there watching TV. When they saw them come in, they asked, "Where did you go to play? Why are you back just now?"

"We are just going for a stroll. I told you not to wait for us. Go to bed." Chen Xu said, and "drove" his parents back to their room. Turning to Yang Jinxia, ​​he said, "Go take a shower first. The bathroom is rather simple, so don't be disgusted."

Soon, Yang Jinxia finished washing, came out in pajamas, and went straight into the room. Before closing the door, she said, "Good night."
