Shen Xingting sat on the bed, leaned over and kissed the young man on the lips while he slept peacefully. He rubbed the young man's red earlobes and said softly, "Baby, get up."
"I'm so sleepy, don't bother me, let me sleep for a while." Cen Jing pushed away the big dog that had been pestering him for a kiss, buried his head in the quilt, and said in a muffled voice.
Shen Xingting was helpless: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, have you forgotten?"
Mid-Autumn Festival?
Cen Jing suddenly opened his eyes. Uncle Shen called a few days ago and asked them to go home together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!
He lifted the quilt and climbed up. He stood in front of the closet, rubbing his cheeks and said worriedly, "Ah, what should I do? I have no clothes to wear!"
Shen Xingting hugged him from behind, looked at the closet where two-fifths of the clothes were Cen Jing's clothes, and sighed silently.
"Baby looks good in anything she wears. Besides, it's not the first time you meet my dad and the others. Why are you so nervous?"
Cen Jing's delicate and beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "It's different. I went to meet my idol before."
Hearing this, Shen Xingting kissed Cen Jing's neck and whispered: "What about now?"
"Now." Cen Jing turned around, hooked his big dog's neck, tilted his head and smiled, "Now I'm going to meet my two fathers-in-law, so of course I have to treat them seriously."
Shen Xingting bit his nose lightly: "Father-in-law? Aren't they my parents-in-law?"
"Well, but the campus forum says that you are the one below. There are pictures and the truth." Cen Jing said with his eyes crooked.
Thinking of the photo that was secretly taken by someone, Shen Xingting's face immediately turned dark.
"You kicked me off the bed and I fell!" He bit Cen Jing's neck twice in revenge.
"Haha, it's so itchy." Cen Jing laughed and dodged, raised his hand to push the big dog's head and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, haha, it's okay if I was wrong."
"That's better." Shen Xingting raised his head, looked at the red marks on the young man's neck, and curled his lips with satisfaction.
"Go wash up and come to eat, it will be cold if you don't eat now." He pinched Cen Jing's neck and said.
"Okay, then wait for me."
Ten minutes later, the two sat at the dining table, eating and chatting. Shen
Xingting: "In addition to my father and mother, I also have to visit my grandparents. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with Teachers' Day. My grandparents and uncle are all teachers, so I need to buy two gifts."
Cen Jing: "Okay, I'll buy a few bouquets of flowers when the time comes."
"Okay."
After a meal, the two of them finalized the itinerary for today.
Half an hour later, Shen Xingting drove back to Lin'an City with Cen Jing, who was wearing the same clothes as him.
...
Lin'an City, Chunjiang Huayue Garden.
Shen Yunxing and his wife got up early in the morning and were busy. First, they went to the mall to buy a lot of food, and then went to their home in Seine-et-Marne to pick up Shen's father and mother.
Then, Shen's father and Fu Tingzhou were left to work in the kitchen, while Shen's mother and Shen Yunxing sat in the living room, eating melon seeds, watching TV, and drinking tea. They were so comfortable.
"Mom, when will my brother, sister-in-law, and Mu Mu come back?"
Shen's mother and father were already in their seventies, but because they retired early and took good care of themselves, they looked to be in their early sixties at most. The brothers Shen Yunshu and Shen Yunxing were also younger than each other.
The Mu Mu mentioned by Shen Yunxing was the child of his eldest brother Shen Yunshu and Yu Ye. His full name was Shen Mu'an, and his nickname was Mu Mu.
As for why he was not called An'an, it was because Shen Mu'an disliked the nickname because it sounded feminine, so everyone changed to calling him Mu Mu.
"Xiaoye is on a business trip and can't come back. Yunshu and Mumu are estimated to arrive in the afternoon." Shen's mother peeled an orange and handed it to her son, and asked, "What about Xingzhou and Xingting? When will they arrive?"
"Soon."
Shen Yunxing had just finished speaking when the doorbell rang.
"They are here." Shen's mother, who was closest to the entrance, stood up and said.
Shen's mother smiled and opened the door. She didn't see anyone, but a bouquet of flowers that was bigger than her arms and a pair of long legs.
"Oh, such a big bouquet of flowers." Shen's mother said with a smile, "The one behind is Xingting, right?"
"Grandma, how did you know it was me?" Shen Xingting said, poking his head out.
"You always give sunflowers on Teachers' Day, which is so annoying. But your brother knows grandma's preferences and gives beautiful roses." Although Shen's mother said it was annoying, her expression did not mean it. The corners of her mouth were almost curled up to the sky.
"Don't be anxious. First, I wish you and grandpa a happy Teachers' Day. Grandpa will give you the roses later on Valentine's Day."
Shen's mother laughed, "What nonsense! Your grandpa and I are so old, and we still celebrate Valentine's Day."
Shen Xingting also laughed, "You are still young. I heard that you danced in the square a few days ago and charmed a lot of old men. Grandpa is jealous."
"Don't say that. Your grandpa will be angry if he hears it." Shen's mother glanced towards the kitchen and complained to her grandson in a low voice, "Your temper has gotten worse as you get older. You just know how to be jealous every day."
After the people entered the door and put down the flowers, Shen's mother saw that her grandson was holding a boy in his arms.
The boy was petite, and he was standing behind Shen Xingting just now. In addition, he was blocked by the flowers, so she didn't notice the second person at all.
"Who is this?" Shen's mother looked at Cen Jing curiously.
Cen Jing was a little nervous, and turned to look at Shen Xingting for help.
Shen Xingting pinched Cen Jing's fingers, then raised the corners of his mouth, and said proudly: "Your granddaughter-in-law."
After that, he motioned to Cen Jing to call someone.
Cen Jing didn't expect him to be so direct. She forgot what to say for a moment, and was stunned for three or four seconds before she came back to her senses.
"Grandma, Happy Teachers' Day and Mid-Autumn Festival." He said with red ears.
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Shen Yunxing who was standing aside and looking at him with a smile: "Uncle Shen, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Hey, you are Xiaojing, right? Come in, come in. I've always heard our Xingting talk about you before, and today I finally see you." Mother Shen took Cen Jing's hand, smiled and pulled him in front of her, looking left and right, very satisfied, "This child is so good-looking, much prettier than Xingting."
"Is your grandma like you? You used to praise me for being the most beautiful in the world, and every time you took me out, you would show off to the neighbors. Why have you changed now?" Shen Xingting said deliberately.
"That's not what I said. Go find whoever said it." After saying that, Mother Shen ignored her grandson, pulled Cen Jing to sit on the sofa, took a fruit from the table and handed it to him, "Child, do you like apples? Or do you want to eat oranges or other fruits?"
Cen Jing smiled obediently: "Thank you, grandma, I'll just eat apples."
Mother Shen: "Okay, let Xingting go to the kitchen and cut it for you."
"No need, grandma, just eat it like this."
"It's okay, what's wrong with doing more work at such a big age." Mother Shen took Cen Jing's hand and patted it, "This child, the more I look at him, the more he admires me."
"Xiaojing, where are you from? How many people are there in your family? What do your parents do?"
"Mom, are you checking the household registration? Don't scare people again." Shen Yunxing said helplessly.
Since his son is not around, as a father, he has to help take better care of him.
"It's okay." Cen Jing smiled at Shen Yunxing, then crooked his eyes and said with a bright smile, "We are from Lin'an. There are three people in our family. Mom and Dad run a small business and are currently abroad."
"Being abroad is a bit inconvenient." Thinking of the two children getting married and having to run back and forth during the holidays, Shen's mother couldn't help but say.
"Grandma, don't worry, my parents have already planned to return to China, and they will probably be back next year or the year after." Cen Jing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shen's mother said happily, "Really? That's great. I was thinking that you two will be together in the future, and you will have to run back and forth. How tiring it is."
Cen Jing talked with them for a while, and soon the doorbell rang. It was Fu Xingzhou and Qin Yanjun who came back.
"Xiao Jing, grandma will introduce you. This is your brother Fu Xingzhou. The one next to him is Zhou Zhou's girlfriend. You can just call him brother." Shen's mother said.
"Grandma, we have met before." Fu Xingzhou put down his things and said with a smile, "Xiao Jing, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I'm afraid that Chuan Chuan would have to stay pure for you for the rest of her life."
"Brother, I have told you so many times not to call me by my nickname. Why are you still calling me by it?" Shen Xingting said uncomfortably when he heard his brother calling him by his nickname.
Fu Xingzhou: "Sorry, I forgot. Besides, Xiao Jing won't mind, right?"
Cen Jing smiled and nodded: "Very cute."
Shen Xingting felt even more uncomfortable when his wife said his nickname was cute.
"Come and have dinner. We can talk at the dinner table." Shen's father said.
"Okay, Xiaojing, come and sit with grandma."
The old lady liked Cen Jing very much and wanted him to be by her side during meals, but Shen Xingting was not happy.
"Grandma, how can you compete with your grandson for the daughter-in-law?" He pouted.
"Be good, we are the younger generation, and it is our duty to make the old man happy." Cen Jing raised his hand and consciously stroked his hair on the head. After rubbing it twice, he found that everyone was looking at him. Only then did he realize that the occasion was not right, and his cheeks flushed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Xingting said reluctantly, "Grandma, I'll lend you Xiaojing for a while. Remember to return him to me after dinner."
"This child, return it, return it, return it now." Seeing that the two children had a good relationship, Shen's mother didn't want to be a bad person who broke up the couple, so she returned him immediately.
Shen Xingting was happy. He either picked up food for Cen Jing or peeled shrimps at the dinner table. He didn't eat much himself, but he was always taking care of Cen Jing, which made Cen Jing very embarrassed. But seeing other people's smiling faces, he felt relieved.
"Don't be shy. Your uncle Shen and I are very open-minded." Fu Tingzhou saw that he was a little nervous and said with a smile.
"It's okay. Just treat this as your own home." Shen Yunxing also smiled and said, "You have been here several times before. I remember you smiled so cutely at that time. At that time, I thought such a pretty girl would be perfect to be my daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, Cen Jing smiled embarrassedly.
At that time, he was still wearing women's clothes. He thought Uncle Shen and Uncle Fu would mind, but they didn't. They smiled and told him not to be nervous.
After lunch, Cen Jing was called to the study by Shen Yunxing. This made Shen Xingting worried. He always thought that his father was going to embarrass Cen Jing. He was restless in the living room, turning around anxiously, and several people were almost dizzy from his turning.
"Chuanchuan, stop turning around, I'm going to get dizzy if you keep turning around." Fu Xingzhou rubbed his head and said, "Dad is not that kind of person, he won't embarrass Xiao Jing."
Shen Xingting nodded, but still couldn't help looking upstairs worriedly.
In the study upstairs, Cen Jing looked at the things in the brocade box with some embarrassment.
"Uncle Shen, these are too expensive. I can't accept them."
Shen Yunxing smiled. He is 41 years old this year, and his face has hardly changed. There are only a few fine lines at the end of his eyes. He looks a little more mature than when he was in his twenties or thirties.
"Do you think it's a bit exaggerated?" He said with a smile, "The gift your grandfather gave me when we met was much more exaggerated than this. I was afraid that it would scare you when we met for the first time, so I prepared less. I didn't expect that I still scared you."
Cen Jing was really scared. He looked at the house deeds and various jewelry inside, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
Although his family had some money and he had met many dignitaries abroad with Mr. and Mrs. Cen, it was the first time he had seen such a heavy gift for a meeting, and the one who gave the gift was Shen Xingting's father, so he didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, accept it. Your uncle Fu and I have discussed it a long time ago. When the two children find someone to accompany their life, they will be given a sum of money to start living. Zhou Zhou and Jun Jun will also have a share of this." Shen Yunxing said.
Hearing this, Cen Jing couldn't refuse anymore, he nodded and accepted the box.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen, I will keep it well."
Shen Yunxing: "Well, Chuan Chuan is sometimes stubborn, but as long as you say something nice, he will come to you with a smile, and he is still easy to coax."
"Uncle Shen, he has a good temper." Cen Jing said.
Shen Yunxing raised his eyebrows. The younger son has a good temper? He didn't quite agree, but whatever his daughter-in-law said was what it was, as long as the two of them were happy.
"Let's go, if you don't go down, Chuan Chuan will think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you."
Cen Jing nodded.
As soon as the two opened the door, they bumped into Shen Xingting head-on.
"Xiao Jing." He walked to Cen Jing and asked him in a low voice, "My dad didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Shen Yunxing glanced at his silly son, then turned and left.
Here, Cen Jing held up the brocade box and shook his head, saying, "No, Uncle Shen gave us a meeting gift, but this is a bit too expensive, so you should keep it."
When Shen Xingting saw the brocade box, he understood why his father called Cen Jing over, because he had seen this box before. It was prepared by his father and his father-in-law for their future daughter-in-law.
"Of course you can, but this is a gift from my father to his future daughter-in-law. Are you sure you don't want it?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else..."
"Yes, I didn't say no!" Cen Jing held the box in his arms and glared at him warningly, "If you dare to give it to someone else, I will go back to Country Y and never come back."
"Stupid, who else can I give it to except you." Shen Xingting kissed him on the lips and whispered, "I will always belong to you, my dear princess."
Cen Jing smiled with his eyes curved, took the knight's hand and said, "Let's go downstairs, knight."
"Yes, my dear princess."
