Before Chen Yao could reply, Ms. Lin had already answered her own question: "It just so happens that we have some supplements at home that are very suitable for the elderly. Let Chi Ye take some back to the elderly. Come on, everyone, come in. Lunch will be ready in a while."
Chen Yao followed Ms. Lin in front, and Chi Ye followed behind them.
When she occasionally looked back, she could still meet his calm gaze.
In the living room, Ms. Lin had someone bring over the freshly brewed tea and said to Chi Ye, "Try it. I don't know if you can get used to it."
After taking a sip, Chi Ye said, "It tastes great, thank you, Auntie."
Ms. Lin smiled and said, "Okay, drink slowly. I'll go to the kitchen and come back. Yaoyao, you stay here and talk to Chi Ye."
Chen Yao responded.
After she left, Chen Yao slowly drank the tea in her hand and looked at Chi Ye, who was sitting across the coffee table from her.
Chi Ye said: "The atmosphere in your home is very good."
Chen Yao: "My mom is easier to talk to, but my dad is more serious. He's been away on a business trip overseas lately. If he were here today, he'd probably be sitting here right now...quickly asking you a question or two."
Chi Ye was somewhat interested: "So what will he ask?"
Chen Yao: "It's probably about asking about your usual hobbies and what you're busy with, and whether you prefer outdoor activities or staying at home in your free time, and then expand on that."
Chi Ye asked: "Do you rarely bring friends home?"
Chen Yao: "Well, besides you, I've only ever taken Lu Zhiwei with me."
When she mentioned this, she remembered the first time she brought Lu Zhiwei home to play. They were having an open-air barbecue in the yard. Her father came home from work and suddenly appeared. His naturally serious expression scared Lu Zhiwei.
I wonder if Chi Ye would be as shocked as Lu Zhiwei if he saw her father for the first time.
While she was thinking, Chi Ye smiled and said, "My pleasure."
Ms. Lin came back a short while later and told them with a smile, "Lunch will be served soon."
......
When Chi Ye left, he was sent off by the Shen family's driver.
After he left, Ms. Lin asked Chen Yao about the paintings she had collected during her retreat: "I want to see those paintings you showed me on WeChat. How about that? You should have packed them up and brought them back, right?"
Chen Yao: "Well, I brought them all back. I'll unpack them and put them in the studio later."
Ms. Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Chen Yao paused when she thought of Chi Ye's portrait among those paintings.
Ms. Lin noticed and raised an eyebrow. "Why? Did you draw something else that's not allowed to be seen?"
Chen Yao smiled, which was not too bad.
Luckily... she only drew a portrait, not... ahem, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight-pack abs or anything like that...
But in fact, when they arrived at the studio, Ms. Lin did not ask her to take out all the paintings. She only picked out two that she wanted to see the most: an untitled painting about the night sky and a painting called "Eternity".
However, when she saw the painting of the night sky, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
The little figure in the painting that is pulled away seems to be more and more familiar the more I look at it?
