Chapter 27 Chi Chi is both sensible and filial
Zhang Liya pulled Chi Cheng to the door. Then, as if she had just remembered something, she turned around and shouted at Wu Suowei, who was still standing there like a statue: "Daqiong! What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and find slippers for Xiao Chi! The new pair of slippers!"
Wu Suowei: ...
He mechanically lowered his arms, looked at Chi Cheng who was warmly welcomed into the house by his mother and treated like a "son", and then looked at himself, the "son" who was forgotten at the door, and a wave of grief and indignation surged in his heart.
Chi Cheng was pulled by Zhang Liya, with a gentle and polite smile on his face: "Don't bother Auntie, I can do it myself."
The tone was extremely humble.
"Hey, Chi Chi, don't be polite with Auntie!" Zhang Liya laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She turned around and glared at Wu Suowei, "Da Qiong! Hurry up!"
Wu Suowei gnashed his teeth, holding back his anger. He rushed into the house, rummaged through the drawers and found the brand new pair of gray slippers. He threw them forcefully at Chi Cheng's feet, lowering his voice and squeezing out the words, "Chi Cheng! When did you kidnap my mother?!"
Chi Cheng bent down to change his shoes gracefully. He raised his head and blinked innocently at Wu Suowei, shrugged his shoulders, and mouthed silently: I don't have any~
That expression is so annoying.
Zhang Liya didn't notice their little movements and called out, "Chichi, please sit down and drink some water. Auntie's food will be ready soon!"
After saying that, he rushed into the kitchen.
Chi Cheng changed his shoes and walked towards the kitchen without sitting down: "Auntie, let me help you make dinner."
"Oh, no, no! How can I let you do that!" Zhang Liya's voice came from the kitchen.
"It's okay, Auntie. I just want to learn it. It will be useful in the future." Chi Cheng's voice was gentle and firm.
Wu Suowei stood in the living room, watching Chi Cheng's tall figure squeeze into the small kitchen and clumsily try to help his mother wash and cut vegetables.
He was obviously clumsy in his movements and was so careful when cutting a cucumber that he almost cut his hand. Zhang Liya was startled and kept saying, "Let me do it."
Chi Cheng persisted, saying, "You'll learn it if you try."
Wu Suowei looked at the scene, and the sadness and anger in his heart inexplicably subsided a lot.
Chi Cheng... also has this clumsy yet persistent side?
To...learn how to cook?
His mind flashed back to Chi Cheng's cold, luxurious villa filled with reptiles and pets. He imagined Chi Cheng frantically working in the kitchen with an apron on...
That scene was so incongruous, and inexplicably a little... funny?
The corners of Wu Suowei's mouth uncontrollably curved upwards into a small arc.
The next second, he suddenly realized!
Damn! Wu Suowei!
What are you laughing at?! Stand up!
Don't forget your big plan!
Make money! Stay away from Chi Cheng! And that damned Huang Long from my previous life!
He still has a white moonlight! Why are you grinning at his clumsy appearance?!
He quickly tensed his face and pursed his lips tightly, trying to suppress the inappropriate smile that had just appeared.
At this moment, Chi Cheng, who was clumsily chopping vegetables in the kitchen, seemed to sense his gaze. He raised his head and glanced at him inadvertently through the kitchen door frame.
There seemed to be some water droplets on his forehead from cutting vegetables just now. He subconsciously wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, and then gave Wu Suowei a smile that was a little helpless and a little... silly?
Then he lowered his head again and continued to struggle with the dish in his hand.
Wu Suowei's heart seemed to be gently bumped by something.
Looking at that smile, looking at Chi Cheng trying hard to help in their small kitchen, and then looking at the smile on his mother's face that came from the heart and showed her love for Chi Cheng...
Wu Suowei's tense shoulders relaxed unconsciously.
The string in my heart, which had been taut for a long time, seemed to loosen a little.
He looked away, looked out the window, and sighed almost inaudibly, as if he was compromising with himself, or as if he was helplessly accepting his fate.
“…Let’s talk about it later.”
The food was served and the aroma was fragrant.
Zhang Liya greeted him warmly, constantly serving food to Chi Cheng, with the braised pork piled high. "Chi Chi, eat more! Look at you, you've lost weight from working so hard!"
"Thank you, Auntie." Chi Cheng thanked her politely, picked up the serving chopsticks, and also picked up a large piece of pork ribs and put it in Zhang Liya's bowl, "Auntie, you eat too, you've worked hard cooking."
"Oh, this child is so sensible!" Zhang Liya smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Wu Suowei held the bowl, looking at the empty table in front of him, then at the mountain of meat in Chi Cheng's bowl, then at the piece of pork ribs that Chi Cheng had picked up in his mother's bowl...
He felt like an unnecessary and invisible person!
He angrily picked up a piece of vegetables with his chopsticks and chewed it hard, his eyes moving back and forth between Chi Cheng and his mother with resentment.
While eating, Wu Suowei suddenly had an idea in his mind.
wrong!
How did Chi Cheng know his home address? And how did he know the way so well?
In this life, it was useless to hide from Chi Cheng after his rebirth, and he had not been hiding from Chi Cheng recently like he had done in his previous life.
Chi Cheng no longer needs to find Jiang Xiaoshuai to inquire about his whereabouts like he did in his previous life.
Moreover, judging from the mother's familiar attitude, it was obviously not Chi Cheng's first time here.
Then... it could only be that Chi Cheng came here on his own initiative! And he's been here many times!
How did he know the address?
When did he come?
Why have I never heard my mother mention it?
A chill ran up my spine.
In this life, Chi Cheng's understanding of him was much deeper and earlier than he had imagined.
Wu Suowei was filled with doubts and anxieties and could no longer eat.
No, he had to find out what was going on.
Ask Chi Cheng directly?
Come on, if Chi Cheng wanted to tell him, he would have told him long ago.
Then... I can only ask my mom.
He put down the bowl and stood up as if nothing had happened: "Mom, I'll go get a bottle of drink. Chi Cheng, what would you like to drink? How about orange juice?"
"All right, thank you." Chi Cheng nodded.
Wu Suowei walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and rummaged through it slowly.
At the dinner table, Zhang Liya was still asking Chi Cheng about his well-being, and Chi Cheng responded calmly.
Suddenly, Wu Suowei's voice came from the kitchen, "Mom, where is the drink? I can't find it."
Zhang Liya thought for a moment and replied, "It's in the refrigerator, right?"
"No!"
Zhang Liya snorted, "Tsk!" This kid can't even find anything. What's he going to do when he gets married?
It seems that I need to exercise Daqiong well in the future. When I find a wife in the future, I can't just rely on others to take care of me, right?
Zhang Liya kindly told Chi Cheng to eat in peace, then she got up and went to the kitchen, "Where can you find it? It should be in the refrigerator..."
The opportunity has come!
Wu Suowei turned sideways to make room for Zhang Liya, then pretended to be calm and asked softly.
"Mom, um...when did Chi Cheng come here before?"
As he spoke, he seemed to observe Zhang Liya's expression unintentionally.
Zhang Liya glanced at Wu Suowei with disdain. "It's been over half a month. He comes over to chat for a few minutes and then leaves. But he always comes back with a lot of bags and a little roll. Speaking of which, this little Chi is really sensible and filial!"
More than half a month... Doesn't that mean Chi Cheng had been to his house before he was reborn?!
A chill came over me.
Whether in the past life or this life...
At that time, it was impossible for Chi Cheng to recognize himself!
