Chapter 43 You Seem to Be Calling for Mom
While Li Mai was pondering, Chengcheng lied in a serious tone: "Call her aunt."
Zhou Songyan frowned: "That's not right."
Chengcheng: "I called her 'Auntie,' what did you hear that as?"
Zhou Songyan: "It seems you are calling for your mother."
Chengcheng scoffed, "Impossible! Uncle, are you hearing things or hallucinating? I clearly called for Auntie."
"Really? Did I hear you wrong?"
"Yes, you misheard."
Li Mai: "..."
She admires her son.
Good self-control.
Zhou Songyan frowned, but stopped worrying about it.
How could Chengcheng call Li Mai "Mom"? He's Li Mai's son, and Li Mai's brother even came here last time.
He took out a pair of men's slippers, placed them on the ground, and put them on after taking off his own shoes.
Li Mai: "..."
Cheng Cheng: "..."
Zhou Songyan changed her shoes and went inside.
Li Mai hadn't even noticed that she was holding a pair of slippers.
Chengcheng walked over and examined Zhou Songyan's slippers: "Uncle, did you buy these?"
Zhou Songyan looked up at Li Mai, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance: "There's nothing I can do, no one helped me prepare, so I have to buy it myself."
He asked his assistant to buy it before he left work.
Every time I come to Heyun Community, I walk barefoot on the paved tiles, which is uncomfortable.
Li Mai looked away.
Then I found this person ridiculous.
"Mr. Zhou, do you mean you'll be a regular customer at my place from now on?"
Zhou Songyan: "Didn't you tell me to come and keep Chengcheng company?"
Li Mai: "..."
She couldn't refute it.
She wanted Zhou Songyan to spend more time with Chengcheng.
but……
Li Mai glanced at the still bright sky outside and said, "Then I'd like to trouble President Zhou to take Chengcheng downstairs to play. He's been cooped up at home all day and is bored. He needs to get some fresh air and exercise."
"Chengcheng, go change your shoes."
Chengcheng looked at Zhou Songyan, then at Li Mai, and chose to listen to Li Mai.
Zhou Songyan wanted to spend more time with Li Mai, but was suddenly assigned a task.
He looked at her with a resentful expression.
In the end, she got up and walked towards the door, taking Chengcheng downstairs.
The house suddenly became quiet, and without that oppressive feeling, Li Mai felt much more comfortable.
I changed into a beige loungewear set and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
It seems Zhou Songyan is going to have dinner here, and considering he's spending time with Chengcheng, she reluctantly brought him his share.
Li Mai looked in the refrigerator and put together four dishes and a soup.
Braised chicken with edamame, pan-fried cod, stir-fried shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with garlic chives, and winter melon and pork rib soup.
...
Chengcheng led Zhou Songyan for a walk in the neighborhood.
Several women were stunned when they saw a tall, handsome man with an exceptional aura appear in the neighborhood.
When did such a stunningly handsome man appear in their neighborhood?
I really want to strike up a conversation.
pity……
The handsome guy became a father; he's raising a child.
They've become mothers too, so they don't have the chance.
But it's good to feast your eyes on it.
Zhou Songyan stopped as he passed a children's playground.
"Chengcheng, we've arrived."
Chengcheng ignored him and went to the gym for seniors to hang from the pole.
The little guy moved around very fast on it.
Zhou Songyan raised an eyebrow, walked over, and leaped onto the highest bar, asking Chengcheng, "A competition?"
Chengcheng nodded.
Zhou Songyan shouted, "Start!"
Chengcheng started moving his little arms.
Zhou Songyan gave him a few seconds to start.
When Chengcheng reached the finish line, he turned to look at Zhou Songyan and found that Zhou Songyan had already reached the finish line.
His little face hardened, and he looked a little unhappy.
"One more time."
Zhou Songyan smiled and said, "Okay."
But this time, Chengcheng still lost.
He was a little annoyed.
Zhou Songyan rubbed his head: "It's a bit unfair for an adult like me to compete with you."
"Chengcheng, you've already done a great job."
Chengcheng turned to look at him.
Is this encouragement from Dad?
It feels pretty good.
Wow! So handsome!
"I wish my husband was this handsome."
"I'd be content if my husband were half as handsome as him. Look at him, he's handsome, in great shape, and has great stamina."
"Good husbands always belong to other people. Sisters, don't compare yourselves. You'll only make yourself miserable."
"I won't be able to eat with my husband for the next month."
"I probably won't be able to eat anything for the next three months."
Suddenly, several women appeared nearby, chattering away.
Chengcheng was a little unhappy when he saw them looking at his father with strange eyes, so he pulled Zhou Songyan away.
Zhou Songyan also disliked the way those women looked at him, and it gave him goosebumps.
She decisively followed Chengcheng.
"Chengcheng, let's go home."
He wanted to go home and spend some time with Li Mai.
Chengcheng: "No, Auntie will scold us if we go back too early."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Chengcheng ran ten laps around the neighborhood.
He usually runs five laps, but today he realized that the gap between him and his father is too big, and he needs to practice more.
So I added five more laps to my routine.
Zhou Songyan followed behind.
With his long legs, he doesn't need to run; he can keep up with Chengcheng just by walking.
Li Mai called Chengcheng and asked them to come home for dinner.
Chengcheng turned to look at Zhou Songyan: "Auntie is calling us for dinner."
Zhou Songyan raised an eyebrow.
Go home for dinner.
Li Mai cooked the meal and called him home for dinner.
He liked this feeling.
It was as if he were also a member of this little family.
Back upstairs, Chengcheng took out his key and opened the door.
Zhou Songyan stared at the key: "Chengcheng, can I borrow your key?"
Chengcheng didn't rush to turn the lock, but turned to look at him: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Songyan: "I want to have a key made."
"no."
"Why?"
"You're not part of our family, so why do you need a key to our house?"
"It will be like that in the future."
"We'll talk about it later."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
This child is not easily fooled.
Chengcheng opened the door and went inside.
Li Mai brought out a plate of braised chicken with edamame and saw that Chengcheng's clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Go take a shower, don't catch a cold."
Chengcheng obediently walked towards the bathroom.
Zhou Songyan entered the room and closed the door.
He was a little annoyed that Li Mai ignored him.
Li Mai only cared about Chengcheng and didn't talk to him at all.
Li Mai went into the kitchen, and he followed her in.
The small kitchen was too cramped for two people, and Zhou Songyan was tall and big.
Li Mai turned around and bumped into him.
As the soft, fragrant body pressed against him, Zhou Songyan shuddered, his throat tingled, and a surge of heat rose within him.
Li Mai quickly stepped back, keeping her distance from him.
Her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare look at Zhou Songyan. She turned around and took two plates of food out.
Zhou Songyan reluctantly withdrew his gaze from her and took the remaining dishes out.
The quinoa-cooked dishes smell so good!
He was drooling.
Just then, his phone rang.
He walked to the restaurant, put down the plate, and took out his phone to answer the call.
Guan Qing: "Songyan, I'm at your door. I bought groceries to cook for you. Come and open the door for me."
Zhou Songyan frowned: "I'm not home."
Guan Qing was extremely disappointed.
When are you coming back?
"It will be very late."
"I'm waiting for you."
"No need, I'm having dinner at my girlfriend's house."
