Chapter 67 Uncle, you have to keep going!
Ten minutes later, Guan Qing walked out of the shop.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes behind the glasses.
...
When Li Mai got home, she threw the clothes that had been splashed with coffee into a basin.
Chengcheng came over: "Mom, what happened?"
Mom didn't wear this outfit when she left home this morning.
Looking again into the basin, I saw the clothes my mother wore that morning, covered in stains.
Li Mai poured some laundry detergent into the basin and soaked it in water.
Only then did he turn around to answer his son's question.
"My mom accidentally bumped into someone who was holding a coffee, and the coffee spilled on my clothes."
Chengcheng had no doubts.
At such a young age, he was unaware of the dangers of the world.
Li Mai pulled him over and hugged him for a while before going to cook.
She made a simple dinner for the mother and son: two dishes and a soup.
Just as I was about to eat, someone knocked on the door.
Li Mai paused for a moment, then roughly guessed who it was.
She went over and opened the door.
Zhou Songyan was indeed standing outside the door.
The man looked somewhat travel-worn, carrying two bags in his hands.
The moment Zhou Songyan saw Li Mai, his dark eyes were instantly ignited.
Li Mai seemed to be burned and looked away from him.
Zhou Songyan smiled slightly and asked, "Did you miss me?"
Li Mai ignored him and turned to walk towards the restaurant.
Zhou Songyan didn't dwell on the issue; he just wanted to tease Li Mai.
He went inside, threw his things on the floor, and changed his shoes.
"Oh, I've arrived just in time, just in time for lunch."
Li Mai: "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't bring any for you."
Zhou Songyan: "It's my fault, I should have called you earlier. But it's okay, I'll eat less."
He reached out and ruffled Chengcheng's soft hair: "I brought you a toy."
Chengcheng's eyes lit up.
Li Mai eventually went to the kitchen and added another dish.
It was barely enough for the three of them.
After finishing their meal, Zhou Songyan handed one of the bags to Li Mai: "This is for you."
Li Mai refused: "I don't want it."
"Take a look first and then we'll talk."
"No matter what it is, I can't accept it."
Zhou Songyan's expression changed, and he forcefully shoved the things into her arms: "Take it!"
"I'll go wash the dishes."
Zhou Songyan turned and went to the kitchen.
Chengcheng followed him to the kitchen and peered into the doorway, asking, "Uncle, can you wash the dishes?"
Zhou Songyan turned her head and glanced at him: "How could I not know how to wash dishes, something as simple as that?"
Chengcheng smiled and said, "Uncle, please don't break my bowl."
"Don't worry, it won't."
Zhou Songyan poured half a bottle of dish soap into the sink.
Li Mai glanced at it, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.
But she ignored it.
Without even looking at what was in the bag, I put it aside and went to the balcony to wash clothes.
Coffee stains are hard to remove.
Li Mai boiled water, threw the clothes in, and then poured in some explosive salt to soak them.
Li Mai went into the kitchen to get the trash and saw the sink full of bubbles, and frowned slightly.
Zhou Songyan turned to look at her and smiled awkwardly: "I put too much dish soap in."
Li Mai said nothing and left with the trash.
Zhou Songyan spent a long time in the kitchen washing the dishes.
Seeing that the kitchen floor was dirty, he cleaned it up.
When I came out, Li Mai had already thrown away the trash and returned.
Chengcheng sat on the ground fiddling with the toys Zhou Songyan had bought for him.
Zhou Songyan glanced at the untouched bag on the ground, his eyes darkening.
Li Mai walked past him and went to his room.
Zhou Songyan walked to the sofa and sat down, then hesitated for a moment before nudging Chengcheng's shoulder.
Chengcheng turned his head in confusion.
Zhou Songyan: "Do you know what secret your aunt is hiding from me?"
Cheng Cheng: "..."
The little guy was still young and couldn't keep secrets. The fleeting look of surprise on his face made Zhou Songyan even more certain that Li Mai was hiding something from him.
Tell me.
Chengcheng shook his head: "No."
Zhou Songyan coaxed, "I'll buy you a rare, limited-edition airplane model."
"no."
"I'll buy you a rocket model too."
"It still doesn't work."
"A full set of Ultraman costumes."
Chengcheng shook his head, unmoved.
Zhou Songyan asked with a stern face, "What do you want?"
Chengcheng: "I will not betray my aunt."
Zhou Songyan lightly flicked his forehead: "You've been so good to me for nothing."
Chengcheng: "My aunt is the most important person to me."
Zhou Songyan glanced at him: "More important than your parents?"
Chengcheng didn't say anything.
His aunt is his mother.
After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Uncle, you have to keep going."
Zhou Songyan raised an eyebrow: "You help me."
Chengcheng shook his head: "No, you have to rely on yourself. I can't betray my aunt."
Zhou Songyan rolled her eyes at him.
This little nephew is truly devoted to Li Mai.
Li Mai took the clothes and went to the bathroom.
As Zhou Songyan listened to the sound of water coming from inside, his thoughts drifted.
Twenty minutes later, Li Mai came out, dressed in a white nightgown with a small floral pattern. Her hair was loose, her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her almond-shaped eyes were watery.
Noticing the gaze coming from the sofa, she looked up and met Zhou Songyan's intense gaze.
As if burned, she quickly looked away and went back to her room.
She did her skincare routine in the room, lingered for a while, and then finally opened the door and went out.
Zhou Songyan hadn't left yet; he was sitting casually on the sofa.
Chengcheng had already gone into the bathroom to take a shower, leaving only Zhou Songyan in the living room.
Li Mai: "You should go now."
Zhou Songyan stood up.
He was very tall, and his presence in this living room, which was only 20 square meters, seemed particularly out of place.
At this moment, it was just the two of them.
Li Mai's heart began to race.
Zhou Songyan walked towards her and stopped in front of her.
The strong masculine aura is extremely oppressive.
Li Mai turned to go back to her room, but Zhou Songyan grabbed her wrist.
The distance between the two shortened even further.
Zhou Songyan looked down and could clearly see the woman's fair cheeks, pert nose, and bright red, moist lips.
His Adam's apple bobbed twice as he moved closer to Li Mai.
Li Mai's heart pounded, and she dodged him.
"Zhou Songyan, please don't do this."
Zhou Songyan suppressed the urge within him and pulled her into his arms.
"If you won't let me kiss you, can't I at least give you a hug?"
Li Mai struggled for a moment.
A low, deep voice came from above: "Don't move."
"Zhou Songyan, let me go."
"Li Mai, if you move again, I won't be able to bear it."
Li Mai: "..."
She dared not move again.
...
With a snap.
Chengcheng opened the door.
He paused for a moment when he saw the two of them embracing.
Li Mai pushed Zhou Songyan away, her face turning bright red.
Zhou Songyan gave Chengcheng a resentful look.
Why didn't that brat come out a little later? He wanted to hold me a little longer.
Quinoa is soft, smells sweet, and is very easy to hug.
Li Mai was embarrassed when her son saw her and glared at Zhou Songyan.
Chengcheng suppressed a laugh and went back to his room.
Zhou Songyan leaned closer again, opening his arms wide: "Let's hug a little longer."
Li Mai jumped far away from him: "Don't come any closer."
"It's too late, go home quickly!"
Zhou Songyan put down his hand and said somewhat reluctantly, "Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
He went to the door to change his shoes.
Li Mai: "Take that bag."
Zhou Songyan didn't look up: "I won't take back what I give away. If you don't want it, just throw it in the trash."
