"Hey, I'll do it myself."
Chen Man tried to take the thing from his hand, but Xu Junyang avoided her.
"Don't move, this is a bit heavy, let me carry it."
"It's not that heavy. There are so many people in your family." Chen Man followed him carrying the last box.
"Well, my parents are back."
"Your parents are back, and so many people are here to watch the fun? They're like big stars."
"Where do you put the things?" he asked her as he entered the main room.
Chen Man walked towards the room opposite her grandmother's room, "This one."
"We were just out for a walk, and my parents happened to come back, so we got together."
Chen Man glanced at him, clearly unconvinced, "Your dad is quite handsome."
Xu Junyang raised his eyebrows, "My dad is quite handsome?"
"Yeah, handsome, handsome uncle."
"Handsome...uncle? Girls like my dad's type, the older one?"
Chen Man: ...Does anyone talk about their father like this?
"How can he be called old? He has the charm of a mature man. Girls like this type nowadays. He has a successful career and is mature and steady."
"Who's more handsome, me or my dad?" Xu Junyang wanted to ask, "Do you like my dad too?" But then he thought, this question is wrong. There's no way back, it's a bit out of place.
In a dimly lit room, Chen Man looked up and observed Xu Junyang's face carefully. He looked like he was thinking seriously.
"I think, well, from my point of view, you are beautiful. But..."
"But what?"
"But you know, from what I know about young girls nowadays, they may like your youthfulness, but if given a choice, many would choose your dad's mature style. They think it's tiring to accompany a boy growing up, and there's no guarantee of a good outcome."
As Chen Man was talking, she suddenly blurted out her true feelings. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had said too much.
Xu Junyang seemed to be pondering, and just as he was about to say, "Do you think I'm mature?", his tone suddenly changed.
I'm afraid she'll feel embarrassed. The timing isn't right yet, and saying these words now would be too ambiguous. I don't want to scare her away.
"No matter how handsome my dad is, forget it. He belongs to my mom."
Chen Man was speechless. "...Who thought about it? I was talking about others, did I talk about myself? There's such a handsome guy in front of me, and I want to be his stepmother? I'm sick!"
"No, you're not sick. You're very different from other girls. You're very special."
Chen Man didn't realize what was wrong with her words yet, "Hmph~".
Xu Junyang suddenly burst into laughter.
"Didn't you say that people nowadays don't want to grow up with others? Why are you different?"
"Well, that's because it's not necessarily the case that younger people are immature and older people are reliable. We still have to analyze each case individually."
She was truly too clueless, every word she said was an opportunity for someone to take advantage of her. If he had been a bit meaner, he would have chased her down and asked, "So, do you mean you think I'm mature?"
Xu Junyang stopped laughing and changed the subject, "Why did you buy these firecrackers? Do you dare to light them?"
"I dare. When the time comes, you can listen to it too. Just think of it as a thank you for helping me move in."
Xu Junyang: "...Thank you."
"Yeah, I should."
Xu Junyang returned to his home. Chen Man stared at his back and felt that he was in a particularly good mood today. Or was he just joking?
