"Huh?!" Zhu Jinzhao exclaimed in surprise, "You're that anti-fan uncle!"
“No,” Shi Fei corrected her. “My online name is ‘I’m Not a Hater,’ so it should be ‘Uncle Not a Hater.’ But I still think it’s better if you call me Uncle Shi.”
Zhu Jinchao: "Okay, Uncle Shi!"
Shi Fei turned slightly to the side and gestured for her to come in: "Come in and play."
Wishing you well today.
"Uncle Shi." Qin Ming finally found an opportunity to greet Shi Fei.
"Hmm." Shi Fei's smile vanished instantly, and he responded with a serious and cold tone.
Ning Shi: "Uncle Shi, it's been a long time!"
Shi Fei smiled slightly: "Long time no see, Xiao Shi. Uncle Shi has been a bit busy lately. I'll treat you to a proper meal after I'm done with this busy period."
"Okay!" Ning Shi nodded.
"Hello, Uncle Shi," Jiang Jingwen said last.
"Hello, little Jiang." Shi Fei's eyebrows curved slightly, and his attitude towards Jiang Jingwen was even more amiable than towards Ning Shi.
Although he stopped speaking in a high-pitched voice, it was enough to put Jiang Jingwen at ease.
"Uncle, you know me?" Jiang Jingwen was both surprised and delighted.
Shi Fei: "I know you. I even joined your fan club."
"Wow!" Jiang Jingwen exclaimed, "Uncle is so trendy! He even joined a fan club!"
“Hey…” Shi Fei waved his hand, looking a little helpless. “Uncle is just getting older, it’s not like he doesn’t use a phone anymore.”
"Hahahaha!" Everyone in the courtyard was amused by him.
"Young Master," Qin Ming nudged Shi Jing's shoulder, then leaned close to his ear and asked incredulously, "What's wrong with your father tonight? Why is he being so unusually kind and amiable?"
“Sigh…” Shi Jing sighed softly, his ambiguous gaze falling on Zhu Jinzhao with a smile. “It’s all because Chaochao is here. He knows what I mean to Chaochao, so he tries his best to establish a kind and gentle elder image in front of Chaochao so that Chaochao won’t be so nervous.”
"Oh my god..." Qin Ming looked astonished. "Your dad is already this kind when Jinzhao just comes over as a friend. If you and Jinzhao really get together and Jinzhao formally comes to meet your parents, how kind will your dad be?"
"The once decisive and efficient bandit Shi has turned into a high-pitched, affected girl."
"Hmph..." Shi Jing pursed her lips and chuckled, "He's just afraid that Jinzhao will be scared away by his fierce appearance, that's why he's like this. Please understand him, he's thinking about my future."
Qin Ming: "I understand, I understand completely. I'm just a little shocked because I've never seen Uncle Shi like this before."
"Come on, let's all go inside and have some fun." After exchanging pleasantries, Shi Fei invited the group inside.
"Woof woof..."
"Woof woof..."
As soon as they stepped into the yard, a Samoyed wearing a bright red floral jacket ran out of the living room, barking happily.
The Samoyed is pure white with fluffy fur, and when it runs over, it looks like a snowball come to life.
"Laifu." Shi Jing beckoned to the Samoyed, and the Samoyed whimpered and pounced on Shi Jing, then clung to him, jumping and rubbing against him.
"You little rascal, you've gotten fatter again!" Shi Jing said with a hint of disgust, but his hands kept rubbing Laifu's head and he couldn't bear to take them off.
Laifu had finished pawing at him, so it jumped off and circled around Qin Ming and Ning Shi twice. After that, it jumped straight to Zhu Jinzhao, circling around Zhu Jinzhao's feet, wagging its tail, and whining "woof woof woof" while being affectionate.
Zhu Jinzhao raised a hand and carefully stroked the dog's head, then softly called out, "Laifu?"
"Waaaaah..."
Lai Fu responded to her incoherently, then jumped up and pounced on her, licking and rubbing against her, his playful behavior even more intense than when he first met Shi Jing.
"Wow, this dog is amazing!" Qin Ming exclaimed from the side. "Even it knows who the main character is today."
“That’s right,” Ning Shi chimed in. “When it saw me, it just wagged its tail perfunctorily, but when it saw Chaochao, it excitedly pounced on her. Tsk, double standards!”
"Alright, Laifu." Seeing that Zhu Jinzhao was being pounced on and couldn't defend himself, Shi Jing quickly stepped forward, grabbed Laifu's ear, and pulled it away.
Laifu was very clever. As soon as Shijing made this move, it knew what it meant and immediately stopped pouncing on people, but it still followed behind Zhu Jinzhao.
Shi Jing looked at the bright red floral jacket on Laifu's body, his face full of disdain: "Dad, did you buy Laifu these new clothes?"
“Yes,” Shi Fei said with a hint of pride. “I specifically asked Aunt Zhang to go out and buy it for it this afternoon.”
"It's so ugly." Shi Jing frowned and complained, "It's one thing to have floral patterns, but why is it bright red?"
Shi Fei: "Bright red is festive, and it has to be dressed festively on a day like today."
"...What day is it?" Zhu Jinzhao asked curiously.
Shi Jing squinted: "...Of course, it's a day to welcome you."
Then, turning to look at the front door, he unsurprisingly saw two stone lions draped with red silk.
"...You even dressed up the stone lions?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Shi Fei said confidently, “I not only decorated the stone lions in the front yard, but also the ones in the back yard. I spent the whole afternoon working on it.”
"..."
Shi Jing didn't know what to say, so he could only give his father a thumbs up.
Shi Fei raised an eyebrow, looking smug: "Come on, Chaochao, let's go inside and sit down."
Zhu Jinchao kept smiling and said, "Okay."
Shi Jing: "Watch out for the steps..."
The news that Zhu Jinzhao was coming to visit had already spread throughout the Shi family this afternoon. At this time, all the servants of the Shi family were waiting at the door. As soon as Zhu Jinzhao arrived, they all bowed in unison and said warmly, "Welcome, Miss Jinzhao."
"..."
Such a grand display left Zhu Jinzhao stunned.
"..." Shi Jing silently rubbed his forehead, feeling like his head was about to explode.
"Miss Jinzhao." The aunt at the head of the group stepped forward with small, quick steps, took a brand-new pair of pink bow slippers from the shoe cabinet, and personally placed them at Zhu Jinzhao's feet.
"Slippers have been prepared; Miss Jinchao can wear them directly."
Zhu Jinzhao: "...Thank you."
Under her aunt's watchful gaze, she took off her own shoes and nervously and awkwardly put on the pink slippers.
The aunt was very satisfied and respectfully said "Please come in" before taking out the other slippers for the people outside to change into.
Zhu Jinzhao subconsciously turned around to look, only to find that she was the only one with pink slippers with bows, while everyone else had plain black slippers.
