Chapter 76
Shu Jinye tried every possible means to stay at Xiao Zhuang's house until night before he was willing to leave.
Shu Jinye couldn't stop smiling as he held the tea cakes that Xiao Zhuang had given him.
"Master, why are you so happy?"
There was no reply from the other end, and the assistant said helplessly, "Master, you didn't do anything this afternoon, and now the work has piled up even more."
"It's okay, just go back and work overtime in the evening."
As soon as he returned to Shu's house, Shu Jinye couldn't wait to rush into his study, took out the tea cake from his arms, and carefully placed it in the most conspicuous position in the display cabinet.
"Assistant Liu, quickly find my tea set."
"Hey..." Special Assistant Liu was holding the light screen and waiting for Shu Jinye to start working quickly. Now looking at his expression, does he look like he wants to work at all?
The tea set was brought to the coffee table, and Shu Jinye couldn't wait to boil water to brew it. He gently pinched a little and put it into the teacup. The moment the hot water poured over the tea leaves, the overbearing tea aroma instantly swept the whole room.
The taste alone is delightful.
He brought the teacup to his nose and sniffed it, "This tea is definitely not ordinary." Shu Jinye wanted to take a sip instantly.
"Master, wait a minute. Master Xiaojiang and Mr. Jiang have repeatedly warned us not to drink this."
"Why can't I drink it? Isn't tea meant to be drunk?" Shu Jinye didn't believe it and was about to take a sip.
"Wait." Special Assistant Liu was worried so he took out a testing pen to make sure that this thing was not poisonous.
Seeing him like this, Shu Jinye let him do as he pleased.
Special Assistant Liu carefully poured out some tea and gently tapped the test pen into it several times, but there was no response at all.
"I said, how could there be a problem?"
After saying that, Shu Jinye drank the tea, the aroma of tea filling his mouth: "It's really good tea."
Seeing his satisfied look, Special Assistant Liu was eager to drink. His desire to drink was clearly written on his face. He was too embarrassed to ask, "Master, can I have a taste too?"
Shu Jinye frowned slightly, clearly reluctant, but after thinking it over, he poured him a glass and said, "Okay."
"This tea is really delicious. I have never tasted such delicious tea."
Little did he know that after returning home, Special Assistant Liu had diarrhea all night.
He couldn't understand why Shu Jinye was fine.
After Special Assistant Liu left, Shu Jinye sat in the study. He couldn't help but make himself a few more cups. "I might as well send some to my family later."
In the Shu family's living room.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, this is the tea my friend gave me, come and try it."
Father Shu took a sip, and his eyes were completely different from before. "This tea is really good. Where did you get it from?"
"A friend gave it to me. I only have five loaves here, but I thought it was good, so I sent it to you."
"Well, not bad." Grandma Shu also praised it highly.
The whole family is having a great time in the living room.
In the evening, Shu Jinye sent a message to Jiang Chen to express his gratitude.
[Mr. Jiang, your tea is delicious. Thank you.]
Jiang Chen leaned on the bed and stared at the information in the terminal. He didn't expect that Shu Jinye would actually drink.
After staring at the read but unanswered messages for a long time, and not getting any reply from Jiang Chen, Shu Jinye sighed and curled up in the quilt to sleep.
The next day, Shu Jinye was still wondering why he couldn't find Assistant Liu. He asked the company and found out that Assistant Liu didn't come to work. He said he was not feeling well and went to the hospital for a check-up.
Special Assistant Liu was sitting on the toilet in the hospital ward. He looked pale and had lost all his energy after a night of tossing and turning. He raised his hand and tremblingly sent a message to Shu Jinye.
[Master, you must never drink that tea again.]
【Why? 】
Special Assistant Liu told about his diarrhea yesterday.
"I'm fine, right? The same goes for my family. Your health is terrible. You should exercise more in the future."
Special Assistant Liu: ...
[Young Master, please don't use this tea to entertain guests. Just drink it yourself...]
Shu Jinye glanced at it casually and didn't take it seriously.
Mr. Shu was still immersed in the aroma of tea. He drank a quarter of it by himself this morning. Seeing that the tea was getting less and less, he hurried to find his son.
"Son, who gave you this tea? Can you buy some more from him?"
"This...I want to ask, but my friend will come to my exhibition next week." Shu Jinye's words revealed shyness, like a big boy who has just come to his senses.
Mr. Shu can't wait that long. He will probably finish the tea in less than three days.
"Can you go faster?"
"This..." Shu Jinye was a little worried. He knew that this was Jiang Chen's collection and there probably weren't many left.
At this time, the old lady's assistant whispered to her, and the old lady suddenly remembered something.
"Wait, Jin'er, what's your relationship with the person who delivered the tea?"
She didn't miss the innocent expression on her grandson's face just now.
Special Assistant Liu had secretly reported before, saying that the young master seemed to have someone he liked.
When Shu Jinye was asked this by his grandmother, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't want to call Jiang Chen his friend. He liked Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang, and he wanted to be more than just friends.
"He's a major customer of the company."
"So that's how it is..." Grandma Shu was still worried.
"I heard that you've been particularly interested in a single father with a child recently. You're so young, I absolutely won't allow you to have such thoughts."
Shu Jinye was a little angry when he heard his grandmother say that, "I'm already 18."
"No means no. If you don't obey, I'll break your legs."
"Grandma, how can you say such things?"
"Do you know how old he is? His son is almost three years old. Are you in a hurry to become someone else's stepfather?"
"He's only 24... Even if he's my stepfather, so what? I just like him."
Grandma Shu: “…”
"Don't you want the shares anymore?"
"It's up to you whether you want to give it or not."
Grandma Shu's family had only this one grandson who was able to make her proud, and now he was about to go astray. She couldn't help but act like an old man and pretend to cry, "Why is my life so miserable~"
"I just like him, no one can persuade me."
"Why did you start arguing when everything was fine?" Father Shu was used to his mother's crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, so he simply chose to ignore her.
"Oh, son, don't forget what I told you. Bring me some more tea. I don't even have enough to drink."
Shu's mother remained oblivious to the situation the entire time. While the situation was going on over there, she was still browsing the auction website. "I saw our Jin'er bought quite a few good items a while ago. I wonder where all these good things have come from recently. Maybe there will be more next time. Jin'er, I'll go with you next time."
"Okay, okay." Shu Jinye ignored his grandmother and his father and sat down next to his mother.
Father Shu: “…”
Shu Nai: “…”
The assistant beside him was trying to hold back his laughter. Everyone in this family was acting in their own way.
In the end, Shu's father took away all the remaining tea leaves of Shu Jinye.
That afternoon, the matter of Shu Jinye liking Jiang Chen came to nothing.
*
I didn’t expect that the hardest part would come after the trip.
Every moment and every second at home, Long Qi Che wanted to run away from home and find Xiao Jiang.
He covered himself in the quilt with a disgusted look on his face.
Seeing his beloved son return to his old self, Father Long was extremely worried. "Xiao Che, how about Daddy take you out to play?"
"No."
Long Qi Che didn't sleep well last night and is feeling annoyed now.
"But you're obviously unhappy. Daddy is worried about you. Where do you want to go? Daddy will take you wherever you want."
Long Qiche thought for a moment and then said, "If I go out... I want to play with the little zombie."
Seeing his son let go, Dad Long breathed a sigh of relief. At least his son was willing to go out.
"I'll call Father Jiang right away."
Jiang Chen was reading a book when his terminal suddenly rang. It was a video call from Long's father, so he picked up the call.
On the other side of the video, Father Long was wearing home clothes, his handsome face looking at Jiang Chen, "Hello, Father Jiang."
"Hello, Dragon Dad."
"It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but my little Che wants to go over and play with little Zhuang."
At this time, Xiao Zhuang had just finished class. He came down from upstairs holding Little Bear and Rabbit Butler.
Seeing his father on a video call with an uncle he knew, he ran over happily.
In the video, only the ahoge on the top of Long Dad's head can be seen, approaching him little by little.
The little zombie was lying in front of the holographic video. Long Qiche could only see half of his face. His bright eyes were fixed on the screen. He pointed at the screen and said happily, "Xiao Che..."
Father Long smiled and said, "The little zombie is here."
"Hello, uncle."
Seeing the little zombie in the video, Long Qi Che quickly sat up in bed. He felt that his behavior was not very polite, so he adjusted his pajamas and crawled to sit next to his father.
Dad Long turned the video to face his son so that the two children could talk to each other.
"Little Zombie, can I come and play with you?" Seeing the little zombie, Long Qi Che's ears turned slightly red.
Xiao Zhuang smiled at the camera and turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Dad, Xiao Che, come over and play, okay?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, we'll be waiting for you."
Jiang Chen always spoke with a classical flavor, honorifics rarely heard in the interstellar era, and Long Dad found it soothing.
"Thank you so much, I'll take the child there in a moment."
"See you later, uncle."
Jiang Chen sent the location to Long's father.
Long Qi Che quickly got up and tidied himself up, clamoring to take a shower and change clothes.
"Xiao Che, why are you so active?"
"nothing."
The father and son sat in a limited edition luxury car and arrived at the location given by Jiang Chen.
On the way here, Father Long began to exclaim, "This is so beautiful. There are so many stone statues on the roadside. It's really unique."
Even though the Long family was the richest and had seen everything in the world, they were still speechless with amazement after entering the house.
"It turns out that Xiaojiang's house is so beautiful..."
Dad Long thought that Jiang Chen was just an ordinary single father who lived in an apartment building, but it seemed that it was completely the opposite of what he thought.
After entering the room, Xiao Zhuang took the initiative to pull Long Qi Che's hand, "Xiao Che, let's play together."
Long Qi Che was in a good mood as the little zombie was holding his hand.
His snobbish father loves antique things and there are many good things in the collection room at home. His father also tried to decorate it in ancient style, but after the decoration, it looks out of place and is not as natural as Xiao Zhuang's house.
After entering Xiao Zhuang's house, he was also shocked and speechless, "Your house is so beautiful."
"Xiao Che likes it and comes to play every day."
"good."
This time, Mr. Long brought Long Qi Che and the family bodyguards with him. Jiang Chen brought them into the reception room to entertain them.
Xiao Zhuang took Long Qi Che to his room to play. He was still young and slept with his father every day. His room was full of toys.
After opening the door, the little zombie rushed towards the playground, wanting Long Qi Che to play hide-and-seek with him.
After playing with Xiao Zhuang for a while, Long Qi Che felt sleepy. He fell asleep on the cushion with a groggy head and couldn't wake up.
Xiao Zhuang was hiding and found that Long Qi Che did not come to find him. He leaned out and found Long Qi Che lying on the mat.
The pink rabbit housekeeper also hurried over, fearing that something had happened to the child.
"Master Long, what's this?"
Xiao Zhuang put his finger to his lips, "Shh, Xiao Che is asleep."
He tiptoed over and brought his small quilt to gently cover Long Qi Che.
