Chapter 88
"Hurry up and send the old lady to the medical room." Shu Jinye gave orders from the side.
Seeing that Shu Jinye still had a lot of things to do, Jiang Chen took the initiative to say, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave now."
Hearing that Jiang Chen was leaving, Shu Jinye hurriedly turned back anxiously, "Mr. Jiang, there's no one here who can help me... Could you please not leave and stay?"
Shu Jinye's longing eyes were like a poor injured puppy.
Grandma Shu looked back at Shu Jinye and sighed helplessly.
This is the first time I've seen my always proud grandson being so humble. Sigh...
Grandma Shu was helped away by the security guard.
"Dad..." Xiao Zhuang threw himself into his father's arms and whispered softly.
Jiang Chen could tell that Xiao Jiang wanted to go home. He comforted his son in his arms, "Don't be afraid. Let's go first, okay?"
"Um."
Jiang Chen was leaving anyway. Shu Jinye was so anxious he almost cried. He hadn't even had time to make the surprise happen yet. How could he make it happen now that Jiang Chen was gone?
Shu Jinye stopped Jiang Chen in his tracks. "Mr. Jiang, Xiao Zhuang just saved Grandma, and I want to thank you. Could you please stay here while I take care of things? Just wait for a few minutes, okay?"
Jiang Chen: ...
After Shu Jinye's repeated requests, Jiang Chen finally agreed to stay.
After checking, Grandma Shu was just scared.
Seeing that the person was fine, Jiang Chen prepared to say goodbye, "Madam, I'm sorry that my little zombie has caused you trouble."
"How is that possible? I have to thank this kid for saving me."
Grandma Shu looked at the little zombie hiding behind Jiang Chen's legs.
She was clearly full of malice towards the child, but Xiao Zhuang still wanted to save herself. She was really too narrow-minded.
"Thank you, little one. What's your name?"
Little Zhuang timidly hid behind his father's legs and whispered, "Little Zhuang."
"Grandma..." Shu Jinye interrupted quickly.
He knew that his grandmother didn't like Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang, and was afraid that she would make things difficult for them.
"Would you like to come to my house and play someday?" Grandma Shu's tone was rare and her expression was kind and loving.
Xiao Zhuang didn't dare to answer, so Jiang Chen quickly tightened his hands around his trouser legs.
"Don't be offended, Grandma Shu. This child is shy..."
When Shu Jinye heard that his grandmother wanted to invite Xiao Jiang to her home to play, his eyes suddenly brightened. This way he could meet Jiang Chen for two consecutive days. His mind was full of calculations, and he had to seize this opportunity.
"It's better to do it the next day than the next. How about tomorrow?" Shu Jinye squatted in front of the little zombie. "How about coming to uncle's house to play tomorrow?"
Grandma Shu: ...
There's no need to rush.
She felt so angry when she saw her grandson's lickspittle die.
Xiao Zhuang didn't know what to do, so he hid and didn't answer.
Shu Jinye took great pains to coax Xiao Zhuang for a long time before Xiao Zhuang reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Great, I'll ask the butler to prepare it right away."
"Since Madam is well, we won't bother you any longer. Excuse me." Jiang Chen was really ready to leave this time.
"I'll go and take it there." Shu Jinye volunteered and followed happily.
Watching their backs as they left, Grandma Shu's smiling face fell and she clenched her fists. Today, that bitch Qian dared to harm her. She would never let the Qian family go.
Rooftop parking lot.
The pink rabbit butler had already opened the car door, and Jiang Chen was about to get in while holding the little zombie when he was stopped by Shu Jinye.
"Mr. Jiang, there is an exhibition and a dinner today. Are you really leaving?" Shu Jinye was very reluctant to let her go. He specially prepared a candlelight dinner and even decorated the venue himself.
"No need for the dinner." Jiang Chen really had lost interest.
"But I've been preparing for this exhibition for a long time. Although an accident happened today, I..."
"Please, Mr. Jiang..."
Shu Jinye knew that Jiang Chen was easily moved by soft-heartedness, so he begged pitifully, thinking that if he tried a few more times, he would surely be able to keep Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't know what to say. Shu Jinye had tried to get him to stay again and again today. He didn't know what he was up to.
If I don't agree to him, she will definitely find an excuse to go to Jiang's house to find him and Xiao Jiang soon.
well…
Jiang Chen felt helpless. He and Xiao Zhuang really didn't like to eat and had no interest in the dinner party.
If I don't let Shu Jinye succeed, he will definitely find other ways to keep me here. It seems that I can't escape today.
Jiang Chen is a smart man. When Shu Jinye did these things, he had already guessed that Shu Jinye had ulterior motives.
"All right."
He wanted to see what Shu Jinye was going to do.
Jiang Chen agreed, and fireworks exploded in Shu Jinye's heart.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang, please come this way."
Top floor villa with a view.
Shu Jinye specially prepared a candlelight dinner for tonight.
Jiang Chen looked at the empty room and asked, "Didn't they say there were other guests?"
"What about the other guests? Mr. Shu, won't you explain?"
"Um..."
Shu Jinye's secret was revealed, and a blush appeared on his face. He turned away embarrassedly and continued to lead the way.
Soothing music was playing in the restaurant, and Jiang Chen sat down opposite with Xiao Jiang in his arms.
"What on earth is Mr. Shu doing today?"
Shu Jinye watched as Jiang Chen was so nervous he couldn't say anything. His prepared lines went blank. After a long pause, he finally managed to come up with one sentence: "I just... I just want to thank you guys."
Little Zhuang sat obediently in his father's arms. The pink rabbit butler was afraid that he would be bored, so he handed him his favorite teddy bear.
"Mr. Shu also saved my little zombie, so why bother thanking him?"
In addition to them, there were many other staff members in the restaurant. This was the first time that the eldest son of the Shu family had hosted such a grand banquet alone, and dozens of pairs of eyes were watching them all the time.
The two faced each other in silence. Jiang Chen's expression remained normal, but Shu Jinye was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground.
He had never pursued anyone before and didn't know how to start a conversation.
Now that so many people were staring at him and Jiang Chen, his face became even redder after a while.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, Jiang Chen took the initiative to ask the pink rabbit housekeeper to get a children's chair.
He carried the little zombie into the child seat.
"Jiang...Mr. Jiang, don't be offended. I just want to treat you to a meal." Shu Jinye became more and more embarrassed as he spoke, and he was even embarrassed to look Jiang Chen in the eye.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Chen chuckled, "Well, since I've agreed to come, Mr. Shu doesn't need to be so nervous."
Jiang Chen's comfort made Shu Jinye relax a lot. He was indeed too nervous just now, and today was not smooth. There was a safety issue at the exhibition, and his grandmother also gave Jiang Chen a warning at the beginning. He really had not adjusted his state yet.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. It's getting late, Xiao Zhuang must be hungry. The food here is very good. You're welcome, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Chen nodded. He and Xiao Jiang didn’t like to eat, but they wouldn’t waste food either.
He handed the menu to Xiao Zhuang. Xiao Zhuang was not a greedy child and he could not understand the menu. He thought the ice cream and fruit bowl looked nice and ordered an ice cream.
Jiang Chen ordered a very small portion.
Shu Jinye thought Jiang Chen was afraid that he would spend money, and he always felt embarrassed.
"Don't waste it if you can't finish it." Jiang Chen said lightly.
Seeing through him again, Shu Jinye's face, which had finally calmed down, turned red again.
Jiang Chen only ordered a small plate of exquisite food. He ate very little and fed the little zombie a little from time to time.
Shu Jinye was intoxicated and smiling as if he was looking at a beautiful painting.
"Mr. Shu won't eat?"
"No... I'm not hungry. Just watching you eat is enough."
Jiang Chen: ...
Shu Jinye was immersed in the harmonious picture. Although he didn't know how to say that sentence, he knew that as long as he persisted, he would always be able to get her. He learned this from his father.
The little zombie was wearing a bib and licking the ice cream in a cup. There was a circle of mustache on the corner of his mouth, which made him look very cute.
At this moment, the terminal on his wrist rang. It was Xianxian calling him via video or on the friendship line.
Xianxian had taught Xiaojiang how to use it before, and he clicked it to connect.
"Wow? Wai wai? Can Xiaozhuang hear me?" Xianxian's chubby little face was pressed against the camera on the other side of the video.
"Um."
Xianxian fiddled with it for a while, and in front of the camera he was wearing pink bunny pajamas.
He hadn't heard Xiao Zhuang's voice just now, so he thought the signal was bad. He raised his little fist and knocked on the screen several times, then called his father again, "Dad, there's no sound from the terminal. Is the signal bad?"
Alman was usually very doting on his son, and he immediately flew over to check on him.
"Good boy, no problem."
"oh."
In the video, the little zombie is still holding the ice cream bowl with a confused expression.
"My dear friend, there is a temple fair tonight. Do you want to go with me?" There was some local music playing at Xianxian's house. He was talking to Xiaozhuang while twisting his body. His voice was lively and cute, just like him.
Little Zombie hadn't reacted yet, "What's a temple fair?"
Xianxian was dancing and chattering away in the video, explaining a lot of things, and Xiaozhuang seemed to understand.
He looked at Jiang Chen: "Dad, I want to go."
"Then go." Jiang Chen chuckled and wiped the little zombie's mouth.
"Then we have a deal. We'll meet at the temple fair entrance tonight."
"Um."
After the two kids finished their conversation, Xianxian hung up the video call happily.
Shu Jinye stared at Jiang Chen pitifully with his starry eyes: "Can I go too?"
"Mr. Shu, aren't you busy?" Jiang Chen wanted to refuse.
"I'm good at taking care of children. I won't cause any more trouble than before...Xianxian is a naughty child. It's better to have someone to watch over him so he doesn't run around."
“…” Shu Jinye promoted himself for a long time. He had to go anyway, even if Jiang Chen didn’t agree.
As a result, at 7 o'clock in the evening, Shu Jinye appeared at the entrance of the temple fair with Jiang Chen and his group with a smile on his face.
Xianxian met them with her two fathers, carrying a big sword on her back.
"Best friend!" Xianxian rushed towards Xiaozhuang like a small cannonball, and he immediately grabbed Xiaozhuang's hand.
"Xianxian."
"Look at my new limited edition sword!" Xianxian kept showing off his new toy.
"Oh~ so awesome~" the little zombie clapped his hands in applause at the huge, shining sword being waved in the air.
Seeing his son's excitement, Kakana couldn't help but spoil the fun, "He's going to lose it soon anyway."
"Hmph! No way! Lululu." After saying that, Xianxian made a face and pulled the little zombie into the temple fair street.
"Little zombie, let's go."
The temple fair street is filled with lanterns at night, and the entire scenic area is very lively.
This group of parents and children with extremely good looks entered the venue and quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Xianxian took Xiaojiang to buy cotton candy and went to catch dolls.
The two kids held hands and squatted down to catch goldfish.
The little zombie was holding a small net, but the little fish hid very quickly, and the little zombie couldn't catch any after trying for a long time.
"Hmm..."
Xianxian had already caught quite a few. He comforted Xiaozhuang, "It's okay. Mine belong to my best friend. We'll split them up later."
"Um."
The two children had a lot of fun, and Xianxian even wanted to play the dance machine.
He has always loved dancing and has a strong sense of body rhythm and movement. On the dance machine, he uses all four of his small limbs, and his cute dance attracts many people to watch.
Xiao Zhuang has always been the king of support, clapping his hands and adding to the atmosphere.
After Xianxian finished dancing and calmed down, he found something wrong.
"Huh? Why are your hands empty?"
After a few seconds of silence, he realized that his most precious sword was missing.
Suddenly, the little girl felt devastated. She sat down on the ground and started crying, "Wow, my big sword..."
"I told you it was going to be lost but you didn't believe me. Let me think about it... this should be the 118th big sword you have lost." Kakana gloated and did not forget to take a video of his son crying.
Alman felt sorry for his son and quickly took out a new big sword from the space to comfort him.
Xianxian is still excited about the limited edition big sword and no matter how I try to coax her, she won't show any interest.
Shu Jinye was embarrassed. It seemed that Xianxian would lose her big sword every time she went out.
Xianxian's face turned red from crying. Xiaojiang was anxious. He handed the little goldfish in his hand to the pink rabbit housekeeper and quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Xianxian, don't cry..."
"Wuwuwuwu... dear friend... my great sword..."
"Touch it...don't cry, let's go find it."
Xiao Zhuang's voice is like magic that can soothe people's hearts. Xianxian is usually difficult to comfort when she cries and she won't stop until she cries enough. Now Xiao Zhuang can coax Xianxian with just a few words.
Xianxian got up from the ground and wiped her tears, "Well, my dear friend, I won't cry anymore."
The two children held hands and walked back to look for the big sword, followed by several adults.
I walked all the way to the gate, but I couldn't find the big sword.
Xianxian wanted to cry again.
"Xianxian, don't cry~"
As soon as Xiao Zhuang started to speak, Xianxian held back her tears, "I...I won't cry."
"Someone must have picked it up. I'm really unlucky today."
"Puff puff." The little zombie gently pinched Xianxian's cheek.
“Don’t say sad things…”
Xianxian pouted and her cheeks were red.
Xiao Zhuang pointed at the raffle booth over there and said, "Shake it."
"Okay, let's go shake it."
The children ran to the stall hand in hand.
"Little boy, if you get the golden bean, you'll win first prize."
"Well, Xianxian... shake."
Xianxian shook her head: "You go first, I'll watch you shake."
Shu Jinye carried the little zombie onto the table and put his little hand on the joystick. He had three chances, and the last one produced golden beans.
"Wow, kid, you won first prize."
The first prize is an unopened limited edition large sword of the latest version of Mecha Warrior peripherals.
"You are so lucky, kid." The boss didn't expect that the limited edition he bought with great difficulty would be taken away before he even had time to warm it up. This child with a nonchalant look on his face is really a lucky guy.
Xianxian's eyes widened when she saw it.
The little zombie held the box containing the big sword and handed it to Xianxian, "This is for Xianxian."
"Are you really giving it to me?"
"Well, Xianxian gave me Yuyu, and this one is for Xianxian."
[Xianxian looks beautiful when she smiles, Xiaojiang doesn't want her to be sad...]
The adults present heard what Xiao Zhuang was thinking and wondered how this child could be so sensible.
Xianxian was so happy holding the big sword given by Xiaozhuang that she kept rubbing it against the box.
He couldn't help but shed tears. This was a gift from his best friend, and it wasn't something he bought casually. For children, things that are hard to come by are the most precious.
"My father always says that I lose things. This time I will never lose it again. This is a gift from my best friend. I will definitely keep it well." After saying that, Xianxian hugged the big sword tighter.
"Um."
At nine o'clock in the evening, the iron flower performance was on time in the temple fair square, and tourists danced around the bonfire.
Xianxian rode on her father's neck, holding the big sword, babbling and cheering happily with the crowd.
Xiao Zhuang sat in Jiang Chen's arms. He recalled that in the past, his father always let him ride on his neck.
Shu Jinye seemed to sense something and said, "Come, uncle will give you a ride."
Now is the time to show off in front of Jiang Chen. He picked up the little zombie and put it on his neck.
Colorful iron flowers are flying in the sky.
The high feeling overlapped with his memory, and Xiao Zhuang smiled brightly.
Xianxian took the initiative to watch the performance with Xiaozhuang hand in hand.
After the temple fair, Xianxian bought a lot of toys and all the shopping bags were hung on her father Alman.
Shu Jinye took the initiative to help Xiao Jiang carry his toys, and he was so happy.
After saying goodbye to Xianxian's family, Shu Jinye sent them back to Jiang's house.
He was in a good mood on the way back. Fortunately, Xianxian invited Xiaojiang to come out and play in the evening, otherwise today's arrangements would be very unsatisfactory, making today's itinerary look so bad.
It was totally worth it to see Jiang Chen’s heartfelt smile when we were making iron flowers just now.
When I got home, there was a gilded black stretched limousine parked in front of Jiang's house.
Seeing the owner coming back, the people in the car hurried out.
Xiao Zhuang came out of the car holding his father's hand, and came towards them was Long Qi Che who was carrying a small schoolbag.
"Xiao Zhuang... Can I stay at your house today?" Long Qi Che habitually held Xiao Zhuang's hand.
"Hmm?" Xiao Jiang didn't know why Xiao Che came so late, but he nodded and agreed without thinking.
"That's great." There was a dark spot under Long Qiche's eyes. He didn't sleep well the whole night after school yesterday. He could only fall asleep peacefully next to Xiao Zhuang.
【Xiao Zhuang promised me that he would never hesitate. How nice.】
"Hmm?" Xiao Zhuang seemed to hear something, but he didn't understand.
Yan Moran was too embarrassed to go up to Jiang Chen and say hello, "Dad Jiang, I'm really sorry that my child insisted on coming here."
After he finished speaking, Long Qiyou also got out of the car, "Dad Jiang, we are disturbing your family...I hope you won't mind?"
Shu Jinye was speechless. What was going on with the Long family bringing their whole family here so late at night?
"Alas, my child has insomnia. He says he can only sleep well when he's with Xiao Zhuang."
"We wouldn't feel at ease if the child came alone, so we brought him along. Is it okay if we just interrupt him tonight?"
Jiang Chen was also hospitable, and the Long family was easy to get along with. Moreover, seeing that the two children had a good relationship, he agreed without hesitation.
After hearing this, the pink rabbit housekeeper quickly asked Jiaojiao to arrange the room.
Hearing that Jiang Chen had agreed to the Long family, Shu Jinye quickly set up the ladder and asked, "Can I stay overnight?"
Jiang Chen glanced at him silently.
Shu Jinye swallowed his words. Was that look just now a warning to him not to push his luck?
