Chapter 89
Shu Jinye, embarrassed by his plan being exposed, prepared to say goodbye. "By the way, Mr. Jiang, I have a gift for you. I hope you'll accept it."
A series of things happened today and Shu Jinye didn't have the chance to take out the gift.
"Wait for me."
He took out an exquisite box from the car, his face flushed with shyness as he spoke, "I made this myself, don't... don't despise it..."
Jiang Chen opened the wooden box and found two jade figurines inside.
"This is…"
The lifelike jade-faced human figure is what he looked like at the ceremony of enthroning the emperor and empress.
There is also the appearance of Prince Xiaozhuang at the enthronement ceremony.
Jiang Chen's expression was inadvertently filled with surprise. What on earth was he...
Noticing that Jiang Chen didn't say anything and his expression couldn't be seen clearly due to the streetlights, Shu Jinye quickly explained, "To be honest, ever since I met you, I've been dreaming about the same scene over and over again."
"I always feel that the you in my dreams is the real you..."
"Jade carving is my hobby. I'm not very good at it, so please don't mind."
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and accepted it, "Thank you..."
I didn’t expect that Shu Jinye’s hobbies are exactly the same as Chen Di’s.
Shu Jinye was satisfied to see Jiang Chen accept the gift.
"Then I'll come back tomorrow. I won't bother you today." After saying that, he drove away, looking back at the dormitory every few steps.
Long Qiche habitually took Xiaojiang's hand. Xiaojiang noticed the dark circles under his eyes and looked worried. "Xiaoche, why don't you sleep?"
Long Qi Che just shook his head without explaining the real reason, "It's too noisy at home. I can't sleep."
As soon as he got together with Xiao Zhuang, he felt so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his eyelids. He hadn't slept all day since school was over yesterday.
Long Qiyou and Yan Moran were quite worried about their son who had trouble sleeping since childhood. Now seeing their son holding Xiao Zhuang's hand and shaking his eyelids with a fight, they thought that treating their son's insomnia together with Xiao Zhuang was indeed effective.
The two looked at Xiao Zhuang with great affection. The more they looked, the more they liked him. They even felt a little regretful. It would be great if Xiao Zhuang could come to their home. However, they couldn't kidnap other people's kids, so they could only shamelessly bring the child to Xiao Zhuang's home.
The housekeeper has arranged a separate courtyard for the Long family.
Jiaojiao is already waiting there, just to provide the best service to the guests.
The exquisite guest house, rockery, flowing water, bamboo forest and waterside pavilions are scattered around, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
All the daily necessities in the house are from top brands on the market, and the furniture is full of ancient and elegant charm.
Outside the bedroom's floor-to-ceiling windows is a beautiful flowing water courtyard.
Long Qiyou has always had very high requirements for the quality of daily life since he was a child, and he is often picky and difficult to serve. At this time, even he couldn't help but admire how beautiful this place is.
Long Qi Che fell asleep before he even reached the yard and was now being held by his father.
Xiao Zhuang has returned to the main courtyard with his father to wash up and go to bed.
Not long after Xiao Zhuang left, he was woken up by his parents' voices again.
Long Qi Che sat on the bed and insisted on sleeping with Xiao Jiang.
Before the fathers could react, he rushed out of the house, and Jiaojiao and the two fathers quickly followed.
Long Qi Che had been to Jiang's house before. He quickly found the entrance to the main house and ran into the living room to look for Xiao Zhuang.
"Young Master Long, please slow down..." Jiaojiao chased after him.
Hearing the noise outside, Xiao Zhuang walked out of the room and stuck his head out from the stairs to the second floor.
After seeing the little zombie, Long Qi Che immediately went upstairs.
"Xiao Zhuang, I want to sleep with you."
Jiang Chen walked out of the room and looked at the two children holding hands. He squatted down and said, "If you are with your good friends, Yan'er can't sleep with daddy..."
Xiao Zhuang took Long Qi Che's hand and squeezed it, as if he had made a big decision: "Xiao Zhuang will sleep alone."
"Well, go take a shower and go to bed."
Jiaojiao went to give the two cubs a bath with a smile on her face.
When Long's father and daughter rushed over, they found that their son had fallen asleep in the bathtub while taking a bath.
He leaned on Xiaozhuang, who didn't dare to move and could only let Jiaojiao help him scrub his hair.
Yan Moran's heart melted as he watched from the doorway: "How can it be so cute~"
"Jiaojiao, I'm so happy~" Jiaojiao's face was almost blooming with a smile. He never knew that he actually liked taking care of children so much.
After taking a bath, the two cubs were sent to Xiao Zhuang’s own bedroom.
Jiaojiao covered the cubs with blankets and said, "Good night, Master. Call me if you get scared."
"Um."
Jiaojiao left a night light on for the child and then gently closed the door.
Long Qiche was sound asleep, while Xiaojiang was beside him, unable to fall asleep while hugging Little Bear. He whispered quietly, "Xiaoche, are you afraid of sleeping alone?"
I thought Long Qi Che would not answer, but a mumbling voice came from the side, "Don't be afraid." Long Qi Che replied with half-closed eyes.
He has always slept alone at home and is used to it.
The little zombie gathered the quilt together and buried his face in it, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes exposed.
Except for kindergarten, I sleep with my dad every night, and I feel very uncomfortable today.
As if Long Qiche sensed his fear, he took the initiative to lift the quilt and crawl into Xiao Zhuang's bed, "We won't be afraid if we cover each other with a blanket."
"Um."
Long's father and his wife were still worried about their sons, so they sneaked in to take a look and found that the two cubs were already sleeping in each other's arms.
"So good..." After sighing, he tiptoed out silently.
Everyone slept well that night.
Long Qiyou woke up and stretched, "It's so comfortable to live here."
He looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock in the morning. He hadn't slept until he woke up naturally in a long time.
The pink rabbit housekeeper waited until the guests woke up before coming over, "Gentlemen, my master invites you to dine together."
I was in a hurry to get here last night and didn't notice the crystal flowers in the living room.
When Long Qiyou saw this, his eyes widened, "How...how did you get this?"
The crystal flowers were sparkling and extremely beautiful. He had spent a lot of money before but still couldn't buy one.
This house has excellent feng shui, and it is blessed by the crystal flowers. No wonder he is in a good mood all day. Tomorrow there will be a lot of things in the group that will make him irritable, but now he feels extremely relaxed, which shows that this flower is really as rumored.
"This is my young master's flower."
Long Qiyou had investigated the Jiang family. The Jiang family seemed to appear out of thin air, with a very clean background that could not be traced back to the source. He already thought such a clean background was very strange, and now the Jiang family also had the crystal flower. He had to think about the origins of Jiang Chen and Xiao Zhuang.
Could he be the heir to some hidden super family?
Yan Moran, standing by, could tell from his expression that he was calculating. He smiled helplessly, "What are you thinking about? What could Mr. Jiang possibly be planning against our family?"
"Whatever you want, it's our little zombie."
Thinking about his son insisting on coming over to disturb him in the middle of the night, Long Qiyou smiled awkwardly: "Uh... uh, that's right, hahahaha."
After breakfast, the Long family knew that Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang had other plans today, so they did not continue to disturb them.
However, Long Qi Che was very reluctant to leave with Xiao Zhuang. The two children held hands and talked for a long time. They made an appointment to meet at kindergarten tomorrow before reluctantly leaving.
After seeing off the Long family, Jiang Chen went to the warehouse to prepare a gift. He would be going to the Shu family soon, and he definitely couldn't go empty-handed.
Shu Jinye came to pick up Jiang Chen in person early in the morning again. He came too early yesterday and today he waited at the door for several hours only after the Long family left before he dared to ring the doorbell.
The Shu residence is a large manor, about the same size as the Jiang residence, but with an European design style.
Jiang Chen and Xiao Zhuang had been to the twin Lei's house before. The facades of the two houses looked similar, both like castles.
Jiang Chen naturally felt that this should be the style that interstellar people like.
Grandma Shu started preparing early in the morning, and now she is waiting in the living room for her eldest grandson to take people home.
Yesterday she was very reluctant to let her grandson have contact with Jiang Chen, but after one night she seemed to have figured something out and no longer felt so much resistance.
At this time, Shu's father and mother were also waiting in the living room. They were more curious than Grandma Shu.
Shu Jinye was still a little nervous when he led people in. The moment the door opened, six pairs of eyes stared at him, and his heart beat so fast that his face turned red.
This was the first time that their son brought a friend home, and the Shu family took it very seriously.
Xiao Zhuang was wearing overalls and a small shirt today, with a bow tie around his neck. His father held his hand all the way.
After entering the reception room, everyone in the room fell silent after seeing Jiang Chen's peaceful and happy face.
Jiang Chen was also silent for a while. Shu's father and mother looked exactly like the retired emperor and empress dowager in his memory.
The retired emperor and the empress dowager died early, and Jiang Chen had only seen them when he was a child, but his memory would never be wrong. He looked at Grandma Shu again.
He had never met the Grand Empress Dowager when he was in Dongqi, so he thought Grandma Shu must be the same as the Grand Empress Dowager.
He was extremely shocked to find that the royal family, who had suffered so much misfortune in the past, were now living together in peace and harmony in this life. It was impossible for such a coincidence to happen.
But thinking about it, it’s a miracle that Xiao Zhuang and I are still alive. There are too many things in this world that cannot be explained.
Shu's mother was the first to break the silence. "Everyone is here, Chen'er, why don't you let them come in and sit down?"
"Oh oh oh, Mr. Jiang, please come this way." Shu Jinye finally reacted after his mother reminded him.
When Jiang Chen brought Xiao Zhuang to the front of everyone, they discovered this delicate and exquisite doll.
The little zombie looks as cute as a Q-version doll in cartoons, with curly chestnut hair curled on both sides of his cheeks and a blush on his pink face, making people like him at first sight.
"Is this Xiao Jiang? Let auntie see him." Shu's mother fell in love with Xiao Jiang after just seeing him once.
Jiang Chen usually taught Xiao Zhuang to be very polite. Although Xiao Zhuang was very shy, he still took the initiative to speak to Shu Jinye's parents: "Hello, uncle and aunt~"
"So good..." Shu's mother's eyes narrowed into slits due to her smile.
Mr. Shu also liked the child very much and immediately sent someone to bring a gift.
Xiao Zhuang put his hands behind his back and shook his head, "Dad said we can't just accept gifts from others."
Father Shu was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "This child is really polite. I like it."
Xiao Zhuang has always called Shu's father and mother uncle and aunt. Shu Jinye realized later that this address was not right?
Jiang Chen handed the gift to the housekeeper of the Shu residence. "This is my first visit to your house. This is something I want to thank you for."
When Shu's father heard this, his eyes lit up. The tea that Shu Jinye brought back last time was given by Jiang Chen. He stared at the gift bag expectantly. There should still be the tea from last time in it, right?
He liked Jiang Chen's tea very much and drank it all in a few weeks. He also secretly stole and drank a lot of the tea that Shu Jinye had left for him.
The atmosphere in the reception room was quite harmonious. Grandma Shu smiled and asked someone to serve the snacks she had made herself to the guests.
Jiang Chen looked at the black thing on the plate on the coffee table, not knowing what it was.
