Chen Yu smiled as she looked at the chat history at the bottom of the screen. Wang Yue and Jiang Yang had been bickering since they were little.
[fish: What are you guys arguing about so early in the morning?]
[Foreigner: Oh, so it's resurrected?]
[Moon: Can't you speak properly?]
[fish: Speechless. Jiang Yang must have been up all night and is mentally unstable.]
[Yang: Chen Yu really understands me. Unlike someone else, who's as pure as a husky (Wang Yue).]
Chen Yu chuckled as she looked at her phone. Chen Le brought the dishes into the living room and saw Chen Yu grinning at her phone. "Could this girl be in a relationship?" Chen Le secretly sidled up behind Chen Yu and looked at the group chat on her phone. He breathed a sigh of relief. His own cabbage had almost been eaten by a pig. In his opinion, Chen Yu and Shen Yan were a perfect match. One was extroverted and the other introverted, they complemented each other very well.
"Chen Yu, go and call Shen Yan down for dinner."
Chen Le's voice suddenly rang out behind her, startling Chen Yu. She looked at Chen Le with some annoyance, "Uncle, can you please make some noise when you walk in the future? You scared me to death." After saying that, she took her phone and went upstairs, leaving Chen Le alone at the dining table, dumbfounded. Why is this child not cute at all? He has such a bad temper.
Chen Yu jogged upstairs and habitually opened her bedroom door. Her suitcase and backpack were already inside. She put down her phone and went to the next room.
She had only extended her hand halfway to knock on the door. It was impossible for her personality to change instantly, so she could only proceed gradually. She lowered her hand, extended her foot, and kicked the door twice. "Chen Yan, come downstairs for dinner."
After saying that, Chen Yu went downstairs without even checking whether Shen Yan had heard her. She hurriedly ran downstairs and sat down in a chair. Chef Chen, who had been busy all day, finally managed to put all the food on the table, but all he saw was Chen Yu.
"Where's Xiao Shen? Didn't I tell you to go and call him?"
“I called out to him, but he wouldn’t come down.”
Although Chen Yu said she didn't care, she was actually very concerned. As soon as she sat down, she wondered if she had spoken too softly and whether Shen Yan could hear her.
Chen Le was a little annoyed. He tapped Chen Yu's head lightly with his fork. "Your temper is getting worse and worse." After saying that, he wanted to go upstairs to call Shen Yan. He had just climbed one step when he saw Shen Yan coming down.
He felt a little embarrassed. He had misunderstood Chen Yu, but it wasn't his fault. He had asked Chen Yu to call Shen Yan before, but Chen Yu said that Shen Yan wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat. In the end, Chen Yu didn't call Shen Yan at all, leaving little Shen Yan hungry all night.
"Xiao Shen, come down here, come and eat."
Chen Le walked up a few more steps, pulled Shen Yan to the dining table, and deliberately pressed him down to sit next to Chen Yu. He was determined to mend the relationship between the two kids.
Chen Yu and Shen Yan remained quiet throughout the meal. Halfway through, Chen Le went to answer a phone call and returned to the table with a sour expression. He looked at Chen Yu and Shen Yan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Chen Yu looked at him strangely, "Uncle, what's with that expression? Did you eat poop?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't say such disgusting things while eating."
Chen Le glared at Chen Yu. Who does this child take after? She just blurts out whatever comes to mind, and she's not ashamed at all, even though she's a girl.
After finishing cleaning up the dishes, Chen Le paced back and forth in the kitchen. Finally, he resolutely stepped into the living room, snatched the remote control from Chen Yu's hand, and paused the movie on the TV.
"I have something to tell you."
"Speak."
Chen Yu looked at Chen Le with some impatience, wondering what kind of trouble he was up to. But knowing Chen Le as she did, she knew it couldn't be anything good.
“A friend of mine on the farm next door is having a difficult birth with his horse. I might have to go help him. But I might not be back tonight or tomorrow…” Chen Le’s voice trailed off at the end.
"Go ahead, we can take care of ourselves." Chen Yu's words were indifferent, which made Chen Le somewhat incredulous. His face was full of shock. Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his pocket rang again. It was the other end urging him again. Chen Le had no choice but to say a few words to Shen Yan and then hurriedly left.
Shen Yan watched Chen Le's departing figure and silently locked the door. Chen Yu was still watching TV with a smile. After thinking it over, Shen Yan sat back down on the sofa. He had no interest in these comedy shows.
The light above Chen Yu's head flickered. At first, the two of them didn't pay attention, but halfway through watching, Chen Yu's phone rang.
"Hello? What's wrong, Uncle?"
"Xiaoyu, your uncle received a notice that there will be a typhoon for the next three days starting tonight, so I can't make it back. You'll have to stay home with Chen Yan..."
Chen Yu was taken aback. She remembered that there had been no typhoon before, and Chen Le had returned the next day. Why had things suddenly changed? Her hand holding the phone paused.
"Xiaoyu? Why aren't you saying anything? Give the phone to Chen Yan."
Chen Yu blankly handed the phone to Shen Yan, watching him murmur a few "hmm"s into the phone before hanging up. He then handed the phone back to Chen Yu, saying, "Uncle Chen Le's place might also experience a power outage tonight..." Before he could finish speaking, the overhead light went out, and the television screen went completely black. Shen Yan didn't continue speaking.
In the darkness, they could only hear each other's breathing.
Shen Yan turned on his phone's flashlight. "Let's go upstairs first. I'll shine the light for you from behind."
Chen Yu had no choice but to follow the light upstairs. Outside the window, a violent storm was raging, and raindrops were pounding against the roof beams.
Shen Yan watched Chen Yu enter the room, and stood at the door for a while before leaving.
