Chapter 3: The Vain Drama Queen 03: Little Man
Seeing them coming back, the little figure stood up immediately.
Yan Mi was staring at the child in a daze when Chen Lixu's voice rang in his ears: "Pay attention to your attitude when you see your son. Show more concern for him and stop looking sour, okay?"
Yan Mi snorted and said nothing, as if he didn't care at all about what Chen Li was saying.
When they got closer, Yan Mi clearly saw the light in the child's eyes. That light belonged only to Chen Lixu. When the child looked at her, his eyes were gray and there was not a single fluctuation.
Chen Lixu greeted his son, "You've been tired at home alone today. Dad will go to the city to buy some meat for you later, okay?"
The child's eyes lit up and he nodded seriously, "It's not hard for me at all. It's Daddy who is more tired."
"Dad isn't tired either." Chen Lixu chatted with his son as they entered the house together.
Chen Lixu put Yan Mi on a chair that looked very finely made. Yan Mi knew that this was the original owner's request, and that the chair belonged exclusively to her and no one else was qualified to sit on it.
After putting Yan Mi down, Chen Lixu took his son's hand and went to the kitchen.
Yan Mi was the only one left in the room.
Yan Mi looked around. The house looked very shabby, but it was good enough to have a place to live.
Many of the furniture in the house are made of wood. Some have been used for a long time, and the red paint on the wood has fallen off a lot. Looking at the whole house, the chair under her butt is the newest one.
Yan Mi felt a little embarrassed thinking about it. The original owner was a little unique in the family, and this Chen Lixu was not what she had just imagined.
Chen Lixu, who had gone to the kitchen, came back while thinking about all sorts of things in his mind.
These days, Yan Mi goes out early and comes back late every day. He is often not at home, so his son has a lot more freedom. Today, Yan Mi suddenly came back so early, and he knew that his son was not feeling well.
He glanced at Yan Mi and saw that she was in a daze, so he didn't call her back to her senses.
He went to look under the bed in the room and took out the half-bottle of medicinal wine he had used before. This kind of medicinal wine is very useful in treating bruises and injuries. He used to use this medicine frequently when he was often injured in the army.
After leaving the room, he saw Yan Mi limping around in the house. Chen Lixu looked deep in his eyes and coughed, "Why don't you sit still?"
"I'm just looking around. These things are so old. Don't you still have money? Why don't you replace them all?" Yan Mi pretended to be disgusted with these things. He touched them and quickly shook his hands away, covering his nose. "These things smell musty. It's not good for your health if you smell them for a long time."
Seeing her disdain, Chen Lixu said, "These things are still usable, why throw them away? If you have money, you can buy new ones. I've already used up all my money to support you."
Yan Mi curled her lips and thought, forget it, Chen Lixu still used this excuse to block her.
She knew that even if Chen Lixu retired, he would still receive a retirement salary. Although the money was not a lot, at least he would not have to worry about his life.
But then she thought about the reward she might get for reporting the incident, so she held her head high and said, "I'm going to be rich soon, and when the time comes, I'll change it. I'll change it all to the way I like."
Chen Lixu found it funny. Yan Mi would be rich? He didn't believe it.
After all, from past experience, he knew that Yan Mi was a person who would spend money as soon as she had it, and she had no job and didn't work, so how could she have any channels to make money.
He casually said, "Okay, if you have money, you can change it. I won't stop you."
Yan Mi saw his disbelieving expression and said, "I'm serious!"
Chen Lixu then took a serious look at Yan Mi, but found nothing unusual. He was still the same person he knew. Although disbelief was written all over his body, he didn't want to argue with Yan Mi about such a meaningless topic. "I don't disbelieve it."
Yan Mi knew that Chen Lixu still didn't believe it, but she wanted to pretend that he did. "Just wait, I will definitely get a lot of money by then."
"Okay, sit down quickly. I'll apply the medicine for you and then I have to go cook. Otherwise, our son will be hungry." Chen Lixu pushed Yan Mi onto the chair and took off her shoes with neat movements while speaking.
The orange-yellow medicinal wine was poured into the palm of his hand. Chen Lixu pressed his rough palm on Yan Mi's ankle. The medicinal wine felt cool when it first fell on the skin. As Chen Lixu exerted force, Yan Mi couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Why do I have to rub it so hard after applying the medicinal wine? It hurts." Yan Mi clenched her teeth and frowned. She wanted to kick Chen Lixu in pain.
"This is the only way to work. Just bear with it and it will be fine." Chen Lixu didn't say much to comfort her. He just buried his head in rubbing the swollen ankle.
After applying the medicinal wine, Chen Lixu put it away, washed his hands and went to the kitchen to cook.
Yan Mi watched Chen Lixu leave, and soon the aroma of food wafted to his nose.
Her stomach growled again.
Yan Mi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chen Lixu could actually cook. He was indeed a good family man. No wonder Chen Jiajia liked him later.
Chen Jiajia is the person who will get together with Chen Lixu after the original owner left. The two support each other, one becomes a boss and the other becomes a university professor, and they are very loving and are a couple that everyone envies.
But now that she is here, Yan Mi is also looking forward to what will happen in the future.
As he was thinking, the pair of gray eyes suddenly appeared in Yan Mi's mind.
My heart couldn't help but beat fast.
A smile appeared on her face, she liked the cute child very much.
After all, the mission was to allow the original owner to avoid a tragic ending and get a happy ending. Yan Mi felt that there must be another deeper meaning in this. According to the original plot, with the original owner's personality, why did she have to change it?
Maybe she needs to change and treat Chen Lixu and the child well?
Then Chen Jiajia will not be able to be with Chen Lixu in the future, and Yan Mi felt a little sorry.
If it really doesn't work, I can introduce other high-quality men to Chen Jiajia at that time.
The child who came to call Yan Mi for dinner saw Yan Mi's smile, grabbed the curtain of the kitchen door, and carefully poked his head out from the curtain.
He didn't understand why his mother was laughing. As far as he could remember, he had rarely seen her laugh.
He was also very clear about the fact that his mother hated him and he also hated his mother.
Yan Mi looked at the little head beside the curtain and felt it was very interesting. At this moment, her maternal love overflowed, as if this child was really connected to her by blood.
"Come here, why are you standing there?" Yan Mi waved at the child.
The child thought he was hiding very well, but he was still discovered.
His brows were tightly furrowed as he slowly walked over. He didn't dare to look Yan Mi in the eye, but lowered his head to look at the back of his feet. "Dad asked me to call you for dinner."
It turned out to be dinner time, so she asked why the child came to see her, but Yan Mi looked at her feet and said, "But what should I do if my feet are injured and I can't walk?"
The child had not expected this at all and was a little overwhelmed. "Then I'll go get Dad."
He turned around and wanted to run, but was stopped by Yan Mi, "You are already a little man, do I still need to call you dad for such a small matter?"
The little boy paused and shrank back. He knew he was going to be scolded again. His nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Help your mother, little man will help, right?" Yan Mi's tone softened a lot when she spoke to the child. When she said this, she seemed to be coaxing someone and acting coquettishly.
The little boy didn't receive the expected scolding, and his hot tears suddenly stopped flowing. He blinked hard, not daring to let his mother see him crying. "Yeah."
He nodded vigorously, walked to Yan Mi, and stretched out his little hand to Yan Mi.
Yan Mi bent down to put on his shoes, stood up and took the child's hand, lending a little strength but not daring to lean completely on the child.
That would squash the baby.
This let the child know that Yan Mi was indeed being supported by him.
The heat from Yan Mi's palm was very warm, and Yan Mi's hand was very nice and comfortable to touch. It was the first time the little boy knew what his mother's hands were like.
The kitchen was right next to it, and Yan Mi arrived in a few steps. There was only a simple stove in the kitchen, and a bundle of hay and firewood was piled on the other side. The window was very small, and there was not much light in the room, but fortunately Chen Lixu lit a candle.
Walking to the dining table, Yan Mi thanked the child and offered to have dinner with her, but the child shook his head and refused.
Chen Lixu watched this scene and didn't say much.
But he felt that Yan Mi seemed different from before.
Maybe what he said had worked on her.
Without thinking too much, Chen Lixu also sat down to eat.
Night fell quickly, and the dishes and chopsticks were washed by the children after they finished eating. Yan Mi felt a little distressed when he saw it.
This is so sensible.
Chen Lixu went to boil water. The kids had nothing to do after finishing their work, so they followed Chen Lixu in and out.
They washed up outside and the children went to bed obediently.
Then Chen Lixu brought in a wooden basin and said, "Go wash up. I'm going to bed first."
Yan Mi called out to him, "You have to wait for me, my foot is injured now."
Yan Mi didn't want Chen Lixu to leave him alone to rest.
Chen Lixu sat down next to her, his back straight, and urged Yan Mi, who was staring at him in amazement, "Hurry up."
Yan Mi quickly finished washing up. Chen Lixu helped her pour out the water and then walked into the room. Yan Mi followed him.
Chen Lixu looked at her strangely and didn't say much.
After Yan Mi walked in, Chen Lixu went to close the door.
"Behave yourself tonight." After leaving a warning to Yan Mi, Chen Lixu took off his clothes and went to bed.
Yan Mi naturally knew what he meant by being honest, "I won't touch your money. I don't even care about it."
She will be rich now!
"That's good." Chen Lixu didn't say much. He turned over and faced Yan Mi without saying anything else.
Yan Mi frowned, "Why are you so angry again? Why didn't you ask me why I've been leaving early and coming back late recently?"
Chen Lixu didn't answer. Yan Mi was furious. She wanted to stamp her feet, but then she remembered that her feet were still injured. She could only lie down on the bed angrily, then shook her head and said, "Chen Lixu, you're going too far!"
