Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

This was the first time that Li Zhen felt so embarrassed, nervous, and inexplicably excited.

Why was Lu Xingchen in his house?

The person who wanted to escape walked towards the yard uncontrollably. Looking at Lu Xingchen standing among a group of people he was familiar with, standing around Li Wen and his mother, his heart softened.

The way Lu Xingchen appeared in his house... was really pleasing to the eye.

This year finally feels a bit like the Chinese New Year.

Li Zhen really wanted to walk over and stand beside her, but his heart was beating too fast. He was afraid that she would hear his inner ecstasy, as well as his panic and embarrassment after that awkward night, so he chose to stand beside Lin Huanxi, who was not too close to Lu Xingchen.

Xu Nanhe, who was the least familiar with these people, greeted him first with a little restraint: "Mr. Li, Happy New Year."

Li Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least someone gave him a chance to speak without feeling awkward. He nodded to Xu Nanhe, "Happy New Year. You don't have to be polite at home. Just think of it as visiting a friend's house."

Xu Nanhe wanted to say that this was not easy. The key point was that he and Xingchen were exes, which shocked him. "Okay, Mr. Li."

"Just call me by my name... or just follow Lu Xingchen's example."

Lu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat when he was suddenly called out. He looked at Li Zhen and wanted to say, "Mr. Li, you're really humorous," but because Wang Yaning and Li Wen didn't feel comfortable, he could only smile.

Lin Huanxi was just watching the fun and asked, "Brother Chen, how do you call me cousin? Say it out loud so Xu Nanhe can follow suit."

Li Zhen lowered his eyes to hide the triumph in his eyes. He brought her along on purpose because he wanted to talk to her.

Lu Xingchen cursed him in his heart, but said generously: "If you don't call me Mr. Li at home, call me Senior Brother. We went to the same school."

"Yeah." Li Zhen looked at her and said, "Junior sister, happy new year."

Lu Xingchen suddenly thought of the scene the night before when he kept asking her to wish her a happy new year. She got goosebumps all over her body. She smiled and replied, "Thank you."

Seeing that Li Zhen wanted to speak again, she asked him, "Brother, what input method do you use on your phone?"

"..." Li Zhen silently picked up the chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea and took a sip. She was so cruel.

Lin Huanxi sensed something unusual and immediately asked with bright eyes, "Brother, is there anything interesting about your input method?"

Does it count if he almost had a myocardial infarction? Li Zhen looked at her and asked, "When will your alcohol ban expire? Do you want me to ask your aunt for you?"

Lin Huanxi immediately glared at him.

Seeing the brother and sister stepping on each other's sore spot, Wang Yaning smiled and took over the conversation, "Speaking of sister, where did you go the night before yesterday? You drank so much that you didn't even dare to go home."

Li Zhen didn't dare to talk about drinking the day before. He just drank tea and didn't say anything.

Wang Yaning added, "Don't drink today. Come and get my things as a worker."

Li Zhen followed Wang Yaning into the house without any hesitation. Others were used to it, but Xu Nanhe was really surprised. He stood close to Lu Xingchen and whispered, "The cold-faced Yan Wang at home is really shocking."

Compared to how drunk he was, it was nothing. Lu Xingchen just smiled and said nothing.

As soon as Li Zhen entered the room, Wang Yaning warned him: "Don't deliberately target Xingchen for no reason."

Who is targeting whom? Li Zhen looked at the seafood on the ground and asked, "Do you want to move these two boxes?"

"I'm talking to you. No matter how upset you feel, she is still a girl. Don't always think about bullying her."

I didn't want to talk about this, but seeing my mother's confident look, Li Zhen hummed a sentence that was not true but seemed to be true: "She bullies me more or less."

"Hey kid..." Wang Yaning suddenly realized that Li Zhen didn't seem to mind being dumped before. After a pause, she sighed and asked excitedly, "Are you two together again?"

He wanted to...

What the hell is going on? Li Zhen bent down, picked up two foam boxes and was about to leave.

Wang Yaning pulled his arm and asked, "Why did Xingchen suddenly come back to our house?"

Hearing his mother use the word "hui", Li Zhen felt particularly regretful, "...I guess she was screaming out of joy."

"When did Huanxi meet Xingchen? Why didn't you tell me when she was going back to her country? When did she leave?"

The reason why his mother missed Lu Xingchen was probably because she had done a great favor to Li Wen and Li Shu, and perhaps she also felt a little regretful for not being able to keep her. Li Zhen, who had originally wanted to just brush it off, thought about it, and suddenly looked at his mother and said very seriously: "I will try my best not to let her leave."

Wang Yaning was stunned when she heard this.

Li Zhen was already carrying the box and walking towards the pool in the yard without looking back. He silently took out the seafood from the box and washed it carefully.

Wang Yaning seemed happy, but also sour. She had a promising child, but she still felt pitiful when she saw him. She didn't ask Li Zhen any more questions, and went to get the best wine she brewed and walked out.

Luo Shi lit the charcoal.

Li Wen and Lin Huanxi put the marinated meat on skewers.

Lu Xingchen had never done these things before. He just watched everyone do it and then imitated them. Everyone talked and laughed while working, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.

After the meat skewers were ready, Li Zhen and Luo Shi started to grill them.

Xu Nanhe saw that the boss and the assistant were getting a little impatient while grilling meat, so he said to Lu Xingchen, "I'll go help with the grilling."

Lin Huanxi said: "It's okay, my brother is an expert in barbecue."

Xu Nanhe: "Then I'll go and help."

If Xu Nanhe hadn't known that Li Zhen was a technical leader in the IT industry, he would have believed that this man was a barbecue chef. His barbecue skills were so skillful that he walked over and said politely, "Boss Li, let me do the grilling."

Li Zhen glanced at him and said, "You can handle it if you want. Go play with them."

Xu Nanhe didn't feel comfortable going there, so he took the initiative to flip the skewers at the other end of the grill.

Li Zhen didn't refuse.

The two of them were working without talking. When Xu Nanhe felt the atmosphere was awkward and was about to take the initiative to find something to say, Li Zhen suddenly said, "The game is good."

Xu Nanhe was stunned for a moment, then flattered and said: "Have you seen my game?!"

Li Zhen flipped the meat over and said without raising his eyes: "There is no doubt that you are popular. You are very conspicuous."

"..." From a personal perspective towards Lu Xingchen, Xu Nanhe didn't like Li Zhen very much, but when he heard Li Zhen say that he paid attention to him, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, and even felt that this was the greatest affirmation he had ever received!

Encouraged, Xu Nanhe even enjoyed the barbecue with extra enthusiasm. He was so satisfied that he didn't know how to express it.

Li Zhen turned his head and looked at him and said, "I've been paying attention to you since you appeared next to Lu Xingchen."

Xu Nanhe paused as he was brushing the meat. What... does this mean?

... "There is no doubt that you are popular. You are very conspicuous."

... "I've been paying attention to you since you appeared next to Lu Xingchen."

So his conversation had nothing to do with "the game is good"? Xu Nanhe felt that he should be disappointed but couldn't find a reason, so he could only smile at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen brushed oil on the skewers, and the charcoal flames jumped up with the dripping oil. He turned to Xu Nanhe and smiled and asked, "You... like Lu Xingchen too?"

Xu Nanhe was startled by the question, then looking at the smile on his lips and the sizzling charcoal fire, he couldn't help swallowing. Didn't he come here to help with the barbecue, but to be tortured?

And the boss just used the word "also".

Do you like Lu Xingchen too?

Is this... a warning? Xu Nanhe grabbed a plate nearby and ran away, "Xingchen doesn't like me!"

If you don’t like it, then don’t run. Li Zhen glanced at the fleeing figure and continued to grill the meat skillfully.
