She's waiting for me there.

"Brother, morning."

"Brother is here."

The father and son have a unique way of greeting each other.

Chen Yun picked up the steamed bun and took a bite.

Well, it’s really good, better than what you buy outside.

"Old man, gather your old friends together these two days. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Oh?" The old man looked at him in surprise, then thought of something and excitedly threw the steamed bun aside.

"Son, what kind of people do you need? Industry and Commerce, taxation, bank presidents, people in the establishment or outside the establishment. Oh, and the mayor is also looking for people. It just so happens that that old man from the provincial capital is coming to inspect these two days, so let's call them all. Think about it, who else is missing?"

The old man looked at him with shining eyes and an expression of anticipation.

? ?

Chen Yun had just taken a bite of the steamed bun, but after hearing what Chen Hanlin said, he forgot to chew for a moment.

Why do I feel like the old man is pretending, but there seems to be no evidence.

I just wanted to pave the way first. Why does he sound like I'm going to start an uprising when he said that? There's no need to recruit so many people and even set up the provincial capital.

Chen Yun tried hard to swallow the steamed bun in his mouth and almost choked to death: "No, Dad, where do you know so many people?"

Hearing this, the old man immediately stood up, turned around and walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked at the scenery outside with deep eyes.

“Thinking back to when I was doing business…”

"You decide who to invite. We don't need too many people, just one table is fine. Let's go, Qingning, let's go to school."

Qing Ning looked at the remaining half bowl of porridge with a look of reluctance on her face, and was dragged out by Chen Yun.

"Ah? This brat is so outrageous before I even start talking." Chen Hanlin said indignantly, and after sitting down, he started to work hard on a steamed bun.

Qingxue covered her mouth and giggled. Seeing the father and son bickering every day, the whole house was filled with warmth. She really didn't know how happy the mother-in-law she had never met was when they were a family of three.

When Chen Yun came back, Chen Hanlin was biting a pen and scratching his head at a piece of paper.

"Hey, big brother, what's wrong? You've been thinking about it for so long but still don't know who to invite. Could it be that so many years have passed and our friendship has faded?" Chen Yun mocked him directly.

The old man threw the pen aside, leaned back on the sofa and sighed: "Ah, I'm old now, things are no longer the same as they used to be."

Chen Yun was stunned. It was rare to see the old man with this expression. Maybe he had said something too harsh just now and made him depressed.

"Dad, it's okay. You don't have to invite them. I..."

The old man handed the paper to Chen Yun, then stood up and stood dejectedly in front of the window: "The people on the paper can definitely help, but I can't say for the rest, so I didn't dare to write them down."

When Chen Yun saw the A4 white paper, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Good guy, really good guy.

A piece of white paper was densely filled with names, and the department and position were written behind it.

The front of the white paper was not even full, and even the back was filled up.

This feeling is like a fighting game I played before. I had planned to use a set of extremely gorgeous combos to take down the opponent, but was suddenly interrupted by a silence, and then the opponent was killed with one skill.

Chen Yun said unhappily, "Old man, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it in and get yourself hurt."

"Hahahaha——" Chen Hanlin couldn't help it anymore. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. With his hands behind his back, he walked out leisurely and returned to the other side.

Sure enough, it feels the best to show off in front of my son.

Qingxue was laughing so hard that she squatted on the ground. It was always very interesting to see her husband being humiliated in front of the old man.

Now, Chen Yun found a place to vent his anger. He rushed over, picked up Qingxue, and slapped her.

"Ah!" The voice was charming and beautiful.

Ugh?

Is this so fun? Then there was another slap.

Afterwards, Chen Yun started the Ansai waist drum mode. Fortunately, the room was well sealed and the sound could not be transmitted, otherwise Qingxue would not have to see anyone in the future.

The two were having fun when a ringing sound interrupted their interaction.

"Oh, honey, wait a minute, I have to take a call. It's Teacher Qing Ning."

Chen Yun stopped immediately. Could it be that Qing Ning was in trouble at school?

"Hello, teacher."

"Hello, is this Sister Qing Ning? I want to tell you something."

"Okay, go ahead." Chen Yun held Qingxue in his arms and put his ear to the phone, looking like a curious baby.

The head teacher looked around and confirmed that the office was his, then whispered, "Is there anything wrong with Qing Ning coming home recently?"

Qingxue was stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "No, she's in much better shape since returning home. Is there something wrong with her study attitude?"

The head teacher stammered, "Well, it's not about academics. I just heard it from students and wanted to understand the situation with you. This... I told you not to take it too seriously."

Qingxue was even more confused. What was this teacher hiding? "Teacher, it's okay. Just tell me. I know you're doing this for Qingning's own good."

The head teacher hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me tell you, are Qing Ning and your husband usually close?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Qingxue turned around and looked at Chen Yun.

At this time, Chen Yun's curious baby mode had disappeared and he was sweating profusely. He vaguely guessed what the teacher wanted to say. Didn't Qingning say that he had already explained it? Why did he call Qingxue? He was really ruined by that little girl.

Looking at Chen Yun who was slowly retreating, Qingxue directly grabbed him and said, "Teacher, just say whatever you want to say."

"Okay, then I'll tell you something. Qing Ning said your husband is her boyfriend in front of her classmates. This incident has a huge impact on the girl's reputation. Now the whole school is talking about it, and Qing Ning has never explained it. I think I should ask you."

Qingxue's eyes never left Chen Yun, her expression was calm and composed.

Chen Yun kept waving his hands, but the teacher hadn't hung up the phone yet, so he didn't dare to speak directly, otherwise the teacher would be embarrassed to death.

The head teacher let out a sigh after he finished speaking: "Qing Ning's parents, I have to go to class now. You'd better find out after Qing Ning comes home."

"Yes, okay, thank you, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun immediately explained: "Wife, things are not what you think, that day..."

Chen Yun briefly recounted what had happened. Qingxue listened expressionlessly, her hands clenched tightly, as if she was trying to hold back something.

Seeing my wife's expression, my voice of explanation became smaller and smaller, and more and more powerless.

Come to think of it, my previous performance scores were basically negative. I guess in the eyes of the two sisters, I am not only a scumbag, but also a freshman.

After he fell into a coma and read the rebirth memory in his dream that day, he discovered something that was like a stone pressing on his heart, but he didn't dare and couldn't tell anyone.

It turns out that Chen Yun never loved Qingxue at all.

Not even a trace.

But this silly girl just stood there waiting for him, waiting for the illusory thing - love.
