My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Listening to everyone asking him, Father Zhou stroked the dumpling in his arms and said gently: "Of course I don't like it, this little thing is so cute."

Everyone asked a few questions one after another, and someone asked, "Where did you get this puppy from?"

Finally hearing this, Zhou's father puffed out his chest, as if he was proud, and replied with a smile: "My son brought his girlfriend home yesterday to celebrate New Year's Day. This puppy is his girlfriend's. I thought I would take it out for a walk this morning."

Father Zhou emphasized the words "my son's girlfriend" with extra emphasis.

When Mr. Li heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Your Qi Zheng has a girlfriend? He even brought her home?"

After hearing what he said, Zhou's father was somewhat unwilling: "What kind of talk is this? My Qi Zheng is capable and talented, is it possible that he can't get married?"

Mr. Li quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. Didn't you say it yourself before? You said it's trendy among young people to not get married. You didn't care if your Qi Zheng didn't find a girlfriend. You said you should respect the decisions of young people."

Bullshit! How could he not be anxious? He was so anxious that he was afraid that he would not see his son get married and have children on the day he left.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Qizhen's academic and work abilities have never bothered him. No matter whether he is a business rival or a close friend, they all envy him for having such an outstanding son. However, the only issue of his lifelong affairs makes him envy others and say such insincere words in front of many friends.

"It's a different time now. Before, my Qi Zheng hadn't found anyone he liked."

Mr. Li continued, "So your son likes this one very much now?"

Before Zhou's father could say anything, Old Man Sun spoke first: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You brought her home, how could I not like her? Haven't you seen that girl? She looks like a porcelain doll, and her appearance is a perfect match for Qi Zheng."

Mr. Li said, "Really? Congratulations! Please invite us to your wedding banquet."

Father Zhou's face was flushed with joy, and he smiled and responded, "Don't worry, I'll be the first to tell you when the two of you set a date."

……

Lin Lin's bedroom.

Lu Xiaoqiao woke up on her own without using an alarm clock.

After getting up, he called Lin Lin for a long time, but seeing that she didn't want to get up, he washed and packed up himself and went downstairs.

When she was going down the stairs, she ran into Zhou Qizhen who had just returned from exercising. This was the first time she saw Zhou Qizhen wearing anything other than business attire.

The black T-shirt paired with gray sports casual trousers looks a bit more casual and exciting than the usual serious outfit.

Lu Xiaoqiao's gaze could not help but move to his face. The hair on his forehead was slightly soaked with sweat, and it was obvious that he had been exercising for a long time before. But even so, there was no sign of breathing on his face.

"You're up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhou Qizhen asked her.

Lu Xiaoqiao gave him a look that said 'Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?'

Seeing his expression, she knew he was the former. Lu Xiaoqiao had no choice but to say, "How can you sleep until the sun is shining on your butt the first time you stay at your boyfriend's house?"

Zhou Qizheng said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? You can sleep as long as you want. No one dares to say anything."

Lu Xiaoqiao objected, "That won't do. Okay! I'm going downstairs now, you should go wash up!"

Zhou Qizhen said "hmm" and turned to go upstairs.

As Lu Xiaoqiao walked down the stairs, she saw Ouyang Yueyue already sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting with Zhao Yaqin. Seeing her coming, Zhao Yaqin waved to her to come over and sit down and chat.

After they chatted for a while, Zhao Yaqin said, "Look at you two young people, how come you get up so early just like us old people? Next time you come, you can sleep in as late as you want. What young person doesn't like to sleep in these days? Don't be embarrassed, just treat this place like your own home."

Lu Xiaoqiao and Ouyang Yueyue looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing.

At this time, Lin Ziyang came down from upstairs, still wearing pajamas, and sat on the sofa with sleepy eyes.

Leaning against Ouyang Yueyue, he lazily said, "Yes! Grandma, you're right. Nowadays, there are still young people who don't sleep in. Except for my uncle, that weird guy. He always gets up to exercise on weekdays and holidays. But then again, he probably doesn't belong to the ranks of us young people!"

Lin Ziyang yawned after he finished speaking, and before he closed his mouth, he heard a low voice from behind: "So, tell me, which group do I belong to?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Ziyang turned around in surprise and saw Zhou Qizhen, who had changed his clothes and was standing behind him in neat clothes.

The last bit of sleepiness that Lin Ziyang felt was gone in an instant!

"Uncle."

How could he forget that his uncle stayed at home last night!

Lin Ziyang suddenly remembered what Lin Lin had said to him yesterday. He had clapped his thigh and laughed at her at the time, but less than a day later, the same thing happened to him.

The same embarrassment, the same astonishment, the same elusive uncle...

"Have you finished the business plan for Gangcheng?" Zhou Qizhen asked him coldly.

Lin Ziyang: “…”

Ouyang Yueyue looked at Lin Ziyang resentfully, blaming him for being so rude all the time, and now he had hit a wall again!

Lu Xiaoqiao reached out and tugged at the corner of Zhou Qizheng's clothes: "Sister Yueyue just said she would take me to Haicheng to play! Do you want to go?"

Zhou Qizheng tilted his head slightly and asked her softly, "Do you want to go?"

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded.

"Okay, let's go then."

Seeing that his vacation was saved, Lin Ziyang happily gave Lu Xiaoqiao a grateful smile. Lin Lin was right, Xiaoqiao would be their "golden medal of immunity from death" in the future.

"Then I'll go change my clothes first." After saying that, Lin Ziyang pulled Ouyang Yueyue upstairs.

"Then what about my Tuanzi? Oh right! Where is my Tuanzi? Auntie, have you seen Tuanzi?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked.

Seeing that she had just remembered Tuanzi, Zhao Yaqin smiled and replied to her: "Don't worry! It's not lost. Your uncle took it out for a walk. You guys go play with yourselves. You can leave Tuanzi here without worry. I'll keep it for you to take good care of."

Lu Xiaoqiao agreed with a smile: "Okay, thank you, auntie. Then I'll quickly wake Lin Lin up and we'll set off after breakfast."

"Okay, go!" Zhao Yaqin watched Lu Xiaoqiao go upstairs, then turned to look at Zhou Qizheng and said cautiously, "Qizheng, your father and I prepared a gift for Xiaoqiao. Do you think we should give it to her now, or wait until you come back to pick up Tuanzi?"

Zhou Qizheng raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Give it to me now! I might not be able to make it back tonight."

Zhao Yaqin didn't expect Zhou Qizheng to answer her question so gently this time. Her eyes were red with joy. "Okay, I'll give it to her later."

……

Lin Lin was woken up by Lu Xiaoqiao. When she finished packing and went downstairs, she saw that everyone was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly found a seat to sit down.

After Lin Lin sat down, Zhao Yaqin asked her, "Didn't you go to bed early yesterday? Why do you still look sleepy?"

Lin Lin yawned and said, "I dreamt I took care of the child all night last night. I was so tired!"

Lu Xiaoqiao took the soy milk Zhou Qizheng handed her and asked, "Taking care of the child? Whose child?"

"Yours! You and my uncle have three children! They're chasing after me and calling me sister!"
