There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

After eating the watermelon, I rested for a while. It was already late.

Outside the window, the setting sun is like an orange lamp, hanging in the sky. The light it emits is no longer scorching and dazzling, but gives people a warm and soft feeling.

Kato and Kato Mieko went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner, leaving only Ye Yusheng, Kato Yuya and Yuma together.

Without the presence of Kato and Kato Mieko, the atmosphere in the living room changed, making Ye Yusheng feel uncomfortable all over, as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he sat on the sofa somewhat uncomfortably.

Kato Yuya didn't say much either, just sat quietly on the sofa, smoking and watching TV, but Ye Yusheng could always feel an indescribable sense of depression from him, especially when Yuzhen was playing by himself, the feeling was even more obvious.

The atmosphere also became more silent and depressing.

He wanted to speak to end this silent and depressing atmosphere, but he found that his mouth seemed to be stuck with glue and he couldn't open it or speak. He could only lower his head and sit aside awkwardly, playing with his fingers to pass the time.

How much he hoped that Kato would still be by his side, but he also knew that this was impossible, and that he could not avoid this hurdle.

What he didn't notice was that Kato Yuya also felt very uncomfortable. He smoked obviously more frequently, and the air was filled with smoke. At the same time, his attention was not on the TV, but he kept glancing at Ye Yusheng from time to time.

But he found that this little guy was like a piece of wood, just fiddling with his fingers blankly, with no intention of speaking at all, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Finally, Kato Yuya, who couldn't stand this atmosphere any longer, spoke first: "Um, your name is Ye Yusheng, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Ye Yusheng, who was suddenly called, immediately raised his head, straightened his body, looked directly at the other party, like a student who was suddenly called by the teacher, and answered nervously.

Looking at the somewhat uneasy boy in front of him, Kato Yuya couldn't help but recall the time when he faced his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It was as if he had returned to that nostalgic season, and his eyes looked at him with a little more gentleness.

However, when he thought that this guy was the one who kidnapped his little cabbage, the gentleness disappeared in an instant, and he even gritted his teeth and had the urge to beat him up.

Of course, he still couldn't do such a thing. Thinking about his wife's instructions, he could only feel depressed and angry.

"Xiaohui, have you been okay these past few months?"

In the end, that was all he could ask.

It can be seen that he cares about his daughter very much, but he is also not good at communication.

Ye Yusheng made this judgment.

At the same time, for some reason, the tension in his heart dissipated, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and he answered firmly: "Xiaohui, she is doing well."

Kato Yuya looked at him deeply, and seeing his smile that came from the heart, his worries were reduced a little. At least, this boy really liked his daughter.

Even the hostility in his eyes because of his daughter's abduction has lessened a lot: "Really? That's good."

Then, there was another moment of silence.

The atmosphere that had finally become lively gradually cooled down again. Even Youzhen, who was playing nearby, was affected. He felt a little uncomfortable and sneaked out of the living room.

After leaving the living room, Youzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little confused as to why the atmosphere just now felt so uncomfortable.

However, as he was still young, he didn't think too much about it and soon started playing by himself again.

In the kitchen, Kato was a little worried: "Are Dad and the others okay?"

Kato Mieko was busy with her work. She looked at Kato with amusement and said casually, "There's nothing to worry about. At most, it will just be an awkward atmosphere. Anyway, there's no chance of a fight."

Hearing his mother's words, Kato's mouth twitched. He looked at her speechlessly and complained, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Mieko Kato didn't continue teasing her daughter. Instead, she chuckled and said, "That was Xiaohui, you don't know the scene of your grandfather and your father meeting for the first time. Tsk tsk, compared to that, your father's is already pretty good."

"That was the first time my father and grandfather met. How could I have possibly seen them? I wasn't even born then!" Kato complained. However, she was also curious and asked, "Can you tell me about it? I haven't heard you mention it before, Mom."

Kato Mieko recalled something: "When I brought your father home, your grandfather looked at him with such favor that it was no exaggeration to say he was looking at him as an enemy."

Recalling the expression his father gave Xiaoye, Kato's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Kato Mieko couldn't help but smile and continued, "That look, your father was so scared that he almost hid behind me."

"So what's next?" Kato asked curiously.

"Then, your father faced your grandfather's murderous gaze, looked him in the face, and vowed to marry me."

Yuya at that time was really handsome, Kato Mieko added in her heart,

"How amazing!" Kato exclaimed.

"It's really impressive." Kato Mieko nodded. "At that time, I was shocked. I never thought that your somewhat soft father could be so strong. I just felt that your father was radiant."

"What about my grandpa? How is he doing?"

"Your grandfather was also shocked. But later, he told me privately that your father is a good person who is worthy of entrusting your life to." As she said this, Kato Mieko couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, my grandpa actually said something like that?"

Kato was a little surprised.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the old man who was so serious and conservative would say such a thing."

"Of course, he still can't stand your father." As she said this, Kato Mieko chuckled again.

"So?" Kato still looked towards the living room with some worry.

Kato Mieko patted her shoulder gently: "So, don't worry."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but blink her eyes and said mysteriously, "Maybe, when we go out again, we might find that your father and your boyfriend have become as close as father and son."

Kato nodded, feeling less worried.

"But you really like Xiaoye." Looking at her daughter's worried look, Kato Mieko couldn't help but teasing.

"Mom, Mom, what are you talking about!"

Looking at her face that turned red with embarrassment because of her words, Kato Mieko couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

My own daughter's expression changes so much because of a boy. When she lives with them, she is so cold, as if she has no expression.

At the same time, I felt relieved. At least, Xiao Hui became more lively. She chuckled and said, "Okay, I won't say anything."

Kato puffed his cheeks: "Really."

It looked like a puffed-up pufferfish, so cute that Kato Mieko couldn't help but poke it. It was soft and she sighed in her heart that Xiaohui had really changed a lot.

The atmosphere in the living room was no longer so silent, especially when Ye Yusheng inadvertently discovered that the other party was actually a daughter slave and a wife-doting maniac.

"Uncle, you have such good taste. You can find such a gentle and beautiful wife like Aunt." Ye Yusheng said kindly.

Kato Yuya couldn't help but smile and patted his shoulder: "You kid, you really know how to talk!"

Perhaps because he was happy, he hit Ye Yusheng a little harder, causing his shoulders to ache. However, he still tried to maintain a smile on his face and praised him, "I think, when uncle was young, he must have been a handsome young man."

"Of course. Back then, I was well-known in the surrounding area. I wonder how many young girls liked me."

"Even your aunt fell in love with me at first sight." Kato Yuya said.

But Ye Yusheng clearly saw it. He secretly glanced in the direction of the kitchen, as if confirming something. When he saw that there was no movement, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It goes without saying that the other party must be bragging, but this did not affect Ye Yusheng. He put on an admiring look and flattered: "That uncle is really amazing."

Hearing his words, Kato Yuya's smile grew even wider. "Of course. You know, my father-in-law is a very old-fashioned and serious man. However, when we first met, he smiled and said to me, 'My daughter is in your hands!'"

Kato and her daughter, who had just walked to the door of the living room, looked at each other in surprise.

"Is that so, dear?"

Kato Mieko asked.

Kato Yuya was suddenly stunned. He secretly glanced at Ye Yusheng and found that the other party still had an admiring look on his face. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at his wife with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Noticing her father's little movements, Kato's mouth twitched involuntarily. She never thought that her taciturn father had such a lively side.

But, Dad, you've been exposed!

She clearly saw Ye Yusheng's slightly raised mouth corners and a sigh.

But, let it be, at least leave some fantasy for her father, she thought.

Kato Mieko had no intention of ruining the show. Well, there would be time later. She looked around the living room and asked curiously, "Where's Yuma?"

Kato Yuya scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I was playing here at the beginning."

"Really?" She turned to look at Kato and said, "Xiaohui, go find your brother and tell him to wash his hands and get ready for dinner."

"Ok."

After saying that, Kato left the living room.

Then, Kato Mieko looked at Ye Yusheng and said, "Xiaoye, come here and help me serve the dishes."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Yusheng followed somewhat stiffly, leaving Kato Yuya alone sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Xiaoye, did your uncle give you any trouble?"

At this moment, Ye Yusheng finally understood why Kato Mieko asked him for help.

Although he had some social anxiety, Ye Yusheng wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth. Or rather, at a time like this, he had only one answer. With a smile on his face, he said, "Not really."

However, Kato Mieko didn't believe it, or perhaps she knew her husband's character too well: "Don't make excuses for him. I believe the atmosphere must have been very awkward at the beginning."

Ye Yusheng, who was exposed, was extremely embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"But it's great that you two can get along so well."

"Eh?"

Ye Yusheng raised his head in surprise.

Kato Mieko smiled gently and explained, "Don't be so surprised. Xiaohui has already told us about your life story. As an orphan with no one to rely on, it must have been very difficult."

"But now, you are no longer alone. Not only do you have Xiaohui to accompany you, but I will also treat you as my own child."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly with a hint of smile: "Of course, as our son-in-law, it seems there is nothing wrong with saying that he is our child."

Ye Yusheng understood why the other party asked him to call her mom when they first met.

However, it's no wonder that this is a family that raised a gentle person like Kato. Everyone is very nice.

The gentle and virtuous Aunt Mieko, Uncle Yuya who appears serious but actually cares about his family, the innocent Yuma, and the lovely Xiaohui.

But why do I feel like crying?

"Why are you crying, kid?"

Kato Mieko said this as if to reproach him, but she gently wiped the slightly moist corners of his eyes.

"Thank you, Mom, Mom."

He spoke somewhat dryly.

Hearing his title, Kato Mieko was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but smile: "Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore, hurry up and help me serve the dishes."

"Okay, Mom."

For some reason, he no longer felt shy and could easily call out this name.

This kid makes me a little shy.

Soon, all the food was served on the table.

And Kato also found his younger brother.

I have to say that Mieko Kato’s cooking skills are excellent, and she is worthy of being the person who can teach Kato to be such a cooking expert.

Each dish is so exquisite, like a work of art, and so delicious that it leaves a lingering aftertaste.

The most important thing is that the portion is quite large, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat.

After dinner, Ye Yusheng and the others, all with bulging bellies, sat on the sofa and chatted.

"Mom, why does it feel like there's so much?"

"Mom, mom?"

Hearing Ye Yusheng's question, Kato Youya felt like his brain was about to crash. He looked at him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Even Kato and Yuma were a little surprised.

Although he knew that his mother asked Ye Yusheng not to call her auntie but to call her mom, at that time, Ye Yusheng found it so difficult and awkward to do so.

Now, it is so natural, as if he is a part of this family and has lived with them for several years. This change must have happened.

Kato Mieko ignored everyone's overreaction and instead explained with a smile, "I know what you're confused about, Xiaoye. However, the small portions are not only a social custom, but more importantly, they are influenced by economic ability."

"As for our family, financial ability is not a problem at all, so naturally, what we pursue is not how to save money, but how to make our lives better and more comfortable."

"So that's it."

Ye Yusheng nodded to show his understanding.

Maybe it was because I was used to living in a villa that I subconsciously ignored Kato's family situation. Now that I think about it, it's really great. Not only does everyone have their own room, but even the living room, kitchen, and bathroom are separate.

Not to mention, the decorations that looked very expensive.

At the same time, Ye Yusheng felt somewhat fortunate that he was now a man of considerable worth. Otherwise, facing Kato, who had such a good family, he would have felt quite pressured.
