Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

In the evening, Chen Shaoman hurriedly returned home and jogged to the large living room on the first floor.

Looking at the empty living room, Chen Shaoman frowned and immediately shouted, "Luo Ye! Come out and greet your aunt!"

The sound carried up to the second floor. Luo Ye opened the door to his room, poked his head out, and glanced at his aunt whom he hadn't seen for a semester.

He looked nervous and forced a smile, saying, "Auntie, you're back."

"Get down here."

"Oh……"

Luo Ye, wearing cotton slippers, ran down from the second floor and stood in front of his aunt.

Chen Shaoman looked Luo Ye over from beginning to end, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, not bad, not missing any limbs."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye's forehead went black.

He's going to school, not to fight a war.

Luo Ye's aunt is very beautiful. She takes good care of herself and looks like she's in her thirties.

His parents were in their thirties when they had him because of their professions, while his aunt had Gu Mingxuan not long after getting married, so Luo Ye is his cousin.

Most people wouldn't guess that my aunt is already fifty years old.

She's fifty years old, but she still acts like a young girl every day.

Luo Ye thought to himself.

Suddenly, Auntie stepped forward, hugged Luo Ye, and said softly, "You little rascal, I've missed you so much."

Since Luo Ye came to their home, he has never left them.

This time, she went on a long trip and was gone for several months. At first, Chen Shaoman was worried every day.

Is Luo Ye eating well over there? Has he made any friends? Has he been bullied?

Gu Mingxuan, that brat. She was hoping that after Luo Ye went there, her own son could help him out more. But as soon as Luo Ye arrived in Jiangcheng, that brat took a plane and went abroad.

When Gu Mingxuan comes back, she will definitely give him a good scolding.

However, if Gu Mingxuan found out, he would definitely cry foul.

After all, he felt that although he hadn't done anything special, he hadn't neglected to take care of Luo Ye at all.

He even sacrificed his most prized student.

“Come on, tell your aunt what you went through over there.”

Chen Shaoman pulled Luo Ye to sit on the sofa.

"I didn't experience anything..." Luo Ye scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Chen Shaoman showed a suspicious expression.

She glanced at Luo Ye, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness, and said, "You have a secret now. You used to tell your aunt everything..."

Changing the subject, Chen Shaoman revealed a sly smile and said, "Have you met a girl who's more important than your aunt? Is that why you don't want to share her with your aunt anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye quickly said, "What are you saying, Auntie? To me, you are like my mother. No one is more important than you."

"What about her?"

"She...is just as important as you."

"Oh? There really is."

Chen Shaoman's smile grew wider and wider. Her curiosity was practically bursting out of her head. She wished Luo Ye would write a novel so she could read every single word about what he had experienced in Jiangdadu.

"Yes, I have a girlfriend." Luo Ye lowered his head and admitted shyly.

"Haha, no wonder he's my nephew, he's already dating as soon as he enters college."

Chen Shaoman was laughing so hard she was practically going crazy, her lips curving upwards uncontrollably.

As I get older, I enjoy watching young people fall in love.

But none of the recent TV dramas are interesting; my nephew's love life is much more interesting.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore. I'll ask her myself when you bring that girl home later. By the way, where are Sister Liu and Aunt Li?"

"They went to buy groceries."

"Okay, don't you love Sister Liu's pork ribs and braised crucian carp the most? I'll make them for you today."

"Um……"

Luo Ye responded somewhat awkwardly.

I really want to eat the food my senior cooks.

Not long after, Liu Yan, Li Hui, and Li Hui's daughter Ouyang Mingyue returned home carrying several bags of vegetables and meat.

"Oh right, Xiao Ye, Mingyue is Aunt Li's child. Mingxuan isn't here, your university is so far away, and Gu Rancheng is busy with work, so I'm all alone at home. Plus, Aunt Li has some special circumstances, so I had her daughter come and stay with me temporarily. Anyway, this house is so big, and she can keep me company sometimes."

"I know, Auntie."

After returning home, Luo Ye had already learned the general situation.

Aunt Li has a son and a daughter. After her divorce, her daughter was given to her. At first, her daughter suffered a lot with her until Aunt Liu introduced her to be her nanny, and then things got a little better.

Thinking of this, the image of the fairy senior sister reappeared in Luo Ye's mind.

Ouyang Mingyue's situation seems to be similar to that of the fairy senior.

However, Ouyang Mingyue was somewhat introverted and didn't say a word to Luo Ye the whole time.

Luo Ye didn't care.

night.

My aunt's husband, Gu Rancheng, is back.

Upon seeing Luo Ye, he walked over with a serious expression.

Luo Ye's expression also turned serious.

The two looked at each other.

After a long silence, Luo Ye broke the silence first and said, "Hello, Uncle-in-law."

"Hello."

After exchanging greetings, the two fell silent again.

Chen Shaoman, who was standing to the side, almost cried with laughter.

"You men are so strange. You act like strangers after just a few months apart. It's hilarious."

Upon hearing this, both Gu Rancheng and Luo Ye blushed.

Although Gu Rancheng was over fifty years old, his hair was only half white, and he was in good spirits. Coupled with his expensive suit, he looked incredibly robust.

"It's time to eat."

Liu Yan, Li Hui, and Ouyang Mingyue brought out various delicacies from the kitchen one after another.

Normally, the nanny wouldn't sit at the table to eat; there's a nanny room in this villa for her to rest in.

But if Ouyang Mingyue insisted on saying that she was a guest visiting the place, not an aunt, and that she was just a junior high school student, Chen Shaoman would make a special effort to have her eat with them to save her pride.

At this moment, the little girl sat next to Luo Ye, looking somewhat inferior. No one touched their chopsticks, so she didn't dare to move or speak.

"Cough cough."

Chen Shaoman, acting like the head of the household, glanced around at the group and said, "Let's eat."

The food on the table was plentiful, but as Luo Ye ate, he started thinking about his senior again.

Today is only his first day back home.

It felt like he had lived through a century.

Luo Ye decided to marry his senior as soon as he graduated, without delaying even a day.

These days without my senior are too unbearable.

Noticing Luo Ye's worried expression, Chen Shaoman pouted and said, "Someone's not paying attention."

Gu Rancheng: "Wife, I'm innocent."

Luo Ye: "Auntie, no way."

Ouyang Mingyue: "Madam, I'm sorry!"

The three of them spoke at the same time.

Chen Shaoman: ...

Ouyang Mingyue looked at the group with a blank expression, her beautiful black eyes darting around as she observed each person.
