Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

"Hmm? You know what I'm going to say?" Lu Lan asked suspiciously.

“Sigh,” Xie Yunting decided to be disloyal and let Huang Chen fend for himself: “Aunt Lu, you should watch the show yourself. I can’t explain it clearly in a few words.”

"Hmph, I won't watch." Hearing this, Lu Lan became unhappy again.

After waiting for a while, Huang Chen's father, Huang Longfei, and his older brother, Huang Kai, also came home from get off work.

"Kai, what brings you back today?"

Upon seeing her eldest son, Lu Lan immediately stood up and went to greet him, constantly glancing behind him.

"Mom, stop looking, I came alone." Seeing his mother's action, Huang Kai understood.

Upon discovering that her daughter-in-law and beloved granddaughter were absent, Lu Lan turned around, sat back down, and said irritably, "Then what are you doing here today?"

Huang Kai: "..."

It's clearly the same question as the one asked earlier, so why does it feel so different?

"Hey, who bought these flowers?"

Seeing a bouquet of flowers next to his wife, Huang Longfei felt a little uneasy and full of curiosity.

Before receiving a reply, Huang Chen, who had heard the commotion in the hall, wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen, leaving Aunt Zhang alone in the kitchen, her face filled with complicated emotions, feeling sad.

"Dad, brother, you're back?"

Mr. Huang was about to laugh when he saw his youngest son, but then he remembered something, glanced at his wife whose face was expressionless, and could only put on a stern face again: "I see you've grown up and know how to come back?!"

After saying that, he glanced at his wife's expressionless face, unable to fathom her emotions, and didn't know what to say next.

Huang Kai noticed that his younger brother came out of the kitchen, so he asked directly, "What were you doing in the kitchen?"

"Oh, I just cooked two dishes."

Huang Chen's casual remark stunned almost everyone in the living room, except for Xie Yunting, of course.

At this point, Mr. Huang didn't care about reading people's expressions anymore and stammered, "Um, shall we start eating then?"

Lu Lan stood up and walked towards the restaurant, feeling very pleased that her son had finally become sensible, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

Huang Chen returned to the kitchen, told Aunt Zhang that dinner was ready, and then took out the two dishes he had made.

After placing the plates on the table, Huang Chen pointed to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the stir-fried shrimp with eggs and wood ear mushrooms in front of him and said, "I made these two dishes. Everyone can try them later."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, while Xie Yunting silently complained in his heart: When will Lao Huang get rid of this habit of being so obsessed with eggs?

Aunt Zhang has managed to stay in this family for so many years, so she must have some skill. The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, but everyone's eyes were glued to the two dishes Huang Chen had brought out, yet no one dared to take a bite.

Lu Lan glanced at Huang Longfei beside her and gestured with her eyes for him to try it.

Under pressure from his wife, Huang Longfei reached out with his chopsticks. Although his hands were trembling, he managed to put the chopsticks safely into his mouth.

"Hmm..." Seeing everyone staring at him, Huang Longfei chewed a few times and swallowed, then put down his chopsticks: "Sure."

She looked at her son with a hint of admiration, and when she noticed that no one was touching their chopsticks, she said, "Why aren't you eating? You can eat it."

Xie Yunting had already tasted his brother's cooking before, so he was very obliging and took a big bite, nodding repeatedly.

Yes, they have indeed made a lot of progress.

Seeing that two people had already tried it and their complexions were normal, the others felt relieved and started doing it themselves.

Lu Lan picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tasted it. Seeing her son looking at her expectantly, she nodded and said, "It's alright."

Knowing her mother's personality well, Huang Chen knew that this was already a pretty good compliment.

Mu Xueying knew her best friend very well; she was actually a stubborn, soft-hearted, and arrogant person. She turned to her son and said, "Look at you, you grew up with Xiao Chen, and now he can cook really well. What about you?"

Xie Yunting, with food still in his mouth, looked completely bewildered. How did this conflict turn around and involve him? But seeing Aunt Lu's slightly upturned lips beside him, he thought, "Fine, in the end, I'll take the blame."

The meal turned out alright, and thanks to Xie Yunting's self-sacrifice, Huang and her son finally reconciled.

After the meal, Huang Kai called Huang Chen upstairs.

"What nonsense are you spouting on the show?"

"Oh, you wanted to talk about that?" Huang Chen sat down, looking around the room as if searching for something. "What, did your sister-in-law ask you some questions?"

"Hmph, that's not entirely true."

Huang Kai pushed up his glasses and said casually.

"Brother, I have a question for you. Did you take all your old photo albums with you?"

Huang Kai walked up to a large cabinet, opened the door, and said, "All the old things are here. What do you want?"

"I'm looking for something."

As he spoke, Huang Chen went over and took out a thick photo album that looked a bit old, and returned to the sofa to look through it.

Huang Kai, unaware of his intentions, was intrigued and joined in. The album contained mostly old photos from his childhood to his student days; he hadn't taken it with him when he got married, fearing his mother might suddenly become nostalgic.

When he turned to a page, his hand paused slightly, and he immediately sped up to turn the page, but Huang Kai, who had sharp eyes, stopped him.

"Oh dear, I don't remember having this photo at all. Let me try to remember."

Huang Kai's voice was full of teasing as he moved his hand and pulled out the photo, ignoring Huang Chen's objections.

The photo shows a two- or three-year-old child wearing a fluffy princess dress, with a small dot of lipstick on her forehead, looking very cute.

"Hahahaha, what were we doing back then? Look how happy you are laughing."

Huang Kai, completely ignoring his younger brother's dark expression, laughed so hard he almost fell over.

Huang Chen rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him, silently complaining about his mother's perverse sense of humor, and continued flipping through the pages.

Just as the photo album was about to be empty, Huang Chen finally saw what he was looking for.

In the photo, little Huang Chen is standing on the beach, making a peace sign at the camera. Next to him is a small, shapeless sand pile, and next to the sand pile sits a little girl with a sad face looking at the camera, with faint tear stains on her face.

Looking at the photo, Huang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing this, Huang Kai leaned over and said, "What did you see that made you so happy? Let me see it too."

He flipped through the photos: "It's nothing, just give me the one you have too."

"Tsk," seeing his actions, Huang Kai also put away the photo in his hand: "I won't give it to him. I'm keeping this for my future sister-in-law to see."
