On the second day after returning from vacation in New Zealand, Cheng Xi received a call from his mother, asking him to take his boyfriend home for dinner.

When he received the call, Cheng Xi was still nestled in Lu Miaozhou's arms, his sleepy eyes were blurred, and there were some ambiguous red marks on his neck, which were barely covered by the crumpled T-shirt.

"Cheng Xi, you said you didn't bring your boyfriend back because your team was busy with the competition. Now that the competition is over and the championship has been won, you should be free, right?"

"Your father and I have been looking for someone to clean up the guest room at home recently. Hurry up and bring Xiaozhou back to us for a look. If it's suitable, you can see which country you want to go to get a certificate..."

"Well, you two come over for lunch today!"

Cheng Xi blinked his eyes, and the light brown peach blossom eyes were stained with a layer of laziness and sleepiness. With the nagging female voice coming from the phone, he gradually became clear. When he heard the words "Come over for lunch today", he was shocked .

The young man raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then glanced at the phone blankly, then raised his eyes to look at Lu Miaozhou: "Lu, Brother Lu, we..."

Lu Miaozhou squinted his phoenix eyes, took the phone from the frightened young master, stroked Cheng Xi's soft short hair soothingly, and said in a low voice.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Lu Miaozhou...Come over for dinner? Well, okay, we'll arrive around twelve o'clock, and Xiaoxi is still sleeping, just waking up. Don't worry, I'll watch him finish breakfast."

Two minutes later, Lu Miaozhou hung up the phone calmly. Seeing the reddish ear tips of the young master fidgeting in his arms, he couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch them gently.

"What's the matter, Xiaoxi, what are you doing so nervous? It's just a matter of seeing a parent, isn't it a matter of time?"

"Could it be...do you think your boyfriend can't do it?"

Cheng Xi retorted subconsciously: "Of course not!"

Why is he nervous that his boyfriend can't take it out...

He didn't spend much time with his parents when he was young, and he hasn't been home for a long time after he entered the e-sports circle. He didn't know how to talk to his parents when he went back suddenly.

"I'm... I don't know how to talk to my parents, and I don't know what to do to make them happy when I go back."

Cheng Xi sat up, his body stiffened for a while, and he finally got over a sense of discomfort. He slowly tried to remove the jacket that fell on the ground, but Lu Miaozhou took him back with his arms around his waist.

"...They will be happy when you go back."

The end of her hair was kissed lightly, and the young man's hoarse and lazy voice rang clearly in his ears, with a bit of gentleness mixed with a smile.

"When I went to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I wasn't even nervous yet, why did Xiaoxi get nervous first?

"It just so happens that you haven't been home for a long time, right? You can stay a few more days when we go this time, and I'll tell Chen Bisheng to help you ask for leave later."

Cheng Xi's racing heartbeat calmed down a bit. After thinking for a while, he gave a soft "um" and asked softly, "What about you? Stay with me for a few more days?"

Lu Miaozhou gave a low laugh, put the young master on the spot, got up and went to the closet to get two sets of clean and decent clothes, and handed one set to Cheng Xi.

"If my father-in-law and mother-in-law don't mind, I'll stay with you for two more days."

"They definitely don't dislike... what kind of father-in-law and mother-in-law! They are obviously parents-in-law!"

Cheng Xi argued in a low voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Miaozhou's half-smile eyes glinting across his neck.

He looked down at Lu Miaozhou's line of sight, and saw two ambiguous red marks on his neck.

"Whether it is the father-in-law or the father-in-law, Xiaoxi knows in her heart."

The young man blushed, coughed lightly, pretended not to hear what Lu Miaozhou said, took off his clothes, wrapped them in a quilt, and put them on.

"I'm hungry and want to eat small wontons."

Lu Miaozhou curled his lips helplessly, and said dotingly: "Okay, Master Cheng, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the small kitchen and make wontons for you."

When taking a taxi to the Cheng family's villa, Cheng Xi tugged at the hem of his shirt, still feeling a little unreal.

Although they usually wear team uniforms at the team base, there are still a lot of good clothes in the closet. Instead, they don't need to go to the mall to buy them temporarily. They can pick out two sets at will and go home.

It's just...they were still looking at the ranch and the beach in New Zealand yesterday, and after sleeping all night, they suddenly wanted to go home to meet their parents?

When Cheng Xi went to pull the hem for countless times, Lu Miaozhou finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, wrapped the young man's hand in his palm, and stuffed it into the pocket of his windbreaker.

The two of them were wearing peaked caps and black masks, which completely covered their faces, and they were not wearing team uniforms, so they were not recognized by the taxi driver.

It's just that Cheng Xi saw the driver's curious eyes when he looked back at them, and with a guilty conscience, he obediently stayed still and leaned against Lu Miaozhou until the taxi stopped outside the villa area.

"Dad, Mom, we're here..."

The courtyard door opened quickly.

Lu Miaozhou walked behind Cheng Xi carrying the gift box he brought, and when he saw Cheng Xi's parents coming out to greet him, he was not as restrained as he first met.

Cheng Xi once showed him the family portrait in the photo album of his mobile phone. The smiling and kind people in front of him were slightly older than those in the photo, but there was not much difference in fact.

It was Cheng Xi who was stunned.

He has been a professional e-sports player for several years, and he has not returned home for several years.

In the beginning, it was true that the team was busy with training, but later it was because he himself was timid because of his closeness to his hometown. The longer the time passed, the less he dared to go back.

When he was young, his parents were busy with business, and he was used to being alone. It wasn't until he met Lu Miaozhou in high school that he seemed to reconcile with the time when something was missing.

Naturally, he should also reconcile with his parents. After all, if he didn't have this relationship with his parents these years, maybe he wouldn't be so smooth in the e-sports circle.

Without the support of my parents, there would be no AIM and this year's World Championship trophy.

"Cheng Xi, you child, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you bring Xiaozhou in quickly?"

Cheng Xi came back to his senses suddenly, and saw his mother had walked in front of him at some point, but the familiar yet unfamiliar eyebrows and eyes were already stained with a few fine lines.

The corners of his eyes suddenly became sore.

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend. He... treats me very well, very very nice."

"Hello uncle and aunt, a little greeting..."

Cheng's mother smiled and led the two into the living room: "It's good that people come, what gifts do you bring... Oh, is this milk powder imported from New Zealand?"

"Yes, we bought it by the way when we were traveling in New Zealand."

"Xiaozhou, it's your first time here, we don't know what you like to eat, so we just prepared some random meals, you can see if it suits your appetite..."

Lu Miaozhou naturally pulled out the chair, let Cheng Xi sit on it, and then sat next to the young man: "I don't have any taboos, I like to eat most of the dishes... On the other hand, Xiao Xi is picky eaters, so she has never gained weight."

Cheng Xi just took a sip of milk, and choked when he heard the words: "Where am I picky eaters? I just don't like vegetables very much, I, I..."

He seems to be really picky, he is willing to eat many things only after Lu Miaozhou coaxes him.

The boy fell silent, and wrinkled his face when he saw the two plates of vegetables placed in front of his table.

Cheng's mother couldn't help laughing: "Xiaozhou is right, our family Cheng Xi has been picky eaters since he was a child... he was thinner when he was a child, but now he seems to be a little fatter."

Cheng Xi took a bite of the vegetable and saw that Lu Miaozhou had picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him. He pursed his lips and smiled contentedly: "...Brother Lu raised it."

Cheng's mother nodded with satisfaction: "... When you were young, your father and I were busy with work and didn't have much time to accompany you. It was too late to make up for it."

"Fortunately, you are growing up very well now. With a career you like and someone you like, mom can rest assured..."

Cheng Xi lowered his eyes slightly to hide the tears accumulated in his eyes, and was unexpectedly patted on the back by Lu Miaozhou.

The young man choked up, looking at the table full of dishes that he liked very much when he was a child.

"Mom, it's not too late...it's because I haven't had enough time to go home these few years."

"I, I want to stay at home for a few more days this time, Mom, I..."

"It's good to stay for a few more days. You live with Xiaozhou. I've cleaned up the guest room. There are still many photos of you when you were young in your room. You can take Xiaozhou to see it later!"

Lu Miaozhou curled his lips, and his phoenix eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and he responded softly: "Then please trouble uncle and aunt...Xiaoxi must have been pretty when she was young, right?"

"It's beautiful, like a porcelain doll!"

Cheng Xi picked up a few chopsticks and put them in his mother's bowl.

Looking sideways at Lu Miaozhou again, a bright smile burst out from the water stains in his eyes, and he whispered.

"Pretty... It's not cheap for you."
