“Is Mother saying that you think I’m old?” Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile.
“I’m not saying you’re old, but Lu Sheng looks too young.”
Fu Ting suddenly thought of Lu Zhou. A person in his fifties looked like he was in his late twenties.
“Sheng Sheng, tell me quickly. Does your family have any secrets in maintaining one’s looks? I think everyone in your family looks different from their age.”
“Yes.”
Lu Sheng said, “My father knows how to make some facial cream. If Aunt wants it, I’ll get Ah Yan to bring two boxes back for you today.”
Fu Ting’s eyes lit up, but she pretended to force herself to say, “Oh, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?”
Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
“Then… alright!”
Fu Ting glanced at Chu Sihan and raised her eyebrows.
Her meaning was obvious. She was reminding him not to forget.
“It’s New Year’s Day tomorrow, right?” Fu Ting said to Lu Sheng, “Why don’t you come with Yan Er tomorrow?”
“I’m not coming back tomorrow.”
Before Lu Sheng could reply, Chu Sihan had already made his stand clear. “I have something on tomorrow.”
Fu Ting frowned. “What do you have?”
“I have a lot of things to do.”
Chu Sihan stood up and tidied his clothes. He looked down at Fu Ting and said, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first.”
Then, he pulled Lu Sheng up from her seat.
“Where’s Brother going? Bring Ah Jiang along too!”
Chu Jiang jumped over and hugged Chu Sihan’s leg. He spoke in a childish voice.
Chu Sihan raised his hand and rudely flicked his forehead. Chu Jiang was in pain and burst into tears.
Lu Sheng was speechless.
“Oh, how can you hit your brother?” Fu Ting hugged Chu Jiang and glared at Chu Sihan unhappily.
“It’s just a flick. How can a boy be so feeble?” Chu Sihan said disdainfully.
When Chu Jiang heard that, his cries stopped immediately. He pouted and looked at him aggrievedly with tears in his eyes.
Lu Sheng’s heart softened. She looked at Chu Sihan and hesitated. “Ah Yan, why don’t…”
“No!”
Before Lu Sheng could finish speaking, Chu Sihan rejected her.
He looked at Chu Jiang and said lightly, “It’s not convenient for us adults to bring you out to play. You should still stay at home and play with Grandpa and Grandma.”
Fu Ting narrowed her eyes. She kept feeling that her son’s personality had changed.
“Oh!”
Chu Jiang wiped his tears and replied aggrievedly.
Chu Sihan nodded in satisfaction and left with Lu Sheng.
The two of them did not return to the Lu family directly. Instead, they went to the market to buy ingredients.
Before the banquet dispersed yesterday, Zeng Zijuan said that she still wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs with pineapple cubes, so Lu Sheng bought some pork ribs and pineapple.
“Do you eat pig trotters?”
When they passed by the pork stall, Lu Sheng asked Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “You know I’m not picky.”
“Who said that?” Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “You clearly don’t like sweet food.”
Chu Sihan chuckled. “That’s not being picky. It’s just that I don’t like it. It’s not that I can’t eat it.”
“Then, I’ll buy pig trotters.”
She wanted to make pig trotters with red wine. She had not eaten them for a long time.
She bought two pig trotters and filled a big bag.
In the end, she went to buy some seafood.
Their four hands were full of bags. When they were placed in the car boot, they almost could not contain them.
At this moment, in the group chat, Jun Hao said unhappily, “Didn’t you say we could come over at noon? Why is it the afternoon now?”
Chu Sihan glanced at it and thought for a while before replying, “Because I’m happy.”
Then, he turned off his phone and stopped looking at the group chat.
