Zhen Tian didn’t think much about it and agreed right away. To have a fun day tomorrow, she decided to get off work early at midnight.
Ah Zhong, who was left alone to watch over the bar could only lament about love and how being a boss must be nice.
Chen Zui invited Zhen Tian to eat hot pot at noon. This place was chosen by Chen Yiran. Zhen Tian got up around 9 and started to get ready. Chen Zui and Chen Yiran did not idle either.
“Uncle, can you not wear a dress shirt every time?” Chen Yiran walked to Chen Zui’s closet and felt at a loss.
Chen Zui’s closet is mostly dark suits. At first glance, they all look the same. “Uncle, although you look good in a suit, people will get tired of looking at you in it.”
Chen Zui looked down at him, “Don’t I look good every time I wear it?”
Chen Yiran, “...”
Ever since his uncle gained some followers, he has been scrolling through Weibo more frequently.
“People who wear suits all the time and dress casually sometimes will make others take a second look.” Chen Yiran browsed through his closet and finally found a few T-shirts. “This one, it looks stylish.”
He was holding a navy long-sleeved t-shirt with a somewhat deep v-neck. After Chen Zui put it on, Chen Yiran nodded in satisfaction, “That’s it. Do you want to fix your hair?”
Chen Zui, “....”
“I’ll do it myself. You go get ready.” Chen Zui kicked Chen Yiran out of his room. He looked at himself in front of the full-length mirror then found a blowdryer and went to the bathroom.
Chen Yiran’s clothes were a bit more flamboyant than Chen Zui’s. He told Chen Zui not to wear a dress shirt but he found himself a dress shirt paired with a set of overalls and a wide-brimmed hat, looking like a little gentleman.
“Uncle, I’m done. Are you ready?” Chen Yiran looked at the clock on the wall. It is already 10 o’clock. If they continue to dawdle, it might be later than Sister Zhen Tian.
Chen Zui fixed his hair and walked out of the door, “Okay.”
Chen Yiran looked at him and froze. Then he gave him a thumbs-up, “Uncle, you are so handsome. I swear you will charm all the girls on the street.”
“Stop your flattery. Put on your shoes so we can go.”
“Okay!”
After the two got in the car, Chen Zui sends Zhen Tian a message, “We are heading out now. We will wait for you at the restaurant.”
Zhen Tian: Ahhh, I haven’t blow-dried my hair yet
Chen Zui smiled and replied, “No rush. It’s still early, take your time.”
Although he said this, Zhen Tian didn’t dare to keep them waiting. While blow-drying her hair in one hand, she replied back, “I will do it really fast!”
After drying her hair, Zhen Tian found a small delicate hairpin from the drawer and pinned it to her head. After taking a few more looks in the mirror, she went downstairs.
Today is Sunday so Zhen Tian’s father and brother are not working. As soon as Zhen Tian walked down, the three people sitting in the living room watching TV all looked up at her. Zhen Tian’s steps unconsciously faltered as she walked down the stairs pretending to be nonchalant.
The eyes of the three people in the living room moved with her movement. Pudding jumped out of Zhen Xi’s arms and ran to Zhen Tian to be petted.
Pudding’s appearance looked so cute that Zhen Tian couldn’t resist and stopped to pet him, “How is Little Pudding so cute.”
“Woof.”
Pudding has an intoxicated look on his face as she pets him. Ms. Wang Shuzhen took this opportunity to walk in front of her and block her way, “Where are you going? You’re not going to eat?”
Zhen Tian coughed and stood up straight, “No. I made plans with a friend yesterday to have a meal. When I came back, you were all asleep so I didn’t tell you.”
Old Zhen who was sitting on the sofa winked furiously at Ms. Wang Shuzhen who only glanced at him and said to Zhen Tian, “Your dad seems to have a problem with his eyes. Go check it out.”
Old Zhen, “.....”
Zhen Tian looked at him and saw nothing wrong with him: "Dad, is there something wrong with your eyes?"
"No..." He felt uncomfortable, "Tiantian, which friend are you going out with? Where are you going?"
“It’s a friend from high school. You don’t know them.”
Zhen Xi looked on in excitement, “Tell us their name. How do you know we don’t know them if you don’t tell us?”
Zhen Tian had always had a small group of friends. He knows all their names so how could he not know this one.
"You want to know? I won't tell you." Zhen Tian bent down and picked up Pudding. She stuffed him into Ms. Wang Shuzhen's arms and said, "You can play with Pudding. I'm leaving."
She quickly ran to the door, put on her shoes, and walked out.
“Woof.” Pudding innocently cried out in Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s arms.
Old Zhen looked at Ms. Wang Shuzhen and solemnly asked, “Is Tiantian dating? She should tell us if she is.”
Zhen Xi, “Maybe they are still trying to get to know each other.”
Old Zhen felt like someone stabbed him in the heart, “Zhen Xi, why don’t you follow your sister and take a look.”
“No way. If she finds out, she is going to kill me.” Zhen Xi stood up and walked upstairs. “I going to my room. Call me when it is time to eat.”
Old Zhen looked at his back and twitched his mouth. Why is it that the one who should be dating is staying home all day while Tiantian is going out every day?
The pair of siblings are worrisome.
Zhen Tian drove herself to the hot pot restaurant Chen Zui mentioned. This hot pot restaurant is quite famous in A City, and she has come here many times. When Chen Zui arrived, he had already sent their table number to Zhen Tian. Zhen Tian reported the number to the waiter who led her over.
“Sister Tiantian!” Chen Yiran saw Zhen Tian come over and waved at her, “Sister Tiantian, you look so beautiful today!”
"You are also very handsome today!" Zhen Tian naturally complimented him.
Chen Yiran patted the chair next to him and smiled at her, "Sister Tiantian should call me Shanshan."
Zhen Tian remembered Chen Zui mentioned to her before that Shanshan was his mother’s nickname for him. Her heart moved slightly, “Okay, Shanshan.”
Zhen Tian touched his head and looked at Chen Zui across from her, "Senior, have you ordered?"
“No, we were waiting for you.” Chen Zui handed the menu and pen over to her and smiled, “You look pretty today.”
Zhen Tian couldn’t react naturally when faced with Chen Zui’s compliment. Chen Yi ran glanced at Chen Zui and said to Zhen Tian, “Uncle wants you to praise him for being handsome.”
Zhen Tian laughed, “Senior looks handsome every day.”
Chen Yiran, “....”
Okay, he is too meddlesome.
After Zhen Tian finished ordering, she and Chen Yiran went to make their dipping sauce while Chen Zui went alone when they came back. When he came back with his seasoning bowl, he also brought a bowl of ice jelly for Zhen Tian. “The ice jelly here is really delicious. You might not be able to get it later when more people come.”
“Thank you, senior!”
Chen Yiran asked, “Why did you only bring back one, what about mine?”
“I was only able to get one.”
Hehe, now that he has a love interest, he doesn’t care about others. Chen Yiran jumped off the chair by himself and sweetly asked Zhen Tian, What else does Sister Tiantian want to eat? I can get it for you.”
"Ah, get some more fruit. Can you go alone? How about I go with you."
"No need, just sit here!" Chen Yiran finished speaking and ran to the self-service area.
Zhrn Tian and Chen Zui were left alone. Zhen Tian smiled at Chen Zui across from her and tied up her hair so she could eat later.
The dress she wore today was collarless, so her entire neck was exposed after her hair was tied up.
Her skin was fair and the lines on her neck were smooth and graceful; Chen Zui’s sight was instantly drawn to it.
He had seen his fan art online. The artist drew him like this, showing his neck. There was an obvious hickey on the side of his neck. This was praised by many netizens.
Chen Zui felt that if this hickey was on Zhen Tian's neck, it would be even more beautiful.
"Senior, what's the matter?" Zhen Tian saw that Chen Zui had been staring at her and touched her neck subconsciously, "Is there something on my neck?"
“No…” Chen Zui looked away embarrassedly and picked up his teacup.
Zhen Tian saw him finish the tea and asked, “Are you thirsty? Should we order some drinks?”
“....Ok.”
Considering that the kid likes Coke, she ordered a big bottle of it. Chen Zui drank a cup of it. Although it relieved the dryness in his throat, he couldn’t suppress the fire in his heart.
“Sister Tiantian, I’m back. I got a lot of watermelon!” Chen Yiran cautiously walked over with a bowl of ice jelly and a large plate of fruits. Zhen Tian quickly got up and helped him carry the plates over to the table.
"Wow, Sister Tiantian, did you order Coke? You know me well!" Chen Yiran relied on Zhen Tian’s presence to happily pour himself a large glass of Coke.
As expected, Chen Zui only glanced at him and didn't say anything.
The soup in the pot slowly starts to boil. Chen Yiran ate a snack and asked Zhen Tian and Chen Zui, "Where shall we go to play after eating? Shall we go to the movies?"
Chen Zui naturally wanted to go to the movies with Zhen Tian, but he was afraid of delaying her work, "Zhen Tian has to open her store in the afternoon."
"Oh..." Chen Yiran responded dejectedly.
Zhen Tian thought for a while and said to them, "It's okay, we can go out in the afternoon. I will just let Ah Zhong and the others take charge of the opening."
"Really?" Chen Yiran looked at her with his eyes glowing.
Zhen Tian smiled, “En, it’s rare to get a chance to hang out. I can go to the bar later.”
“Then shall we go to the amusement park?” Compared to watching movies, the amusement park is more attractive to Chen Yiran.
“I’m fine with that. How about senior?”
“I’m fine with that too.”
“Then it’s decided!” Chen Yiran concluded.
After the soup finished boiling, Zhen Tian started to put the duck intestine inside the pot to cook. But because her chopstick work isn’t that good, after some time, she would drop the intestine into the pot and couldn’t find it. Chen Zui saw this and helped her cook the intestines and belly. After they are all cooked, he puts them in her bowl.
Zhen Tian was happy that she could eat without doing anything, “Thank you senior!”
Last time, she had barbeque with him, it seemed to be like this as well. It really is nice to eat with senior.
Chen Yiran eagerly looked at Chen Zui, “Uncle, I want to eat duck intestines too.”
“There’s so much on the plate, you can do it yourself.”
“....” Shameless.
“Do you want me to cook it for you?” Zhen Tian asked.
“No, I can do it myself.” Chen Yiran picked up a duck intestine and cooked it in the pot.
After eating hotpot, Zhen Tian walked to the restaurant entrance and sprayed herself with a fragrance mist. Chen Zui came out after paying the bill and saw her lowering her head, sniffing her shirt. He walked up to her and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Trying to smell if there is any hotpot scent.”
"Why don't I help you?" Chen Zui said, leaning close to her and lightly sniffing.
Zhen Tian’s face turned red all of a sudden. He is so close. Can he hear her own heartbeat?
“I don’t think there’s any lingering scent. Let’s go!” Zhen Tian quickly turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
Chen Zui couldn’t help but smile at her fleeing appearance.
“Uncle, you’re really shameless.” Chen Yiran witnessed all of Chen Zui’s actions just now.
Chen Zui didn’t care and led him out of the restaurant.
Because he and Zhen Tian drove separately, the three stood in front of the cars and discussed how they were going to the amusement park.
"Why don't we drive two cars? I have to go to the store at night, so I can't trouble you to send me off."
Chen Yiran immediately walked to her and grabbed her hand, “Then I will ride with Sister Tiantian. Uncle can go by yourself.”
Zhen Tian didn’t mind but she was afraid Chen Zui would be worried with him in her car, “What do you say?”
"Let’s leave it at that." Chen Zui said, "I will lead the way, and you can follow me behind."
“Okay.”
After the seating arrangement, Chen Yiran excitedly got into her car. Zhen Tian’s car is decorated with girly. Even the air freshener hanging in the car is shaped like little wings.
It is completely different from Chen Zui’s style.
"Sister Tiantian's car is much cuter than uncle's car." Chen Yiran touched the little wings hung in the car, buckled the seat belt, and waited for Zhen Tian to start the car.
After Chen Zui's car drove out, Zhen Tian also started the car and followed him. After driving the car for a while, Chen Yiran asked Zhen Tian, "Sister Tiantian, is it difficult for someone like my uncle who has a kid to find a wife?”
