Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 23


Chen Yiran’s voice is childish but his words were very mature.

Zhen Tian didn’t expect that he would ask this question. After a moment of surprise, she laughed, “Shanshan, who told you this?”

Chen Yiran frowned and looked very distressed, “Actually, my grandmother had arranged blind dates for my uncle several times before, but when the older sisters knew that my uncle was taking care of me, they didn’t want him.”

“Uhhh.” This is the first time Zhen Tian heard about Chen Zui’s blind dates. He is about the same age as Zhen Xi and since her family is also busy arranging blind dates for Zhen Xi, Chen Zui’s family must be anxious as well. “Shanshan, are you sure it is those sisters that don’t want your uncle? Maybe your uncle doesn’t want them?”

Chen Yiran’s eyes held a look of surprise as if he had never considered this, “Really? But those sisters are not as good-looking as Sister Tiantian. It may really be that his uncle didn't want them."

Although Zhen Tian knows that his words don’t hold any meaning, she still blushed, “Your uncle’s condition is very good. He won’t have any problems finding a wife, so you don’t have to worry about such things.”

“Oh.” Chen Yiran nodded and obediently asked, “Can Sister Tiantian be uncle’s wife?”

Zhen Tian, “....”

She held the steering wheel and coughed, “Shanshan, I’m driving. Stop chatting with me.”

"Oh." Chen Yiran answered. A few seconds later, he looked up at Zhen Tian again, "If Sister Tiantian and Uncle are together, I can go to live at school. I will come back every winter and summer vacation to ensure that it will not affect you guys. The room I live in now can also be reserved for your children in the future."

Zhen Tian was taken aback. She turned her head and looked at him deeply. Chen Zui told her about Chen Yiran’s past. She knew that he was very insecure because his parents were no longer here and he matured earlier than other children. But she never thought he would say such a thing. It is very distressing.

She calmed her emotions and slowly said, “Shanshan, your uncle loves you very much. He never thinks you are a burden so don’t think of yourself as a burden. You are so smart and cute, no matter who your uncle is with you in the future, she will definitely like you."

Chen Yiran’s eyes moved. He finally turned his head and looked out the window.

Zhen Tian’s mood was not very calm along the way because of Chen Yiran’s words. Fortunately, she followed Chen Zui's car all the way without thinking too much. The road conditions today are pretty good and there was no traffic jam. They arrived at the amusement park within an hour.

Chen Zui is usually busy at work, and there is no chance to bring Chen Yiran to the amusement park. Chen Yiran didn’t say anything about it but he really wants to come.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the amusement park, he ran off eagerly. Chen Zui waited for Zhen Tian to get out of the car and walked up to her, "Are you tired after driving Chen Yiran on the way"

Zhen Tian smiled, “No, he was very obedient.”

Thinking of what Chen Yiran said to her in the car, she wanted to find a good chance to talk to Chen Zui. Chen Yiran ran ahead and shouted at both of them, "Uncle, Sister Tiantian, what are you two doing? Come on, I want to ride a roller coaster!”

“What roller coaster? You are too short, they won’t let you ride it.” Chen Zui lightly jabs.

Chen Yiran's dream is to ride a roller coaster in an amusement park. He feels that if you come to the amusement park without taking a roller coaster, then you have never been to the amusement park! However, some attractions in the amusement park have physical limitations. For example, if he is less than 1.4 meters, he cannot be a roller coaster.

Chen Yiran looked at him reluctantly, "It's been a long time since last time, I have grown taller!"

“The last time I measured you, you were 1.3 meters.”

“I, I can stand on my tiptoes!”

After the three of them bought tickets to enter the amusement park, Chen Yiran was the first to rush to the roller coaster line. Most of the people in line are in their prime, while he is the only child among them. Chen Zui knew that he wouldn’t give up until all hope was gone, so he could only line up with Zhen Tian.

When it was Chen Yiran’s turn, the staff smiled and stopped him, "Kid, let me measure your height.”

Chen Yiran clenched his fist. He followed the worker to measure his height and quietly stood on his toes.

"You can't stand on tiptoe." The staff member pressed his hands gently on his shoulders, and Chen Yiran was a little shorter. "You haven't reached 1.4 meters. You can’t ride this. You can ride something else."

Chen Yiran looked at Chen Zui and Zhen Tian behind him, with grievances and unwillingness in his eyes. Chen Zui was silent for a while and said to him, "Why don't you watch us ride it?"

Chen Yiran, “....”

"Shanshan, let's go play something else, do you like the bumper cars?" In the end, Zhen Tian felt sorry for the child and led Chen Yiran out.

Chen Zui also walked out behind them. Chen Yiran glanced at him and nodded to Zhen Tian, "Let's go in the bumper car. Sister Tiantian and I drive one, and uncle drives his own. We crash him into the air."

Zhen Tian couldn't help laughing, and said to Chen Yiran, "Okay, we will make him fly into the air."

Chen Zui raised his eyebrows without saying anything and followed them to the bumper cars.

When it was their turn, Chen Yiran grabbed her hands and ran inside, “Sister Tiantian, let’s take that red car!”

Chen Yiran dragged Zhen Tian over and climbed into the car. Zhen Tian sat in the driver's seat and pulled down the protective railing to cover the two of them. Chen Zui chose a blue car next to them and got in too.

The cars in the venue were quickly filled. The sound rang twice, and everyone moved. Chen Yiran pointed in Chen Zui's direction and shouted to Zhen Tian, "Uncle is over there, hit him!"

Zhen Tian started the car and turned the steering wheel in the direction of Chen Zui. Before they could drive over, a yellow car came, and hit the center of their car with a "bump". Zhen Tian's car was knocked out so far, that they hit the car behind them. The yellow car didn't let them go, and it drove over and ran into the front of their car.

The red car was blocked from both ends. The young man and woman in the yellow car laughed happily. Suddenly a blue car slammed into their car and their laughs turned into sharp screams.

"Uncle, good job!" Chen Yiran had forgotten about wanting to hit him just now. He took Zhen Tian by the arm and said, "Let's hit that yellow car!"

"Okay!" Zhen Tian stomped the car to death while turning the steering wheel. Before the man and woman had adjusted their car, she slammed into it.

With a bang, Chen Yiran’s teeth almost knock on the car. The couple seemed to be stunned by the violent impact and didn’t think to adjust their car. Zhen Tian slid away quickly after the impact. Chen Yiran looked at the yellow car still parked in the corner and laughed hahaha.

The ride ended quickly with the sound of "bang bang bang." Zhen Tian pulled Chen Yiran down, her head feeling a little shaken.

"The bumper cars are really fun!" Chen Yiran led Zhen Tian's hand and began to arrange the next ride, "Next, let's ride the small plane!"

The small plane he was talking about is similar to a children's roller coaster. A child can sit on a plane and then run a circle along the track.

The ride goes up and down but it is slow, suitable for children to ride.

This ride is basically for children so Zhen Tian and Chen Zui did not ride it. Chen Yiran chose a super cool-looking airplane and waved to Chen Zui and Zhen Tian after he got in. Zhen Tian also raised her hand and waved at him. She waited for his small plane to slowly drive away, then looked over at Chen Zui, "Senior, I want to talk to you about Chen Yiran."

Chen Zui looked down at her with puzzlement, "What about him? Did he tell you something?"

"Yeah." Zhen Tian nodded, "On the way here, he told me about your blind date..."

Before she could finish, Chen Zui anxiously interrupted her, “It was arranged by my family. I already talked to my mother. She won’t arrange any more blind dates for me.”

“Oh…” Zhen Tian nodded in a daze, “But Chen Yiran seems to misunderstand that because of him, all your blind dates failed. He also told me that if you are with someone in the future, he will move to school and his room will be for your little ones.”

Chen Zui was stunned after hearing what she had said. He pursed his lips, deep in thought.

Zhen Tian said, "I think he may have been a little uneasy all this time. You should find some time to chat with him.”

"Yeah." Chen Zui responded indifferently and then fell into silence. As Chen Yiran’s small plane slowly descended, he spoke again, "If it were you, would you mind living with Chen Yiran?"

"Me?" Zhen Tian did not expect that he would suddenly ask this, "Of course I won't. Throwing him in at such a young age and coming back twice a year, it's too pitiful."

Chen Zui looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips, "That's enough."

Zhen Tian’s heart started beating. That’s enough? What’s enough? She lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Is it what she is thinking?

"I'm back!" Chen Yiran got off the small plane and ran in front of Zhen Tian and Chen Zui, "What do you want to play next?"

Chen Zui retracted the gaze from Zhen Tian, raised his hand, and patted his head gently, "Are you not tired of playing?"

“No!”

“Are you thirsty?”

“Uh, a little.”

Chen Zui chuckled, “I’ll buy you a drink. What do you guys want?”

Chen Yiran raised his hand, “Coke!”

“You already drank it in the afternoon. Pick something else.”

Chen Yiran curled his lips, “How about ice cream?”

Chen Zui looked at Zhen Tian, “What do you want?”

Zhen Tian saw Chen Yiran stare at her and laughed, “I want to eat ice cream.”

Chen Zui helplessly shook his head, “Then Chen Yiran and I will go buy ice cream. You can find a place to sit and rest for a while."

“Okay.”

Zhen Tian sat on a bench on the side of the road to take a rest. Chen Zui led Chen Yiran to a vendor selling ice cream and ordered three ice cream cones.

After paying, he took his and Zhen Tian’s and walked alongside Chen Yiran, “What did you say to Zhen Tian in the car?”

Chen Yiran didn't expect Sister Zhen Tian to inform her uncle. He licked the cone in his hand, pretending to be calm, "I didn't say anything."

Chen Zui looked down at him and sighed, “Are you stupid? If I get married, I will buy a bigger house. You don’t need to give up your room.”

Chen Yiran was taken aback and looked at Chen Zui incredulously, “Uncle, do you have enough money to buy a big house?”

Chen Zui raised a brow, “Do I look poor?”

"Uh..." Chen Yiran knew that Chen Zui's salary was not low, but he also knew that the housing price was not low, "Then are you going to sell the current house?"

“En.”

“Will there be a room for me in that big house?”

“En.”

Chen Yiran tightly pursed his lips and trembled, “Is Sister Tiantian willing to live with me?”

“En.”

“You asked her already?”

“En.”

Although Chen Zui seemed to be replying without much thought, Chen Yiran’s eyes still reddened, “Uncle, I want to kiss you right now.”

“No need.”
