Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 25


When Chen Zui saw Zhen Tian calling again, he felt a little strange. He put on the Bluetooth headset and connected to the phone, "What's the matter?"

"Senior!" Zhen Tian's voice sounded very anxious as if she had encountered a tricky event, "My dad and my brother did not go to work today!"

"Huh?" Chen Zui didn't understand what she meant.

“So they will have lunch at home today!”

Chen Zui was quiet for a while, then slowly responded with "en."

"Why don't you come back another day. I'm afraid they will scare you."

Chen Zui let out a low laugh, "There’s no need."

Because of Zhen Tian’s call, the phone's navigation system was interrupted, but he remembered that he should turn left at the next intersection. He turned the steering wheel to the left and asked, "Your father and brother were originally supposed to be away at noon today?"

“Yeah, today is Monday so they should be at work. Ms. Wang Shuzhen must have told them.” Zhen Tian explained, “Ms. Wang Shuzhen is my mom.”

Chen Zui couldn't help laughing, "In this case, even if I go another time, your mother will still tell them again."

“....” True.

"Since your family is waiting for me, it is not good to reschedule. By the way, what do they like to eat, I will stop by and buy something."

“It’s okay senior, you don’t need to spend money.” Zhen Tian hurriedly stopped him, “My mom will already go crazy when you arrive.” What idol will give their fans gifts when meeting them?

“This isn’t very appropriate.”

"My family doesn't have that many rules." Zhen Tian has calmed down a bit. Since both Lao Zhen and Zhen Xi want to see Ms. Wang Shuzhen's idol, then let them see, "I’m going to hang up now. Drive safe."

"Okay." Chen Zui answered with a smile and then took off the Bluetooth headset.

When Zhen Tian came down the stairs again, the three people in the living room looked at her in unison. Ms. Wang Shuzhen guessed that she must have gone back to her room to call her friend, "Where is your friend?"

"They should be here in a while. I'll go out and wait for them." She walked to the front door and put on her shoes. Pudding followed behind her, seeming to want her to go out with her.

"Does Pudding want to go out, too?" Zhen Tian bent over to hug Pudding. Pudding barked in her arms as Zhen Tian rubbed its head, "Then let's go out together."

She put Pudding in a lease and carried him out. As soon as she left, the three people inside once again gathered together for a small discussion.

“I was afraid that they would be scared away by you two. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.” Last night, Ms. Wang Shuzhen told Lao Zhen that Zhen Tian will bring a friend home for a meal. So, he dragged Zhen Xi along to wait at home for them. Seeing Zhen Tian’s appearance just now, she was angry that Lao Zhen was going to mess up this meal. Luckily, the other party still came.

Zhen Xi snorted and disdainfully said, “If my dad and I can scare him away, then there is no point in keeping him here.”

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhen brought forward a different opinion, “What if the friend Zhen Tian is bringing home is a woman?”

Zhen Zi and Ms. Wang Shuzhen gave him a blank stare. If he really thinks that the friend is a woman, why is he here at home?

Zhen Tian waited for almost half an hour at the entrance before she saw Chen Zui’s car slowly approach. She subconsciously took two steps forward and waved at him, “Senior!”

Chen Zui slowly pulled to a stop and lowered the window, “Have you been waiting here the entire time?”

“En.” Zhen Tian was still holding Pudding in her arms. When Pudding saw Chen Zui, he curiously barked at him. Zhen Tian gave Chen Zui an introduction, “This is Ah Jin’s son. My mom named him Pudding. Isn’t he cute?”

Chen Zui looked down at the little puppy and nodded, “En, cute.”

With that, he unlocked the car, “Get in.”

“Ok. You don’t mind Pudding right?”

“No.”

Zhen Tian opened the door on the passenger side and put Pudding in. Because Zhen Tian was with him, the security guard at the entrance directly let Chen Zui drive into the community.

Chen Zui drove slowly through the community and took advantage of the situation to look at the place where Zhen Tian grew up, “Your living environment here is really nice.”

Zhen Tian laughed and modestly responded, “My dad bought the house here.”

Chen Zui looked at her and quirked his lips, “You opened your own bar, that’s not bad.”

“No, no, no. It is still you who is great. It’s hard to get into ABA.”

Chen Zui slightly nodded, “ABA has strict requirements but it’s not as brilliant as the world makes it out to be.”

“You are my mother’s idol.” Zhen Tian said, “There have only been two men in the world who have conquered my mother. One is my father and the other is you.”

Chen Zui couldn’t help but laugh at this statement, “I feel a bit flustered when you say that.”

"Hahahaha." When Pudding heard Zhen Tian’s laughter, he followed up with the soft sound of barking.

The two continued to speak a few words in the car as Chen Zui arrived in front of Zhen Tian’s house. After getting out of the car, Zhen Tian put down Pudding and let him rush to the door and scratch on it. She waited until Chen Zui got out of the car and walked ahead with him.

Pudding was still sitting by the door waiting for them. Zhen Tian took out a pair of slippers for Chen Zui to change into before opening the door to go in.

Before entering, Chen Zui asked again, “Is it really okay not to bring a gift?”

Zhen Tian smiled, “There is really no need. You are the best gift!”

Although he knows she is talking about how her mother likes him, Chen Zui's thoughts turn to something else. He smiled and followed her in.

The three people in the living room had long heard the sound of Pudding scratching at the door. Although they were all dying of curiosity, they still pretended to sit patiently in the living room and wait for them to come in themselves.

"Mom, my friend is here." Zhen Tian led Chen Zui to the living room and greeted the people inside.

The three turned their heads in unison. When they saw the man following Zhen Tian, their eyes widened at the same time.

"Hi, Uncle and Auntie, I'm Chen Zui, pardon my intrusion." Chen Zui's voice sounded in the living room. The melodious voice of the broadcaster really made people intoxicated.

Not only are the eyes of the three members of the Zhen family wide, but so are their mouths.

As we all know, the TV remote of the Zhen family is in the hands of Ms. Wang Shuzhen. Even though Lao Zhen and Zhen Xi are not fans of Chen Zui, every, single, morning, they would all sit in the dining room and watch the ABA morning news with Ms. Wang Shuzhen.

Today, right now, at this moment, the anchor on that TV suddenly stood in front of them!

Even if he is not their idol, suddenly seeing someone who is usually only seen on TV appearing in front of them in real life has caused a great shock to Lao Zhen and Zhen Xi.

That definitely includes Ms. Wang Shuzhen. She stared blankly at Chen Zui for a few seconds and stood up abruptly with a “swoosh.” She looked at him in disbelief, “My gosh, is this really Chen Zui’er! Lao Zhen, quickly bite me!”

"..." Lao Zhen didn't dare, so he silently raised his arm, "You should bite me."

Ms. Wang Shuzhen took a bite, and Lao Zhen let out an earth-shattering cry of pain.

Zhen Tian: “....”

She doesn’t know this unhinged couple. :)

Zhen Tian was filled with embarrassment, but Chen Zui still stood beside her calmly with a proper smile on his face.

After confirming that the man in front of her was really ABA anchor Chen Zui, Ms. Wang Shuzhen immediately cleaned up her appearance. Then she looked at Zhen Tian, "Tiantian, the friend you mentioned is Chen Zui'er?"

Zhen Tian couldn't get used to her tone, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Yes, Chen Zui'er is my senior in high school. Because of the interview last time, we started getting in contact."

“Oh.” The smile on Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s face has become sharp. Zhen Tian believed that if she didn’t want to maintain her image in front of Chen Zui, her mother would’ve already come and cleaned herself up, “In that case, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Zhen Tian smiled, “I want to surprise you.”

“Hehe.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen covered her mouth and laughed. She looked over at her idol, “Chen Zui’er, quickly come and sit here. Our whole family enjoys watching your show.”

Chen Zui cordially smiled at her and walked to the designated seat next to her, ‘Thank you, auntie.”

“No need to be polite.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen sat next to him and looked at him with a smile. "It's so surprising that it's really Chen Zui'er. Can Auntie touch you?"

Zhen Tian, “....”

Ms. Wang Shuzhen, don’t be disrespectful!

"Yes." Chen Zui nodded politely.

Ms. Wang Shuzhen's eyes obviously flashed with surprise. She raised a finger and lightly poked Chen Zui's face.

“Old Zhen, he’s real!” Ms. Wang Shuzhen was obviously a little excited after poking him and she couldn't speak very clearly. Lao Zhen also leaned over curiously and looked at Chen Zui, "Really? Can I touch you too?"

Zhen Tian, “....”

She counted on Lao Zhen to stop her mother but there was no need anymore!

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing!" Zhen Tian had no choice but to walk over herself, preventing Chen Zui from being touched, "This is too embarrassing."

She lowered her voice and said to the two elders.

Lao Zhen and his wife finally regained their composure and found the appearance that elders should have.

Ms. Wang Shuzhen coughed and said, "Well, since we are all here, let's have lunch first, and chat while eating."

Loa Zhen quickly agreed, “Yes, we can continue chatting while eating.”

“Ok.” Chen Zui stood up and followed them to the dining room.

Chen Zui's seat was arranged next to Zhen Tian, ​​opposite them were Zhen Tian's parents and elder brother. He usually wears suits to and from work, and today is no exception. Lao Zhen looked at his suit, then at his casual clothes. He asked Ms. Wang Shuzhen in a low voice, "Should I change into a suit? Am I dressing too casually?"

Ms. Wang Shuzhen also lowered her voice, “What are you going to change now? Why didn’t you do it earlier?”

Lao Zhen pursed his lips, “Aren’t you also not dressed up?”

One sentence awakens the dreamer.

Gosh, she didn't even dress up!

"Well, you eat first. Lao Zhen and I will go up and change."

Ms. Wang Shuzhen stood up as she said this and looked to Zhen Tian for help. Fortunately, Chen Zui spoke up and stopped them, “No need to trouble yourself, auntie, you are beautiful like this.”

Ms. Wang Shuzhen froze for a moment. Then she sat back down with her face in her arms.

Lao Zhen, “....”
