He drove Zhen Tian’s car and stopped outside of her community. Holding the unfinished snack, Zhen Tian opened the car door, “Then I will drive back from here.”
“Wait.”
“Hm?” Zhen Tian paused and turned back to him. Chen Zui unfastened his seatbelt and leaned over. With one hand behind her headrest, he kissed her on the lips, “See you tomorrow.”
Zhen Tian tightly gripped the bag in her hand, her eyes moving slightly, “Shanshan is coming back tomorrow. Don’t you have to pick him up?”
Chen Zui slightly frowned, “Then the day after tomorrow.”
Zhen Tian couldn’t help but smile, “Oh. Do you want to come in for a bit?”
Chen Zui pondered for a bit, “Next time.”
“Ok. How are you going to get back?”
“Taxi.” Chen Zui opened the car door and gave the driver seat to Zhen Tian. After she sat down, she popped her head out the window and waved, “I’m going in. Be careful on the way back.”
“En.” Chen Zui smiled and waved back.
After he saw her car disappear from his view, Chen Zui took out his phone and called a taxi.
Zhen Tian drive to her house entrance and saw Lao Zhen and Zhen Xi’s cars parked in the garage. Looks like they are already home. Zhen Tian parked her car and took out her suitcase.
The Zhen family was sitting around the dining table eating dinner. When they heard her come in, they all looked in her direction. Zhen Tian normalized her expression and smiled at them, “Mom, Dad, I’m home.”
Zhen Xi glanced at the stuff she was carrying and asked, “Did you bring back any souvenirs from the hot springs?”
“...No, you didn’t ask for anything.”
Lao Zhen asked, “Tiantian, why didn’t you post anything from your trip on Moments?”
“..Ahaha, I had so much fun I forgot to take pictures.” Zhen Tian laughed.
Zhen Xi frowned, “Did you really go to the hot springs?”
“Of course I did!” Zhen Tian firmly nodded “Mom knows!”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen inwardly snorted but didn’t expose her, “En. Go up and put away your suitcase. Did you eat yet?”
“Yes. I will go up first.” Zhen Tian quickly dragged her suitcase upstairs.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen followed behind her upstairs. When Zhen Tian opened her door, she saw her come in and cautiously asked, “What are you doing?”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen smiled and closed the door, “I’m helping you unpack.”
Zhen Tian, “...”
She doesn’t believe it.
She put the suitcase to the side and cautiously stared at Ms. Wang Shuzhen, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Heh.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen sneered and lowered her voice, “Did you and Chen Zui really didn’t do anything?”
Zhen Tian’s lips twitched, “You just want to ask this?”
“Don’t answer my question with another question.”
“...” After a moment of silence, Zhen Tian replied, “No.”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen frowned and asked suspiciously, “Why? Is Chen Zui’er not interested in you?”
“....” She feels that he is interested, “No way.”
“Then are you not interested?” Ms. Wang Shuzhen doesn’t believe it, “You don’t look like you are not interested.”
“....” Zhen Tian couldn’t bear it anymore, “We just have more self-control. Do you think everyone is unprincipled!”
“Oh, you have principles yet you stayed overnight at someone’s house.”
“What’s wrong with staying overnight? We didn’t do anything impure.”
“Oh.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen sneered. Zhen Tian could hear the ridicule in her voice, “I guess you are not that attractive to Chen Zui’er.”
“...” Certainly not!
“Mom, do you think that is what we do?”
“I feel that it is abnormal that you don’t do those things.”
"Okay, you can go out, I don't need your help here." Zhen Tian pushed Ms. Wang Shuzhen out of the room. I have never seen such a mother!
She pursed her lips and went to unpack her suitcase. However, she couldn’t help but recall what her mother said just now.
Could it be that he held back because she wasn’t attractive enough?
…Ms. Wang Shuzhen is really annoying.
After she finished putting things away, Zhen Tian took a shower. Then she lay in bed and sent a message to Chen Zui.
Zhen Tian: Is Xiao Zui’er home? ^_^
Chen Zui: Just got back. Getting ready to take a shower and go to bed.
Zhen Tian: I just showered!
Chen Zui: Then after I finish showering, we can sleep together
“...”
Chen Zui is definitely attracted to her, hmph!
Chen Zui: Why aren’t saying anything?
Zhen Tian: I fell asleep
Chen Zui couldn’t help but laugh and send a voice message, “Then who has been sending me messages just now?”
Zhen Tian excitedly played the voice message and replied, “Your voice is so nice, say a few more words [shy]”
Sure enough, Chen Zui sent another message. Before Zhen Tian could play it, Zhen Xi knocked on her door, “Zhen Tian, are you asleep?”
Zhen Tian hid her phone like a thief and shouted toward the door, “I’m sleeping. What’s the matter?”
Zhen Xi laughed from outside, “It’s rare that you are sleeping so early.”
Zhen Tian put on her slippers and went to open the door, “What is it?”
Zhen Xi looked at her room, “How is it going with Chen Zui?”
Zhen Tian immediately became alert once she heard Chen Zui’s name, “Very good, what’s wrong?”
Zhen Xi stared at her for a while and asked, “How so?”
“....I don’t need to tell you anything! You don’t talk to me about it when you get a girlfriend.”
“Who told you to be my younger sister?” Zhen Xi lazily leaned against the door frame, “Zhen Rui and the others know you have a boyfriend and want to meet him.”
“Ah?” Zhen Tian frowned, “What do you guys want to do?”
Zhen Xi smiled, “Your older brothers just want to meet your boyfriend. Why are you so nervous? We’re not going to eat him.”
Zhen Tian, “....” Uhuh.
“Talk to Chen Zui about it and let him set a time to meet. Your brothers will accommodate him.” Zhen Xi yawned and waved his hand, “I’m going back to my room.”
Zhen Tian angrily closed the door behind him, causing Zhen Xi to laugh.
Back on her bed, Zhen Tian took out her phone and listened to Chen Zui’s most recent message, “Are you going to sleep?”
Zhen Tian: Zhen Xi was looking to talk to me just now.
Chen Zui: What’s wrong?
Zhen Tian: Nothing. I’ll tell you about it the next time we meet. Why haven’t you taken a shower yet?
Chen Zui: What, can’t wait to sleep with me? ^_^
Zhen Tian:...
She thought it is a good idea for her brothers to meet him!
The next day, Chen Yiran who had been living independently for a week finally returned home. The school bus brought the students back to school where their parent’s car was already waiting by the school gate.
Chen Zui had also arrived early and had been waiting in the car—For his own safety, he put on a mask.
Although he wasn’t able to stand outside and wait like he did before, it didn’t have much impact as Chen Yiran recognize his car. After he got off the bus, he was able to find his uncle within the pile of cars.
When Chen Zui saw him coming, he got out of the car and helped with his luggage.
“Uncle, I’m back!” Chen Yiran opened his arms wide to give Chen Zui a hug but Chen Zui quickly avoided him.
“Did you shower?” He asked.
Chen Yiran, “....”
Fine. He hasn’t washed up.
“Get in.” Chen Zui had Chen Yiran sit in the car while he put his suitcase in the trunk.
Chen Yiran waited for him to get in and asked right away, “Uncle, this week, you and Sister Tiantian…. hehe.”
Chen Zui started the car and slowly drove out, “What is going on in your brain?”
Chen Yiran snorted, “Stop pretending, you don’t dare to say you brought Sister Tiantian home?”
“Even if she came we didn’t do anything.”
“What?” Chen Yiran widened her eyes in surprise, “Uncle, are you capable or not?”
Chen Zui narrowed his eyes at him, “Whether I am capable has nothing to do with you. You should take care whether you’re capable.”
“....Where am I not capable?”
“What did you gain from being away for a week?”
Chen Yiran revealed a bitter expression, “I gained a lot of homework.”
Chen Zui smiled, “That’s pretty good.”
“....” Devil!
Chen Zui didn’t cook today so he had to take Chen Yiran out for a good meal before going home. After living outside for an entire week, Chen Yiran was too tired to work on his homework and went to bed early.
The weekend passed by very quickly. Chen Zui had been busy preparing for the new program recording and couldn’t find time to meet Zhen Tian. Chen Yiran only started working on his homework on the last day of the weekend.
Chen Yiran had always been good at studying but he also has subjects he is not good at, such as composition. At the end of the outing, the teacher assigned a few essays to write. After he finished the last essay, Chne Yiran almost cried.
Holding his mobile phone, he posted a message on Weibo: Those who tearfully do their homework are capable of moving on.
Zhen Tian had followed Chen Yiran after the whole “illegitimate child” incident. When she came upon his post, she couldn’t help put smile and give it a like.
After she clicked like, she thought not to delay Chen Yiran from doing his homework and went to harass Chen Zui instead.
Zhen Tian: What’s wrong with Shanshan? Does he have a lot of homework to do?
Chen Zui hadn’t left the TV station at this time. After seeing Zhen Tian’s message on the screen, he still picked up the phone.
Chen Zui: It seems he has a lot of essays to write. He is really afraid of writing essays.
Zhen Tian: Haha, how miserable. Are you still busy with work?
Chen Zui: En, I want to see you.
Zhen Tian: Work hard first!
Chen Zui smiled and wrote: The first recording time has been set. It is the day after tomorrow at 1 pm. You and Auntie remember to come to the station on time.
Zhen Tian: Ah! So fast!
Chen Zui: En, we can meet then. I shouldn’t be so busy after that.
Zhen Tian: That’s great. I will tell my mom. She will definitely be jumping in joy, haha
Chen Zui: RIght, last time you said you have something to tell me. What is it?
Zhen Tian: Ah, let me tell you when we meet.
Zhen Tian doesn’t want to tell him right now, for fear that it would affect his performance on the new program…
Although Zhen Zui has been hosting the news, there is still a difference between talk shows and news reports. She is still a little worried for him.
Chen Zui: Ok.
Zhen Tian: Is there a dress code for audience members?
Chen Zui: As long as you look clean and decent it is fine. There are no requirements.
Zhen Tian: Ok, I will go tell Ms. Wang Shuzhen now, hehe
When The Last Journey was on the air, Ms. Wang Shuzhen was also following the drama, and would cry at every turn. This time, Chen Zui’s new program not only allowed her to meet Chen Zui but also the screenwriter of The Last Journey.
Although Chen Zui said that they only need to dress clean and decent, the exquisite Ms. Wang Shuzhen had always been strict with herself. So, the day before the recording, she went to buy new clothes with her sisters and even did her hair.
Aunt Liao knew that she was going to the TV station to watch a recording and was very envious. She could only hate her daughter for not finding a son-in-law who works in a TV station.
“When is your Tiantian and Chen Zui’er going to settle down?”
When she said settle down, she naturally meant marriage. Ms. Wang Shuzhen thought for a while and said, “It depends on what the young people are planning. They haven’t been dating for long and we are not in a rush. Next time, when we meet Chen Zui’er’s parents, we will discuss this with them.”
“I see that your family’s Lao Zhen really treasures Tiantian. I’m afraid he won’t want her to marry.”
“That’s up to him.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen picked out another dress and asked Aunt Liao, “Which one is better, this one or the one I just bought?”
“They’re both pretty! Remember to take more photos for me to see.”
“Of course.”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen also bought this dress and left the mall with a good harvest.
Chen Zui’s new program Noble Specialty starts recording at 1 pm and requested the audience members to arrive at the station at least half an hour earlier.
Because it is relatively early, Ms. Wang Shuzhen didn’t make lunch. Instead, she and Zhen Tian ate somewhere relatively close to the station and headed there right after.
The program is being recorded at studio 6 which isn’t relatively big and can hold 120 people. After confirming their credentials at the entrance, they followed the staff to the waiting area.
“Please wait in line here. Staff will come to guide you when it is time to enter.”
“Thank you.”
Zhen Tian thanked the young lady who guided them. MMs. Wang Shuzhen looked at her retreating back and sighed, “As expected of a TV station, the staff are all beautiful.”
There was a commotion on the other side. Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked over curiously, “What’s going on over there?”
Zhen Tian shook her head, “I don’t know. It might be some celebrity who’s here for a recording. You regularly see celebrities here.”
“Oh!” Ms. Wang Shuzhen excitedly cupped her face, just like little fangirls, “What celebrities? Feng Jing? Li Shen? Even Mo Zhen?”
Zhen Tian, “....”
Her mom is more familiar with popular male celebrities than she is.
While they were waiting, many audience members arrived, mostly young girls. They were as excited as Ms. Wang Shuzhen and Chen Zui’s name came up from time to time.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen whispered to Zhen Tian, Chen Zui’er is well-liked by everyone.”
Zhen Tian snorted, “But he likes me.”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen, “....”
No shame at all.
“Attention, everyone. Please enter in a timely manner. Don’t crowd together.” Two staff members came out from the studio and announced to the audience waiting.
The group suddenly became noisy but still maintained order as they slowly moved inside.
Zhen Tian sent a message to Chen Zui that they were entering the studio. Chen Zui didn’t reply back but she wasn’t bothered. He must be busy preparing at this time.
“Wow, so this is the studio of a TV station.” Once Ms. Wang Shuzhen came in, she looked around and spotted Chen Zui on the stage, “Tiantian, look at Chen Zui’er!”
Zhen Tian looked in the direction she was gesturing to and saw Chen Zui, who was wearing a neat suit, standing in the corner talking to a long-haired beauty.
