Chapter 13 Entering the House
"Alas, that can't be called gourmet food. Even Dabai dislikes the dishes that dad cooks."

"My great-grandmother said that if you can still be full of energy the next day after eating the food my father cooked, you are not an ordinary person." Chu Yan hung his face, looking dejected.

"Who is Dabai?" Meng Qingyi was puzzled.

"Dabai is my dog, he's very cute." When talking about the dog, a smile finally appeared on Chu Yan's face.

But the thought of going back to eat the noodles cooked by his father felt like torture, and his mood became depressed again.

"is it so serious?"

Chu Yan nodded sincerely and continued to look sad.

Meng Qingyi was touched by his look and pursed her lips, "How about this, you ask your father to stop cooking, and you guys come to my place to eat."

"It just so happens that I have a friend coming over tonight, you can come along."

"Really?" The little guy jumped off the sofa and cheered.

Meng Qingyi nodded, curled her lips and smiled, "Go quickly!"

"Okay, thank you sister." The little guy kissed Meng Qingyi on the face and ran out quickly with happy little steps.

Meng Qingyi looked at his excited back with a smile on her face.

On the other side, Chu Jingyan looked at the boiling water in the pot on the stove with confidence, then lowered his eyes. Why hasn’t that kid come back yet?

The door opened and the little guy ran out of breath, shouting loudly, "Dad!"

"Stop it, my sister invited us to her house for dinner." The little guy was panting, his face flushed.

Chu Jingyan raised his eyebrows, smiling, "Really?"

"What did you say?"

Chu Yan lowered his head, glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and said guiltily: "I didn't say anything. Anyway, my sister invited us to her house for dinner."

When Chu Jingyan saw him lower his head, he knew that he must have said something in front of Meng Qingyi, otherwise, based on Meng Qingyi's personality, she would not rashly invite someone she just met to her house.

But it was just what he wanted, his Adam's apple rolled slightly. What did he need to prepare for his first visit?

Chu Jingyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the suit on his body. He almost always wore a suit on weekdays, but it was already time to get off work. He wondered if it would be a bit inappropriate to wear a suit again, and pulled his lips.

"Dad, let's go." Chu Yan couldn't wait any longer, seeing his complicated expression.

Why was his old father laughing so creepily? His little body shuddered.

"Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."

Chu Jingyan strode towards the bedroom, looking left and right, but ten minutes passed and he still didn't come out.

Chu Yan frowned and stared at the phone watch on his wrist. Is his father going to the beauty pageant? Uncle He can still dawdle.

Just when Chu Yan wanted to ask, Chu Jingyan came out, changed into casual clothes, and said, "Let's go."

Chu Yan looked at his old father. Has his father been with Uncle He for too long? Why did his style suddenly change today?
He also looked down at his clothes and was wondering whether he should change into something more handsome when his father opened the door and glared at him with his arms folded across his chest.

Chu Yan could only give up, secretly complaining in his heart that his father was just like always, allowing the officials to set fires but not the common people to light lamps.

……

The doorbell rang. Meng Qingyi was still busy in the kitchen. She ran over to open the door.

The moment she pushed open the door, her eyes widened and she saw Chu Jingyan wearing grey sweatpants and a blue baseball jacket. He was tall and slender, looking comfortable and simple, and as handsome as a college student who had just graduated.

"Doctor Meng, excuse me!" Chu Jingyan was also looking at her. As soon as she returned home, she changed into white home clothes. She looked gentle and pretty, with a faint smile on her lips, which was very touching.

"Mr. Chu, you're too polite." Meng Qingyi cleared her throat and stepped aside to let the father and son in. "Mr. Chu, Chu Chu, come in."

"Doctor Meng, do you need to change your shoes?" Chu Jingyan asked in a low voice while standing inside the door.

Hearing this, Meng Qingyi hurriedly squatted down, took out a pair of brand new men's slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them in front of him, "Mr. Chu, these are new, don't mind."

Chu Jingyan's smile froze on her face. How come there were men's slippers in her house? Theirs? Or her boyfriend's?
Meng Qingyi stood up and saw that he had no reaction. She called out softly, "Mr. Chu?"

Chu Jingyan suddenly realized, "It's okay. Sorry to bother Doctor Meng."

Chu Jingyan changed his shoes, and Chu Yan held Meng Qingyi's hand and walked in front, swaying from side to side.

Chu Jingyan followed the two of them and looked around. The elegant, quiet and tidy living room was decorated exquisitely and elegantly by her. The walls were covered with antique calligraphy and paintings, and bright flowers could be seen everywhere on the table, which showed the little girl's thoughts.

Meng Qingyi asked them to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and handed a box of milk to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan looked at the milk that Meng Qingyi handed over, and his little face wrinkled.

Growing up, Chu Yan was most afraid of drinking milk and eating more vegetables, but he didn't want to show that he was a picky eater in front of Meng Qingyi.

After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly stretched out his hand to take it.

It didn't show on his face, "Thank you, sister."

Chu Jingyan glanced at his little expression and almost laughed out loud. Usually, asking him to drink milk was like forcing him to drink poison. He smiled awkwardly. ?
"Mr. Chu, please sit down for a while."

"I'll go to the kitchen." Meng Qingyi, still wearing an apron, looked up at the clock. It was almost nine o'clock.

"Let me help you!" Chu Jingyan said in a deep voice.

"No, it will be done soon." Meng Qingyi refused. It was his first time visiting her, so how could she let him do it?

"We are the ones who disturbed Dr. Meng. If Dr. Meng still doesn't want my help, I will feel bad." Chu Jingyan said in a firm tone, not allowing any objection.

"Okay." Meng Qingyi nodded and looked at him.

She planned to have hotpot with Huo Rao tonight, mostly semi-finished products, and the remaining vegetables only needed to be washed.

"Chu Chu, stay in the living room and don't move around, okay?" Chu Jingyan warned.

Chu Yan sat on the sofa obediently, sipping milk. Meng Qingyi turned on the TV and tuned in a cartoon.

Chu Yan looked at Peppa Pig on TV, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly. His sister must have treated him as a three-year-old child. He stopped watching Peppa Pig when he was two years old.

In order not to let Meng Qingyi down, he took a big sip of the milk, swallowed it, and sighed, it’s so bitter!

Chu Jingyan followed Meng Qingyi to the kitchen. The kitchen was about 50 square meters, and there were many electrical appliances and seasonings on the table. It was obvious that Meng Qingyi often cooked, and the kitchen was full of the flavor of home.

"Can Mr. Chu eat spicy food?"

Meng Qingyi was thinking about the hotpot they were going to have tonight. She and Huo Rao both loved spicy food, so they only prepared one base for the hotpot.

Chu Jingyan shook his head. He had a light taste and had often missed meals in recent years. Unknowingly, he had developed stomach problems. The doctor suggested that he should eat light meals on a regular basis.

Meng Qingyi thought that Chu Yan couldn't eat anything too spicy, and there was stewed chicken soup in the refrigerator, which could be used to make clear soup, "Then I'll make a new pot base."

Chu Jingyan watched Meng Qingyi busying around and he couldn't get involved at all.
