The orange light shone through the thin white lampshade and evenly illuminated the entire private room. The high table in the corner smelled of sandalwood, creating a unique atmosphere.
The host family served plates of meticulously prepared dishes. Spicy shrimp skin, salad, tri-colored steamed eggs, golden hook cucumber strips, shredded chicken and silver sprouts … They were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they all looked, smelled, and tasted great.
Although Lu Chen wasn't a true foodie, he had a great appetite in front of delicious food. He was in high spirits and shared a pot of the host family's homemade rice wine with Tan Hong. He felt slightly tipsy and satisfied.
Chen Fei 'er had been on a diet recently. He clearly had a very standard body size, but he still wanted to lose a few more kilograms. He wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat too much. He looked very conflicted.
Tong Xinyao was a true foodie. She enthusiastically asked the teachers not to be polite and to eat until she was full. She also set an example, waving her chopsticks and eating heartily. Min Li couldn't stop her.
Sitting next to her was a little foodie. There were nine osmanthus brown sugar glutinous rice rolls on a plate, and the little girl ate four of them. After being scolded by Song Wanliu, she put on a "if you don't let me eat, I'll cry for you to see" attitude, which made people smile.
Tan Hong drank a few cups of rice wine but didn't eat much. He had retired to his home and paid great attention to his health. He wouldn't have drunk wine if Lu Chen hadn't invited him today.
What was interesting was that Tan Ling and Lu Xi had a good chat. Although it was the first time they had met, they felt like old friends. They drank a cup of wine, their faces flushed, and chatted intimately as if they were sisters.
This kind of atmosphere was undoubtedly excellent and could really relax people.
Lu Chen thought that this private restaurant was very good. In the future, he could have everyone come here often as a good pastime.
As he was thinking, Tan Jiawan, who had eaten and drunk to her heart's content, ran over. She pulled his arm and said, "Big Brother Lu Chen, can I ask you for help with something?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes, revealing a lovely and pitiful expression, making it hard for anyone to refuse.
Lu Chen, however, had a heart of stone. He took out his phone and said, "Then you have to give me a red envelope first. I don't want one or two, and I don't think one or two hundred is too much. Then we can talk about helping."
"Ah …"
Tan Jiawan's little face immediately collapsed. She threw herself into Chen Fei 'er's arms and cried, "Sister Fei' er, Big Brother Lu Chen is bullying me. Please help me!"
Song Wanliu glared at her daughter. "Stop messing around. Is your butt itching again?"
Chen Fei'er did not budge. "Big sister will help you …"
She glared at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen could only surrender. "Okay, okay. Tell me what you want first."
Tan Hong's daughter was very eccentric. Every time they met, she would ask for something, and she also liked to play pranks. She was spoiled by her father to the point of being out of control.
Well, there was another big sister who was even more spoiled!
The little girl immediately smiled and turned around to hug Lu Chen's arm. "My school arranged a solo performance for me at the New Year's Gala. I don't want to sing songs that have been sung by others, so I asked Dad to write me a song …"
Lu Chen nodded. "That's great. Is there a problem?"
"There's a big problem!"
The little girl frowned and complained. "Do you know what song he wrote for me?"
She directly sang, "The little white duck swims across the river, squawking and squawking …"
After only two lines, Tan Jiawan's bitter face turned into a look of disdain. "Big Brother Lu Chen, listen to this. How do you think my classmates will look at me if I sing such a childish song on stage?"
Lu Chen: "Uh …"
The little girl continued to complain. "Come on, I'm already a second-year student, not a kid in kindergarten. Dad actually wrote me such a song. It's so embarrassing!"
Lu Chen: "Uh …"
The people next to them all laughed. Only Tan Hong had a helpless and embarrassed expression.
The little girl sighed and continued to complain. "It's really my misfortune to have such a father. Until now, I haven't even submitted the name of my program, so …"
She shook Lu Chen's arm hard. "Big Brother Lu Chen, why don't you write a song for me? I'll send you a red packet of 50, no, 100 yuan. How about that?"
It could be seen that the little girl had made up her mind. She, who had never given back anything, actually threw out a red packet of 100 yuan.
Lu Chen was deeply moved. "Okay then."
The little girl was so happy that she jumped three feet high and kissed Lu Chen's face. "Big Brother Lu Chen is still the best!"
Lu Chen was completely bought. "I'll write it for you now."
"That's great …"
The little girl clapped her hands and said, "I brought the guitar and laptop here. They're in the car outside."
It turned out that she was prepared. Lu Chen was convinced. "Then bring them over."
The little girl immediately ran to Tan Hong and ignored his dark face. "Dad, give me the car key."
Tan Ling smiled and said, "Jiawan, aunt will accompany you to get it."
Of course, the little girl had no objection. "Thank you, aunt!"
After getting the car key from the helpless Tan Hong, Tan Ling led the little girl to get the guitar and laptop.
Tan Hong smiled bitterly at Lu Chen. "My family is unfortunate …"
He had this daughter at the age of 40, so he spoiled her very much. Now he was reaping what he had sown.
"Just write a few sentences for her to fool her."
Lu Chen smiled. "It's not easy to fool primary school students these days. Jiawan is too smart."
When he was in primary school, he fooled around with his classmates all day and teased female classmates. He was ignorant and didn't know anything. Now, the millennials were born in the era of the surging tide of information. They began to be exposed to all kinds of information from a very young age, so they were often very precocious.
For example, Tan Jiawan was better at using computers and mobile phones than her father. She had set up a QQ group with her classmates and was proficient in all kinds of Internet terms. She was not someone who could be fooled by a few candies.
If Tan Hong wrote a "duckling", she would really think it was too childish!
Chen Fei 'er said, "It's good to be smart. Then you won't be cheated by boys in the future …"
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Chen, but her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness.
Song Wanliu sighed. "You dote on her more than Old Tan. Every time I teach her a lesson, she says she wants to run away from home to find her sister. You might as well take her away."
Chen Fei 'er pursed her lips and smiled. "I want to, but Big Brother Tan won't bear to."
Song Wanliu smiled. "If you want, then you and Lu Chen can have one too."
"Sister-in-law …"
Chen Fei 'er's pretty face blushed.
Song Wanliu said seriously, "I'm serious. Women should have children as soon as possible. Giving birth to Jiawan was really difficult. My body has not fully recovered until now."
Lu Xi raised her hand. "I support you. Mom is looking forward to holding a grandson!"
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did the topic suddenly shift to him and Chen Fei 'er?
But there were some things that he had to seriously consider.
He looked at Chen Fei 'er, and Chen Fei' er happened to look over. Their eyes met.
Their hearts were connected.
