The landlord is my crush

◎We are not serious◎

Chen Yuqing was taken aback by the little girl, and he pinched a few fingerprints on the egg waffle, and immediately reacted and squatted down to hug Chen Jinxi, he handed her the ice cream egg waffle in his hand, and comforted her: "It's okay, Xiaoxi , eat this."

A numb touch came from the top of her head, soothing the nervous little girl, Chen Jinxi calmed down, and licked the ice cream in small bites.

There were too many people around, Chen Yuqing couldn't figure out where Chen Jinxi came from for a while.He pulled Chen Jinxi into the surrounding lounge, carried her to a chair, and asked her, "Did Xiaoxi come here with mother?"

Chen Jinxi nodded, shaking her braid, and seemed to think of something, her big eyes were full of worry: "Brother, you go, my mother must be looking for me, I will be in trouble if I see you."

"It's okay, don't worry, brother will stay with you for a while, I haven't talked to Xiaoxi for a long time." Chen Yuqing said so, but still sent a message to call Xu Zhuo over.

There are worries, but it's rare to see my sister once, and if I don't talk to her properly now, I don't know when the next meeting will be.

After Xu Zhuo received the news, he hurried over. The ice cream egg waffle in his hand ate half of it and melted half: "Hurry up, give me two pieces of paper and put it on my clothes."

Chen Yu knew where the paper came from, looked around and locked on the ice cream truck just now, and said, "Wait a minute, you, look at my sister here, I will find paper for you."

"Hey," Xu Zhuo looked at Chen Jinxi as if he had discovered a new world, and Chen Jinxi shrank his neck. "This is your sister. If you weren't standing here, I would have thought you had taken rejuvenation medicine."

Chen Yuqing ignored his joke, and slapped him on the back: "Look, you are the only one who asks when someone is missing."

Seeing Xu Zhuo's reassurance, Chen Yuqing turned around and went back the same way with confidence.I thought about taking the paper and going back in such a hurry, asking about Xiao Xi's recent situation and talking to her a few words, but something happened.

Almost at the same location, Chen Yuqing met the person he least wanted to meet—his mother, Ms. Cao Xuemei.

Cao Xuemei is holding a delicate leather bag and wearing a blue dress like Chen Jinxi's. She has exquisite makeup and elegant temperament. Standing in the crowd, there will always be people looking at her admiringly.

It's just that this elegant and delicate woman is not in the mood to pay attention to the gazes around her. Anxiety is written between her brows, and her brown eyebrows completely furrowed the moment she saw Chen Yuqing, as if she saw a broom star.

Chen Yuqing unconsciously grabbed the tissue in his hand, squinted his eyes and pretended not to see Ms. Cao, and Ms. Cao spoke first: "Why are you here?"

Chen Yuqing opened his mouth, thinking that he couldn't speak clearly, and in the end he didn't speak at all, and stepped forward to find a place to hide.

Cao Xuemei said again: "I've let you go for so long, and the bank card didn't ban you, just because I was afraid that you didn't eat well outside. It's all right now, do you have money to come to the playground?"

"So what, you didn't give me the money in the card, but my grandma gave me the New Year's money. I need your permission before I can use it?" Chen Yuqing stopped in her tracks, couldn't hold back her mouth, and refuted her mother in a rare way.

"I don't care about you for now," Cao Xuemei said calmly, "Where is Xiaoxi, she was waiting for me here just now, did you see her? She kissed you, did she see you coming to look for you?"

Chen Yu said with a clear heart that he didn't know, but he swallowed the words when he got to his lips, and he said, "Yes, come with me."

Seeing his cooperation, Cao Xuemei rarely softened her attitude: "It just so happens that we need to have a good talk."

There are all kinds of snack stalls in this leisure area, almost all of which are desserts.The air is filled with the smell of sweet and greasy candy, fermented in the hot summer.Listening to the regular sound of high heels behind her, Chen Yuqing had a rare reaction to the dessert.

He went to the vending machine to buy a bottle of mineral water, and gulped a few gulps to dispel the boredom in his chest.The ice water flowed down the intestinal tract until it reached the bottom of the stomach. Chen Yuqing was relieved when he figured out something.

Cao Xuemei behind him was still urging him, and asked him if he was cheating, Chen Yuqing turned around, "Are you still afraid that your son will cheat you?"

Cao Xuemei was so choked that she couldn't speak: "... lead the way!"

The lounge is close to the only lake in the playground. The cruise ships on the lake are driving happily, and people on the shore can hear the laughter from the boat from time to time.

Cao Xuemei has been looking around since entering the lounge, looking for that touch of blue, before Chen Yuqing walked over, she looked for her daughter.

She jumped over Chen Yuqing and walked straight to Chen Jinxi: "Xiaoxi!"

At this moment, Chen Jinxi had already finished licking the ice cream, and was sipping on the egg waffles around her when she heard a "hiss" and bit her tongue.She poked her tongue out and asked in surprise, "Mom?" Immediately after she saw Chen Yuqing with a sullen face behind her mother, Chen Yuqing withdrew his face and smiled comfortingly at her.

"Didn't Mom tell you to stay where you are and don't run around?" Cao Xuemei hugged her daughter repeatedly to confirm her daughter's safety. She glanced at Xu Zhuo, whose arms were dangling because of ice cream on her hands, "Why are you still talking to strangers?" Are people sitting together?"

Xu Zhuo received Ms. Cao's malicious look, and looked at her in turn with his mouth curled.He also knows something about the family situation at the same table. He had a good chat with the little girl before, and they just exchanged contact information. When the auntie came, the little girl bit her lip and didn't say anything, and his good mood was ruined. Clean, so he said: "You are Chen Jinxi's mother? Where have you been? Do you know that there are so many people in the amusement park that it is not safe to leave a little girl where she is?"

Without waiting for Cao Xuemei to refute, Xu Zhuo went on to say: "It's fine if you're an old man. There are some places where you can't go to the creek, but you..." Cao Duan glanced at Cao Xuemei up and down, and said with a sneer: "I see, Auntie, you It's not inconvenient either."

It's actually very impolite for Xu Zhuo to say such things about his elders, especially his own mother, but Chen Yuqing listened secretly, and it's been a long time since anyone has criticized Ms. Cao like this.

Cao Xuemei was often scolded by her grandma when she lived at her grandmother's house. She couldn't bear it, so she persuaded Chen's father to move out. Now that she is the boss, no one dares to scold her.

For a moment, Cao Xuemei's face turned red and then blue, which was indeed her negligence. At that time, the company had a phone call. Cao Xuemei thought it was noisy, so she went to a quiet place to make a call, and he left the child where she was.It was also fortunate that Chen Yuqing was there at the time, otherwise she would not have known who had taken her daughter.

She coughed under cover: "It's mine, Xiaoyu, sit down, we just have a talk."

Xu Zhuo stood up wittily, and asked for the paper in Chen Yuqing's hand, "It came so slowly, it's stuck on my clothes." He only heard him whisper, "I'll go find Brother Yu."

Chen Yu paused and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the outsider had left, Cao Xuemei sat down and ordered two glasses of fruit juice. She asked, "Do you still think Mom is wrong?"

"What's wrong, you're right." Chen Yuqing said.

Cao Xuemei sighed, and said in a gentle voice: "Mom knows that you are throwing a temper tantrum. In fact, Mom has thought about herself these days. I really didn't think carefully about asking you to take care of my sister in the third year of junior high school. Now that Mom has found a nanny, you Come back quickly."

Chen Yu was dumbfounded. Why did she find a good nanny? Wasn't she unwilling before?

Cao Xuemei took the juice handed over by the waiter, and put a glass in front of Chen Yuqing: "Mom was angry when she said that education is not important. Your aunt called a few days ago to announce the good news, saying that his son is recommended to be a graduate student, and what will happen in the future."

"Mom thinks you can do it, and supports you unconditionally now."

"..."

Chen Yuqing didn't quite hear what she said, it was probably something to persuade him to go back.Not long ago, he was full of anticipation that his mother would say these words in person, but now, when he really heard it, there was no emotion in his heart.

Why is this so?He asked himself, isn't this the result he most expected to see?

"...Like... can I..."

Chen Yuqing came back to his senses, those romantic words miraculously pierced through his mother's meaningless persuasion, and got into his ears.

He looked sideways, and his eyes were fixed on a large bouquet of bright red roses on the table on the other side of the aisle. There was a small velvet box hidden inside the roses.

It turned out to be a marriage proposal.

"Are you listening?" Seeing that Chen Yuqing was distracted, Cao Xuemei followed his gaze and snorted coldly, "Not serious."

The velvet box was carefully picked up by two big hands, and when it was opened, there was a pair of rings inside. The style was simple, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a ring.

The owner of the big hand said: "Would you like to spend the rest of your life with me, without asking or listening to gossip, from now to forever."

The person opposite stretched out the same slender hand to cover his mouth and choked up: "...Of course, my honor."

Chen Yuqing looked along those hands: short hair, Adam's apple...it's actually a man!

"Not serious," Cao Xuemei said again, "Xiaoyu, don't look at them, they are not normal, mom is telling you something serious..."

Chen Yuqing had a flash of inspiration and interrupted Cao Xuemei: "Mom, I don't want to go back."

"Are you stupid outside?"

Chen Yuqing didn't look at Cao Xuemei, but still looked sideways at the couple exchanging rings, and murmured, "Mom, I'm the same as them."

"what?"

Chen Yuqing looked straight into Cao Xuemei's shocked eyes, and said seriously, "I'm the same as them, not serious."

The table was quiet for a moment, even Chen Jinxi, who was as young as Chen Jinxi, felt the tense atmosphere, so he stopped eating egg waffles.

"I must have heard wrong." After a long time, Mother Cao comforted herself, "I must have heard wrong."

"Come back with me, I'll just pretend you didn't say that." Mother Cao stood up and wanted to pull Chen Yuqing's arm.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chen Jinxi grabbed Cao Xuemei's clothes and said, "Mom!"

Cao Xuemei brushed her daughter's hand away, and then went to pull the struggling teenager: "You are like this, where do I put my face?"

"Is your face more important than mine?" Chen Yu asked with a cold face while struggling.

Cao Xuemei's face was blank for a moment, she was stunned, she didn't notice a tall slender boy walking behind Chen Yuqing, the boy pulled Chen Yuqing hard, and pulled her into his arms.

Cao Xuemei opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment: "Are you...you...?"

Through the thin fabric, Chen Yuqing could clearly feel the scorching temperature behind him and the heaving chest of the visitor, and a familiar voice came to his ears, still calm as before: "Not serious, we are not serious."
