"Sister Youlu, have some tea." Chen Chu brought her a cup of tea.
Chen Youlu quickly took it. When she took the teacup, their fingers accidentally touched. It was clearly nothing, but it made their hearts skip a beat and their faces heat up. She kept feeling that after the flirtatious ride on the electric scooter in the morning, and a few more coincidences that happened later, the two of them had the signs of falling in love and their hormones exploded.
"Sister Youlu, have some tea."
"Oh, yes, yes." Chen Youlu exclaimed. Because her father loved tea, she often drank tea and had drunk a lot of good tea. However, she felt that this pot of tea leaves gave off a better feeling and enjoyment.
The taste was just ordinary tea leaves. It tasted slightly bitter and sweet. However, after drinking it, she felt like she had suddenly eaten a mint candy. Yet it was not as stimulating as mints to lift her spirits. Instead, it felt like her essence, energy, and spirit were being nurtured, and her body felt very comfortable.
It was as comfortable as drinking a mouthful of warm water on a cold and hungry day.
"This tea is delicious." She took a small sip.
Chen Chu also agreed. This was the effect of the special energy factor in the Marrow Cleansing Spring. He drank pots of tea until the taste of the tea leaves became bland.
Chen Chu wanted to make another pot.
"Don't brew it anymore. I can't drink anymore." Chen Youlu's face was slightly red, indicating that she couldn't drink anymore.
The two of them couldn't find anything to talk about. They looked at each other and saw that the atmosphere was gradually deviating again.
Chen Chu took out his phone. "Sister Youlu, do you play games?"
Chen Youlu took out her phone from her bag. "Yes, I often play with my best friends."
"Is there King of Glory? Do you want to play one round? I'll take you!" Chen Chu was full of confidence.
The two of them started the game and teamed up to score points. After one round, Chen Chu started another round. Good lord, he was already bad enough. He was at a low level. Now, he had met someone who was similar to him. The only good thing about playing with Chen Youlu was that she could share her skin with all the heroes.
A paid-to-win player?
A noon who likes to play?
…
At 4:30 p.m., the two of them played a total of five rounds and won two out of five.
The two of them could not help but curse their stupid teammates. Then, they turned off the game and stopped playing.
For the past two days, elementary school students were on holiday. A large group of elementary school students were playing with other people's accounts. They were already scammed to begin with, and they still had to bring along useless teammates. They really could not bring them along. The two of them decided to wait until night time to get more points.
His parents finally came back after they took their time to buy the vegetables.
Both Chen Chu's family and Chen Youlu were very satisfied with this meal. The taste did not change after using the Marrow Cleansing Spring to cook, but they were especially satisfied after eating the food. Their bodies were filled with comfort.
Putting down the bowl, Chen Youlu's face turned slightly red. She had accidentally eaten too much. After sitting for a while and drinking tea to digest her food, Chen Youlu bade farewell.
Yang Yumei quickly took out the sausage and bacon that she had prepared. Chen Youlu did not decline and accepted it generously.
Yang Yumei and Chen Guoqiang's faces turned green when Chen Chu brought up a water dispenser full of water.
No, why did you give her a bucket of water?
However, since they had already given it away, the two of them had no choice but to glare at Chen Chu a few times.
"Chen Chu, help Youlu carry it and send her off."
"Alright, Sister Youlu, let's go. I'll send you off." Chen Chu picked up the vacuumed-packed sausage and bacon with one hand, while he held the bucket with the other hand effortlessly.
His parents watched the two of them walk away. They opened the window and looked down. After a while, they saw the two of them chatting as they walked out of the building. The two of them approached a car that was obviously not cheap. After opening the door, they moved the things in. Then, the two of them seemed to have said something. After a while, they waved goodbye. She got into the car, closed the door, and drove away.
Yang Yumei was surprised. The car was beautiful, but why was the door opened upwards?
Usually, fancy things were not cheap.
…
After Chen Chu returned, he was interrogated by Yang Yumei. "Tell me honestly, are you related to this young lady? Do you really know her father, or are you just making up an excuse?"
Chen Chu had no choice but to explain again. Other than not mentioning Chen Baijia's identity, as he was afraid that the two of them would not be able to accept it. Everything else was made clear.
The couple nodded. "Chen Chu, you better behave yourself. I think that girl's family background is extraordinary. Look, she just graduated from university and she's already driving a car. That car alone must have cost hundreds of thousands! Our family's conditions are not good enough for her."
Chen Chu was embarrassed. "Mom, what are you talking about? Sister Youlu is five years older than me. She's already 21 this year."
Yang Yumei glanced at him. "I think your eyes are glued to her body."
Chen Chu was embarrassed.
"Alright, alright. The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Why are you worrying so much? There's still a long way to go. Why are you so sure that our son won't be able to make a name for himself?"
After ending the conversation, Chen Chu curiously picked up Chen Baijia's gift. One of the bags was huge, and the other two weren't small.
Chen Chu simply opened it. The first bag contained a laptop, a phone, and a tablet. He was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Chen Baijia had asked him if he was interested in anything today. In the end, he said that he liked to play games on his phone.
Yang Yumei took a look and was shocked. "These three things are not cheap, right?"
Chen Chu glanced at the phone and recognized it as a Samsung phone. With Chen Baijia's handiwork, it was definitely the latest model. Just the phone alone was probably worth ten thousand yuan.
Chen Chu did not dare to say anything, afraid that his mother would not be able to accept it. He opened the second bag. It was an exquisite and classic gift box. He looked at it and saw that it was two boxes of tobacco. There was another exquisite and beautiful box. When he opened it, he saw that it was an ordinary-looking pipe.
There was an ordinary pipe in the exquisite box? It was impossible no matter how one thought about it.
Chen Chu recalled that when they were chatting in the morning, Chen Baijia had asked him if his father usually smoked. It turned out that he had started preparing at that time. "Dad, Uncle Chen prepared it for you."
His father took the two boxes, tobacco and pipe, beaming. The last bag was a set of cosmetics and two handbags. Chen Chu didn't know anything about cosmetics or bags. "Mom, it's yours."
Yang Yumei took it, but she did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she said worriedly, "These gifts are not cheap. Isn't our return gift too light?"
Chen Chu comforted her, "Mom, to them, the value of these things might be equivalent to the bacon and sausages we give out. We're just a small family. We can't possibly compete with others to see who gives more expensive gifts, right? Ten of us won't be able to compare to him."
Well, it couldn't compare to a single strand of hair on his thigh. Besides, didn't Chen Chu also give him the Marrow Cleansing Spring? Could one buy the Marrow Cleansing Spring with money?
If this Marrow Cleansing Spring was sold, those who knew the effects of the spring water would probably fight for it.
How much money do those rich people invest each year for their longevity and health? From private doctors to family clinics and even private hospitals for capitalists.
Physical therapist, nutritionist…
A large group of people served the bodies and health of the rich. One could imagine how much money rich people were willing to spend for their longevity and health.
So, how much could the Marrow Cleansing Spring be sold for? How was such miraculous spring water compared to those so-called nutritional supplements, health supplements, and medicinal soups?
