Xu Lin reheated the rice again, and served it to the two people, who had already finished massaging the legs.
"Alright, go wash up, you've worked hard," he said.
"It's okay, not hard," replied Chu Fengyi, nodding as she headed to the bathroom.
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Xu Lin noticed his mother gesturing to him. So he approached her.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Did you teach her?" his mother inquired.
"What do you mean, teach her?"
"She suddenly became... I can't keep up with it."
"Is this not good? But I really haven't taught her. However, I noticed she lost weight after going out, maybe she encountered some troubles. I'll ask her."
"Mm."
"Have you changed your opinion of her?"
"I just think having a mixed-race grandson wouldn't be bad."
"..." Xu Lin instantly felt ashamed, truly no match for my mother.
But he also remembered something, that is, yesterday with Qin Yunhe, if she accidentally got pregnant, what should he do? However, taking pills would definitely harm the body, and he felt awkward to ask. He'll ask when there's nothing going on tonight.
Besides, to be honest, he really wants a child. But if he already has a child, and then pursues other girls... that would be beyond despicable.
Chu Fengyi also came out of the bathroom at this time, and Li Yuan hurriedly invited her to sit down beside her, and the two began to eat.
Chu Fengyi scooped up a spoonful and squinted her eyes. "Your fried rice is delicious."
"As long as it's delicious, but there's no more left. This is just one bowl per person."
"By the way, why are you still at home at this time? You haven't finished school yet, have you?"
"I have some things to take care of, so I took a leave of absence."
"Oh, something, huh?" Chu Fengyi raised an eyebrow.
"But when you're not here, I didn't slack off on the exercises you arranged."
"Okay, I'll check your workout progress when I have time."
"Yeah, I managed to get your sister to exercise too."
"Oh, that's good. Chu Qingchan has always been lazy since she was a child. Now that she's thinking about exercising, she might have gained weight."
"Perhaps. By the way, as the chairman, you often leave there. Is there no problem?"
"If the chairman had to be there all the time, the company might as well go bankrupt! Those people I hired aren't there to slack off."
"That's true."
Seeing Chu Fengyi returning to her confident and commanding demeanor, he felt much relieved. She was probably just tired.
"I'm done eating, I'll leave the bowl to you. I'll go rest first, and thank you Fengyi for bringing me so many gifts."
"It's just a little token of appreciation."
"You two chat, I have the night shift. I'll go rest first."
"Okay, Auntie."
As Li Yuan entered the bedroom, Xu Lin also felt a bit more relaxed. After all, having parents around always felt a bit formal.
"Do you have something you want to ask me?"
Chu Fengyi said softly, finishing the rice grains in the bowl effortlessly. It seems she wasn't just being polite; his cooking skills are indeed impressive at level 2.
"Did anything happen when you went out this time?"
"Do you think I've changed a lot?"
"Quite a bit, you look much worn out. Especially with your temper gone, it worries me a bit."
"Do I have to hit you for you not to worry?"
"Haha, that's not it."
"I went back and stopped by to see my father."
"Did your father mention anything about you, or did he ask for your sister to go back?"
Xu Lin was also a bit nervous; he didn't have much leverage to talk to the father of these two young ladies.
"No, it's my mother who noticed that I'm in love and asked me to bring you back."
"..."
"Do you want to go back with me?"
"Your sister also asked me about this, but I can't go now."
"Are you afraid?" Chu Fengyi looked at him, waiting for his answer, more serious than usual.
"I'm not afraid of your father, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you all, so I need to work harder."
"Actually, we don't care about those things at all."
"But I must gain your father's approval, so I have to strive for it! I want to be your husband with dignity!"
"Wow~ Xu Lin! You exposed yourself! How dare you want us like that? Trying to have both sisters? No matter how much you achieve, he won't agree."
"I was just kidding~"
"My Father is such a greedy person. In fact whether it's Auntie or my Mother, both of them are such perfect women. Yet they are tied to such a man."
"But your father has achieved many things that many men want to but cannot, hasn't he?"
"But he only ended up hurting two women who loved him. Actually, Auntie and my mother used to get along well, but later they became estranged because of him."
"I won't. I will make everyone happy."
"That's impossible. Women are not that kind, jealousy is inherent. How could they agree to share with other women?"
Chu Fengyi carried the bowl to the kitchen, and Xu Lin followed suit.
"Are you jealous of your sister too?"
"Of course, but there isn't much... Wait a minute, Xu Lin, you don't really have any ideas, do you!?"
At first, Chu Fengyi thought Xu Lin was just joking with her. But the more they talked, the more she felt something was off. Could this guy really be considering marrying both sisters?
"Cough! I'm serious!"
Xu Lin experienced something yesterday that helped him grow a lot, and most importantly, it strengthened his belief.
That is to firmly stick to the fundamental goal of collecting all 12 zodiac signs, and at the very least, to ensure he is responsible to every girl who likes him!
"In that case, I choose to withdraw, and you can marry Chu Qingchan."
"Huh? Why, I thought you two didn't get along?"
"But I don't want to compete with her."
If Chu Qingchan heard this, she would probably be directly moved to tears.
"But Xu Lin, I'm afraid you might have other thoughts."
"What other thoughts could I have?"
"What about that starry-eyed class monitor of yours? And what about Teacher Su? And... that student Bai, what's the situation with them?"
"Chu Fengyi, even as a big boss, why are you so gossipy! Oh, by the way, let me tell you something, your sister is collaborating with Ji Yun."
"Collaborating with that girl? What are they collaborating on?"
"It's like, after they collaborated, they stopped me from being flirtatious and seeking other girls."
"What? Is this some kind of harem anime plot? Chu Qingchan, are you losing your mind? No, I have to go and ask!"
Chu Fengyi suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with that girl in her family, actually collaborating with the love rival!
Did she really think that she was several years older, so she could control that girl?
Since the first meeting, Chu Fengyi felt that the other party was a tough opponent.
Liu Qinnuan is obviously a little green tea, and she also has to adapt to the entertainment industry environment.
But this Ji Yun is the kind of girl who brings about a feeling of first love, that innocence and gentleness are completely genuine.
Yet, she doesn't appear clumsy; she feels quite intelligent, which is a killer trait for a young boy!
So she feels that her clumsy sister simply can't handle the other party. If Xu Lin had to choose, she would probably lose badly.
"Your sister went to Teacher Guan's place during the day."
"No, I'm going to have a chat with that girl."
"Don't be like that~ she is just a high school student, are you that jealous?"
"Hehe~ Me, jealous? I'm just worried about Chu Qingchan, that silly sister of mine!"
Chu Fengyi gave him a glare, then walked outside, and Xu Lin followed helplessly.
After all, he couldn't win, and there's only one martial arts master experience card, but the side effects... if it happened to Chu Fengyi.
The next day, he might end up being Xu Gonggong(Eunuch Xu) directly, it's better to rely on oneself.
But once tempted by the forbidden fruit, Xu Lin indeed found it quite enjoyable.
But he had to endure it!
They are all his treasures, he must protect and cherish them, just let things take their natural course.
