it takes a little effort

Jiang Kai pushed and resisted a lot, and finally agreed to stay at Ling Chuan's house with a kindness and embarrassment.

Ling's mother was afraid that one quilt would not be enough, so she went to pack the bedding again.

Jiang Kai also took a sip of tea, he really felt embarrassed.

When he came back to face Ling Chuan's family members this time, he was actually very guilty, and his heart was always fuzzy. He always felt ashamed of his trust in Ling Chuan's parents, and he couldn't let go when chatting.

Hey.

They all took their precious son into the ditch.

I don't know if Ling Chuan's family will never let him in if they know about his two relationships in the future.

Grandpa and grandma started dinner after they came back from a walk in the park. If Zhou Yueyi's parents hadn't attended the wedding banquet of a colleague's son in the evening, the table would have been overcrowded.

Ling Chuan's parents can still chat as before, and when they drink, their mouths can't stop like clockwork, so only Yang Fan's sharp mouth can talk to them.

Jiang Kai and Ling Chuan sat next to each other, eating and drinking all the time without stopping, but under the table that everyone couldn't see, the two secretly hooked their little fingers.

This kind of poking behavior is really, very exciting.

"This braised pork Guofu is very delicious," grandma pushed the dish to the middle, "I have high blood pressure, so I can't eat too much greasy food, or this bowl won't be enough for me."

"So your appetite is inherited from your grandma." Jiang Kai rubbed Ling Chuan's thigh and whispered.

"Why, do you think I eat too much?" Ling Chuan poked Jiang Kai's waist.

Jiang Kai moved closer to Ling Chuan's ear, and whispered in a voice only enough for him to hear alone, "No, anyway, I can afford you."

Ling Chuan laughed immediately, stretched out his hand and rubbed Jiang Kai's lower back, "You said so."

"What are you mumbling about?" Yang Fan bumped Ling Chuan's arm and asked in a low voice.

"None of your business." Ling Chuan suppressed his voice, and poked the spoon in his hand on the back of Yang Fan's hand.

Yang Fan clicked on the phone memo and entered a string of text and handed it over.

【Your mother has been watching you two. 】

Ling Chuan raised his head abruptly, and his mother's eyes really stopped on Jiang Kai's face. The moment the eyes met, his mother quickly looked away again.

Ling Chuan's hand on Jiang Kai's back froze, and he suddenly felt guilty.

The two of them rubbed back and forth just now so forgetting themselves that they really didn't notice the eyes of the people around them.

But my mother definitely couldn't see the movements under the table clearly from that perspective, at most, he might have been seen when he touched Jiang Kai's back just now.

Although Ling Chuan had already made mental preparations for coming out, but now was not the most appropriate time, so he restrained himself a little later.

"Where's the cake that Jiang Jiang brought over?" Mother Ling asked after searching around the living room for the cake but failed.

"That needs to be refrigerated. I just put it in the refrigerator." Jiang Kai got up and took out the cake from the refrigerator. The moment he opened the box, everyone at the table went "wow".

"Ahh! So cute!" Zhou Yueyi immediately took out his phone, "Don't move! Let me take a few photos and send them to Moments first!"

"Chocolate," Ling Chuan smirked, rubbing Jiang Kai's thigh, "I like it."

"I picked one at random, as long as you like it." Jiang Kai raised his mouth slightly, and held Ling Chuan's hand calmly.

Yang Fan lit the candles, turned off the lights, and took the lead in singing the birthday song.

The warm yellow candlelight was flickering, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Ling Chuan's earnest side face making a wish made Jiang Kai feel dazed for a moment.

The Golden Retriever was like a grass dog when he was young, not much different, he was pure and cute. When he grows up, he will find that he is loyal and kind, clingy and has no temper, and he is also likable.

With such an innocent look, I really want to kiss him.

Jiang Kai helped Ling Chuan cut the cake and divided it among everyone.

Ling Chuan sat back on the chair, holding the palm-sized cake and biting down without even using a fork.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Kai asked.

"Yeah." Ling Chuan licked the chocolate sauce on the corner of his lips.

"Just 'huh'?" Jiang Kai was a little disappointed with this simple evaluation.

"It's delicious." Ling Chuan replied again.

"Then if you were asked to rate it, how much would you rate it?" Jiang Kai stared at his lips, "Combined with the appearance and taste, the full score is [-]."

"One hundred points." Ling Chuan took another big bite of the cake.

"Really?" Jiang Kai was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

"Taste, appearance, I give [-] points," Ling Chuan leaned into Jiang Kai's ear and whispered, "I give [-] points for the kindness of the cake maker."

Jiang Kai froze for a moment, then laughed, "Do you know who made this cake?"

"I don't know you yet," Ling Chuan looked at him. "If you buy a cake from outside, you can at most ask, is it delicious? No one keeps asking. I can tell you made it by moving my toes." yes."

Jiang Kai looked at him and said nothing.

"Thank you." Ling Chuan covered his face with his arms, pursed his lips and quietly blew a kiss.

Jiang Kai also sent him one when he was not paying attention.

"Baby," my mother brought out a plate of fruit from the kitchen. "Auntie introduced you to the girl on the Internet, how is your conversation going?"

"It's okay..." Ling Chuan immediately glanced at Jiang Kai's face.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Kai frowned.

Mom looked at him, "People don't like you?"

"What!" Ling Chuan roared, "What's wrong with me makes me look down on me! Why don't you say that I look down on her!"

"Then why do you look down on her?" Dad asked.

"It's not suitable, we can't talk." Ling Chuan squeezed Jiang Kai's palm, and Jiang Kai held his hand back.

"Hey, there are still times when you can't chat," my mother smiled, "Isn't it special to chat when you go to school? The teacher will change seats for you seven or eight times a semester."

"You said it was time to go to school, can't I be introverted and shy now?" Ling Chuan said.

"Be honest," Dad looked at him, "do you have a girl you like? If you want to talk to yourself, just tell us, and we won't waste that time thinking about it for you."

"I am..." When Ling Chuan was about to admit that he was in love, Jiang Kai suddenly squeezed his fingers hard. He didn't understand what it meant for a while, and swallowed the words abruptly.

"What is it?" Mom asked.

"...I have someone I like." Ling Chuan lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.

Like this kind of thing, it takes a certain amount of courage to say it, especially in front of so many relatives and friends.

Jiang Kai admires Ling Chuan's desperate courage, but at the same time, he is also afraid that this desperate will cause harm to his family who loves him.

He is trying to find a more appropriate way and a suitable time to explain all this to Ling Chuan's family, and to minimize the harm to everyone as much as possible, instead of giving such a heavy burden when everyone is unprepared. hit.

He was afraid of breaking the original warm and harmonious atmosphere in Ling Chuan's house, and he was even more afraid of Ling Chuan getting hurt.

"Does that person like you?" Grandpa gossiped.

"Probably..." Ling Chuan unconsciously glanced at Jiang Kai's expression again.

"Ask you, why do you always look at Xiaokai?" Dad said.

Ling Chuan turned his head abruptly, "I like it."

"Then why didn't you say it sooner," the mother sighed, "It's a good thing I gave up the lead dancer's position to Lao Gu."

"What lead dancer?" Dad asked.

"As for our community dance troupe to participate in the performance, didn't Lao Gu introduce her little niece to our family, Ling Chuan? I thought to myself that she has been thinking about this position, so I let her go," my mother said "tsk tsk" Twice, "There was a TV station filming that day."

"Which channel is broadcast?" Dad asked.

"Hey, it's Channel C. It was just broadcast last night. I only had two shots, and it passed by in a flash. I didn't even have time to take pictures and post them on Moments." My mother complained.

Dad took out his mobile phone, "I'll look online to see if there is any video, and I can take a screenshot for you."

After the topic was diverted, Ling Chuan heaved a sigh of relief, and tilted his head to look at Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai pinched his palm gently.

Ling Chuan's parents are quite open-minded, they are not the kind of ignorant and pedantic people, but it may take some time for them to understand and adapt.

In fact, the best way to prove this relationship is also time.

So very contradictory.

I hope that time can pass faster, so that Ling Chuan's parents can see the firmness of this relationship, but also hope that time can pass slowly, so that he can quietly enjoy every moment with Ling Chuan.

After dinner, a bunch of people rushed out of the house, everyone had their own leisure activities.

Dad went to dance pas de deux with mom, grandparents took fat oranges for a walk in the park, and the juniors all went to sing.

When they arrived at the box, there were already several people sitting in it, and the lights were a bit dim, Jiang Kai only recognized one of them as Sun Jiaxi.

After putting on makeup, the changes are a bit big, and being held in the arms of a boy next to him looks very sweet.

The other few are probably also lovers, which can be felt from the way they chat.

Jiang Kai habitually found a corner seat and sat down.

Seeing this pair of affectionate mandarin ducks, he felt that it was the right decision to stay in Yucheng today, otherwise Ling Chuan would have been mad if he had come here alone.

After Ling Chuan greeted them one by one, he sat next to Jiang Kai, "What do you want to drink?"

"I'll drink whatever you drink." Jiang Kai said.

"I'm drinking," Ling Chuan slapped his thigh, "I still remember that stupid Yang Fan who was owed at the poker table just now."

"Your hand hurts, so you can't drink." Jiang Kai said.

"Ah, I completely forgot about this." After Ling Chuan said this, the waiter had already entered with a bag of beer, "Forget it, just play around."

Jiang Kai put his arms around Ling Chuan's waist, and leaned into his ear and said, "Be coquettish, Dad will drink for you."
