"Xu Junyan, hurry up and act like a bitch."

Yang Chen's forehead hair drooped a little, he leaned against the porch, and urged for the third time.

I was annoyed by his reading, and stared at him fiercely: "I don't know who didn't let me set the alarm clock last night, saying that they would wake me up, but they only woke me up 5 minutes ago."

He shut up immediately, and after a while murmured softly: "Didn't I see that you were sleeping soundly, and I wanted you to rest a little longer."

I didn't bother to pay attention to this, went into the cloakroom and picked out two jackets and pants to wear when going out, then turned and went to the bathroom.

After I finished washing, I found that the clothes were rolled up and thrown beside the bed. Yang Chen took a shirt and stuffed it into my arms: "I wear this on the outside, with white short sleeves on the inside."

I just glanced at it before refusing: "I'm not going to do it. It's nearly [-] degrees Celsius today. One is too much. Add a coat? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

His face was slightly stiff, and he didn't know if he was angry with me. He ordered firmly: "If you tell you to wear it, you can wear it, don't talk nonsense."

The fabric of the shirt is light and thin. I twisted the thickness and found it to be within an acceptable range.He didn't want to quarrel early in the morning, so he took a T-shirt casually, put the shirt on the outside, and put on the trousers he had chosen.

Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, you're pretty dressed like this."

Even if I don't want to, I have to admit that his aesthetic is online, and this body is not as hot as imagined.

After sorting out the details, I lowered my head and buckled a watch, and said, "I'm almost packed, and I'm ready to go—where's the person?"

Yang Chen coughed lightly, and walked out of the bathroom.

He changed into a suit of clothes, although the style was different from mine, but the overall color system was the same, looking refreshing and casual in the hot summer.Coupled with his handsome appearance, he looks like a model in a magazine, even more eye-catching than them.

I raised my eyebrows and looked at him up and down for a long time without saying a word.

Yang Chen's expression was a little guilty, and he raised his voice and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up, I told my mother to arrive before ten o'clock, there may be traffic jams on the road, if you don't leave, you will be late..."

Unmoved, I stared at him until his ears were flushed, and even his cheeks flushed a little: "Damn, Xu Junyan, just say what you want to say, don't put on that hesitant expression!"

"It's not that I didn't wear couple clothes before, and I didn't refuse at that time. What's more, when I go to see my aunt later, I will definitely try my best to cooperate with your thoughts. You can tell me openly, there is no need to go through so much trouble."

I pretended to have suddenly realized, and said slowly: "Or is this also a special interest?"

Yang Chen became angry from embarrassment, and was so angry that he wanted to smoke: "Sexy! I just want to surprise you!"

"Yeah." I warned myself not to laugh, but still burst into laughter, "Sorry...I'm very surprised...haha..."

His face suddenly darkened, his face was aggrieved, and he couldn't find any excuses to hide it, so he slammed the door and went straight to drive.I knew that the joke was overdone. This person had a lot of self-esteem in front of me. In the end, I shouldn't make the joke too obvious and embarrass him.

When he sat in the passenger seat, he was still sulking, and the steering wheel was turning violently, like a teenager whose mind had been punctured.

I leaned over and asked, "What? Are you angry?"

Yang Chen didn't even look at me: "No!"

Thousands of clothes, flattery and no clothes, I smiled and praised him: "You are so handsome today."

He asked back: "When am I not handsome?"

Frustrated in the first battle, I made persistent efforts: "Watches are also very tasteful."

"Last time you said you looked like an upstart."

"Uh, the car is nice, new?"

His voice sounded gloomy and dripping: "This is the one you and I picked up four years ago."

I stepped on the thunder every sentence, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, so I had to use my trump card: "The ring on the ring finger is so beautiful, is it a pair with whom?"

As soon as the words were finished, Yang Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and quickly suppressed the curve, and said expressionlessly: "Don't think that I will forgive you if you do this."

I saw his tone softened, suppressed a smile, and said in a low voice: "How can I make you hold your hands high and let me go?"

He snorted: "Look at your next performance."

"Madam likes painting recently, and I have to practice for a while every day."

Hong Gu, who took care of Yang Chen's mother, led the way and reported to him in a low voice: "...the yoga teacher the young master hired is very useful. It's rare for Madam to persevere. Now I do exercises with her every day, and my sleep quality is better than before. , I don’t take sleeping pills much anymore…”

Yang Chen listened carefully, and responded from time to time: "Bring that teacher with you when you go back to recuperate next time, and it will cost me."

While speaking, she had already reached the front of the study room, Hong Gu pushed open the door and was about to speak out, but was stopped by him.

The woman was wearing a long light-colored dress, and was lowering her head to concentrate on drawing on the paper without turning her head.Yang Chen walked forward lightly, and I heard her soft voice: "You brat, are you trying to scare me?"

"Mom." He said helplessly, "Did you hear that?"

"Raising you for so many years, I can't hear your footsteps? People in their 20s are still like children who haven't grown up."

She cursed a few words, then turned her head and smiled at me: "I haven't seen Junyan for a long time, come here and let me have a look."

Years passed, and I thought I had been polished beyond recognition, but she was still beautiful, like a flower sealed in a crystal ball.

The ruthless years can only detract from her external brilliance, but not the brilliance in her bones.

"Hello, Auntie." I lowered my head slightly to the thin woman in front of me and said softly, "You are still as beautiful as ever."

She held my hand and said with a smile, "So good, so good. Why are you still called Auntie? You can change your mouth."

I couldn't think of a suitable answer, so I couldn't help turning my head to look at Yang Chen, who said, "Mom, he has a thin skin, don't be so anxious, he will call sooner or later."

She glanced at Yang Chen: "I'm talking to Jun Yan, don't interrupt me."

"Okay, okay." He raised his hand in admitting defeat, with a smile on his lips, "I'm not going to say anything."

Mrs. Yang pointed to the meticulous painting on the table, and said to me happily: "I heard from Shen Shen that you have studied art for many years, and you are also engaged in art collections, so you must have a good eye. Look, what needs to be corrected?"

Complimenting people is a technical job. It should make people happy after listening to it, but it should not show traces of flattery.

I deliberated for a few seconds, picked a few places and analyzed the advantages in detail, coaxing her to nod: "Really? I also think it's a good performance. I've been sketching here for Lingmao all morning. Last week I drew a peony, red Auntie, where did you keep it? Take it out quickly."

After learning that the painting was sent to be framed, she was a little disappointed. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Junyan, Shenchen said that your calligraphy is excellent. How about you help me inscribe a poem on this painting?"

Does Yang Chen's zodiac sign belong to trumpet? Why tell his mother everything!I immediately blushed: "Auntie, I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time..."

Yang Chen interjected at the right time and rescued me: "Mom, you forgot that you have a real son here, so why don't you let me write first?"

Mrs. Yang was amused by the jealousy in his tone, and she smiled like a flower: "All right, all right, you write first. Since I was a child, I love to fight for the first one. From now on, it's a family, so don't compete with Junyan."

Yang Chen took the brush and held it with his elbow hanging, writing in a very chic way.

Mrs. Yang liked her son's handwriting as much as she liked it, and immediately told Aunt Hong: "No need to dye it, it's already perfect, take it and frame it together, and hang it in my bedroom."

I didn't know that he would know this, but when I was stunned, I saw him throwing a smug glance at me from the corner of my eye, and I suddenly felt that this person was naive.

Except for this small episode, today is generally peaceful.Mrs. Yang loves the house and the crow, and her attitude towards me is more affectionate than last time, which made me feel a little at a loss.

We stayed for the whole afternoon, she said she wanted to drink the white fungus soup made by Yang Chen himself before dinner, and sent him to the kitchen.I realized that she had something to say to me alone, and sure enough, I heard her say in the next sentence: "Junyan, come with me."

I followed her to the upstairs bedroom, thinking that if she asked me about Yang Chen's father later, I would not be able to explain clearly.

When I sat down, she looked at me seriously, then exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "Junyan, I'm really happy that you and Shen Chen are together."

I was stunned for a moment, and she said: "Shen Shen has a stubborn personality and often has a bad temper. He must be suitable for an obedient and gentle child like you. Don't look at how strong and capable he is on the outside. In fact, he is the most soft-hearted, but he just can't express it. Don't quarrel with him about trivial matters, come to me, and I will teach him a lesson and vent your anger on you."

"Shen Chen has a bad stomach, that's up to me, raw, cold, and spicy are all taboos. He doesn't take it seriously, Junyan, you should pay more attention. The cook here cooks a lot of hometown dishes, and the taste is too spicy. I guess it's not to your liking. I In two days, ask Honggu to find a few good chefs who cook light dishes and send them to your side, so as to save both of you trouble."

"Also, since he's busy outside, there will definitely be entertainment, so don't take it to heart when he's playing tricks. Of course, if it goes too far, you can't just tolerate it, you have to ask him to correct it..."

I didn't want to refute the face of my elders, so I could only listen with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, as if ten thousand god beasts and mud horses were galloping past in my heart.

This magnificent beauty, with the attitude of a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law, lovingly taught me how to manage the house for 10 minutes-the problem is Mrs. Yang, you have failed to do several of them yourself!

Before my patience was about to run out, she finally said something about it, got up and went inside, and after a while, she held a brocade box and handed it to me.

The box is very big, and the hand is heavy, which is quite heavy.

She smiled and said, "Open it and have a look."

I carefully opened the clasp, and when it was fully opened, there were three layers, and each layer had different things: jadeite bracelets, jadeite bead chains, jadeite rings and earrings... The same thing is that all of them are rich in blue color, shiny and flawless.

This kind of full green jadeite is now priceless, what a great deal.

"This kind of good thing that can be passed down to the family is rare now. This set was specially given to me by my father before I got married. He asked me to keep it well and leave it to my daughter in the future. It's a pity that I didn't give Shen Chen a baby." No need, sister. I'll give it to you now—"

I refused without hesitation: "Auntie, this is too precious."

"Take it, we are all family members, don't refuse. This thing was originally placed in the bank, but Hong Gu was specially sent to get it back a few days ago."

She bent her eyes and lifted the broken hair beside her ears: "It's not for you, after all, you can't wear women's jewelry. This is the dowry I prepared for my granddaughter in advance."

My voice gradually became stiff: "...granddaughter?"

Mrs. Yang didn't pay attention to my changes. She stroked the bracelet with her snow-white slender fingers, with nostalgia and sadness on her face: "I might not be here on the day she gets married, so I will hand it over to you in advance, and you will send it to me when the time comes." Go out and let her know how good grandma is!"

Seeing me lower my eyes, she said softly: "Oh, Junyan, don't get me wrong, I treat both of your children equally, naturally I have other good things to keep."

"Me and his child?" I repeated, asking a little sarcastically, "When are you going to have it?"

"I don't understand medical matters. From Shen Shen's tone, he is ready, probably this year or next." Mrs. Yang patted the back of my hand, "You have also reached the age where you should have the next generation. My sister has already embraced her grandchildren, and I am so envious."

I didn't answer, I just thought that the summer heat had just passed, and the high temperature on the ground hadn't dissipated yet.

But my body is actually so cold.
