She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 188 188 is a classmate and also a boss
After careful consideration, the final address of the dinner was changed.

It’s not that Chen Shen was stingy with the money, but mainly because he took Qin Yu and Zhang Yan’s feelings into consideration.

The last time I invited them to dinner, they were already flattered. Even a dinner priced at 300 yuan was like this. If I really wanted to invite someone so expensive, based on his understanding of Zhang Yan, this person might do me the honor of coming to dinner, but she would not take the initiative to contact him afterwards.

High school friendship is not materialistic at all. At least so far, his relationship with everyone has not changed.

But 1688 is too much for a college student. How can Zhang Yan treat him back with such an expensive meal?

I have to say, interpersonal relationships are really complicated.

Of course, Chen Shen must eat at 1688. After all, it has become Chen Shen’s new white moonlight. He plans to take Sui Sui and the other person to eat there when he has time.

As for the re-selected dinner venue.
"Ah~ It's so warm~ I don't even want to move~"

Zhang Yan, who only had one class in the afternoon, was the first to knock on the door of her house. After entering, she let out a long sigh and said.

"Take off your coat quickly and come over to help."

Watching Chen Shen turning and leaving, Zhang Yan hung her coat on the hook beside her, then turned her head to look at the table in front of Chen Shen, and after a moment of silence, she exclaimed.

"What the hell are you doing! Lo mein!?"

The originally empty living room was occupied by a table, and the familiar dishes on the table made Zhang Yan, a native of Tianjin, feel excited.

She looked at the dishes on the table, then at Chen Shen's apron and the kitchen knife in his hand, with a confused expression.

"No, man, who are you?"

"You idiot? I'm your father." Chen Shen was not polite at all when facing Zhang Yan.

"It is indeed Chen Shen, but can you cook?"

"Is this weird? If you can't make a complicated thing, then isn't it easy to make a simple lo mein?"

Lo mein is not that difficult to make. He makes a homely version, not the formal banquet version.

The ingredients are just shredded cucumber, shredded carrot, and some green peppers and beans to increase the taste.

The only thing that requires certain skills is the marinade used as the topping. He has already bought the ingredients and will just need Aunt Sun to give him some remote guidance later.

Zhang Yan was happy. She rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. After washing her hands briefly, she took the kitchen knife handed to her by Chen Shen and skillfully cut the cucumber diagonally. Her neat movements made Chen Shen's eyes widen.

"What the hell? You can do that, too?"

“I usually cook at home.”

"Tsk, this setting doesn't match your personality. Try to show off less in the future."

"Aren't your fucking Sui Sui and Xiao Yu back yet?"

Although Zhang Yan only had one class in the afternoon, it was already around five o'clock, almost six o'clock, when she arrived.

This is also the time when Qin Yu and her classmates finish class.

"No, probably on the way."

"It's still the same five people as last time, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, then these cucumbers are enough. But Liu Yujie is from Shanghai, right? Is he used to eating this?"

Chen Shen didn't even raise his head and continued to pick leeks: "Qin Yu is from Hebei, it's okay, just eat it."

"That's true."

After a while, the apartment door was pushed open again.

This time, Chen Shen didn't need to remotely control the elevator because Xu Suiyou had his own access card.

The two girls came into the house with cold bodies, which immediately cooled the originally warm living room a lot.

Chen Shen and Zhang Yan both trembled, then shouted at the two people at the door: "Close the door!"

Qin Yu, who fell behind, quickly closed the door and then laughed at the two of them.

"Is it that cold?"

"That's not."

"Merry Christmas~" Qin Yu moved closer to Zhang Yan, hugged her friend affectionately, and sent her Christmas wishes.

Zhang Yan, wrapped in the cold, had a look of despair on her face and replied helplessly, "Merry Christmas."

"But are we eating lo mein on Christmas? Isn't it a bit magical." After hanging up her coat, Xu Suiyou threw her bag on the sofa, rubbed her hands, walked behind Chen Shen, and hugged her boyfriend from behind.

The restless little hands reached into the hem of Chen Shen's shirt very comfortably and directly touched Chen Shen's waist.

The cold little hand made Chen Shen shudder, but he did not push Xu Suiyou away. There were many people around, so he gave Xu Suiyou some face.

"What's the big deal? We're not having dinner together to celebrate Christmas. Here, eat first." Chen Shen answered while breaking off a cucumber and handing it to Xu Suiyou, trying to get Xu Suiyou to take his hand away.

Fortunately, Xu Suiyou didn’t think too much about it. He reached out to take the cucumber and walked towards the sofa in the living room.

She can't help with cooking, but she's okay with eating.

"Just the four of us?" Qin Yu asked curiously.

"Old Liu is still upstairs. Call him down when you're familiar with him."

"Oh."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Shen weighed the leeks in his hand, put them away, and then brought some vegetables that needed to be cooked into the kitchen.

Well, let this newly minted millionaire cook for himself. If you think about it, this is not cheaper than the 1688 buffet!
He set up his phone, found Aunt Sun's WeChat, asked her if she was available, and then made a video call.

Just as Chen Shen was busy preparing the toppings, the three women who were free sat on the sofa.

"Don't you need help?" The kind-hearted classmate Qin couldn't help but look towards the closed kitchen and asked in a low voice.

"No, and we can't help you either. Can you do it?"

“I haven’t eaten any.”

"Huh? You didn't eat it once during your senior year?"

Qin Yu nodded. She knew that people in Tianjin had the tradition of eating lo mein during festivals, but she and her mother were not from Tianjin, and few people would order lo mein in a restaurant.

This is considered a home-cooked dish in Tianjin. No matter how good the restaurant is, it can't make the taste of home. It's just like everyone in Tianjin thinks the pancakes downstairs are the best.
She understood this, but it was hard for her to comprehend it.

"Then let's try it this time. Ah, Sui Sui, is it meat stew or vegetarian stew?"

"Braised meat. He loves meat." Xu Suiyou answered while chewing a cucumber.

"He'll do it, won't he?"

"I don't know about that, but my mother will teach him." "."Although she knew very early on that the two had been childhood sweethearts for 18 years, Zhang Yan was still shocked when she heard it with her own ears.

"Does everyone in the family know about this?"

Xu Suiyou shook his head gently, hugged his knees and leaned back on the sofa, and replied lazily: "No, only my mother knows about it now."

"Wow, didn't Auntie say anything?"

"It's okay. My mother is eager for me to marry Chen Shen in the future."

Although this was his mother's idea in her previous life, Xu Suiyou guessed that his mother meant almost the same thing in this life.

Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to keep it a secret from their family and even considerately provide her with safety measures?
Thinking of this, Xu Suiyou's face turned red. Even though it had been a while since her mother came over that day, she still couldn't help blushing when she thought of that day.

"After graduating from college?"

"Well, it was Chen Shen's senior year. Didn't he take a leave of absence this year? He will graduate later."

"Fuck, yes, I am his senior now!" Zhang Yan became excited instantly and ran to the kitchen.

But unfortunately, how could Chen Shen cooperate with her and call her senior sister?

The shout of "Get out" made Zhang Yan walk out of the kitchen depressed and sit back on the sofa obediently.

After a while, there was another knock on the door. Xu Suiyou got up to open the door and let Liu Yujie, who had received a call from Chen Shen, in.

Since this was not the first time they had eaten together, they were not strangers to each other.

After they greeted each other with a smile and said "Merry Christmas", Liu Yujie looked at Xu Suiyou and asked, "Where's Lao Chen?"

"The kitchen."

Just as he finished speaking, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Chen Shen brought out the fried leeks and placed them on the table.

Then he glanced at Liu Yujie, and then at Xu Suiyou: "Sui Sui, are there any drinks at home?"

Xu Suiyou was stunned, and quickly stood up and walked to the refrigerator. After looking carefully, he shook his head.

"There are only three bottles left."

"Then Lao Liu, go downstairs to the convenience store in the community and ask for a box of Coke and a box of Sprite. Ask them to deliver them downstairs."

"Ok."

"Do you two want anything to drink?"

Looking at Chen Shen's skillful giving of orders, Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.

Qin Yu on the side reacted quickly: "Fanta!"

"Then get another box of Fanta, and then carry the rest upstairs. Ah, and get a bottle of white wine, just a quick drink."

"Row."

Liu Yujie nodded, put on his coat and went out.

"Sui Sui, give me the pork head and ham in the refrigerator. Do you guys cut them or should I?"

"Of course you cut it." Xu Suiyou stretched out his hand and handed over the plastic bag containing pork head and ham, saying with a smile.

Chen Shen smiled dotingly, reached out to take the plastic bag, and then smiled at the two people on the sofa: "I'll make noodles when the drinks arrive. Wait a little longer."

"it is good."

With a "click", the kitchen door closed again.

Zhang Yan then sighed as if she had just woken up from a dream, with a complicated expression on her face.

They were all classmates, but how come in just a few months, Chen Shen had grown to the point where he seemed a little unfamiliar to her.

Although Chen Shen was also the leader of the class in high school, and was the one who decided where to go and what activities to take place, Chen Shen at that time did not give people the feeling that he was difficult to disobey.

Everyone put forward their own ideas and then asked Chen Shen to summarize.

But now, the crisp and clear command was very different from the Chen Shen she knew before.

"Is he like this when he usually hands over work to you?" Zhang Yan, unable to resist her curiosity, leaned close to Qin Yu and asked in a low voice.

Qin Yu was stunned by the question and subconsciously said "Hmm?"

"Just like before."

"Ah~Is that so? Isn't it always like this?"

Zhang Yan knew that Qin Yu, who was a slow-moving person, might not be able to notice Chen Shen's changes. Fortunately, there was a very reliable person here.

She looked at Xu Suiyou who was standing beside her.

Without even having to repeat the question, Xu Suiyou directly gave her the answer she wanted.

"A studio with two people is still a studio, and the boss is naturally still the boss."

Zhang Yan suddenly realized that the word "boss" summed it up very well and answered all her confusions at once.

The boss is naturally the one who gives orders.

It doesn’t seem strange when you think about it this way.

"Damn, we graduated in the same year, and he became a boss so early. I can't imagine how cocky he will be at future class reunions."

Hearing this, Qin Yu chuckled.

And Xu Suiyou couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"It's okay. If he dares to show off, you can kill him. He just wants to save face anyway."

"Yeah. Hmm? Does this count as turning your elbow outward?"

Xu Suiyou nodded happily, and shouted loudly enough for Chen Shen in the kitchen to hear, "Because I'm also annoyed by the way he shows off!"

The next second, the kitchen door opened, and Chen Shen poked his head out with a speechless face. His eyes fell on Xu Suiyou, who was looking at him with his hands folded across his chest.

"Did I provoke you?"

"whee."

Chen Shen picked up a piece of ham with chopsticks, walked to Xu Suiyou and fed it to the girl.

After feeling the gazes of Zhang Yan and Qin Yu, he pointed towards the kitchen.

"You can take it if you want."
