Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

When Chen Chen's eyes fell on the person sitting on the sofa, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and blurted out in surprise: "It's you!"

When Lin Muxi heard Chen Chen's sudden voice, she couldn't help but turn around, her eyes full of surprise. She looked at Chen Chen with a hint of doubt in her tone:
"Senior, have you met my dad?"

Chen Chen nodded slightly, and then explained briefly:

"Do you remember during the Chinese New Year, there was a basketball game held in our village?

After the game, the winning team had the opportunity to have dinner with the mysterious boss behind the game.

No wonder he felt that Mr. Lin looked familiar, but he didn't think about it too much at the time.

Now look carefully.

The eyebrows of the father and daughter are almost identical.

Lin Muxi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized:

"So, the man you met was my dad?"

Chen Chen smiled and nodded, confirming her guess.

Lin Muxi couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a small world. I didn't expect you guys had already seen it."

As she spoke, she took Chen Chen's hand and walked to the sofa.

"Dad, this is my boyfriend, Chen Chen. You've already met him in advance."

Father Lin stood up with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Chen, "Xiao Chen, we meet again."

Chen Chen shook hands back stiffly, "Hello, Uncle Lin."

Lin Haotian looked in the direction Chen Chen pointed, his eyes fell on the bags of gifts he was carrying, and asked:
"Are these...the gifts you brought?"

Chen Chen retracted his hand, put the gift down, and with a polite smile on his face, he quickly responded:
"Oh, yes, Uncle Lin. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you like it."

Lin Haotian smiled slightly, took the gift handed over by Chen Chen, and reached out to open the package.

In an instant, an exquisite paperweight appeared before everyone.

The paperweight is made of high-quality sandalwood, which has a warm texture and emits a soft and charming luster, as if telling the story of time.

The "Lanting Elegant Gathering" carved on the paperweight is delicate and lifelike, as if recreating the grand scene of that eternal elegant gathering before our eyes.

The poem engraved on the paperweight, "A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, who is afraid? A raincoat will protect me from the wind and rain for the rest of my life," is engraved with strength and power, and every stroke is full of charm.

The moment Lin Haotian saw the paperweight, his eyes lit up with surprise and he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"'A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, so who is afraid? A raincoat will protect me from the wind and rain for the rest of my life.' How wonderful!

This poem is really well chosen. How did you know that these two lines are my favorites?

Chen Chen blushed slightly, smiled a little embarrassedly, subconsciously glanced at Lin Muxi beside him, and said with a hint of embarrassment:
"Xiaoxi told me that you, uncle, particularly like these two lines of poetry, so I chose them."

Lin Haotian laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed in the spacious living room.

"Haha, this girl really understands me. Xiao Chen, I can see that you put your heart into it."

As he spoke, he gently stroked the paperweight, his eyes full of fondness.

"The craftsmanship of this paperweight is truly exceptional. The carving of the Lanting Gathering is exquisite, and the calligraphy perfectly aligns with my usual style. It seems you understand my preferences beyond just these two lines of poetry."

Lin Haotian raised his head and looked at Chen Chen with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Chen Chen hurriedly said:

"Uncle, you're too kind. I also thought that since this is my first visit, I have to prepare something that will please you."

Lin Muxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dad, you see how nervous the senior is. He did a lot of research to choose this gift." Lin Haotian nodded.

"Well, just be attentive. Xiao Chen, since you're here today, don't be restrained and treat yourself as if you're at home. I usually like chatting with young people, so it's a good opportunity for us to have a good chat."

Chen Chen quickly responded:

"Okay, uncle, I'm honored to have the opportunity to communicate with you."

Lin Muxi stood beside Lin Haotian, watching the two of them getting along so happily, and her heart finally relaxed.

"Wow wow~"

Suddenly, a clear and loud baby cry came from upstairs, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

A very fashionable woman came down from upstairs holding a baby, looking a little embarrassed. She hurriedly explained:
"I'm so sorry, Lao Lin, I didn't come out on purpose.

The main thing is that Mu Yu is not used to staying at home for a long time. He always clamors to go out at this time. That’s why I…”

As he spoke, he did not forget to secretly glance at Lin Muxi.

It seemed as if he was trying to confirm whether she was angry or not.

Lin Haotian frowned slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, he looked at Lin Muxi in a somewhat flattering manner, and said cautiously:

"Xiaoxi, this is your Aunt Xiwen. If you... have any thoughts in your mind and don't want to see her..."

Lin Muxi looked calm, turned around gently, picked up the other gifts on the table one by one, handed them forward, and said in a calm tone:

"These are gifts that Senior bought specially for...her."

As he spoke, Lin Muxi's gaze slowly fell on the baby in Guo Xiwen's arms.

Seeing this, Guo Xiwen was immediately flattered, her eyes full of surprise and gratitude.

Aunt Wang, who was standing by, was very smart and immediately understood what she meant. She quickly reached out and took the baby in her arms.

Now, Guo Xiwen finally had her hands free. She hurriedly took the gift from Lin Muxi, smiling, and said:
"This little bear rattle is so cute. I'd like to thank my brother-in-law on Mu Yu's behalf."

Chen Chen smiled and added, “Xiaoxi carefully selected this pink bunny doll, thinking that my sister would like it.

And this wooden educational building block, she can play with it when she grows up."

Guo Xiwen quickly nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Miss."

Lin Muxi looked calm and said calmly, "No need to thank me, I didn't buy it for you."

When Guo Xiwen heard Lin Muxi's words, her smile froze slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, still maintaining a decent smile and said:

"Miss is right. Mu Yu is so lucky to receive such a good gift."

Lin Haotian tried to smooth things over awkwardly:
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop standing. Xiaoxi, Xiaochen, sit down and rest for a while." As he said that, he pointed to the sofa.

Chen Chen and Lin Muxi sat down as instructed.

"You sit down too." Lin Haotian looked at Guo Xiwen.

Guo Xiwen felt somewhat uncomfortable, after all, the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

He secretly observed the expressions of the crowd, trying to ease the slightly awkward situation, and said to Lin Haotian with a smile:
"Lao Lin, it's rare for the young lady to bring her boyfriend home. I'm going to see if there's anything else I can help with in the kitchen. I can't neglect him."

When Lin Haotian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "You go."

"it is good."

Guo Xiwen nodded to Chen Chen and Lin Muxi simultaneously, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen. (End of this chapter)
