I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

knock knock!

The car stopped in front of Cheng Sheng's house. After getting out of the car, Cheng Sheng knocked on the door.

Because I had called my parents before I came back, they didn't go to sleep.

"Son, you're back."

When Cheng's father opened the door and saw Cheng Sheng standing there, he exclaimed in surprise.

"dad."

Cheng Sheng exclaimed happily.

I've been away from home for so long and haven't seen my parents in ages.

Although we can video chat, it's never as good as being together face-to-face.

"Son, didn't you say you were bringing your girlfriend home? Where is she? I don't see her."

At this moment, Cheng Sheng's mother came out, looked around, and saw that Cheng Sheng was alone. She looked a little unhappy.

“She’s tired and sleeping in the car!” Cheng Sheng said.

"How can they sleep in the car? Hurry up and let them come inside and sleep on the bed. It's freezing cold. We've already made your bed for you," Cheng's mother said immediately.

"Okay, I'll go wake her up."

Cheng Sheng agreed and then opened the back door, where he saw Zeng Li sleeping soundly.

"Sister Li, wake up, we're home," Cheng Sheng whispered, then gently pinched her earlobe.

Zeng Li's earlobe is another sensitive spot. Even if she is sleeping soundly, she will wake up immediately if it is touched even slightly.

"oops."

As expected, Zeng Li opened her eyes instantly.

Upon seeing that it was Cheng Sheng, she said coquettishly, "What are you doing!"

"Got home."

"arrive?"

Zeng Li was startled and quickly looked out of the car.

When Zeng Li saw Cheng Sheng's parents standing outside the car, she panicked.

With one hand she pulled out a mirror, and with the other she straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, saying anxiously, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"

Seeing Zeng Li like this, Cheng Sheng suddenly remembered a proverb: "Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually."

However, Zeng Li is not ugly; in fact, she is very beautiful.

"so beautiful."

Upon seeing Zeng Li, Cheng's mother immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"You rascal, you've found such a beautiful wife, why didn't you bring her back to us to see sooner?" Mr. Cheng said with a smile.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Zeng Li."

After finishing tidying up, Zeng Li got out of the car and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Cheng warmly.

“Zeng Li, I know you. I’ve even seen the movie ‘Ten Red Army Soldiers’ that you starred in! I never thought my rascal would be so lucky to find you as his girlfriend. He’s truly blessed.”

Upon hearing Zeng Li's words, Cheng's father immediately recognized her.

"Don't stand outside, it's cold. Come inside and let's talk."

Cheng's mother warmly took Zeng Li's hand and said.

"Let me get my things first."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, he took two large boxes out of the car.

The four entered the house, and Cheng's mother held Zeng Li's hand tightly the whole time.

Zeng Li was clearly meeting her parents for the first time and was a little reserved.

You are even prettier than on TV.

“My son has such good taste, to have met such a capable girl like you.”

"Have you eaten dinner yet? If not, I'll make you some noodles."

Cheng's mother said some heartwarming words to Zeng Li.

Zeng Li's answer was also very appropriate.

"Auntie, you flatter me."

"No need for noodles, Cheng Sheng and I ate on the way."

"..."

Listening to his mother and Zeng Li chatting happily, Cheng Sheng went into his bedroom and took out his luggage and gifts from his suitcase.

After putting away the clothes and daily necessities, Cheng Sheng came out with the gifts. "Mom and Dad, these are gifts that Sister Li bought for you. See if you like them."

Cheng Sheng placed the gift box on the table and said.

Zeng Li pulled Cheng's mother over, opened the gift box, and took out a jade green bracelet, saying, "Auntie, this is something I bought especially for you. Try it on and see if it fits."

As she spoke, Zeng Li personally put the bracelet on Cheng's mother's wrist.

He then took out another gift box, opened it, took out a watch from the box, and handed it to Mr. Cheng, saying, "Uncle, this is an Ariston watch I bought for you. See if you like it."

"I love it so much, it fits perfectly."

Mr. Cheng put on his watch and said happily.

Cheng's mother was also very happy, looking at the bracelet with her eyes as if it were a rare treasure.

Seeing how happy Cheng's parents were, Zeng Li was also very happy and affectionately took Cheng Sheng's arm.

The four of them didn't talk much after that, since it was quite late.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng happily returned to their house with the gifts, and Cheng Sheng also took Zeng Li back to their bedroom to rest.

One night passed.

When Cheng Sheng woke up, he touched the side with his hand.

empty.

It seems Zeng Li has gotten up.

Cheng Sheng glanced at the clock on the bedside table.

It's already nine o'clock.

Looks like you were really tired from driving yesterday.

You should know that when he was in Kyoto, no matter how tired he was, he would wake up around eight o'clock.

After getting up and washing up, Cheng Sheng went to the living room, where his mother took out old photos and told him about embarrassing or cute moments from her childhood.

“Ah Sheng was very naughty when he was little. Once…”

Cheng Sheng was incredibly embarrassed as his mother recounted his childhood stories.

Is it necessary to mention bedwetting at an eight-year-old?
Is it necessary to mention that I was forced to kneel by my grandfather when I was nine years old?

Is it really necessary to describe in such detail that I was punished by my teacher to stay at school at the age of ten and cried from hunger?
Is it necessary to mention that he fell into a pond while riding his bicycle for the first time when he was twelve?
Cheng Sheng was completely numb.

If he continued talking like this, he would have no secrets left from Zeng Li.

"Mom, what's for breakfast?"

Cheng Sheng quickly walked over and interjected.

Zeng Li winked at Cheng Sheng, a strange smile creeping onto her lips.

"I left some for you. Wait a minute, I'll go heat it up for you."

After finishing her sentence, Cheng's mother stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

“Cheng Sheng, I never imagined you were like this when you were little,” Zeng Li said with a smile.

Cheng Sheng put one hand on Zeng Li's shoulder and the other on his forehead, saying, "Since you know so many of my secrets, I have to kill you to silence you."

After saying that, Cheng Sheng revealed a vicious expression.

Zeng Li rolled her eyes and said, "If you're so capable, then come on. Be careful, or I'll tell Auntie you're bullying me."

"When did you become so close to my mom?" Cheng Sheng asked in surprise.

"While you were still sleeping," Zeng Li said smugly.

Thanks to her social skills honed in the entertainment industry, Zeng Li easily built a close relationship with Cheng's mother.

"Son, dinner's ready."

At this moment, Cheng's mother came out carrying a bowl of porridge.

"I'll deal with you tonight," Cheng Sheng said fiercely.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

While eating, Cheng Sheng asked his mother.

Cheng's mother was talking to Zeng Li when she turned around and replied, "I went to find your second uncle to sell free-range chickens."

"Free-range chicken, that's good, I want to eat free-range chicken stewed with mushrooms," Cheng Sheng said happily.

Cheng's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Don't even think about it. This is something I prepared especially for Lizi."

"Ah! Mom, you've got a wife and you don't want your son anymore," Cheng Sheng said with a sad expression.

Cheng's mother ignored Cheng Sheng and instead started chatting with Zeng Li about everyday matters. (End of Chapter)
