Inside the car!

"You're still laughing?" Di Yun asked in shock. "Then what are you going to do with all that food you cooked?"

Chen Wan'er rested her chin on her hand and chuckled, "Now that no shops are open, are you expecting Shi'er to take the girl out for instant noodles?"

"Drive home, pack half of it to give to Shi'er."

Di Yun felt his wife was being bullied and snorted, "No way, let Chen Shi come and eat!"

"How can you do this?"

Chen Wan'er shook her head and said, "You didn't tell him beforehand."

Di Yun scoffed, "Does this need to be brought forward?"

"If he doesn't come to my house to eat, where else can he eat?"

Chen Wan'er turned her head and said gently, "Before we came along, didn't Shi'er live his life the same way?"

"Besides, that girl isn't an orphan, is she?"

Di Yun asked in surprise, "Why are you asking this?"

Chen Wan'er blinked and said, "If she's not an orphan, then she must have family members. She doesn't care about her family and runs off to have New Year's Eve dinner with a boy. I didn't have that kind of courage back then."

"What could possibly make that girl dare to do something that could be considered utterly outrageous?"

Upon hearing this, Di Yun fell silent.

He was an instructor, and he saw Zhang Xuexin staring longingly at Chen Shi every day.

In the past six months, Chen Shi's reputation has soared. Girls who delivered water to him have come and gone, and Huang Liangjun has had two girlfriends, but Zhang Xuexin…

It seems that Xiao Zhang had planned this all along.

"All right."

Di Yun stepped on the gas and went home to pack food.

On the other side, Chen Shi and Zhang Xuexin walked side by side on their way home.

Zhang Xuexin suddenly asked, "So, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

What to eat?

Chen Shi was stumped by the question. After stammering for a while, he finally said, "I should eat canned food."

"It looks like there are two packs of instant noodles in the cabinet. I'll go check them out later."

"Um, is it really okay to eat instant noodles during Chinese New Year?"

This is a very strange question.

Because in the minds of most normal people, this is a definite statement: eating instant noodles during the Chinese New Year is wrong.

But Chen Shi insisted on asking the question.

Zhang Xuexin asked curiously, "You used to eat instant noodles every year during Chinese New Year?"

Chen Shi nodded: "Sometimes I'll buy some meals in advance that I can just heat up and eat."

Zhang Xuexin nodded and said, "What's wrong with eating instant noodles during the Chinese New Year?"

"Huh?" Chen Shi was taken aback and said, "You should all be having New Year's Eve dinner, right? Eating instant noodles probably isn't appropriate."

Zhang Xuexin laughed and said, "I meant that General Chen eats instant noodles during the New Year, so instant noodles must be good!"

Chen Shi didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Xuexin's words and kept babbling, "What General Chen? I'm not! Who said that?"

Looking at Chen Shi's extremely shy expression, Zhang Xuexin silently understood what was going on.

General Chen is currently a title that can only be discussed in private. If it were mentioned outside, Chen Shi would feel extremely ashamed.

In the end, it was decided that Chen Shi would eat canned meat and Zhang Xuexin would eat instant noodles; that would be their New Year's Eve dinner.

The boy and girl walked side by side in the snow under the night sky, leaving a long trail of footprints that stretched from the school all the way to the gate of the Chen family's house. Before they knew it, their hair had turned completely white under the snow.

His home was in a cozy old neighborhood, with lanterns and decorations hanging on the trees around it. Many children were setting off firecrackers and blowing snow in the neighborhood. In this martial arts era, small firecrackers could not possibly bring any disaster.

Just then, a child suddenly burst out with a ball of snow, which flew towards Zhang Xuexin.

The girl instinctively covered her cheek and cried out. The boy then slapped his palm in the direction from which the snow had come, scattering all the snow. The children were stunned, their faces filled with admiration.

Next, Chen Shi used a key to open the iron gate on the first floor. There was only a staircase, no elevator, and the corridor lights were voice-activated, making a sound when you stepped on them.

Chen Shi suddenly turned his head and said to Zhang Xuexin, "Look at that handrail."

"When I was a child, I would sit on the armrest and slide down."

"Until one day I got a bit of phlegm stuck to my butt."

Zhang Xuexin covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking to herself how adorable Chen Shi was.

Chen Shijia lives in No. 502, on the fifth floor. This old building has six floors. He said that when he was a child, he had to jump up three or four steps at a time to climb the stairs. His highest record was five floors, and he even fell down once!

Zhang Xuexin said she had tried it when she was a child.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Chen Shi opened the door to his house.

"Crunch."

The door was pushed open.

The room's decor surprised Zhang Xuexin greatly.

The living room wasn't big, but it was very cozy. On the clean patterned carpet was a wooden coffee table, and next to it, in the cabinet, were many toys that Chen Shi had played with when he was a child. In the middle was a large television, covered with a cloth.

The kitchen is on the left, and the two bedrooms are on the right.

"That's where my parents live. I haven't been inside much. That's where I live."

Zhang Xuexin nodded repeatedly, and then began to take off her shoes.

She forcefully pulled off her snow boots, revealing her bare feet, which were clad in black stockings, instantly catching Chen Shi's eye.

"You're still wearing stockings?"

Chen Shi was shocked.

Zhang Xuexin shook her head and said, "These aren't stockings, they're pantyhose."

"The stockings are the very thin kind; these are for keeping warm."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "Isn't this just a thicker, darker pair of stockings? It's making my heart itch."

After he turned on the heater, the whole house began to warm up. Then he went to his room and said, "You can just throw your clothes on the sofa. I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay," Zhang Xuexin replied, then started taking off her coat, exclaiming, "It's so hot!"

After taking off her coats one by one, Zhang Xuexin was wearing her practice clothes. However, because she had been exercising during the day, her practice clothes were covered in sweat and exuded femininity.

After Chen Shi came out with brand-new pajamas, he turned around and asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"

Zhang Xuexin laughed awkwardly, "I want to take a shower, but I don't have any clothes to change into."

"Just go to the balcony, it's right past my room. There's a washer-dryer combo there. See if you have any suitable clothes to wear, then just put your practice clothes in there. It'll be done in an hour."

Nowadays, everyone uses washer-dryer combos, so there's no need to air-dry clothes at all; it's extremely convenient.

After Zhang Xuexin hummed in agreement, she stepped into Chen Shi's bedroom in his slippers. Upon seeing the room, she immediately raised an eyebrow. The room was small, but warm. There wasn't a single book on the desk, only a computer and some toys.

A skateboard sits in the corner, a yo-yo sits on the table, and the small bookshelf is filled with comics—not a single serious book.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuexin's eyes narrowed as she saw a strange book title—"My Cute Girlfriend".

Is Chen Shi looking at this?

Curious, she took it out and flipped through a couple of pages. Her cheeks flushed instantly. She thought to herself, "Does Chen Shi secretly read such risqué stuff?!"

She quickly put it back, and when she looked back, she could already hear the sound of a shower coming from the bathroom.

"Phew, nothing found."

After taking a deep breath, she reached the balcony, opened the cabinet under the washer-dryer, and rummaged through many long-sleeved shirts and trousers one by one. She quickly found the right ones: a pair of black shorts and a black short-sleeved shirt.

She's a little taller than Chen Shi now, so her clothes don't fit her, but her underwear is always sweaty. Since she has no change, she has no choice but to wear them anyway.
