Living in an apartment: Only children make choices.

Then, Lin Yun turned his head and asked.

"Lili, where did the birthday boy go?"

Zhuge Dali pointed to the room next door and said.

"I'm waiting for you in the room!"

Lin Yun nodded, quickly pushed open the door, and then called out enthusiastically.

Happy birthday, bro!

At this moment, Zhuge Ke was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a chessboard laid out in front of him, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

Upon hearing Lin Yun's voice, Zhuge Ke turned around and greeted him warmly.

"You just arrived! Get on the kang (heated brick bed)!"

Lin Yun paused for a moment before speaking.

"Get on the kang?"

Zhuge Ke tapped the bed on his body and explained with a smile.

"You haven't been here for a while..."

"These tatami mats were specially made for the two of us!"

"It'll be convenient for the two of us to sit up there, play chess, and have some tea!"

Lin Yun said with a smile.

"Brother, you've really thought of everything!"

"Here, this is your birthday present!"

Zhuge Ke frowned as he spoke.

"Brother, you're being too polite with me!"

"I still haven't finished the saffron you gave me the year before last!"

"Why did you give me a gift again this time!"

Zhuge Dali immediately spoke up.

“When I spoke with Lin Yun, I already conveyed your opinion to him, Grandpa.”

"So if we're going to assign blame, I think we should talk to my mother."

Lin Yun didn't stand on ceremony and took off his slippers to sit on the tatami mat.

"Dude, my senior also told me not to bring any gifts!"

"But we're like brothers, aren't we!"

"Come on, see what good stuff I found for you!"

Zhuge Ke took the box and couldn't help but sigh.

"Just by looking at the box, you can tell it's a good product!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Ke slowly opened the box...

A few seconds later, Zhuge Dali noticed that her grandfather hadn't said anything, so she curiously went over to take a look.

Upon seeing the tea set inside the box, Zhuge Dali couldn't help but comment.

"This white porcelain is beautifully shaped, well-proportioned, made of fine materials, and elegant in style..."

Zhuge Ke raised his head and asked.

"Brother, this tea set is from the Ming Dynasty, isn't it?"

Lin Yun nodded and said.

"It should be that a friend took it back."

"But don't worry, the item is old, but no one has ever used it!"

Both Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Dali were people who had some knowledge of porcelain.

For example, Zhuge Dali can tell that this style is a white porcelain tea set from the Ming Dynasty, but in reality, she can't tell if it's genuine or fake.

However, given Lin Yun's status, he couldn't possibly send a fake gift, especially since he already claimed it was genuine. Why would he lie to people for no reason?

Zhuge Ke took out a teacup and held it in his hand, fiddling with it with it as if he couldn't put it down.

"Brother, this set of antiques must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said.

"Gifts are about the thought behind them, not the price."

"Besides, if we give you this tea set, in the end, it's still the two of us old brothers who will use it to drink tea!"

Zhuge Ke said happily.

"Correct!"

"I usually just leave this tea set out; I only take it out to use when you come!"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said.

That's not what I meant...

Zhuge Ke spoke up.

"It's settled!"

"Lili, go get this tea set, brew a pot of tea, and bring it over."

"Brother, the food will take a while, how about one plate first?"

Lin Yun stood up and said.

"I'll make the tea, so Lili doesn't get burned..."

Zhuge Ke raised his hand to interrupt.

"fine!"

"You still treat Lili like a child!"

“In my time, girls Lili’s age were already working in the fields, getting engaged, or getting married.”

Zhuge Dali turned his head and said.

"Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old!"

Lin Yun shrugged and said.

"Fine……"

"Come on, bro, let's play a round."

The two then played chess while drinking tea.

As for Zhuge Dali, she stood to the side playing an extremely important role.

That's the service department! They're responsible for helping to serve tea and water, and handing out fruits and vegetables like melons, pears, and peaches.

Through Lin Yun's careful planning, Mr. Zhuge Ke finally achieved a victory.

·· ·······Requesting flowers···· ····

Zhuge Ke said smugly.

"Brother, it's been a while! Your chess skills have improved quite a bit!"

Lin Yun also began to flatter.

"Oh, not at all, it's you who have improved so quickly, brother..."

Just then, a loud voice rang out from outside the door.

"Dinner's ready!!"

Zhuge Dali spoke up.

"Let's go, Grandma's calling us for dinner."

Zhuge Ke said, still feeling unsatisfied.

"We haven't finished playing the game yet!"

Lin Yun said with a smile.

"Let's eat first. We can play chess anytime."

"If you don't eat on time, something bad will happen!"

Zhuge Ke waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry, it's my birthday today!"

"I'm the boss at home!"

Despite saying that, Zhuge Ke still put on his shoes and obediently went to the living room to prepare for dinner.

When Lin Yun arrived in the living room, he discovered that they weren't having stir-fried dishes today, but rather roasted meat.

There were two circles of various dishes on the table; not many, but the variety was quite rich.

Zhuge Ke said, holding a bottle of baijiu.

"Brother, let's have a good drink together today."

"Come and take a look, what do you think of this wine?"

"A donkey that's been suffocating for ten years!"

Lin Yun said with a smile.

"That's quite a strong drink, isn't it?"

Zhuge Dasheng took off his apron and said with a smile.
