Lu Chen was still sitting on the bench, waiting in the night wind with an empty stomach.
After waiting for twenty minutes, there was still no sign of Zhou Yan and Yu Li, which once again made him realize the difference in the concept of time between men and women.
I have seen many jokes online before, making fun of women for being slow in putting on makeup.
Lu Chen originally thought it was an exaggeration.
I didn’t expect it to be true!
At least twenty minutes is included in the range of “very quickly”!
This doesn't even consider yourself as a person...
Frowning, Lu Chen took out his cell phone and looked at it, wondering whether he should call Zhou Yan to ask.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Xiao Lu?"
Ok?
After a pause, Lu Chen looked back and saw Fu Lanxia standing behind a bench dragging a large suitcase and looking at him with a puzzled look on her face.
"Aunt? Why are you here?"
After a moment of hesitation, he blurted out a very unconventional question.
After all, it is Qin's father and mother who live in the apartment now, so it is reasonable for Fu Lanxia to appear here.
Instead, he was the one who needed a reason.
But even so, Fu Lanxia was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully:
"I just came back from the hospital, and I wanted to bring back some of Xiaoqing's things."
"oh oh."
Lu Chen took a look at the big suitcase and said politely, "Auntie, let me help you."
"No, no, it's not heavy."
Fu Lanxia quickly waved her hand, then asked curiously: "By the way, Xiao Lu, why are you back?"
"Oh, I'm going to have dinner with...a colleague tonight. She happens to live in this neighborhood as well."
Lu Chen responded quickly, but his tone was a little awkward: "She has something to do and needs to go home first. I'll wait for her downstairs."
"Ah, it's so late and you haven't eaten yet."
As Fu Lanxia spoke, she reached into her bag and fumbled around: "I just happened to have some snacks from Xiaoqing, why don't you eat some first?"
"Uh......"
have a look!have a look!
This is my mother-in-law!
As soon as I heard that I hadn’t eaten yet, I immediately found something to fill my stomach!
And what about Zhou Yan and her daughter?
He actually left himself downstairs for twenty minutes!
The difference is obvious!
"Auntie, no need, I'll be there soon..."
He shook his head with deep emotion. If he hadn't explained everything clearly to Yu Li yet, Lu Chen would have wanted to go home with Fu Lanxia for dinner.
Just when he was about to politely decline the latter's kindness, Zhou Yan's voice came from not far away.
"Lu Chen?"
"..."
Gan!
His expression froze, and the moment he saw Zhou Yan and Yu Li, Lu Chen immediately cursed in his heart.
No, why did you two not come down just now? Why did you have to come down now?
Are you trying to trick me on purpose? ! !
"Ahem, Auntie, my colleague is here."
With a dry cough, although he was complaining madly in his heart, Lu Chen still maintained a very calm expression on the surface, trying to avoid any degree of contact between the two sides.
Even though he had a clear conscience, he had to keep this matter a secret from Qingbao after all.
What's more, now I'm caught by my future mother-in-law...
Lu Chen felt a little nervous as he quietly observed Fu Lanxia's expression.
Fortunately, the former did not seem to have any doubts about Li and Zhou Yan's identities. He just glanced at the two of them and then quickly nodded.
"Then go quickly and don't keep your colleagues waiting."
"Okay...By the way, Auntie, I'll drive to pick Wanqing up from the hospital tomorrow morning, so you don't have to call a taxi."
"Huh? Driving?"
"Well, I borrowed a car from a colleague, thinking it would be more convenient."
"Oh, this is too much trouble for you."
"It's okay, Auntie. I'll go over first. You should go back soon too."
"it is good."
With a kind smile, Fu Lanxia pulled her suitcase and walked towards the entrance of the apartment.
Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to Zhou Yan and her daughter.
"Lu Chen, that auntie is..."
"It's Wanqing's mother."
"oh oh."
After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Yan nodded calmly. Her reaction was somewhat beyond Lu Chen's expectations.
At the same time, Yu Li apologized with a guilty tone:
"Xiao Lu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"Ah, it's okay."
Seeing Yu Li's sincere apology, Lu Chen's dissatisfaction instantly dissipated, and he even took the initiative to ask:
"Auntie, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"I'm fine with that. Let's just eat whatever we want."
"How about going to Chunfeng Road?"
Lu Chen turned to look at Zhou Yan and suggested, "There are a lot of restaurants over there, we can decide when the time comes."
Zhou Yan had no objection: "Okay."
"Then I'll go drive."
"No need. It's hard to park over there. I'll just take a taxi."
"also."
"..."
After a brief exchange of words, the three of them walked out of the community together.
Although he didn't know why, Lu Chen always felt that the atmosphere seemed a little different than when he first met Yu Li.
Zhou Yan's demeanor and tone of voice were much more relaxed.
But Yu Li is just the opposite, it seems less natural.
So what were the two of them doing upstairs just now?
......
Half an hour later, at a hot pot restaurant on Chunfeng Road.
As a well-known old store in Yanjiang, there is usually a long queue at this store.
But maybe it was because it was a little late today, so there was a seat available when Lu Chen and the other two arrived.
"I want another portion of Enoki mushrooms."
"Okay, that's about it for now."
"As for drinks..."
At a table by the window, Lu Chen held the menu and looked at Yu Li and Zhou Yan.
Seeing that both of them shook their heads, he said to the waiter:
"Just drink tea."
"okay."
The waiter nodded, put away the menu, and went to the kitchen to place the order.
While Lu Chen was unpacking the tableware, he introduced:
"Auntie, this restaurant is very famous in Yanjiang, and the tripe is especially delicious."
"Usually we have to wait in a long line, but I didn't expect we would be so lucky today."
"It is said that their soup base recipe is inherited from their ancestors..."
As we all know, while waiting for the food to be served, everyone should fill the time by chatting.
This is like the person sitting in the passenger seat having to chat with the driver, or having to like a video that is borderline offensive. These are all tacit obligations in today's society.
But Lu Chen kept talking for a long time, but Yu Li and Zhou Yan didn't react at all. They just nodded occasionally but didn't respond.
In this way, the "chat" naturally cannot continue.
Then the scene fell into awkwardness.
