As if worried that this wasn't enough, she took out another small bag of candy.

Their thorough preparations and the immense power of their special attack on children made Chen Xiao's eyes sharpen.

I, the future sister-in-law, haven't even said anything yet, how come you're so well-prepared? Are you trying to steal her away?!

"Oh!! Thank you, Saki-neechan!!"

Chie was immediately bribed and left, sweetly thanking them while hugging the chocolates and candies.

That soft, adorable smile melted Saki's heart instantly, and she even subconsciously ignored Old Chen's fierce gaze.

Children are definitely the most therapeutic!

"that......"

"Oh right, Chie, your sister Chen Xiao is visiting today and specially ordered a delicious fruit cake for you. It should arrive soon, so you should thank her properly."

"Hmm? Oh—yes, I ordered a cake."

"Hey, Sister Chen Xiao is the best!"

As Chie rushed towards him with a smile, Chen Xiao rubbed her head and looked at Lin Qiu with a slightly apologetic gaze.

I was so focused on how to talk to him that I didn't notice these things, and I feel a little embarrassed...

However, Lin Qiu, who saw through her thoughts, smiled, sat back down, and greeted Qian Hui—

"Alright, Chie, your sister Chen Xiao still has to tutor me, don't trouble her. You can go play games with your sister Sakikuma."

"Oh! Sakuma-nee, come with me!"

Chie nodded in understanding, released her grip on Chen Xiao's arm, and cheerfully pulled Wu Saki out of the room.

Once only Lin Qiu and Chen Xiao remained in the room, Chen Xiao muttered something under his breath—

"Sorry."

“We’re like family, there’s no need for such formalities. You’ve said before that this is just like your own home, there’s no need to be so reserved when you’re at home.”

Lin Qiu waved his hand casually, seemingly not caring about the matter at all.

Chen Xiao silently watched this guy's lazy, heartwarming smile, just like when they were kids, and couldn't help but smile back at himself.

"Lin Qiu, I'll cook lunch later. I've learned how to do it properly over the years."

"Sure, but I'm quite picky about food."

"Don't I know your tastes?"

......

Just as the two were getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, Ye Qianhe was silently holding up binoculars at Chen Xiao's former residence next door, his eyes fixed on the two inside.

Beside her, Tang Feilin looked at the parent with a strange expression, unsure of what to say...

206 - If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

"Ahhh—I can't take it anymore, my brain is out of control."

"You only did one question."

"Old Chen, you need to know that there are limits to human capabilities."

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and finish the last little problem before you embarrass all of humanity, otherwise you'll miss the cooking time and Chie might go hungry."

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at the guy, then looked out the window with Pocky in his mouth.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but ever since then I've felt like someone has been watching me.

"What's wrong, Lao Chen? You seem distracted."

"Oh, it's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Chen Xiao said it casually and didn't pay any more attention to the window.

Ye Qianhe, who was peeping from next door, was also extremely nervous and huddled under the windowsill, afraid of being discovered hiding there.

"Why not just go back and check?"

Tang Feilin, who was peeling an orange nearby, asked casually.

Are all parents like this nowadays? It's not like your son is doing anything shameful at home, why are you being so secretive?

"Well—I just wanted to see how my son would behave without any help."

As Ye Qianhe explained, his heart was itching with desire, like a cat scratching at him.

Did I miss any exciting moments while I was out of sight?

Meanwhile, Wu Xiaoxiong, who shared the same sentiment, was also restless as she played games with Chie in the living room.

Despite her best efforts to conceal it, Chie clearly saw her frequent glances upstairs.

"Saki-neechan, aren't you curious?"

"Hmm—hmm? What are you curious about?"

How are Lin Qiu and Chen Xiao getting along?

Chie chuckled, directly seeing through Sakuma's little scheme.

Wu Xiaoxiong gave the little guy, who seemed to know everything, a deep look, and tentatively asked—

"How do you think things are going between your brother Lin Qiu and sister Chen Xiao?"

"Let me think... I guess after Lin Qiu finished his math ordeal, he lazily lay on the table and begged Chen Xiao to let him go."

They really are just kids; this is the only possibility they can come up with.

However, the adult world is far beyond what you children can understand!

But you'll understand these things when you grow up.

"Chie, some things about adults might be a bit complicated, and it's normal that you might not understand them for a while. But when the time comes, you'll understand."

As Wu Xiaoxiong spoke earnestly, she had already imagined Chen Xiao pinning Lin Qiu to the bed and aggressively attacking her.

Chie nodded her little head thoughtfully.

"I understand, Saki-neechan. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."

"Hmm...hmm???"

Wu Xiaoxiong stared blankly at Chie, whose situation had reversed, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

Chie, shouldn't I be the one saying that?!

"Saki-chan, don't worry about it so much. Lin Qiu is the super passive type. He's not that aggressive when he's with girls."

Qianhui calmly explained that, based on her long observation, it was impossible for Lin Qiu to have anything major happen with Chen Xiao at this time.

As for trivial matters? Sister Yunmo has already interacted with me a lot, so I don't care anymore.

I need something even more exciting to get me excited!

Wu Xiaoxiong looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression, gradually realizing that she might have underestimated her.

This little guy is something else!

"So, according to you, nothing will happen between them now?"

"Of course! Even if you were childhood sweethearts, there's always a bit of awkwardness when you meet again after many years."

Chie analyzed the situation with an air of seriousness, as if she held a script in her hand, her expression radiating confidence.

"They will usually chat casually for a while, reminiscing about heartwarming little stories they experienced together in the past. Only after resonating with each other a few times can they return to the friendship they had when they were childhood sweethearts."

"However, now that we're all grown up, we still have some reservations. This is the key point that triggers the plot, and that's when we'll have some little interactions or something."

How do you know so much?

Wu Xiaoxiong stared at Chie in astonishment. This girl was even more professional than herself!

Lin Qiu, are you sure your sister hasn't been possessed? Her level of professionalism is clearly beyond what one would expect for her age!

"Hey-my dad writes novels, you'll understand once you've read enough."

Chie stuck out her little tongue and explained with a smile.

However, Saki patted her little head and earnestly gave her some advice—

"Chie, remember this: for the sake of harmony in your family, never tell your mother about these things, or I'm worried that your father might be in mortal danger."

"Ah chirp!!"

Lin Yichuan, who was far away at the company, suddenly sneezed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Was Chizuru talking about me? It wasn't my turn to wash the dishes today...

"What's wrong, Lao Lin?"

Sitting opposite him, Qin Zheng casually asked a question, while his hands moved extremely fast, drawing a beautiful girl on the digital screen.

While multitasking, the succubus she drew was flawless, with her alluring black stockings and a blush of satisfaction still lingering on her face as if she had just finished enjoying herself...

"Oh, it's nothing. My wife is probably talking about me behind my back."

"Wow, Lao Lin, you're in a pretty high position. Your wife still misses you."

"Hahaha—cough, that's for sure, I'm the head of the family!"

Lin Yichuan's guilty conscience swelled, and his uncertain tone made Qin Zheng recall some unbearable past events.

Perhaps this is the resonance between comrades-in-arms!

As for Ye Qianhe, who was completely unaware of the situation, while he was secretly glancing at Lin Qiu, his gaze kept drifting towards Tang Feilin.

I almost forgot, this white-haired girl is quite fond of him too!

But I don't know where they came from, those people in white coats... doctors or researchers?

I think they're both great!

Lin Qiu, that kid, has had pretty good luck with girls since he started his second year of high school. I was worried that it wouldn't be good for him to stay at home all the time.

But given the current situation, it's time to worry about how many children to have!

As for Tang Feilin, he felt uncomfortable being stared at, but he didn't say anything. He just silently ate an orange and occasionally flipped through some documents.

Meanwhile, Chie continued to analyze Lin Qiu and Chen Xiao's progress for Saki, speaking with such clarity and detail that Saki was completely bewildered.

"So, there won't be any major progress today?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on whether Sister Chen Xiao intends to stay. If she does, and my mom and dad come back in time, that will be a crucial point in the plot!"

"Oh—I feel like I shouldn't be staying here at this time..."

207 - What are you doing behind my back?

"Hello, here's your fruit cake... President? What are you doing here?!"

Xia Chufeng stared blankly at Chen Xiao standing at the door, glancing at the door number next to him with a bewildered expression.

The address I sent it to was correct, so why is it the president who appeared?!

"Ahem—Ah Feng, what are you doing delivering food?"

Chen Xiao asked vaguely, without giving her a direct answer.

"Huh? Oh, Xianyu, Shangyan, and I all have part-time jobs. But let's not talk about that. What are you doing here, President? Are you visiting a friend?"

Xia Chufeng showed no signs of being fooled. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the door behind her, trying to figure something out.

However, Chen Xiao quietly shifted his position, subtly blocking A Feng's view.

Before she could say anything, a shadow suddenly loomed over her—

"Old Chen, has the cake arrived? Why have you been standing at the door for so long?"

"Vice President?!"

Xia Chufeng's gaze froze as she watched Wu Xiaoxiong walk out of the door.

Did you guys have a party somewhere else behind my back?!
