"I'll go turn the air conditioning down a bit."
Chu Zihang got up, found the air conditioner remote, adjusted it, and then saw that Su Xiaoyan had already come out of the bathroom.
"Mom, why did you change your clothes? Weren't you wearing a cheongsam?"
Su Xiaoyan adjusted her short dress: "That one is too tight. It's more comfortable to wear this at home!"
The three of them quickly gathered at the dining table, Su Xiaoyan opened a bottle of red wine, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank together.
Chu Zihang's cooking skills are truly impressive; it's hard to imagine that someone like him is also such a skilled cook.
Moreover, Chu Zihang was quite polite: "President, these are just simple dishes. Please forgive us if the hospitality is not up to par."
Before Lin Chen could answer, Su Xiaoyan blurted out, "It tastes amazing! It's just what your mom likes!"
Lin Chen smiled in agreement: "It is indeed delicious."
Chu Zihang was finally relieved.
Having watched Lin Chen and Su Xiaoyan chat for a while, Chu Zihang has finally found something to talk about.
He is not a good talker and doesn't usually like to talk too much.
But the two people present today are different: one is Lin Chen, a senior who is like a teacher to him, and the other is his own mother.
Chu Zihang would say a few more words for no apparent reason.
"Mom, Lin Chen said you just ate sausage?"
A hint of panic flashed in Su Xiaoyan's eyes. She looked at Lin Chen, only to find that Lin Chen was also looking at her with a smile.
“Ah…yes,” Su Xiaoyan said, “Lin Chen brought it from home; he made it himself.”
Lin Chen then asked, "Is the food to your liking?"
"It was delicious! I ate it all!"
Chu Zihang looked a little disappointed and lowered his head to continue eating.
Lin Chen picked up his chopsticks again, but felt Su Xiaoyan kick him under the table.
Lin Chen was not to be outdone and kicked back.
However, the force of the impact quickly diminished; it might be more accurate to describe it as a rubbing.
Before she had even finished eating, Su Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and left the table, saying, "I'm done eating. Son, you'll have to do the dishes later!"
"It's alright, you guys rest, I'll take care of these!"
Lin Chen also put down his chopsticks: "Lunch was very good, I'm full!"
Su Xiaoyan took Lin Chen's hand and said, "Son, I'm leaving this place to you! I'll take little brother Lin Chen upstairs for a tour!"
"Alright, you guys go ahead!" Chu Zihang got up and started tidying up the table.
Su Xiaoyan winked at Lin Chen and led him upstairs.
This didn't take long; washing dishes doesn't take much time.
When Chu Zihang went upstairs, he heard noises coming from Su Xiaoyan's room.
"Mom... are you alright?" Chu Zihang asked through the door. "You look injured."
"Ah—it's nothing, I'm perfectly fine!" Su Xiaoyan replied from inside. "My little brother Lin Chen is giving me a bone-setting massage; he's quite knowledgeable about this."
Chu Zihang nodded. Kassel College has courses related to skeletal science, and it's not surprising that Lin Chen, being knowledgeable, knows something about it.
So Chu Zihang said, "That's perfect. Your usual posture isn't very good. Chiropractic is good for your health."
"Yes—it feels strange..."
"There will be some, but after a whole course, your body will feel very relaxed," Chu Zihang said. "Just think of it as going to a beauty salon with a few aunties and relax."
"Okay... I feel very relaxed now. Brother Lin Chen's technique is excellent... I'm completely relaxed now, both physically and mentally!"
"Mom, if you like, I can learn it sometime and help you with your bone setting when I have free time..."
Inside the room, Su Xiaoyan quickly said, "Hey, no... no need, Lin Chen can do it for me."
"So what? Isn't it more convenient for me?"
"No...it's not suitable, it's just not suitable, absolutely not."
Chu Zihang didn't understand, but he nodded nonetheless: "Alright then, enjoy yourself, and don't forget to drink your milk before bed!"
"Don't worry, Lin Chen has prepared it for me. Go on... It's getting late, go to sleep."
Chu Zihang returned to the house, and Su Xiaoyan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Look at you, you had to make such a fuss," Su Xiaoyan said irritably. "You almost got caught by Zihang, didn't you?"
Lin Chen pulled on Su Xiaoyan's hair: "Sister Su is so smart! But speaking of which, I also know a little about massage and bone setting. I can try it on you later!"
Su Xiaoyan chuckled to herself: "Could we combine our efforts?"
"Your idea is quite mischievous..."
……
After tossing and turning in Su Xiaoyan's bedroom for half the night, Su Xiaoyan was exhausted and didn't even think to prepare a guest room for Lin Chen.
When it was fully light, Chu Zihang got up.
He came out of the room and saw Lin Chen also push open the door to the master bedroom.
Chu Zihang blinked, his eyes filled with shock.
Lin Chen's expression was quite calm, and his clothes were neatly dressed: "Good morning, Chu Zihang."
"President..." Chu Zihang 5.0's usually expressionless face showed a rare look of surprise, "Why did you come out of my mother's room?"
Lin Chen made up a random excuse: "I left my things here last night, and I just came to get them."
"Oh, oh." Chu Zihang nodded with some doubt, and after a while, he saw Su Xiaoyan appear at the door of the room in her pajamas.
"Good morning, son!" Su Xiaoyan seemed to be in a good mood.
Chu Zihang's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty: "Good morning."
Lin Chen went down the stairs, and Chu Zihang watched him go.
Su Xiaoyan tidied her messy hair and turned around, intending to take another beauty nap.
But Chu Zihang suddenly called out to her, "Mom—"
"What's wrong, son?" Su Xiaoyan turned around.
"Um..." Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, "Does this mean I'm going to have a new stepfather?"
167: Natsumi, a pure and innocent high school girl! The beautiful head of the preparatory class!
Su Xiaoyan almost choked on her own saliva: "What are you talking about!"
Chu Zihang also felt that what he said might not have been quite appropriate.
"I just said it offhand," Chu Zihang said. "It just looks a lot like it!"
"You brat, you dare joke about your mother, huh!"
"That's not what I meant," Chu Zihang quickly said.
"Don't overthink it. Lin Chen is my good younger brother, you understand?"
Chu Zihang nodded.
"I'm going to get my beauty sleep." Su Xiaoyan turned and went into the bedroom.
When Chu Zihang came downstairs, Lin Chen was already standing in the living room.
"Senior, are you... leaving?" Chu Zihang asked.
Lin Chen slung his bag over his shoulder: "The academy has a mission, I need to hurry over there now."
"You left so suddenly, should I go and wake my mom up?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Let her sleep a little longer!"
Lin Chen walked up to Chu Zihang and gently patted his shoulder: "I'm so glad you've improved so quickly. From that timid little brat like Lu Mingfei, you've become the capable Chu Zihang you are today. Take good care of your mother; she's the person who cares about you the most in the world!"
"I will!" Chu Zihang nodded subconsciously.
Lin Chen walked out of the villa and drove away from Chu Zihang's yard.
As per Angers' mission requirements, Lin Chen needed to go to the North City.
Kassel College has many locations in China, but most of them are offices of the Chinese branch of the Executive Department.
There are far fewer preparatory classes, only three or four in the entire country, with the largest one located in the northern part of the city.
Since this place is quite far from Beicheng, Lin Chen chose to travel there by plane.
The plane taxied in the air for several hours before finally landing at the airport in the north of the city.
This is Lin Chen's first time in Beicheng since his transmigration.
Even before the plane landed, Lin Chen observed the scenery of Beicheng from the window.
