Liu Chen woke up early, he wipes his eyes and headed to the living room. when his mind shuddered as though thunder strikes! 'where is mother? father?' he then shouted loud enough that the neighbors were awakened from their dreams. one of the neighbors was a slightly chubby man, he frowned when he heard Liu Chen shout.
"Hey Liu Chen are you competing to the rooster!?" the chubby man shouted as he walked in the direction of the small house, seeing no reply he knocked on the door twice. "hello?" the chubby man sense the atmosphere was quiet so he opened the door and saw Liu Chen on the chair, his eyes were dim.
'What happened to him?' curious, the chubby man began to ask some question to Liu Chen, "Liu Chen I know your not okay, so tell me why is that?" with his plump hand rested on Liu Chen head, Liu Chen glance at him and weakly said "did you see my mother?" the chubby man shakes his head, "then my father?" the chubby man again shakes his head.
"then do you know where are they?" Liu Chen was staring at the chubby man's eyes, seeing that gaze, the chubby man can't help but feel pity. "Liu Chen you know your father and I are best friend, so if I know something I will not hide it from you." the chubby man again frowned it seemed the situation was serious. 'en not serious, but extremely serious!' the chubby man asked some more questions as well comforting Liu Chen.
Liu Chen was hungry, alone, and his heart as though someone slice it apart, he stands up and said "Thank you for the concern Senior Zhang Wei." hearing Liu Chen's voice melt Zhang Wei's heart! he needs to get to the bottom of this! but before that, he needs something some sort of power-up. Zhang Wei grabbed Liu Chen's small hands and said with a smile "Let's eat first, if we found your father he will get sad if he sees you in that state."
Liu Chen's appearance was nothing special apart from his eyes, his body which is strong because of climbing to the trees, his black hair that falls on his shoulder, and blue eyes that hide deep depth like an ocean. being led by Zhang Wei out of the house, the neighbors were gossiping about the situation.
"Where are his parents? why fatty was walking beside him?"
"Yesterday, I thought that maybe they work late because you know they are hardworking who would've thought they will suddenly disappear."
"maybe they encounter bad, that's why they are late, or worse they died!"
Zhang Wei Shouted at them "Are you guys had screws on your head!? cant you see the child situation!?" after his outburst, most of the people headed back to their homes, due to the Chen family being honest to the bone they encounter haters as well!
"Don't worry about them, I'm sure your parents are somewhere maybe some work that's not finished that's why they are late." Zhang Wei said as he pats the head of Liu Chen, after he comforts him they arrive at Zhang Wei's house. it was small as well and not far from Liu Chen Home, he walked and opened the front door with Liu Chen Behind him.
"Dad where did you go!" a shout echoed revealing the sudden appearance of a girl, wearing red robes with flowers embroidered on them, long black hair, and a cute face. her eyes were scanning her dad when she caught Liu Chen hiding behind. "Liu Chen?" Liu Chen took a look and nodded "Hello Zhang Min." then after a period of silence, Zhang Min's mouth formed a smile! she grabbed Liu Chen's hands as they head inside of the small warm house.
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I will cook for breakfast it will be fast, Liu Chen relax here okay?" Liu Chen nodded he felt warmth jumping on his heart, then he was pulled by Zhang Min to the living room, the two sat and Zhang Min began to ask him lots of questions! Zhang Min was sitting close to Liu Chen, she was holding his hand while listening to the story of Liu Chen.
"Really? I knew you liked to climb big trees, take me with you next time!" She stared at him and Liu Chen warmly smiled "Sure!" thus the atmosphere between the two was warm, the smell of rice and fish, as well as pork, traveled to their noses. Liu Chen for a moment remembers his mother's cooked foods as well as his dad's poor cook! at that thought, his eyes started to form water.
Zhang Min notice this because she was keeping an eye on him every now and then, even the smell only capture her for a millimeter second! "Liu Chen what happened!?" she uses her robe to wipe his eyes, being close to each other made her face quickly turned red! before she could react, Liu Chen hugged her! Zhang Wei this time was as though being cooked! her face was red and her eyes wide like an egg.
After Zhang Wei stepped in with plates on his right and left did Liu Chen back to reality, he smiled at Zhang Min trying to hide the blushes the formed on his face, why did he do that!? placing the food on the table, Zhang Wei turned a blind eye to this scene, look at these two being sweet with each other! he coughs twice before sitting in the chair "Let's eat before the food is warm."
They started eating with Zhang Wei trying not to eat faster, Liu Chen was eating fast maybe because of the situation, but why Zhang Min seemed eating at a snail pace? normally she would eat her food faster than him, bewildered by his daughter he asked "Zhang Min are you okay? why you don't eat faster today?" Zhang Min was on cloud nine today! holding Liu Chen's hands, talking about his adventures! and the big bomb which he hugs her, indeed this was better than eating porks!
But her dreams stopped when her father asked her about eating fast, she glared at him while glancing at Liu Chen as thought shouting, do you really have to bring that in front of him!? Zhang Wei smiled as he continued to eat, indeed being in love can make you lose appetite!
