Chapter 128: The Taste of Rice.

"Oh, maybe when the doctor was examining me, I took off my clothes. It made me feel awkward in front of so many police officers and medical staff."

Xu Lin, being a clever little devil, immediately realized that his mother was starting to probe him. If Qin Yunhe accidentally revealed everything, things would definitely not be like this now.

His mother would definitely call his father back, then call Qin Yunhe's parents, and discuss when they should get engaged, and then apologize on his behalf or something like that.

So right now, it should just be a test. He shouldn't panic.

He's handling it well!

Xu Lin successfully grasped the current situation, and Li Yuan, looking at her son like this, also breathed a sigh of relief.

If her son really had something with the other party, she really didn't know what to do. But she would ask a little more just to be sure.

"Oh, whose clothes are these then?"

Xu Lin pondered for a moment, considering what Qin Yunhe would say if asked this question.

"It should be her colleague's clothes. She brought them for me."

"I see. But what about your school?"

"I asked for leave from my class teacher yesterday at noon."

"Then I'll go make lunch, you rest for a while."

"You rest, I'll handle it." Xu Lin gently pressed his mom onto the sofa and headed towards the kitchen.

"Remember to call Xiao Chan and Xiao Yun, don't let them worry."

"I see. Mom, are you saying you're juggling like your son?"

"I'm not encouraging you to be a playboy, okay?"

"I understand, I understand. You think every girl is nice, so you need to interact with many to choose your favorite, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

Hearing his mom's excuse, he smiled. But he was still happy that his mom supported him.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Just something simple for the two of us. Let's just fry up some leftover rice from yesterday with an egg."

"Okay."

A few minutes later, holding two bowls of egg fried rice, the mother and son were ready to dig in when the door was knocked again.

Xu Lin set down his chopsticks and ran to open the door.

Then he saw a golden-haired JK standing there, with cute twin ponytails swaying.

"Chu Fengyi, you're back?"

"Yeah, just got back."

She tilted her head and smiled, not the mischievous smile, but a very ordinary one, with a hint of weariness and gentleness.

Xu Lin's heart softened, although he often argued and quarreled with her, but now he just wanted to hug her.

He opened his arms and went straight to hug her!

He had never hugged Chu Fengyi so actively before, usually being thrown out by her.

This time he felt her delicateness.

So small, yet so powerful, it's really amazing. I wonder if she also has a system?

"Do you miss me that much?" Chu Fengyi wrapped her slender arms around his waist, lightly sniffing Xu Lin's scent.

"Yes, I do."

"Stop lying, I don't believe you! With so many girls around, you're doing well if you don't end up in their beds. How could you think of me?"

Chu Fengyi teased, showing she really understood him. Her remark made him even more embarrassed.

"Let's go inside, my mom's at home."

"Good, I brought a little gift for your mom."

"Yeah, by the way, why are you dressed so lightly?"

Xu Lin noticed that although she appeared to be wearing this light windbreaker, there was only a thin lining inside, not a sweater or something warmer.

"I'm not cold."

Facing the approaching Chu Fengyi, Li Yuan also stood up and headed towards the bedroom. She couldn't handle this girl's temper.

However, the girl approached her and cautiously handed her a bag.

"Auntie, I noticed last time you were wearing flip-flops, but the plastic part between the toes seemed to be rubbing and causing some skin irritation."

"A friend of mine is doing research in nursing, and they recently launched a pair of ergonomic slippers. I happened to bring a pair back. Why don't you try them?"

"Okay." Li Yuan was taken aback. She didn't expect this aggressive girl to observe her so meticulously.

Could it be Xu Lin who told her? No, that kid probably wouldn't notice that she was rubbing her feet, and also her husband wouldn't notice even if they were together every day.

Is it Xiao Chan? She found out and told her sister?

Li Yuan was somewhat incredulous, but dared not believe that this was done by Chu Fengyi. Chu Fengyi also noticed this, but didn't say much about it.

"Try putting them on."

"Okay."

Li Yuan sat back on the sofa, and Chu Fengyi helped her open the packaging bag, inside which there was a small box, looking more high-end.

However, upon opening the box, the slippers appeared quite ordinary, without any expensive appearance.

But when Li Yuan put them on and took a few steps, she felt her entire legs indeed exerted much less effort.

Stepping down, the softness and elasticity were also good, without any friction sensation. Though they were slippers, they didn't slip off.

"They're quite nice, very comfortable!"

"That's good, and there's also this."

Chu Fengyi took out two more small boxes from the packaging bag.

Opening them revealed a small bottle with a rollerball, containing transparent liquid.

"This can be applied to the knees and calves to relieve muscle fatigue."

Saying this, Chu Fengyi sat next to Li Yuan, gently lifted her leg onto her own and rolled up the pants leg, then began massaging Li Yuan's legs gently.

"I'll give you a massage first to relax, then applying the medicine would be better."

"Okay..."

Li Yuan was completely stunned now, as was Xu Lin. They both suddenly felt like they didn't know Chu Fengyi at all.

However, Xu Lin also roughly guessed Chu Fengyi's thoughts. This girl understood the importance of getting along with her mother-in-law first.

But Chu Fengyi's behavior pleased Li Yuan as well. How many girls would help with foot massages? And this one was a young lady, probably very wealthy.

Li couldn't tell how rich exactly, but considering her disdain for luxury and her son's words, she must be exceptionally wealthy.

Being so wealthy and pampered, regardless of whether it was an act or genuine, if she said she hadn't changed her mind, it would be fake.

Moreover, this girl was so beautiful. Apart from being a bit thin, if she and Xu Lin had a good-looking doll, it wouldn't be bad at all.

Suddenly, Li Yuan also felt that as a mother-in-law, she was also a fickle one.

Even before they got married, she had been preoccupied with various thoughts, perhaps more so than her own son.

After massaging her legs, Chu Fengyi began applying medicinal water and then massaged them again.

"Chu Fengyi, what would you like to eat?"

"Have you all had breakfast?"

"No. We are having egg fried rice, there was some leftover rice from yesterday."

"That works for me too."

"Really?" Xu Lin knew that Chu Fengyi was quite particular about food.

"Of course, wasting food isn't good. In the past, many people couldn't even have enough to eat. How can we afford to waste?"

"Hmm."

Xu Lin nodded and headed towards the kitchen, with the image of an old man floating in his mind.

He came from an era of hunger but created an era where many people could eat their fill.

A peerless patriot, serving the country and the people, that's what they mean by an old gentleman like him!

How can we, the young people living in prosperous times, easily waste food?

He picked up his bowl, scooped up a spoonful of rice, and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in delight.

Though he didn't know why, he felt that today's rice was even more fragrant!

Old gentleman, peerless patriot, rest in peace.
