The Elders Do CP Together.

So, the photos of Chen Shuo as a child with his bare bottom that he had desperately tried to protect earlier were now brazenly "appreciated" by Su Xiyan.

What was more fatal was that there was also Xu Mei at the side, acting as a super commentator for each photo.

Now, in front of Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo was like being stripped naked without any privacy!

"Mom, stop looking at the photos. Hurry up and contact someone to fix the doors and windows!" Chen Shuo couldn't let his mom keep immersing in his childhood dark history and laughing out loud with Su Xiyan. He had to change the topic.

After that, Chen Shuo took his mom to the next bedroom to see the rusty window that could no longer close properly.

Xu Mei was distressed, "The temperature suddenly dropped last night. Did you get cold?"

Before Chen Shuo could answer, Su Xiyan had already learned to preempt him, "He wasn't cold at all!"

Xu Mei instantly flared up, "Chen Shuo! You brat! You actually let Xiyan sleep in the next bedroom? If Xiyan catches a cold, I won't let you off!!"

Before she finished speaking, she pretended to hit Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo said, "Mom, I'm a grown up already. Don't I need to keep my dignity?"

"Don't worry, mom. No one slept in the next bedroom after the temperature dropped last night."

Xu Mei and Auntie Zhang's minds went blank instantly. They looked at each other in disbelief for a few seconds before asking in incredulous tones, "Ah? Then where did you sleep last night?"

Chen Shuo replied, "The master bedroom!"

Xu Mei: ???

Auntie Zhang: ???

"You two..."

Su Xiyan was very calm, "Yeah, we were together, both sleeping in the master bedroom."

Xu Mei: w(゚Д゚)w

Auntie Zhang: (O_o)??

Chen Shuo: Can you please clarify??

The whole living room was quiet for a few seconds.

Eventually, it was still Xu Mei who broke the awkwardness, "Um... it's about fixing the doors and windows right? I have the contact of the repairman stored in my phone. I'll call him now to come and fix them."

"Oh where's my phone?"

Chen Shuo: "..."

"Mom, it's in your hand!!"

Xu Mei: "Oh I'm too happy I forgot! Hahaha~~"

Then, Xu Mei called the repairman.

The repairman was also an old friend who lived in this neighborhood. He happened to be free now and came over shortly to fix the window.

After finishing the repair, the repairman looked at Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan, full of envy on his face, "The Chen family is really lucky!!"

Xu Mei smiled even more, exceptionally proud as she nodded, "That's right!!"

After sending the repairman off, Chen Shuo went to the master bedroom to carry his own blanket over, "I can finally sleep well tonight!!"

The implied meaning was that he didn't sleep well last night??

Xu Mei and Auntie Zhang were just like two melon-eating onlookers. Now, every word from Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan sounded like explosive points for their CP shipping imagination.

Su Xiyan very naturally pulled Xu Mei's arm, "I can sleep with Auntie tonight! I still want to listen more to the stories of Chen Shuo's childhood from Auntie! I love listening to them!"

After speaking, Su Xiyan even glanced victoriously at Chen Shuo, as if she had found her backing.

Xu Mei looked embarrassed, "Ah? Xiyan, you want to sleep in the same room as me tonight?"

Su Xiyan nodded, "Yeah!"

Xu Mei quickly signaled Auntie Zhang with her eyes.

Auntie Zhang had been close colleagues and best friends with Xu Mei for many years. They had great tacit understanding. As soon as Xu Mei signaled with her eyes, Auntie Zhang immediately understood what she meant, "Um... I'm sorry Xiyan."

"The thing is, I came back to Suzhou with Shuo's mom this time for work too. The place we need to go for work is not too far from here, so we didn't book a hotel and just stayed at home directly."

"So in the next few days, I'll be staying with Shuo's mom."

Xu Mei deliberately pretended to look very embarrassed, "Oh no, if we had known earlier, we should have booked a hotel room. It's probably too late to book a hotel room for tonight now, right??"

Auntie Zhang nodded, "Yes! What should we do now?"

Chen Shuo thought inwardly: \|-||, just keep acting!

Xu Mei looked at Su Xiyan, "How about this? Bear with it and sleep in the next bedroom with Shuo tonight. I still have some work documents to go through with Auntie Zhang tonight! It's more convenient for two people to stay in one room and exchange about work."

"Xiyan, you're such a thoughtful girl. You'll understand our situation right?"

Su Xiyan still had an obedient smile on her face, "Okay, I'll follow Auntie's arrangement."

When she looked at Chen Shuo again, there was a strange smile on Su Xiyan's face.

In Chen Shuo's eyes, her smile was like the evil step-grandmother looking at Little Red Riding Hood. It seemed like the next second, she would devour Little Red Riding Hood completely.

Things had developed to this stage. What more could Chen Shuo say?

He didn't believe that a girl as extremely clever as Su Xiyan could not see that Xu Mei and Auntie Zhang were singing a duet with the intention of putting the two of them in one room.

Su Xiyan obviously could tell, yet she still went along with them?

There could only be one purpose!

This woman wants to devour me!

Speaking of which, I'm a full grown man. Who's afraid of whom??

Thinking of this, Chen Shuo's back straightened up and he felt more confident!

Let's see who loses out tonight!

The afternoon passed joyfully in laughter and banter.

At night, they didn't go to a restaurant for dinner.

The three women were in the living room watching TV and laughing merrily.

Chen Shuo was busy cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

He didn't know what the three of them were chatting about, but he noticed them glancing over at the kitchen from time to time.

Although very busy, he felt a deep sense of peace and warmth within. Perhaps this was the feeling of happiness that comes from the sweet atmosphere of family!

Soon, dishes were brought out to the table one after another.

"Xiyan, your Uncle Chen and I were quite busy, so Shuo learned cooking from young. I used to joke that if he couldn't get into a good university in the future, he could just go learn to be a chef. Having a skill would allow him to earn money and support his wife and children."

"Unexpectedly, this child actually tested into Nanli University."

"Your Uncle Chen and I didn't actually have high expectations of Shuo. As long as he could live a safe and healthy life like us, that would be a blessing already."

"Right, what do your parents do, Xiyan?"

Xu Mei's casual question made Su Xiyan's chopsticks stop abruptly for a moment.

Her clear eyes flashed with thoughts.

"My parents? They run some small businesses and earned a bit of money. Just ordinary small business owners."

Su Xiyan thought to herself that she couldn't possibly tell them her father was currently the highest ranked demon hunter, could she?
