She was busy with her work, so Lu Fei sat on the sofa in the living room to wait, as he couldn't help.
Chen Xinyue's apartment was decorated simply and elegantly, and it looked very clean and tidy.
Compared to Wu Qian, she was the epitome of a virtuous wife and good mother.
When he lived with Wu Qian before, he was the one who cooked and cleaned.
Wu Qian was the type of person who would rather starve to death than lift a finger, let alone clean.
Normally, if a bowl or chopsticks were left on the table, she wouldn't even think of washing them, even if they grew mold.
Here with Chen Xinyue, it was spotless, showing she was a clean woman.
However, it was also possible that this was the result of hiring a cleaner.
So, he asked curiously, "Did you clean this place yourself?"
"I live here alone, who else would clean it if not me? Do you think a Tianluo girl cleans for me?" Chen Xinyue joked.
"People who can afford to live in such a high-end community usually have the ability to hire a cleaner. I thought you hired a part-time cleaner!" Lu Fei explained with a smile.
"So, if I can't make a living in the future, I can work as a part-time cleaner for others." Chen Xinyue continued to joke.
Lu Fei didn't expect Chen Xinyue to be quite humorous, so he followed her lead, "Then you would definitely be the most expensive part-time cleaner."
"Pfft!" Chen Xinyue was also amused by his words.
In fact, after Lu Fei entered her home, she had been observing him. She found him to be quite sincere, without many hidden motives.
This made her feel a bit more favorable towards him, but it was only the kind of good impression one has for a casual friend.
By the time she finished her work, it was already dark. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Fei was about to go and help open the door, but Chen Xinyue seemed to know who it was. She put the printed materials into a large bag and carried it to the door.
She opened the door, handed the items to the person at the door, and gave a few instructions before closing the door again.
"You must have waited a long time. I'm done too. Wait for me to change my clothes, and then we'll go out to eat!"
"Okay!" Lu Fei nodded.
After a while, Chen Xinyue came out of the room. She had been wearing loungewear at home.
She changed into a trench coat, which looked very stylish.
Chen Xinyue was the type of person who wasn't stunning at first glance, but became more attractive the longer you looked.
Especially dressed like this, her entire demeanor seemed to elevate.
"Shall we go? What do you want to eat?" Chen Xinyue asked.
"I'll eat whatever you order. But let's not go to a too expensive restaurant.
We're not looking for expensive, just delicious!"
"I happen to know a restaurant that consistently serves great food, let's go there."
Then, the two of them walked out of the apartment and got into the elevator.
Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, just as Lu Fei got into Chen Xinyue's car, he received a call from Liu Yifeng.
It turned out that Liu Yifeng, while tending the fire, suddenly wondered if Lu Fei and Chen Xinyue were still together, so he specifically called.
As soon as the call was connected, he impatiently asked, "Kid, are you back yet?"
"Not yet, just about to go eat."
"With Miss Chen?" Liu Yifeng asked excitedly.
Lu Fei hummed in response. Liu Yifeng knew that it was inconvenient for him to talk now that he was with Chen Xinyue.
So, he didn't say anything more. "Alright then, I won't bother you. I'll find you tomorrow to have a good chat." With that, he hung up the phone.
He knew that if Chen Xinyue called Lu Fei and asked him to come to her house to set up a printer, sparks were bound to fly between them.
If these two actually got together, he would be even happier than if he got married himself.
He never expected that the two, who seemed to have no chance, would reconnect. It looked like they might indeed be destined.
Chen Xinyue, who was driving, heard Lu Fei on the phone and asked, "Who is calling you? The voice on the other end sounds a bit familiar."
Lu Fei didn't deliberately hide it. "It's Yifeng. He drove me to your place this afternoon."
"Then why didn't he come up for a visit?" Chen Xinyue didn't react much upon hearing it was Liu Yifeng.
Lu Fei explained, "He had something to do, so he left earlier."
"I see!" Chen Xinyue said and fell silent.
Lu Fei couldn't help but want to ask her something. "Miss Chen, please don't mind if I ask you something!"
"What is it, ask away!"
"It's about your blind date with Yifeng last time. What was your impression of him?"
Chen Xinyue turned to look at him. She didn't expect him to ask that.
Seeing her silence, Lu Fei quickly added, "If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it. I was just asking casually."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. It was my first time meeting him too, and I thought he was quite reliable. I thought we could get to know each other first.
But later, when he took me to meet you all and found an opportunity to let me be alone with you, I understood his intentions. He wasn't interested in me."
"Don't be so modest because of this. It's not that Yifeng wasn't interested in you. It's just that his mind is on his child, and he doesn't want to get married so early.
He even told me in private that you are a very good person, but he didn't want to get married, and he was afraid that being too enthusiastic would mislead you, so he was polite but distant with you." Lu Fei quickly explained.
However, these explanations no longer mattered to Chen Xinyue. She wasn't fixated on Liu Yifeng, nor was she at the stage of falling head over heels after one meeting.
"It's okay. If we can't be a couple, we can still be ordinary friends. You too, we can be good friends in the future!"
Her words made Lu Fei's heart sink. "Is this her way of telling me that she's not interested in me either? That there's no possibility between us?"
But outwardly, he looked very happy. "Yes, good friends!"
Meanwhile, Tongtong finished training Da Hei and Da Bai, rewarded them with a sausage, and then started feeding the chickens.
These scenes, full of the warmth of everyday life, were all recorded.
Xia Qianqian, who grew up in the city, found everything in the countryside to be novel.
Seeing Tongtong feeding the chickens, she also joined in.
Watching twenty to thirty chickens pecking at rice on the ground, she curiously asked, "Tongtong, you have so many chickens. Are they for sale?"
Tongtong shook her head. "No, Grandpa raised them for me to eat!"
"What, so many chickens just for you to eat? Your grandpa treats you so well!" Xia Qianqian was a little surprised by this answer.
Tongtong's face was filled with a happy smile. "Daddy and Grandpa treat me very well. I'm very happy living with them."
"Tongtong, you are so good. I believe your dad and grandpa are also very happy." Just as Xia Qianqian was speaking, Liu Chunsheng walked in.
Seeing the strangers in the yard, he immediately guessed that they were staff members filming for Tongtong, and he became a little self-conscious.
Tongtong also saw Liu Chunsheng and ran over excitedly. "Grandpa, you're back!"
The cameraman, upon hearing that this was the genius's grandpa, immediately aimed his lens at him.
"I'm back!" Liu Chunsheng nodded.
Tongtong took his hand and quickly introduced him to everyone. "Aunt Xia, Uncle Wang, this is my grandpa!"
Then, she introduced others to Liu Chunsheng. "Grandpa, they are from the program team, here to film videos for me.
This is Uncle Wang, this is Aunt Xia, and these are the cameraman uncles."
Liu Chunsheng nodded awkwardly. "Hello!"
Director Wang actively extended his hand to him. "Hello, Brother Liu, hello!
I was supposed to greet you yesterday, but I couldn't find you. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. As long as you've finished filming, you don't need to worry about me!" Liu Chunsheng was a bit flustered by his enthusiasm.
