She doesn’t like you

In order to thank Chief Ji for giving them a ride to and from Didu “along the way,” He Qingwan did not send Ji Shaoheng away when they arrived home, saying she wanted to invite him to dinner.

Ji Shaoheng joked, “After buying the amusement park, do you still have money left?”

He Qingwan’s face flushed lightly. After spending such a large sum of cash, she really didn’t have much cash on hand.

However, “I still have money to invite Chief Ji to dinner.”

Ji Shaoheng: “Don’t…” then, after some hesitation, “If you really want to have dinner, just a simple meal at home is fine.”

Su Tian silently turned her face, simply not watching.

Heh, all these tricks.

He Qingwan was slightly hesitant. “That’s too halfhearted.”

Ji Shaoheng: “How it is halfhearted? I’ve had enough outside food.”

He Qingwan laughed at that. “Alright, then. My cooking is just average, don’t dislike it.”

There were also the children, and they all had a lively dinner together.

Ji Shaoheng thought, even if it was pig slop, he still wouldn’t dislike it.

Very soon he realized–this craftsmanship, this dish, what was there for him to dislike?

The ribs were vivid and rich, the vegetables were crisp and refreshing, and even the soup that was made simply because there wasn’t enough time had a pure taste…

Chief Ji, who was used to exotic delicacies from hotels and takeout, almost shed tears as he ate.

And so He Qingwan and the group of half-grown children watched in amazement as Chief Ji added bowl after bowl of rice, eating as much as all of them combined, including the seventeen-year-old boy Liu Kaiyan.

Everyone: “…”

Later, after Chief Ji had eaten enough and had taken his leave, Xi Yun prodded Liu Kaiyan, whispering: “Uncle Policeman eats more than you.”

After all, in Xi Yun’s mind, Liu Kaiyan was the person who had eaten his sixty yuan’s worth of skewers in one sitting.

He Qingwan heard it and replied, “Xiao Yun also has to eat more. Eat more so you can grow taller.”

Xi Yun pointed to Liu Kaiyan. “He’s almost as tall as Uncle Policeman, but he doesn’t eat a lot.”

Liu Kaiyan had already gone from “super glutton” to “doesn’t eat much” in Xi Yun’s mind.

Su Tian lightly tapped his forehead. “Look how strong Uncle Policeman is. His body is all muscle, and he can lift you up with one hand.”

You Pinyan also lazily looked up at him, saying, “Ji Shaoheng’s arms are almost thicker than your waist.”

Xi Yun: “Oh, then I want to eat more.”

He Qingwan thought of something, and her face suddenly flushed scarlet.

Su Tian couldn’t bear it again and silently turned her face away.

Heh.

Ji Shaoheng, haven eaten and drunk his fill, happily returned to the hostel. The youth was holding his laptop, typing away without stopping. There were no lights on in the room–there was only the light from the computer screen and the faint blue of the fish tank.

Ji Shaoheng turned on the lights, changed out of his shoes, and leaned back comfortably on the sofa. He asked, “Have you eaten?”

The youth ignored him and continued to type on the keyboard.

Ji Shaoheng didn’t care much and happily flaunted: “I had dinner at my wife’s house today, and my wife personally made it. Tsk, so delicious, my wife’s handicraft is really good.”

The youth lifted his lids and eyed the intoxicated man. He glanced over at the simple meal provided by the hostel, and the sound of the clattering keyboard grew louder.

Ji Shaoheng: “Ai, when can I marry people back home? But always having my wife cook makes my heart hurt. I should hire a nanny…”

Before he finished speaking, the youth abruptly stood up and made his way to the fish tank.

Ji Shaoheng sat up. “What are you doing?”

The youth didn’t speak, just opening the cabinet under the fish tank. He brought out a small aquarium net and dipped it into the tank.

Ji Shaoheng: “…!”

He hurried over. “What are you doing? Are you going to take out your octopus? Wait… wait, wait, why are you chasing after my Peppermint Angelfish?!”

The Peppermint Angelfish was chased all around the tank by the net, shocking all the creatures inside into hiding.

The youth looked up and cocked the corners of his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth. “Didn’t eat, frying fish to eat.”

!

Ji Shaoheng: “…”

He quickly snatched the net, dragging the danger away from his baby fish. He pushed the person onto the sofa, begging for mercy. “Alright, alright, I’ll stop showing off, okay?”

The boy gave him a glance. “Hurry up and transfer out my household registration.”

Then he sat down in front of the computer again and began typing.

Ji Shaoheng silently rubbed his nose. “That will have to wait until you reach adulthood. …But why are you going to Luocheng with me? Will the research in your lab be okay without you?”

The youth: “I have a computer.”

Ji Shaoheng: “…”

Having a computer was awesome.

However, Chief Ji’s many years of experience working on the front lines of criminal investigations told him there was definitely something fishy with all this.

He touched his chin, thoughtfully observing the youth’s indifferent, focused expression.

Cheese: and now i’ve completely caught up on my regular schedule, i think.
