Chapter 737 Going home together, a familiar feeling

In first class.

After a brief pause, Lin Li came to his senses, raised his hand and pulled the girl in front of him to sit beside him.

The first-class seats were spacious enough that even with two of them sitting there it wouldn't feel crowded.

Lin Li's actions also attracted the attention of other passengers around him. When they saw his face clearly and then looked at the people next to him, they all showed surprised expressions.

Lin Li smiled and nodded slightly in response to their gazes.

Upon seeing this, the passengers all smiled appropriately and nodded in response.

Those who can book a first-class flight during the Spring Festival are not ordinary people.

After saying hello, Lin Li turned around and looked at the smiling little face beside him.

"Tell me about it, Xiao Zhang."

"It's okay to take you home for the New Year, but how should I deal with the fact that you lied to me?"

"Think about how to coax me. I'm hard to coax."

Lin Lihu frowned and acted unhappy.

The person next to him was Zhang Ruonan.

Someone who should have returned home a week ago suddenly appeared here today.

She was wearing a refreshing beige short down jacket, which seemed to have a gentle filter. She paired it with a blue round-neck sweater and a white shirt, which made her skin look whiter and cleaner.

She paired her outfit with loose white cropped trousers and Detroit shoes. She exudes the aura of an idol heroine, and she is lovable just by looking at her.

"Why, are you angry?"

Zhang Ruonan pouted slightly, and her pink lips looked even more delicate and tempting.

She stared at Lin Li with her big watery eyes, with innocence in her eyes. Her gaze was like a clear stream, pure and moving.

There was also a hint of coquettishness in her voice, like a gentle spring breeze blowing through Lin Li's heart, stirring the strings deep in his heart.

Lin Li turned his head away, pretending to be still angry.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and that frown seemed to carry thousands of words of dissatisfaction, and every wrinkle seemed to be telling of his unhappiness.

The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed into a stubborn straight line, and he tried hard to maintain an angry look, as if this would allow him to hold on to his last "line of defense."

Seeing that Lin Li remained silent, Zhang Ruonan approached him gently, her movements as gentle as a cautious kitten, and every step she took was filled with caution and flattery.

She raised her hands and grabbed Lin Li's arm, shaking it gently. "Hey, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you, okay?"

The voice is sweet and sticky, like a piece of freshly-baked marshmallow, exuding endless sweetness and temptation, making it irresistible.

Her eyelashes fluttered like the light wings of a butterfly, and every flutter seemed to pluck Lin Li's heartstrings.

Lin Li still had a stern face, trying to maintain his fake seriousness, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruonan raised the corners of her lips and acted even more coquettishly. She leaned her head on Lin Li's shoulder and rubbed it gently, like a kitten seeking comfort.

"I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time~"

"I just wanted to give you a surprise, and I was also afraid that what if you didn't want to take me home? I had to do it first and ask for your permission later."

"If you are unhappy, I will just go home obediently."

As Zhang Ruonan explained, she acted as if she was about to cry.

Her face was slightly red, and her expression was a little anxious and uneasy.

Lin Li finally couldn't help it and turned to look at her.

"Why, you're already sitting here, and you still want to go back?"

There was no longer any dissatisfaction in his eyes, instead, it was filled with tenderness and helplessness.

"You're here to see our teacher Nan Xun. Of course I want to stay, but if my staying makes you unhappy or embarrassed, that's not what I want."

Zhang Ruonan grabbed Lin Li's hand, looking understanding.

"Okay, let's stop pretending. If you dare to do this, it means you know me well enough."

"Actually, I'm quite happy. I deliberately caused a rift between you and me before, and my mother got so angry after finding out that she has ignored me ever since."

"I was worried about whether I would have food to eat when I got back, but now that you're here, I don't have to worry at all."

Lin Li raised his hand and pinched her soft little face, chuckling.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"I will definitely make Auntie happy and I guarantee you won't go hungry."

"And even if Auntie doesn't cook for you, you still have me."

The corners of Zhang Ruonan's mouth turned up, revealing a sweet smile, with two dimples faintly visible.

"Then I'm counting on you, Xiao Zhang."

Lin Li's eyes were full of doting, and he reached out and gently touched Zhang Ruonan's head.

He ran his fingers through her hair and stroked it, as softly and delicately as the breeze through willow branches.

Zhang Ruonan put her arms around his neck, raised her head and leaned close to his cheek and kissed him lightly.

"Do not worry."

Her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her pretty little face was full of confidence.

"Well, it's up to you."

Lin Li lowered his eyes to look at her, with a smile reaching into his eyes.

Zhang Ruonan also smiled, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks blossomed. Her sweet and healing smile made people happy just by looking at it.

She didn't tell her family how she explained it, and Lin Li didn't ask much. It was enough to know some things.

-

3pm.

Gaocheng, Courtyard No. 1.

Lin Feng and Li Ping learned that Lin Li was coming back today, so they started preparing ingredients for dinner early in the morning to welcome their son's return.

At this moment, Lin Feng was looking through the recipe carefully, his focused expression seemed as if he was studying some precious document.

"Why does this sweet and sour fish look so complicated? How about I try something simpler?"

He looked at Li Ping beside him and asked for her advice.

"With your cooking skills, don't embarrass yourself and continue making braised spareribs."

Li Ping glared at him and said unhappily.

Lin Feng insisted on trying a new dish today, and I don’t know what was wrong with him.

Li Ping was wearing an apron and kept moving back and forth in the kitchen, not bothering to pay attention to him at all.

She took out the ingredients from the refrigerator one by one with skillful and neat movements.

After placing them on the table, she began to wash the vegetables. The water from the faucet was flowing, and she skillfully rinsed the greens, beans, etc.

"You scold your son every day. I'm just worried that he won't have food to eat when he comes back."

Lin Feng glanced at Li Ping and said deliberately.

"Why not?"

"Your good son is out there flirting with other girls every day. I don't know who he looks like."

"I didn't intend to make these for him to eat. I made them on purpose for him to watch."

Li Ping glared at him and kept scolding him.

While she was talking, she kept moving her hands, placing the washed vegetables in a basket to drain them, and then putting them on a plate.

"You keep talking tough, I'll see if you give him food." "Besides, you gave birth to my son, so don't blame me for everything."

Lin Feng put down the recipe in his hand and pointed it out directly.

But he was not idle. His cooking skills were average, but he still had a specialty dish.

He rinsed the carefully selected ribs with clean water and carefully put them into the pot for blanching.

As the water temperature gradually rose, a thin layer of foam appeared on the water surface. He quickly picked up the spoon and concentrated on skimming off the foam bit by bit, his eyes very focused.

"Today I have to talk about him. Dudu and Xiaoye are such great girls!"

"You're not satisfied with that, and you've attracted so many girls."

Li Ping stared with her eyes wide open, looking extremely angry.

At the same time, his hands began to cut the vegetables. The sound of "da da da" was rhythmic, and the vegetables were cut into even small pieces and neatly arranged on the plate.

After cutting the onion, ginger and garlic, she lit the fire to heat the pan, poured in a proper amount of oil, waited until the oil smoked slightly, added the onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fried them. In a flash, the kitchen was filled with a rich fragrance.

"My son is capable, why do you worry so much? My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

"If we have that much time, we might as well think about how to urge him to give us grandchildren as soon as possible. Why would we care about him if we have grandchildren?"

"Let him be."

Following Li Ping's instructions, Lin Feng took out the blanched ribs, drained the water, and put them into the hot oil pan that Li Ping had prepared. With a "sizzling" sound, the ribs rolled happily in the pan.

He stir-fried the ribs quickly and added various seasonings. After a while, the color of the ribs turned bright red and attractive.

This is his only specialty, the rest depends on luck.

"That makes sense. Let's have a good talk with him today. Now that I have grandchildren, I don't bother to take care of him. He's always away from home anyway."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Ping's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement.

She started stir-frying the vegetables again, putting them into the pot, stir-frying quickly, adding appropriate amount of salt and seasoning, and completing the task in one go with her skillful movements.

After a while, a plate of green vegetables came out of the pot. The fresh color made people salivate.

Comrade Lao Lin also served the cooked ribs and placed them on a plate with a satisfied smile on his face.

"That's right, just think it through."

"It's rare for your son to come home, so don't keep talking about him. He always nags at me when he's not home."

Lin Feng looked at her and said with a smile.

"we'll see."

Li Ping glanced at him and continued to be stubborn.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and said nothing more.

Afterwards, they cooked several more dishes and filled the table.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

They knew Lin Li's flight schedule, so they started preparing after lunch.

But they felt a little strange. Normally, Lin Li should be home at around two o'clock, but for some reason he sent a message at noon saying that he had something to do and would not be home until four o'clock.

It's already four o'clock, and there's still no sign of him.

"Squeak~"

At this time, the sound of the electronic lock rang, and Lin Feng and Li Ping immediately showed joy on their faces, and hurried to the door.

Li Ping suddenly realized that she shouldn't smile at this brat, so she quickly put on an expressionless look and walked back to the kitchen to look at the pork rib soup that was still stewing.

Lin Feng found this funny and didn't bother to say anything more to her, as it would be over in a while anyway.

"Comrade Lao Lin, and the beautiful Ms. Li Ping, I am back."

The moment the door was pushed open, Lin Li's voice was the first to come out.

Lin Feng was about to respond when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Lin Li walked into the room first, carrying a bag and pulling two large boxes.

Then, a girl with a sweet smile walked out from behind him, carrying bags of gift boxes in her hands.

"Hello uncle, I'm Zhang Ruonan."

"Hello, Auntie. It's my first visit to your house. Sorry to bother you."

"You two can call me Ruonan or Nannan."

Zhang Ruonan had a bright smile on her face. She first greeted Lin Feng in a dignified and proper manner, then turned to Li Ping in the kitchen and greeted her.

Looking at Zhang Ruonan, who had a pretty face and a graceful demeanor, both Li Ping and the other were stunned and looked at each other.

After coming to their senses, the two of them instantly smiled warmly.

"Welcome Ruonan, just come over, what else do you want to bring?"

"Come on, come on, put it down quickly, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"The food is ready. Look at Ali, he brought you here without even telling us. If we had known, we would have prepared more dishes."

Lin Feng motioned for Zhang Ruonan to put down what was in her hand and said with a smile on her face.

He remembered that this was also his son’s girlfriend!

After that exposure, he went out of his way to find out the information about each of them, but there was a little more information and he was unable to react at the moment.

"That's right, it's good that people are here, and what else do they bring with them."

"Oh, this girl is so pretty. Come on, let me take you to wash your hands first, and then we'll have dinner. You must be tired from the journey, and you must not have eaten well."

Li Ping's reaction was even more intense. She quickly walked a few steps to Zhang Ruonan, took the things in her hand and put them aside, then pulled her up and walked towards the faucet in the kitchen. Her attitude was very enthusiastic.

Her eyes had been narrowed into slits, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were dancing happily.

"Thank you, Auntie. You look so young. You can't tell at all that you have a son as old as Ali."

Zhang Ruonan held Li Ping's hand and praised her with a smile.

"Oh, I'm old."

Li Ping gently patted the back of Zhang Ruonan's hand and said with a smile.

The corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, revealing a row of neat and white teeth.

Lin Li, who knew Li Ping well, could tell from her reaction that she was quite pleased with Zhang Ruonan's praise.

"No, everyone praised Ali for being handsome. Today I finally found the reason. It's all thanks to you, Auntie."

"Haha~ I have to say this, everyone said this when Ali was a child."

"Yeah, everyone can see that Ali has inherited your good genes."

"Haha~ It's okay, it's okay."

"Auntie, are all these dishes prepared by you and uncle? That's amazing. They look so appetizing. I'm hungry just by looking at them."

"Hey, there aren't many dishes. I'll show you my skills tomorrow."

"Okay, I also know some cooking skills, so I can help you."

"Really? You can cook too? That's great!"

……

Looking at the two people who were already sitting at the dinner table and chatting animatedly, Lin Li, who was still at the door, lowered his head to glance at the two boxes on the ground, then looked at Comrade Lao Lin who had just walked past him to the dining table, and couldn't help but sigh.

So, you forgot about me again?

tsk...

This is a familiar feeling!
