The two went to the living room together, and Dongfang Chen presented the gifts he had brought.

"I heard from Chizuru that you like matcha cakes, so I bought some on the way."

"Oh dear, what a good child! Grandma will gladly accept Chen's kind offer!"

Grandma Ichinose accepted it with a smile.

"Is Grandma already cooking? Let me help you."

After putting away her umbrella, bag, and other items, Chizuru came over and said.

The aroma of stewed meat soup could already be smelled in the living room.

"No, I promised to cook a proper meal for Chen myself, so you just need to keep Chen company."

She stopped Chizuru, who was heading towards the kitchen.

Dongfang Chen suggested, "How about this, Grandma, you go and rest, and Qianhe and I can have the kitchen!"

“That won’t do. How can we let Chen Gang come to our house and start doing chores? That’s not how I treat my guests.”

Grandma Ichinose is over seventy years old.

Although she seemed to be in good spirits, that was no reason for her to continue working herself to the bone.

Dongfang Chen: "I'm not a guest. From now on, we'll be family. So, isn't it only natural to do things in your own home?"

Chizuru said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you saying in front of Grandma!"

Grandma Ichinose looked at Dongfang Chen's face and smiled happily: "Yes, we're family now, so Grandma won't fight you for the kitchen anymore. You can take over the kitchen."

"Yes, leave it to us."

Grandma Ichinose patted him on the shoulder and nodded in satisfaction.

Then she took off her apron and quietly went to a room where a memorial tablet for Grandpa Ichinose was enshrined.

Dongfang Chen and Qianhe took over the kitchen.

Looking at the many ingredients prepared in the kitchen, you can tell that Grandma Ichinose wants to cook a lot of dishes.

"I'll be the head chef, and Chizuru will assist me!"

Although I know that Chizuru's cooking skills are probably not bad, they are still a bit behind his.

If we're going to do it, then of course we should make it taste good.

"Ah."

Chizuru nodded, offering no objection.

She also knew that Dongfang Chen's cooking skills were much better than hers.

Qianhe considerately tied an apron on Dongfang Chen and then began to help him prepare the ingredients.

Dongfang Chen skillfully picked up a knife and began chopping vegetables, explaining to Qianhe the preparation methods and precautions for each dish.

Qianhe listened attentively, nodding occasionally, impressed by Dongfang Chen's professionalism and attentiveness.

With their help, the kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma.

Chizuru felt a familiar warmth and harmony, a warmth she had only felt several years ago when her grandfather was still alive.

In a small room.

Grandma Ichinose sat in front of Grandpa Ichinose's memorial tablet, her eyes slightly closed, recalling the days when Grandpa Ichinose was alive.

She feels somewhat lonely now.

But seeing Qianhe and Dongfang Chen busy in the kitchen filled her heart with comfort.

"Old man, did you see that? Chizuru has found her future home, so there's no need to worry anymore."

Grandma Ichinose gently stroked the pedestal.

After some time, a sumptuous meal was prepared.

Chizuru and Dongfang Chen brought the food to the dining table in the living room and then invited Grandma Ichinose to come out and eat.

Grandma Ichinose stepped out of her room and saw the table laden with delicious-looking dishes. A tear welled up in her eyes, moved by the sight.

"Grandma, why don't you try my cooking? I don't think you'll be disappointed," Dongfang Chen said confidently.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it too."

She sat down, and Chizuru first served her a small dish of soup, blew on it to cool it, and handed it to her: "Grandma, have some soup first!"

"Thank you, Chizuru. Please sit down, I can do it myself."

Grandma Ichinose gestured for the two to sit down before taking a small sip of her soup.

"This is so delicious! Chen's cooking skills are much better than mine."

She sighed.

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma."

Dongfang Chen smiled modestly, and looking at Grandma Ichinose's satisfied expression, he felt a warmth in his heart.

At that moment, they seemed to have truly become a family, caring for and looking after each other.

After dinner, Qianhe and Dongfang Chen cleared the table together.

Then they sat on the sofa with Grandma Ichinose and started chatting.

Grandma Ichinose took out a thick photo album, which contained many photos of Chizuru from childhood to adulthood, as well as many photos of Ichinose's grandparents together.

"As expected of Chizuru, she's been beautiful since she was a child!" Dongfang Chen praised.

"Right, right? Our Chizuru has always been this cute."

Grandma Ichinose nodded in agreement.

"Can you guys stop dwelling on this issue?"

Chizuru's face was flushed; she was still a little shy as her grandmother showed her childhood photos.

Then, Grandma Ichinose told some stories about Grandpa Ichinose.

They listened intently, as if they could feel the presence of Grandpa Ichinose.

Then there's the story about Chizuru's childhood, chapter 413.

"Chen, do you know that although Chizuru has matured a lot now, she used to love to act cute with her grandma when she was little?"

Chizuru said helplessly, "Grandma, could you please stop talking about those things? It's embarrassing."

Dongfang Chen said, "No, I don't think it's shameful that Chizuru liked to act cute when she was little."

"On the contrary, I would be very happy if Chizuru could often act cute towards me."

Chizuru said with some dissatisfaction, "These are all grown-ups. I won't do anything childish."

Grandma Ichinose: "It's only natural to act cute in front of someone you like!"

"Grandma~"

"Alright, alright, let's move on to the next one. For example, Chizuru's dream. Actually, it was after watching her grandmother's work back then that she wanted to become an actress!"

Grandma Ichinose spoke tirelessly.

Dongfang Chen listened with great interest, while Qianhe complained with a sense of despair.

Time flies, and night gradually falls.

Around 9 PM, Dongfang Chen and Qianhe said goodnight to Grandma Ichinose and left the Ichinose house.

On their way home, Qianhe and Dongfang Chen walked side by side, the drizzling rain hitting their umbrellas.

Chizuru said gently, "Thank you for today, Chen."

Chapter 133 Your weekend life is quite eventful.

Chizuru said gently, "Thank you for today, Chen."

"What's there to thank between family members? She's your grandmother, and she's also my grandmother. It's only right that I take care of her, isn't it?"

Dongfang Chen said it was only natural.

She didn't say much this time.

Since the last time, her feelings for Dongfang Chen have been rather complicated.

From ordinary friendship to a life-saving act, a one-night stand, a show of care, and so on.

These cannot actually be considered love; they are simply a mixture of many complex emotions.

In other words, she has not yet truly accepted Dongfang Chen as her man.

But after today, she had a new feeling. Perhaps it wasn't love, but it greatly brought the two of them closer.

Dongfang Chen noticed her bewildered expression, switched the umbrella to her other hand, and gently rubbed her head with his hand that was close to hers.

"Perhaps I only had ulterior motives towards you at first, but my feelings for Chizuru are also genuine."

"Our bond may not be deep enough yet, but our future is still long."

"Don't overthink it, just follow your own ideas step by step."
