"Don't ask me to stay for dinner tomorrow night. My senior brother invited me to his home."
"Why?" Xia Mi asked.
"It's like this..." Lu Mingfei rambled on.
"Oh, then I'll leave the door open for my senior brother." Xia Mi nodded, not thinking anything of it, as her senior brother was going to another senior brother's house for dinner.
Chu Zihang went to Kassel College, so he went.
Xia Mi felt that Lu Mingfei was more important and more worthy of her manipulation and capture.
As for Chu Zihang introducing Su Xiaoyan to Lu Mingfei, it was simply a matter of course for Lu Mingfei to protect Su Xiaoyan.
Although Xia Mi sometimes dislikes Lu Mingfei, she has to admit that Lu Mingfei is trustworthy.
Chapter 115 Su Xiaoyan
The next afternoon, after school, Lu Mingfei got into Chu Zihang's Porsche and went to his house to meet Su Xiaoyan.
Chu Zihang's home is in an upscale residential area in the east of the city, specifically a lakeside villa called Peacock Mansion.
Speaking of which, Su Xiaoqiang's home is also in this area. If Lu Mingfei goes out for a stroll, he might very well run into her.
Chu Zihang parked the car in the garage and led Lu Mingfei to see Su Xiaoyan.
It was Lu Mingfei's first time visiting his senior's home, and he had planned to bring some gifts.
My senior brother said there was no need for that. Today, Lu Mingfei is a guest, and it should be my mother and I who entertain him. There's no need to be so formal.
In the end, Lu Mingfei still brought two cases of Mengniu milk.
He had heard Chu Zihang say that Su Xiaoyan needed to drink a cup of hot milk every night to fall asleep.
To be honest, this was Lu Mingfei's first time visiting a friend's house. He had never had any friends before, so he was quite nervous.
My senior said his mother was easygoing and approachable.
Lu Mingfei had met Chu Zihang's father, Chu Tianjiao, in the script's world, and the latter had entrusted Chu Zihang to him.
Back then, because Chu Tianjiao was unreliable and untrustworthy, Su Xiaoyan became disheartened and divorced him, taking Chu Zihang with her, and severed all marital ties with him.
Lu Mingfei tried to imagine what kind of person Su Xiaoyan was, and he subconsciously tried to find clues from Chu Zihang.
My senior is such a serious person, so no matter how unpretentious his mother is, she must be a dignified lady.
Before Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang even entered the living room, they could smell a burning odor from afar.
His expression changed, but Chu Zihang remained calm: "Mom cooked by herself again."
"Will there be any danger?" Lu Mingfei asked worriedly.
"With Aunt Tong watching over us, nothing will happen." Chu Zihang shook his head. "Let's hurry over there."
"Ok."
The two quickened their pace and entered the living room, where a cloud of black smoke billowed into their faces. It seemed that Su Xiaoyan had made quite a few mistakes this time.
"Cough cough!"
Lu Mingfei saw a person run out of the kitchen, wiping their face with their hands. Their face was covered in soot, making them look like a little kitten.
Lu Mingfei guessed that she was Su Xiaoyan.
So young.
Although the ash does affect the appearance to some extent, it indirectly adds a touch of youthful energy and vitality, reducing the natural sense of distance that comes with being an elder.
Su Xiaoyan knew that Chu Zihang's friends were coming today. This was the first time her son had invited friends over, so she wanted to show her side as a virtuous wife and loving mother, but unfortunately, she failed.
"I'm sorry, Zihang, it's because Mom is useless," Su Xiaoyan said dejectedly.
Then, her gaze fell on Lu Mingfei, her bright and clear eyes full of curiosity: "You must be Mingfei? I've heard Zihang talk about you a lot these days."
It's actually a lie.
Given Chu Zihang's personality, even if he cares about Lu Mingfei, he wouldn't be able to have a long talk with Su Xiaoyan.
However, with his flight to Kassel College imminent and the need for Lu Mingfei's care and protection during his extended absence from home, Chu Zihang began mentioning Lu Mingfei more often to Su Xiaoyan, hoping to leave an impression.
Don't worry, they're all good impressions.
For example, Lu Mingfei is diligent, down-to-earth, and hardworking; there are many things I can learn from him.
Chu Zihang felt this was the truth; that was how he knew Lu Mingfei.
Su Xiaoyan understood Chu Zihang's personality; he wouldn't lie. Her simple and unadorned praise was already the highest compliment she could give him.
Therefore, when Su Xiaoyan met Lu Mingfei today, she noticed that although he was a little nervous, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and had an extraordinary demeanor. She thought to herself that he was indeed worthy of being friends with her son, Zihang.
In the simulated script, Lu Mingfei is a piano king who has participated in international competitions. He has definitely practiced before. He is usually relaxed and leisurely, but his words and actions in formal occasions demonstrate his demeanor.
It was a bit distracting that he was carrying two boxes of Mengniu milk.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoyan quite likes drinking Mengniu milk.
"I'm going to change my clothes, you guys have fun," Su Xiaoyan said with a smile.
Because she misjudged when Chu Zihang would return home, Su Xiaoyan was still wearing her pajamas at home, indicating that the drunkard had just woken up in the afternoon.
The fans' pajamas covered their shapely figures, which Chu Zihang might have taken for granted, but Lu Mingfei chose not to look.
Humans cannot, or at least should not.
Su Xiaoyan first took a shower in the bathroom, then went back to the master bedroom to change into more mature and dignified clothes, which will not be described in detail for now.
Aunt Tong came out of the kitchen afterward. She had just cleaned up the mess Su Xiaoyan had made. She nodded slightly to Lu Mingfei and greeted him.
Lu Mingfei also responded with a comment.
"Aunt Tong, where's Dad?" Chu Zihang asked.
"My husband's company has some urgent matters to attend to, and he instructed me to treat your friend well and not to neglect him," Aunt Tong said.
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chu Zihang's stepfather was not there.
It's not that I have a problem with Chu Zihang's stepfather, Lu Tianming, but I can't see Lu on the road.
If you were visiting a friend's house, would you genuinely want both of their parents to be there?
Ideally, no one would be home, so I could feel more relaxed and comfortable.
One Su Xiaoyan is enough.
Lu Tianming, no need.
After putting down the milk, Lu Mingfei looked around his senior's house. He could only describe it as luxuriously decorated, and he also noticed a piano placed there.
Lu Mingfei judged that although the surface was wiped clean, it was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.
The piano is crying.
Lu Mingfei isn't Jiahao, so he has no reason to play the piano and show off.
But he couldn't sit still on the sofa by himself, so when he saw Aunt Tong cooking, he volunteered to go and help.
Under the tutelage of Teacher Daye, Lu Mingfei's culinary skills have actually improved.
Although there is still a huge gap between him and Chef Da Ye, other chefs think that he is already quite good at this age.
Many young people don't even know how to cook.
Aunt Tong wanted to refuse, since Lu Mingfei was a guest and shouldn't be allowed to work.
It was Chu Zihang who spoke up, and he and Ming Fei helped each other.
Aunt Tong couldn't refuse, so she agreed.
The young master sometimes cooks for his wife, replicating the recipe exactly.
It lacks some of the most imaginative and creative ideas, but the minimum standard is guaranteed.
While Lu Mingfei was helping out in the kitchen, he also glimpsed a black, wriggling thing in the trash can, completely obscuring the original appearance of the food.
Compared to the starry sky, even the most exquisite delicacies seem like delicacies.
At least you can still see that it's a fish head.
Two hours later, a sumptuous dinner was ready, including steamed sea bass, stir-fried pork with green peppers, braised beef brisket with tomatoes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, braised bok choy with mushrooms, cucumber salad, and a corn and pork rib soup.
This dinner certainly can't compare to the hotel's specially offered business packages, but it has the advantage of being more down-to-earth and welcoming.
When Su Xiaoyan heard Aunt Tong say that Lu Mingfei had contributed a lot to these dishes, she chuckled and expressed her gratitude to Lu Mingfei.
"I didn't expect Mingfei to be able to cook. Who taught him? Your mother?" Su Xiaoyan asked curiously.
“Well… my parents went abroad to work when I was very young, and I lived with my uncle and aunt. That’s when I learned to cook,” Lu Mingfei said. “But I recently moved out.”
"Do you live alone?" Su Xiaoyan asked in surprise. "Isn't it unsafe?"
"I share the rent with a classmate."
"Oh? Is it a boy or a girl?" Su Xiaoyan became interested, just like Chu Zihang when it came to gossiping about Lu Mingfei.
"Auntie, is this the important point?" Lu Mingfei asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"Why are you calling me 'Auntie'? Do I look that old? Just call me 'Sister'. If Zihang weren't my son, he'd have to call me 'Sister' too."
"I love it when handsome young men call me 'sister,' it makes me feel young again," Su Xiaoyan said.
Chu Zihang calls Su Xiaoyan "Mom," but addresses her best friend as "Sister."
Su Xiaoyan's friends were naturally delighted.
Su Xiaoyan was also delighted, feeling like she had gained several more daughters.
“Okay, Sister Xiaoyan.” Lu Mingfei readily agreed.
The reason I called her Sister Xiaoyan instead of Sister Su is mainly to avoid confusing her with Brother Qiang.
In Lu Mingfei's mind, Qiang Ge is his brother!
Chu Zihang was already numb to his mother's unserious behavior. Seeing that she seemed to like Lu Mingfei and that they had a harmonious relationship, he was relieved.
During the meal, Su Xiaoyan asked Lu Mingfei many interesting stories about school, and Lu Mingfei answered with some of the more interesting ones.
He knew that Su Xiaoyan actually wanted to ask about her senior's performance at school, so he praised her senior without reservation.
