Chen Feng chatted with Mei Shu, and the others quietly accompanied them, refraining from disturbing this heartwarming scene.
Mei Jing, on the side, suddenly remembered something and, unusually attentive, said, “By the way, Guoguo, it’s already late, haven’t you told your mom?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the joyful expression on Chen Feng’s face visibly receded.
Mei Shu glared at him fiercely and took the initiative to say, “Ah Jing is right. Why don’t you discuss it with your mom? You can stay here tonight, and you and your father can have a good reunion.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng’s eyes lit up, “Miss, is that true?”
Mei Shu nodded affirmatively.
Chen Feng was so grateful that he was about to kneel down to Mei Shu. “Miss, I really don’t know how to thank you for your kindness. I…”
“Alright.” Mei Shu knew what he wanted to say, but at this point, Mei Shu didn’t want to mention that dampening matter for the time being. Anyway, it wasn’t the time yet. “It’s not easy for you and your daughter to meet. Just have a good chat. Don’t worry about us. Ah Jing and I will go back to do our homework first.”
“Alright, thank you, Miss.” Chen Feng nodded and bowed, seeing Mei Shu and Ah Jing off. However, he didn’t notice that his daughter’s face suddenly turned dark behind him.
But when he turned around again, Chen Guo had already restored her usual docile appearance.
Late at night, Mei Shu and Mei Yan coincidentally walked out of their rooms.
The little guy still remembered her promise from last night and wanted to eat the midnight snack she made herself.
Since Mei Shu was a bit hungry as well, she decided to wash up and go to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly came over to stop her, “Miss, let me do it. 1 want to personally cook some dishes for my daughter that she used to love when she was little.”
Mei Shu smiled and pointed towards the direction of the door, “That won’t do. My brother is still waiting. How about this, I’ll cook first, and then you can do it. We’ll each make three dishes. What do you think?”
“Sure.” Chen Feng agreed readily. However, despite his words, he didn’t leave the kitchen. Instead, he continued to assist Mei Shu.
By the time the two finished their preparations, the people at the dining table were already chatting amicably.
Chen Guo had a cheerful personality, and she became more outgoing after getting acquainted with people.
Mei Yan kept pulling her aside to inquire about Mei Jing’s embarrassing stories at school, but Chen Guo kept praising how impressive Mei Jing was in school.
Listening to this, Mei Yan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Forget it. I won’t ask anymore. 1 knew you and Second Brother are on the same side!”
Mei Feng rubbed his head with a smile. “Alright, it’s her first time at our house. How can she badmouth Ah Jing? Wait until she comes a few more times, and you’ll get to hear what you want to hear!”
Mei Yan’s eyes lit up. “Sister Guoguo, is that true?”
Chen Guo couldn’t help but smirk and nodded, “Yes, if your brother embarrasses himself at school, I’ll definitely let you know.”
“Hey, Guoguo, whose side are you on?” Mei Jing complained unhappily.
Chen Guo suddenly thought of something, her expression turning a bit desolate. “It’s just that we’re already in the third year of junior high. All Jing and I might only be classmates for the last month. Even if I want to tell you, I won’t be able to.”
“What’s so difficult about that? Let my sister figure it out, arrange for you and Mei Jing to go to the same school. How about that?” Mei Yan generously offered to help Mei Shu take care of the matter.
Mei Feng tapped his forehead as a punishment. “Don’t talk nonsense. Guoguo is a good student. Sister should think of ways to get Ah Jing into the good school that she will attend.”
“Hey, you two are too much!” Mei Jing was completely annoyed. He slapped the table and said fiercely, “Just wait, I’ll definitely get good grades in this midterm exam to show you!”
Chen Guo quickly joined the lively atmosphere.
“What are you all talking about so happily?” Mei Shu, who had helped to set the table, took the initiative to make way for Chen Feng to sit next to his daughter.
Chen Feng was naturally grateful.
He worked particularly hard today, deliberately making some relatively difficult dishes. His body was covered with the smell of cooking oil, but Mei Shu and the others had good manners and didn’t mind the smell. Instead, they valued his hard work.
After Mei Yan finished Mei Shu’s dishes, he went to eat the dishes Chen Feng made. His face was satisfied as he said, “The dishes you made are all delicious! At this rate, I might be turned into a little fat ball by you all!”
He was young and cute, so his words instantly drew laughter from everyone. For a while, everyone’s attention was focused on him.
Only Mei Shu’s peripheral vision noticed Chen Guo’s face, which turned disgusted as she deliberately avoided Chen Feng.
Her smile froze on her face, and she began to carefully observe the girl in front of her.
She found that every time Chen Feng actively picked up food for Chen Guo, she seemed to force herself to swallow it with a look of disgust.
After several times, even Mei Shu couldn’t bear it. She took out a pair of public chopsticks and handed them to Chen Feng. “Uncle Chen, use these.”
Chen Feng also smiled awkwardly, “It’s my oversight.. Guoguo, let me use these clean chopsticks to pick up the food for you!”
