Chapter 70

Early morning the next day, Shang Jin received a phone call from his home.

Shang Qingping said disgruntledly, “Do you still know to go home?”

This voice was so loud that even Ye Zhou, who was reading to the side, put down his book and cast him a worried glance.

Shang Jin stood up. Calculating the time, he hadn’t gone home for nearly three months. “If you want me to come back, I have to bring him with me.”

“Didn’t I tell you to give me time to adapt?”

“Did you give me time to adapt when you found Auntie?”

In a sentence, he blocked Shang Qingping and left him completely speechless.

After a while, the phone changed hands and Qin Fei said softly, “Shang Jin, your dad has accepted it. He called you today because he wanted you to bring Ye Zhou over. He’s mature enough to know that he hadn’t handled it well before, but he also can’t put down his face. Just take it as giving him a way out and come eat dinner tonight.”

“That’s fine.”

Shang Jin turned around and looking at Ye Zhou’s trusting eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt. He coughed and said, “Tonight…”

Ye Zhou curiously said, “What’s wrong?”

Shang Jin rapidly said, “Let’s go have a meal at my house today.”

“Ah??” Ye Zhou said incredulously, “I just met your mother yesterday, and you’re asking me to meet your father today?”

“You need to meet them sooner or later. I think the sooner the better.” Shang Jin sat beside Ye Zhou and held Ye Zhou’s hand in his palm. “It’s not like we’d separate after a long time. Since delaying can’t solve the problem, it’s better to let them accept it earlier and get accustomed to us being together a bit earlier.”

Ye Zhou thought it sounded quite reasonable, but: “It’s too sudden…”

“It’s okay. You still have a day to prepare. They said that we should come over for dinner.”

Saying it like that, Ye Zhou also wouldn’t go so far as to decline. He thought about going to the mall in the afternoon to buy a gift, but in the end, he was overruled by Shang Jin.

“You’re still a student. Even if you bought it, they also wouldn’t accept it. Don’t waste your money.” Shang Jin pulled him to the fruit shop and said, “It’s enough to buy two pounds of apples.”

In the evening, Ye Zhou really carried two pounds of apple to the community.

“Little Ye, long time no see!”

“Little Ye, do you have time over the Eleventh holiday? Could you help tutor Little Hao for two days? His grades can’t go up again.”

“Brother Ye, come play ball!”

“Brother Ye Zhou, come visit my house?”

Shang Jin watched Ye Zhou smile and greet his neighbors along the way, his mouth never staying idle.

Finally in Shang Jin’s building, Ye Zhou rubbed his cheeks already numb from smiling and said, “The people in your community are really enthusiastic.”
