[People only chatted with me because of group assignments. What was I thinking about? 】
Yun Chen didn't think much and put the phone screen aside.
But not long after he put it down, his phone buzzed. Yun Chen picked it up and saw that it was Ye Yutong who asked if he could take a picture of the exercise book for her. She accidentally forgot it at school. Yun Chen immediately took out the exercise book from his schoolbag.
I took a photo and sent it to her.
[But if you want an exercise book, Ye Yutong can definitely ask someone else. She plays well with many girls in the class, why should she ask me? 】
Yun Chen shook his head and reminded himself not to think too much. The person might just have remembered this incident while chatting with him. He could not think that Ye Yutong had thoughts about him because of these things.
Ye Yutong: "Thank you [animated expression]"
Ye Yutong: "Have you read today's special episode?"
Yun Chen: "I didn't read anything at night. I'll catch up when I have time."
Speaking of which, Ye Yutong had always mistakenly thought that Yun Chen was a loyal fan of "Transformation Magical Biker". Although Yun Chen used to make fun of it and would accompany Lin Xi to watch it, he was not considered a loyal fan.
Ye Yutong: "Okay"
Yun Chen did not reply to her message again. Although he knew that this was a good opportunity to chat with Ye Yutong to get closer, Yun Chen really didn't know what to talk to Ye Yutong. If he said something bad, it would be better not to say it, so
Yun Chen simply stopped talking.
On Sunday morning, a guest came to Yun Chen's house, but he was more of a host than a guest. Yun Chen's father was back.
"Yun Chen! Don't you remember me?"
When my father saw Yun Chen, he came up and hugged him tightly.
Yun Chen just woke up and was still in a daze.
But Yun Chen suddenly thought that Lin Xi was still at home. Although Lin Hao had rewritten his mother's memory, his father had just come back and saw that there was an extra girl in the house. He definitely couldn't explain it.
Yun Chen suddenly woke up and took his father to go out, saying he was going to have breakfast.
"Why are you in a hurry? I haven't put down my luggage yet. Why don't you let me sit down for a while when I get home? I haven't been back for so long that I almost forgot what it was like."
Dad left Yun Chen behind, dragged his luggage and sat on the sofa. He was still very tired just after returning from work.
Yun Chen could only sit down. When he saw his father's skin, which had darkened a few degrees, and his dirty clothes, he knew that his father was having a lot of fun outside. He also knew that his father would inevitably be scolded by his mother.
"This is a photo I asked my friend to take in Africa. Isn't it pretty good?"
Yun Chen's father took out a stack of photos from his backpack and placed them on the coffee table.
"Yeah, let's go have breakfast first! Come back and take your time, you haven't seen mom yet! How about we go to the noodle shop now!"
Yun Chen answered perfunctorily, just wanting to drag his father out quickly.
"Hey, look what I brought you."
Dad stretched out a finger towards Yun Chen to signal him to calm down, and then took out a plastic bag containing a bowl from another bag.
Yun Chen thought the packaging looked strangely familiar.
"You didn't expect it! I just saw your mother come back from the store, and she even packed a breakfast for you."
Dad said with a smile.
【Dad, why are you so smart!】
At this time, Lin Xi also walked out of the room, with her hair disheveled and rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up.
Although Yun Chen wanted to stop him, his father had already turned his head.
【How should I explain to my dad that I have an extra cousin?】
Yun Chen's brain was spinning rapidly.
"Lin Xi, I bought you breakfast, come and eat it!"
Unexpectedly, my father immediately recognized Lin Xi and warmly invited her to come over for breakfast.
"oh"
Lin Xi saw that her father was a little dazed, and then she realized that she reached out and said hello to her father:
"Hello, uncle!"
Yun Chen looked at his father in surprise. It seemed that Lin Hao had rewritten his memory.
Lin Xi seemed to get along particularly well with her father. She was very interested in the photos of African animals that her father brought back. Her father was also very happy to see someone liking the photos.
"Lin Xi, you are much more discerning than Yun Chen. This guy is not interested in these photos at all."
Yun Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lin Xi's identity was not exposed.
Dad then opened the suitcase and took out his things. Lin Xi sat on the sofa and looked at the photos, as if she had discovered a new world.
"Yun Chen, what is this?"
Lin Xi took out a photo of an elephant and asked him.
"Elephant, you don't know."
"I've heard of it but never seen it. It must be able to eat when it grows so big." Lin Xi became very interested in elephants. "It would be much easier to eat if I also had an elephant's trunk."
Yun Chen's mind pictured Lin Xi with an elephant's trunk and sitting on the sofa eating potato chips with his trunk.
Yun Chen walked to his father's room and saw that he was still putting things away. He leaned against the wall and asked casually:
"How many days will we stay here this time, Dad?"
Dad raised his head and stretched out his fingers to count.
"It will take about a week. Next week our team will go to various places to shoot some local characteristics. Maybe it can be featured on TV."
Yun Chen thinks that one week is quite short, but he has long been accustomed to his father's work arrangement.
"Yun Chen, I heard from your mother that your grades have improved a lot recently, and you go to your English teacher's house every day after school to make up lessons."
"Um."
Yun Chen nodded, never expecting that his father, who was busy outside every day, would still care about his studies.
"Your mother and I are very busy and seldom take care of you. I feel relieved if you do this." Dad said, taking out his wallet from his pocket and taking out some money. "I heard your mother say
You have to take care of Lin Xi all the time. It’s really good for you to do this at your age. Let this money be used as a reward for you.”
Yun Chen pushed his father's hand back and shook his head, saying that he would not accept the money. The main reason was that Yun Chen had done a lot of tasks and had a lot of savings, and his consumption was not high and he had nothing to buy.
"This is not like you. You used to beg me for money, but now you don't want it when I give it to you."
Dad was a little uncomfortable with Yun Chen's reaction, but at the same time he felt that his son had grown up.
"Dad, if you have money, why not buy yourself some good equipment."
Yun Chen said.
"Don't you always think it's a waste to spend so much money on so much equipment just to take a few photos and videos?"
"I definitely wouldn't spend money on this, but don't you like photography?"
Dad smiled and patted Yun Chen on the shoulder.
Although Yun Chen doesn't like photography, he has always understood his father's hobbies. It is really not easy for someone at such an old age to turn his hobbies into a career.
