Chapter 151 The eldest son is disliked 16
Meanwhile, Chu Yijing returned home. As soon as he opened the door, his parents, who were sitting in the living room making dumplings, turned around and stared in astonishment at their eldest son who had just entered. A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Then, I looked behind my son, and there was no one there!
The surprise vanished instantly, replaced by utter disgust.
Chu's mother, also known as Ms. Liu Zhixue, had a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Chu's father, also known as Mr. Chu Ci, looked at his eldest son at the door with a look of disappointment and frustration.
Chu Yijing walked in carrying gifts he bought for his parents, looking completely bewildered. "Dad, Mom, what's wrong? Are you so happy to see your son back?"
Both of Chu's parents looked away with disgust.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, as if we were in perfect sync: No wonder you're single.
Ms. Liu Zhixue sat steadily in her chair, not moving an inch, and continued wrapping dumplings as usual. She spoke first, "Why are you back? You just came back by yourself?"
Chu Yijing put everything down, looking equally bewildered. "Otherwise what?"
His parents are acting strangely.
Father Chu shook his head. This silly boy was nothing like his own son when he was young.
You should know that when he was young, he fell in love with his wife at first sight, and upon seeing her again, he was completely smitten. He chased after her to her hometown and launched a swift and decisive attack.
Fortunately, he acted quickly enough, otherwise... hmph, his eldest son would still be nowhere to be found!
Liu Zhixue squeezed the dumpling in her hand hard. "What else? What else could you possibly want? You just left that girl alone in Kunming for the New Year?! How could I have such a stupid son like you? It's all Old Chu's fault, he dragged down my IQ for no reason!!!"
As she spoke, Ms. Liu Zhixue glared at her eldest son, who was all height and no brains, and then gave Mr. Chu Ci beside her a disdainful look.
Mr. Chu Ci looked aggrieved. What did it have to do with him? He was very smart, okay? Did he think he couldn't allow the next generation to have genetic mutations?
Then, he glared at his eldest son who had walked up to him. "Son, didn't you like the florist? Didn't you say her parents were gone? You came back all by yourself, leaving a young woman alone in Kunming for the New Year? Is this the attitude a suitor should have?"
Upon hearing his father's words, Chu Yijing froze for a moment as he was about to sit down. A blush crept across his face, and he awkwardly asked, "How... how did you know that I... I like the florist's wife?"
The voices grew softer and softer, but fortunately, everyone was sitting around the table, and Chu's parents, who were still young, could hear them clearly.
Seeing their son's expression, like a young girl caught in the throes of first love whose secret had been exposed, they all said they couldn't bear to look.
You're over 1.8 meters tall, yet you act like such a timid wife, making your elderly parents wonder if they raised a daughter instead of a son.
Hmph, how would they know? You can tell from the snippets of conversations between them during video calls that their son is clearly deeply in love with that florist named Qing Ziyue.
Moreover, they're not outdated old-fashioned people; their internet speed is usually quite fast, and they surf the internet quite often.
You should know that both the son's dessert shop and his neighbor's flower shop are popular online, and you can find some information about them online.
They only have this one child, so they naturally pay a lot of attention to him.
That naturally led to my attention being drawn to some... well, some weird forums.
Many people online have paired up the florist and the dessert shop owner, calling them a couple. They're the biggest fans of this pairing!
She's obsessed with shipping couples online every day, but in reality, her son is still secretly in love with her, and his identity remains unknown.
Every time they video chatted with their son, they would subtly remind him that if he liked someone, he should be bold and go for it...
But the son still hasn't shown any signs of life.
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, their son hasn't mentioned coming home. They thought he had finally taken the plunge, that his unrequited love had blossomed, and that he was staying with his girlfriend instead of coming back for the holiday.
The couple was naturally delighted with this, and right now, while they were making dumplings, they were also excitedly discussing what kind of gift they would prepare for their daughter-in-law when they met her.
The results of it? ? ?
Ha ha!
Those two old guys are really more worried than the emperor himself.
Pshaw, those two aren't eunuchs!
Moreover, since their son was born, he has never left their side. He went to university locally, and every year the three of them spend the Spring Festival together. Can't the couple have some time alone together?
What, are they not good enough for each other?
Mr. Chu had a lot to say about this, and he wished he could immediately pack up his troublesome son and send him to the boss's wife so he could spend some time alone with his wife.
When Chu Yijing learned of his parents' thoughts, he realized that his little schemes had been completely exposed to them. Was he really that obvious? Was he really that obvious?
Did Ziyue also know his feelings? And why did she allow him to stay with her all the time? Did she also have feelings for him... cough cough... in that sense?
Chu Yijing's heart pounded at the thought, and he quickly stood up. "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving. I wish you a happy new year, good health, and all the best. I'm going to find your daughter-in-law."
As he was about to rush towards the door, Ms. Liu Zhixue reacted quickly and stopped him, saying, "Wait, wait, wait. Book your tickets first, and I'll prepare some things for you. Take them with you before you leave."
As he spoke, he patted the flour off his hands, went into the kitchen, washed and dried his hands, grabbed a bag, and started packing.
Chu's father helped from the side.
As Ms. Liu Zhixue packed the food, she said, “This is my homemade sweet and sour pickled mustard greens. I remember you said that Ziyue likes sweet and sour food. This pickled mustard greens will definitely suit her taste. She can eat it with porridge in the morning, or with steamed buns or wontons. It’s especially refreshing.”
"These are sausages made by Grandma Wang downstairs. It's her specialty. They're delicious stir-fried or steamed with rice!"
"This is……"
Chu Yijing took out his phone to book a ticket while watching his parents busily preparing things for him, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
"Alright, get lost. If you're not bringing our daughter-in-law back with you, then don't bother coming back at all. Don't interfere with my and your mother's time together."
The door slammed shut with a "bang."
Chu Yijing blinked, pulling on the suitcase in his hand, as if he felt a cool breeze.
If you add a few swirling fallen leaves and a mournful flute melody, it's guaranteed to make you feel like you're being kicked out of the house by your elderly parents—a truly awful and miserable scene!
So, your son isn't as important as your daughter-in-law?
Is he still their most beloved baby?
The baby is upset, but the baby...
Wait, let's hurry and catch the train, my girlfriend is more important!
Immediately, Chu Yijing picked up his suitcase, turned around, and left.

Here, Ziyue stayed in the flower shop and sprinkled all the flowers with diluted spiritual spring water. This way, even if it takes ten days or half a month, the flowers will definitely not wither and will still grow very well.
It was already 7 p.m., and because it was New Year's Eve, people on the beach had spontaneously started setting off fireworks in twos and threes.
Even during the Spring Festival, Kunming still attracts many tourists. Because Kunming enjoys a spring-like climate all year round, many people choose to spend the winter in the city and celebrate the festival there. In addition, Kunming has always had a lot of festival activities.
The fireworks display by the sea is one of the biggest highlights this year.
This was unprecedented, but this year, thanks to online voting, the seaside fireworks show was unanimously chosen by netizens, topping the list by a wide margin.
This shows that many people really love beautiful fireworks!
It's truly an activity that everyone, regardless of age or gender, will enjoy; there's no other like it.
The fireworks show lasts from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., a full hour.
It can be said that the celebrations continue from the old year into the new year.
It was still early and she wasn't hungry, so Ziyue went into the studio, planning to have a late-night snack after she finished painting and watch the fireworks.
Her location is excellent; you don't have to stand on the crowded beach outside, and you can have a clear view from your own balcony.
Ziyue was completely absorbed in her work, and so engrossed that it was past ten o'clock when she came to her senses.
Ziyue tidied up her art supplies and then prepared to cook some dumplings to celebrate the occasion.
As soon as I opened the door to the art studio, I saw—
