Chen ShiYi was shocked by Lin YaZhi’s attire but managed to calm down soon after. She told the father and son duo: “You guys wait here. I’ll go pick him up.”

The jubilant Lin YaZhi answered: “I’ll go down with you. I rarely dress so formally, so its a bit wasteful if I don’t wear it around.” It was apparent that he wanted to flaunt a little.

Chen ShiYi replied: “….no, thanks.” She couldn’t afford to lose right at the starting line!

Lin YaZhi was puzzled. “Why?”

Chen ShiYi was feeling quite depressed. It’s only been a few months since they last saw each other, yet why did it seem like Lin YaZhi had more shortcomings than before, ah?

Lin Qian could barely hold his laughter back. He stopped Lin YaZhi and said: “Don’t go. It’s dusty outside; you’ll get your clothes dirty.”

Lin YaZhi thought that made sense. Feeling a little disappointed, he told Chen ShiYi: “Alright, then hurry back.”

Afraid that Lin YaZhi would change his mind, Chen ShiYi quickly ran out of the front door. As Lin YaZhi watched her go, he uttered a sigh. “She looks so anxious. And no wonder, she hasn’t seen her son in so long. She must miss him terribly.”

Lin Qian: “….”

……

As she walked downstairs, Chen ShiYi thought that maybe she’d get lucky. It’s been a while since she last saw Zheng PingQing, and according to his personality of ‘liking the new and hating the old,’ he probably hasn’t worn that particular outfit in a long time. So even if he did see Lin Qian wearing an outfit he had, perhaps Zheng PingQing wouldn’t mind.

With this thought, Chen ShiYi’s mind settled down a little, and she pressed a finger on the space between her brows.

Trying to handle the relationship between the two children as gently as possible left her nervous and exhausted.

Chen ShiYi and Lin YaZhi were the types of people who stayed in their research labs all year round. They had neglected to communicate with their children in the past, and Zheng PingQing and Lin Qian would be even more sensitive now that they were in the middle of adolescence. If they don’t tread carefully and accidentally say do something inconsiderate, their children might end up thinking they were biased.

This was exactly what happened with Zheng PingQing last time. Back then, Chen ShiYi had thought that because she wasn’t familiar with Lin Qian, she wasn’t in any position to talk to him about getting along with her son. But after some careful thought, Chen ShiYi still hoped that he and Zheng PingQing would get along. Zheng PingQing was alone in Rong City, and she had wished that Zheng PingQing could let go of his resentments and live a happier life.

Even while she tried to rid her heart of any excessive expectations, a part of Chen ShiYi had still wished for the tense relationship between the children to ease. Because then, more people could accompany Zheng PingQing and look after him.

But in the end, she hadn’t managed to express her intentions correctly. Zheng PingQing had exploded on the spot.

It took Chen ShiYi a long time to realize that what she had said was wrong.

Oh, she had been extremely foolish in her words!

To this day, she still a little anxious about what she had done. But for some reason, her son, who had an ‘attack the heavens, attack the earth‘ sort of temperament ever since he was a child, didn’t make trouble for Lin Qian afterward. It was an unexpected blessing that made Chen ShiYi feel very fortunate.
