Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Ah, Comrade Old Chen, You Just Spoil It Too Much

「An hour later.」

"Mom, come and eat first. The food’s going to get cold!"

"Just leave the food there. It’ll eat when it’s hungry. Don’t worry about it!"

Gu Yizhou said while eating his meal.

"You eat first. I need to finish feeding Xiaobai."

Chen Dongmei said, waving her hand.

After speaking, she continued to break the shrimp into tiny pieces to feed the little white cat, her eyes filled with adoration!

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou got a little jealous. "Mom, that’s a heartless little idiot cat. It just tried to bite me, and you’re still spoiling it!"

"MEOW~"

Yan Luoxi let out a displeased cry at Gu Yizhou. Then, while eating the food Chen Dongmei was feeding her, she shot him provocative glances from time to time.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

That smug little look left Gu Yizhou speechless.

’Be smug all you want, you dumb little cat!’

’Once my mom leaves, we’ll see how I deal with you!’

’I’ll starve you for two meals!’

’Let’s see how cocky you are then!’

A wicked thought crossed Gu Yizhou’s mind, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up.

Seeing the smile on his lips, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but shiver!

’His smile is so twisted!’

’What kind of perverted, evil idea is that scumbag cooking up now?????’

...

「Afternoon, 2:30 PM.」

In the kitchen.

Gu Yizhou looked at his once-empty refrigerator, which was now stuffed completely full!

He was both touched and a little exasperated. "Mom, with all this food, how long is it going to take me to eat all of it?"

"Enough nonsense!"

"I’ve already portioned out your meals for the next week. All you have to do is heat them up in a pot when you get home from work!"

"Eat less takeout, you hear me!"

Chen Dongmei said to Gu Yizhou.

"I know, Mom!"

What else could Gu Yizhou say? He could only nod obediently.

Still, his heart was filled with warmth.

’This kind of family love is something I never got to experience in my past life.’

"Alright, that’s everything. I’m heading back now. Take care of yourself when you’re alone, and don’t stay up too late!"

Chen Dongmei closed the refrigerator door and clapped her hands together.

"Mom, why don’t you stay? You came all this way, you should stay a few more days."

Gu Yizhou said, suddenly reluctant to see her go.

Chen Dongmei’s eyes widened. "You only have one room. If I don’t go back, where would I sleep?"

"Er... I can sleep on the sofa!"

Gu Yizhou offered.

"Forget it!"

"If I don’t go back, your dad will probably be calling any minute now!"

Chen Dongmei said.

"Don’t worry about Dad. If he calls, I’ll talk to him!"

"Later, I’ll take you out shopping and buy you some new clothes!"

Gu Yizhou said with a grin.

Chen Dongmei was tempted, but she still shook her head and refused. "Forget it. I’m afraid your dad will starve to death at home all by himself!"

"Uh..."

"Dad’s a grown man. It can’t be that bad, can it?"

"Old Chen... honestly, Mom, you spoil him too much!"

Gu Yizhou said.

"Alright, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!"

Chen Dongmei shot Gu Yizhou a look and said irritably, "You’re probably dying for me to leave so there’s no one here to boss you around!"

"You’ve wronged me, Mom! I’ve never thought that!"

Gu Yizhou hurriedly professed his loyalty.

"Alright, I can’t be bothered to argue with you!"

"That’s that. I have to hurry back and make dinner for your dad!"

"I’m off!"

After saying her piece, Chen Dongmei grabbed her bag and left without a second glance.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou, though reluctant, didn’t say anything more.

Suddenly, Chen Dongmei, who had already reached the door, seemed to remember something. She turned her head and said to Gu Yizhou, "Don’t forget what you promised me!"

"Huh???"

Gu Yizhou didn’t react for a moment. "What promise?" he asked, looking completely lost.

Seeing him play dumb, the smile on Chen Dongmei’s face instantly froze.

She said with a deadpan expression, "You promised me you would bring a girlfriend home for New Year’s this year!"

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou fell silent instantly.

After a long pause, he looked at his mother and said mournfully, "Comrade Old Chen, could we not bring up such divisive topics at a sad moment of parting like this?"

"Piss off!"

Chen Dongmei’s face darkened, and her tone turned icy. "Don’t make me slap you across the face before I leave!"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"Mom, you should hurry and go! You’re running out of time! If you don’t leave now, you’ll miss the three o’clock bus!"

"Here, Mom, let me carry your bag for you. Let’s go!"

"Heh heh heh..."

Gu Yizhou said, hastily trying to change the subject.

"..."

’Talk about a quick change of face.’

Chen Dongmei was so exasperated she laughed. Although she knew he was avoiding the topic, there was nothing she could do about it for the moment.

She slapped Gu Yizhou’s "paw" away and said irritably, "Alright, stop pretending. It’s not like I don’t know the way. I don’t need you to see me out!"

"Er... heh heh heh..."

Gu Yizhou was a little awkward and could only use laughter to hide his embarrassment.

"If you don’t bring a daughter-in-law home for New Year’s this year, then you don’t have to come back either!"

Chen Dongmei declared.

"Mom, that’s not... aren’t you just making things difficult for your son? Look, New Year’s isn’t that far away. Finding a girlfriend takes time, you know?"

Gu Yizhou said helplessly, "Where am I supposed to find you a daughter-in-law? I can’t just go out on the street and kidnap one, can I?"

"That’s your problem!"

Chen Dongmei shot him a look. "Anyway, I don’t care. If you bring a girlfriend home for New Year’s, there will be good food and wine waiting for you. If you come back by yourself, there will be ’stir-fried pork with a rattan cane’ waiting for you!"

Gu Yizhou: "...-_-||"

’Stir-fried pork with a rattan cane...’

’Definitely my birth mother!’

His face was a mask of bitterness, and he was speechless.

"Alright, I’m not dead yet! Stop making that long face!"

Chen Dongmei said peevishly, "You’re making it seem like I’m really giving you a hard time!"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Dongmei added, "You know, that Little Su from this morning seemed pretty good!"

"You could consider her!"

...

Without waiting for Gu Yizhou to respond, she turned and left.

Watching his mother’s disappearing back, Gu Yizhou’s mouth opened slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.

"Sigh~"

He let out a soft sigh, then closed the door, turned around, and walked back to sit on the living room sofa.

Suddenly, he noticed that fellow Xiaobai lying on the other end of the sofa, staring intently at him.

"What are you looking at, you dumb little cat!"

Gu Yizhou snapped.

Yan Luoxi: "..."

"MEOW~!"

"HISS~!"

’Scumbag!!!’

Yan Luoxi hissed at him, cursing under her breath.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Gu Yizhou’s mother had already gone downstairs.

"Hey, ma’am, excuse me. I’d like to ask, is this Building Seven, Unit Three?"

Chen Dongmei was suddenly stopped by someone.

She stopped and turned to see an elegantly dressed, middle-aged woman appear before her...
