224: Yang's mother: I hope they will have a big, healthy son.

Waking up the next morning, Chen Le felt his head was a bit groggy.

Glancing to his side, Yang Mi looked peaceful, lying on the bed still in her dreams.

Chen Le didn't remember what happened last night; he only had a vague impression.

Helpless, he could only get up first to wash up.

After washing up, Chen Le looked at the clothes he was wearing, which were clearly different from yesterday's. He was a bit surprised, but after thinking about it, he realized Yang Mi must have changed them for him.

After all, he didn't think he could change his own clothes while drunk; it was already good enough that he hadn't thrown up.

By the time he finished washing up, Yang Mi had also woken up.

Seeing that Chen Le wasn't beside her, she also got out of bed.

Seeing Yang Mi walk out of the room, Chen Le asked with a smile, "Mi Mi, I was drunk last night. Did you help me change my clothes?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded and said, "Yeah, the smell of alcohol on you was too strong."

"Then I didn't do anything embarrassing last night, did I?" Chen Le followed up.

He was a bit afraid of making a fool of himself; if Father Yang and Mother Yang saw it, it would leave a bad impression.

Hearing Chen Le's words, Yang Mi was about to say something, but thinking of what happened last night, her face flushed slightly and she shook her head, saying, "No."

What happened yesterday was truly hard to talk about. If her parents heard about it, she would probably die of social embarrassment.

Fortunately, no such social death event occurred.

Just as the two of them got up, Mother Yang had already prepared the meal.

Father Yang had also woken up and was sunbathing in the courtyard.

Seeing Chen Le and Yang Mi coming downstairs, Mother Yang immediately smiled and said, "You're up! Come and have breakfast."

As she spoke, she placed the noodles she had boiled onto the table.

“Okay, thank you, Auntie.” Chen Le nodded with a smile.

“Did you two sleep well last night?” Mother Yang asked, looking at them with a smile.

Her smile made Yang Mi feel a bit uneasy, unsure of what her mother meant by asking that.

However, Mother Yang didn't say anything more, maintaining her beaming expression.

At this time, Father Yang walked in.

The four of them sat around the table and ate breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Yang Mi and Chen Le walked out into the courtyard.

Father Yang and Mother Yang watched the two with affectionate gazes. Once they were further away, Mother Yang said with a smile,

“I hope Mi Mi and Little Le have a big, chubby boy soon. Whether they get married or not is up to them.”

Father Yang didn't say anything from the side, only nodding his head.

They were nearing retirement now and just wanted a grandson to keep them company.

The two people strolling outside at this moment were unaware of Father Yang and Mother Yang's thoughts.

At this time, Yang Mi was excitedly introducing him to things from her childhood and interesting stories from her youth.

Chen Le also curiously observed his surroundings.

Although he had been here many times, he had never looked at these things closely.

Firstly, he wasn't familiar with them, and secondly, he was too lazy to move around.

Now that Yang Mi was leading the way and telling him interesting stories about her childhood, he naturally listened with great interest.

Walking down the road, there were many elderly people and children sitting by the alleys sunbathing.

Under a large tree, Chen Le saw a group of elderly men gathered around a stone table, which seemed to have something on it.

Getting closer, he saw it was actually a chessboard, and two elderly men were playing Xiangqi.

Chen Le and Yang Mi's approach was immediately noticed. Seeing Yang Mi, these elderly people all smiled and called out, "Mi Mi, why is a girl like you back? We haven't seen you back in a long time."

Seeing these elderly people, Yang Mi smiled and greeted them one by one.

These were all her elders. When she was a child, the children of the neighborhood all played together, and these elderly people had always been here.

Now, after so many years, many of them were still alive and well.

With nothing to do, as long as it wasn't raining or snowing, they were basically always here.

“Mi Mi, is this your boyfriend?” An elderly man in a gray robe saw Chen Le and looked at him with bright, piercing eyes.

“Yes, he's my boyfriend. His name is Chen Le.” Yang Mi introduced Chen Le to them with a smile.

This was the first time Chen Le had been introduced this way by Yang Mi, and he felt a bit awkward.

Afterward, Chen Le also smiled and greeted the elderly men.

“Hello, Uncles and Grandpas. I’m Mi Mi’s boyfriend.”

Seeing the way these old men were looking him over, Chen Le felt like a monkey being watched in a zoo, and he was the monkey.

“This young man is quite handsome. Mi Mi, you have good taste.” At this time, an older woman walked over, saw Chen Le, and praised him with a smile.

Yang Mi hadn't even gotten embarrassed yet, but Chen Le was already feeling shy.

Sure enough, no matter the era, middle-aged women were all the same.

The two didn't respond to the woman. Seeing this, the old men stopped teasing them and went back to watching the chess game.

Seeing the chessboard, Chen Le didn't rush to leave but joined the old men in watching the Xiangqi game.

Beside him, an old man looked at Chen Le with a smile and said, "Young man, do you like playing chess too?"

“No, I don't really play, but I like watching it.” Chen Le said with a smile.

He was telling the truth. Although he didn't play much, he enjoyed watching.

Compared to playing yourself, watching others play was much more fun.

Just like now, with two old men playing, the group of old men surrounding them were more anxious than the players themselves, arguing boisterously.

Each of them was competing to say how the move should be played.

After watching for a while, Chen Le left with Yang Mi.

He was afraid he'd get too engrossed and lose track of time.

After strolling with Yang Mi for a bit, the two returned to Yang Mi's home.

By this time, it was already past eleven o'clock.

As soon as they returned, they smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen.

At this moment, Mother Yang was carrying a dish out of the kitchen.

Chen Le immediately stepped forward to help, and in a short while, the table was filled with food.

“Mom, is lunch ready so early today?” Yang Mi said with some surprise, seeing that it wasn't even twelve o'clock yet.

“Yes, after you went out, I went to buy groceries and just finished cooking when I got back.” Mother Yang nodded with a smile.

At this time, Father Yang also walked over.

Seeing that the meal was ready, he beckoned Chen Le over.

At the dining table, Father Yang wanted to continue drinking, but he was intimidated by a glare from Mother Yang.

“Little Le, are you heading back after lunch?” Mother Yang asked.

“Yes, we’ll probably head back right after eating.” Chen Le nodded.

Hearing this, Mother Yang nodded and said, "Alright, be careful on your way back this afternoon. Come and visit more often in the future, and don't work too hard."

Yang Mi didn't say anything as she listened to her mother's nagging.

Chen Le, on the other hand, was all smiles. If Mother Yang was willing to nag him, it meant she had definitely accepted him and treated him as family.

In the afternoon, after finishing their meal and sitting for a while to digest, they finally drove back.

Mother Yang carried some food in her hands and handed it to Chen Le and Yang Mi. "Take these with you. It's homemade food; you can cook it yourselves when you get back."

Chen Le took it with a smile and then got into the car.
