"Dad, Mom, come help me cook,"
Xiaogang called out to Wu Neng and Xiaomi to join him.
Wu Neng was naturally quick.
However, Xiaogang's mother, Xiaomi, gazed at Ye Feng with a reluctant expression.
Ye Feng surveyed Xiaogang's home, noticing that the renovations seemed to have changed over the past ten years.
So he said, "Xiaogang, has your home's renovation style changed?"
Xiaogang, stir-frying vegetables in the kitchen, replied, "Yes, Brother Ye Feng. By the way, Xiaowu, why don't you show Brother Ye Feng around?"
Xiaowu Qiao Yi, who had been sitting at the table, stood up.
"Okay."
Immediately, Xiaowu Qiao Yi led Ye Feng on a tour of the first floor.
They moved to the second floor, and as soon as they arrived, Xiaowu Qiao Yi pulled Ye Feng into a small room.
Upon entering, Xiaowu Qiao Yi kissed Ye Feng.
After a long while,
Xiaowu Qiao Yi pressed her pretty face against Ye Feng's chest and whispered shyly, "Brother Ye Feng, you haven't visited me in ten years. Do you not love me anymore? Or are you tired of me?"
"I understand. You must be tired of me becoming your woman, but still having to be with Xiaogang, right? Don't worry, every time he tried to do that these past ten years, I would knock him out, making him think he had already done it. I am always your woman."
Ye Feng was about to speak, but found that Xiaowu Qiao Yi had taken the initiative.
Xiaowu Qiao Yi said, "Brother Ye Feng, we haven't seen each other in ten years. You used to be in control, but today it's my turn."
Xiaowu Qiao Yi thus held the initiative for an hour.
When Xiaogang called from downstairs, "Dinner is ready!"
They reluctantly ended their embrace and parted.
They went downstairs to eat.
The diners were still the same group.
Wu Neng, Xiaomi, Xiaogang, Xiaowu Qiao Yi, and our handsome Ye Feng.
There were five people, but the table was laden with thirty dishes.
Braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, all perfectly presented in color, aroma, and taste. Xiaogang's cooking skills had clearly improved over the past decade.
These dishes clearly indicated that Ye Feng's arrival was considered a distinguished guest in Xiaogang's heart.
As they ate, the group chatted, reminiscing about what they had experienced over the years.
Just as everyone was happily chatting, Xiaogang suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Ye Feng, you must have had another reason for visiting me so suddenly, right?"
Ye Feng nodded. "Yes, actually, I'm out this time, including coming to your place, to find Xiaozhi."
"Xiaozhi?"
Xiaogang looked confused. "What happened to Xiaozhi?"
Ye Feng sighed. "That kid Xiaozhi hasn't been back in ten years. I can't reach him by phone or text; it's like he vanished into thin air."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaogang's face was filled with shock. He said, "Brother Ye Feng, surely not? Although I haven't seen Xiaozhi face-to-face these past ten years, we've been in contact. We even video-called not too long ago."
Saying this, he took out his phone and showed it to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng saw that Xiaozhi had indeed maintained contact with Xiaogang.
"Brother Ye Feng, then it's very strange. If he's not coming home and doesn't want to be contacted by you, does he have some difficult situation? Or some other reason?"
Ye Feng replied, "I don't know, I really don't know."
Ye Feng feigned a pained expression. "Do you know how much Aunt Huazi misses Xiaozhi? But alas!"
"Don't be sad, I'll contact Xiaozhi right now."
Xiaogang sent a message to Xiaozhi, telling him that Ye Feng was at his place and looking for him, and asking him to return quickly.
But strangely, Xiaogang's messages to Xiaozhi were usually replied to within three hours. Now, it was evening, and there was still no reply.
Xiaogang could tell that Xiaozhi likely had some unspoken reason.
Therefore, he could only tell Ye Feng the truth, that he couldn't help.
Ye Feng didn't lose heart.
Since Xiaogang couldn't help him, he would help Xiaogang.
He looked at the beautiful Xiaomi and Xiaowu Qiao Yi.
He felt that tonight, he would have a heart-to-heart talk with the three of them.
