So she hurriedly followed Li Yizheng’s footsteps and didn’t stand on ceremony anymore.
After sending Gu Shihui home safely, Li Yizheng also went home.
When he opened his house door, he saw the lights in the room were on. He knew that his father must have come back.
So he put his keys aside, sat at the entrance to change his shoes, and shouted into the house, “Dad, I’m back.”
“Aye.” Mr Li replied.
From the sound, he should be cooking in the kitchen.
So Li Yizheng changed into his slippers, put his shoes aside, and walked to the kitchen.
Sure enough, Mr Li was busy in the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mr Li didn’t turn his head or stop his actions. He said, “Wait a little longer. The rice will be ready soon. I’ll cook the last dish, and then we’ll eat.”
“Okay,” Li Yizheng replied.
“Hurry up and go out. The kitchen smells bad.” Mr Li took the opportunity to look at Li Yizheng while holding the plate. Li Yizheng didn’t answer. He just said, “I’ll help you carry the dishes and get the bowls.”
“Okay. This way, we can eat earlier.” Mr Li said as he scooped the dishes out of the pot.
Li Yizheng pretended to be casual and asked, “Why isn’t mom finished with her work? It’s been so many days, and she still hasn’t come back?”
Mr Li’s who was holding the dishes halted for a moment and resumed to normal shortly. “The company is indeed a little busy. If this doesn’t work, I’ll call her tomorrow and ask her to come back. There’s always time for a meal.”
“No need. Let her be busy with her work,” Li Yizheng said calmly.
But when Mr Li heard Li Yizheng say no, he was relieved. He thought to himself, “Fortunately, my son said no need. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to call her back for a meal.”
“Now all my contacts should have been blocked, right?” Mr Li sighed heavily in his heart.
Li Yizheng considered his father’s series of performances. Then, he didn’t say anything and went out with his bowl.
Although he had already eaten with Gu Shihui outside, he didn’t want his father’s efforts to go to waste. He also didn’t want his father to sit alone at the dining table and eat by himself without anyone to talk to.
“Dad, eat more.” Li Yizheng picked up a piece of fish and put it into his father’s bowl.
“Son, you should eat more too. By the way, how have you been in school recently?” Mr Li asked with concern.
Li Yizheng thought for a moment and said, “I did well in the mock exam last time. I should be the second in the class.”
Needless to say, the first was Gu Shihui of course.
Mr Li was even happier when he heard that. “You are indeed my son. You have improved so much. Tell me, what reward do you want?”
“There’s nothing I want. You just have to take care of yourself,” Li Yizheng replied.
Mr Li had never asked about Li Yizheng’s studies before, he only asked about his daily life.
However, when he heard that Li Yizheng was second in the class, he was still very happy. Therefore, he happily poured a glass of wine to drink.
Li Yizheng could tell that his father was happy today. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have drunk.

“Dad, don’t drink too much. Don’t get too drunk.” Li Yizheng looked at his father who was about to pour a second glass after drinking one glass.
Mr Li thought for a moment and put down the wine. “That’s true. Then I won’t drink today.”
He picked up two chopsticks for Li Yizheng. “Eat more, son.”
“Okay, I got it, Dad.” So the two of them ate.
Li Yizheng did not eat any lesser, after all, he thought his father’s home-cooked food is better than outside food.
