When Zhou Yingbo asked the question, the rest of the Zhou family also looked forward to Zhu Bocheng’s answer.
Uncle and Aunt Zhou were especially grateful to Chi Shuyan, whom they had never met but who had been acknowledged as a goddaughter by the elders. It had to be said that Yingbo was their life. If something happened to him, Uncle and Aunt Zhou wouldn’t know what to do.
Thank heavens that Yingbo had encountered a benefactor and escaped disaster.
Without waiting for Zhou Yingbo to ask again, Aunt Zhou hurriedly asked, “Chengcheng, what did that child say about coming to our house? Tell me what that child likes to eat, and I’ll prepare it immediately!”
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou immediately echoed her.
Everyone stared at Zhu Bocheng, who felt inexplicably stressed. He said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Cousin Shuyan said that she’s busy tonight. Grandpa Qi told her to go back for dinner tonight. She really isn’t free. I’ll meet Cousin Shuyan in a few days!”
Zhu Bocheng had the vague feeling that Sister Shuyan wouldn’t like such a formal gathering. Even Zhu Bocheng himself would feel awkward if he was suddenly invited to a meal by a bunch of strangers. It was more convenient to eat outside!
As soon as Zhu Bocheng finished speaking, Zhou Yingbo’s small eyes dimmed for a moment before they immediately lit up again as he looked eagerly at his cousin.
Zhu Bocheng knew what his little cousin was thinking at a glance. Didn’t he just want him to take him? If this kid wasn’t still so young, he would have suspected that he had a crush on Sister Shuyan.
Zhu Bocheng deliberately ignored his little cousin’s gaze and saw that his grandparents and his uncle and aunt were all disappointed.
His uncle and aunt said with great enthusiasm and regret, “Chengcheng, that’s too insincere. Arrange a time for when the child is free to come here! We can’t just forget this favor!”
In the end, Zhu Bocheng was bombarded by the elders of the Zhou family, and he could only nod in agreement.
He didn’t stay for long and was about to leave, when Zhou Yingbo hurriedly followed. Zhu Bocheng glared at this kid and said helplessly, “I’m going home, not to find Cousin Shuyan. Otherwise, do you want to stay at my place for a few days?” If he didn’t know Cousin Shuyan well, he would have suspected that she had drugged his little cousin.
Without waiting for Zhou Yingbo to speak, Zhu Bocheng said, “Fine, go back first. You might want to go, but your parents might not agree!”
After all, something had just happened to this kid. His uncle and aunt were now watching him closely, afraid that something would happen to him again.
He actually didn’t like how his uncle and aunt valued boys over girls and how they spoiled their son, but fortunately, his cousin hadn’t grown up with a bad character.
Zhu Bocheng patted Yingbo on the head and promised to take this kid with him when he treated Sister Shuyan to a meal in a few days.
Only then did Zhou Yingbo smile. “Thank you, Brother!”
Before he left, Zhu Bocheng suddenly grabbed the collar of the kid in front of him and asked, “Tell me honestly, do you have a crush on Sister Shuyan?”
Zhou Yingbo was still young, and he was dumbstruck. His handsome face and neck flushed red. He hurriedly said, “Brother, what are you saying? My parents won’t let me fall in love early!” After a pause, Zhou Yingbo quickly added, “But I’ll find a girlfriend like her in the future!”
“Get lost!”
