"Come in, don’t bother taking off your shoes."

"Make yourself at home, no need to be polite."

"Mom! My classmates are here!"

In the morning, Jiang Yunzhou happily welcomed three distinguished guests into his home.

Liu Manyi hadn’t seen the house this lively in a long time. She emerged wearing a form-fitting cheongsam, walking gracefully on tiptoe.

The first person she saw was Xia Ye.

After Xia Ye greeted her, Liu Manyi smiled radiantly, "Good, good, Yunzhou you really should have told mom earlier that Yeye was coming!"

Xia Ye being from the same high school as Jiang Yunzhou, Liu Manyi was already familiar with her, so Lu Beibei and the others didn’t find it strange.

Liu Manyi adored girls, and this was the first time her son had brought girls home, and to her surprise, three of them at once!

Xia Ye was already out of reach for her son, so Liu Manyi sized up the other two.

Qi Ran was thin and tall, with delicate features, looking down slightly, quiet and gentle.

Lu Beibei was petite, lively, and her fluffy white hat pressed down her flaxen bangs above her eyebrows, making her look like a doll.

They each had their own charm.

"Mom, her name is Lu Beibei from the Automation Department, and her name is Qi Ran from the Department of Biomedical Sciences. They’re both Xia Ye’s roommates," Yunzhou introduced them to his mother, while Liu Manyi was already pondering which one she preferred.

Qi Ran: "Auntie, hello."

Lu Beibei: "Jiang classmate, your mom is so beautiful, just like a movie star!"

Liu Manyi’s eyes lit up.

Even though both girls were very charming, she seemed to like Lu Beibei more!

"Please, take a seat. I’ll go get you some afternoon tea," Liu Manyi said with a smile as she headed upstairs to the kitchen.

Jiang Yunzhou noticed that Xia Ye seemed to be looking at his mom the entire time, he just didn’t know what she was focusing on.

He touched the tip of his nose and asked with a laugh, "It’s been so long since you’ve come to my place, do you miss my mom?"

"..." Xia Ye didn’t reply but counter-asked, "Do you feel lonely usually?"

Jiang Yunzhou nodded quickly, "Lonely! Super lonely! You should definitely come over more often!"

Xia Ye remained silent, only her lips curving into an inscrutable smile.

Jiang Yunzhou briefly showed Lu Beibei and the others around the house, and then the four of them moved to the study to get down to business.

The servants brought in colorful fruits, even the fruit forks were glittering gold.

With European-style solid wood furniture and sparkling crystal ornaments, Lu Beibei whispered to Xia Ye, covering her mouth with her hand, "Idol, his bathroom is bigger than my bedroom."

Xia Ye: ...

Lu Beibei continued, "The water in their toilet even smells nice, like jasmine..."

Xia Ye pushed her head towards the computer screen, "Focus on the robot."

Lu Beibei shrunk her neck, "Oh."

Three laptops were placed on the desk, with all four of them gathered around.

They might not always speak seriously, but when it came to work they were pretty impressive.

Qi Ran contributed nursing knowledge, Lu Beibei explained the design plan, while Jiang Yunzhou and Xia Ye were responsible for the programming aspect.

Jiang Yunzhou tried several programming methods, but none of them were quite satisfactory.

The software used in robot chips was different from that in computers.

Soon it was noon, and the core problem had yet to be solved, but Liu Manyi had lunch ready.

It was Qi Ran’s first time visiting a friend’s home, and she was very nervous at first, but Liu Manyi’s warm hospitality soon put her at ease.

As for Lu Beibei, there’s no need to say more; she loved to chat, and meeting Liu Manyi just set her mouth running nonstop.

The atmosphere at the dining table was incredibly lively. Happy and excited, Liu Manyi thought about having a drink,

Even though it was only noon.

"Liúmā, bring over my bottle of red wine——"

"No way."

But before she could finish her sentence, Xia Ye interrupted her.

Liu Manyi asked with curiosity, "What’s the matter, Yeye?"

Xia Ye glanced at the people around the table, subtly hinting, "You might not be able to drink anymore."

But Liu Manyi still didn’t catch on, "Goodness, auntie can hold her liquor very well. It’s not just red wine; I can handle white liquor too..."

Xia Ye pressed her temples, "Haven’t you been for a check-up recently?"

"Check-up?" Liu Manyi was taken aback, remembering the medicine she had asked Yeye for before and suddenly realizing, "Yeye, are you suggesting..."

She had been thinking of having another child for years, which caused her a lot of stress, but the medicine she took, prescribed by Yeye, had helped her relax. If Yeye hadn’t brought it up, she would have almost forgotten about it altogether.

Xia Ye was adept at face-reading. As soon as she entered the house that morning and saw Liu Manyi’s complexion, she suspected something was up. But since "human life is serious business," she still believed in science, "You should have a check-up, I should not be mistaken."

Liu Manyi ’pang’ next with a slap of her chopsticks on the table, causing Lu Beibei and Qi Ran to jump with a start.

However, she wasn’t angry. On the contrary, she was so happy and excited!
