Chapter 26.3: Sense and Sensibility

Dinner is not a surprised that night.

It is located in a Villa in the old inner courtyard. Usually guest need to book at least half a month in advance to be able to get a seat.

When his mother was alive, she love this place. So they frequently patronized this place during most holiday since his father cannot leave the area. So their family reunion dinner are mainly here when they are not having it at home. In many times, He He and her mother also joined them.

Since the death of his mother, he had rarely come here.

Both father Zheng and He He’s mother as usual are refined, courteous, polite and considerate. The children started eating only when the elderly started moving their chopsticks.

In the presence of the elders and two newcomers, the scene is a little awkward although they tried to look friendly and warm.

Father Zheng said: “The last time Xiao Xie came back with He He, we had dinner together. It seems just like only yesterday. In the blink of an eye, our team has gotten bigger….”

He He’s mum said: “The world situation will change so fast. What more it is human…. Xiao Xie, you ate so little today. Are you feeling ill?”

Zheng Xie said: “No, Auntie Lin. Recently, my stomach is not very good….”

Father Zheng said: “He has been like this since young. Picky eaters. Eating is like asking him to take medication. Always thought that his growth would be stumped. Never expected that he would have have grown so tall.” His words were said towards Yang Wei Qi, with a tone filled with a little love as well as a little condemn.

Zheng Xie bowed down and ignored them. Yang Wei Qi smiled.

He He’s mum said: “The most important is the height genetic, followed by exercise and appet.i.te. He He has always had a good appet.i.ted, never a picky eater at all. But she is still pet.i.te.”

He He heard the mentioned of her name, she looked up. From the start of the dinner to now, she had never stopped eating, with her head bowed.

These kind of topics are usually cold topic with very few respondents. Then, Father Zheng turn to Yang Wei Qi and Chen s.h.i.+. Towards Yang Wei Qi, he said: “When you were younger, you had lived in your uncle’s home. I had also carried you back then. Am sure you have no memory of that.” He turn to Cen s.h.i.+ and said: “From the moment He He was born, I had watched her growing up till now. She is like my own child. She has always been a good child. You cannot bully her.”

Cen s.h.i.+ gave a fake smile: “Rest be a.s.sured, I will not.”

Later as the conversation continue, they found out that Cen s.h.i.+ and He He were university friends.

Father Zheng said: “So, He He and Cen s.h.i.+ were designated as couple back in the university days. Zheng Xie do you not know about this?”

Zheng Xie vaguely replied.

Cen s.h.i.+ with a serious tone said: “We had missed a lot of years but fortunately we are able to meet again.”
