Song Zijin gave Shen Yao a hard look and said, "When you get to my house later, don't be too enthusiastic, otherwise, my mother will definitely have crazy thoughts."
"If I'm not enthusiastic, won't Auntie have random thoughts? I guess she already thought we were talking since she caught us eating out together last time."
"Are you sure you want me to avoid suspicion and then ask aunt to introduce you to a blind date?"
Shen Yao asked with a smile on his face.
"Scoundrel."
Song Zijin was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Isn't it great for us? With me as a shield, you will have a lot less trouble!"
Shen Yao took the initiative to hold her slender hand.
Song Zijin struggled for a while, but finally gave in, letting Shen Yao hold him tightly, but gave Shen Yao a cold eye roll, and the two walked into the community together.
After seeing this, Shen Yao's face clearly showed a triumphant smile.
"Zijin, you're back! This must be your boyfriend! Your mother asked me to help you find a partner two days ago! I didn't expect that you would bring your boyfriend home so soon."
"Zijin, your boyfriend is so handsome."
…
The two walked into the community and met several aunties along the way. They all asked questions very enthusiastically, which also made Song Zijin, who looked extremely cold, extremely embarrassed, and a light blush appeared on his fair and perfect jade face.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular in your neighborhood! Many people know you."
Shen Yao said in surprise and jokingly.
He knows that in today's era, let alone the same community, even if they are in the same unit or on the same floor, they may not know each other!
The fast pace of life and high-rise buildings also bring indifference among neighbors.
But Song Zijin doesn't seem to be like this, it's a bit contrary to common sense.
"Those aunts all met me through my mother. My mother is the lead dancer in the community and is very familiar with many aunts. For my marriage, she often asked the aunts who danced with her to help me. I’ll introduce the person.”
Song Zijin gave a helpless explanation.
Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Yang would use such a method and make Song Zijin famous all of a sudden.
"dare you laugh?"
Song Zijin put his fingers on the back of Shen Yao's hand and pinched it hard, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"I was thinking that you may have become a celebrity in your community now. Maybe within two days, our relationship will be known to everyone in your community."
Shen Yao continued to smile and said, seemingly not feeling the pain on the back of his hand at all.
He knows the gossip ability of the neighborhood aunt.
Those aunts and aunts, on weekdays, have nothing else to do. They gather together in twos and threes and talk about the shortcomings of this parent and that family. The gossip is extremely well-informed and naturally spreads very quickly.
"Does this satisfy you now?"
Song Zijin gave Shen Yao a roll of his eyes.
"What do I think?"
"Don't you just want everyone to mistakenly think that we are boyfriend and girlfriend, and then take advantage of me?"
"Zijin, am I just that despicable and nasty in your heart? If that's the case, how have I taken advantage of you so far? Don't tell me it's a hand-holding, it's nothing."
Shen Yao pretended to be disappointed and shocked.
"You know it yourself."
Song Zijin glared at him.
The two walked while talking, and soon arrived at the west door on the second floor of Building 5 of the community.
The buildings in this community are all small high-rise buildings with plate structures that are transparent from north to south. The highest is no more than nine floors. The greening is quite good, and the distance between buildings is also extremely wide. There is no problem of lighting at all.
After knocking on the door, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.
The door opened, and Aunt Yang, dressed in a western style with an apron tied around her waist, came out.
"Xiao Shen, you're here... Just come. Why are you buying so many things? Spending money randomly..."
Aunt Yang's attitude was extremely enthusiastic and she pretended to be reproachful.
"It's just a little thought and it's not expensive. I hope my aunt and uncle don't mind."
Shen Yao smiled and quickly explained, and at the same time put the things on the counter at the entrance.
After walking in, Shen Yao saw a man in his fifties busy making tea.
He is thin, wears a pair of glasses, and has a very bookish air about him, giving him the appearance of an academic.
Obviously, he is Song Zijin's father.
"Hello, uncle."
Shen Yao walked over and took the initiative to say hello.
"Xiao Shen! Please sit down quickly."
Father Song also enthusiastically invited Shen Yao to the sofa and took the initiative to pour hot tea for Shen Yao.
"Uncle, you also study medicine?"
Shen Yao looked around the living room and saw some highly professional books placed on many cabinets in the living room, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
He still doesn't know Song Zijin's family situation, he only knows that Aunt Yang should be a teacher.
"Yes! I work at our Shanghai Institute of Biology. I heard from Zijin that your level is not low in this area. Can you still chat with Professor Cheng?"
Father Song asked with great interest.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's just a matter of conversation..."
Shen Yao said modestly.
Later, Father Song asked Shen Yao many medical questions with great interest. Although his real major was not medicine, but biology, he was very knowledgeable and capable in almost all of them.
After a conversation, he felt that Shen Yao was indeed very talented. He admired many of his unique opinions on many questions.
"Xiao Shen, your knowledge is very solid! And you seem to have a deep research in traditional Chinese medicine."
Song's father looked at Shen Yao curiously with a hint of excitement on his face and asked.
"Well, I have been reading books on traditional Chinese medicine since I was a child. There is not much research on western medicine. If you ask me about bacteria, viruses, chemical formulas, etc., I will definitely know nothing about them."
Shen Yao answered calmly.
"Old Song, you two are still chatting! Hurry up and serve the food. The food is already ready."
At this moment, Aunt Yang brought two plates of food and said to Father Song with a smile on her face.
"Uncle, just sit down and I'll go."
Shen Yao volunteered and got up and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Song Zijin was also wearing an apron and was fishing dumplings out of the pot. She looked serious and focused, just like she was in the laboratory.
Seeing that there were three dishes on the kitchen stove, Shen Yao took them out together.
After a while, all the food was brought to the table.
Five dishes, including dumplings and dipping sauce, looks extremely rich.
"Xiao Shen, eat more. How is Aunt Chang's cooking?"
Aunt Yang took the initiative to add several more dumplings to Shen Yao and said enthusiastically.
"Thank you Aunt Yang."
Shen Yao was not polite. He picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the dipping sauce made of minced garlic, balsamic vinegar and chili oil, and took a bite.
The flavors of leeks, eggs and shrimps are perfectly blended, especially delicious.
"Your cooking skills are really good. The eggs are tender and smooth, and the shrimps are also very elastic. Moreover, the seasoning inside is not outstanding, nor does it overwhelm the taste of the ingredients...it's delicious..."
Shen Yao praised without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, he ate the dumpling he had taken a bite of.
