Chapter 27: Santa Claus Chu Jingyan

  When Cho Jing-yu drove into the city of Quanzhou, it was already a bit late. The two girls in the back seat were dozing off under the blanket. As soon as they saw the city area, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly became spirited.

  "Go straight, turn right, go straight again, opposite, turn left, done, arrived."

  Under Kim Tae-hee's guidance, the three of them arrived smoothly at the foot of Kim Tae-hee's house.

  Chu Jingyan stepped down from the car, took a deep breath, and indeed the air was fresh and the birds were singing amidst the fragrance of flowers. Suddenly, his poetic inspiration burst forth, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with anything except "the bright moonlight in front of my bed is probably frost on the ground". Chu Jingyan scratched the back of his head awkwardly, realizing that the 300 Tang poems were not suitable for him.

  Song lyrics are still good.

  Helping Kim Tae-yeon and Tiffany with their luggage, Choo Kyung-yoon discovers that she still has to act as a porter, so she carefully leaves her wallet in the car, planning to be surprised and regretful when she reaches for it while eating dinner later.

  "Oh no, I forgot my wallet."

  It was a shameful thing, so Chu Jingyan did it very secretly. The last fat woman got out of the car and glanced at Chu Jingyan casually, shouting: "Hey, your wallet."

  "It's your wallet!"

  "How can this girl be like this? Why suddenly remind me kindly?" Chu Jingyan put the wallet back into his pocket and said to Tiffany, "Your eyes are really good."

  "Tiffany smiled naturally and said, 'Of course.'"

  The joy of going home was enough to make Kim Tae-yeon ignore the bickering between Choo Kyung-yin and Tiffany, as she struggled to carry her luggage up the stairs. By the time Choo Kyung-yin and Tiffany came upstairs, Kim Tae-yeon was already panting and starting to knock on the door.

  The door opened and a middle-aged woman looked at Kim Tae-yeon with surprise, smiling as the mother and daughter were already in each other's arms.

  This is indeed a touching scene that can move people's hearts, Chu Jing thought.

  He glanced at Xiaofei, his smiling eyes filled with a hint of sadness and thoughtfulness. Chu Jingyan recalled some things, and under the circumstances where no one saw him, he let out a sigh before placing his hand on Xiaofei's shoulder.

  The little fatty lifted her head and smiled at him.

  She wrapped Taeyeon in her arms and smiled warmly at the little fatty, saying: "Tiffany has also arrived, it's so cold outside, come in quickly."

  Then his gaze turned to Chu Jingyan and he asked in puzzlement: "Who is this?"

  Chu Jingyan slightly bowed and smiled: "Nice to meet you, I'm Chu Jingyan."

  "Tiffany added on the side: 'Auntie, he is my brother. He's the one who sent me and Tai Yan here today.'"

  "Is it?" Mother Jin said with a smile, "Come in, all of you."

  The house is not big, the decoration is ordinary but not lacking in warmth and coziness. It's clear that the lady of the house is someone who knows how to live well. Mrs. Jin brought out the washed fruit and handed it to the three people sitting in the living room, smiling as she said, "Tae-hyun's dad is still at the store, Hye-yeon is inside the house, I'll go call her out."

  "Xia Yan?"

  "It's my sister."

  A little girl came running out of the house, and when she saw Kim Tae-yeon, she immediately shouted like a motorcycle at full speed: "Kim Tae-yeon, you finally deigned to come back! Come quickly and help me with this problem, I don't know how to do it."

  Kim Tae-yeon stood up, walked to her sister's face and pinched her chubby cheeks, saying: "Let you not listen carefully in class, who will blame? Your sister me from a young age was excellent in both character and learning, always praised by teachers, how did it all turn around here?"

  Kim Hye-yeon waved her workbook and dodged Kim Tae-yeon's grasp, saying disdainfully: "How would I know about your elementary school days? Who knows how many failing test papers were torn up in secret? Who can be sure about this kind of thing?"

  "Kim Hye-yeon!"

  "Taeyeon Kim, come and help me with my homework!"

  Chu Jing pouted.

  The little fatty who has been to Kim Tae-yeon's house many times seems to be used to it, and says to Chu Jingyan, "Are the sisters in this family very special?"

  If Zheng Xiujing has such a bold personality now because she followed Chu Jingyan since childhood, how can we explain this pair of pure and absolutely biological sisters in front of us?

  Looking at Jin Xiaoyan, Chu Jingyan would subconsciously think of Zheng Xiujing from his childhood, with the same mischievous and clever nature, also loving her own sister in the same way.

  But obviously Kim Tae-yeon is much more responsible than Jung Soo-young, at least she would rather lie in bed and not move, and it's unlikely that she will go teach Jung Soo-jin to do homework.

  Zheng Wei's sisters seem to be unenthusiastic about the college entrance examination, in other words, the two people are really half a catty and eight taels when it comes to learning, neither of whom can use this aspect to squeeze the other.

  Chu Jingyun bit into an apple and mumbled: "It's really got character."

  Jin Xiameng, who had been making a ruckus, glanced towards the living room and waved at Tiffany with a smile, saying "Sister, we meet again."

  "Tiffany obviously liked Kim Sua and ran up to hug her, laughing: "Sua, did you miss me?"

  Jin Xiayuan asked in confusion: "What are you doing? You brought me a gift?"

  Tiffany was taken aback and shook her head, saying: "No."

  Kim Hye-yeon said matter-of-factly, "Then I have even less reason to think of you."

  Little fatty lost.

  Jin Xiayan held her homework and looked at Chu Jingyan with some surprise, saying: "Wow, there's still a man here."

  Chu Jingyan felt a hint of tension.

  Kim Som Yeon turned her head and looked at her sister and Tiffany, asking: "Which one of you two is the boyfriend?"

  Kim Tae-yeon and Little Fat Girl both shook their heads.

  "It doesn't seem so." Jin Xiahuan walked up to Chu Jingyan and asked with wide eyes, "Are you also a trainee at my sister's company?"

  Chu Jing shook his head and smiled: "No."

  "Then who are you?"

  "Someone has come to give you a gift."

  Kim Yoo-jung exclaimed: "Now Santa Claus is so handsome."

  Chu Jing spoke with a smile and patted Jin Xiayun's head, saying: "Finish your homework first, then I'll give you a gift."

  "Kim Taeyeon, come quickly and tell me the answer to this question."

  After Kim Tae-yeon taught the formula to Kim Ha-yeon, the little girl rushed back to her room to solve the problem. After pouring a glass of water for Chu Jingyan, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing kids."

  "A child of her age shouldn't be coaxed, coaxing is equivalent to deceiving. Having made a promise, it must be fulfilled." Chu Jingyan said, "I've promised to give it to her, and after Xiaoyan finishes wrapping the gift, I'll naturally give it to her."

  "Tiffany ran over and said excitedly: 'What are we going to eat later?'"

  "Barbecue?"

  “OK。”

  Jin Mu, who was still busy in the kitchen, walked out with a spatula and asked, "Not eating at home?"

  Kim Tae-yeon smiled and replied: "I'll take them out for a meal."

  Chu Jingyan felt that she was always excluded from everything, and in matters of "eating", why did she have no right to speak at all?

  "I've finished my homework." Jin Xiayun seemed to like the sound of someone arriving before they actually did, and after hearing this sentence, it wasn't until a while later that she came running into the living room, looking at Chu Jingyan with an expectant face.

  "Santa Claus, give me gifts."

  Chu Jingyan suddenly changed his playful tone and took out a gift box from behind him, handing it to Jin Xiayun, saying: "First meeting, please also give me guidance in the future, Xiayun."

  "Thank you, and I hope you'll give me more gifts in the future." Kim Hye-yeon smiled as she accepted the gift.

  Eagerly unwrapped, a beautifully decorated music box was already in Jinsaem's hands, and after careful examination, she gently pressed the box, and pleasant music began to play.

  Kim Hye-yeon held the music box in her arms like a treasure, excitedly saying to Chu Jingyan: "So you're really Santa Claus!"

  Looking at Kim Hye-yeon's extremely happy expression, Kim Tae-yeon said: "You've gone to a lot of trouble."

  "It's not something valuable." Chu Jingyan smiled and said, "Coming empty-handed as a guest is not a good habit."

  Carefully putting the music box back in her room, Kim Hye-yeon covered her stomach and complained to Kim Tae-yeon: "Sis, you promised me that as soon as you arrived, we would go out for a good meal. Can't we leave now? I haven't even eaten dinner yet because I was waiting for you."

  Originally, they had planned to invite Kim's mother to join them, but she had to take lunch to Kim's father who was watching the shop, so she didn't accept. The four of them then set off towards the barbecue restaurant that Kim Tae-hyun had specified.

  Kim Hye-yeon apparently had a particularly good first impression of Cho Jeong-seon, and while most of the good feelings probably came from that exquisite music box, it couldn't stop Kim Hye-yeon from making Cho Jeong-seon feel at home.

  Just like those half-cooked roasted meats piled up on the plate now.

  "Come on, Brother Jing, eat up, don't be polite. Anyway, it's my sister treating us, if we can't afford Korean beef then we can't afford five-flavor pork either. Eat quickly and order more, no need to be polite with her."

  Chu Jing said he didn't have the habit of eating raw meat, and thought that no one present did either.

  Sister debt sister repayment, Kim Tae-yeon silently put the meat with blood threads on the plate back to the grill one by one, and after it was thoroughly cooked, she silently put the meat back on the plate.

  Chu Jingyan suddenly found herself enjoying such thoughtful service for the first time.

  Xia Yan is really a good girl, Chu Jingyan thought so.

  Tiffany puffed out her cheeks and lifted up her juice, smiling: "Let's have a toast."

  Kim Hye-yeon stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and said, "Cheers need a reason."

  Chu Jing said with a smile as she raised her cup: "I wish Tiffany and Taeyeon all the best on their debut, and I hope Hyoyeon's studies go smoothly."

  "Cheers."

  For many years, Chu Jingyan hasn't smiled as much as he did today. His smile was pure and unadulterated, without any other emotions mixed in, just a genuine smile born of joy, because he was happy.

  After eating eight-tenths full, they didn't eat much anymore because Kim Tae-yeon took them to the largest night market in Jeonju. Everyone had at least three snacks in their hands, walking and stopping, stopping and walking. When Chu Jingyan had to put on a cat ear headband, Tiffany and Kim Hye-yeon finally used up all their physical strength.

  Lying on Chu Jingyan's shoulder, Tiffany slept very soundly. Kim Taeyeon carried Kim Sua on her back and apologetically glanced at Chu Jingyan: "Sorry, you must be very tired today."

  Chu Jingyan plucked off the cat ears on her head and smiled: "Indeed a bit."

  "But I'm very happy, it's been a long time since I've felt this happy."

  Kim Tae-yeon carried her own sister, Choo Kyung-yeon carried Tiffany, in a sense, Tiffany was also Choo Kyung-yeon's sister. The two people carrying their sisters walked slowly towards home under the guidance of streetlights.
