After meeting me, he never asked for my help. I even asked him if he wanted to change his agent but he said that Qi Rui was very kind to him and he <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">didn&#8217;t want to change it. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Zhou was a calm and elegant middle-aged man and his slightly wrinkled face was very similar to Zhou Cheng&#8217;s face but more mature. He was wearing a rather casual home suit and was very kind looking and did not have the airs of the previous generation Zhou family head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Zhou sighed and said: \u201cSo you have met a good boy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhou&#8217;s mother, who was even more open than Zhou&#8217;s father already had red eyes. The servants quietly removed the dishes and chopsticks from the table and one of them handed her a napkin. The beautiful lady, who was well-maintained gently and gracefully wiped the corners of her eyes and hurriedly said to Zhou Cheng: \u201cThen you must treat this child well. If you decide to be together, propose as soon as possible, and I&#8217;ll ask the housekeeper to clean up an apartment for him in the manor. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhou Cheng nodded, and in order to reassure his mother he also explained his arrangement of servants that he had sent to take care of He Jing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mother Zhou, who was still crying because of He Jing &#8220;Tragic life experience&#8221; hearing it, her eyes lit up: \u201cIs there any house left from the houses you bought?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yes.&#8221; Zhou Cheng bought<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> every empty house in the whole residential building but only arranged 5 or 6 servants so naturally there were still many left.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Zhou&#8217;s eyes also brightened as he said &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you give us some of them?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing sat in the living room, staring at a pile of things on the coffee table.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The home made cake \u2013 had decorations that were more refined than that made by cake shops. The wine that was home brewed \u2013 looked of higher quality than some of his high-end ones and tested like it was worth thousands of gold.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They were all sent by his neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also said that he should visit them in the future and have dinner at their houses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let him treat them directly as parents and he did not have to be polite.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing: \u201c&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, not only do some old uncles and aunts have the same craftsmanship as restaurants and brands, but do they all have so much love?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next time he makes a video call with his parents, he must tell them that he has met a bunch of kind-hearted neighbors so when his parents have time to visit him, they can also make friends with these loving uncles and aunts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing sat on the sofa, his hands on his knees as he saw his men come in.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhou Cheng was dressed very casually today in a white short sleeve shirt without logo and simple jeans. It was clearly very boring clothes but when this man wore them, they inexplicably revealed the atmosphere of sophistication.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing swallowed his saliva and asked: &#8220;Where have you been?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He came back in the early hours of the morning these days and Zhou Cheng was usually waiting for him in the living room. It was a rare day today that he was able to get home early but when he got home he could not find Zhou Cheng anywhere in the house. He was going to pack up the gifts from the uncles and aunts and then he would call Zhou Cheng to check where he was..<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWent home.\u201d Zhou Cheng put on his slippers and walked up to him and rubbed his head. \u201cJust wanted to say a few things to my parents and give them some small things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing nodded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It turned out that it was just a normal thing like taking money home. Zhou Cheng rarely saw so many good things and money so he must have wanted to share it with his parents.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing did not ask any more questions and pointed to a pile of things in front of him: &#8220;I received a lot of gifts today, all of them from my neighbors. Why are these people so kind now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhou Cheng bent down and kissed the corner of his eye and said in a low voice: \u201cThat&#8217;s because you&#8217;re cute.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his position, He Jing directly pulled Zhou Cheng\u2019s hand so that he would sit down next to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As usual, they sat down and chatted for a long time. After washing separately, they lay side by side on the bed. And He Jing would listen to Zhou Cheng teaching him the new \u201ctextbook\u201d and continued to learn those winding economic theories.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Zhou Cheng gave the remaining unused houses to his father and mother.\u00a0 They were happy that their son, who had been single for 800 years, had finally fallen in love, and found a beautiful, strong and miserable little cutie. Mother and father Zhou couldn&#8217;t help getting excited about the news that by night time, several of their relatives were already aware of it too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several middle-aged couples put aside a total of hundreds of billions of dollars worth of appointments and business for the next few days and happily moved into the residential building where He Jing lived. They decided to watch the little star who could make Zhou Cheng&#8217;s heart beat faster and also send warmth to this parentless child.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next day, He Jing once again went out before dawn.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Qi Rui was also going to take another newcomer so because the shooting place was not far away he decided to take a taxi directly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as he came downstairs, he saw several uncles and aunts playing badminton.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These uncles and aunts look much younger than this he saw yesterday. Although he could not tell the age of the aunties, all of them were in good shape, had tight skins and were obviously well preserved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he went downstairs it so happened that the badminton fell to his feet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing subconsciously bent down to pick it up and sent it to the uncle who had just shot this badminton as the rest of several uncles and aunts&#8217; eyes immediately came towards him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He smiled and said: \u201cYour shuttleco*k.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The eyebrows and eyes of this uncle were somewhat similar to those of Zhou Cheng so he subconsciously said with greater care and had a favorable feeling in his heart about him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the other party took the badminton shuttleco*k the aunt who was obviously married to the uncle, picked up a delicate paper bag that had been put aside and quickly walked toward him, shouting: \u201cYoung men.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing felt that his scene seemed to become too familiar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The well-maintained middle-aged woman handed him the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paper bag into his hand. He Jing looked down and saw some plain white bottles and cans in the paper bag, which looked like skin care products, but he could not see any brand of logo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We just moved here. Do you live here, too?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing nodded blankly, holding the bag of suspected skincare products: &#8220;This is \u2026&#8221;? &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The skincare products made by this uncle and aunt for their personal use.\u00a0 They are very <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rare and precious! Here,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> take them and if you like them you can come back to us for more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing felt that the sentence patterns of these words seemed a little familiar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We&#8217;ll be neighbors from now on. You&#8217;re welcome, just treat us like your parents!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He Jing felt that the sentence patterns of these words were very familiar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So in the evening He Jing who just got off work, once again looked at these exquisite things in front of him, which were even more exquisite than the gifts of those uncles and aunts yesterday. Then he could only sigh thinking that the society was really getting better and better!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also wanted to prepare gifts to give back to these neighbors and give back to this beautiful society!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Nio<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this time, Zhou Cheng was having dinner with his parents.
