“Oh,” Lu Jinsen replied calmly. He did not seem to care, but when he lowered his eyes, there was a hint of joy in them.

Lin Youjuan wanted to see how the new clothes looked on him, so she urged Lu Jinsen to change into them quickly. “Try it on.”

To satisfy his mother’s request, Lu Jinsen took out the clothes from the bag and began to try them on.

Lu Jinsen took out a blue jacket. When he put his arms into the sleeves and lifted the jacket onto his shoulders, his arms seemed to be restrained by the size of the clothes. He frowned slightly.

He knew that his mother must have bought the wrong size.

Lu Jinsen did not ruin the atmosphere. He put on the clothes as if nothing had happened. The clothing was so tight on his shoulders that he could not move. He replied with a straight face, “Mom, you bought a size too small.”

Lin Youjuan’s gaze landed on him and she sized him up carefully. Her eyes were filled with confusion. “Did you gain weight?”

“How can it be that I’ve gained weight?” Ever since he participated in the variety show recording, he had never gained weight.

Lin Youjuan was silent. Her gaze stopped on Lu Jinsen, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, Lu Jinsen said in a slightly complaining tone, “The one you bought for me previously wasn’t that small.”

When he was 19 years old, he first received the clothes that his mother had bought for him.

It was a black jacket. At Lu Jinsen’s age, the jacket was rather big, but it was given to him by his mother, so he did not pay much attention to the details.

Now that Lu Jinsen was 22 years old, the jacket was still hanging in his closet.

Thinking of the jacket from a few years ago, Lin Youjuan smiled awkwardly. There was a hint of guilt in her expression as she said calmly, “I bought it in your father’s size.”

. ‘ No wonder he looked like he was wearing a big sack when he put it on.

Lu Jinsen felt sad and aggrieved. He frowned slightly and asked softly, “If you could think of buying clothes for me in Dad’s size three years ago, how can you still buy such a small size now?”

“It’s just that I didn’t remember…” That was because she didn’t know what size Lu Jinsen was wearing. She had bought it based on her intuition.

Because of what happened back then, Lin Youjuan felt guilty. That was why she wanted to buy Lu Jinsen a few more sets of clothes so that he could change out of those old clothes as soon as possible.

She didn’t expect the child to have grown so big.

Lu Jinsen sighed helplessly. He lowered his head and looked at the remaining clothes. With a glimmer of hope, he asked, “Can I still wear the rest?”

“I bought them all in the same size.”

“It’s fine.” Seeing that Lu Jinsen was a little discouraged, Lin Youjuan patted his shoulder and took off his ill-fitting jacket. “I’ll buy them again for you tomorrow.”

Perhaps he shouldn’t have had too much hope for his mother in the first place.

After taking off his uncomfortable jacket, Lu Jinsen gradually calmed down. He suddenly remembered that he was supposed to go back to his room to read his script. Afterwards, Lin Youjuan said that she had something to ask him, so he was forced to stay.

Looking at the clothes Lin Youjuan had bought, Lu Jinsen seemed to understand her intentions.

“Mom, if you have something to say, just say it.’

“Oh… That’s right. When will your variety show end?” If Lu Jinsen had not mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.

Lu Jinsen was suddenly stumped. He thought for a moment before saying, “At the end of the year.”

They had signed an eleven-episode contract with the production team. However as the filming was stopped last time, they were two episodes behind schedule. If they did not manage to end the filming early, they might have to spend the Spring Festival next year in filming.

Lin Youjuan muttered, “There’s still more than a month. Then I have to properly prepare for it.”

“What are you preparing for?” Lu Jinsen was puzzled. “This has nothing to do with you.”

“Don’t we have to record at home during the closing episode? I naturally have to prepare for it.”

Upon hearing Lin Youjuan’s words, Lu Jinsen knew that the production team must have informed her.

Lu Jinsen asked, “You agreed?”

“Yes, I was quite hesitant when I filled it in. I’m actually looking forward to it now.”

“…” Initially, he thought that his mother would not allow outsiders to come to her house. He did not expect his mother to give him such a big surprise.

Perhaps because Lin Youjuan did not get the excitement she wanted from Lu Jinsen, after dinner, she made a video call with Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law.

Lin Youjuan told her that she had bought the wrong sizes and asked her to shoo with her again tomorrow.

The other party agreed easily. “Coincidentally, I haven’t bought enough today.

I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

After resolving the matter of shopping, Lin Youjuan brought up a new topic. “Lan Hui, do you think I should rent a smaller villa for them to record the variety show?”

When Lan Hui heard this, she pricked up her ears curiously and asked gossipily, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to your family?”

“No.” Lin Youjuan sighed softly and shared her concerns. “I just don’t think it’s appropriate. It’s a countryside variety show. It feels strange to film at my house.”

She felt that the contrast between the two was too great. If she had changed to a smaller house, would she be able to balance it out?

“What’s strange about it?” Lan Hui said sourly. “Your daughter-in-law is wearing such a big diamond ring to record a variety show. Now you’re saying that it’s strange. Isn’t your family too pretentious?”

Lin Youjuan:

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Lan Hui continued to add fuel to the fire. “Besides, can you get used to living in a smaller one?”

The next day

When Meng Chuyuan woke up, the area next to her was chilly. Lu Qingye must have gone to work early in the morning.

After she woke up and washed up, she came out of the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Lu Qingye in the living room.

Meng Chuyuan walked towards him and continued the topic from last night, she quickly blurted out, “Brother Donkey, aren’t you going to work today?”

“What did you call me?” Lu Qingye smiled helplessly at her and said in disbelief, “Brother Donkey?”

“Did I say something wrong just now?” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and started to clear her name. “I said Brother Lu. You must have heard wrongly.”

‘ Lu Qingye woke up early and went to the gym to do some aerobic exercise. He knew that Meng Chuyuan should be awake by now, so he came back to have breakfast with her.

After breakfast, it was getting late.

Meng Chuyuan saw that the man beside her did not seem to be in a hurry to go to work. She asked curiously, “So you really don’t have to go to work today?”

When she saw Lu Qingye working overtime last night, she naturally knew how busy he was.

“I took a day off.” Lu Qingye raised his head and looked at her. His cold tone was slightly gentle. “Is there anywhere you want to go?”

“Mm…” Meng Chuyuan kept the fork in her mouth for a long time. After she had thought things through, she took it out and said calmly, “I want to go skiing.

Do you want to go?”

It had snowed heavily last night, and there was snow everywhere outside.

Coincidentally, Lu Qingye knew that there was a ski resort here, so he nodded and agreed. “Okay..”
