Chapter 88 extra

Today is the day when Li Xi and Duan Zhen made an appointment to go home together.

In fact, at the very beginning, Duan Zhen wanted to take him to meet his parents, but was declined by Li Xi. He didn’t think he was mentally prepared to meet the other party’s parents now, and because he promised to help the government arrest criminal suspects, he was really busy for a while afterwards.

Duan Zhen was also very busy, so this matter was put on hold, and no one mentioned it. It was not until a few months later that Li Xi thought he was ready.

“Mom and Dad have mentioned it several times and want to see you.” Duan Zhen hugged him, and gently kissed the young man’s forehead: “Don’t be nervous.”

“I’m not nervous.” Li Xi leaned on his chest and closed his eyes slightly: “It’s just that I’ve been too busy recently, so I feel a little tired.”

“Then take a day off today, and it’s okay to go tomorrow.” Duan Zhen circled him: “Where are you tired, can I help you?”

Li Xi paused, and stretched out his leg to rest on Duan Zhen’s without guilt: “The leg hurts.”

In fact, he is not tired at all, to be honest, he is a little nervous, after all, he has not seen anyone like an elder in hundreds of years, let alone the parents of his lover.

In fact, Li Xi struggled for a long time, he even thought about disappearing, after all he is not in love with Duan Zhen’s parents. But seeing that Duan Zhen really wanted him to go, he dismissed this idea.

And seeing his parents explained that Duan Zhen wanted to introduce him to his family, it was a sign of emotional stability.

Li Xi cheered herself up, no matter how she tried to avoid it, she still had to meet.

Duan Zhen drove him home. The Duan family’s residence was a high-secret community, and the people living there were either rich or expensive, and they had to go through several security checks to get in. However, the identities of Duan Zhen and Li Xi allowed them to travel unimpeded, and no one dared to stop them.

“Let’s go.” Duan Zhen held his hand: “Don’t worry, everything is by me.”

Li Xi raised his chin: “I’m not worried.”

Duan’s father and Duan’s mother had already received the news that they were coming, and asked the chef to prepare a table of dishes and wait at home.

As soon as Li Xi entered the door, she was warmly greeted by Duan’s mother and sat down, with a big apple stuffed in her hand.

“You’re welcome.” Duan’s mother said with a smile. She is in her fifties this year, but she looks like she is in her thirties, with a kind face: “We were all very happy when we heard that Ah Zhen found a boyfriend. He hid it, and it took him so long to bring it back.”

Li Xi was a little dazed, it was the first time he had experienced such a scene, and he couldn’t help turning his head to look at Duan Zhen.

“Mom, you scared him.” Duan Zhen said, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised: “I was too busy a while ago, so I didn’t deliberately hide it from you.”

Duan’s father was like a copy of Duan Zhen, serious and unsmiling, sitting there just looking at them without speaking.

On the contrary, Li Xi was more adaptable, and he took out the gift he had prepared: “This is a small spirit gathering array, which is worn on the body. The physical fitness can be enhanced through spiritual energy.”

Those are three gemstones carved into different shapes, very exquisite.

Worried that such a gift would appear insincere, Li Xi added: “I made them all by myself, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.”

“Did you carve these?” Duan’s mother picked up one of them, showing surprise on her face: “It’s so beautiful, even those master sculptors can’t reach this level.”

“When I was bored, I used to make pendants with gemstones.” Li Xi smiled.

“Where’s Zizhuo?” Duan Zhen asked suddenly.

“He was taken away to study something, but I have already told him that you are coming back, so it should be soon.” Mother Duan said.

“Research?” Duan Zhen frowned: “Is it about computers?”

He remembered that Duan Zizhuo had a good talent in computers, which was approved by Shan Zuo, but because of too many things recently, it is not clear to what extent the other party has reached.

“About artificial intelligence.” Father Duan said, succinctly: “It’s a research project of your subordinate Shan Zuo.”

“Is it related to the main system?” Li Xi was curious.

But Duan’s father didn’t say much anymore, he just nodded.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, Duan’s mother made a timely rescue and took out the photo album she had prepared a long time ago: “If you’re bored, do you want to see the photos of Ah Zhen when he was a child?”

Come, meet parents must have experience, look at the photo album when you were young!

Li Xi immediately came to his senses: “Okay.”

He specifically said: “Do you have any pictures of wearing skirts when you were young?”

“Huh?” Duan Zhen, who was still sitting next to him, questioned.

“That’s true.” Duan’s mother opened the photo album: “This is when Ah Zhen just learned to walk, and he was lying on the tutu skirt and didn’t want to move, so I changed it for him.”

Of course, everyone knows why there are tutu skirts at home.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Duan Zhen’s face.

“Duan Duan was so cute when he was young.” Li Xi flipped through the photo album, satisfied.

It’s a pity that Duan Zhen had a straight face when he was a child and didn’t like to smile. Of course, he has a fleshy face, and the straight face is also extremely cute.

“He was the cutest baby in our place when he was a child.” Duan’s mother complained, “It turns out that he is not cute at all now.”

Li Xi glanced at Duan Zhen, and took his hand secretly: “Duan Duan is cute now.”

Mother Duan looked at the young couple with a gentler smile on her face.

“I’m going to give Ziyan a call.” She got up, “You two have a talk by yourself.”

Duan’s father was still sitting there, but was dragged away by Duan’s mother.

There were only the two of them left in the living room, Li Xi relaxed a little, and subconsciously leaned on Duan Zhen: “What do you think?”

“They all like you.” Duan Zhen knew what he was asking.

“Your father doesn’t seem to want to talk to me.” Li Xi frowned slightly: “Is it because of my identity…”

Li Xi also knew that the attitude towards him among the top officials in this country was divided into two factions. Some people didn’t like him and thought he was a threat and should be monitored and restricted. They didn’t do this because Li Xi was too powerful and had a tough attitude, and they were worried that they would attract retaliation.

“Of course not.” Duan Zhen rubbed his cheek affectionately: “He’s nervous. Don’t look at his fierce appearance. In fact, when he’s nervous, he can’t speak, and he can’t express his feelings. It’s easy to be misunderstood.”

“Is that the same as you?” Li Xi couldn’t help laughing: “You two are very similar.”

“I think I’m better than him.” Duan Zhen also looked at him with a smile, kissed those two soft lips lightly, and whispered: “I can tell you that I love you many times.”

Li Xi blushed: “Don’t stay here, you will be seen.”

Duan Zhen also knew it, so he just tasted it.

With some regret, he folded his arms and held the young man in his arms.

In the past few months, he has been so busy that he has almost no time for tenderness, and even every time the atmosphere is good, Li Xi always has a reason to take out the fire spell.

Even Duan Zhen really wanted to say a **** fire-reducing spell at some point.

He was enjoying the rare free time in the past few months, but suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and even the ground shook several times.
