Good Evening, Mr President!

Each taking a step back

Chi Yi would have never thought that her dad, Chi Zhonglei, would return from America just because of her.

“Dad—”

The moment Chi Yi entered the main residence, she ran headlong into Chi Zhonglei’s embrace. Like a kid who never grew up, she acted coquettishly with him, “Dad, I miss you so much!”

“Miss me? You miss me yet you are not willing to go to America with me?” There was no way Chi Zhonglei would believe his daughter’s words!

“Dad—” Chi Yi protested, “Let’s not talk about this matter every single time! Grandma, look at him. Wanting to split us up the moment he returned, isn’t that annoying?”

Chi Yi hurriedly snuggled into her Grandma’s embrace and called for help.

“Alright, alright! Stop acting like a spoiled child. Put your bag down and go wash your hands. It’s time to eat,” Grandma Chi coaxed Chi Yi with a smile.

“Alright! Eh? Where’s uncle? Why don’t I see him?” It was then that Chi Yi noticed how Chi Zuxu was nowhere to be found in the living room.

“He just left the company. He will be back soon!”

“Then let’s wait for him before we start.”

“Sure, sure. This is rare. You are finally learning to care for others, little girl,” Grandma lovingly combed through the ponytail on Chi Yi’s head.

“But of course! I am an adult now!”

Chi Yi bounced toward the washroom to wash her hands.

Chi Zuxu returned half an hour later.

For the two brothers who had been separated for more than a year, they were all rather emotional. They chatted non-stop as everyone sat around the dining table. As they were apart for so long and had many topics to talk about, they naturally did not discuss anything to do with Chi Yi. Chi Yi rejoiced over it as she was able to enjoy a comfortable dinner.

Chi Yi finished her meal with the utmost speed. She stood up and wiped her mouth as she said, “Grandma, Grandpa, please eat slowly. I am going to head up to do my assignments!”

“Why are you so anxious? Your assignments are not that urgent, right? Are you full?” Grandma Chi doted on her granddaughter the most. No matter what, her only fear was Chi Yi getting hungry.

“I’m full! I’m full! Dad, when I’m done with my assignments, I will head down to spend time with you!”

Chi Yi left a peck on her dad’s face, causing Chi Zhonglei’s face to be stained with grease. He pushed her away with disdain. “Go on, go on! Making my face all oily and dirty…”

Chi Yi carried her school bag and ran up the stairs.

Grandma Chi sighed. “This little lass has been very obedient lately. Look at that, she is actually beginning to like studying. It is as if the sun has risen from the west.”

“Mom, Chi the Fourth says that she wants to study at a local university. But I wish to bring her with me to the States. What do you think?” Chi Zhonglei asked Grandma Chi.

Grandma Chi let out another sigh. “You’re asking me? If you ask me, I will definitely hope to keep Chi the Fourth by my side. But what kind of parents could bear to be separated from their own children! So, I will listen to your opinion on this matter. You can make the decision by yourself!”

“What about you, Zuxu? You are now Chi the Fourth’s guardian. What do you think?” Chi Zhonglei turned around and asked Chi Zuxu.

Chi Zuxu ceased his eating. After a moment, he said, “I think Chi the Fourth really wants to stay here.”

“Do you mean that I should agree and let her stay here?” Chi Zhonglei was beginning to feel stuck in a difficult position.

Chi Zuxu thought for a moment before saying, “How about this?”

“Hm?”

“Since Chi the Fourth wants to try getting into a university here, then let her do it. If she really gets into a local university, then she is allowed to stay here. But if she doesn’t, then you will bring her to America. Each taking a step back on this matter. What do you think, brother?”
