That strange uncle also walked out. His pace was quite brisk, completely lacking the heavy gait of a man in his fifties and sixties. Chen Shuo didn't even know how this uncle had caught up with him. It was as if one second he was still waiting for the elevator, and the next second, he had already appeared at Chen Shuo's side, giving Chen Shuo a fright.
"Uncle, aren't you going to Building 19? That was Building 19 back there!"
Uncle said: "You're going to the supermarket, right? I happen to be going to buy some fruit as well. I'm going to see someone who likes to eat them."
Chen Shuo was somewhat socially adept: "Oh, I knew it! How could anyone go visit someone empty-handed? You definitely have to be carrying something."
"There are many big and small shops at the entrance of this residential complex. If you feel the things at the small shops are not enough, you can cross the street. There is a very large supermarket diagonally across."
Uncle asked: "If you're going to the supermarket, why don't I go with you!"
Chen Shuo saw that although this uncle had the air of a super elite, his face still looked quite kind.
Without thinking too much, he enthusiastically led the way for Uncle: "Sure, let's go together! That supermarket is huge. Basically whatever you want to buy will be there. There are also some high-end fruits, perfect for giving as gifts."
There was a flash of warmth in Uncle's eyes: "No need for anything too high-end. She likes to eat crisp, sweet apples."
Didn't Su Xiyan also really like to eat apples? This preference was the same as ordinary girls' and didn't quite match her aloof, icy goddess image. Chen Shuo had teased her on purpose before, saying she should pick a fruit more suited to her cool image, otherwise it wouldn't match her temperament.
The person Uncle was going to visit also loved to eat apples.
It seems apples really are popular fruit!
The supermarket was so close to Haiyi Apartments that Chen Shuo and Uncle had only chatted for a few sentences before they were already inside the supermarket.
Chen Shuo pointed at the fruit area: "There, that side has fresh, crisp, sweet apples. Remember to check the origin place. This season, buy Fuji apples from the Northwest, the texture will be better."
Uncle looked at Chen Shuo: "How do you know so clearly?"
Thinking of Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo's eyes were full of tenderness: "My girlfriend likes to eat them."
Uncle's admiration for Chen Shuo increased a bit more: "Not many boys these days treat their girlfriends so thoughtfully!"
"If my daughter finds such a considerate boyfriend in the future, I'll be at ease!"
Chen Shuo was quite proud: "Uncle, use me as the standard when your future son-in-law goes looking. Definitely no mistakes."
Speaking of this, Uncle's face immediately sank, and there was actually a flash of killing intent in his eyes: "However, it seems my daughter already has a boyfriend. For such a big thing, that boy still hasn't taken the initiative to come pay his respects to me!"
"I actually want to ask that boy face-to-face, why he is so ignorant of proper etiquette!"
Oh my! This uncle hadn't even gotten angry yet! He had only said a couple sentences that normal elders would say, but it made people feel as if he were about to pull out a knife and kill someone.
His aura was too strong!
The last time he saw an aura this powerful was with Su Xiyan.
Chen Shuo and this uncle had only just met. How would he know who his daughter's unlucky future husband was?
In any case, he didn't know them, so agreeing with Uncle was definitely correct!
And so, Chen Shuo brought his social skills into full play:
"Uncle, don't be angry over this. I feel that your daughter's boyfriend is just too ignorant of manners!"
"If I were you, I would definitely reconsider whether your daughter and him are suitable to keep dating."
"If it's even more serious, I think Uncle, that you can directly teach that boy a lesson in your position as an elder."
"There's a saying, isn't there? If his parents don't teach their child well, naturally there will be others who come to teach in their place."
"Therefore, Uncle, when you meet your daughter's boyfriend later, you definitely shouldn't hold back! When it's time to act, you have to act decisively and fiercely! You have to establish your authority on the first meeting, make that youngster know who is the elder to be respected."
Although Uncle had a powerful aura, when it came to his daughter's potential son-in-law, he didn't have much experience.
Hearing Chen Shuo's impassioned words, Uncle felt they made a lot of sense and nodded slightly, lost in thought.
Chen Shuo thought to himself, things were going to be exciting now! He wondered who the unlucky neighbor was? It seemed tonight he could prick up his ears and listen for sounds to see if there was a potential son-in-law getting lectured by his future father-in-law.
Heeheehee~~ who doesn't like gossip?
As they were talking, Chen Shuo and Uncle had already arrived at the fruit stall.
Chen Shuo felt this uncle seemed a little familiar?
But he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Chen Shuo and this aura-filled uncle seemed to get along very well. Chen Shuo even took the initiative to help Uncle pick out apples. Chen Shuo looked very experienced choosing fruit. It was obvious he did these things often.
Uncle's gaze towards Chen Shuo also softened quite a bit.
Chen Shuo put a bag of apples he had weighed into Uncle's shopping cart: "Uncle, if you're only buying apples, you can go check out now. The checkout counters are over there, just turn the corner and you'll see them."
Uncle joked: "If my daughter didn't have a boyfriend, I actually think you're pretty good."
Chen Shuo waved his hands repeatedly: "That won't work. I already have a girlfriend."
Uncle spoke forcefully: "That's unimportant."
Chen Shuo: ......
Were there still parents who would force relationships in this day and age?
"Uh, don't get unhappy Uncle, but..."
Chen Shuo had a somewhat boastful expression: "My girlfriend is definitely prettier than your daughter."
"Prettier??" Uncle seemed to have heard the biggest joke of the century and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha! If we're talking gentle and other things, my daughter definitely can't compare to your girlfriend."
"But when it comes to looks, if anyone dares to claim to be prettier than my daughter, I'd like to see them try."
Chen Shuo was covered in black lines. He thought, could this be a dad who doted on his daughter to the point he couldn't tell beauty from ugliness?
But when speaking reasonably, of course in a father's eyes, his own daughter would be the prettiest.
In Chen Shuo's heart, Su Xiyan was the prettiest!
Therefore, there was no need to continue debating this topic of who was prettier.
Luckily, Uncle didn't seem to want to argue with Chen Shuo either. He pushed his shopping cart towards the checkout counter.
Uncle looked back at Chen Shuo's retreating figure. His good impression of this unfamiliar boy seemed to have grown stronger.
What a good young man! In this day and age where people were fickle, someone who could dote on his girlfriend so attentively was truly rare!
Uncle even secretly made up his mind: he would definitely use this boy as the standard to demand from his precious daughter's boyfriend! If he couldn't meet these standards, then he would use all the methods Chen Shuo had just mentioned!
After finishing checking out, Uncle walked out of the supermarket holding the apples.
As he walked, he answered a phone call. His voice was steady yet powerful: "Mm! There's a vampire on the move? Okay, I understand."
