Chapter 288 Teacher Yin, I Want to Eat Something Different

Mother Yin came out after her gastroscopy, looking a little pale.

Leng Keyan quickly helped her sit down, handed over some warm water, and carefully recorded every word the doctor said on his phone.

Father Yin watched the scene quietly and nudged his wife with his elbow, lowering his voice: “This young man seems all right so far.”

By around 5 p.m., all the examinations were finally done.

Most of the results would take a few days, with only a few routine checks available immediately.

Mother Yin’s stomach did have some issues, but nothing serious. Further diagnosis and treatment were needed.

Leng Keyan glanced at the time and suggested, “Mom, Dad, it’s getting late. How about we go have something to eat first?”

“I know a restaurant that serves dishes just like back home. It’s not far, and I guarantee you’ll like it!”

The restaurant in the mall had an elegant setting, and Leng Keyan specially requested a private room by the window.

He ordered all the dishes himself, based on what Yin Siyao had mentioned about his parents’ preferences.

Father Yin loved braised pork, Mother Yin preferred steamed fish, and there was a spicy-sour shredded potato dish both of them liked.

“Xiaoyan, how did you know we liked these?”

Mother Yin was a little surprised.

Leng Keyan smiled as he poured tea for the couple: “Teacher Yin told me. He said your braised pork is the best in the world, and nothing he eats outside can compare.”

“He also mentioned that Dad particularly likes crispy shredded potatoes.”

Father Yin’s expression softened, and he took a sip of tea.

He didn’t speak, but the smile in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.

“Dad, try this—it’s made just right.”

Leng Keyan eagerly served his father some food.

“Mom, don’t just eat meat—have some vegetables too; it’s good for your stomach.”

He then served his mother some greens.

Seeing this young man, attentive and thoughtful, who remembered her son’s preferences perfectly, much of the complex feeling she had over her son having a boyfriend and not coming home for New Year quietly melted away.

The meal was joyful and harmonious.

Yin’s parents were well taken care of, and their smiles never left their faces.

Leng Keyan had completely leveled up to being “our little Yan.”

The three were happily chatting when Yin Siyao sent a message: [The surgery just finished. Where are you guys?]

Leng Keyan replied: [Having dinner with Mom and Dad. Don’t worry, focus on your work!]

He even attached a photo of the elderly couple smiling.

Looking at the picture, Yin Siyao couldn’t help but smile.

This kid… he really knows how to handle things.

By the time they finished dinner, it was already past seven. Outside the mall, night had fallen, and the city lights were just turning on.

Father Yin looked at the sky and said to Leng Keyan: “Xiaoyan, thank you for today.”

“It’s late. Take us to a hotel. We’ll stay in A City for a few days until the test results come back, then head home.”

Leng Keyan froze for a moment: “Hotel? You don’t need to stay at a hotel. Our home is big, and we’ve prepared a room just for you.”

Father Yin waved his hand: “We’re from the countryside; living in the city isn’t comfortable for us. Besides, you young people have your own life—it’d be inconvenient if we stayed over.”

Mother Yin nodded in agreement: “Yes, yes, a hotel is fine. We’ll be comfortable on our own.”

Leng Keyan could hear the subtle concern in their words: it wasn’t that they didn’t want to stay, they just didn’t want to inconvenience them or disturb the young couple’s life.

“Mom, Dad, listen to me.”

Leng Keyan looked seriously at the two of them. “The house is really big. Each room has its own bathroom and balcony. You’ll have your own room, and whatever you do won’t affect us.”

“Also…”

He lowered his voice, putting on a calculating expression: “Hotels in A City are expensive. A decent one costs seven or eight hundred a night.”

“If you stay for several days, that’s thousands! Why not save that money to buy some supplements for your health?”

“Besides, Teacher Yin works hard for his money—every little bit saved counts.”

Hearing this, Mother Yin immediately wavered.

She looked at her husband: “Old Yin, Xiaoyan has a point. Hotels are expensive—seven or eight hundred a night…”

Father Yin hesitated: “But…”

Leng Keyan’s expression turned earnest: “Even seven or eight hundred a night is just a regular budget hotel. Teacher Yin would definitely upgrade you to something better.”

“If you stay a few days, that’s almost half of Teacher Yin’s monthly salary gone. This money could fund a whole vacation for you.”

Father Yin: “A City is so expensive. Just that one regular meal already cost five or six hundred…”

They only had twenty thousand yuan with them, probably enough just for hotel stays.

If the test results tomorrow weren’t good and treatment was needed…

Seeing Father Yin’s expression soften, Leng Keyan deployed his trump card: “If you don’t stay at home, Teacher Yin would blame me for not taking good care of you.”

“He’s been mad at me for over half a month. If he knew I made you stay at a hotel, he’d scold me for sure.”

Mother Yin immediately objected: “Xiaoyan is so thoughtful. How could that kid stay mad at you?”

Leng Keyan pouted: “At my graduation party, I got a little too happy and drank too much, so Teacher Yin got angry…”

“That kid… he’s grown, and yet he’s still sulking over such a small thing? Unbelievable!”

Mother Yin felt for Leng Keyan: “When we go home, I’ll talk to him properly. You’re still young; you don’t even know how to handle him yet.”

Father Yin sighed: “Alright, then. We’ll leave it to you.”

“No trouble at all!”

Leng Keyan immediately beamed: “Let’s go home!”

By 8 p.m., Leng Keyan had brought the elderly couple back to the apartment.

The 300-square-meter flat was brightly lit. As soon as he entered, he turned on the lights and air conditioning, then checked the guest room he had meticulously prepared.

The sheets were freshly changed, pillows were moderately soft, and slippers, pajamas, and toiletries were all ready.

“Dad, Mom, this is your room. The bathroom is here, towels are new, and toothbrushes and toothpaste are ready,” Leng Keyan explained attentively. “The balcony overlooks the city at night. If you can’t sleep, you can come out and have a look.”

“There’s fruit and drinks in the fridge. Help yourselves.”

Standing in the room, looking at the countless city lights outside and at this young man hustling around, Father Yin felt a lump in his throat.

He patted Leng Keyan’s shoulder, voice choked: “Good boy. You’ve worked hard.”

Leng Keyan grinned, eyes curved like crescent moons: “Dad, that’s too formal. We’re family—no need for ‘worked hard.’”

Mother Yin also came over, holding Leng Keyan’s hand, inspecting him from head to toe. The more she looked, the more she liked him: “Siyao is so lucky.”

Leng Keyan was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratching his head, but the smile on his lips refused to fade.

Back in the master bedroom, Leng Keyan couldn’t wait to message Yin Siyao: [Report, Teacher Yin. Father-in-law and mother-in-law have safely returned home! Excellent performance, requesting commendation!]

After a while, Yin Siyao replied: [Good job. Dinner is on me tomorrow.]

Looking at the message, Leng Keyan smiled like a fool: [Teacher Yin, I want to eat something different~]
