Chapter 19: Older Than You or Older Than Us
Standing at his front door, Xiao Yu’s hand trembled as he held the key.
How long has it been since Mom last hit me?
I left my blind date and ran off, haven’t been home for two days.
Will I die a horrible death?
At this moment, Xiao Yu felt like an ant on a hot pan, desperately thinking of a strategy.
Wait, I have a girlfriend?
Xiao Yu brightened up, and his hand stopped shaking.
This was the only self-saving method he could think of.
He had to try, make one last effort.
Quietly opening the door, Xiao Yu cautiously walked into the living room.
The living room was pitch black.
Strange, it’s only ten o’clock, right?
Dad and Mom went to bed this early?
The heart that had leaped into his throat settled back into his chest.
Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief.
He wasn’t afraid of facing fierce, brutal criminals, so why was he so scared of his mom?
Childhood trauma!
Mom’s way of disciplining kids was very straightforward.
One word: whack!
I have to admit, this method of disciplining children is incorrect.
But it’s very effective!
Of course, having a mom who was a former provincial sanda champion. (tln :google it, its supposed to be a martial arts championship)
She knew exactly how to manage disciplining her children and husband…
Just when Xiao Yu finished changing his shoes.
Click.
The living room light turned on.
Xiao Yu: Σ⊙▽⊙！
His pupils slightly contracted, his neck stiffly turned inch by inch, looking at the sofa.
Sitting on the sofa, his mom had a cold expression, slowly putting down the remote.
His dad sat meekly beside her, not daring to breathe loudly, continuously signaling to his son.
Son, you’re on your own!
Mom: (￢_￢)
Xiao Yu: (￣ω￣;)
Time slowly passed, the entire living room silent.
Liu Yunqing sat like an empress, her eyes slanted, glaring at her son.
Sweat beaded on Xiao Yu’s forehead.
He wished he could add a buff of not changing expression even if the mountain collapsed.
But… I can’t do it, your highness!
“Come here.” Liu Yunqing spoke.
Xiao Yu quickly went to his mom’s side, sitting obediently.
“Do you think not talking will solve it?”
Liu Yunqing reached out and twisted her son’s ear, sneering.
“No, I don’t.”
Xiao Yu smiled apologetically, “I never get tired of seeing you angry, Mom!”
“Pfft!” Xiao Shengguo burst out laughing.
He gave his son a thumbs-up.
Liu Yunqing’s mouth twitched, holding back her laughter, “Continue.”
“And Mom, you’re so beautiful.”
Xiao Yu said earnestly, “I couldn’t bear to interrupt!”
“Ufufufu!”
Liu Yunqing laughed, letting go of her son’s ear.
Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief, scared to death.
Xiao Shengguo’s eyes lit up, mentally shouting: i just learned something new!
To be fair, Liu Yunqing did look quite good.
She might not have been a national beauty when young, but she was valiant and heroic, winning national women’s sanda competition awards.
Otherwise, why would Xiao Shengguo, a handsome guy, be interested in her?
Speaking of Xiao Shengguo’s looks, a tall guy at 183 cm, with an elegant demeanor, handsome features, and eyes like deep black pools, exuding the charm that made young girls scream.
Otherwise, the couple wouldn’t have such a handsome son.
“What happened the other day, leaving your blind date and running off with another woman?”
Liu Yunqing raised her eyebrows, “Be honest, what’s going on?”
“Aiya, the kid just got back, why don’t you ease up a bit?”
Seeing his wife wasn’t too angry, Xiao Shengguo tried to mediate.
But, Liu Yunqing’s gaze swept over, making Xiao Shengguo fall silent instantly.
Useless… Xiao Yu rolled his eyes at his dad, quickly putting on a humble expression, holding his mom’s arm, smiling, “What other woman? That’s… your future daughter-in-law. I just didn’t dare tell you two before, afraid you wouldn’t agree. Mom, you asked me to go on a blind date, but she found out and came to find me!”
“What?”
Liu Yunqing and Xiao Shengguo exclaimed.
Their son already had a girlfriend?
Why didn’t we know?
“Really?”
Liu Yunqing doubted, pressing, “Why were you afraid we wouldn’t agree?”
“Well…”
Xiao Yu pretended to hesitate, “She’s older than me, a lot older!”
“How much older?” Xiao Shengguo asked, concerned.
After all, it’s their son’s girlfriend, and he kept it from them.
Is she older than you? Or older than us, the parents?
The couple exchanged glances.
Both saw the fear on each other’s faces.
They felt the urge to buy heart medicine…
Seeing his parents freaked out, Xiao Yu secretly laughed, solemnly saying, “She’s… six years older than me!”
“Phew!”
The couple exhaled in unison.
This brat, almost scared us to death.
Nowadays, many couples have an age difference of more than ten years, what’s six years?
“Though she’s not young, it’s not unacceptable. The main thing is her character.”
As the head of the family, Xiao Shengguo was about to give his opinion.
“Quiet!”
Rolling her eyes at her husband, Liu Yunqing looked at her son, “Bring her home tomorrow, or I’ll beat you to death!”
Xiao Yu: “…”
I knew it would turn out like this!
