"It's all your fault, you jerk!"
In the living room, Tang Yun threw a cushion at Su Chen with a face full of embarrassed anger.
Now the misunderstanding with the parents was complete!
No matter how he tried to explain, his parents probably thought he was just having a spat with him.
"It really isn't my fault." Su Chen's face fell, looking innocent as he spread his hands, "You saw it, I tried to explain, but who knew..."
Su Chen felt helpless. He had to admire Mrs. Tang's formidable presence!
When Tang Yun heard what Su Chen said, her face also fell, she slumped on the sofa pouting, sulking by herself.
But the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She and this guy had absolutely nothing going on, so why were they being lumped together?
She glanced at Su Chen next to her and noticed he wasn't bothered at all, even casually picking up a banana from the coffee table and starting to eat it with relish.
Suddenly, Su Chen noticed Tang Yun staring intently at him—or more specifically, at the banana in his hand—and said with loaded meaning,
"Why are you staring at me like that, do you want a banana too?"
"I don't want one!" Tang Yun huffed.
"Have one, eating bananas is good for your body, not only does it beautify and nourish the skin, but it also helps with physical and mental health!"
Su Chen plucked one off and handed it to Tang Yun, his face wearing a cheeky, mischievous smile.
Tang Yun wasn't naive about matters between men and women. She was slightly stunned and immediately understood the implication of his words.
Tang Yun spat with her face blushing red.
"How am I disgusting?" Su Chen was unhappy, "You kept staring at my banana. I thought you wanted it, so I gave it to you. Even if you don't thank me, there's no need to insult me."
"You jerk! Who wants to eat your banana?"
The anger that had been building up in Tang Yun's heart suddenly exploded. She lunged at Su Chen with bared teeth and claws.
Caught off guard by Tang Yun's sudden fury, Su Chen was momentarily stunned. In that instant, Tang Yun had pinned him down on the sofa.
Having the upper hand, Tang Yun straddled him and started raining down punches on his chest like raindrops.
The sofa was quite narrow and Su Chen didn't dare move too much for fear of accidentally flipping Tang Yun off. Moreover, her punches felt more like tickles to him and caused no harm at all; in fact, Su Chen rather enjoyed it!
"You bad egg, for bullying me, for bullying me."
Tang Yun continued to hit and curse, and, as she did, she started to cry pitifully, tears seemingly unstoppable.
Su Chen also felt frustrated. I'm the one getting beaten and haven't cried yet; how come you, the attacker, are crying first?
"Alright, alright, stop crying," Su Chen grabbed her fists, "You've hit and you've scolded, isn't it time to cool off?"
"Bad guy, it's all because of you!"
After hitting and scolding Su Chen for a while, Tang Yun's anger had somewhat subsided,
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, she snorted displeasedly at him, reproachfully glancing at him. That glance was genuinely full of bashful charm, utterly captivating!
Su Chen did not expect Ms. Tang to show such a side. His heart stirred, and he couldn't help but flash a wicked smile:
"Ms. Tang, since uncle and aunt believe we've 'that,' why don't we just go along with our elders' wishes?"
The two of them jumped in shock, turned their heads to look, and saw Pei Rou and Tang Mingji staring at them in astonishment.
But most importantly, at that moment, Tang Yun was still straddling Su Chen, and that posture was simply...
Getting caught in the act by someone's parents was quite embarrassing for Su Chen, and it was also a moment of impulse.
At the same time, he felt a bit frustrated; how come his misdeeds were interrupted twice in a row? A few days ago at home, he was caught by Wang's mom and today, even worse, he was caught by Pei Rou's parents.
Su Chen immediately concluded that one should never commit misdeeds in the living room...
However, unlike Wang's mom who turned and fled, Pei Rou came over with a radiant face, while Tang Mingji followed behind her with an embarrassed look.
Seeing his mother approach, Tang Yun was shocked and realized she was still straddling Su Chen. She quickly climbed off him.
"Is there anything left to say now?"
Pei Rou glanced at the two and spoke meaningfully.
Su Chen sighed deeply, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Yeah, what was there left to say?
Even if he said something now, would it matter?
Tang Yun's face turned even redder, her shyness apparent, and she felt furious at Su Chen, the troublemaker!
Now, any attempt at explanation would only make things worse...
"Alright, go wash up and get ready for dinner."
Pei Rou didn't tease them any further and went off to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Hey, you guys should be a bit more mindful of the influence in the future."
Tang Mingji sighed slightly and went to help in the kitchen as well.
After Tang Mingji and his wife left, Su Chen asked somewhat uncertainly.
"How should I know?" Tang Yun, frustrated, snapped, "Deal with the mess you created yourself!"
"How do I deal with it?" Su Chen's face showed his difficulty, "Do you think explaining would still work?"
Tang Yun looked at Su Chen, her eyes almost spitting fire, furious that he had again taken liberties with her and caused her parents to completely misunderstand her!
"You don't care, I don't care either!"
Su Chen stood up and headed to the bathroom...
Tang Yun watched his back, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him to death!
During dinner, Pei Rou was even more enthusiastic towards Su Chen, to the point that even someone as thick-skinned as him felt embarrassed.
Moreover, Tang Mingji often looked at him with a beaming smile.
With such care, Su Chen dared not say much, and simply kept his head down eating.
"Su Chen, you want to buy a house, is it because you want to move out with Yun'er?"
Pei Rou suddenly asked while eating.
At Pei Rou's words, Su Chen nearly spat out a mouthful of rice and looked at her stammeringly!
Before Su Chen could explain anything, Pei Rou continued:
"Actually, there's no need for you to move out. You can move in with Yun'er upstairs. Her father and I are very open-minded, and we are seldom at home, so we won't disturb you."
Su Chen was completely baffled; he could only silently admire Mrs. Tang's invincibility and strength!
