Mrs. Yue’s words, ‘wait until we go home’, strung a string in Yan Qingsi’s heart. The word ‘home’ was too far away from her.
Ever since Mrs. Yue and Yue Tingfeng became part of her life, Yan Qingsi’s life finally had a bit of warmth, just like the bowl of porridge that they sent over early in the morning.
It did not taste like the porridge bought on the streets, but handmade by a mother.
“We’re fine, just some bruises.”
Mrs. Yue looked at Yan Qingsi’s face and sighed, “Those are injuries too. I’ve seen the photos online, it was so dangerous.”
Yue Tingfeng did not speak. He searched through the food that Mrs. Yue brought, frowned, and asked, “Mom, is there no meat?”
Mrs. Yue extended a hand and patted him. “What meat? I brought you food to eat this early in the morning, be grateful.”
Yan Qingsi took a sip of the lily and red jujube porridge. It was not very sweet and it left an aftertaste in her mouth. She smiled. “I like it.”
Mrs. Yue stroked her head. “Eat some more.”
Yue Tingfeng pouted. Drinking a tasteless porridge, ah… His face hurt!
Mrs. Yue exclaimed suddenly. “Hey son, why is your face injured?”
Yue Tingfeng was left speechless…
He spoke angrily, “Mom, you didn’t even look me in the eye since you came in.”
“Yes!” Mrs. Yue answered without thinking straight away. She did not look at him in the eye.
After all, she had seen this silly boy for over twenty years. She had looked at him every day, what else was there to see?
Yue Tingfeng bit into a bun with hate. “Mom… let’s not be like this.”
Mrs. Yue asked, innocent, “Like what?”
Yan Qingsi nudged Mrs. Yue to look at Helan Fangnian.
Mrs. Yue was surprised. “Oh, Fangnian’s face is hurt too. The two of you didn’t fight, did you?”
Yue Tingfeng gritted his teeth. “No…”
Yan Qingsi ate a mouthful of porridge and said, “They slipped when they went to the bathroom together last night.”
Mrs. Yue stared. “Slipped… in the bathroom together? Are you lying to a fool?”
Yue Tingfeng looked embarrassed while Helan Fangnian just turned his head to look out the window.
Yue Tingfeng answered, perfunctory, “It really happened.”
Mrs. Yue asked seriously, “Did the two of you help hold each other’s pants and accidentally slip together when you two were unstable?”
“Hahaha!” Yan Qingsi could not hold in her laughter and laughed out loud.
Yue Tingfeng gritted his teeth. “Mom!”
He did such so much last night and they had yet to strengthen their relationship… ‘My dear mother, please stop digging a hole for me now!’
Mrs. Yue pouted and went over to sit with Yan Qingsi. “I just asked, why are you so angry? Do you have something that you’re afraid someone will discover?”
Yue Tingfeng did not know what to say. He winked at Yan Qingsi, wanting her to say something.
Yan Qingsi turned sideways, avoiding his eyes.
Compared with Mrs. Yue’s early arrival, Mrs. Helan and Helan Xiuse arrived later at nine o’clock.
After Helan Xiuse entered the room, greeted Mrs. Yue and the others, she said hurriedly, “Brother, you must be hungry. I’m sorry I’m late again. The traffic was terrible, it’s all my fault.”
Helan Fangnian stroked her head. “It’s fine.”
Mrs. Helan came in, ignoring Mrs. Yue. She did not look at Yue Tingfeng and Yan Qingsi either. She walked before Helan Fangnian. “What happened to your face?”
Helan Fangnian turned his head sideways, avoiding Mrs. Helan’s gaze. “Nothing, I slipped in the bathroom last night?”
Helan Xiuse suddenly said, “Tingfeng’s face is injured too?”
Yue Tingfeng rolled his eyes, ignoring her. He suddenly pitied Helan Fangnian… This family was truly annoying.
