Xu Weiran: "The most important thing for you right now is to study hard, and keep out of adults’ business!"
Sheng Ning’an: "Got it, Uncle Xu!"
Uncle (Weiran) Xu: ...
Xu Weiran smiled as he put away his phone, his gaze inadvertently falling on Sheng Yeli who was beside him.
Suddenly very curious, when he and that girl spent time together, how did the two of them get along?
After all, one talks a lot while the other is not so chatty.
And that girl has a temperament that could infuriate without paying the consequences. When she’s with Sheng Yeli, does she often confront him the same way she does with me?
But curiosity aside, he dared not ask the other man.
Lest he think I have some sort of feelings towards that girl.
Little did he know, when someone becomes curious about another person, wanting to know more about them, it’s already the beginning of a stirring heart.
After realizing her misunderstanding about the relationship between Sheng Ning’an and Xu Weiran, Song Xiaoyan made a special phone call to Mother Xu to apologize and explain. Mother Xu breathed a sigh of relief when she found out her son hadn’t misled the young lady.
Thank goodness, that boy isn’t too foolish after all.
However, thinking of her son’s attitude, Mother Xu hadn’t completely eased her worries.
A mother knows her son best. If that boy had not the slightest interest in the girl, he definitely wouldn’t have casually used her to get himself out of a bind.
She knew his character very well. He seemed easygoing, but he was not. Even in kindergarten, there were little girls giving him gifts of snacks and toys, which he always accepted with a beaming smile, only to toss them aside the next moment.
Ask him who gave them, he never remembered.
After he entered middle school, even more girls fancied him, with love letters showing up in his backpack every day. Just the same, whenever asked who they were from, he’d say he didn’t remember, never taking it to heart.
Mother Xu actually feared her son might turn into a man who deceives young girls, yet this boy never had a serious relationship even after completing his doctorate.
Of course, he never had any casual relationships either.
There were no shortage of girls who liked him, but not one he liked in return.
Mother Xu had another worry, fearing that her precious son might not be into girls at all.
These days, thoughts have become much more liberal, and online it’s common to see young men together.
Not to mention, the pair usually look quite handsome.
Mother Xu didn’t mind boys dating boys, but if possible, she still hoped her own son would find a girlfriend, which is why she’d been so proactive in introducing him to potential girlfriends.
Who knew he wouldn’t take a fancy to any of them.
When she first heard that her son had a girlfriend, she was actually relieved. But before she could celebrate, she heard that the girl he liked was only a high school freshman.
That’s practically a child; how could her son have the heart to do that?
Mother Xu felt helpless and angry.
Thinking about him preying on an underage girl, she would rather he liked boys.
At least then she wouldn’t have to worry about him breaking the law.
But this was not something she could really comment on, for what if the boy became contrary? What if, with no previous intention, he went after the young girl just to spite her?
So even though she was aware, she could only pretend to be oblivious, perhaps the boy was just acting on a whim and would lose interest in a few days.
Or, alternatively, in a few years, if they really wanted to pursue a relationship when the girl came of age, that wouldn’t be out of the question either.
However, Mother Xu was rather curious, just what did that girl who caught her son’s special attention look like?
