"Mom, you're back!" I fixed my collar one last time, and pulled open the door.
"Why are you so slow! Didn't I already tell you to wait for us at the door! "My mom looked weirdly at me, who was panting.
"About this … We have guests at home," I said awkwardly.
At this moment, Zhao Yanyan also walked out of my bedroom, and said quietly after seeing my mom, "Hello Auntie!"
"Aiya! We have guests at home, Leilei why didn't you say so earlier, you didn't eat lunch right? Old Liu, go and wash the fish, and make the food quickly! "My mom started ordering, causing my dad to be chased into the kitchen before he could even change.
"Auntie, don't busy yourself, I'm fine," Zhao Yanyan quickly stopped my mom after seeing that she was busy cooking right after she came back.
"It's okay, we still have to eat even if you didn't come, let Leilei's dad work, we'll talk for a bit," my mom said affectionately.
I'm going to faint, what's wrong with my mom, she's even more passionate than me after seeing a beauty, last time it was Xia Jing, this time it was Zhao Yanyan.
"Girl, sit, don't just stand! Leilei, hurry and pour some water for your classmate, aren't there drinks on the balcony, bring some over! "My mom roared at me.
"Auntie, there's really no need to trouble, I don't drink water," Zhao Yanyan quickly waved her hand.
"It's okay, let Liu Lei work," My mom didn't know that Zhao Yanyan would feel even more heartache if she tormented me like this.
As expected, Zhao Yanyan looked at me apologetically, I gave her an indifferent smile in return. When I brought the drinks over, I heard my mom chatting with Zhao Yanyan, "Girl, what's your name."
"Auntie, I'm called Zhao Yanyan," Zhao Yanyan also relaxed a lot, and didn't have the restraint from before.
"Zhao Yanyan, that's a good name. You're in the same class as Leilei? "My mom asked with a smile.
"Yeah, we're deskmates," Zhao Yanyan answered.
"Oh, so you're deskmates! Deskmates are good, you have to help each other with your studies! "My mom took the drink from my hands and gave it to Zhao Yanyan.
"Auntie, Liu Lei doesn't need other people's help in his studies!" Zhao Yanyan started to flatter me again.
"Then let Leilei help you," hearing Zhao Yanyan praise me, my mom was also very happy.
"Mom, just speak less, Zhao Yanyan is second in the year, she doesn't need my help," I also opened a bottle of drink, to be honest, I was a bit thirsty. The whole morning of XXOO was physical labor.
"Ah, that's even better! One of you is first, the other is second, you should interact more in the future! "My mom was able to hold hands with Zhao Yanyan in such a short amount of time.
"About that, Leilei, go help your dad in the kitchen, don't just stand there," my mom saw that I wasn't doing anything, so she started to find something for me to do.
I gave Zhao Yanyan a look, and signaled her to not talk nonsense. Zhao Yanyan immediately gave me a "don't worry" expression.
"Dad, there's no need to prepare so many dishes, just deal with it," I said to my dad who was cleaning up the fish.
"Is that okay? We have to act like it when someone comes over!" My dad put down the cleaned fish and began to wash the pot.
"Oh yeah, Liu Lei. Tell dad, what's going on with that girl? "My dad finally had some free time, and began to interrogate me.
"What do you mean what's going on? She's my deskmate! "I started to act dumb again.
"Deskmate? You can let a deskmate come to our house? Brat, tell me the truth, do you like her? " I didn't think that my dad wouldn't avoid it at all, and went straight to the point, causing me to not know how to answer.
"I — — I — —" I really didn't know what to say.
"Leilei, there are no outsiders in the kitchen. It's just us two talking, your dad is telling you, if you like her, then tell her as soon as possible, don't drag it on. I think that girl is pretty pretty, there must be a lot of people who like her right? I'm right, right? Since it's not a big deal for kids your age to date, thinking back to when I first met your mom, I was around your age, your old man, I, will tell you something, that's to strike first and gain the upper hand, thinking back to back then, if I didn't make my stand to your mom first, you might not be here now! "My dad said quietly to me with a smile of exultation.
I was completely shocked hearing that, was this still my dad? Why was he completely different from the serious and upright father he usually was?
"Hai — — Hai — —! Don't just space out, hurry and help me wash the vegetables. Don't tell your mom what I told you just now, this is our old Liu family's ancestral esoterica! "My dad coughed a few times and said to me.
Ancestral esoterica? Why haven't I heard of it before? If you also taught me like this in my previous life, I might have already gotten Zhao Yanyan then.
"Okay now, son! This chick isn't bad, there's nothing to say about her looks, don't disappoint your old man! "My dad patted my shoulder, and put all the fish scales on me.
"I — —" I awkwardly didn't know how to answer, was I supposed to tell him that I already got Zhao Yanyan?
I skillfully helped my dad, actually I know how to make these dishes as well, and I did make them quite a bit in my previous life, but I couldn't show off too much. Even so, my dad still praised me in confusion, saying that I cut the vegetables much more neatly than before.
After us two worked hard for a while, three dishes, one soup, and one fish were quickly placed on the dining table.
"Come over and eat!" My dad arranged the bowls and chopsticks, and shouted towards my mom and Zhao Yanyan, who were chatting happily in the living room.
My mom giggled as she led Zhao Yanyan to the dining table, Zhao Yanyan's eyes were also full of smiles. What were the two of them talking about all this while? Seeing their intimate expressions, my mom couldn't have gotten some goddaughter right?
"Yanyan, you're all hungry right, eat first, don't worry about others! Treat this as your own home, "my mom handed Zhao Yanyan a pair of chopsticks and said.
En? This sentence seems very familiar, I remember the last time I went to Zhao Yanyan's home as a guest, Zhao Yanyan's mom also said this to me.
Thinking to this point, I raised my head, and noticed that Zhao Yanyan was also looking at me, she most likely also thought of this, the two of us looked at each other and smiled.
I was unusually depressed during the meal, my mom kept on getting food for Zhao Yanyan, every time I wanted to move my chopsticks, my mom would take the food away first, I even suspected that I wasn't her biological child. My dad didn't speak much during the meal, most of the time it was my mom talking loudly, it would often be my mom talking about a topic, Zhao Yanyan would either laugh loudly after hearing it, or chatter non-stop, while my dad and I were confused, was this the so-called topic for women?
Furthermore, what made me feel extremely unhappy was that my mom complained more than once, that she regretted giving birth to a boy, how nice would it be to have a daughter, not only can they talk normally, they can also go shopping together. Hearing that, Zhao Yanyan immediately expressed that she would often come to my home when she was free, and chat with my mom, making my mom so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yanyan was like a kitten that successfully stole a fish, and smiled like a thief.
