The class leader's mother asked me if I was envious of male celebrities in the entertainment industry. Do you think it's forgivable for them to abandon their wives when they see a prettier woman?
How is that possible! She just said my future ambition is to be a gang leader, which is not a good thing. Now she said my future ambition is to be a celebrity (the kind that plays around with women), which is even more not a good thing. Are you kidding me! Even if I really become a member of the underworld, I'll still be a loyal member of the underworld! On the battlefield, I will never abandon any of my brothers!
Even if there was a one in a billion chance that I would become a movie star that was popular with women, I would never abandon any of my wives for the sake of beauty!
Eh? There's a problem with the second half of my sentence, it seems like I'm hinting a lot about my wife … Luckily I didn't say it in front of Auntie Lin.
"Crack"
The sound of plates falling to the floor and breaking into pieces came from the kitchen.
I was surprised: If the person washing the dishes was Gong CaiCai, I wouldn't be surprised if all the plates broke. But the class leader has always been very careful, so it's rare for her to break plates.
"Ye Lin, can you come and help me clean up?" The class leader asked me for help in the kitchen.
Auntie Lin frowned and said with a smile that wasn't a smile: "I can't believe she's willing to break the plates in order to cover for you!"
I got up and wanted to help the class leader, but Auntie Lin stopped me: "Shasha, how can you let a guest do work? If you're afraid it'll prick your hands, just leave it there, I'll clean it up later. "
Then she forced me to sit back down with her gaze.
"Do you hate my daughter?" Auntie Lin asked me coldly.
"Why would I hate her?" I didn't understand.
"Oh … if you don't hate her, then you like her?"
"If you say you like her …" I hesitated, not knowing what the correct answer was.
Auntie Lin lowered her voice in order to not let her daughter hear: "If you really like my daughter, then for his own good, I hope you don't get too close to her."
She finally said her true goal.
"Due to biological instincts, young girls tend to get hot-headed and become interested in strong boys like you who are good at fighting."
"But that's only a remnant of a primitive human hunter society. In today's era, relying on brute force to fight won't have a good ending."
He said a few academic words, befitting his identity as a researcher.
"If you truly love my daughter, you wouldn't want to see her suffer misfortune and be hurt physically and mentally because of you, right?"
The class leader was squatting on the kitchen floor cleaning up the broken dishes. She would turn her head to peek at us from time to time, but it was clear she couldn't hear our conversation.
"Auntie Lin, how are you going to talk about hurting the class leader?" I furrowed my brows, "We haven't even started yet, what about the future …"
Auntie Lin interrupted me, "Didn't it already happen once? During the class outing organized by my daughter, you secretly went deep into the undeveloped mountains, fell into a bear trap, and almost died. My daughter cried for you, right? Although her friends didn't see it directly, the tear stains on her face shouldn't be for someone else, right? "
Did they even investigate this kind of thing? Objectively speaking, I did make the class leader sad for me.
"Moreover, I also heard that you fought with other hooligans who went to Cuisong Mountain to catch butterflies for a rare butterfly that was said to be worth five hundred thousand US dollars. You almost lost your life because of it."
From an outsider's point of view, it was indeed true. If I wanted to refute it, I would have to reveal my relationship with Ai Mi, as well as my grievances with Ai ShuQiao. I didn't even say anything to the class leader, let alone the class leader's mother.
"You're only 14 years old, yet you're doing something so dangerous because of greed. Do you think I can let you date my daughter without worry?"
Auntie Lin asked me in a tone that indicated she didn't need an answer.
In all fairness, from Auntie Lin's point of view, based on the limited information she had, I was indeed not the harmless type that she could let her daughter interact with.
Seeing my eyes dim, Auntie Lin struck while the iron was hot and continued: "You also know that Shu Sha is currently in the third year of middle school and is about to face her high school entrance exams. This is a very crucial year. If she is affected by an accident during this time, for example, getting a boyfriend, or having to adapt to a new environment because of transferring schools, then wouldn't it be a tragedy?"
"What's more, Shu Sha is most likely going to high school in Shanghai. Although I haven't said anything to her yet, that's probably the final outcome. "
It's definitely a good thing for the class leader to reunite with her family and no longer be a left-behind child. I should be happy for her, but I don't know why, but there was a sense of loneliness in my heart that I couldn't get rid of.
"I won't disturb the class leader's studies."
My voice was a bit hoarse when I expressed my stance.
"I also don't have the qualifications to make irresponsible remarks about which city the class leader attends. So, Auntie Lin, you don't have to reason with me anymore. I know what you want to achieve, I won't pester your daughter."
Auntie Lin was a bit surprised that I agreed so straightforwardly. She looked at my lonely expression and seemed to realize something, so her tone softened a bit, "I … won't deprive you of all your opportunities. If you really want to, you can try to get the same score as my Shu Sha and apply to the same high school."
A wry smile appeared on the corner of my mouth — — she really thinks I'm a bookworm! If the State Education Commission immediately abolished all liberal arts, then there might be a slight chance.
The disappointment on my face did not escape Auntie Lin's eyes.
"You think you have no chance in high school? Then … isn't there still university? I heard your science grades are pretty good. If you're willing to double your efforts in high school, then it's not impossible to get into the same university as Shu Sha, right? "
"Get into the same university?"
"That's right, get into the same university." Auntie Lin nodded and said meaningfully, "If Shu Sha still hasn't given up on becoming a police officer and applies for the police academy, you can also apply for the same police academy as her — — wouldn't that be easier for you?"
I unknowingly began to think about this possibility: I never paid attention to the police academy's recruitment criteria and application process, but my physical fitness could definitely be considered an advantage. Wearing a police uniform together, going on missions together, and even holding a police dog together … Even though I definitely look like a spy who infiltrated the police force, it doesn't feel bad!
The hope that reignited in my eyes was also caught by Auntie Lin.
"How about it, do you want to consider my suggestion? Romance isn't the same as sweet-talking or sweet-talking. In the end, it's only meaningful if two people work hard together. If you're willing to overcome your difficulties and stand the test of time, I might change my stance and support you. "
I really couldn't figure out what the class leader's mother was thinking with her words and her smile that didn't diminish from beginning to end.
Does she want to cut off my hopes of dating her daughter, or does she want us to focus on our studies and work hard to establish a stable foundation before we talk about romance?
Auntie Lin felt the burden on her shoulders lightened a lot after she felt her goal was achieved. Her tone also became more sincere and gentle.
"In the end, girls have to get married when they grow up … Although it's a parent's duty to support their children's dreams, personally, I don't want Shu Sha to become a police officer. Do you understand?"
I nodded. Even a police officer could face a knife-wielding criminal, let alone the more dangerous criminal police.
"That's why I sometimes think it might not be a bad thing if Shu Sha has a husband who loves her so much that she can sacrifice her career and not do dangerous police work."
Auntie Lin's gaze drifted towards the class leader who was cleaning the kitchen.
"I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet, but even if my Shu Sha doesn't work in the future and stays at home as a full-time housewife, she would still be one in a million."
I wholeheartedly expressed my agreement. Just the class leader's cooking alone is already close to the level of a five-star hotel. Does it cost money to hire a chef? Does it cost money to hire a beautiful chef? Does it cost money to hire a beautiful chef to warm the bed?!
"It's because my child is outstanding that I hope the partner she spends the rest of her life with is also outstanding." Auntie Lin's tone changed. "You don't meet my standards right now, but if you're willing to work hard and improve, I won't always stop you. After all, love is free now, and this is a private matter between two people. Even parents have no right to interfere."
"Whether it's in school or in life, Shu Sha has always made me worry. That's why when I heard about you from Xiao Zhe, it was very sudden and unexpected. I couldn't control my emotions — — don't think that I'm targeting you. At this critical juncture, I would get angry at any boy that gets too close to my daughter. Do you understand?"
"I understand." I nodded while pondering: Did Auntie Lin investigate her daughter's private life first or did Shu Zhe report her first? If Shu Zhe was the one who reported me, then I'll have to take my revenge …
As if she guessed what I was thinking, Auntie Lin continued: "Don't think that Xiao Zhe caused you to be scolded by me! I was the one who asked him for the details and he didn't dare to not tell me. Did you know that Xiao Zhe put in a lot of good words for you? He said that you once saved him under the bridge, and that you stood up for him when someone bullied him in school. What's even more ridiculous is that he said that you know a very rich relative, and that you might inherit a huge fortune one day, so it's not a loss to marry his sister off … "
Shu Zhe, that's enough! How can you face your sister! In your eyes, your sister is used to cling to the rich and powerful! Ever since you found out that Ai Mi is my 'distant cousin', you've been thinking that I have a rich relative among my relatives. Maybe I'm also a hidden rich second generation!
Auntie Lin shook her head, "I don't agree with Xiao Zhe's prioritizing money. If you really are the descendant of some rich and powerful family, I wouldn't want Shu Sha to climb up to that high branch … I'm satisfied as long as my daughter can live a stable life. But if Xiao Zhe holds this view and sets his sights on some rich young ladies in the future, it will bother me a lot …"
You don't need to bother me at all! Actually, your son is more popular than your daughter! Right now, Shu Zhe is being pursued and fought over by four men with the identity of 'Xiao Hong'! Auntie Lin, you might as well think of yourself as having two daughters!
