âSo, that was the case, but Sister Ying is rather kind to you!â Chen Mengyan now also addressed Zhao Ying as Sister Ying.
âYes, if it werenât for you and Sister Ying, I might not even be able to go to university.â Yang Ming naturally couldnât say that it was because of his own special power. For Chen Mengyan, although Yang Ming wouldnât say that he didnât trust her, she wasnât on the same level as Xiao Qing with whom Yang Ming had no reservations.
âI thought you were taking the opportunity to chase after me!â Chen Mengyan smiled.
âIn fact, it was like thisâŠâ Yang Ming nodded in a serious way.
When they came to Yang Mingâs door, Chen Mengyan became timid. âYang Ming, Iâm a little nervous.â
âItâs fine. Havenât you chatted with them full of laughter? Also, my mother has a good impression of you. She wonât eat you!â Yang Ming comforted her.
âBut Iâm still afraidâŠâ Chen Mengyan retreated two steps back.
âItâs fine. Youâre chickening out!â Yang Ming smiled.
âButâŠâ Chen Mengyan hadnât finished talking when she heard a â click .â The security door of Yang Mingâs house opened.
âMengyan, you came. Why didnât you knock on the door?â Mother Yang smiled and greeted them.
âI⊠Greetings, auntieâŠâ Chen Mengyan couldnât hide anymore. She could only face it head-on. âThis is the cashmere sweater I bought for you and uncleâŠâ Chen Mengyan was like the big girl who went up the bridal sedan chair [1] for the first time. She didnât know what to do. She didnât have a similar experience, and she didnât know what to say, so she had to use her gifts as a s.h.i.+eld.
â Haha .â Mother Yang took the cashmere sweaters with a smile. âAlright, I accept it. Come inside the house.â
Chen Mengyan was shy as she walked into Yang Mingâs house while lowering her head. Yang Dahai also stood up from the sofa. âWelcome, Chen Mengyan. Please have a seat.â
âThank you, uncle.â Chen Mengyan nodded but didnât sit down.
âOld Yang, these are the cashmere sweaters that Chen Mengyan bought for the two of us.â Mother Yang put the gifts brought by Chen Mengyan on the coffee table.
âGreat! Coincidentally, I needed a cashmere sweater.â Yang Dahai accepted the items with laughter.
When Chen Mengyan saw that Yang Mingâs parents were very happy about her arrival, she finally felt relieved.
âBig Ming, wash and prepare the fruits for Mengyan!â Mother Yang saw Yang Ming standing on the side in a silly manner, and she quickly instructed him.
âOkay.â Yang Ming nodded.
âAuntie, thereâs no need to troubleâŠâ Chen Mengyan said quickly.
âThereâs no trouble for it. Let him go and letâs talk.â Mother Chen warmly pulled Chen Mengyanâs hand.
Yang Ming went to the kitchen to wash the fruit. Mother Yang chatted with Chen Mengyan. âMengyan, you and Big Ming already got along quite well since high school, right?â
â En âŠâ Chen Mengyan nodded shyly. âItâs still alright.â
âThen you both are considered to be childhood sweethearts.â Mother Yang said with a smile, âDo your parents know about you two?â
âThey knowâŠâ Chen Mengyan replied.
âWhat do they say? About the things between the both of you?â asked Mother Yang.
âThey think itâs good. Yang Ming and I will go to see my parents tomorrowâŠâ Chen Mengyan said.
â Oh ? You both are going tomorrow?â Mother Yang said with a smile, â Hehe , thatâs great! Maybe someday, Big Mingâs dad and I can meet up with your parents on another day and settle down both of your affairs.â
â Ah âŠâ Chen Mengyan was surprised. Isnât this too fast? Will it be settled just like that?
âMom, what are you saying? We both are only freshmenâŠâ Yang Ming noticed Chen Mengyanâs surprise and he quickly came to the rescue. Although he washed the fruit in the kitchen, his eyes kept looking at the movements in the room and 'sawâ what his mother said.
âWhatâs wrong if you guys are just freshmen? I just said that the parents of both sides should meet each other once, and there is no other intention.â Mother Yang said.
âAlright, letâs not talk about this first.â Yang Dahai also saw the embarra.s.sment on the two children, so he waved his hand. âGo, letâs go to the kitchen and prepare the food. Leave some s.p.a.ce for the two children.â
âThatâs right. Itâs already ten oâclock. I have to prepare our meals.â Mother Yang also stood up.
âAuntie, let me help you.â Chen Mengyan also quickly stood up since she felt that being a qualified daughter-in-law required her to be able to cook in the kitchen at least! Isnât it usually written that way in the novel?
âItâs fine. Youâre so beautiful. Donât get the fumes on you.â Mother Yang waved her hand and smiled. âYou and Big Ming should play around in the house.â
âLet me help you. I can a.s.sist!â Chen Mengyan insisted.
âAlright then. You come to help me wash the vegetables and thatâs all.â Mother Yang noticed Chen Mengyan insisted on coming to help, so she had to nod and agree with her. However, she was happy deep down in her heart. Although Mother Yang was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law now, she was beautiful and had good academic performance. However, she was even better since she could do housework!
When Yang Ming was a little bored, he went back to his room and prepared to simply tidy up the room. When he got up this morning, he was quite rushed and didnât have time to fold up his quilt.
Yang Ming folded the quilt and opened the window to refresh the air. Then, he saw Chen Mengyan walk in.
âWhat happened? Werenât you going to help out?â Yang Ming asked, confused.
âI wished to but the kitchen is too small. It can only fit two people. Itâs a little crowded with three people. Auntie let me come backâŠâ Chen Mengyan said helplessly.
Yang Ming nodded, his house was the old-fas.h.i.+oned pattern and the kitchen was relatively small, unlike the big houses which were constructed with oversized kitchens. Yang Ming had planned to buy a house for his parents after the end of New Year, but his parents didnât agree. It was because Yang Dahai was working nearby. If he moved far away, it would be inconvenient to go to work. There werenât any newly developed properties in the vicinity, so Yang Ming had to give up.
âCan I just simply take a look?â Chen Mengyan approached Yang Mingâs room and asked. It was because she saw on TV or movies that there were always some unpresentable things in a boyâs room, such as p.o.r.nography, CDs, etc.
âOf course.â Yang Ming smiled and said, âYou can just simply take a look.â Anyway, his room had no unsightly things.
âAlright.â Girls always liked to flip through their boyfriendsâ things, trying to find out something, and Chen Mengyan was not an exception.
â Eh ? Who is this?â Chen Mengyan suddenly pointed to a photo frame on the bookshelf.
â Oh ?â Yang Ming raised his head and glanced at the photo frame that Chen Mengyan pointed. âItâs Su YaâŠâ
âSu Ya⊠So, she is Su YaâŠâ Chen Mengyan murmured as she looked at the photo with a cute little girl like the suns.h.i.+ne. Chen Mengyan was very beautiful since she was a child, but when she saw the photos of Su Ya, she had to admit that the girl was as good as herself, even cuter than herselfâŠ
âShe is very beautiful.â Chen Mengyan sighed.
âArenât you asking me who was more beautiful between you and her? You should compare on your own.â Yang Ming smiled.
âHow can I compare? This photo is obviously a little girl. It canât be compared! Wait for me to go back and find some photos from my junior high school to show you.â Chen Mengyan said with a tone of not admitting defeat.
âAlright.â Yang Ming nodded.
âThen you⊠have to put my photos on the bookshelf⊠No, you have to put them by the bedside!â Chen Mengyan knew that it wouldnât be realistic to have Yang Ming remove the photos of Su Ya, so she could only fight for the equal treatment with Su Ya, even surpa.s.sing Su YaâŠ
âYes, no problem. If you are willing, I can set it as my cell phone wallpaper!â Yang Ming said as he found it amusing.
âThatâs a promise!â Chen Mengyan said seriously.
âYang Ming, can you tell me about Su Ya?â Chen Mengyan picked up Su Yaâs photo. She asked after hesitating a little while.
âWonât you be jealous if I talked about it?â Yang Ming glanced at Chen Mengyan and teased.
âIâm not as mean as you say⊠I just want to know more about youâŠâ Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes and glared at Yang Ming.
âSu Ya⊠In fact, in a strict sense, she and I werenât considered to be a couple. We had some good feelings for each other, but we didnât express it bluntlyâŠâ Yang Ming shared the stories of him and Su Ya. Chen Mengyan couldnât help but burst into tears when she heard itâŠ
Chen Mengyan herself couldnât believe that she would actually cry for her own love rival. However, the story was really touching⊠Yang Ming and Su Ya in the story were really sympathetic! That Wu Chiren, he was the Evil Tyrant Huang s.h.i.+ren [2]!
âThe Wu Chiren was too bad. Why did he take away the letter that Su Ya gave you?â Chen Mengyan said indignantly.
âAlright, since you know everything, you should tell me about your story.â Yang Ming asked.
âMe? I have nothing to say. Youâre my first boyfriend!â Chen Meng glanced at Yang Ming. âYou still asked while knowing the answer!â
â Hehe âŠâ Yang Ming smiled.
âYang Ming, is Su Ya still in your heart now?â Chen Mengyan suddenly asked.
