Yu Yao is a detective who firmly believes in materialism, and she trusts supernatural things the least.
Yet, ever since she was little, she could hear strange things.
At the crime scene...
"Forget it, forget it, ignore her." Bai Fang sighed helplessly and pulled Yu Yao to the kitchen. "Look, if there's no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for a while, she won't eat it."
Yu Yao was dragged into the kitchen hesitantly, and she glanced out through the crack of the kitchen door with some uneasiness.
Mother Bai had her back to her, her shoulders slightly hunched, her whole body shaking, and it was obvious that she was extremely sad.
"If only Mrs. Bai wanted some simple dishes, I could definitely make them." Yu Yao turned around, muttered, and opened the refrigerator with a look of regret on her face to prepare dinner.
"She is deliberately making things difficult for you. This person would have no qualms about bullying a child." Bai Fang muttered silently and turned around to close the kitchen door. As soon as she reached the door, she saw through the crack in the door that her mother was sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened. Not to mention being sad, there wasn't a single tear on her face and she was even smiling happily.
She looked back at Yu Yao, who was still very sad, and felt very helpless.
Her mother is Yu Yao's natural nemesis. She didn't even realize that she was being treated as a toy for fun, and she was completely sad about not being able to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Bai Fang closed the kitchen door and turned to wash the vegetables.
Both of them can cook. Yu Yao's skills are a little simpler, and most of the cooking is done by Bai Fanglai. The two of them take turns cutting vegetables, washing vegetables and cooking, and they are very skilled.
"This feels like married life." Yu Yao muttered softly while washing vegetables. She really enjoyed the atmosphere of living with Bai Fang. It was like they were already living together and she could imagine their future life, which was wonderful.
"This should be the life of an ordinary married couple." Bai Fang continued calmly, glancing towards Yu Yao. "If possible, I'd like to take you directly to get the marriage certificate."
Yu Yao blushed, feeling a little shy. "It's a little difficult to get the marriage certificate, but I've already met Mother Bai. So, rounding it up, I'm at your house now, right?"
"You are all part of my family now, so you have to resist my mother's teasing. If she finds it funny, she will often tease you in the future." Bai Fang reminded Yu Yao and put the cooked dishes on the plate.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Yao smiled and narrowed her eyes. "This also proves that Mother Bai likes me, doesn't it? It's much better than the evil mother-in-law, so I'm still quite satisfied. It's a good thing to be able to get along harmoniously with Dr. Bai's family."
Bai Fang was silent, smiled helplessly, rubbed Yu Yao's head, and pinched her face. "Look at you, you're so stupid, I thought you were really being deceived. How could you forget your job? How can a private detective be so easily deceived?"
Yu Yao raised her face and rubbed Bai Fang's palm. "If Mother Bai liked cute things as much as Doctor Bai did, I wouldn't be so smart."
"Apart from those little fun things, my mom is a very nice person." Bai Fang lowered his head and kissed Yu Yao's soft and fragrant cheek. "Besides, you're already cute enough. If you weren't, how could you have attracted me?"
"Humph!" Yu Yao straightened her back confidently. "But I have no idea how I managed to seduce Dr. Bai. It was completely confusing."
Bai Fang didn't intend to tell Yu Yao about her drunken behavior. He turned around with the dishes and prepared to go to the living room.
When she turned around, she saw that the kitchen door had been quietly opened a crack. Her mother was lying on the ground, peeking in through the crack. She was not embarrassed at all when Bai Fang caught her red-handed. She said confidently, "I just came to see how your food is. I'm just hungry!"
"It's almost ready." Bai Fang handed her the plate. "Go wait in the living room. Don't act like a worried mother."
"I'm not looking at you." Mother Bai took the plate, turned around and went to the living room.
Yu Yao glanced back and asked, "Is Mother Bai worried that our cooking won't be tasty?"
"I'm just curious." Bai Fang turned around and continued cooking. "I've raised my daughter for most of my life, and suddenly she brings another girl home and says she's her lover. She's curious about how we're getting along and what's different from ordinary couples."
"Oh, I see. Mother Bai doesn't quite understand this!" Yu Yao nodded thoughtfully, "So she's been secretly observing us, right?"
"Is that so?" Bai Fang responded. If she didn't have a bunch of younger brothers who gave her a lot of reference materials, even though she knew she liked Yu Yao, she still only had a vague understanding of it. She had to read a lot of things before she gradually understood it.
For example, the emotions between women are relatively delicate, and their ways of getting along are slightly different.
But in the end, it's just two people in love, so just do it naturally.
After cooking, Yu Yao was sweating in the kitchen due to the heat. As soon as she finished, she rushed out of the kitchen, fanning herself by pulling her collar to cool down.
As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I was hit by a cool breeze. The whole living room was very cool. With the lights on, it was bright and refreshing. The dishes on the table were neatly placed together, and there were three pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
"Are you done?" Mother Bai, who was sitting there waiting for food and watching TV, turned around and saw Yu Yao, who was sweltering. She quickly patted the person next to her and said, "Come and sit down. I turned on the air conditioner."
"Okay." Yu Yao immediately moved over and sat on the soft sofa, enjoying the refreshing coolness and feeling happy.
After returning home from outside, she noticed some changes in the house.
When I came, the house was relatively quiet, but there were still some noises, which were the chattering of some old objects. After all, this area is an old city area, and it is normal to have some old objects in the house. But except for one trip home, I found that the house was much quieter and I could no longer hear the chattering of those old objects.
If you look closely, you'll find that a lot of things have been put away.
Perhaps after Bai's mother knew her ability, she deliberately put away some old things and didn't let her touch them.
Someone of Mrs. Bai's status must know a lot about the items in the house. If she sits there for a while, she will inevitably hear a lot of secrets that she shouldn't hear, so it's better to keep them to herself.
"This is the last dish." Bai Fang came out of the kitchen carrying a plate and sighed softly, "Three people have five dishes. Can we finish them?"
"If you can't finish it, you can wait for the next meal. It can also be used as a midnight snack." Mother Bai began to serve the rice. She used a cute little yellow duck bowl to fill a large bowl of rice for Yu Yao, and then handed it to Yu Yao.
"You look so skinny and small, with no muscles on your body. It's obvious you haven't exercised. You need to eat more."
Yu Yao took it in confusion, but it wasn’t like she couldn’t finish it.
"Look at my daughter. Look at her. She looks ordinary, but when her clothes are lifted up, she must have a body that exercises regularly, just like me." Mother Bai said as she served the food for three people.
Yu Yao quietly glanced at Bai Fang, then looked at Bai's mother.
Doctor Bai knew about it, after all, she had touched her and witnessed with her own eyes that men could not beat her strength, but Mother Bai looked a little different.
Although she still looks charming and dressed up beautifully, she is still somewhat Dr. Bai's mother. The lines of her limbs seem thinner and weaker, and she looks weaker than Dr. Bai.
But thinking back to when we first met, she was waving a baseball bat and looked so aggressive, she didn't seem so weak after all.
Mother Bai must have been very outstanding when she was young.
"What's wrong?" Mother Bai noticed that after Yu Yao picked up the bowl, she stared at her for a long time and had no intention of taking a bite.
"Nothing, nothing." Yu Yao quickly looked away and ate the white rice in the bowl.
"You're curious about me, right? Just like you're curious about her." Bai Fang put a piece of food into Yu Yao's bowl with his chopsticks. "My mom was a different me when she was young. I even changed jobs halfway through, but she's the real big sister, and she's always been like that."
"Oh! It seems so powerful." Yu Yao looked at Mother Bai in surprise.
"That was all when I was young. I'm just an aunt now." Mother Bai smiled and waved her hand.
"There are her old photos on the table over there." Bai Fang pointed to a table not far from the dining table with his chopsticks.
Yu Yao stretched her neck curiously and looked towards the table. There was indeed a small, inconspicuous photo frame on the table. The photo was a bit old, but the person in it was still very clear. It was a woman with short black curly hair, wearing a red cheongsam and sitting on a chair. She held a cigarette in her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed and she glanced at the camera with a hint of smile, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, looking very charming.
"Ah..." Yu Yao stared in a daze. She could tell that it was indeed Mother Bai, but her aura was slightly different. She used to be graceful and charming, but now she was dignified and elegant, with a hint of inviolable majesty. The hooligans on the street would never dare to provoke her when they saw her.
But when she is at home, she is a smiling and gentle woman.
"Mother Bai is so beautiful!!!" Yu Yao turned around quickly, her face as bright and excited as when she first met Bai Fang. "Mother Bai was so beautiful when she was young!"
Bai Fang was a little flustered when he saw her expression, and put on a serious face, "She was beautiful when she was young. Now she is just a delicate old woman. The look you envied is gone."
Mother Bai tapped Bai Fang with her chopsticks. "What are you talking about your mother? I'm still as charming and elegant as I was back then, and I'm still pretty now. Isn't your face inherited from me?"
Bai Fang pursed her lips and was too lazy to respond, but the point was the same: Yu Yao was greedy for her, and this gene was given to her by her omnipotent mother.
If Yu Yao is envious of her present self, then she must be envious of her mother when she was young.
"Of course Mama Bai looks good now! People with good genes look good no matter how old they are," Yu Yao said, moved. "Mama Bai, who gave birth to the beautiful Dr. Bai, must always be beautiful! I will come to see you often in the future!"
"Really? You'll come visit me more often? That's sweet!" Mother Bai said cheerfully, "The daughters born to my former sisters are all pretty too. I'll introduce them to you someday."
Bai Fang: ???
"mom!!!"
