On the internet, people often commemorate their childhoods. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town who was one of them, found himself back 24 years ago, in the small town of his birth, after his ...
Just then, Shang Yunmiao greeted him through the fence.
"Mom and Dad, look, this is the snowman that Chen Bing and I built together."
Coming to his senses, Shang Zhengxin didn't even glance at the snowman before praising it repeatedly.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly became very excited and reached out his hand through the iron fence.
Seeing this, Xiao Shang walked over with curiosity and doubt and took his father's hand.
"My daughter~"
"Huh? Oh! I'm here."
"Enjoy life at your in-laws' house!"
"OK?"
While Xiao Shang was still in a daze, Shang Zhengxin then sadly and drunkenly advised her, "Remember...remember what Bing said, hiccup. If you miss home, just give me a call and your dad and I will come pick you up. Our home isn't far from home. Go out, go out and...I should go east, it's only ten or twenty meters away, hiccup."
Faced with her father, who was struggling to speak clearly, Shang Yunmiao didn't know what to say. She blankly agreed, and then saw her mother smile and tap her father's head before turning to her and saying, "Your father is drunk and talking nonsense."
As if to confirm her words, Shang Zhengxin suddenly released his grip on his daughter's hand and called out to Chen Bing, who was standing to the side, "My dear son-in-law!"
"Hey~ Dad, Dad, I'm here." Compared to Shang Yunmiao's bewildered state, Chen Bing's reaction was much more natural and swift.
During the summer after his middle school entrance exam, Shang Zhengxin had called him that when he got drunk at dinner. Although it was a little embarrassing at the time, time has passed and Chen Bing can now accept the title without hesitation. He can even shamelessly call Shang Zhengxin "Dad".
After accepting the title just as readily, Shang Zhengxin began to tell him things like "treat my daughter well," "be considerate of her," and "tell Dad if anything happens." Chen Bing responded to each of these instructions very naturally, as if Shang Yunmiao had really already married into his family and become his daughter-in-law.
After glancing at the two men's antics, Yunxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at her daughter, whose face was already flushed.
Seeing that her clothes were covered in snow, her face was slightly flushed, and her hair was messy, Yunxuan knew that her daughter and Chen Bing were having a great time playing in the snow outside. So she kindly asked, "Sweetie, are you coming home tonight?"
Huh? What do you mean by "go home"? Does it mean I don't have to go back? If I don't go back, where will I stay?
After listening to her mother's questions, Shang Yunmiao pondered this series of seemingly normal yet abnormal questions, and vaguely considered how to answer them. Finally, she said naively, "I'll listen to whatever Mom says..."
In fact, Shang Yunmiao really didn't know how to answer, but Yunxuan naturally assumed that her daughter wanted to stay at Chen Bing's house to sleep, but was too shy to say it.
So she replied with a smile, "Then you can stay at your mother's house and sleep here. It's fine here too."
After saying that, Yunxuan asked, as if giving a warning, but also as if teasing, "You're not sleeping with Bingbing, are you?"
"No! No, Mom! I have my own room here!" After a little embarrassment, Shang Yunmiao looked at Chen Bing nervously, afraid that the other party would use this as an excuse to sleep with her.
"Oh, I see. Okay, then you can continue playing with Bingbing. Mommy and Daddy are going home now."
After saying that, Yunxuan waved her hand and left with Shang Zhengxin.
Just as one problem was about to subside, another arose. Before Shang Yunmiao could recover, another mother of hers, seeing that their daughter hadn't left after the neighbor's family left, also came over out of curiosity.
She held her husband's arm and asked her daughter with a smile.
"Is Yunmiao coming to sleep at Mom's house tonight?"
Xiao Shang was just about to bring this up, but since Yueyue's mother asked her directly, she decided to answer.
"Um, can I stay at my mom's tonight?"
"Yes, yes, of course you can." Liu Yue said happily as she handed Chen Shichao, who was leaning against her, to her son.
"Mom will be happy if you stay at Mom's house from now on."
Shang Yunmiao smiled sweetly but did not respond to Liu Yue's joke.
After all, they're not even married yet. How can someone so young and living in someone else's house without any clear status be considered proper?
"Oh, right, right." Liu Yue's mother took two small steps forward with a youthful air, then put her hand on Shang Yunmiao's shoulder and asked, "Which room do you want to stay in? No one has slept in your room for almost a month. If you want to stay in that room, I'll go and clean it for you in advance and change the blankets and stuff."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shang didn't react much at first. She simply took Liu Yue's arm in a coquettish manner and said that she wanted to stay in that room and thanked her for cleaning.
It wasn't until Liu Yue, with a strange smile on her face, helped Uncle Chen into the house that Shang Yunmiao belatedly realized something was amiss.
What?! What do you mean by "which room to stay in"?! I've always stayed in the room next to Chen Bing's since I came to Yueyue's mom's house! Why didn't you ask where I was staying before? Why did you ask this time?!
Considering the mischievous smile on Liu Yue's face as she left, Shang Yunmiao naturally understood why.
Her face immediately flushed with her own guess.
Why does everyone think I'll sleep in Chen Bing's room?! Both mothers are like this! We're completely innocent; we've only slept together once!
Being constantly misunderstood and losing her innocence is a minor matter compared to the fact that Shang Yunmiao will soon be tainted in a literal sense. And the culprit is none other than Chen Bing, who has been coveting her for a long time.
Chen Bing, who had already played for a long time before the parents arrived, recalled the new play she was looking forward to after this little incident.
Although he hadn't heard Yunxuan's conversation with Shang Yunmiao because he was busy dealing with Shang Zhengxin, he clearly heard Woyue's hints and assistance to Xiao Shang.
Thinking that Xiao Shang was going to stay at my house tonight, Chen Shichao was dead drunk, and Aunt Xuan had gone back to her own home to take care of Uncle Shang and couldn't look after Xiao Shang. The only one who was sober was Sister Yue, who was my support.
With favorable timing, location, and people, the advantage is in my hands!
Chen Bing felt it was time to experience real play!
Guided by this idea, the big hooligan suddenly hugged Xiao Shang from behind.
After letting out a surprised "uh," Shang Yunmiao was like a girl who had been brutally murdered, dragged into a dark corner by the thugs, and then remained silent for ten minutes.
How should I put it?
There's a reason why this novel form of play wasn't developed by our predecessors.
After forcing the small business owner to say "Ha-ha-ha" more than ten times, Chen Bing came to this conclusion.
