"Just tell me, are you going tomorrow or not?!"
"Mom, please let me go."
On the second day after returning home for the Spring Festival, Xiao Yao was caught off guard when her mother asked her to go on a blind date.
"Why aren't you going? Do you have a boyfriend?" Liu Yan pressed.
Xiao Yao subconsciously pictured Zhong Xuyang's face, but the next second she immediately shook her head, "No."
She had never mentioned her relationship with Zhong Xuyang to her family, and it was even less likely that she would now.
Liu Yan was delighted to hear this, "That's good. You'll come with me to dinner tomorrow and meet him."
Xiao Yao resolutely refused, "I'm not going."
"Why don't you go if you don't have a boyfriend? You're 26 this year, you can date for a year or two and then get married and have children."
"I plan to have another child when I'm 36, so I still have ten years left."
Liu Yan slapped Xiao Yao on the back in anger, "You brat, are you trying to make me angry to death?!"
Xiao Yao rubbed her shoulder and pouted in protest, "Go ahead and hit me, I'd rather die than go!"
Xiao Yao had just returned from outside when he opened the door. The first thing he saw was Xiao Yao being beaten. Fearing that he would be caught in the crossfire, he immediately turned around and tried to close the door and leave.
However, Liu Yan shouted, "Xiao Yao, you stop right there!"
She strode over and grabbed Xiao Yao's ear. "You just got home and you're already thinking of going somewhere else! You're never home, what do you think this place is? A hotel?!"
Xiao Yao was pulled to the side, covering his ears and shouting, "Mom, Mom, Mom, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
Xiao Yao was initially quite aggrieved, but seeing her brother's silly expression, she immediately felt relieved and smiled broadly.
She promptly added insult to injury, saying, "Mom, my brother isn't married yet. You should take him on a blind date first."
Unable to break free from his mother, Xiao Yao angrily pointed at Xiao Yao and yelled, "Big Potato, shut up! Mom originally wanted you to go on a blind date, don't spread rumors and distract us!"
"You're the little bean sprout! You're my brother, if I want to go on blind dates, you should go on even more blind dates!"
"Bullshit! I only came out a few minutes earlier than you, when have you ever treated me like your brother?!"
Although they are said to be siblings, Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao are actually twins, with Xiao Yao born only a few minutes earlier than Xiao Yao. When they were little, Xiao Yao was always larger than Xiao Yao, both in height and weight. Strangers would mistake Xiao Yao for the older sister and Xiao Yao for the younger brother, which led to Xiao Yao often bullying Xiao Yao. It wasn't until their first year of high school that Xiao Yao experienced a rapid growth spurt, growing taller and heavier as a teenager, gradually starting to resemble the older brother.
But after so many years of habit, even though Xiao Yao was a head taller than her, Xiao Yao wasn't afraid of him at all and even liked to tease him.
Xiao Yao stuck her tongue out at Xiao Yao and kept calling him "Brother..." in a cheeky tone.
Liu Yan released Xiao Yao and shoved Xiao Yao's head. "Shut up! If you want to lay eggs, go get married! Stop giggling!"
Xiao Yao couldn't stop laughing.
Xiao Yao was pushed onto the sofa and cried out, "Mom..."
Liu Yan ignored her nonsense and said decisively, "I've already made an appointment to meet them tomorrow, you have to go whether you like it or not!" After saying that, she stormed off to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Seeing his mother leave, Xiao Yao patted his bottom and sat down on the single sofa, starting to gloat, "Our mother really had foresight, knowing that if you didn't go on blind dates soon, you wouldn't be able to get married."
Xiao Yao was so angry that she threw a cushion at him, "I can't get married? My ex-boyfriends could form a whole company, I just don't want to get married!"
"So you were dumped by every ex-boyfriend, that's why you cried so much before?" Xiao Yao teased.
Previously, when she and Zhong Xuyang broke up because of Lin Wenwen, she hid in her room crying late at night. Xiao Yao, who had just returned home, heard her and knocked on her door to ask what was wrong. That day, she had drunk a little alcohol, and she hugged Xiao Yao and started crying, saying that she had broken up with her boyfriend.
Xiao Yao said shyly, "No, that's not it."
She and Xiao Yao were used to being carefree and bickering, so they rarely talked about romantic topics.
Xiao Yao suddenly said seriously, "Since you've broken up, it won't hurt to meet more men. I've met a guy recently who I think is pretty good, and I'd like to introduce you to him."
Xiao Yao didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so concerned about her life's important matters. "Don't worry about me. You should use that time to find yourself a girlfriend."
Unexpectedly, he casually remarked, "You have a future sister-in-law."
Xiao Yao's eyes widened. "Really? What do you mean by 'almost'? You still haven't won her over?"
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and said smugly, "It's because I haven't agreed yet."
Xiao Yao was stunned. "You didn't agree? Are you a scumbag, a player, stringing her along?"
"What do you mean by keeping someone hanging? I just haven't made up my mind yet."
Xiao Yao gave him a disdainful look, "Just keep pretending. Let's see how you cry when she doesn't want you anymore."
Thinking of the way Song Qing always looked at him, Xiao Yao said confidently, "She wouldn't."
However, Xiao Yao never expected that one day his words would come true and Song Qing would really leave him.
——
The next day, while Xiao Yao was still in bed, Liu Yan came into the room to remind her that she was going out for lunch.
Xiao Yao pulled the blanket over her head and pretended not to hear.
Liu Yan sat down on the edge of her bed, pulled back the covers, and began to chatter on and on.
"Look at you, you're not young anymore, why won't you even meet me?"
"Mom doesn't want you to get married right away. You two should get to know each other first. If you really feel it's not right, Mom won't force you, okay?"
“That boy is outstanding and handsome. I can’t have made a mistake in choosing him for you.”
"Just listen to me. We'll go out for lunch together, and his mother will come too. You can see what kind of mother-in-law she is."
