The girls in the dormitory started their conversations with "meeting the parents".
Although both the parties involved and their partners are just college students, in their early twenties.
However, both Ji Qingqian and Ma Jiaojiao's boyfriends have already met their parents.
The progress has been both rapid and steady.
“I already told my senior about it before.”
Ma Jiaojiao sat cross-legged on a chair in the dormitory, holding a cup of cocoa powder that Ji Qingqian had brought. After gently stirring it, she handed the cup to Chu Chu, who was too lazy to get out of bed but wanted a hot drink. "'Dating me has at least one advantage, which is that I don't have to worry about my future father-in-law.'"
She chuckled and asked little Chu Chu, whose lips had just touched the rim of the cup, "Is it sweet?"
Chu Chu:…
Is it still sweet?
I'll make your mother's sweetness suffer!
...Oh, you're asking about hot cocoa.
"It's alright," Chu Chu said.
"However, it was purely a coincidence that my senior met my parents."
Ma Jiaojiao shrunk in her chair and said slowly, "It's too brave of Senior Lu to go directly to Qingqian's house like that. Qingqian, you too. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to let anyone come to my door... I'd just stop them in one step."
Ji Qing, expressionless and poised, flashed a victory sign:
"stable."
"There's more."
Ma Jiaojiao continued, "Qingqian, didn't you go to Senior Lu's house? You went there many times afterward, and even stayed there for a while during the winter break."
"Um."
"You've met Senior Lu's parents, and they all like you quite a bit."
Ma Jiaojiao said, "I haven't met my senior's family yet... I always feel like I'll be laughed at for being a country bumpkin, and then I'll get a lecture. You know, mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships... If my senior is like his mother, it'll be even more difficult..."
That sharp tongue alone would be enough to overwhelm Little Ma.
Moreover, she inexplicably felt guilty, as if she had taken something from someone else's nurturing child...
As she spoke, she let out a soft sigh:
"--well."
In fact, Ji Qingqian had only ever met her boyfriend's sweet and charming auntie.
Her grandparents liked her very much, but she had never met Abei's parents.
Although both Abei and his grandmother have repeatedly emphasized that we don't need to worry about Abei's parents.
Moreover, based on what Ji Qingqian knew, Ms. Lu Chaoxi seemed unusually difficult to get along with, and given her personality, it would be hard for her and Ms. Lu to have a proper conversation.
—Just as Xiao Ma said, the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship…
But Ji Qingqian still occasionally wanted to meet Ms. Lu.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't like me.
According to Abei, he is himself, and Ms. Lu is Ms. Lu.
His mother will not interfere with any of his choices...
But then again...
If possible, Ji Qingqian hoped to maintain a harmonious relationship with Ms. Lu. Even if it couldn't reach the level of a friendly relationship between Abei and her parents, at least she didn't want them to act like enemies...
That's the reason.
Even though Ji Qingqian wanted to see Ms. Lu, she never dared to bring it up with Abei.
Because "it doesn't matter if I don't like myself," is just a way to comfort herself afterward—if Ms. Lu really dislikes her, Ji Qingqian feels that she will still feel bad.
Therefore, they wanted to postpone the meeting indefinitely.
After spending a long time with Abei, Ji Qingqian felt that her courage had been worn away.
Perhaps it's because I've lived a comfortable life for too long that I'm afraid to taste bitterness again.
Chu Chu savored a sip of the still-hot cocoa.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
She sharply criticized: "They're only a few years old, yet they're already thinking about mundane family matters. That's not youthful at all... This isn't how you guys have campus romances..."
Ji Qingqian and Ma Jiaojiao both looked at Chu Chu.
One of them gave the impression, "How dare you interrupt?"
The other person's look was, "So you're saying you're very experienced?"
Chu Chu had an expression that said, "Even a dead chick isn't afraid of boiling water."
"I just don't have a man right now... it's not like I've never had one before. Besides, I still have Jue'er. Look at Jue'er, she's not like you guys at all. She's even starting to think about the 'mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship'... Our book is a youth romance comedy, not a serious family drama. Let's get the tone straight first! -- Right, Jue'er?"
However, Wang Jue did not agree with Chu Chu's words.
She seemed a little shy to speak, which showed how open and comfortable the two sisters were in their conversation. After hesitating a couple of times, she finally said:
"Actually, the class monitor..."
Ma Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? What's wrong with Chen Wei?"
“…Chen Wei, uh, he came to school with me when school started,” Wang Jue said softly.
Ma Jiaojiao looked at Ji Qingqian.
So what?
They already knew.
Wang Jue's voice trailed off: "...He...um...he came to my house to pick me up..."
Ma Jiaojiao: ...
“Then my dad was home at the time, and he gave him a really hard look…” Wang Jue added.
Her situation was nowhere near as smooth as Ma Jiaojiao's and Ji Qingqian's...
Senior Zhao Xun won over Lao Ma with his good looks. Now, Lao Ma not only doesn't feel the disappointment of his own cabbage being eaten by a pig, but also feels the pride that his own pig can finally eat the cabbage.
Senior Lu used his social skills to win over Lao Ji with some twists and turns. Now Lao Ji feels it's a pity that you're not my son, but as a son-in-law, he's just barely getting by.
But Wang Jue—
“My dad has been urging me to break up with my boyfriend these past few days, saying that even if I find a partner, I should find someone from Hangzhou…” she said.
She appears particularly pragmatic.
Ji Qingqian and Ma Jiaojiao had never heard Wang Jue mention this matter.
