The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Jian Feng and Li Meiling have finally finished their work at the factory and started preparing New Year's goods.
Jian Yunxi took this opportunity to announce her love news.
Li Meiling didn't hear clearly at first and thought she was talking about someone else, but Jian Feng's voice got louder: "Who's in love?"
"I'm in love, Mom and Dad."
Li Meiling also stopped keeping accounts.
"Xixi, who is your boyfriend?"
"Mom and Dad, you've also met him. That's Lu Yang."
Li Meiling and Jian Feng looked at each other, as if asking why the name sounded so familiar.
"It's that classmate from National Tsing Hua University."
Jian Yunxi's heart was actually beating very fast, and she was a little unsure about her parents' attitude.
Although they are all very open-minded people.
Jian Feng frowned: "That child looks gentle and polite, but..."
But what, he couldn't say.
Li Meiling really liked Lu Yang before. He had good grades, was polite, and looked nice. But why did she suddenly become picky when she heard that her daughter was in love with him?
"Xixi, tell mom, are you in love because you really like him, or are you in love because everyone around you is in love?"
Jian Yunxi understood what her mother meant.
"Mom, I know what you're worried about." She said softly, with a hint of firmness in her voice, "I'm not in a relationship just because others are in a relationship. I really like him."
Li Meiling looked at Jian Yunxi, her eyes filled with both worry and relief.
She knew her daughter too well. From childhood to adulthood, Jian Yunxi was very stubborn in everything she did, and once she made up her mind, nothing could change her mind.
But as a mother, she always couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"Then can you tell me what you like about him? Besides his good grades and good looks that everyone knows." Li Meiling's voice was tentative.
Jian Yunxi smiled slightly, with a hint of sweetness in her eyes.
"He... is very special. He's not the kind of person who's superficially good, but he really knows how to respect people and is willing to listen. When I'm with him, I feel very safe, like... like I've found a place where I can be completely myself."
Li Meiling looked at her and suddenly felt that there was something in her daughter's eyes that she had never seen before - it was a kind of happiness and certainty that came from the heart.
"Moreover," Jian Yunxi continued, "when we are together, we never change anything because of other people's eyes or opinions. We just...get along naturally and like each other naturally."
Jian Feng poked Li Meiling from behind, as if wanting her to ask something else.
"Then can you tell me how far your relationship has progressed?"
Jian Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "Our relationship is developing steadily."
Li Meiling turned around and gave Jian Feng a wink. With years of tacit understanding between husband and wife, Jian Feng understood what his wife meant with just one glance.
He stood up and patted Jian Yunxi on the shoulder. "Xixi, Dad has nothing to say about love, because you are an adult. As long as you are happy, tell me if you are wronged. My daughter can't suffer any loss."
Jian Yunxi was touched. How could she have deserved to meet such good parents?
Only Jian Yunxi and her mother were left in the living room.
Li Meiling considered it over and over again before asking, "Xixi, did you and Lu Yang ever do anything that crossed the line?"
When Jian Yunxi heard this question, he was slightly stunned.
Li Meiling sat next to Jian Yunxi and held her hand: "Mom doesn't mean to interfere with you, but..." She paused, as if looking for the right words, "You are only a freshman, it's too early for many things."
"We... don't have any." She finally raised her head and looked directly into her mother's eyes. "Lu Yang really respects me."
Li Meiling's tense shoulders relaxed slightly. She reached out and tucked the hair behind Jian Yunxi's ears: "He is a sensible child."
"But we..." Jian Yunxi bit her lower lip, "We kissed." As soon as she said this, her whole face burned, as if the sunset dyed the sky red.
Li Meiling didn't make a fuss. She gently squeezed her daughter's hand and said, "This is a very normal thing in love. It's also a natural thing. Mom was young once too."
Jian Yunxi suddenly remembered that her parents also had a free love relationship when they were young.
"It is important that you know how to protect yourself, not only physically but also emotionally." Li Meiling paused and continued.
"I know." Jian Yunxi leaned on her mother's shoulder, sniffed, acted coquettishly, and showed off Lu Yang's goodness. "You know, sometimes he would even ask me if he can hold my hand first."
"Yes, Xixi, what I want to tell you is," Li Meiling said seriously, "True love requires self-control. If one day you decide to take it a step further..."
"Mom!" Jian Yunxi knew that her mother was open-minded. When she was in the third year of high school, because of what happened in school, she told her and her sister that girls must love themselves.
Li Meiling smiled and rubbed Jian Yunxi's hair: "Okay, okay, mom is just reminding you to take protective measures when the time comes. If you need to, I can also..."
“No, no!” Jian Yunxi raised his head suddenly, his ears red and almost transparent, “I studied biology, and there are also popular science lectures in schools now…”
Li Meiling is very pleased that her daughter has grown up.
At the same time, there is also worry that she will suffer a great loss in her relationship because of her stubborn character.
