"You're going on a trip? But isn't Dad quite busy?" Pei Ke was a little puzzled when he heard that the two of them wanted to go out. His father's company had been expanding its business in recent days, and he was very busy every day. They hadn't gone out together for a long time.
“Your mom recently told me that our family hasn’t gone on a trip together in a long time. If we don’t take this opportunity to go on a trip, you won’t be able to stay with us when you grow up. We need to make the most of our time together as a family. So I took care of everything at once and gave myself a week off,” Pei Zhongyuan explained.
So that's how it is.
"So, Xiao Ke, you choose. Your dad and I almost got into an argument about this."
His parents have been married for over ten years, but their relationship has not faded over time, unlike the parents of his peers who often argue or get divorced.
One downside is that the two of them like to argue over small things. I've heard it's always been like this. At first, they argued, but in the end, he always listened to his mother. But ever since he got older, I've preferred to let him make the decisions.
This time too.
"Then let's go to Japan." Pei Ke thought for a moment. He had recently stumbled upon a webpage that introduced the deer of Nara. He quite liked the way the deer stretched out their heads, begging for cookies.
"See? My son is still on my side after all." After hearing the answer, Pei's mother gave Pei's father a victorious smile.
Seeing that two of the three people had chosen Japan, Pei's father didn't have many objections and prepared to send a text message to his assistant to book the tickets.
Pei Ke suddenly thought of something, as if wanting to confirm something, "When are we going?"
"I estimate around July 10th," Pei's father replied while typing.
Thankfully, we didn't run into any scheduling conflicts.
Pei Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her son's expression, Pei's mother felt that he might be hiding something from her. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the timing?"
"No, I made plans to go hiking with my classmates, and I was worried about scheduling conflicts." Pei Ke hadn't intended to hide the matter anyway, so she just told them the whole story.
Little did Pei's mother know that she had caught some incredible joy, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "With classmates? Are there any girls? Xiao Ke, are you dating someone at school?"
Pei Ke was somewhat speechless at his mother's rich imagination.
Lost in her own thoughts, Ms. Lin held her teacup in both hands, raising it to her heart as if reminiscing, "Back then, your father and I met at school. That afternoon on the basketball court, I met the man of my life..."
Mr. Pei immediately interrupted Mrs. Pei, "What are you thinking? We met in college, and Xiao Ke is only in junior high school. You should focus on your studies." He then turned to look at Pei Ke, "Xiao Ke, you are still young. Don't follow other people's example and start dating too early."
Seeing how things had developed, Pei Ke had no choice but to patiently explain their relationship to them, saying they had been classmates since elementary school. This dispelled their doubts; otherwise, knowing his parents' imaginations, he didn't know what else they might have come to think of.
Back in my room, the world finally quieted down.
Early romance?
Pei Ke scoffed. Was he, Young Master Pei, the kind of person who would do such a thing?
Looking at the red glow spreading across the sky, for some reason, a rosy cheek popped into my mind.
