Chapter 31: Love from Mother (Part 1)

# Chapter 31: Love from Mother (Part 1)

On the third day after the two confirmed their relationship, Liang Yu received a notice that Ms. Yao Dan would visit City B. It was a Sunday, and after Liang Yu got the flight number, he took Qiao Shuyan to pick up Yao Dan.

The car has been repaired. The 4S shop is very skilled in their work and the repaired car is no different from a new one, which made Qiao Shuyan feel a little relieved.

Back then, the last time Qiao Shuyan saw Liang Yu's mother was when Sun Xumin was hospitalized. However, at that time, he was in the shadow of his mother's cancer and was a little dazed, so he didn't have much impression of Yao Dan. He only remembered that he probably didn't do anything offensive.

However, the feelings he had when he saw her again this time were completely different from the last time. He felt like a "daughter-in-law" meeting a "mother-in-law" - this conclusion came from the deep-rooted impression that Liang Yu had instilled in him that "Liang Yu is 1". At this time, as someone who knows the gay community very well, Qiao Shuyan certainly knows that he has to be zero. However, he is not ready to be attacked.

In any case, before going out, Qiao Shuyan rummaged through her closet for a long time and felt that none of the clothes were suitable to wear to meet her "mother-in-law".

Liang Yu folded his arms and watched him throw away clothes one after another, and comforted him helplessly: "Dear, you are so beautiful, you look good in anything."

"No, no, no, don't coax me... I, I have to leave a good impression on my aunt." Qiao Shuyan shook his head seriously and did self-PUA.

"It's still early now, why don't we go to the mall and buy one?" Liang Yu suggested.

Qiao Shuyan looked at his closet full of sweatshirts, T-shirts, jeans and sweatpants, and thought Liang Yu's suggestion was feasible.

Fortunately, their home was near the shopping mall, so the two of them went through the basement and entered the mall.

Since entering college, Qiao Shuyan has bought almost all of his clothes by himself, and most of them are in the above range. He only bought a suit for a job interview. But he really couldn't stand the constraints of shirts, ties and suits. He always felt that those clothes were restrictive after he put them on, making him feel like he couldn't even walk. Therefore, he actually admired Liang Yu for being able to wear a suit to work every day. The key is that this guy looks really handsome in a suit!

As a senior gay, Liang Yu's aesthetic taste is of course online. Before coming to the mall, he went through the brands that would be suitable for Qiao Shuyan in his mind, so after arriving, he took people straight to the brand counter.

Qiao Shuyan has the temperament of a sunny and cheerful young man. His clear eyes and overly fair face make him look like a naive teenager. Even though he is already 26 years old, this temperament is not at all inconsistent with him.

Knowing that he doesn't like to wear clothes that make him feel constrained, Liang Yu selected several brands of clothing for him that are relatively casual and comfortable, but a little more formal than simple sweatshirts and jeans. For example, cardigans, shirts, and casual pants, Liang Yu selected several pieces for him and let Qiao Shuyan try them one by one.

Although Qiao Shuyan is not as tall as Liang Yu, he is at least 1.80 meters tall, with thin arms and legs and a slender figure. When he puts on this kind of casual and literary clothes, it actually slightly neutralizes his strong youthfulness and reveals a bit of maturity.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Although Qiao Shuyan had never worn this type of clothes before, she was very satisfied with the way she looked in the mirror, so she asked the salesgirl how much it cost with a smile.

Liang Yu said: "Don't worry about it, just wear it until it fits you."

It fits him well, of course. Although he doesn't have a model figure like Liang Yu, he still has a rare good figure for clothes.

In the end, Qiao Shuyan was wearing a pure white short T-shirt, a light brown cardigan on the outside, and a pair of light apricot narrow straight casual pants. She looked clean and upright, with a bit of literary style. Liang Yu felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but pull her over and kiss her again.

The saleslady standing next to him was stunned for a moment when a mouthful of dog food was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. But she quickly reacted and said with a smile, "You two have such a good relationship!"

Liang Yuchong nodded politely, settled the bill, then carried the bags and took Qiao Shuyan to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, the time was just right. Liang Yu had just parked the car when he received a call from Yao Dan, whose plane had just landed.

Liang Yu held Qiao Shuyan's hand and walked to the arrival hall. Qiao Shuyan was holding a bouquet of carnations, and her palms were sweaty with nervousness.

"Why are you nervous?" Liang Yu smiled gently, "My mother likes you very much, really."

Qiao Shuyan thought to herself, when we were good friends, your mother liked me, but now I am your "daughter-in-law", can the standards be the same? What mother-in-law doesn't find fault with her daughter-in-law?

Anyway, when Yao Dan came out with the small box, she saw these two children who stood out from the crowd. Needless to say, her own sons always made her feel very happy when she saw them. This time, Qiao Shuyan was wearing brown clothes, and he looked more mature and gentle than the last time she saw him. The two men standing together were particularly pleasing to the eye.

When Yao Dan thought that one of them was her son and the other was her son's boyfriend, they were both her sons, and she walked with a breeze.

When Liang Yu saw his mother, he waved, and Yao Dan also waved back.

Qiao Shuyan followed Liang Yu's gaze and saw a woman wearing exaggerated black sunglasses. The woman had long wavy hair and wore a honey-colored windbreaker with a black skirt underneath. She was wearing a pair of apricot square-buckle high heels. She looked bright and delicate. From a distance, she looked about 30 years old. It was hard to imagine that she was the mother of a 28-year-old man.

She walked in front of the two men and took off her sunglasses, her action was extremely charming.

Qiao Shuyan saw her well-maintained face under the sunglasses. It was very delicate, about 50% similar to Liang Yu, but overall, softer than Liang Yu.

There was a glass fence between the three of them. Qiao Shuyan nervously raised the flowers and handed them to her, stuttering again: "Well, ah, hello, auntie... welcome, welcome to City B!"

Yao Dan took the flowers with a smile, "Xiao Qiao spent money, thank you."

It was past lunchtime when the plane landed, but none of the three had eaten yet, so Liang Yu drove to a well-rated Hunan restaurant near the airport to fill his stomach first.

After sitting down at the restaurant, Liang Yu ordered food while Yao Dan carefully looked Qiao Shuyan up and down. Her gaze was direct, but not offensive. Qiao Shuyan blushed slightly, but the other party was an elder, so he couldn't miss it.

"Tsk tsk, I came here in a hurry last time and only paid attention to Amin. I didn't take a close look at you. You are really beautiful. You look just like your mother when she was young." Yao Dan praised with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, Auntie." Qiao Shuyan was so nervous that his scalp felt numb.

Yao Dan asked, "Why are you so nervous? Can Auntie still eat you?"

Qiao Shuyan shook his head hurriedly.

Seeing that he was still a little nervous, Yao Dan wanted to make him relax, so she said, "When you were little, you weren't afraid of me. You let me hold you the first time you saw me. Later, when you grew up, you followed behind A Yu and called him brother. If I hadn't held you back, you would have followed us home."

As she spoke, she sighed again, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the baby has grown so big."

This matter was also mentioned by Qiao Shuyan when they had dinner together with Sun Xumin last time. Qiao Shuyan felt embarrassed at that time, but now he feels that perhaps this fate was destined.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yao Dan knew that he hadn't let go yet, but she didn't rush. She just glanced at Liang Yu slowly, then looked at Qiao Shuyan and asked, "How is it? Did Ah Yu bully you?"

"No, no, Liang Yu is very nice to me!" Qiao Shuyan quickly waved his hands to deny it, looked at Yao Dan, and said seriously.

"Pfft." Seeing his serious look, Yao Dan suddenly laughed and said, "No wonder A Yu likes you. Why are you so cute?"

Qiao Shuyan's face turned slightly red and he stopped talking.

Liang Yu had just finished ordering the dishes when she spoke up, "Mom, Shuyan is shy, please stop teasing him."

Yao Dan glanced at him and said, "If I don't tease him, then how can I tease you?"

"..." Liang Yu was choked for a moment, and decided not to argue with Ms. Yao, and asked instead, "What's the matter today?"

Yao Dan: "Come to see my son."

Liang Yu looked up and down at Yao Dan's rare full makeup, black dress, and high heels, and asked, "When have I ever been worthy of your going to such great lengths to dress me up?"

Yao Dan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Shuyan who was in mute mode beside her. Then, she raised her hand and touched his head, saying, "Look at your new son, shouldn't he dress up?"

Liang Yu: “…”

Qiao Shuyan: “…”

Yao Dan: "Are you going to tell me about this matter between you two if I don't ask?"

Liang Yu said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you." He and Qiao Shuyan walked hand in hand, and they didn't deliberately hide anything.

"Heh," Yao Dan sneered, "I'm not the first one to know that you two are together. Liang Yu, do you still remember that you have a mother?"

Calling her by her full name showed that she was angry. Liang Yu's heart shuddered. In this world, the only person he couldn't get along with was Ms. Yao.

"Don't you know this?" Liang Yu said, and then tried to change the subject, "Why don't you come to City B to see us?"

Yao Dan snorted coldly: "Don't flatter yourself. I came to see Amin and do something by the way."

"Oh," Liang Yu nodded, "Where is the hotel?"

"I'll stay in your apartment, why book a hotel? I've never booked a hotel before when I came here!" Yao Dan said as if it was a matter of course.

"..." Liang Yu glanced at Qiao Shuyan and said nothing.

At this time, Qiao Shuyan was still like a little quail, sitting aside without saying a word, his mind empty, and he had no idea what the mother and son meant behind their words.

After dinner, Liang Yu drove to Qiao Shuyan's house again.

It has been more than a month since Sun Xumin had surgery and she has recovered well. Except for the fact that she still needs to pay special attention to eating, she has basically adapted to life without a stomach. However, after all, she has undergone a major surgery, so she still needs to rest more and work less in her daily life.

During holidays, Qiao Shuyan would often go home to see her, and Liang Yu also came a few times, but Yao Dan had not seen her since she was discharged from the hospital. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, she felt distressed, but was afraid that she would be sad, so she joked: "Being sick is indeed a quick way to lose weight!"

Sun Xumin heard this and said with a smug smile: "Of course not, I am definitely thinner than you now!"

"A villain is getting ahead!" Yao Dan said, "I'm going to go to the gym when I get home!"

The two best friends were chatting when Qiao Shuyan and Liang Yu brought them some water.

"Come on, Xiaoliang, sit down quickly. Let Xiaoqiao do it. You sit down and chat with us!" Sun Xumin called.

After Liang Yu handed her the water, he sat down as he was told.

Qiao Shuyan handed the water to Yao Dan and said to his mother, "Dear mother!"

"Mom, I heard that you two are together?" Sun Xumin raised her eyebrows.

Qiao Shuyan: “…”

Liang Yu nodded gently and said with a smile, "Yes."

Sun Xumin clapped her hands together and said with a smile: "What a great thing! My family, which had no one to support it, unexpectedly found a child as good as Xiao Liang!"

Qiao Shuyan: “…”

Yao Dan said: "Don't praise him. He was dumped by so many people that no one wants him anymore!"

Liang Yu: “…”

After the two best friends had been bragging about each other's son for about ten minutes, Yao Dan suddenly asked, "Since you are together, when are you going to get married?"

Liang Yu & Qiao Shuyan: “???!!!”

Sun Xumin: "Then we will be relatives right away. I'm suddenly very excited when I think about this!"

Qiao Shuyan: "..." No, so fast? He and Liang Yu just confirmed their relationship on the third day today!

Liang Yu curled his lips. Although, same-sex marriage has not been passed in China yet...

However, the two best friends have already started talking about how to take wedding photos and where to hold the wedding banquet. Then they talked about which photographer and photo editing skills are good, which hotel has the best banquet dishes, and then they started talking about whether to adopt another child after marriage, whether to adopt a boy or a girl, where to go to kindergarten, where to go to elementary school, whether to study abroad, and what kind of job to do after graduation...

As Qiao Shuyan listened, his eyes widened. Later, he simply had an expression of detachment, as if he had lived out a long life in just ten minutes. Now he was already in his seventies, retired and enjoying his grandchildren.

Liang Yu took out his mobile phone, turned on the "Do Not Disturb" mode, and started to deal with the emails he had not replied to yesterday. He also bought some things he would need for his future trip online.

As the sun sets, the two besties are talking about the good things they have used recently. It is estimated that Sun Xumin will have to receive more than ten express deliveries in the next week, and the same goes for Yao Dan.

At around five o'clock, Qiao Shuyan's aunt, Sun Xuyou, had basically prepared dinner for Sun Xumin. Sun Xumin's diet was still relatively light, mostly liquid food, and she ate small meals frequently. Since they couldn't eat together at the moment, Yao Dan prepared to leave. Before leaving, she glanced at Liang Yu, then looked at Sun Xumin and said, "Amin, since you entrusted Xiao Qiao to my son, you should treat him as your son. If he dares to bully Xiao Qiao, my distant water can't help. I can beat you or scold you as I want. If he dares to say anything, his father and I will not let him go. Don't worry!"

Liang Yu said to Sun Xumin earnestly: "Mom, don't worry, I will never let Shuyan suffer any injustice."

"I absolutely believe in Xiao Liang's character, but my daughter Xiao Qiao is willful, so I really ask you to be more tolerant of her." Sun Xumin said, and inexplicably felt that she had married off her daughter twice.

To continue talking like this would be too sentimental. They had just started dating, so why did it feel like they were talking about marriage? Qiao Shuyan stopped talking immediately: "Okay, Mom, go have your meal quickly. We're leaving first and will come to see you again in a few days!" After saying that, he pulled Liang Yu and walked out.

Liang Yu only had time to wave to Sun Xumin before he was pulled out the door.
