"What's wrong?" Li Tangyan noticed that something was wrong with her and looked up to ask.
Upon hearing this, Xing Mingming simply shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that my son is coming back today. With this heavy rain, I don't know if he'll get stuck on the road."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze away and sat down next to Li Tangyan.
Her phoenix eyes were long and narrow, with a gentle glow, yet they gave her a familiar feeling: "Ah Yan, I heard you said you went to S City to study for a while. How have you been?"
"Mm." Li Tangyan nodded, holding the glass in both hands, letting the warmth spread from her fingertips.
Her light pink lips parted slightly, gently blowing away the hot air that kept rising from them.
"Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
"!"
Xing Mingming's sudden remark made her hand tremble, and then Li Tangyan raised her head.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her soft voice, tinged with amusement and a hint of helplessness, said, "Teacher~ how come even you're starting to care about this now?"
"I'm still young."
"Look at you, why are you blushing?"
"It seems our Ayan hasn't found the right one yet..." Xing Mingming smiled and reached out to pat her head.
His tone was slightly teasing, which made her cheeks blush even more.
Li Tangyan pouted, about to say something.
As a car horn sounded outside, Xing Mingming glanced out the window, her smile deepening: "Looks like my son is back."
"What a perfect time! My son is quite handsome. Ah Yan, would you like to take a look and see if he's suitable for you?"
As Xing Mingming's teasing voice rang out, Li Tangyan's ears turned completely red.
"teacher--"
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of someone pressing a combination lock could be heard outside, and soon the door was pulled open from the outside.
In an instant, a cool breeze carrying raindrops poured in from outside.
The long black umbrella was closed and placed in the umbrella stand next to it. Soon, the raindrops covering it began to trace beautiful arcs as they fell down.
The man seemed to be covered with a thin layer of moisture brought in from outside, and a few strands of hair on his forehead were damp. As the water droplets fell, they landed on the ground and cast a faint shadow.
Li Tangyan followed Xing Mingming toward the door. As they turned the corner, their long shadows were already reflected on the wall under the light of the floor lamp.
The moment she looked up, the clear, crisp voice made the smile that had just appeared on Li Tangyan's lips freeze instantly.
"Mom, I'm home."
Beside her, Xing Mingming's voice was filled with laughter, her mood clearly quite different from hers: "Ah Zhao is back."
