Three years ago.

Liu Ruoxue paced back and forth in front of Xia Ruoming's door, looking like she was worried about something.

"Hey honey, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk it over. Stop walking around like that. It's giving me a headache."

"Old Xia, you must have a good talk with your daughter. She can't go on like this." Liu Ruoxue looked at Xia Ruoming who locked herself in the room, and couldn't stop sighing.

"You'd better not do that." Xia Jingsong looked up at the locked door, then continued to look down at his math magazine. He didn't seem to have any intention of using the spare key to open the door and have a chat with Xia Ruoming.

"That's your daughter, Xia Jingsong! Don't you care about her?" Liu Ruoxue knocked on the wall and shouted at Xia Jingsong.

"Our daughter has always wanted to pass her own way. You'd better stop worrying about it, wife. You'll age quickly if you make yourself too anxious." Xia Jingsong shook his head and continued to lean on the sofa, still with no intention of moving.

"Xia Jingsong! If she liked a man, I would just let her do what she wants! But now she likes a woman! There's no possibility between them. How can a woman like a woman? Not to mention that she looks like she must have him. Even if she were a more realistic person, she would be different! Now she is a high school student. Studying is the important thing. How can she do well in the exam like this?" Liu Ruoxue complained to Xia Jingsong incessantly, as if she expected Xia Jingsong to support her idea.

Xia Jingsong's eyes finally left the math magazine with the Sudoku game and turned to look at Liu Ruoxue's face: "Wife, did you forget something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you really think our daughter is a good student? Don't you know who she is working so hard for?" Xia Jingsong said helplessly, "Don't you know what our daughter likes most? She is willing to give up basketball and study hard for that woman. It's time for you to let it go."

In fact, he also knew that Liu Ruoxue had always understood this matter, but she just didn't want to accept it.

"Old Xia, do you mean that we should just leave them like this? They are all women. She and Xia Ruoming are both women!" Liu Ruoxue stared at Xia Jingsong's face and said in a questioning tone.

"My daughter doesn't care that she is a woman. As long as I can be with her, that's enough. That's what I understand. I don't know anything else." Xia Jingsong, who is usually dominated by his wife, looks nonchalant at this moment, as if he is not afraid of Liu Ruoxue's "majesty" at all.

"Xia Jingsong! I tell you, Xia Ruoming plans to be with a woman, and I can't agree to it! This is not only for her own good, but also because it is a mother's decision!" Just like Xia Jingsong said, Liu Ruoxue couldn't say that Xia Ruoming was really wrong, because some things are destined to be chosen by oneself, but she stood from the perspective of a mother and told Xia Jingsong that she would never agree to such a thing.

"Ruoxue, you still don't understand your daughter's character. The reason why she didn't discuss it with you is that she has already decided that even if you don't accept it, as long as she can pursue that woman, she will still be with that woman. Even if one day Ruoming really decides to tell you her decision, it is not to ask for your opinion, but to inform you! Whether you accept it or not, Ruoming will not care." Xia Jingsong still did not intend to stand on the same front with Liu Ruoxue. He hoped that Liu Ruoxue would accept her daughter's decision, but he did not really expect Liu Ruoxue to accept her daughter's decision.

Just as he said, this was not to seek Liu Ruoxue's opinion, but just to inform her.

“…”

After a long silence, the sound of Liu Ruoxue sighing softly was heard in the living room.

"Xia Jingsong, maybe you are right." Liu Ruoxue seemed to have lost all her energy and said in a very disappointed tone, "But I will never accept her choice. I will talk to her. If she still chooses this way, then I can only hope that she will not step into this house again after graduation. She is already 18 years old after finishing her senior year of high school and can live independently."

"She is your daughter, can you really bear to let her go?" Xia Jingsong asked without raising his head.

"If she were my daughter, I wouldn't feel embarrassed." Liu Ruoxue's face was full of disappointment and sadness. "Since she is my daughter, she should know that I will definitely not accept it. Since she doesn't think so, then I can only think that she is not my daughter."

After saying that, Liu Ruoxue pressed her temples and walked back to her bedroom.

In fact, Liu Ruoxue was not an open-minded mother. In her previous life, Xia Ruoming never expected Liu Ruoxue to support her relationship. She knew that her mother, who was almost unchanging, would never accept such a thing.

Liu Ruoxue even saw some inexplicable and sharp comments about girls who got married abroad in the news, which made Xia Ruoming more determined not to talk about these things with Liu Ruoxue.

Xia Ruoming didn't understand either. He just liked girls, what was wrong with that? Why did Liu Ruoxue have such a big opinion on this matter?

"Ruoxue, don't you want your daughter to become a successful woman? According to your idea, the current situation is pretty good. My daughter is stubborn and will not give up even in this situation. She will definitely study hard for that woman." Xia Jingsong looked at Liu Ruoxue's back and said in a relaxed tone, "After all, except for the fact that my daughter likes women, isn't everything developing according to your expectations? In this case, Ruoxue, why should you be so anxious? Just let nature take its course."

"If you interfere with your daughter's choice, your wish to raise her to be a successful person will be in vain."

"Xia Jingsong! Do you know what you are talking about? This is a major event in my daughter's life. It is not the sweet and sour love drama in novels, nor is it the bullshit story in Korean dramas!" Liu Ruoxue turned around and said coldly, "Using my daughter's feelings, letting her study hard, and then find a love that is doomed to fail?"

"You can't see the future, so how do you know your daughter's love is doomed to fail?"

"With me here, it's a doomed love. Even in the next life, I won't agree to such a thing." She was so angry that she almost choked on her breath. She took a few deep breaths before she continued to speak slowly to Xia Jingsong: "Xia Jingsong, if you hadn't been so indulgent to her, she wouldn't have become like this. Now it's obviously wrong, but you still want to indulge her?"

"If she hadn't acted like this today, would you still think that she and that guy named Xu were just friends?" Xia Jingsong suddenly laughed.
