"Hey, isn't this my precious son? Why is he so listless? He looks so resentful. Where did he get angry?" Mother Shen sat on the sofa while trimming her nails, looking at her son with a half-smile, her eyes full of amusement. Her son walked into the room slowly with his head down, like a deflated ball, dragging heavy steps, and sat on the sofa without saying a word, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. Seeing this, Mother Shen couldn't help but wonder: What's wrong with this child today? He's not like this usually...
This dejected look is so pitiful.
Shen Yicheng ignored his mother's teasing and fell into deep thought. He began to carefully recall every sentence he had just said, trying to find any mistakes or unclear expressions. Was it because his tone was not firm enough? Or was there some detail that he overlooked? Or perhaps his mother had a different view and understanding of the matter?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and a sense of frustration welled up in his heart. He was obviously telling the truth! Why didn't she believe it? Should he really find another opportunity to explain it to her properly? But how could he convince her... Various thoughts kept flashing through Shen Yicheng's mind, but he could not find a perfect answer.
So, filled with anticipation and hope, he turned his gaze to his mother, a hint of nervousness and hesitation in his eyes. He took a deep breath, then asked in a very soft and cautious voice, "Mom, how do you think I should express my feelings to Huo Yan? How can I convince her that I truly love her?" He seemed afraid that even a wrong word would ruin this fragile atmosphere.
The mother, who was drinking water, suddenly spurted out the tea in her mouth when she heard his question! The unsuspecting son was drenched by this sudden "fountain", and his face was covered with water droplets. The mother was also amused by her own antics and couldn't help laughing. However, seeing her son's innocent and embarrassed face, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly picked up a tissue to wipe the water stains on his face.
"Son! Hurry and wipe it off! This is really not my fault! It's really... what you just said is unbelievable! I couldn't even imagine that you would have such a day!" As she spoke, she handed him a towel, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion. It was as if the person standing before her was no longer the familiar son, but a complete stranger.
Shen Yicheng took the tissue speechlessly and wiped the tea stains on his face. He felt that he must have been crazy to think that his mother was reliable. Fortunately, he didn't ask. If he had asked, he might not have any good suggestions and would have been laughed at by his mother.
When his mother saw him eating shit, she thought he must be unhappy.
"Son, don't be like this. What happened just now was just a surprise." Mom explained.
“Accident, I think you did it on purpose.” Shen Yicheng said.
"Tsk, so what if I did it on purpose? You're my son, can't I scold you?" The mother said unhappily, then sat aside to admire her son's expression.
Wow, how wonderful! Someone who usually complains about everything has a day when he's trapped by love. Wow, it's really karma, and no one is spared by heaven. Seeing his usual arrogant look, I thought he would die alone. Who would have thought that he would come to his senses so quickly? It's really rare. It seems that Yan girl still has a trick up her sleeve.
Shen Yicheng was swept by his mother's expression. He didn't need to think about what his mother was thinking at the moment. It must be gloating. He had seen it countless times.
"Mom, am I your son? Why do you act like this is how it should be?" he said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, you don't know whether you are my son or not? Go call your dad and ask him." His mother ignored her son's boring question.
They kept silent. He must be sick. He called to get scolded. Maybe his father would come home and punish him. He was a tough guy, so he couldn't be treated like this.
"Hey, was your confession rejected by Yan girl?" Mother Shen asked with great interest, as if the person in front of her was not her own son, and asked quite happily.
"Mom, your son was rejected, so you are so happy? Aren't you afraid that your son won't be able to get married and you won't have a daughter-in-law?" Shen Yicheng complained.
"That doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not me who can't get married, and it's not me who will end up alone. It doesn't matter whether I have a daughter-in-law or not. If not, I can have a goddaughter." Mother Shen said happily.
“Mom, you are really…” Shen Yicheng didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that her son was speechless because of her criticism, Mother Shen was very happy and admired him for a while. Seeing that her son was rarely depressed, she softened her tone and said, "Are you stupid? You went to confess to someone early in the morning. Who wants to hear this after waking up from a sleep?"
Mother Shen felt that if she continued teasing her son, he would probably get seriously injured, so she decided to talk to him properly.
When Shen Yicheng heard this, he felt that there was a chance, so he asked, “Then how do we do it?”
"What did you just say to her?" Mother Shen was really curious about what her son said to be rejected like this.
"I told her that I meant what I said last night. I want to marry her, I like her, and I want her to be my girlfriend." Shen Yicheng said depressedly.
"Now you know you're wrong, right? I usually tell you to give in to her and stop nagging her. Now that I've got the chance, how could I not teach you a lesson?" Mother Shen was speechless when she said this: "Fortunately, who would confess their love so early in the morning, or even ask someone to marry them directly? If that happened, no one would be happy."
"Then what should I do?" Shen Yicheng asked humbly.
"You give someone a bouquet of flowers, go on dates and chat with them every now and then, and if she pays attention to you, you have a chance. When pursuing someone, attitude is what's important. If you don't even show them your attitude, how can they feel your sincerity? Don't you agree?"
Seeing that she was listening attentively, Shen's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Listen to me, during this period of time, you should pursue her seriously, send flowers, gifts, date her, treat her to meals, go out to play, and do everything you should do. I guarantee that you can win her over. If you can't get her, you can get out of the house. When you succeed, you can go home."
"Is it really useful?" Shen Yicheng asked unsurely.
Mother Shen affirmed: “Of course it is useful.”
