The next morning, as soon as Shen Yanqiu came downstairs, he met two enthusiastic gazes.
His heart was beating fast, but he remained calm on the surface. He smiled and greeted Father and Mother Zhu: "Dad, Mom, good morning!"
Zhu's mother is still gentle as always: "Good morning, Yueyue, come down for dinner soon."
Zhu's father hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Good morning, Yueyue, come and eat."
When it comes to the same words, Chen Yanqiu prefers Zhu's mother's tone and the radiance of maternal love that emanates from her.
Sitting down next to Zhu's mother, she advised: "Watch your feet. It's only been a short while. Don't walk so much."
Chen Yanqiu is well-behaved and should be.
I was so overwhelmed with happiness yesterday that I forgot about sitting in a wheelchair today.
In fact, he had stood up and walked since the plaster was removed, but he did it secretly every time. This time he stood up in broad daylight, and he still felt a little guilty.
Zhu's father was considerate and didn't ask any more questions. He just diligently handed him the chopsticks, picked up the food, and looked at him from time to time, especially at his lips and neck, as if he was looking for something.
"Ahem!" Zhu's mother gave him a warning look.
Chen Yanqiu watched them arguing and pretended not to know, but he was actually very panicked.
I was so careful yesterday, but they still found me. What should I say next? Lie or tell the truth?
He was torn between his own conscience and his own desires in his mind, and he didn't notice that both his father and mother had put down their chopsticks.
"Yueyue, did you sleep well last night?" Zhu's mother asked him.
Here it comes, Mother Zhu asked herself, how could she lie to Mother Zhu?
Facing Mother Zhu's concerned look, Shen Yanqiu felt a little ashamed and replied softly, "Very well."
Zhu Mingchuan couldn't wait to lay the groundwork and went straight to the point: "Yueyue, where did you go last night?"
Chen Yanqiu didn't feel such a heavy psychological burden when facing him. Since everyone knew that he had gone out, there was no need to hide it.
"Let's go out and play!"
Nonsense, of course he knew that they went out to play, he asked where they went!
"Where?"
"Outside!"
"Where is outside?"
"Not at home!"
The two of them asked and answered each other, and it seemed like they were communicating back and forth, but in reality, what they said was totally off the point.
The conversation couldn't go on. Zhu's mother couldn't bear to look at Zhu Mingchuan. She had already said she would come to ask, so why was he so anxious?
"Don't you still have to go to work? Go now!"
Zhu Mingchuan was unwilling to give up, but his daughter ignored him and his wife was driving him away, so he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Until the moment he went out, he was still thinking in his heart: I will definitely not work overtime today, and I will definitely come back early!
As soon as Zhu Mingchuan left, the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
Mother Zhu watched her daughter eat with a smile on her face, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chen Yanqiu waited for Zhu's mother to ask him, but she didn't ask a single question until he finished his meal and was about to go upstairs.
Chen Yanqiu paused as he was about to go upstairs, and looked at Mother Zhu, feeling even more guilty.
He walked to Zhu's mother, without saying a word, just looked at her and smiled.
Seeing him like this, Zhu's mother burst out laughing, tapped his head with her finger, sighed, and said, "You, you clever little boy, you just know how to soften my heart."
Chen Yanqiu didn't mean that at all. He just felt very sorry for Zhu's mother. Who knew that Zhu Tingyue was often like this? No wonder Zhu's mother looked so doting. More than a month had passed, and she hadn't noticed anything abnormal about "Zhu Tingyue".
He didn't hide or avoid her, and the apology in his eyes made Mother Zhu feel distressed. She took his hand and walked towards the yard.
"Do you know you're wrong?" Zhu's mother said as they walked.
Chen Yanqiu felt that her tone was so gentle. He had never heard Zhu Tingyue speak to him in such a tone. Are they really mother and daughter?
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sneaked out and made you worry."
His apology was sincere, and Zhu's mother, who didn't want to make a fuss about it in the first place, felt even more sympathetic towards him now.
"Your father and I don't blame you, it's just that it's not safe for a girl like you to go out at night." Then, she changed the subject, "Is he that good?"
Chen Yanqiu's attention was on the first half of the sentence. Zhu's mother didn't blame herself, so he knew that Zhu's mother was the best mother in the world!
When the second half of the sentence came out, he answered without thinking, "Yeah, very good!"
He admitted it openly and honestly, leaving Zhu's mother at a loss for words. She had thought she would have to spend some time explaining it, but now it seemed that she had been overthinking.
"How good?"
The daughter was raised by the couple and they loved her more than enough. She would not fall in love with someone just because of what others said.
"Uh," Chen Yanqiu was stuck, feeling annoyed at how he blurted it out. He then looked at Mother Zhu, who was still smiling at him, with no intention of blaming him at all.
He was relieved, maybe this was an opportunity. He was the first to see the moon, and he was trying to make himself look good in front of his future mother-in-law. This was definitely unprecedented and would never be repeated!
"He's good in every way! He's smart, caring, ambitious, and goes along with me in everything. I'm very happy to be with him."
Shen Yanqiu spared no effort to praise himself, not blushing at all for his words.
Seeing the happiness on his face, Zhu's mother could hardly control herself. She knew her daughter really liked him, but she still had to tell her something: "You should like someone who is already very good, not someone who is good to you."
Chen Yanqiu was stunned for a moment. What is a good person?
Zhu's mother smiled and explained: "He is a good person. It means he is responsible, has a bottom line, is loyal in relationships, and is hardworking and motivated. He may be good to you in some aspects, but you don't know how he is in other aspects."
