“Hello, I’m Du Feifan, Tang Xueqian’s registered first girlfriend!” Du Feifan flatteringly approached the handsome guy, raising the food in her hand: “Xuexue, dance with me, and these are yours to eat.”
“Brother Tang!” Calls of different sizes came from afar, two chubby children running one after another. What a curious four-way relationship! Shi Zhongcheng laughed and said to the couple following behind: “It’s over, your daughter has another competitor, the prospects look even less promising.”
Shi Bolang’s couple smiled and shook their heads, curiously watching a grown girl entangled with three children, not intending to intervene. They bowed respectfully to Madam Tang and handed over a gift:
“Madam Tang, Merry Christmas. Because my parents couldn’t come, I specially came to apologize—”
“Oh, what are you talking about? This was originally a holiday for young people. What are we old bones doing here? I still need you to support me. Bolang, Shuyi, I’ll have to trouble you.”
“Please don’t say that.”
While they were chatting enthusiastically, Du Feifan on the other side used her superior momentum to snatch Tang Xueqian from the chubby girl’s embrace, sitting on the balcony’s two-person chair eating snacks, almost flying with joy.
“Aunt Du, weren’t you in Taichung yesterday?”
“But I came back today, accompanying my husband to attend, and you are my biggest gain. I attended because I thought you might come.”
“I thought you would accompany my mother.” His mother must be lonely spending the holiday alone.
Du Feifan sipped her juice and shook her head:
“I have more to do than just my mother’s matter. And in my view, after running around with her recently, she should rest for a few days and maybe think about other things. Since I can’t be her guide forever, letting her explore on her own at the right time is inevitable.”
“I don’t understand.”
“It doesn’t matter, just know that I adore you.”
Tang Xueqian looked at her puzzled, then lowered his head, beginning to miss his delicate mother.
“Xuexue, do you hope your parents live together and give you a normal family?” She asked carefully.
He shook his head: “I know people in the world don’t necessarily live the same way, so I don’t feel my current life is abnormal. Many of my classmates also live with only one parent.” Everyone loves him, just living in different places, nothing to feel regretful about.
Indeed, he had lived like this since birth, so he couldn’t find it strange. But Du Feifan was still curious:
“I thought you’d want your parents to be loving.”
“This isn’t something that can be achieved just by wanting it. I just want to grow up quickly, protect my mother, and live with her so she won’t be lonely.”
Wow… what a great aspiration!
