Chapter 15.3
The hot water slowly flowed out from the shower head, and soon the bathroom was filled with water vapour.
Li Xining stood under the trickling water, seemingly washing her body, but in fact, she was thinking wildly. “You are so jealous.” Lu Yuling’s words appeared in her mind again and again, making her heartbeat fast.
‘Am I really jealous?’
But soon she thought of another thing he said tonight. “I will buy a tiger for you tomorrow.”
He thought she was fierce and looked like a tigress. ‘What a b*stard! I wouldn’t be jealous because of such a b*stard!’
Li Xining got dressed, walked out of the bathroom, went near the desk, and opened her school bag to take out the white rabbit key chain.
She hung the pink one on the zipper of Lu Yuling’s school bag. ‘What should I do with the white one? Hang it on the zipper of my school bag? Or hang it on a keychain? How would I explain it if someone discovered it?’
When she was hesitating, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then her mother’s voice came from outside the door. “What time is it? You haven’t gone to bed yet?”
Li Xining was startled and replied incoherently. “Going right now!”
And then she hurriedly stuffed the white rabbit back into her school bag, as if she had done something wrong.
Just after she closed the zipper of her bag, her mother came in wearing pajamas. She closed the door and stared at her daughter, asking, “What happened tonight?”
Yu Wenyin didn’t object to teenage boys and girls having a crush on each other, but she definitely didn’t agree with boys and girls having inappropriate behaviour at this age. Li Xining’s behaviour after returning home today was so abnormal, so she was worried that the brat named Lu did something shameless to her daughter.
Li Xining lowered her head and replied, “Nothing happened.”
“Nothing happened. Then why are you feeling guilty?” Yu Wenyin got straight to the point and asked with suppressed anger, “Did that brat named Lu touch you?”
Only then did Li Xining realise that her mother was thinking wrongly. She sighed and looked at her mother helplessly. “What are you thinking? Can you act like a serious parent?”
Yu Wenyin said confidently, “Your performance today can only make me think in the wrong way.”
Li Xining: “…”
Sighing again, Li Xining sat down on the edge of the bed and told her mother the truth. “It’s nothing. It’s just that in the past two days, there are always been girls asking for Lu Yuling’s phone number. I said he had seen too many women. So he insists on saying that I am jealous.”
Yu Wenyin was in disbelief. “That’s all?”
Li Xining nodded. “Yes.”
Yu Wenyin asked, “Are you jealous?” There was a hint of gossip in her tone.
Li Xining: “I don’t know.” In fact, she knew, but she just didn’t want to admit it.
Yu Wenyin frowned and curled her lips. Not afraid of wrinkles on her mask, she said with disdain, “Lu Yuling owed you nothing in my last life. I have fallen in love with you in this life.”
Li Xining was unhappy. “What do you mean?”
Yu Wenyin: “It means you are not decisive. This indecisive and gibbering look looks so much like your dad!”
Li Xining knew that when her father and mother met, it was her mother who confessed her love first because her father was too shy to start a relationship. He was willing to invite her mother to watch movies and give her roses, but he was shy about expressing his feelings.
When her mother confessed her love to her father, she said, “Do you like me? If you like me, say yes; if you don’t, say no.”
Yu Wenyin knew Li Zhang’s character very well, so the question she asked was very direct and clear, and there were only two options. It was very easy for normal people to choose, but even so, Li Zhang still blushed and hesitated for a long time before saying, “Yes.”
But once they fell in love, Li Zhang started being very overbearing and protective of his wife. However, he was still mocked by Yu Wenyin for many years.
Unfortunately, he had a car accident on Valentine’s Day, which was also the anniversary of their engagement. There was also a cake he made for his wife in the car, with “I love you” written in Chinese and English in chocolate sauce on it.
However, he failed to deliver the cake to his wife with his own hands.
This person had passed away, and the pain had dissipated with the years, leaving only sweet thoughts and memories.
Li Xining really looked up to her dad, but she didn’t want her mom to think she was just like him. She stared at her mom with a serious expression and said, “No, I don’t.”
Yu Wenyin firmly stated, “That’s your preference. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. If you don’t enjoy it, you don’t enjoy it. How is it possible that you don’t know this?”
Li Xining became silent. After some time, she finally confessed. “He didn’t admit it, so why should I confess it first?”
After hearing this, Yu Wenyin nodded slowly. “Well, that makes sense. We are girls, so we have to be reserved.”
Li Xining asked curiously, “When you confessed your love to my father, why didn’t you think about being reserved?”
“If I had been reserved, would I still have you now?” Yu Wenyin glared at her and replied, “You have to analyse your personality for this kind of thing. The boy named Lu is not a reserved person at first glance, but your father is the kind of person who is very good at relationships between men and women. Your grandma told me that they had introduced someone to your father before. She was the daughter of a wealthy family. She was beautiful, versatile, had a good voice, and her temperament was not inferior to that of Teresa Teng. Teresa Teng was the goddess in people’s hearts in that era. In order for her to cultivate a relationship with your dad, your grandfather had invited the eldest daughter to come to his house to play every day, but your dad had just ignored her. When the eldest daughter came, your dad dragged Zhao Hailan from next door to play chess.”
[T/L: Teresa Teng (1953–1995) was a well-known Taiwanese singer, actress, musician, and philanthropist who was well-known for her beautiful tunes and lovely voice.]
Li Xining found something extremely funny and couldn’t control her laughter because she had never heard it before. “My dad is not very smart.”
Yu Wenyin also laughed and then said, “It will be more exciting later. After the two of us went abroad, the eldest lady and Zhao Hailan got close.”
Li Xining’s smile froze on her face, and she stared at her mother in disbelief. “Ah? Is the eldest lady Zhao Cichu’s mother?”
Have a nice day!
