Yan Su dropped her eyes. Her eyelashes shook slightly. âThey must hate me,â she said with a bitter smile. âThey raised me, yet I abandoned them and left with Shi Xiang. Iâm famous now, but... they never tried to find me...â
âI wouldnât come to find you either if I were them,â said Mo Liuxi. âYou know that your parents did hard work to raise you. They did not only gave birth to you, but raised you. Yet, you left them because of a man. They might be angry, but more importantly, they must be heartbroken.â
Hearing him, Yan Su felt so ashamed. âI donât know why did that...â Her eyes turned red when she said that.
âIf I were that boy.â Mo Liuxi stood on the other side of the kitchen range. He looked her in the eyes and said, âWhen your parents didnât want us to be together, I would have promised you that I would become successful and come back to you, instead of letting you betray your family.â
Yan Su paused briefly, looking at him with surprise.
He was only about twenty years old. He still seemed like a young boy. However, the look in his eyes was so mature.
âMo Liuxi, how old are you exactly?â
âTwenty.â Mo Liuxi turned his face away and said, âBut, Iâm not like you. Your family is wealthy. Your parents never allowed you to suffer any bitterness. Unlike me, you donât understand how it feels when your mother coaxes you to eat the last half bowl of rice while she herself is starving.â
âYouâre talking about Aunty Mo...â
âYeah.â Mo Liuxi nodded. âMost parents will never betray and abandon their children. Youâre a girl. When you recklessly left home with that boy, did you think about who might help you if he mistreated you?â
âYouâre right.â Yan Su nodded, smiled, and said, âIf only I was as smart as you back then.â
âWhy donât you say âif only you liked a boy as smart as you?ââ Mo Liuxi walked up behind her, pressing his chest to her back.
Yan Su turned and looked into his passionate eyes.
Her cheeks reddened. She glared at him and said, âCan you please not get so close to me? Youâre taking advantage of me. Are you aware of that?â
Mo Liuxi didnât answer her question. âSu, Iâm just jealous of Shi Xiang. You loved him so much that you even betrayed the world for him.â
Yan Suâs hand that was holding the knife shook slightly.
âWhatâs there to be jealous of...â she murmured. Mo Liuxi wasnât a part of her past, but hadnât he said that he would be a part of her future?
âI am jealous.â Mo Liuxi turned her body around and said, âSo this year, take me home and let me meet your parents.â
That change of topic happened a little too fast.
âWhy would I bring you home?â Yan Su didnât understand.
âIâll be so nice to them, like a good son, because you werenât a good daughter,â Mo Liuxi said with a faint smile.
Yan Su was speechless for a moment.
âYouâre only twenty, right?â She couldnât help but remind him of that. âYouâre still in college. If I bring home a boy from my college whoâs younger than me, my parents wouldnât forgive me. Instead, they would kill me. Theyâd think that Iâm not doing anything right, but that I keep falling in love with the wrong people. I first fell in love at an early age and left home, and now Iâve seduced a boy whoâs younger than me. Thatâs what theyâll think about it.â
âYouâre right.â Mo Liuxi frowned. âLetâs wait for a couple of years then.â
âEh...â Yan Su hadnât expected to hear that. âI donât think weâre in a relationship yet...â
