Chapter 72 - A nervous historical meeting
I Don't Want You To Be Responsible!
Sure enough, Su Ziyang was sleeping.
Su Ziyang was laying on his side in the middle of the big bed. He was wearing a loose set of clothes with a thin blanket covering him, sleeping very soundly.
Parent Lingâs mood could be said to be both nervous and excited. They finally met the legendary daughter-in-law!
They looked at each other and continued to move with gentle footsteps to the bedside, all the while, looking carefully at the sleeping Su Ziyang.
They had only took a glance at him and they already liked him a lot! Su Ziyang was actually quite handsome and had a delicate set of facial features. He looked extremely cultured and refined when he wasnât angry. At the moment, he was sleeping so his eyebrows were naturally relaxed, giving the onlookers a feeling of serenity.
He looked just like a good child.
This was the common conclusion of Father Ling and Mother Ling.
The next moment, their eyes fell unto Su Ziyangâs abdomen. Although there was a blanket covering it, the extent of the bulge definitely showed that the person under the blanket held a huge belly. Disregarding his stomach, the rest of Su Ziyangâs whole body was still thin. So, excluding the possibility of him just being fat, then the only reason would naturally be because he was pregnant!
Father Ling and Mother Ling were beaming with delight. Mother Ling could not help but want to reach her hands out and removed the blanket covering Su Ziyang to see his stomach...
Ling Zhanyi, who was following behind after putting away the strawberries, was shocked and almost cried out in alarm when he saw his motherâs claws. Fortunately, Father Ling grasped his wifeâs hands quickly. He first frowned and then shook his head before pointing to the living roomä¸ meaning, letâs go out first!
Ling Zhanyi breathed a sigh of relief and inwardly thought: Mom, are you so anxious to this extent? No matter what, youâll still have to wait for Ziyang to wake up first ah!
Mother Ling reluctantly turned around and saw Ling Zhanyi who was at the door. She laughed embarrassingly and obediently let Father Ling drag her out.
Ling Zhanyi closed the door and went to the living room with his parents. After sitting down, he said in a soft voice, âMom, donât do that later. You will frighten him with that hungry wolf expression.â
âAll right, I understand.â Mother Ling smiled and squinted her eyes until it became a small slit. She whispered, âI shouldnât be able to scare him with this appearance right? How kind and amiable is this! Am I right, Husband?â
Father Ling and Ling Zhanyi simultaneously gave her the cold shoulders.
Father Ling pulled the person to him and whispered, âWife, youâd better act normal!â
Mother Ling restrained her smile and reverted her eyes to its round shape, She looked at her husband and son before giving a âHmphâ, âYou two canât even understand a joke, you two really suck!â
Ling Zhanyi steeped some tea, poured them into cups and handed them to his parents. Then he said, âMom, Dad, sit down first and Iâll go cook something for you. What would you like to eat?â
âYou, this kid, even knows how to cook now?â Mother Ling was surprised.
Ling Zhanyi nodded proudly: âYup. Mom, you never thought I would be able to cook, right?â
âI knew it! You, this stinky brat didnât look for your mom to cook for you, so it turned out that you can cook for yourself. But are you sure that what you can cooked can be eaten? Ziyang doesnât dislike your cooking?â Mother Ling would never forget to tease Ling Zhanyi.
Ling Zhanyi skillfully tied up his apron and flaunted, âJust wait and see, Mom! Quickly tell me the name of the dishes you want. What do you want to eat with Dad? Son will cook them all for you!â
Father Ling and Mother Ling laughed and stared at Ling Zhanyi who was wearing an apron. They both felt very emotional. Unexpectedly, their son had learnt to cook, and he also knew how to spoil someone. He had really grown up!
They listed a few dishes and Ling Zhanyi went to the kitchen to cook. Father Ling and Mother Ling turned on the TV in the living room, chatting and watching TV while waiting.
Mother Ling had nothing to do so she went to the kitchen to observe her sonâs handsome action of turning the strockle. She couldnât help exclaiming, âYou are good, Son. Mother has high hopes for you. You can surely be a chef in the future!â
âMom, I would only cook for you, my dad, Ziyang, and my future sons. Others canât even taste my dishes even if they want to!â Ling Zhanyi took the opportunity to flatter his mother.
Mother Ling was idle so she might as well do something. So, she went to the refrigerator, took out the strawberries and began to wash them.
âMom, wash some first and eat them with Dad. He will be sleeping for a while more before he wakes up!â Ling Zhanyi laughed.
âItâs fine. It doesnât matter if Dad and I donât eat the strawberries. Keep them for Ziyang. Didnât you say he wanted to eat strawberries a while ago? You werenât able to buy them last time.â
âThere are so many of them, are you afraid that there wouldnât be enough for him to eat?â
âYour Dad and I can wait for the strawberry season to eat them. He is pregnant now, you must satisfy him with whatever he wants to eat.â
âMom, you are the best!â Ling Zhanyi sighed sincerely, but he still asked, âLetâs eat together later. If Ziyang knew you two are not willing to eat them, he would be so flattered.â
âThen Iâll wait for him to feed me himself.â Mother Ling proudly said.
Ling Zhanyi laughed and said, âHe would surely do that... Okay, Mom, go out. Leave here to me. You can rest assured.â
âThen Iâll go to the bedroom and see him?â Mother Ling was especially looking forward to seeing him. âWhat if he wakes up earlier than expected? I promise I wonât scare him. Donât worry!â
Ling Zhanyi wasnât able to win her, so he could only nod and agree, âOkay, you go!â
Mother Ling crept into the bedroom and looked at Su Ziyang carefully.
Father Ling watched TV for a while and felt that there was nothing interesting. He followed Mother Ling into the room and waited for Su Ziyang to wake up.
What was the feeling of waking up from being stared at?
Su Ziyang couldnât explain it clearly even after a long timeââ when he woke up from his nap that day, he found that there two people beside him staring at him covetously. What exactly was his mood?
Flabbergasted, horrified, upset, and then after he thought about what might have happened, he immediately became overwhelmed and lost.
ââ Ling Zhanyi, you bastard! Why donât you tell Lao Zi in advance that you are bringing your parents back?
ââ If you are not going to tell me in advance then why didnât you wake me up when Iâm sleeping?
Above was what Su Ziyang was thinking about when he woke up to find Parent Ling in the room with him.
As for why he had guessed it was his parents, that was because Ling Zhanyi went to his parentsâ house to discuss meeting him. Discussion; What is a discussion? That is to set a date in advance! Obtain mutual consent! Then meet afterward!
Now that they are here, he still did not wake him up!
What is this situation of his parents staring at him while he is sleeping ah!
Su Ziyang wanted to go mad, but because there was no Ling Zhanyi in front of him and it was two smiling parents, he took a deep breath and tried to press back his shout. He then sat up with his elbows supporting him.
When Mother Ling saw him woke up and his swirling eyes, looking utterly quick-witted, she grew even fonder of him. Of course, she also saw the surprise in Su Ziyangâs eyes and hastily explained, âZiyang, right? Are you scared? I didnât expect you to wake up now. Iâm Zhanyiâs mother and this is Zhanyiâs father. We came here without being invited, did we scared you?â
Su Ziyang whispered, âNo... As long as you are not frightened by me. I...â Speaking halfway, Su Ziyang bowed his head and stroked his abdomen with one of his hands nervously before he whispered, âI look like this...â
âItâs all right, Zhanyi had told us all about it. We already know the situation. Donât be afraid. We wonât look at you differently.â Mother Ling saw Su Ziyangâs belly bulging under the blanket. Her eyes were bright, but she quickly retracted it back and said with a pleasant face, âAre you awake from your nap? Zhanyi is cooking. If youâre still sleepy, sleep a little longer. Weâll call you when the meal is ready.
âNo, Iâm already done with my nap.â Su Ziyang then got out of the bed. Mother Ling busily extended her hands to help him. âSlow down, Iâll get whatever you need!â
Su Ziyang shook his head in embarrassment. âI donât need anything. I have been sleeping and didnât go to the bathroom. Now I feel a little nervous and want to go to the bathroom...â
Father Ling and Mother Ling showed a smile: âOkay, then go. Take your time.â
âAuntie, Uncle, sit down first. Iâll be right back.â Su Ziyang put on his shoes and slowly moved out of the bedroom with a smiling face.
Originally, he wanted to go to the kitchen to find Ling Zhanyi to settle accounts. However, Father Ling and Mother Ling followed him out and smiled at him in the living room.
Su Ziyang had to smile at them again, then turned around and moved to the bathroom.
After solving his physiological problems, Su Ziyang washed his hands and looked at himself in the mirror with his somewhat unkempt appearance. He gnashed his teeth. Damn bastard! Why didnât you tell me earlier? This is so embarrassing! Go to hell!
When meeting their future parents-in-law, which person will be sleeping so soundly and have them wait for him?!
Oh God, Iâm ashamed to see anyone. My face has been all utterly lost!
Su Ziyang felt regretful for a long time before he adjusted his mood. He slowly walked out of the bathroom with a smile and headed for the living room.
âAuntie, Uncle, I didnât knew that you were visiting today. I have lost my manner...â Su Ziyang took the lead in apologizing, âDonât be angry with me, Iâll pour you tea.â
Mother Ling got up and grabbed him, pulling him to the sofa and sat him down. She laughed and said, âZiyang, donât be so rigid. We are the one that came without being invited. Donât be angry with us!â
âNo, no, itâs all Ling Zhanyi. Why didnât he tell me earlier?â Su Ziyang saw that Mother Ling was so amiable that he relaxed a little and could not help complaining.
âWe didnât let him tell you, afraid that youâll be nervous at home alone. Isnât that good? You can sleep comfortably without worrying about anything. We also came here on the spur of the moment. We didnât buy you anything. Well, we bought strawberries on the road. Quite a lot of them. When there is a chance next time, Mom will make up for your meeting gift!â The more she looked at Su Ziyang, the more she liked him, so she directly changed the form of address.
Mom?
Su Ziyang stared in surprise inwardly thinking that wasnât this too fast?
What should he do then? Should he call her Mom or Auntie?
Su Ziyang could only smile first and his mouth was almost getting a cramp from it. In his heart, he kept shoutingââ Bastard Ling, when are you gonna be done with your cooking? Must you show off your damn cooking skill at this moment? This is a critical moment and you are letting me down! Hurry come here and save me!
