ASSHKHME Chapter 82

Behind him, the footsteps quickened, echoing in the underground parking garage.

Cheng Tangyu walked anxiously, “Don’t fight, don’t fight! Talk nicely!”

Xie Liangjun followed worriedly, “Wife, don’t worry, wife, slow down!”

The scene was chaotic for a moment.

Chen Zhuo looked at Xie Yu, then at Cheng Tangyu, and turned to help Cheng Tangyu, “Auntie, don’t worry, we’re not fighting, just fooling around.”

After checking that he hadn’t scratched anyone’s car, Xie Yu limped over, “Mom, Dad, what are you doing here? Are you sick?”

Xie Liangjun put his arm around Cheng Tangyu’s waist, clearly wanting to kick him, “You heartless brat, what do you think we’re doing at the hospital?”

Xie Yu looked at Cheng Tangyu’s waistline, which wasn’t obvious under her down jacket, “Oh, oh, right! How is it? Showing signs of being human yet?”

Cheng Tangyu rolled her eyes at Xie Yu speechlessly, put her hands together and shook them, “Heaven help me, it has to be a girl. If I give birth to another skyrocket like you, I’m really…”

She paused, looked at Chen Zhuo, and her tone softened a bit, “Xiao Zhuo, what are you two doing at the hospital? Not feeling well?”

Chen Zhuo’s palms were sweating nervously.

He was still scared thinking about how he was almost caught on the spot just now.

He tried his best to maintain a natural expression, pretending to be calm, “Uncle Xu is sick, so I came to visit. It just so happened that I had a dinner appointment with Xie Yu today, so he dropped me off.”

Cheng Tangyu said “Oh” and smiled, “Is that so? You scared me. The flu has been so bad recently, I thought you two were sick. Good that you’re okay.”

As she spoke, she reached out and felt the thickness of Chen Zhuo’s clothes, frowning, “Xiao Zhuo, you’re wearing too little. Aren’t you wearing long johns? Your hands are cold.”

Chen Zhuo was stunned, holding Cheng Tangyu’s hand, pursing his lips, his nose feeling a little sour.

It was a mother’s hand.

As warm as his mother’s hand.

After his parents passed away, no elder had cared for him like this.

He didn’t bat an eye when he lied to Xu Keyuan just now, but now, facing Xie Yu’s parents, he felt guilty and ashamed, and just wanted to escape.

Xie Yu noticed Chen Zhuo’s lowered head and silence, and his eyes flickered slightly.

He suddenly pointed to his knee, “I wasn’t sick just now, but now I think I need to see an orthopedist! My kneecap hurts!”

Chen Zhuo couldn’t help but laugh, rubbing his nose, “Sorry, Uncle and Auntie, I didn’t control my strength just now.”

Cheng Tangyu warmed Chen Zhuo’s hand, patting it, “Hey, don’t listen to this kid playing the victim, he’s tough. When he was in elementary school, he learned to skydive from a movie, took my parasol and jumped from the second floor. Only his butt was swollen for three days, and I was the one who spanked him.”

Chen Zhuo’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at Xie Yu, shocked, “Jumped off the building with a parasol?”

Cheng Tangyu happily revealed her own son’s embarrassing past, using a gentle Jiangnan accent to speak rough northern dialect, “Wasn’t he? Tell me, isn’t this child a tiger? When he was little, he also…”

“Hey, hey, hey!” Xie Yu urgently called a stop, “It doesn’t hurt anymore! It doesn’t hurt anymore, Mom, how were your test results?”

Cheng Tangyu patted her stomach, “I’m fine, all good. When I was pregnant with you, your dad had morning sickness for a month and lost ten pounds. This time, our little treasure is so good, better than his brother.”

Chen Zhuo’s brain short-circuited, “Who, who had morning sickness?”

Xie Liangjun said proudly, “You’ll know when you marry a wife in the future. As long as a man loves his wife enough, he can even take her morning sickness for her.”

Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, not knowing what he was thinking, and looked at Chen Zhuo with a half-smile.

Chen Zhuo pretended not to see it.

Cheng Tangyu invited, “Xiao Zhuo, have you two eaten yet? Come home with Auntie for dinner? The chef is here today to try out the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s so delicious, come and have a taste?”

Chen Zhuo hesitated and glanced at Xie Yu, “I don’t think so, Auntie, we…or Xie Yu should go back with you.”

Xie Yu stepped forward, put his arm around Chen Zhuo’s shoulder in front of his parents, with an undeniable force, “Let’s go together, didn’t you want to eat oysters? Mom, did you have them buy oysters?”

Chen Zhuo’s face was a little hot, and he glared at Xie Yu, “When did I say I wanted to eat them?”

Xie Yu said naturally, “Well, I want to eat them, garlic oysters, pan-fried oysters, and oyster chicken pot.”

Cheng Tangyu asked doubtfully, “When did you start liking seafood? Didn’t you think seafood was fishy?”

Xie Yu said righteously, “It’s good for my health, right? I’m nineteen, I need to replenish myself.”

Cheng Tangyu exchanged a look with Xie Liangjun, “No wonder you don’t come home? You’re with your girlfriend? Have you decided to spend your life with her? And you’re already living together?”

Chen Zhuo felt like thorns were growing on the soles of his feet, making him uncomfortable all over.

Xie Yu was really annoying! A big blabbermouth!

Xie Yu said casually, “Yeah, I’ve thought it through, I’ve recognized him a long time ago, I’m going to spend my life with him.”

Chen Zhuo’s heart skipped a beat, a small current running through him, causing a tingling sensation.

This was secretly confessing to him in front of his parents. Xie Yu, that bastard, was still strangely likable.

Cheng Tangyu smiled and said, “That’s good, don’t hide her, when are you going to let me meet my daughter-in-law? Have you met her, Xiao Zhuo?”

Before Chen Zhuo could speak, Xie Yu said leisurely, “I’ve recognized him, but I don’t know if he’s recognized me yet. He’s still applying for an exchange program abroad.”

Xie Liangjun said “Oh dear,” “A long-distance relationship? That really tests the relationship.”

Xie Yu chimed in, “Isn’t it? I’m just afraid he’ll find a blonde guy outside and kick me to the curb.”

Cheng Tangyu said worriedly, “There are a lot of foreign handsome guys.”

Xie Yu sighed, “Who says there aren’t?”

Chen Zhuo listened to their back-and-forth conversation, feeling lost and wanting to faint on the spot.

What was Xie Yu’s courage made of?

Playing games with his parents?

How stressful it must be to have this son!

Chen Zhuo quietly put his hand behind his back, reached into Xie Yu’s jacket, and twisted the soft flesh on his waist in a circle.

Xie Yu cried out in pain, “Ow—”

Cheng Tangyu and Xie Liangjun asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Zhuo pretended to support him, “Xiao Yu, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Xie Yu glared at him unhappily, just about to speak.

Chen Zhuo turned his head and lowered his voice, saying fiercely, “If you dare to talk nonsense in front of your parents again, I’ll move back to my own place.”

Xie Yu groaned in pain and said to his parents, “I’m fine, just got a cramp.”

Cheng Tangyu said speechlessly, “You scream like a pig when you have a cramp? Let’s go home, the air in the parking garage is too bad.”

Xie Yu covered his waist, “Yeah, yeah, you two go first, Xiao Zhuo and I will be right behind you.”

The moment Xie Liangjun’s car drove out of the parking garage, Xie Yu pinched Chen Zhuo’s butt hard.

Chen Zhuo was so startled that he almost jumped up on the spot, “Are you sick! In public!”

After getting in the car, Xie Yu lifted his shirt to show him the bruised side of his waist, shouting, “Look, look! Look at how you pinched me! And my knee! My knee must be bruised too! Are you a violent maniac!”

Chen Zhuo also lifted his shirt to show him the purplish finger marks on his waist, glancing at him sideways.

Xie Yu was speechless, “…I did that?”

Chen Zhuo rolled up his pant leg to show him the purplish knees with traces of blood, glancing at him sideways.

Xie Yu felt guilty, “…Why aren’t you wearing long johns?”

Chen Zhuo sneered, “Heh.”
