TRMLCM Chapter 34
by VolareSeeing the infatuated look on her son’s face, Qin Yun’s wandering thoughts slowly returned. She calmed down and asked, “When did this happen?”
She always believed she had raised Cheng Yi well. Although he had been mischievous since childhood, he was never arrogant or domineering, and he never bullied girls. He was sincere to his friends and polite to women. It’s just that he had never been in a relationship from childhood until now.
Her son was so handsome; she had always assumed Cheng Yi wasn’t dating because he hadn’t met a girl who moved his heart…
So it turned out he hadn’t met a boy who moved his heart…
Seeing that she had calmed down, Cheng Yi slowly and candidly said, “Recently.”
Qin Yun’s breathing tightened. Cheng Yi had just graduated from university a few months ago. After going out to fool around late at night, he was lectured by his father. Then he ran off to live in his own apartment outside, only occasionally coming home.
Now you’re telling her that her son went out to live for a while and came back to come out to her… Alright, she could accept it.
Seeing Qin Yun’s reaction to these words, Cheng Yi lowered his eyes slightly and said, “Mom, I like him, but I don’t know what he thinks. We’re not together yet.”
Cheng Yi thought to himself, he should quickly resolve the coming out issue and then confess to Mu An.
He didn’t want to worry about these things after being with Mu An. A real man should give the person he likes a good future.
Although Qin Yun didn’t understand this circle, she was gratified to see her mischievous and troublemaking youngest son being so responsible. But on the other hand, her son had liked someone for several days and hadn’t confessed yet. Her gaze was slightly disdainful.
Back then, she had fallen in love with Cheng Fu at first sight and pursued him with such passion that she captured him in less than five days. Then they lived together, arguing and making up, until now.
The air was silent. Cheng Yi didn’t know if his mother could truly accept this. If his mother didn’t speak, he wouldn’t dare to say anything.
After a long while, Qin Yun looked at him and asked, “Do you have any photos?”
She wanted to see what kind of person could make her son like him so much.
Cheng Yi nodded, then took out his phone, lit up the screen, and handed it over.
Qin Yun glanced at the phone’s lock screen wallpaper and then looked at Cheng Yi with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say.
She looked away and carefully examined the person in the wallpaper. He was indeed a handsome guy, with delicate features and a little light makeup, making him pleasing to the eye. It soothed Qin Yun’s somewhat chaotic emotions.
A hint of amazement flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded in satisfaction. Worthy of being her son, with the same good taste as her.
Returning the phone to Cheng Yi, who was staring at her expectantly, she asked in a good mood, “How did you two meet?”
Licking his slightly dry lips, Cheng Yi looked up at her, feeling very nervous. He slowly said, “He’s a streamer on Yin Fu, I met him by chance.”
In this situation, he seemed to have returned to his childhood. At that time, Cheng Fu was busy with the company and came home very late every day, and his older brother Cheng Hua was at a crucial moment in his senior year of high school. To save time, he directly applied to live at school, so only Qin Yun and he were relatively free at home.
Whenever he came home after a fight at school, Qin Yun, who had received a message from the teacher in advance, would drag him to stand in front of the sofa. He had to honestly explain the cause, process, and result of the matter. If it was his fault, Qin Yun would eat snacks and watch dramas while he had to write endless self-criticisms until Qin Yun was satisfied. If it wasn’t his fault, Qin Yun would hold him in her arms, and they would happily eat snacks, watch dramas, and watch movies together.
Now he was sitting next to Qin Yun, just like when he was a child, telling her about his emotional experiences… Why did he feel so embarrassed?
As someone who liked to watch dramas, how could Qin Yun not have Yin Fu, this popular entertainment app?
She picked up her phone, opened Yin Fu, and asked Cheng Yi, “What’s his name?”
Cheng Yi’s eyes darkened. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “…Mu An.”
She typed it into the search bar and clicked search. Several similar names popped up in the comprehensive results, but only one white cat avatar suddenly showed that it was live streaming.
Cheng Yi was sitting next to her, so he naturally saw the avatar that was live streaming. He looked down at the time on his phone and realized it was just 8 o’clock.
“…Welcome everyone to my livestream. There’s a fortune bag in the upper right corner, I just started streaming, let’s wait a while for the livestream to get more people.”
The familiar voice sounded beside her. Qin Yun had already clicked in, and she confirmed it when she saw that delicate face.
*Click*
The sound of the door opening came, and then two tall and strong figures appeared at the door.
Cheng Fu and Cheng Hua, after changing their shoes, looked at the two people on the sofa who were close together and seemed to be watching something. They walked over together.
Cheng Fu directly slapped Cheng Yi’s shoulder, who was facing away from him, and said with a hearty laugh, “You brat, you still know how to come back?”
Cheng Yi was engrossed in watching and didn’t notice their return at all. He was startled and then turned around. Seeing that it was his father and older brother, he relaxed. Then he covered his chest with his hand, leaned into Qin Yun’s arms, and said pitifully, “Sister Qin, look at your husband, he’s bullying me.”
Qin Yun was watching intently and had heard the sound at the door a long time ago, but she ignored it. Now that Cheng Yi fell towards her, she immediately moved away in disgust, then held onto her phone, which she almost dropped, and said, “You deserve it.”
Cheng Yi was heartbroken at the words and quickly looked at his older brother. Cheng Hua stood next to Cheng Fu, holding a briefcase in one hand and spreading his hands helplessly with the other. He couldn’t control his father either.
Cheng Fu looked at Cheng Yi triumphantly, then reached out his big hand and pulled him up from the sofa, saying, “Alright, stop pretending. Your dad is starving to death, let’s go, let’s go eat.”
After Qin Yun stood up, he quickly walked over and put his arm around Qin Yun’s shoulder, helping his wife, who was staring intently at the phone, lead the way.
A quick glance caught sight of the handsome young man who was live streaming on her phone. Cheng Fu couldn’t help but touch his recently haggard face after working overtime, secretly thinking that after this project was completed, he should take good care of himself. His wife liked his face the most back then.
The family of four’s dinner was very ordinary and warm. Qin Yun put down her phone and ate quietly, while Cheng Fu chatted with Cheng Hua about the company’s projects from time to time, while giving his wife food and not forgetting his two sons, whom he was extremely proud of.
Cheng Hua’s mind was much more delicate than the careless Cheng Fu. He slightly sensed that something was wrong between Qin Yun and Cheng Yi, and his heart sank slightly, but he didn’t say it in front of Cheng Fu.
After dinner, Cheng Fu and Cheng Mu had already returned to their room. Cheng Yi lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the TV series that was still playing.
Cheng Hua walked over to his side with a plate of sliced apple pieces and sat down, then brought the plate in front of him, signaling.
Cheng Yi slowly inserted a piece with a small skewer and ate it when he heard Cheng Hua next to him ask, “Did you quarrel with Mom?”
It couldn’t be blamed on him for thinking this way. Cheng Yi’s rebellious period coincided with Qin Yun’s menopause, which was a devastating combination. The two quarreled every three days and made a big fuss every five days, wishing they could tear the house down. He and Cheng Fu were sandwiched in the middle, constantly smoothing things over to resolve the situation.
When eating dinner tonight, he noticed that Cheng Yi’s eyes often glanced towards Qin Yun, but Qin Yun ignored him.
This reminded Cheng Hua of Cheng Yi, who would slowly feel guilty and regretful after quarreling with Qin Yun every time, but didn’t want to lower his head and admit his mistake. He was just like tonight, constantly looking at Qin Yun, but Qin Yun just ignored him and didn’t give him a response. He was like a pitiful little dog.
Cheng Hua thought of this, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Cheng Yi sighed lightly and slowly said, “I didn’t quarrel with Sister Qin, I just… just told her something.”
Cheng Hua frowned slightly. What could make the always unrestrained and enthusiastic Qin Yun become quiet and silent?
Cheng Yi got up and sat up, resting his head on his older brother’s broad shoulders. He picked up another crisp apple piece and ate it slowly, saying in a heavy tone, “Brother, will you support me?”
Cheng Hua put the plate on the coffee table, then pushed away Cheng Yi, who was leaning on him. His handsome, cold face was serious. He wouldn’t be deceived by Cheng Yi’s innocent appearance.
Cheng Hua slowly said, “You have to tell me what it is first.”
Cheng Yi casually threw the skewer into the trash can not far away, sat up straight, and said in a very calm tone, “Oh, I came out.”
Hearing this, Cheng Hua’s heart sank. He raised his eyebrows. His face, which was always called an unchanging old ice cube in the workplace, was now tightly frowned, not at all like what they thought, unmoved by anything.
Cheng Hua asked seriously, “Are you really sure?”
Cheng Yi also nodded seriously, saying, “I’m very sure.”
Cheng Hua: “That streamer?”
He still remembered what He Zhou had said in the group before.
Cheng Yi: “Yes, it’s him.”
Seeing Cheng Yi nodding to confirm, Cheng Hua took a deep breath, raised his hand to his forehead, and closed his eyes. The amount of information in this message was too great, and his brain, which was already tired from working all day, didn’t want to think anymore. He looked at the firmness in Cheng Yi’s eyes, and his originally heavy breathing slowly relaxed.
He slowly said, “As long as you’re happy.”
