The man’s deep voice resonated through the phone, hitting his eardrums.
Su Yu trembled, feeling like his ears were practically pregnant.
For a moment, he could only stammer, unable to speak.
Qin Shou, on the other end of the line, laughed even more heartily, lowering his voice to ask, “Sweetheart, missed me?”
Boomsakalaka.
Su Yu’s face was about to explode from blushing.
As a beginner at making friends (emphasis added), Su Yu was incredibly timid.
With just one suggestive line, he became incoherent.
Qin Shou completely held the initiative.
Seemingly aware of the destructive power of his voice, the calculating man continued to bombard poor Su Yu with his deep voice.
“Come to my place tomorrow? I really miss you.”
“Okay, okay,” Su Yu shyly added in his heart, I miss you too.
But unfortunately, CEO Qin couldn’t read minds.
The two of them lingered on the phone, chatting sweetly.
The scheming Qin began to subtly inquire about Su Yu’s performance in front of the Luo family.
“When I went to your place the other day, your family wasn’t unhappy, were they?”
The naive Su Yu quickly reassured his good friend, “No, they all really like you. They think… you’re very good.”
Remembering his maternal uncle’s words, Su Yu’s voice grew softer and softer, guilty.
“That’s good. I was worried… your family wouldn’t like me.”
Qin Shou deliberately elongated his tone, feigning a worried expression.
Su Yu immediately took the bait, racking his brains to confess, “How could they? You’re so good, my uncle even said you’re very capable, and your personality is great…”
The key point being: you’re super handsome!
A 1.9-meter hunk, super safe and secure.
The above was the heartfelt thought from appearance-obsessed Su Yu.
“Heh heh,” Qin Shou chuckled, his tone doting, “No one is as good as you. Being able to meet you, I… am very happy.”
“I’m happy too,” Su Yu quickly replied.
So, the two continued to compliment each other on the phone, a silly grin on their faces.
The scene was truly unbearable to watch.
A rank scent of love permeated the air.
Single dog critical hit +10000.
***
After their sweet phone call, they realized nearly two hours had passed.
Su Yu smacked his lips, the smile still on his face.
He felt very unfulfilled and wanted another round.
Having agreed to go to Qin Shou’s house tomorrow, Su Yu sprang up like a carp and started pacing around the room.
His hair seemed a bit long and needed a trim.
His skin had been a bit dry lately and didn’t feel very good; he needed to apply more lotion tonight.
There weren’t many clothes in his closet, mostly baggy sportswear…
Su Yu fussed around the house for a long time, finally deciding he had to go shopping!
He reluctantly found his mother, Luo Xiaoman, and stammered out his idea of going out to buy some new clothes.
Luo Xiaoman looked at her son, whose face showed a hint of guilt, suspiciously.
“Why do you suddenly want to buy clothes? Don’t you hate shopping the most?”
Su Yu’s gaze darted around.
“It’s just… it’s just that my current clothes don’t seem to fit anymore.”
A little lightbulb went off in his head.
Su Yu quickly found a suitable excuse for his abnormal behavior.
It’s perfectly normal to wake up after sleeping for a few months and find your old clothes don’t fit anymore! ~(≧v≦)/~
Luo Xiaoman was half-convinced, but her son’s request still had to be granted, so she readily agreed.
“Then I’ll go now!”
Su Yu, whose little scheme had been satisfied, eagerly linked arms with his mother and pulled her towards the door.
Luo Xiaoman helplessly followed her son, “He really is all talk and no action.”
Su Yu giggled.
So, the mother and son went shopping.
Su Yu’s body had been sleeping at home for several months, making him look somewhat sickly thin.
His hair had also grown quite long, the shiny black strands almost covering his eyes.
Luo Xiaoman first took her son to their usual barbershop to get a haircut.
The excessively long black hair was trimmed, revealing his full forehead, which made his already small face appear even smaller.
His two eyes were bright and spirited, and he had two small dimples when he smiled.
He looked like an utterly charming young man.
Luo Xiaoman looked at her son’s new hairstyle with satisfaction, affectionately tousling his hair a few times, then took him to the mall.
Mother and son shopped until dark before returning home, both very content.
She just didn’t know how Luo Xiaoman would feel the next day when she found out her son dressed up so handsomely to go see a “wild man.”
***
The next day, Su Yu woke up early.
After washing up, he changed into the new clothes he had bought the day before.
Su Yu looked at himself in the mirror repeatedly, very satisfied with his new look.
Finally, he cunningly dabbed on a tiny bit of perfume.
Satisfied, he sniffed the faint scent on himself, gave himself a thumbs-up in the mirror, and swaggered out the door.
Then, he was stopped by his mother right at the entrance.
He felt extremely wronged.
“Where are you going?”
Luo Xiaoman looked her son up and down, heartbroken.
She never expected her foolish son to “sell himself out” so quickly.
Su Yu put his hands behind his back, secretly fiddling with his fingers, a fawning smile on his face, “Going out to see a friend.”
Luo Xiaoman unceremoniously exposed her son’s little ploy, “See a friend? You’re going to see Qin Shou, aren’t you?”
Su Yu’s fair cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded shyly, his big eyes blinking expectantly at his mother.
He resorts to acting cute at the drop of a hat.
Defeated by her son’s adorable gaze, Luo Xiaoman sighed.
She held her son’s hand and earnestly instructed him, “Let Zhao Yong drive you. Be careful and make sure you come back tonight!”
The last sentence was spoken with a very strict tone!
Su Yu nodded obediently, and after getting his mother’s permission, he eagerly ran out the door.
His small back view was full of cheer.
This feeling of marrying off a daughter.
Once outside, Zhao Yong was clearly not needed.
Outside the closed gate, a black SUV was parked.
It was Qin Shou’s car.
Su Yu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the gate and ran towards the car.
Qin Shou heard a knock on the car window and turned his head in confusion, only to see Su Yu’s brilliant smile.
He couldn’t help but break into a wide grin himself.
“Why are you up so early?”
Qin Shou got out of the car and gave Su Yu a big hug.
Su Yu’s face was flushed, and his dark eyes were moist.
“When did you get here? Why didn’t you come in?”
Qin Shou smiled without answering.
He was too excited to sleep, so he simply came early to wait outside his beloved’s door.
How could he let Su Yu know about such a foolish thing?
“I wanted to give you a surprise.”
Su Yu’s heart pounded.
He couldn’t help but hug Qin Shou tightly, taking the opportunity to nuzzle against his chest a few more times.
“Thank you, but don’t wait outside alone next time.”
“Hmm.”
Qin Shou responded, dotingly rubbing Su Yu’s head.
As if just noticing Su Yu’s change, he asked in surprise, “You seem a little different today.”
Su Yu rubbed his nose shyly.
He had gotten a haircut yesterday.
“Very cute,” Qin Shou lowered his head, his lips just by Su Yu’s ear, his steady baritone full of temptation, “I like it very much.”
Su Yu’s ears itched terribly, and it felt like a little deer was frantically scrambling inside his heart.
He reflexively reached up to cover his ears, his face so red it looked like it was bleeding.
Not wanting to tease him too much, Qin Shou stopped.
He dropped his smile and said seriously, “I won’t tease you anymore. First, let’s go say hello to your family, then I’ll take you out to play.”
… Oh.
Carrying the pre-prepared gifts, Qin Shou took Su Yu’s wrist and walked towards the main house.
Su Yu was still a bit pouting.
Why didn’t he continue talking?!
In the living room, Luo Xiaoman was idly sipping her soup.
Her two brothers weren’t there, and her son had run off early in the morning.
She was left alone, eating breakfast as lonely as snow.
***
Before Luo Xiaoman could even be happy to see her son return, she spotted the tall figure next to him, a complete eyesore.
Luo Xiaoman, pretending not to know, asked, “Mr. Qin, what brings you here so early?”
Qin Shou, with a face like a spring breeze, ingratiatingly called out, “Hello, Auntie,” and made himself right at home by placing the gifts he brought on the table.
“I came to pick up A-Yu. We planned to go out together today.”
Luo Xiaoman felt a pang in her liver from his words.
Why would my son go out with you?
You clearly have ulterior motives, like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken.
However, she still smiled and said, “Then you two be careful.”
She then specifically turned to remind Su Yu, “Come back early tonight. I asked Auntie to make your favorite pork stew with vermicelli.”
“Okay!”
Su Yu agreed very readily.
Qin Shou’s smile stiffened, and his mouth twitched.
He then smiled and bid farewell to Luo Xiaoman, “Then, Auntie, we’ll be going now. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring him back safely tonight.”
Luo Xiaoman accepted with a smiling face, secretly giving him a challenging look.
You want to snatch my son?
No way!
Qin Shou rubbed his nose, then “carried” the happily chattering Su Yu back home.
