Chapter 17: Didnt You Want To Date With Me? No Way! (1/2)
”It's the time for lunch, darling.”
According to Su Mo, a detestable man was the first impression on Xing Biao.
”Don't call me darling.”
”Then, dear?”
Xing Biao tried and called Su Mo dear. Su Mo waved the walking stick and punched it at Xing Biao with no word. Xing Biao rushed to the door.
”Why do you play the stick? You are not a monkey.”
”Try to call me these female words again.”
”Darling, baby?”
Su Mo trembled, for these words were more disgusting.
”So darling is better. We don't need to quarrel about what I call you. Let's have lunch. Don't punch me again, ok? I've petted you so much. You can do everything you like at home. But save face for me in front of others, ok?”
Xing Biao was aggrieved. Seeing that all the other couples who would marry soon seemed in love, but he was glanced every five minutes.
”Come here, I'll have lunch.”
Xing Biao answered soon, and held Su Mo up.
They drank beer together with dumplings.
Su Mo's dad and mom were happy that their family members including their son-in-law could gather together.
Su Mo was very hungry. He returned back due to his parents. He was travel-worn, and said nothing but focusing on food.
Northeasterners could drink a lot. Eating a dumpling, drinking some beer, glancing at Su Mo, and talking with Su Mo's dad and mom, Xing Biao seemed so happy.
Aunt Su treated Xing Biao so well that she always took foods for him.
Xing Biao stood up by holding his gla.s.s.
”Dad, mom and darling, I've thirty years old. I left from home when I was 15 years old, and I left from northeast China when I was 18 years old. I've suffered a lot. Every Spring Festival, all members of other families got together and had dumplings, but I cooked a dish of instant frozen dumplings and kept drinking beer for a whole night by myself. I did not like that feeling. However, I have dad and mom now, and I have my darling and my family. Trust me that I will treat Su Mo better than myself. I'll give him everything he wants. I'll make him happy.”
Su Mo said nothing. Staying abroad for many years, he always cooked a bag of instant frozen dumpling every Spring Festival for foreigners did not celebrate this festival. He could experience the sad and lonely feeling. He could understand Xing Biao very much.
”Biao, we trust in your conducts, and we'd like to marry Mo to you. You will treat him well, won't you?”
”Of course dad, I won't make him upset by some unkindness.”
”Darling, you'll never regret about marrying me.”
Su Mo delivered the bowl of vinegar to Xing Biao.
”Just sit down and have lunch. Stop talking.”
Xing Biao sat down and toasted to his father-in-law. Then he held the bowl of vinegar and drank it up.
