Chapter 46 (2/2)

“Yes, yes. Just a moment please. I’ll open the door right away.”

Sun Lan hurriedly pulled off her blanket. She put on a coat and her slippers, walking into the living room.

Outside the door, Huang Tielan stuck out her tongue. -So close! I almost said Zhang Xiaoche by mistake.-

The worn door was pulled open. Sun Lan saw a large figure appear before her that nearly blocked off all the light from outside.

Right in front of her at eye level were two mounds of considerable size. Even with a loose T-shirt on, one could see the obvious outline.

Sun Lan was taken aback. She took two steps back and raised her head. She saw a chubby face around the height of the door frame.

“Hello Auntie. I am Zhang… Zhang Che’s classmate. I’m here to visit you as he asked.”

-Oh my, whose daughter is this? How was she raised into this? It’s ok, it’s ok. Xiaoche would probably not find such a girlfriend.-

Sun Lan recovered a little from her shock. She hurriedly stepped to the side and welcomed with a smile, “Ah, you’re Xiaoche’s classmate? Come in, come in!”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Huang Tielan entered the house, carrying a few boxes and bags. One look was enough to know they were tonics.

“Aiya, look at you. Why bother to bring anything here?”

“It’s fine, Auntie. I took them from my house. It’s just a little token. Please accept them.”

Since Huang Tielan put it like it, it wasn’t nice for Sun Lan to reject, either. She hurriedly invited Huang Tielan in to the living room and sat her down, looking at her with a curious gaze as she thought, -Something’s not quite right. With how introverted Xiaoche normally is, even if he asked a classmate to visit me, he would have asked a male classmate. Why would he ask such a… girl, here?-

Being looked at by Sun Lan, Huang Tielan’s face suddenly flushed. She sat there uneasily, regretting her impulsive decision.

“Aiya, just look at me. I forgot to bring you some water.”

Sun Lan was unsure of the relationship between her son and this girl before her, and thus didn’t know how to start a conversation with her. As such, she could only stand up to fetch some water, relieving some of the awkwardness between them.

Huang Tielan hurriedly jumped up, stopping Sun Lan. “No, it’s fine, Auntie. I’m not thirsty!”

It was her first time here. How could she let Zhang Xiaoche’s mother bring her water?

Sun Lan insisted on doing so, however. When Huang Tielan was hiding her awkwardness with the drinking, Sun Lan asked inconspicuously, “Right, did our Xiaoche ask you to tell me anything?”

Huang Tielan was drinking her water nervously. After hearing the sudden question, she forgot to think before blurting out, “Oh, Zhang Che said to let you recuperate in peace and not to worry about him. He’ll look after himself. Also, regarding the matter about the healing-type beast, not only will he try his best to look for one, I’ll also ask my fath…”

Speaking up until here, Huang Tielan finally realized that her words were a little improper and hurriedly stopped.

Hearing this, Sun Lan couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock, her inner heart rumbling with thunder.

-Not good, Xiaoche that child even told this miss about my illness, and asked her family to help look for a healing-type beast?

-Is this still a platonic relationship between classmates?-

-It can’t be, it can’t be. My son’s tastes can’t be this unique!-
