Tang Tianbao couldn't bear to have Yu Meng click back at this time. He decided to let Yu Meng stay at his house for the night. He would wake her up early tomorrow morning and tell her to leave.
”There's something I have to tell you,” said Tang Tianbao as he helped Yu Meng up the stairs. ”My mom is here. First, you stay in my room, while I sleep on the floor. Second, don't speak up so as not to wake my mom up.”
Yu Meng became excited. ”When did Auntie come?” I didn't prepare any presents. Isn't it inappropriate to be empty-handed like this? ”
”Aiya, let's go. What's inappropriate about this?” Where can I buy a present if I asked for this? Besides, my mom is definitely asleep. You just need to go in quietly. Didn't she leave early the next morning? My mom wouldn't know you were here. ” Tang Tianbao said.
”Alright then, I'll listen to you.”
The two walked side by side to the door as Tang Tianbao made a ”shh” gesture towards Yu Meng. Tang Tian Bao took out the key to open the anti-theft door. The moment the door opened, Yu Meng screamed, ”Ah!”
A woman was standing in the doorway in her pajamas, her hair in disarray.
With the help of the sound control light in the corridor, Tang Tianbao recognized that the person standing at the doorway was none other than his mother, Duan Hong.
”Mom, you scared me to death … ”Why aren't you sleeping here?” Tang Tianbao patted his chest.
”What time is it? What did you do? ” Duan Hong asked with a serious expression, ”Who is this woman?”
”Oh, Mom, let me introduce you. This is our town's Yu Meng. We are junior high school classmates.” Tang Tianbao pointed at Yu Meng and said, ”This is my mother.”
Yu Meng adjusted her breathing and politely said, ”Hello, Auntie. Little Treasure and I are classmates. ”
”Play so late?” Don't you have to work tomorrow? ” Duan Hong asked.
”Oh, Mom. It's like this. Yu Meng's ankle was twisted. I accompanied her to the hospital …” Tang Tianbao explained.
”Did you drink?” Duan Hong smelled the pungent smell of alcohol.
”Auntie, don't misunderstand, I was drinking. Little Treasure didn't.” Yu Meng explained.
”Then hurry into the house. Don't stand in the doorway. ” Duan Hong turned around and walked towards his bedroom. At the moment he turned around, he felt a burst of bitterness in his nose. He knew that his son had long since reached the age where he should get married. However, when Tang Tianbao brought the woman home, she felt a strange uneasiness in her heart, as from today onwards, there would be a woman who would take over his position and take care of him. Just thinking about it caused her to feel a sense of loss. Duan Hong knew that her thoughts were extremely selfish. However, she was unable to control her thoughts. Tang Da Kui had just left and her son, Tang Tian Bao, was about to live with another woman.
”Mom, rest early.” Tang Tianbao shouted at Duan Hong's back.
Duan Hong didn't say anything. He walked to the back of the bedroom and closed the door.
Yu Meng could naturally feel that Tang Tianbao's mother didn't like the sudden arrival of her unexpected guest. She tentatively asked Tang Tianbao, ”Xiaobao, is it a bit rash for me to come to your house like this?” ”I feel like auntie doesn't like me …”
”Aiya, you think too much. My mom isn't that kind of person. She's been in a bad mood lately, so don't take it to heart. Alright, you sleep on the bed while I sleep on the floor. It's getting late, you should get some rest. ”
”Little Treasure, you have been wronged. ”Thank you.” Yu Meng said embarrassedly.
”Nothing, just rest.” I turned off the lights. ”
Yu Meng did not sleep that night. Her ankle was still aching, but she did not dare to call out to Tang Tianbao. She could only grit her teeth and endure the intense pain from his bones. Tang Tianbao had already fallen asleep. The entire room was so quiet that only the ticking of the clock on the wall and the sound of Tang Tianbao's breathing could be heard.
Yu Meng tossed and turned in her bed, unable to fall asleep. She took out her phone and looked at the time. Another hour had passed, and the sky would soon brighten. She did her best to close her eyes, but she couldn't find sleep. Her mind was full of random things. She didn't want to think about them, but she couldn't help thinking about them …
Since the east was white, the window outside the window was starting to get a little gray and a little bright. Yu Meng turned over, not knowing when she fell asleep.
When Tang Tianbao woke up, Yu Meng was sprawled on the double bed, softly snoring. Her feet were exposed and her wrists were swollen and red. Tang Tianbao got up, put on his clothes, and looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock and he normally would get up at this time to wash up before going to work.
Tang Tianbao walked into the washroom. After taking a moment to relax, he began to wash his face and rinse his mouth. Usually, he would be naked when he was alone. He walked back and forth inside the house, but his mother and Yu Meng were both here, so he had put on his underpants today. After washing up, he suddenly smelled a fragrance wafting out from the kitchen.
Tang Tian Bao walked to the kitchen door and took a look, ”Mom, did you make breakfast? I don't usually eat at home, so I don't have time. ”
”Eat some before you go. I made it for you and the girl. ” Duan Hong placed the boiled congee and fried eggs onto the table.
”Okay, Mom. I'll just drink a bowl of porridge. Eat the eggs yourself. ” As Tang Tianbao spoke, he picked up the bowl of congee and blew on it a few times. However, it was still a bit hot. After taking a sip, he felt as if his tongue had been scalded.
”Where's the girl? Are you up yet? ” Duan Hong asked.
”Oh, she's not up yet. ”We're in the same unit. I'll take a leave of absence and let her sleep a little longer. Her ankle was sprained, and she was badly swollen.” Tang Tianbao packed his bag, changed into his shoes, and said to Duan Hong, ”Mom, I'm leaving.” I'll come back early to see you. ”
