52 Who Dared To Torture Her Child? (1/2)

When Su Yan woke up the next morning, he had a vague feeling of dread. It seemed something was wrong with him. It wasn't a problem in case Nie Chang really loved him but if he had gotten it all wrong, then this was a disaster!

He hurriedly washed up and dashed to his parents' home. He needed to make sure with his mother as soon as possible! He couldn't go on living like this!

If Su Yan knew that his poor friend Nie Chang had had to live with this uncertainty for several years and hadn't experienced a nervous breakdown while he only had to cope with it for a single day and already couldn't hold on anymore he would probably have a mighty guilty conscience.

As soon as his mother opened the door, Su Yan plunged into her arms with tears in his eyes. ”Mom!”

Madam Su heard alarm bells ringing in her head. The sound was followed by an intense feeling of rage. She dragged her son inside and shut the door with a bang. ”Who dared to bully my baby?!” She hugged her precious son and caressed his back. ”Tell your mother! I'll send someone to beat him up!”

Su Yan's face was covered in black lines. This was a little too much, alright? ”No one bullied me, mom.” He let go of her but his expression clearly didn't seem happy to Madam Su. She was sure something must be going on!

”Come on in then, tell your mom everything!” She pulled him into the living room and sat down with him, holding onto his hands while she studied his face. He looked like he hadn't slept much last night. Ah, her heart was really hurting right now! Who had dared to torture her poor child so?

Su Yan pursed his lips as soon as he sat down next to her. ”Mom … How do I know if a person likes me or not?” He blinked his eyes that were still a bit teary.

Madam Su couldn't help but reach over and pinch his cheeks. Ah, her son was just too adorable! Mn, wait! This question … Did this mean she was about to get a daughter-in-law?! No way! Which girl could be good enough for her son? ”Who is she?!”

Su Yan shriveled at his mother's forceful tone. Oh god! He didn't want to bring trouble to Nie Chang! He only wanted to make sure if he had gotten it right and Nie Chang really liked him!

”Mom! Don't be like this! I'm just here to get some advice. I … I don't know whether that person likes me or not.” He looked down and absentmindedly played with the buttons on his shirt.

Madam Su pursed her lips just like her son. ”What do you mean you don't know? That girl would need to have a hole in her brain to not fall for my son!”

Su Yan sighed and ignored the fact that his mother just assumed the person to be a girl. Well, two days ago he would have done the same and his mother was a respectable lady. Naturally, she wouldn't know about those things either! He also glossed quite naturally over the fact how biased his mother was. Well, this was probably to be expected even more so. ”It's not so easy. He's great himself.”

”Aiya, stop worrying. Just tell me everything.”

Su Yan looked up and pouted. ”We went out together. Yesterday.”

Madam Su felt like slapping her son. ”What's with this kind of telling a story! Start from the beginning and don't stop after every sentence. You'll be the death of me.”
