52 Who Dared To Torture Her Child? (2/2)
”Oh.” Su Yan thought about where to start but he didn't really know. He looked at his mother with an especially miserable expression. ”Well, it's not so easy to explain. We've known each other for a long time already. I always thought we were just friends but then yesterday …” Su Yan wanted to stop again but his mother's expression was too scary. He hurried to continue. ”Last week, I changed jobs. And, well, I wasn't feeling too good so we spent some time together. It was nothing much, just eating together and watching a movie. And then he suggested that we could go out to take my mind off everything and I could choose what to do. I didn't have any good idea, though. So … I said we could go learn how to cook since we both don't know how to do that and he was alright with that. He even offered to plan all the details so I just let him do whatever.”
Madam Su finally saw the light. Mn, this girl was quite good. That dense son of hers needed someone who would take the initiative or it would end like back then.
Ah, just remembering that pitiful child Nie Chang made her want to cry. It really was heartbreaking to see him looking at her son so obviously lovestruck while her son remained completely oblivious. Mn, that reminded her … she hadn't heard anything about him for a while. Did these two still keep in contact?
She eyed her son but didn't dare to ask right now. Su Yan got side-tracked too easily. She had to make sure this idiot would confess every last detail to her!
”So then it became a romantic date?”
Su Yan seemed like he wanted to nod but then he froze and just stopped moving altogether. ”I … I don't know.”
Madam Su sighed. This boy! ”What did you two do in the end? I'll tell you if it was a date or not.”
Su Yan instantly sidled closer. This was what he had hoped for. His mother would really be a Sage-type character if his life was a novel. ”Well, at first we went to Auntie Zhu's food stall. Oh, that's where we've been going to eat breakfast for most days last week. The food there is —”
”Yes, yes, yes. What happened then?”
”Uh, we went to a park and strolled around a bit. Then he took me to the workshop. Well, it wasn't really cooking, though. You know that Chocolate Academy? We went there and made chocolate. After that …” Su Yan blanked. Uh, right. What had they done after that? He scratched his head. ”I think we went to a restaurant but I'm not sure.”
”What do you mean you're not sure?” That girl couldn't have drugged him, could she?
Su Yan squirmed around. ”I … wasn't really paying attention. When we were in the workshop …” He lowered his head and blushed. How was he supposed to tell this?
”Speak!”
Su Yan covered his face with his hands. ”Ah, he gave me a heart-shaped chocolate with the words 'I' and 'you' on it. I also don't know if he likes me!”
Madam Su looked at her embarrassed son and seriously pondered which side of the family was to be held accountable for getting a child with such low EQ. How much more direct did her future daughter-in-law need to get to have her dense son shed even the last bit of doubt?
