V4C34 – I Want To Let You Be A Light Bulb (1/2)

“I……I want to let you be a light bulb!” Yang Mei said with a nod, “In fact, the matter is like this: This time the reason I came to N-City is, first, because of the company’s work, and second because N-City is very close to D-City. I haven’t been home for over a year now, so my Mom asked me to return home this time! I also told this to Chief Chu and he allowed me two days of vacation.”

“But what does that have to do with a blind date?” I asked.

“Of course it has relations as I am going home this time. My mom just wants me to go out with some! As I heard that was the case, I didn’t want to go back but my mom said her health wasn’t very good recently! When she was young, her leg was wounded and the wound hasn’t been fully healed still, so I promised to go back and see her.” Yang Mei said, “As I have no other means, so I can’t hide anymore, but my mother wants to introduce me to some blind date and get me a boyfriend. So I thought, if I made you pretend to be my boyfriend, then my mother will lose motivation regarding this matter!”

“So that’s how it is. But if I am pretending to be your boyfriend, will you still have to go on a blind date?” I asked somewhat puzzledly.

“Actually, the thing is, the man that my mother found for me this time, she is very satisfied with him. I heard that he is waiting for me at my house, so your job is to get rid of that man?” Yang Mei said.

“What a joke? Since your mother is already satisfied and he has already entered your house, then you mother will obviously be biased towards him and definitely choose him! Your mother certainly won’t be good to me!” I said as I shook my head.

When a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, he will appear more and more pleasing to her eye as long as she had determined him to be her son-in-law. Changing her decision isn’t an easy matter. If I butt in now, I will only be asking for my humiliation!

“How could you not have any confidence in yourself? Ah, don’t you have me? It doesn’t matter who my mother likes. As long as I said in everyone’s presence that I love you, then what can my mother do?” Yang Mei said with self-satisfaction.

“We might be able to do that once, but we can’t do that all the time. I will help you this once, but what will you do the next time? I can’t just go to your house all the time to help you break up relationships?” I smiled bitterly.

“Let’s deal with the matter at hand. As for afterward, we can think of something at that time.” Yang Mei said as she hadn’t thought much of the matter.

“We might succeed ones but how long can we hide the truth? What if your parents asked me how long we have known each other, or how we met and all that? I am afraid there might be some loopholes in the story that will get us caught. Then what will you do if that blind date dude doesn’t want to leave? He has the support of the mother-in-law, so I am afraid the person who will leave is me!” I said while curling my lips.

“Humph, I don’t like him, so what can he do even if he depended on my family! And let me tell you. After he sees I have such a great boyfriend, he will certainly go back crestfallen out of shame!” Yang Mei said.

Crestfallen? I am afraid that after he sees your beauty, he won’t want to leave anymore! Li Xiaogang was a good example.

…………………………

After 2 hours of conspiring a story on a long-distance bus, I turned into Yang Mei’s boyfriend she had known for a month. Why did we only know each other for a month? It’s because Yang Mei had called home last month and said that she didn’t have a boyfriend yet.

“Why didn’t you just tell your family you already had a boyfriend? There wouldn’t be a need to go through this hassle and we would have avoided being suspicious!” I asked.

“Why would I lie to them?” Yang Mei asked, puzzled.

“You said that we have known each other for a month, so in your parent’s eyes, our sentiments will still not be strong enough, and it was still a good time to separate us!” I said.

“Excuse me, I could only tell the truth. If I had said that I had a boyfriend before, then my mother would have asked me to immediately lead him back home so she could have a look!” Yang Mei rolled her eyes at me.

“You can just use the excuse of being too busy at work!” I said.

“I am busy doesn’t mean she is busy as well. My mother retired already and is at home all the time with nothing to do. If she heard I had a boyfriend, she would have run over there herself!” Yang Mei refuted.

No wonder! I had to nod. Although Yang Mei and I had prepared a good story already, who could say that Mother Yang won’t ask some strange question we can’t answer, so we get caught!
