call me kid

"Mom?!" Lin Ran followed Shi Yige subconsciously and repeated in a low voice, and instantly became a little nervous. He didn't know whether to let go of Shi Yige's hand or keep it in this position.

Shi Yige probably felt the sweat seeping out of Lin Ran's palm, and he held Lin Ran's hand slightly tighter, comforting her not to be nervous.

When they communicated with each other, Yan Qiu had already stood still in front of them, Lin Ran was still holding the handle of the glass door foolishly because of nervousness, and maintained the appearance of helping someone to open the door.

"This is?" Yan Qiu's eyes lingered on the two of them, and after wandering for a few times, they paused for a moment on their clasped hands. Thinking of the "girlfriend" Shi Yige said during the Chinese New Year, Yan Qiu's heart was already bright. , Thinking about it, he also looked at Lin Ran carefully.

"Hi auntie, I'm Lin Ran, and I'm Yige's friend." Lin Ran thought about his choice of words, before telling his parents, it's better to talk about friends first, to comfort himself in his heart, isn't it just to meet his parents, and he hasn't seen any big storms.

As soon as the words finished, Shi Yige looked sideways at Lin Ran and smiled, then picked up Lin Ran's words, "Mom, let me introduce you formally. This is my girlfriend Lin Ran."

"Yes, Auntie, I'm Yige's...?!" Lin Ran originally had a polite and enthusiastic smile on his face, and he was completely habitually following Shi Yige's words during nervous moments, but he was about to say "" When the words "girlfriend" came to him, his face suddenly turned pale with shock, and he realized what Shi Yige was talking about.

This... is this coming out with your parents?Or is it the moment when you meet your parents for the first time?I didn't prepare anything for myself!

Lin Ran looked down at himself in casual casual attire, holding Shi Yige's hand with one hand and the door handle with the other stupidly. He didn't even prepare a gift, so he came out to Shi Yige's mother with this appearance ?

Finished!

Lin Ran glanced at Shi Yige in a panic, and then at Yan Qiu secretly, but found that the two just looked at each other and smiled, and didn't say anything. The quiet atmosphere instantly became a little weird.

What's the situation?Auntie felt that it was inconvenient to get angry in public, so she covered it up with a smile?But it doesn't look like it. Teacher Shi is also smiling so easily?

Lin Ran was stunned by this scene, and the drums in her heart kept beating. After trying to stabilize her emotions, her brain stood up to take charge of the overall situation after a while. She said softly, "Auntie Are you here for dinner too? Shall we go in and talk?"

It's not very polite to always let the elders stand at the door. No matter what the situation is, please go in and sit down. Anyway, coming out of the closet is something they have to face sooner or later. They can't escape. Lin Ran also wants this relationship It is able to receive the blessings of both parents in an open and dignified manner.

All in all, in a word, she doesn't want to make Shi Yige feel wronged, heterosexual marriages should have something, they should have it too, it's the 21st century, what's so special about it?

"Okay." Yan Qiu looked at Lin Ran meaningfully, and walked inside.

In fact, Yan Qiu was a little relieved. She didn't know that Shi Yige didn't tell Lin Ran that she and Lao Shi already knew about it, but from Lin Ran's reaction, she quickly saw that Lin Ran didn't know about it. It was a sudden encounter but Lin Ran quickly stabilized after a brief panic.

It may be due to professional reasons, Yan Qiu subconsciously felt that the person who would let him feel at ease to hand over his daughter to her should at least have the characteristics of being unruffled and adaptable in times of crisis.

In other words, when facing Yan Qiu, the other party's attitude is also from the side to see whether this person is ready to go on with Shi Yige's determination, whether he treats Shi Yige sincerely, after all, their future road is too difficult If the two sides do not support each other and disagree, it will be difficult to go on.

Lin Ran and Shi Yige followed Yan Qiu, Shi Yige leaned into Lin Ran's ear and comforted her softly, "Don't be nervous."

Lin Ran nodded, "Okay."

The three walked to a seat by the window, Lin Ran sat down next to Shi Yige, Yan Qiu sat on the opposite side of Shi Yige, Lin Ran invited a waiter and the three of them ordered the meal, Shi Yige spoke first.

"Mom, are you here on a business trip?" Yan Qiu appeared here at this time without Lao Shi accompanying him, and Shi Yige reckoned that they were all here on a business trip.

"Well, after I finished my work, I found that there are more people here looking around to see what to eat. I didn't expect to meet you." When Yan Qiu mentioned you, his eyes swept over Lin Ran.

"We were invited to watch the show. We finished work yesterday and said we were going out for a stroll today." Shi Yige said with a smile.

"En." Yan Qiu replied without saying anything.

During the meal, Lin Ran listened to Shi Yige and Yan Qiu's chatting, would join in and chat with each other from time to time, with a smile on his face all the time, but he was still a little nervous, fortunately, Yan Qiu didn't talk too much about the two of them .

After eating, they chatted for a while, until Lin Ran watched Yan Qiu raised his wrist and looked down at the time. Lin Ran got up and went to pay the bill first. Originally, Yan Qiu was the one who paid the bill, after all, she was an elder. But it's impossible for Lin Ran to let his future mother-in-law pay for the first time they meet.

Shi Yige got up and went to the bathroom. When Lin Ran came back, there were only her and Yan Qiu left. Lin Ran looked at Yan Qiu and smiled again. His brain was racing and thinking about what to say. He waited for Shi Yige to come back, holding back for a long time. Say, "Auntie, do you have anything else to do this afternoon? How about we go shopping with you?"

"No, when it's time for you young people to date, let's go on a good date. I don't want to be a light bulb." Yan Qiu said, taking a sip of coffee and putting it down gently, looking at Lin Ran with a smile in his eyes, his tone Relaxed and casual, like when facing family members.

"Ah... no, no, it's my honor to go shopping with my aunt." Lin Ran rubbed her hands under the table a little awkwardly.

"How old are you Xiaolin?" Yan Qiu pursed his lips and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, I am 23 now, and my birthday will be 24 in a few days." Lin Ran said politely.

"Well, the difference is five years old, okay." Yan Qiu nodded slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Ran, and said slowly, "Treat Yi Ge well, I believe her vision."

Lin Ran didn't expect Yan Qiu to say that, he was still a little dazed all of a sudden, but quickly nodded heavily, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will treat Yige well, pet her, love her and take care of her. Walk with her."

Yan Qiu looked at the seriousness in Lin Ran's eyes, felt the firmness in her tone, and said nothing, since the child has grown up, it's time to let go.

"What were you talking about while I was away?"

Not long after Lin Ran finished speaking, Shi Yige came back from the bathroom and stood by the table, breaking the somewhat serious atmosphere with a soft sentence.

"No, I'm inviting auntie to go shopping with us." Lin Ran smiled.

"Mom, do you want to go together?" Shi Yige listened and looked sideways at Yan Qiu.

"No, I have other work in the afternoon, you go." Yan Qiu stood up as he said, Shi Yige took Yan Qiu's hand, "Busy people, when will you retire, I will take you and me Dad going out to play?"

Lin Ran also got up and helped Shi Yige follow them with the bag.

"You, aren't you a busy person too? It's better to rely on me and your dad to go out and play by ourselves." Yan Qiu smiled helplessly and punctured Shi Yige's thoughts.

With that said, the three of them walked to the side of the road, Lin Ran raised his hand to help hail a taxi, fortunately there were not many people on this street after dinner time, so a taxi came soon, Lin Ran helped Yan Qiu open the rear door , blocking the top of the car door with one hand to send Yan Qiu into the car.

Before getting into the car, Yan Qiu stopped chatting with Shi Yige, turned his head to look at Lin Ran, and smiled as if the elders looked at the younger generation with relief, "Xiao Lin, come to my house for the Spring Festival next year if you have time."

Lin Ran's eyes widened a little, and he quickly responded, "Okay, thank you, auntie, I will definitely come to celebrate the New Year with you and uncle next year." After speaking, he continued, "Auntie and Yige will rest and accompany you and uncle to go out to play together. ah."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, wish you a happy date?" Yan Qiu joked and got into the car, told the driver the destination, and the car drove away quickly.

Lin Ran looked at the direction of the taxi driving away, his face was still a little hot because of Yan Qiu's teasing, but soon his mind was filled with excitement and excitement, and when he turned around, he wanted to hug Shi Yige, but he still held Shi Yige in his hand. When she didn't reach over, there was a sudden cold on her ears, and the other party gently pinched her ears.

"Why didn't you come to celebrate the New Year with me?" Shi Yige lowered his voice and asked pretendingly serious.

"Ah?" Lin Ran was obviously still immersed in the invitation from the future mother-in-law, and didn't react.

"You just told my mother that you will definitely come to celebrate the New Year with them next year, but you didn't come to celebrate the New Year with me on purpose?" Shi Yige pinched the fingertips of Lin Ran's ear slightly while speaking, in order to match what he said.

"That's not because of you, and I won't go home to spend the New Year with the two elders." Lin Ran hugged Shi Yige's waist, and said with some joy, "Senior, does the future mother-in-law agree to us being together? "

Shi Yige chuckled lightly, and said dotingly: "What do you mean, I have invited you to my house for the New Year."

"Hey, are you excited, let me confirm again, senior, how long have you told your family about us?" Although Shi Yige didn't tell her, Lin Ran guessed that it was Shi Yige and Yan Qiu's attitude after the meal. The family confessed the matter between them, otherwise it would not have been so easy.

"Well, it was during the last Chinese New Year." Shi Yige recalled the scene of talking about this with his parents during the Chinese New Year, so Lao Shi didn't say anything. He has been teaching abroad for so many years, and he has seen many similar groups in the school. , but what she didn't expect was that Yan Qiu agreed so easily at that time.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Ran interrupted Shi Yige's thoughts and brought her back to reality.

Shi Yige smiled, "No, I'm looking forward to celebrating the New Year with us."
