“Ugh…” Lu Shui Han also startled and then he was stepping back one step, turned his head left and right, looking at his surrounding. He didn’t do a mistake. He stood in front of his house, but why this person coming out from his house?

“Xiao Yin! Who is coming?” It was a familiar voice which coming from inside the house.

A girl who called as Xiao Yin was blinking her eyes and then suddenly she was smiling to Lu Shui Han, showing her neat shinning white teeth. She exclaimed: “I know! You are Professor Ou’s son, aren’t you?” Without waiting for Lu Shui Han to response, the girl has already turned and then called out: “Professor Ou, your son and his girlfriend are here!”

“What?” It was kind of astonishing woman’s voice heard. Didn’t know whether because she heard her son came home or because she heard that her son came home by bringing his girlfriend therefore she her excitement sound. Ye Xin Mo tilted her head to side, then she saw there was a middle aged woman who dressed very simple and yet looked so elegant wearing an apron and also her hand was holding a spatula on her hand was coming out from the kitchen and walking closer to them.

“Aiya, the person is really Xiao Han, you little rascal finally remember to go home!” Said Mother Lu when she saw her son. And then after that she turned her eyesight to see Ye Xin Mo, with her funny facial expression and also her mouth gesture, she signaling her son about the woman who standing beside her son.

En, good eyesight, unfortunately she looked to good to stand side by side with her son. Mother Lu was secretly murmured inside her heart while her eyes still locked on Ye Xin Mo. But, immediately she showed her smiling eyes, said: “Son, this is…”

“Mom, she is called Xiao Mo.” Lu Shui Han straightforwardly introduced Ye Xin Mo to his mom and then he turned to look at Ye Xin Mo, blinking his eyes in instant, hinting her.

Ye Xin Mo seemed to get the message that Lu Shui Han sent her, she politely greeting Mother Lu: “Hello Auntie.”

Her voice was clear but sounded bit cold as well fragile. At one glanced one must have known that she is type of cold person, not really passionate. Therefore, Mother Lu thought, does her son really have confidence to ‘capture’ her? Unbelievable there was no change in Mother Lu’s facial expression when she was thinking about it. Still with her smiling face, she said: “Good, good. Come, Xiao Mo, come in.”

When everyone sat down, Mother Lu suddenly remembered she was cooking inside the kitchen before, therefore after she spoke few words such as asking her son to take care the guests, quickly she rushing back to the kitchen and then moved back and forth with foods.

The girl that called Xiao Yin didn’t shy with strangers, she even acted so overly friendly. In Lu’s family, she seemed extremely familiar with. When Mother Lu was still busying with her cooking, she was standing up, taking beverage as well serving plate of fruits for Lu Shui Han and Ye Xin Mo as if she was the owner of the house while both of them were the quests who made a visit.

“Hello! My name is Yao Yin. I am professor Ou’s student. Since today is a holiday, I took this chance to come here to make a visit as well to hand over my paper. Just now, I thought it was uncle Lu who coming home!” Yao Yin said, she was trying to explain regarding to her surprised action before. At the same time she was introducing herself.

“Xiao Han, Xiao Yin’s house is little bit far from S city. So that, I got an idea to ask Xiao Yin came to ours house to accompany me and your father. At least both of us, the elders have someone to chat with. Xiao Yin is a good girl. If you have time, you should accompany as well help her too.” It was Mother Lu’s voice which heard from kitchen along with thin smoke.

Lu Shui Han narrowed his eyes and then with hurry speaking tone, he talked louder so his mother could hear him too: “I know mom.”

Turned his head, he looked at Ye Xin Mo who seemed to be immersing into her own deep thought, stretching out his hand and then he pinched her softly on her chin. By this way, Ye Xin Mo immediately regained herself and staring at him with her confused expression. Not long after that, Lu Shui Han drawn back his eyesight, his eyes watching on Yao Yin who was still cutting fruit for Ye Xin Mo and him as if both of them were the guests. He frowned not really happy.

Of course Lu Shui Han knew what was his mother have been thinking. Perhaps, actually today his mother was planning to set a blind date with this girl who sitting in front of him. Mother Lu might think to let him meeting this girl and then expecting to have natural progress happened between him and this Yao Yin…..

It was only he has brought Ye Xin Mo coming home with him.

As for the girl, Yao Yin, she was acting as if someone who didn’t know anything. After she done peeling the apple, she smile while gave the apple to Ye Xin Mo. Blinking her eyes few times, finally Ye Xin Mo took the apple while gently said: “Thank you.”

Seeing Yao Yin would like to cut the second apple, quickly Lu Shui Han stopped her by saying: “No need. Thank you, Xiao Yin.”

Ye Xin Mo too a small bite of the apple which she gotten from Xiao Yin before but soon she pouted her mouth. In her eyes, Yao Yin is type of a overly friendly person, super easily to get familiar with strangers.

Yao Yin slightly astounded, but she didn’t persistent, seeing two people not really like to speak, then she also kept silent. Just at the time three of them were staring at the table surface, staring at palms, munching the apple, the door bell rang. Hurried Yao Yin rushed to open the door, the person who came in by chance was Lu Shui Han’s father.

Father Lu greeted Yao Yin, and then when he walking in he spotted his son, smile until his eyes made a line: “Xiao Han, you are home!”

“En, Father.” Lu Shui Han answered, naturally he didn’t need to introduce once more his ‘girlfriend’ to his father, after two of them nodding their head, Mother Han has come out from kitchen and called out: “Let’s have meal!”

Yao Yin quickly said: “Professor, Uncle Lu, you are having family gathering, then I take my leave first, haha!”

Two elders were hurrying asked her to stay, but Yao Yin persistence, Mother Lu also not force her and let her to go back.

When they were having meal, Father Lu and Lu Shui Han have kind of chat, “How’s recently.” “Quite good.” “How’s work.” “Not bad.” These kind of conversation, while two women were eating with down head. Until Lu Shui Han realized that the person beside him has gotten ignored, then hurried he added dishes with his chopstick on her bowl. “Eat more, see you are so skinny.”

Two elders of Lu were exchanging their glances. Then they looked at their son who seemed as if he has changed for bit.

Ye Xin Mo with her redden face, after all she was still at stranger house, also a stranger man who treated her such close, at moment she couldn’t adapt with this reality. “Thank you.”

After she said, Lu Shui Han glared at her, Ye Xin Mo realized that she might slip of tongue, hurried she down her head and not cared with her image. The Lu’s elders for once again were exchanging their glances, doomed, it seemed this daughter in law expectation wouldn’t be big.

Whose girlfriend would say thank you to her boyfriend? It was so obvious this girl hasn’t thought and put their son in her heart.

Mother Lu sighed, son, your future is so worrying ah!!

“Where are you coming from Xiao Mo?” As seen the atmosphere was bit depressed, Mother Lu was pretending to act cheerful.

“Ugh… C city.”

“C city?” Mother Lu bulged eyes, so far. “Are you working at here?”

Ye Xin Mo tried hard to think, it could be say so? Thus she nodding her head. “En.”

Such straightforward answer, Mother Lu didn’t have any passion to keep on asking anymore, pair of eyes rolled, then continuing to have her meal. Lu Shui Han felt distressed! He has known that Ye Xin Mo is someone who has kind of cold personality, but her coldness just too extraordinary, okay? She just alike person who doesn’t have any warmness. But, he still pretending to be such passionate when adding dishes to Ye Xin Mo’s bowl, in order to get rid his parent suspicion.

A slowly meal time finally could be pulled through by Lu Shui Han with the best effort of him, after meal, Mother Lu cleaned the table, Father Lu pulled Lu Shui Han to have a seat, and immediately he arranged his chessboard. Lu Shui Han felt to cry without tears when looking at the composed ‘girlfriend’ who sat beside him, he heaved a sigh, then he sat down. There was no way, who asked that his father has this kind of hobby, since he was small after they have meal, he would pull him to play this. But now was such crucial moment, Lu Shui Han really wanted to take time to teach Ye Xin Mo how to go through this one day without loophole, but he just didn’t have any chance to do it.

These two people were in battle pose, Ye Xin Mo knew this was these two men’s world, she biting her lips, thinking and thinking, as someone’s girlfriend who coming for her first time, what should she do? Uh, shouldn’t she move, go and help boyfriend’s mother to do something?

Although Ye Xin Mo never had this kind of experience, but after all she isn’t dummy, at the time when these pair of father and son kept on attacking each other, she didn’t go to disturb them, thus after she hesitated for while, she suddenly has been walking to kitchen. Mother Lu was cleaning the remaining leftover food in the plates, and there were still few messing leaves that left. Also the plates after meal were still mess in sink.

“Auntie, I will help you!”

A clear cold voice has cut off Mother Lu who was sighing because of worrying her son, she raised her head, and then looked at the thin girl who saw her with slightly shy expression. A pair of clear bright eyes was filled with courage. Due to her more than twenties years experience, at one glances she has been able to see Ye Xin Mo might a type of distinctive and also wise person, incomparable to the ordinary. But because she knew this clearly, so that she was become more worried toward her playboy and carefree son, still better to ask her son to go as she wished, to progress with that cute Yao Yin!!

It was only a thought, but the superficial work still should be done, Mother Lu moved slightly sideways, “Then trouble you Xiao Mo!”

“It is not trouble.” Ye Xin Mo slightly nodding her head, then she moved to the wash sink side, rolled up her sleeves and then dip down her hand, carefully washing the dishes. Normally she is lazy, but house chores not really hard to the point able to trouble her.

Mother Lu saw her washing the dishes such serious, while she was picking up the leftover vegetable leaves. After sometime, Mother Lu who has extrovert character couldn’t stay any quiet, then she took this chance to find out more about this girl: “Xiao Mo ah! How old are you this year?”

“24 years old.”

“Where are you graduated from?” She replied quite simple and then continued.

“S University.”

“S university is quiet hard, Xiao Mo it seems you must be had good grades! What is yours job now?” in order to break the quiet, she continued.

“Writer.”

“Oh! Isn’t Xiao Han an editor? Could it be both of you are meeting through work?” Yi? A gossip, there would be a gossip.

“En.” She afraid if she told Mother Lu that both of them knew each other through playing game then she might get high blood pressure, then Ye Xin Mo just answer her very simple about two of them met.

Mother Lu was bit confusing when listened to her ‘en’ speaking tone, is she easy to be mother? After all she couldn’t deal with her son’s girlfriend? How could this do? Well, let’s continued. “Then Xiao Mo, does your family also work at here?”

Does your family also work at here? Your family also works at here? Your family, do they also work… suddenly Ye Xin Mo’s hand stopped, in her head only this sentence that kept on replaying. Until Mother Lu sensed something off then at the time when she wanted to lift up her head, a clear voice suddenly flown: “My family, all of them are gone…”
