Zhao Chuning looked towards the kitchen, "I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhang Rong was boiling ginger soup. When she saw her daughter come in, she turned down the heat and asked her, "How is he?"
"I'm taking a shower."
"Do your father's clothes fit him well?"
"You have to wear it even if it doesn't fit." Zhao Chuning said.
"Your father wore it. I'm afraid he doesn't like it."
Zhao Chuning didn't respond to this, but just looked at his mother deeply, and suddenly hugged her gently from behind, with his chin on her shoulder. Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment, turned her face to her and smiled helplessly, raised her hand and patted her face, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, don't blame me, you and Dad. I didn't mean to not discuss it with you."
Zhang Rong felt a little sad when she mentioned this. "It's not your fault. I used to hope that you could get married, have a good family, and find a good father for Mimi. Now that you are really married, I feel uncomfortable. I am also afraid that you will be bullied by Tang Yi. I don't know what their family's attitude is, and I don't know how their family treats you. I am afraid that you will marry into the family without knowing the reason and waste your life."
"I've met his family." Zhao Chuning spoke softly in her ear, "It was his grandfather who proposed that we get married, and he also mentioned that he wanted to meet you to discuss the marriage. I haven't mentioned marriage to you yet, so I've temporarily rejected his proposal. They all seem to be easy to get along with."
She didn't dare tell them that Mimi was almost taken away by the old man and taken abroad that day. If she told them, the two old people would only be more worried.
Hearing her say this, Zhang Rong felt more at ease.
"When you plan to hold the wedding, your father and I will meet them. You stay here tonight and go back tomorrow. But I won't go back with you tomorrow."
Zhao Chuning raised his head from her shoulder and turned his face to the side, "Mom, you are not still angry with me, are you?"
"Why are you so angry? I wish you could get married quickly, so that Third Aunt wouldn't have to gossip about me." Zhang Rong said, "First, I have to take care of your dad. Second, you two are married now, so you have to live with him. That's what a home is. No one is like you, living apart every day after marriage."
"Even if Tang Yi and I live there, you and Dad can still live there. The house over there is big, just right."
"Nonsense, do your father and I look like such ignorant people? You two are newlyweds, bring Mimi with you, and the three of you should get along well and live a good life."
Zhao Chuning didn't say anything else, just leaning on her mother's shoulder. It was only now that she finally felt the reality of marriage, as if she was leaving her parents' wings, and she felt reluctant.

On the other side, Tang Yi finished his shower, put on a T-shirt and came out. The room was heated, so he didn't feel cold even though he was wearing so little.
"Have you finished washing? Come over here if you're done!" Zhang Rong's voice sounded. Compared to her previous indifference to him, she sounded much more enthusiastic now.
Tang Yi looked up and saw Zhao Chuning standing next to her mother, waving at him.
He walked over, and Zhang Rong handed him a bowl of steaming ginger soup, "Drink this to get rid of the cold."
"Drink it quickly, my mother cooked it herself. It will be a little spicy." Zhao Chuning reminded.
Tang Yi was holding the ginger tea and was stunned for a while, looking at this and that, a little dazed.
The steaming hot ginger soup hit his face, making him feel indescribably warm. That warmth came from the bottom of his heart.
He had forgotten how many years it had been since he had been taken care of like this. Even after his mother passed away, he returned to the Tang family and lived alone in a hotel for several years. No one had ever asked about his well-being when he was in pain.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chuning saw that he was a little distracted and asked curiously.
Tang Yi shook his head, "It's just that my family hasn't taken care of me like this for so many years, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Zhang Rong and Zhao Hen looked at each other when they heard this. His words sounded very real, not fake, and he could tell from his fluctuating eyes. Moreover, such a small gesture was very common in an ordinary family like theirs. However, in his world, it was obviously very rare.
Zhao Chuning felt a pang of pain in her heart. This man seemed to be surrounded by people, but he had to bear the true loneliness alone.
"Drink it." She said, "You'll get used to it slowly."
Tang Yi looked at her deeply, with all kinds of emotions flashing through his eyes. Then, he raised his head and drank the ginger soup in one gulp.
As she said, it was quite spicy. Normally, he would have tasted a small sip and not added any more, but this time, he drank the whole bowl of soup in one breath.
As soon as he finished drinking, Zhang Rong took the bowl and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah." Tang Yi nodded.
"You'll sweat in a moment."
He nodded: "Thank you, Mom."
He called her "Mom" very smoothly, without any hesitation, as if he had called her that dozens or even hundreds of times.
The three people beside them were all stunned for a moment.
Zhao Chuning felt uncomfortable, and her ears turned red. Zhang Rong and Zhao Hen came to their senses and smiled immediately. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with this title.
"Okay, Chuchu, take him to your room to sit for a while. Cover him with a blanket. He's wearing too little." Zhang Rong smiled and pointed to the room with her chin.
Zhao Chuning said nothing and took Tang Yi into his bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, Tang Yi reached out and hugged her.
"Why are you blushing?"
"... Why are you so shameless?" Although Zhao Chuning said this, there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
Hearing him call me "Mom", I finally felt like they were a family.
Tang Yi looked at the smile on her face with deep eyes, and his heart was moved. He bent down and kissed her lips deeply. She breathed heavily and reminded him: "My parents are still outside..."
"The door is closed, and mom and dad can't see through things." He finished speaking, and her breath was completely swallowed by him.
She opened her lips and let his breath invade her.
My mood improved.
This is what it feels like when the marriage of two people is approved by their parents and they are no longer worried.
She suddenly felt that there would be a rainbow in their future.
As they kissed, their breathing became more and more irregular. Finally, they fell on the bed, hugging and kissing.
Zhao Chuning pushed Tang Yi away, "No..."
Tang Yi supported himself on her side with one hand, but did not really go any further. He just panted, stared at her from top to bottom, and whispered: "I will treat you well in the future."
Zhao Chuning's heart was shaken. These words were a promise, spoken solemnly and affectionately.
Tang Yi has never been a person who would make any promises, so she is well aware of the weight of this sentence.
