Night was approaching, the twilight was hazy, the lights were dim, but Tang Wei, who was sitting next to him, was even more fascinating than the scenery outside.
The two people looked at each other and smiled. There was no need for too many words, as they understood each other's feelings.
For dinner, Liu Xiangru prepared a large table of dishes. Considering Tang Wei's health, she cooked light dishes, but the taste was excellent. Tang Wei's appetite was much better than before, and he added more rice. Shang Shiyu was naturally happy to see this. The two elders were also very pleased to see this, and Liu Xiangru kept putting dishes into his bowl.
After dinner, Tang Wei volunteered to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but Liu Xiangru refused and pushed them both to the terrace outside to drink tea.
Shang Shiyu held up the teacup and smiled at him, "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious to show it. My parents like you very much, more than they like me. Even if you don't show it, they would have already recognized you."
Tang Wei looked at the night sky with a somewhat lonely expression, and pursed his lips, "I may not be able to satisfy them with other things, so I can only make them happier with the small details I can do."
"I can't think of anything that you can't do to satisfy them."
In her eyes, Tang Wei was perfect. No one could compare to him. When you love someone, your vision will always become narrow, but she has long been trapped in such narrowness and cannot extricate herself, and she likes this narrowness.
Tang Wei held her with one hand and said regretfully, "Child."
Shang Shiyu knew that Tang Wei was still worried about this matter. She put down the teacup, put her arm around his waist, and comforted him, "Isn't it good to live a life with only the two of us in the future? I've said before that I don't like children."
Tang Wei smiled and stroked her soft long hair.
After all, he just didn't want her to have any regrets in her life!
The two of them stayed outside for a while and then returned to the living room. They didn't sleep well last night, and they were both sleepy before nine o'clock today.
Shang Shiyu yawned, "Mom, I want to go to bed early tonight. I'll go get the quilt."
As she spoke, she walked into the bedroom to get the quilt she would use tonight and put it on the sofa in the living room. Liu Xiangru followed her in and stuffed the quilt she had taken out of the closet back into the living room.
"Okay, stop moving." Liu Xiangru said.
"Mom, you won't let me sleep on the sofa without even a blanket tonight, right?" Shang Shiyu thought, since Tang Wei came back, the difference in her treatment was indeed a bit big, but it shouldn't be this big!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Xiangru glanced at her, "You sleep on the bed tonight too."
"ah?"
"I said, both of you should sleep in the bed! I changed the big quilt for you and the sheets for you as well."
"..." Shang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and then, after a long while, he said hesitantly: "Mom... that..."
"Okay, stop talking about this and that. Don't think that I don't know anything." Liu Xiangru lowered her voice, "I watched the things in the trash can today."
"..." Shang Shiyu's face turned pale, then red, and then purple. She had hidden the condom at the bottom of the trash can last night. She had planned to get up early this morning to throw it away, but she had completely forgotten about it when she woke up.
Just when she didn't know how to face her mother who already knew everything, there was a knock on the door and Tang Wei pushed it open.
"Aunt Liu, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
Shang Shiyu's face was still red, and he only heard his mother say: "Okay, no one needs to sleep tonight. You guys go to bed early, I'm going to watch my TV series."
Liu Xiangru said this and without staying any longer, she left the room and went to her bedroom.
There were only two of them in the room. Shang Shiyu heard no more noise in the hall, and then he uttered an annoyed "Ahhh" and covered his face with his hands, "This is so embarrassing."
"What's wrong?" Tang Wei took her hand away and touched her face. "Why is it so hot? Like a freshly boiled egg."
Shang Shiyu cried, "My mother knows everything!"
Tang Wei was a little confused at first, but then, thinking of what Liu Xiangru had just said, he suddenly understood, and seeing her reaction, he was more certain. Funny: "What does it matter? We are all adults."
"Even though that's what I said,... I still feel a little awkward."
Tang Wei held up her blushing little face and said, "At least, we don't have to be so cautious or sneaky tonight. Isn't that a good thing? But... Aunt Liu doesn't seem to be urging us to get married."
"Not so fast." Shang Shiyu took his hand away, looked at him, and rubbed the dark circles under his eyes with heartache, "Go take a shower quickly, I'll go outside to wash up. You didn't get much sleep last night, go to bed early tonight."
"Okay." Tang Wei nodded.
—
After a while, the two of them finished washing up and lay down on the bed together.
Shang Shiyu rested her head on Tang Wei's arm. She was so sleepy, and with him by her side, she soon fell asleep.
Tang Weiyi felt extremely peaceful and enjoyed the feeling of hugging her like this.
"Tang Wei..." Shang Shiyu suddenly called him, his voice was lazy, like a mumbling in a dream.
"Hmm?" He straightened her hair and lifted her little face.
She fluttered her eyelashes, slowly opened her eyelids, and looked him in the eye. "When are you going to go back?"
"In fact, I am planning to live in Mianyang City in the future. Here I have you, Aunt Liu and Uncle Shang, and the beautiful Mianyang Sea."
"No." Shang Shiyu shook his head, "You have a career in Youcheng."
"Yeah. I've thought about it. I'll probably fly to Judea two or three times a week. If there's a lot going on, I can go four or five times."
Shang Shiyu felt tired just by listening to it.
"I won't allow you to torture yourself like this!" She bent over, "You've only just recovered a little, you should take good care of yourself. You can't fly around like this. And..."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Does your body... still need to be checked regularly?"
Tang Wei hugged her slender waist tightly, then nodded, "Yes, I want it. Tang Song will call me for follow-up every week, but I still need to go to the hospital every month."
Shang Shiyu's breathing tightened as she listened, and there was a long silence. Although she didn't say much, her arms around Tang Wei showed her nervousness at the moment. Tang Wei kissed the top of her head, "Shang Shang, don't be nervous. I'm much better now. Even if I go to the hospital for a checkup, it's just a routine checkup."
“… Let us return to Judea.”
"But this is your home."
"I also want to live with my parents in Mianyang City, but I can't let you fly back and forth between the two cities all the time." Shang Shiyu looked at him, "Why don't we bring our parents to Youcheng as well, right?"
Tang Wei raised his lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I still have to ask Uncle Shang and Aunt Liu for their opinions."
