"Fragile goods?" Mu Chenyan finally spoke up. "Handle with care?" She scoffed, "I'm not fragile! I just asked you to be gentle." She looked pitiful as she said, "You're gentle around your son. Can't you spare so of that motherly gentleness?"
Mother Yue pursed her lips as she replied, 'I am no gentle woman. Don't expect gentleness from .'
"You might not be a gentle woman but you're a gentlewoman,[1]" said Mu Chenyan.
Mother Yue looked at her for a mont. 'You don't have to remind who I am.' She fixed the ice pack on Mu Chenyan's foot before asking, 'Do you want sothing to eat?'
"I want so cream bread," replied Mu Chenyan but seeing Mother Yue's face, she grinned. "You don't have it? Then forget it." She brought the apple to her mouth to take a bite but her hand was held and Mother Yue snatched the apple from her. Mu Chenyan's mouth was left open.
'Didn't you protect it with your life for ?'
"But you looked down on my single apple," retorted Mu Chenyan. "You shouldn't be looking down on single things. You and I are also singles!"
Mother Yue put that apple in her mouth. 'You talk too much!'
Mu Chenyan made a face at her and said, "Yue, you need to wash it first." Mother Yue gave her a look and Mu Chenyan took a bite of the apple happily as she went on, "There is no need to wash it. It's only a few germs."
'The burning rage in the pit of your stomach will burn all those germs. Eat it without any worry!'
Mu Chenyan chewed on the crunchy and sweet apple as she said, "Yue, you're really not nice. It's really hard to believe that you're a sweet girl once."
'It's hard to believe that you're a carefree soul as well.'
The friendship between Mu Chenyan and Mother Yue ca to be because of Raelle and Hyson. And these two mother figures were as eccentric as the young ones they raised. Also, their personalities also didn't match with each other but their sowhat similar experiences brought them close. And they found a much needed friend in each other.
One of the similarities was that they both changed after they got the responsibility of raising a child. Although Mu Chenyan wasn't Xiang family's daughter, she was always treated like one. She had never been forced to do anything and because there was always soone to protect her, she used to cause quite a lot of troubles because of her short-temper.
And as for Mother Yue, her temperant was completely different from Mu Chenyan. She was sweet, bubbly and full of life. But she was also a very weak person who would never fight back. And her weakness also ca about because she had grown up in a sheltered atmosphere where she never had to face any grievance at all.
While Mu Chenyan was rebellious, Mother Yue was complaisant. But because of Raelle, Mu Chenyan learned to control her impulsiveness and because of Hyson, Mother Yue learned to be strong to protect her son.
"Let stay here tonight," said Mu Chenyan as she looked towards the open kitchen where Mother Yue was cooking sothing.
She stopped for a mont to ask, 'Why?'
"Because if I went ho in this condition, Elder Xiang is gonna ground !"
Mother Yue chuckled at that. 'Isn't that good? You love staying at ho.'
"I can stay at ho on my own accord but if soone ask to stay at ho, I can't do it!"
'Your defiance cos out to play?'
Mu Chenyan nodded her head and sighed, "Although it's been years, I really can't get over my defiant nature. Because it's a part of that I only managed to hide from the world. I couldn't kill that part of ." She took a mont and added, "Also, if my Elle saw injured, it won't be good."
'She isn't impulsive like you.'
Mu Chenyan smiled at that, "I wish she was impulsive once in a while." She had a remiscient look on her face as she continued, "When I was young, I used to envy the adults. Because I thought they knew everything about life. But when I turned an adult myself, I realized no one knew anything around , including . Because each one of us were running in life to find our own answers." Mother Yue squinted her eyes at her. "But then God gifted with His most beautiful creation and I nad her Raelle. And she beca the answer I've been looking for. However, now my Elle is married and I feel lost again."
Mother Yue shook her head at Mu Chenyan. 'She only got married. What are you crying about?'
Mu Chenyan pouted at her, "You don't understand, Yue. Knowing that now my Elle has her own ho and she doesn't need , makes feel so useless. The house without her seems so empty."
Mother Yue brought a spatula to hit Mu Chenyan's head as she said, 'You're being over dramatic now. She hasn't even gonna that far from you. Call her once, and she'll be right with you.'
"You're really not trying to understand my feelings now," complained Mu Chenyan. "Forget it. You tell where is Yue Fai?"
'At the dorms.'
"He isn't coming back ho?" asked Mu Chenyan.
Mother Yue shook her head, 'He said he is gonna get busy in the coming days. So he won't be able to co see often,'
Mu Chenyan nodded her head as a smirk appeared on her face. Mother Yue could already tell she was up to sothing. That smirk was way too obvious.
"Let's get drunk tonight!"
Mother Yue facepald herself. She knew nothing good will co out of her mouth. However, that didn't an she'd refuse either. She was the only one before whom, she could let loose.
'Let's do it!'
Mu Chenyan instantly grinned seeing the other woman agreeing with her.
[1] When she said gentle and woman separately, she ans 'a kind or tender woman.' But when she said gentlewoman, that ans a woman of noble birth.
