Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yu Lili heaved a sigh of relief at Ou Ming’s confession. She shot a hard glare at him and whined, “You scared to death!”
Ou Ming’s lip lifted, and his smile deepened. In actual fact, his prior statent had been the truth. But, he didn’t say anything further.
He turned to look at her and said, “My mom likes to practice yoga in the afternoons. Don’t you do yoga too? You should join her.”
Ou Ming wants to join his mom in yoga?
Yu Lili was a little uneasy with the idea “Is that OK? Your mom hates so much. If I were to join her in the afternoon, will I be scolded to no end?”
That was what Yu Lili was most afraid of and most worried about.
“That’s impossible.” Ou Ming gazed into Yu Lili’s eyes with a smile on his lips. In a lowered voice, he said, “Don’t overthink it. You’re just scaring yourself silly. If you speak to my mom properly, she won’t make things difficult for you.”
“If that’s the case, when I see you mom later, how should I address her?” Yu Lili asked.
Does he really expect to call Jiao Ziqing “Mom?”
Yu Lili’s thoughts put a frown on her face. The thought of possibly getting scolded by Ou Ming’s mother made her ill at ease. Hesitantly, she asked in a small voice, “Will your mom feel that I’m overstepping my boundaries? What if she scolds ?”
“That won’t happen. My mom is not as terrifying as you imagine her to be.” Ou Ming was torn between laughing and crying. “Just how severe a case of PTSD did my mom trigger in you? Don’t be afraid. Just pretend my mom is . Actually, there are tis when my words can be a little harsh too, no?”
“It’s not just ‘a little.’ It’s extrely harsh...” Yu Lili pouted her lips and complained.
Ou Ming was at a loss of how to reply. Instead, he pinched her cheeks and cajoled, “Go on. The yoga room was where I took you just now. Rember not to be too cautious or too affected. My mom is really just all bark and no bite.”
He couldn’t resist planting a kiss on her mouth. He lowered his voice and said, “My mom is your mom too. In the future, you’ll have to learn to change how you address her. When you see dad later, you should address him as ‘Dad’ too. Got it?”
Yu Lili found it hard to accept all at once. Everything was progressing a little too quickly.
Seeing Ou Ming’s expression, she could only nod her head and reply, “Got it. What are you going to do now?”
“I’m going out with Dad for a mont,” Ou Ming said. “I won’t be ho in the afternoon. You should take the chance to spend so ti with Mom alone at ho. If she makes things difficult for you, just give a call. I’ll co ho straight away.”
Yu Lili’s heart settled sowhat. She nodded her head. “Alright. Go on, then.”
“OK. You go first.” Ou Ming nudged her gently.
Yu Lili was still feeling a little apprehensive. After looking back a couple of tis, she headed off. When she reached the yoga room, Jiao Ziqing was inside practicing her yoga.
A radio was positioned in front. It was broadcasting a music and storytelling session. The voice of the female singer was soothing and lodious, and the rhythm of the story was moving.
Yu Lili stood by the entrance of the yoga room and knocked gently on the door. “May I co in?” she asked.
Jiao Ziqing was facing a huge mirror. A yoga room didn’t have much furniture, except for mirrors, which it possessed in abundance.
Jiao Ziqing had noticed her way before. When she saw the hesitation in Yu Lili’s expression, she feigned ignorance. After hearing her voice, she replied offhandedly, “Just co in if you’re already intending to.”
