After the introductions were done and the couple had settled into their rooms, Mama Li continued to bombard Chen Hua with questions

Except for this time, instead of silently watching Chen Hua struggle to respond to her questions, Cheng Yu was there to answer each and every one of Mama Li’s questions. He was afraid that Chen Hua would make the situation needlessly more complex by causing further misunderstandings.

Eventually, they spoke until the sun had gone down and before they noticed, it was already time for dinner. Cheng Yu had managed to keep the bastion’s defences in place. Despite his mother’s relentless assault.

Extending out her chopsticks to put a drumstick in Chen Hua’s bowl, Mama Li gently smiled at Chen Hua. “Here! A young girl like you needs to eat more to recover quickly!”

Cheng Yu’s father did the same thing. Except that his voice lacked any trace of affection. He simply dropped a piece of meat into Chen Hua’s bowl and grunted. “Eat.”

“Ah! Thank you! You two should eat more as well!” Chen Hua put a hearty amount of vegetables into their bowls in return.

“What a good girl! You so well mannered! When will you two be marrying?” Mama Li couldn’t help but ask. With such a courteous and respectful young woman like Chen Hua being Cheng Yu’s girlfriend, Mama Li wanted to strike while the iron was hot and make sure Chen Hua was her daughter-in-law.

Marriage? Isn’t gay marriage not recognized here?

“Ma, let’s leave such matters until Chen Hua is able to walk again.” Cheng Yu calmly voiced his opinion.

“It’s not that I don’t want to be a busybody… It’s just that you’re almost 34 years old! Most people at your age would have married by now! You know… our house’s neighbour’s Mr.Lee’s son has already married! And he’s only 25! You two need to hurry up and seal the deal!” Mama Li loudly declared.

Chen Hua’s face couldn’t help but scrunch up in envy when he heard that. Married at 25! Whereas I’m still single at 45!

“Ah but nowadays, divorce rates are really high! I think it’s better to wait until you’re very sure that you want to get married! It’s okay to wait!” With his pride as a single man on the line, Chen Hua fiercely retorted.

But Mama Li adamantly pressed onwards, “I believe that even your parents will agree with me that it’s better to get married while you’re still young! Even good wine fears to go unnoticed in an empty street! Let alone women in their 30s and are still left on the shelf! Nobody wants expired goods!”

Dinner continued with Mama Li urging Cheng Yu and Chen Hua to get married, only to face overwhelming resistance. Cheng Yu’s father simply sat through the whole thing with a small smile on his face. It was good to have a lively household during dinner.

However, the thought of his body’s parents left a deep impression on Chen Hua’s mind. Parents? Does the owner of this body have parents?

...

When it was time for bed, Cheng Yu’s parents occupied his room. Leaving the only remaining bed the one in the guest room, which Cheng Yu had ordered for Chen Hua before the ‘bloody episode’.

But today, instead of sleeping on the sofa, Cheng Yu followed Chen Hua into the room. He could not sleep on the sofa because he had to pretend to be lovers with Chen Hua! If a couple were sleeping in separate locations, it meant that their relationship wasn’t doing so well!

“I’ll sleep on the floor, you don’t have to worry.” Cheng Yu declared with Chen Hua’s worries in mind. The girl’s bed would be extremely squeezy if both of them were to sleep on it. Furthermore, after how things went that night, it would be best if they didn’t share the same bed.

“Ah… You’ll catch a cold if you sleep on the floor. It’s okay for you to share the bed with me...” Chen Hua’s voice gradually softened. Cheng Yu was surprised, she wasn’t afraid of him?

“You’re not worried about what might happen?” voicing out his opinion, Cheng Yu simply gave Chen Hua a deadpan stare.

Cheng Yu’s question brought heat to Chen Hua’s face, recalling the events of that night. Despite that, Chen Hua still remained headstrong. “What’s there to be worried about?”

I am a manly man why would I be worried? If you try to pull the same thing again, I’ll make sure it’s broken this time! I’m just trying to repay Mama Li’s kindness because I like her and you’re her son!

Despite his bold declaration, Chen Hua currently felt extremely awkward and wished he could take back what he said! For both him and Cheng Yu to fit onto the small bed, they were in a spooning position! His body stiffened when Chen Hua couldn’t help but notice Cheng Yu’s thing poking him from behind. It seems that Cheng Yu’s little bird was still standing strong despite having dealt a fatal blow to it!

Trying to avoid as much contact with Cheng Yu as possible Chen Hua constantly fidgetted about to adjust himself. Before he knew it, he was at the edge of the bed!

Is it just me or does he take up a lot of space?

As expected, dangling at the edge of the precipice, Chen Hua had tempted fate. Chen Hua closed his eyes as he fell off the bed with a shrill cry, bracing himself for the incoming impact.

But nothing happened. Instead, a muscular and well-toned arm wrapped around his waist and was in the midst of pulling him into its owners embrace.

“Aiyo! What’s wrong? We heard someone cry out!” Bursting into the room was Mama Li and Cheng Yu’s father.

But what they saw was Cheng Yu tightly holding onto Chen Hua from behind on the bed. It was as though they were a newlywed couple that couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

“Ohoho! It seems that we have interrupted your... rest. Don’t mind us! Go ahead and continue!” Being extremely considerate for her future grandchildren, Mama Li gleefully pulled her husband back to their own rooms.

She then enviously whispered to her husband in a hushed tone, “Youngsters these days are so energetic! It’s nice to be young!”
