Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

After thinking it over, the old couple decided to talk about the choice between the two mentioned by Han Hao during dinner.

Zhang Li put down her bowl and chopsticks and sighed deeply. This seemed to be her normal behavior recently. Every time Han Chengwen heard this sigh, his heart tightened and he wanted to ask as soon as he opened his mouth: What's wrong with you?

Zhang Li looked at her son who was indifferent after she sighed. She glared at him and said:

"Han Hao, what you said to me last time when you came back from the police station, I have discussed with your father, we would rather you live alone for the rest of your life than marry that Shi Ying."

Zhou Leng nodded and said:

"Okay, I get it. From now on, I will just accompany her as a friend. This is fine. I think even if you get married, your relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may not be good. In fact, Shi Ying and I haven't been in touch for a month. I've been very busy recently. Before, I said that I wanted to marry her, but it was just my wishful thinking. She didn't actually say that she wanted to date me."

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he quickly ate a few more mouthfuls of food, his expression calm and his tone normal.

Zhang Li couldn't help but said loudly, "She even used Qiao as an excuse. It's beyond her reach for her to date you. She has dated so many people, but you haven't dated any. You're not as indecent as her."

Zhou Leng twitched his lips and said:

"Mom, I'm already 30 and still a virgin, is that something to be proud of? Besides, what era is this now? How can it be considered improper for people to date each other? I can't blame them for being a spare tire, because I'm being crazy and nice to them every day. I give them things even though they don't want anything. If you refuse once or twice, you can refuse three or four times. You're a bastard if you don't take advantage of others."

Zhang Li was so surprised when she heard this that she didn't know how to respond. After a while, she said, "You're still trying to flatter me. Haven't you heard that it's not a good thing to be the one who takes after you? I really don't know who you took after. When you were born, I should have..."

Han Chengwen kicked his wife under the table, interrupting her and saying:

"Son, your mom said those words in anger. Your mom and I definitely respect your choice. It's your own business who you live with, but we all think that Shi Ying's child shouldn't be brought into our home. It won't sound good if we tell others about it. If she doesn't look like one of our family members in the future, people will laugh at her. What do you think?"

Zhou Leng still didn't look up and continued to eat. After swallowing, he said:

"Let's talk about this later. I haven't decided whether to marry her or not, but I will consider your opinions. Anyway, I'll talk about it after I'm done with this busy period. If she finds a good man, I will bless her, and I will definitely be filial to you two in the future. There's nothing good about getting married. After I send you two away, maybe I'll become a monk."

Zhang Li gritted her teeth and said, "I'm telling you, don't do this to me. Are you trying to scare me and your dad? Don't we all agree with you and Shi Ying? What else do you want to do?"

Zhou Leng finished the rice in his bowl, then got up and left. When he reached the bedroom door, he said, "Dad, I'm tired today, so I'm going to bed early."

The old couple looked at each other, feeling helpless. Now they were not sure what their son's attitude was. He might not be upset and not look for anyone in the future.

Zhang Li waited until her son closed the door before she said, "See? Now you're ignoring me."

Han Chengwen said comfortingly:

"I guess our son is still angry about the incident you caused at Shi Ying's workplace. Mother and son don't hold grudges overnight. I think we should stop interfering with our son and Shi Ying's relationship, or else our relationship with him will become increasingly strained. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. When they get married, let them move out so that out of sight, out of mind."

Zhang Li did not speak, but sighed for the Nth time today. She said in a melancholy voice: "Children are all debts."

Zhou Leng went back to his room and lay on the bed. He suddenly felt a little despicable. In order to complete the task, he made the original body's parents so angry that he acquiesced to Shi Ying's abortion. He thought that one day people would have to accept themselves in any form, the hardworking and high-spirited self, and of course the despicable and cowardly self. Maybe one day they will also have to accept the ordinary and incompetent self.

All Zhou Leng can do is to reconcile with his despicable self and strive to be a good husband and a good son in the future.

*****

After Shi Ying rested for a month, she dressed herself up again so that she could meet Han Hao again in the best condition.

The two met at a shopping mall on their day off.

Zhou Leng didn't say that he would take the initiative to pick up the other party, but he gave positive feedback about the two of them dating together.

Shi Ying wore a black, slimming, cool suit. I don’t know if it was because of Zhou Leng saying she was fat last time. She wore a white shirt inside, black shorts, and a pair of long boots on her feet. A part of her snow-white slender legs was exposed, which contrasted with the black boots. The overall look gave people a very fashionable and beautiful feeling.

On the other hand, Zhou Leng wore a pair of designer jeans with a half-gray and half-white shirt, and a white sports side bag on his back. Because he had been exercising frequently recently and sweating a lot, his skin had become better. His tall and thin appearance attracted the glances of several girls.

This can be considered a combination of handsome men and beautiful women.

Shi Ying looked at him and said in a pleasantly surprised tone, "I find that Haohao, you are becoming more and more handsome."

Zhou Leng walked up to her and said, "You're just getting more handsome? My figure is getting better and better. Xiaoying, are you hungry? Why don't you go eat something first and then go shopping? I've been busy taking online classes recently and I'm overwhelmed. It's a good time to relax."

The two walked side by side.

Shi Ying asked in confusion: "Online classes? You still want to take online classes when you're already working?"

The two walked to the escalator, and Zhou Leng said gently: "Be careful."

After they both stood firm, he continued:

"Although my current job pays well, I can't rest on my laurels, so I learned other languages ​​and programming techniques. It's good to have more skills. Once I have accumulated enough, I can change jobs. Although I'm old now, I can still do it as long as I have mature skills."

Shi Ying looked at him with admiration and asked, "Where are you going to work again? Will it be more difficult?"

Zhou Leng replied: "Maybe I will go to some game companies or software development companies. Then I will see which one offers higher salary."

Shi Ying's eyes lit up. She knew that she had to praise and compliment him at this moment, so a wave of flattery attacked Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng knew that the other party had ill intentions, so he could only pretend to be reserved. After all, what else could he do? Han Hao liked her.

All for the mission.
