Chapter 218 Everyone has their own concerns
"Oh, okay," Luo Meilan replied, then lowered her head to eat sunflower seeds.
"That's strange. We were gossiping just now, why did we suddenly go quiet?"
Sun-young muttered curiously.
"We want to tell you, but you won't let us!"
Luo Meilan said with a smile.
"Who told you to talk about that kind of thing?"
"It's really embarrassing."
Sun-young pouted and glared at her angrily.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."
"Hey! Daddy Aze!"
Luo Meilan stood up and greeted the door.
Sun-young turned around abruptly, but there was no one at the door.
"Hahahaha~~~"
"I told you you liked it."
Luo Meilan, having succeeded in her plan, slapped her thigh and laughed.
"Really!"
"Is he still a child?"
Sun-young was speechless.
Just as the two of them were arguing loudly, the door was carefully pushed open.
Cui Wusheng wanted to shout something, but seeing the two laughing loudly, he seemed to be too busy to do anything. He put his hand in the air, unsure whether to shout or not.
Luo Meilan was facing the door. She glanced at him and immediately saw him.
"Hey! Dad, what's up?"
Luo Meilan greeted them.
"what!"
"Again?"
"Even if I really like him, Sunwoo won't agree."
"Big sister, please don't talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be able to face my brother (respectful title) in the future."
Sun-young's rapid-fire remarks interrupted Choi Moo-sung, who was about to respond, and also stopped Ra Mi-ran from laughing.
Ra Mi-ran's eyes darted around nervously. Hearing Seon-young's words, she wondered whether she should remind her of what was going on behind the scenes.
"To be honest, I have feelings for my brother."
“During the Lunar New Year, Pearl was always willing to go with him. It had been a long time since she had such a relaxed time.”
"Back then, I was actually looking forward to it."
"But when I think of Sunwoo, I can't help it."
"Don't talk nonsense anymore."
"What if he hears me? How am I supposed to live?!"
After Sun-young finished speaking, she saw that Ra Mi-ran was staring blankly behind her. Following Ra Mi-ran's gaze, she slowly turned around.
"Hello...you guys."
"I've come to...borrow...borrow some soy sauce..."
Cui Wusheng stammered.
Sunyoung was completely dumbfounded. She turned around abruptly to look at Rami, and her face turned red instantly, even though it was the middle of winter.
"Oh, I'll get it for you."
Luo Meilan quickly got up, ran to the kitchen, and grabbed a bottle of soy sauce.
Choi Moo-sung took the soy sauce with trembling hands, turned around and almost bumped into a pillar. He adjusted his posture, hurriedly opened the door and left, even forgetting to thank Ra Mi-ran.
"I did not say!"
"I swear!"
Luo Meilan raised her hand and swore to the heavens, but inwardly she was laughing her head off.
"You said that yourself."
"I'm too embarrassed to see anyone!"
Sun-young covered her face and ran out.
"Hello~"
"Sun-young, my child!"
Watching Sun-young leave, Ra Mi-ran clutched her stomach and laughed so hard she bent over.
"Squeak~~"
Zhengfeng pushed open the door and looked blankly at his mother, who was laughing hysterically, while holding Zhenzhu.
"Mom?" Pearl called out, looking at the empty house.
“Pearl, that’s my mother.”
"what?"
"Where's your mom?"
Zhengfeng glanced at the living room where only Luo Meilan was present.
"Mom, where's Pearl's mom?"
"Haha~~ Oh, it's Zhengfeng."
Stopping her laughter, Luo Meilan pointed to the doorway.
"She had something urgent to attend to and went back."
"Take Pearl with you for a while. Don't send her over yet; let her calm down first."
Luo Meilan said with a hint of deeper meaning.
"But...I think..."
Zhengfeng looked at his mother hesitantly.
"What?" Luo Meilan asked, looking at him.
"I want to go out for a bit," Zhengfeng said in a slightly low voice.
Luo Meilan looked at him and took the pearl.
Zhengfeng nodded gravely and turned to walk towards the door.
"Wait a minute," Luo Meilan called out to him.
Zhengfeng's pupils dilated, his heart raced, and he turned his head, his expression becoming even more grave.
"Take 30,000 won from your wallet. You can play video games or get something to eat." Looking at Jung-bong's 'heavy' expression, and knowing he had already been upset about his failure to be selected, Ra Mi-ran said with some concern.
Zhengfeng picked up his wallet, pulled out three bills, and gave a forced smile.
"thanks Mom."
Zhengfeng turned around and pushed open the door. Right behind the door, as Luo Meilan, who was holding Zhenzhu, was gradually blocked from view by the closing door, an excited smile appeared on Zhengfeng's face.
So all that was just to get past my mom's hurdle, I was forcing myself to be serious~
As expected of Zhengfeng, who excels at everything except academics.
This cleverness is probably inherited from his mother.
.........
Aze family
Just as Aze was about to head to Liu Shuyu's house, he saw his father rushing home in a panic.
"Dad?" Aze looked at him curiously.
"Did something happen?"
"Oh, hehe~ Aze."
"No, what happened? What's wrong?"
Cui Wusheng asked in return, seemingly clueless.
"Then why are you so flustered?" Aze reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Look, he's sweating even in the dead of winter."
"He said no."
Aze looked at him with concern.
"Oh, this is cold sweat~", Cui Wusheng explained haphazardly.
"Cold sweat?" Aze asked, puzzled.
"It's alright. By the way, Aze, are you going to find Shuyu?"
"Go on, do you want Dad to make lunch?"
"Should we eat at Shuyu's place as usual?"
Cui Wusheng bombarded him with questions, abruptly changing the subject.
"Oh, no need, I probably won't be coming back."
Aze replied, walking towards the door, scratching his head the whole way.
Cold sweat?
Why do I break out in a cold sweat in the dead of winter?
Did something stressful happen?
Or did something exciting happen?
Aze left, puzzled.
"Whoo~~~"
Only after watching Ah-ze leave did Choi Moo-sung breathe a sigh of relief.
A drop of sweat then dripped from his forehead to the ground.
He reached up and touched his head, which was covered in sweat.
My heart was pounding so hard, and my whole body felt hot.
If Shuyu hadn't secretly helped him recover, he probably would have suffered a stroke and passed out.
.........
Sunwoo's family
Sun-young blushed and ran home.
"mom?"
"what happened?"
Sunwoo asked curiously.
"Oh, cough cough~"
"Sunwoo, I'm fine."
Sun-young waved her hand, but kept her head down, looking at the ground.
"what happened?"
"Where are the pearls?"
Sunwoo looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Pearls..."
"Pearl is...playing at Zhengfeng's place."
"Sunwoo, you're starting school tomorrow, right?"
"Wow, the college entrance exam is just around the corner. Time really flies."
Sun-young skillfully changed the subject.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing Sunwoo holding the bag, she asked curiously.
"I'm going to Shuyu's place. Deoksun and Taek are there now."
Sunwoo pointed to Seowoo's house.
"Oh! By the way, Sunwoo."
"Tell your mother."
"Are Seo-woo and Deok-sun dating?"
Sun-young suddenly remembered the topic of their conversation.
"Huh? Who told you that?" Sunwoo didn't answer, but asked in return.
"No one said it, it's just that we saw Deok-sun and Seo-woo getting along so well, and we wondered if they were dating."
Sun-young replied.
"Oh, well... they'll tell us if they're dating."
"Don't worry unnecessarily."
Sunwoo made an excuse.
"Really, don't hide it from me. If anyone in the alley is dating, you have to tell me."
"Mom loves listening to gossip."
"Remember this!"
"You should tell me if you have a girlfriend."
Sun-young smiled and gave a word of advice.
"Hehe..." Sunwoo forced a laugh and quickly left.
Sunwoo: I wouldn't dare say that, I'm afraid you'd explode if you heard Bora's name...
As Sunyoung watched Sunwoo leave, her smiling face immediately turned awkward.
I was so embarrassed just now, that Cui Wusheng actually heard it.
"Ah~~"
Sun-young sighed and looked at the doorway again.
Even if both she and Choi Moo-sung were willing, she was afraid that Sun-woo would be heartbroken if he found out.
The mother and son, who used to share everything, now each harbored their own secrets and chose silence.
They were worried that the other person would get hurt, so they both chose to keep it a secret.
This profound love makes one willing to bear everything alone rather than let the other person worry about it.
