"If it's really because of this..." Xiao Yao blurted out.

"Are you also joining Christianity? It makes no sense," Yu Lihua said: "The foundation is not stable. Pretending to become a believer in order to get married is just a formality. In the future, your attitude towards life and marriage will still be that of a foreigner."

Thinking, this will be a big destabilizing factor.”

"Auntie, you are thinking too far," Xiao Yao's neck turned red: "We are only in high school -"

"Yes, I'm just a high school student. Marriage is too far away." Yu Lihua's eyes crossed Xiao Yao's back and cast into the unknown void: "So, just fall in love as much as you want. As for the consequences of

What consequences and what responsibilities you will have to bear in the future are not things you need to consider. This is the taste of youth, right?"

"That's not true, Auntie!" The young man looked a little angry: "Your idea is too biased."

"Oh?" Yu Lihua looked back at Xiao Yao's face with interest.

"First of all! Is your theory of blood origin consistent with the teachings?" Xiao Yao sounded a little excited: "The class is solidified, refusing to intermarry with newcomers, staying in the same place, and enclosing the territory. How to absorb new blood and how to develop? No matter where you are,

The next generation is always the future..."

Yu Lihua looked at Xiao Yao's righteous words and was a little stunned: "Did you think of these words yourself, or were they taught by Yu Luying?"

"Of course it's me—"

"Yes, Yu Luying should not be able to say these words." Yu Lihua nodded: "I am beginning to understand why my daughter only likes you." The word 'you' is still emphasized.

"What, like?..." Xiao Yao was stunned.

"I admit that what you said is correct, and I have even begun to appreciate you a little." Yu Lihua's eyes softened slightly: "By the way, your parents are no longer together?"

This sudden conversation caught Xiao Yao off guard: "Yes, how come you know everything?"

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to expose other people's scars," Yu Lihua said softly: "But I am a social science major. Statistics show that if a person's original family has an unhappy marriage, not only will his probability of having an unhappy marriage increase by 50%

, the friends around him are also easily affected - I can't take this risk anymore."

"Auntie," Xiao Yao clenched his fists: "Everyone is an independent individual. Everything depends on human beings. People's free will is very important and cannot simply be represented by probability..."

"So, do you want to tell me that you have already thought about how to marry her, how to give her a safe, stable and reliable future, and you will not leave her no matter poverty, illness, or anything else?

"Yu Lihua shook her drained coffee cup, and there was a hint of drunkenness in her tone.

"..." The young man was silent: "I don't know."

"Heh." Yu Lihua sighed softly: "You are honest."

"If it was two months ago or a month ago, I would have said yes without hesitation," the young man said hesitantly: "But now, I don't know. I don't know what the future will be like, so I can't promise it casually.

, But, I still don’t want to lose Yu Luying as a friend, and...and, I believe she also, she also..."

"It seems that you have really thought about it seriously, right?"

Before Xiao Yao could answer, Yu Lihua chuckled again: "Really, why am I telling you this? If they were the parents of other girls, they would never tell you this."

"Yes, Auntie," Xiao Yao said sincerely: "So I am also very grateful to you. Thank you for being willing to tell me your concerns and opinions, and thank you for being willing to listen to what I have to say..."

"Okay, you boy who doesn't even have full hair," Yu Lihua waved her hand: "Tell me, you didn't bully Yu Luying during the two weeks I was out of the country, right?"

"Absolutely not," Xiao Yao raised his right hand to the sky: "Respect each other as guests! - Ah, no, uh, I mean..."

"Okay, let's go back." Yu Lihua stood up: "It's getting late."

Xiao Yao still sat in his seat and hesitated for a few seconds: "Auntie, I still have something to say."

"Oh? Okay, you go ahead." Yu Lihua raised her eyebrows and sat down again.

"I have something to ask you," Xiao Yao lowered his head and said, "It's my fault that I secretly came to your house while you were not at home. You can blame me however you want. I just hope you can promise me.

, don’t hit her again this time.”

"Who told you that I hit her?" Yu Lihua's face darkened again and her voice rose an octave.

"..."

"Forget it, who else could it be?" Yu Lihua smiled bitterly: "I understand."

"You agreed? That's great!" Xiao Yao said happily: "Also, I have been thinking about this for a long time when I tell you this today. In fact, Yu Luying doesn't have many friends in school. Apart from me, she has almost no male friends.

No, during this period of time when you are not here, I feel that her overall condition has improved a lot and she is very relaxed, whether she is in school or in——"

"It seems that not only tonight, you have been together all this time, right?" Yu Lihua asked quietly.

"No, no, it's mainly because of the state of being at school..." Xiao Yao waved his hands repeatedly, realizing that he was getting carried away.

"Xiao Yao, do you think I'm giving you a face?" Yu Lihua's tone became cold again, and her eyebrows knitted: "You already want to interfere in our mother-daughter relationship? She hasn't married you yet!"

"Auntie, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that -"

"You don't mean that, what do you mean?" Yu Lihua said angrily: "You mean, my daughter wishes I wasn't at home, so that my daughter would be happy if I wasn't around?!"

"Auntie, she didn't say that. Don't think so." Xiao Yao held his head with both hands.

Yu Lihua stood up and opened the door of the coffee shop.

A gust of wind chimes accompanied the night wind, making Yu Lihua feel a little awake.

She took a deep breath and left without looking back.
