Shi Yaling’s hair was neatly coiffed as she carried her handbag while staring directly at Chu Yu. “Come here.”

Chu Yu didn’t move and instead looked at Lu Shi first, saying with a steady voice, “There are chairs there, sit and wait for me, I’ll be back soon.”

Lu Shi also saw Shi Yaling. He withdrew his line of sight, didn’t say anything further, and just replied, “Mn, okay.”

Pulling on the strap of his bag, Chu Yu walked towards Shi Yaling’s location.

The first image popping into his mind was when Shi Yaling had come to the school because of the cheating incident. In the school’s small conference room, Shi Yaling had turned around and walked out, stepping on the marble floor with her high heels making crisp ‘ta’ sounds.

Chu Yu stopped in front of Shi Yaling.

Assistant Catherine had already tactfully backed away.

Standing on the edge of the lawn, Chu Yu looked at Shi Yaling’s face through the dim light of the street lamps before finally moving his lips. “Mom, long time no see.”

He paused for a moment then commented, “You seem to have lost some weight.”

He calculated in his heart how long he hadn’t seen Shi Yaling. But after doing the calculations, he found that he simply couldn’t figure it out.

He merely knew it’d been a long time since they’d seen each other.

Shi Yaling maintained her usual calm and composure without flying into a rage or rebuking. Rather, she stated, “I had a meeting nearby and Catherine reminded me today was Friday.”

Only her cold, hard voice revealed her suppressed and restrained anger.

Chu Yu answered naturally, “So you decided to come pick me up?”

Habitually raising her chin 15 degrees, Shi Yaling stood perfectly straight. “Yes. I didn’t expect to see such a scene.”

Shi Yaling didn’t inquire who it was, what their relationship was, nor what they were doing. She already had a definite answer in her heart.

Chu Yu didn’t even think about fooling her by saying that it was a classmate or friend, and that they were just joking earlier.

On the contrary, Chu Yu was very calm. Or perhaps, he’d already visualized this scene numerous times.

He coolly stated, “I apologize, I didn’t prepare you mentally and let you witness such a sight so suddenly.”

He spoke quite formally.

Such a tone existing between mother and son seemed strange.

Chu Yu thought, or maybe, this attitude was simply the most appropriate?

After all, his mother needed an assistant’s reminder to remember that her son’s school was nearby, and since it was Friday he could go home for two days during the weekend.

Shi Yaling noticed Chu Yu’s attitude which made her frown. “Aren’t you going to explain?”

“There’s nothing to explain.”

Chu Yu became increasingly calmer. “As you’ve seen earlier, I’m in a relationship. I have someone I like— someone of the same gender as me. I love him very much and I’m not going to break up with him.”

After Chu Yu finished speaking, he felt very relaxed. He directly met Shi Yaling’s gaze, without any guilt or evasion.

Even he himself was a little surprised that he could be so brave.
