Chapter 58 by ryuxenji

On the way home, Tang Yi-Bai's breathing was light and easy. Every time he looked at Yun Duo, his gaze would linger a little. Yun Duo really could not take it and so did not dare to look at him.

They arrived home slightly after 9pm. The Tang couple was still awake. Madam Lu was on the couch playing games on a while Daddy Tang was sitting beside her watching tv. The tv was currently broadcasting a basketball game. Madam Lu said "water" and Daddy Tang quickly took a cup half-filled with water from the coffee table and passed it to her. After se finished drinking the water, she passed it back to him and he placed it back on the coffee table.

The two existed in great harmony.

When Tang Yi-Bai and Yun Duo returned, the husband and wife on the sofa perceptively noticed the rose in Yun Duo's hand. The couple exchanged a meaningful look.

Tang Yi-Bai said, "Dad, Mum, I have something to announce."

Madam Lu set down the PD and asked, "You two are together now?"

Yun Duo blushed and looked down.

Daddy Tang laughed and said, "You two little brats. There's no need to brag about ending your single life in front of a married couple. Anyway, this sort of thing is so easy to guess, did you really need to announce it? Tell us something we can't guess."

Tang Yi-Bai facepalmed. "Yun Duo, you go."

Yun Duo said, "Uncle, Auntie, Tang Yi-Bai has actually saved my life. The little kid he saved at Qixia Mountain when he was 7 years old was me."

The married couple seemed stunned by the news. They sat motionless on the sofa, staring at Yun Duo in astonishment.

Yun Duo said softly, "It's true."

"So you're saying that," Daddy Tang looked rather dazed, "Doudou saved you when you were little, and then the both of you came to the same city, and then you just so happened to rent a room with us?"

"Yes, that's basically it."

Daddy Tang rubbed his chest. "It feels like God is helping us to choose a daughter-in-law! If we don't let you two be together, will we be struck by lightning?"

"Cough."

Even someone as calm as Madam Lu found herself speechless for a long while. Yun Duo left them to digest the news while she went off to take a shower. After running around all day, she felt grimy, and with all the emotional ups and downs, she was really feeling quite tired now.

Tang Yi-Bai sat on the sofa, snacking on grapes from the fruit platter on the coffee table. Er-Bai sat beside Tang Yi-Bai and stared intently at him. With a flick of his finger, a grape flew — .

"Doudou," Daddy Tang came seeking gossip. "You and Yun Duo, who confessed first?"

Even though Madam Lu did not ask the question, she also perked up her ears in interest.

Tang Yi-Bai smiled with downturned eyes, "She kissed me first."

"Ah!" Daddy Tang's jaw dropped. "Wouldn't have guessed that Yun Duo would be so brave."

Madam Lu's eyes narrowed. Looking at her son's smug face, she suddenly said, "Yun Duo ran off to look for you this afternoon saying that she wanted to tell you about the time you saved her life. And then your dad just asked who was the first to confess, but your reply is who kissed who first. So now, it begs the question, did Yun Duo kiss you by her own initiative, or was she pushed into it?"

Although he knew that his mum was meticulous with details, Tang Yi-Bai was still a little frightened at her perceptiveness at this moment. "Mum, can you please not?"
