Youth is a time of innocence and confusion, and there's always someone who matters to you, be it a friend or someone you have feelings for. Those who haven't experienced it will never know that once you leave the school gates, there are some people you'll inevitably never see again.
Not to mention the farewell dinner coming up soon; if half of Su He's class turns up, that'd be considered good. If the relationships are just so-so or not in touch often, generally, you forget most within a year.
"Brother, brother~ can I sit in your passenger seat? Your girlfriend won't get mad, right?"
"Brother, won't your girlfriend get jealous if she finds out you came specifically to pick me up?"
"Brother, if you give me flowers, your girlfriend won't beat me up, right? She's so scary, not like me, I'd just feel sorry for you."
Su Qing: ...
At this moment, Su Qing's forehead was twitching. Clearly, he was suppressing his anger because, after all, he was a seasoned driver and couldn't afford to drive with a fighting spirit.
But Su He, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was crazily testing the edge of destruction. The "crazy literature" style was no longer enough for her, and she began adopting a "green tea" style.
"Let me tell you, don't think I won't dare to hit you just because you've finished your college entrance exam!"
"Besides, this is Dad's car, and you're sitting in Dad's passenger seat. It has nothing to do with me!" Su Qing said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Su He pretended to exclaim, "Ah, that's true, do you think Dad has a girlfriend outside?"
"There's a dashcam in the car. I'll show it to Mom and Dad later to see our family's filial daughter." Su Qing remained unmoved and said with a sidelong glance.
He smirked, having eaten a few more years of rice, there's no way he'd be easily ensnared by such small tactics. Su He was still a little inexperienced in trying to set him up.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Su He immediately fell silent, putting on an image of a well-behaved girl.
Seeing this, Su Qing couldn't help but feel exhausted.
At 6:30 in the evening, the two finally arrived home. At this time, Old Su and Zhou Hui were already waiting downstairs.
"You're back! Come in quickly, today, I personally cooked to celebrate the end of your college entrance exams," Zhou Hui said excitedly.
At this, the siblings were taken aback. Mom cooking was not a good sign, after all, it was usually Old Su who cooked at home.
The siblings simultaneously looked at their father, the head of the family, only to see Old Su's face full of sorrow, his expression as splendid as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Soon, the family of four sat at the dining table. The table was full of dishes, at least they looked decent since it was a celebration. Da Huang, who hadn't had one for a long time, got a chicken leg and was happily eating it on the side.
However, the four people at the table felt somewhat awkward.
"Eat up! Finally, you two have graduated, so your mom is liberated. Why aren't you eating?" Zhou Hui asked, looking satisfied at the three members of the Su family.
Hearing this, the three of them quickly grabbed the dishes, especially Old Su, who started on the fried egg with tomatoes in front of him.
Su Qing and Su He, the siblings, each ate the boiled fish and stir-fried pork with green peppers.
Seeing this, Zhou Hui eagerly asked, "How does it taste with Mom cooking today?"
Hearing this, the siblings quickly gave a thumbs up.
"Delicious, delicious. Mom's culinary skills have improved lately. The boiled fish is great, very appetizing!"
"Yes, yes, the stir-fried pork with peppers is just right, better than even the restaurants outside."
Faced with her children's praise, Old Su smiled slightly and then looked at the siblings, "You're grown up now, and your sister has finished her college entrance exams. You're adults now, and you must be honest in society. We are family, what can't you say?"
"I'll comment first, the fried egg with tomatoes, the eggs are too hard, and the tomatoes lost their flavor with too much heat. It's a failure!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hui nodded rarely, "Indeed, the heat was a bit off. I'll take note next time."
Seeing such a reasonable mom, the siblings were stunned. Was this the same person even the family dog had to respect in the past?
Su Qing thought for a bit and cautiously said, "The boiled fish had too much salt, a bit salty, but still qualified, keep it up."
Zhou Hui nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, I'll take note and use less salt in the future."
Hearing this, Su He became spirited, spat the meat from her mouth into the trash under the table, and then loudly said:
"This stir-fried pork with green peppers, the meat slices are too hard, too thick, not cooked at all, the peppers are burnt, all it tastes like is char, too much salt, with soy sauce, it's unbearable..."
Before she could finish, Zhou Hui slammed her hand on the table, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Where's all this talk? You've just finished your exams, don't force me to hit you!"
Su He: ...
With this, the family's youngest looked pitifully at her brother and father, only to see Old Su chuckle, "I made the tomatoes, the rest were all cooked by your mom! Haha!"
Hearing this, Su He's eyes widened, and she looked at her brother, Su Qing, who remained calm. He had long realized through the aside what was happening. After all, the boiled fish he ate was also hard to put into words, but he had forced himself not to speak the truth.
It must be said, this father had a rebellious streak.
Ultimately, only the family's youngest took all the blame.
Afterwards, a strange scene appeared at the dinner table, the boiled fish, stir-fried pork with green peppers, sweet and sour ribs, and other dishes remained untouched, but the rice and some purchased deli items were devoured completely.
After the meal, while Zhou Hui went to the bathroom, Old Su frowned and said:
"Alright then, later Dad will take you two out for a nice meal, you should have survived this dinner since your mom made it gritting her teeth, we had to medicate ourselves just to eat."
Upon hearing this, the siblings' faces turned red as they tried hard not to burst into laughter.
"Daughter, what plans do you have after your exams?" Zhou Hui asked when she returned and noticed something strange with the three Su family members.
At this, Su He quickly composed herself and thought for a moment before finally saying, "Not much of a plan, but I do want to go on a graduation trip, haven't decided where yet, and also get a driver's license."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, after all, their family was well-off, and a graduation trip was a normal requirement. He himself went on a trip back then, though it was a half-month tour of internet cafes.
"Alright, Mom agrees, getting a driver's license is serious business, no rush. But if you travel, make sure you're safe," Zhou Hui immediately agreed with her daughter's idea, then continued, "Since we've raised you and your brother till college, there are some things Mom has to tell you."
The sudden serious tone left the siblings stunned.
"Mom, you're not about to tell us that Su He isn't actually your biological child, and now her real parents have come to claim her, right? Quick, let them reunite!" Su Qing said excitedly, slapping his knee.
Su He: ...
Zhou Hui: ...
Su Hongye: ...
