Chapter 138 - 137 Scratching an Itch Through the Boot
After dinner, Zhao Meimei’s family stayed until after eight o’clock in the evening before taking a taxi home.
Before leaving, Zhao Meimei pulled her Brother Yangyang into the bedroom, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go. Shi Yang felt his heart melt with warmth, restrained himself from fully embracing her, afraid that someone might notice, and gave her lips two light pecks, making himself feel unsatisfied.
After seeing them off, Shi Yang lay in bed that night, helping himself through two rounds of self-comfort, finally feeling that the itchiness and numbness in his heart were slightly alleviated.
His body was comfortable, and he began to concentrate on thinking about what to do next.
To keep Zhao Meimei, he needed to first work on convincing his parents. He couldn’t mention the private vows between him and Zhao Meimei from before; he could only steer it towards the friendship between the elders.
His mother never had much of a say; as long as his father nodded, the matter would be settled.
Thinking of his father, Shi Yang immediately felt a deep sense of helplessness. His father was too shrewd. If he took this matter upon himself, he couldn’t guarantee that his father wouldn’t notice anything. Meimei was still too young; he didn’t want to bring this matter to light yet. He thought of waiting a couple of years until his career stabilized, and Zhao Meimei also grew up, before making an official announcement.
When it came to everything, Shi Yang always subconsciously planned well, taking steady steps from handling to completing things in an orderly manner.
So for something that might have variables, he almost instinctively wanted to avoid it.
Shi Yang’s mind was in chaos; he and his father were not close enough to have heart-to-heart chats, and he wasn’t the type of person to easily lay out his feelings. In a sense, he was even a bit solitary, mostly concerned with appearances in interactions with outsiders. The ones he was truly sincere with were his mother, Zhao Meimei, and Qu Chaozong.
