Chapter 658 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Cen Yi had imagined what it would be like for her son to be in a relationship, but being caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events left her feeling awkward and speechless.
Do I need to prepare this when going out to hang out with regular friends?
Preparing is one thing, but preparing so many boxes...
What else could this be but dating?
Cen's mother took a deep breath to calm her shock and embarrassment, then quickly looked away from the object and hurriedly folded the clothes a few times.
She understands everything, she understands everything.
After all, my son is already so grown up; he's an adult.
Whether he wants to be in a relationship or wants to grow up, it's his freedom.
However, Cen Yi really wanted to say something to break the awkwardness between mother and son, but she really didn't know what to say.
It wasn't until Bai Chengci took the initiative to step forward and casually put the items into the suitcase that the situation became clear.
Cen Yicai finally couldn't help but speak up: "Son, you, you take him with you when you go out, take him with you..."
She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Bai Chengci understood what she meant, and her expression didn't change much after hearing it.
He slowly and methodically packed his things away, and only after putting them away did he hum in agreement.
Cen Yi chuckled awkwardly, a rare occurrence for her. A whole host of curious questions immediately popped into her head, so she started by asking, "So, you're dating someone? Is it someone from your school?"
Bai Chengci finished tidying up and turned around. Seeing her mother's gossipy face, she took the clothes back from her mother's hands and said indifferently, "We haven't talked about it yet."
“We didn’t even talk about you guys…” Cen Yi said subconsciously, glancing at the contents of her suitcase with a rather complicated look in her eyes.
Although she knows that young people nowadays are very outgoing, her thinking is still quite traditional.
Under her influence, her son probably won't go too far astray.
However, those boxes proved that his son was not only outrageous, but also extremely wild.
Cen Yi coughed twice, remembering that he had changed his clothes when he came back last time, and said with a slightly serious tone, "This won't do, son. Although Mom doesn't object to you dating, there are some boundaries you shouldn't cross too early. You're a boy, so you won't suffer much, but this isn't good for the girl..."
Upon hearing the word 'girl,' Bai Chengci frowned and retorted with a single word: 'No.'
Cen Yi: "..."
What?
Do you think what she said is wrong, but you still insist on trying forbidden fruit?
It took Cen Yi a long time to find her voice before she tried to reason with him: "Son, listen to Mom, this matter..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Chengci suddenly interrupted her calmly, saying in a serious tone, "We will talk."
Cen Yi looked at him with slight confusion, "Hmm?"
Bai Chengci reiterated expressionlessly, "I will talk to him."
A meeting? That's good, that's good.
Cen Yi thought her son was going to be a scumbag who would deny everything after getting back together, but when she heard him say that, a smile appeared on her face.
"If you're going to talk to them, then you have to take responsibility for them, understand?"
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes slightly upon hearing this, and replied, "Mm."
Cen Yi was quite happy. After thinking for a moment, she remembered his unusual behavior a while ago, so she gave him a reproachful look and smiled gently, "When I asked you last time, you said you weren't dating. Were you too embarrassed to tell Mom?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're an adult now, and Mom won't object to you dating."
Since he hadn't been home for the past few days, Cen Yi immediately connected this matter with his relationship with him.
No wonder his son is increasingly drawn to the outside world; it turns out he's found someone he likes.
Cen Yi saw through her and asked, "So you've been spending all these past few days with him?"
Bai Chengci nodded slightly, recalling their interactions over the past few days, her expression softening almost imperceptibly for a moment.
"Ah."
Cen Yi noticed that moment of tenderness.
Anyway, she rarely sees her son like this, so it seems she really likes him.
She thought back to what he had said on the phone: that someone had made noodles for him, cooked porridge for him, and taken good care of him, even taking him home…
She felt something was off when she heard it.
Sure enough, something was wrong.
Thinking about what her son had said, Cen Yi felt even more that the other person was a gentle and considerate girl.
"Quick, tell Mom what kind of girl she is?" Cen Yi asked. "Do you have a photo? If so, show it to Mom."
Bai Chengci thought for a moment, took out her phone, opened the photo album, and then calmly handed it to her.
Cen Yi was full of anticipation for the girl her son liked.
However, when she took the phone and looked at the handsome young man in the racing suit in the photo, she was immediately stunned.
After being stunned for a dozen seconds, Cen Yi thought her son had given her the wrong photo, so she swiped the photo to the right, but it was still the same young man's photo.
So she scrolled through one photo after another, and without exception, every single one of the photos showed the same person.
Suddenly, Cen Yi seemed to realize something, and she looked up at Bai Chengci with disbelief in her eyes.
Bai Chengci remained calm as always, only telling her, "This is the person I like."
Cen Yi: "...A man?"
Bai Chengci suddenly smiled, as if admitting, "Yes, I like him."
On such an ordinary morning, her son calmly told her that he liked men.
Cen Yi took two steps back in shock, her brows furrowed tightly, almost dropping her phone from the shock of the news.
The joy and anticipation I felt just moments ago have instantly turned into surprise and disbelief.
Cen Yi remained silent for a long time before recovering from the news. Then she sighed and said in a complicated tone, "Son, how could you like men?"
Bai Chengci took two steps forward, retrieved her phone, and said, "I like him."
I said "I like him" three times.
Cen Yi could tell that her son genuinely liked it.
However, the situation was rather complicated. She wasn't ready to accept it when her son suddenly asked, "Mom, do you think he's handsome?"
Cen Yi was a little puzzled as to why he asked that, but still nodded honestly: "He's quite a handsome kid."
The mother understands her son, and the son understands his mother as well.
Cen Yi is an artist, and she has her own unique pursuit of beautiful things.
Whether it's about a matter or a person.
So Bai Chengci asked, "Mom, don't you like him?"
Thinking about the photo she had just seen, Cen Yi coughed lightly and said, "Well, it's not that I don't like it..."
She is indeed a very good-looking child.
My son's aesthetic sense is indeed similar to mine.
Bai Chengci took it as a yes and said, "I'm glad you like it, thank you for your kindness, Mom."
Cen Yi: "..."
For a moment, she was unsure what to say—whether to oppose or support.
However, before she could make up her mind, she saw her son's face suddenly darken, and he lowered his eyes and said, "But he doesn't want to be with me."
Cen Yi: "?"
Bai Chengci's eyelashes trembled, and her voice weakened: "I like him, but he doesn't like me as much, and he's unwilling to talk to me..."
Cen Yi was even more troubled after hearing this. After a moment of silence, she analyzed for him, "What if the other person doesn't like boys?"
“He likes her,” Bai Chengci said. “I still know her ex-boyfriend.”
"..."
Bai Chengci quietly recounted, "There are always many people around him, and they all want to take him from me. I have no choice..."
Cen Yi: "So you prepared all this?"
Bai Chengci: "Mm."
Cen Yi rarely saw him so down. She immediately snapped out of her complicated emotions and comforted him with heartache, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, kid, take it slow."
“Back when I was pursuing your dad, he was also very difficult to win over. I also pursued your mom for a long time before I finally got her. Besides, I think that kid is willing to let you stay at his house, so he must have some feelings for you too.”
As Bai Chengci listened to her words of comfort, something flickered in her lowered eyes.
Cen Yi, completely unaware that she was being led by the nose, continued, "Don't be sad. I've been through this before. Trust me, he definitely has feelings for you too."
Bai Chengci tilted her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked very softly, "Really?"
Cen Yi patted his shoulder and casually agreed, saying, "Of course it's true. Listen to your mother, if you like her, go for it. No matter what, your mother will support you."
Bai Chengci's lips slowly curved into a suppressed smile as she whispered, "Thank you."
