Ye Yuchen rembered her mom’s expression back then; it was incredibly vivid, like she just won a million-dollar lottery.
"Chengcheng, I’m telling you, I’m old friends with that boy’s mom. Actually, long before you were born, us moms already made a pact. If we both had a son and a daughter, we’d pair the kids together.
Earlier, you were too young, so I didn’t ntion it. But now it’s great; my friend’s son is still single. You’ve just graduated from college, perfectly tid! It truly feels like destiny!"
At that ti, Ye Yuchen responded, "Mom, how old was that boy when you had ?"
"Um, let think, I think he was already four? Oh no, five? Oh dear, it’s around four or five!"
"That many years apart?"
"Well, back then my health wasn’t great, I had trouble conceiving. So when I had you, I was older, and it got delayed a bit! If I’d had you earlier, you’d have been similar in age. Four or five years, not much at all!"
"Four or five years and it’s still ’not much’? Mom, they say three years was a generational gap back in the day! Now it’s three months! How many generational gaps are between us? He’s basically an old man! I definitely won’t go on a date with him, much less marry him! Whatever this childhood betrothal is, it ans nothing to !"
"Oh, Chengcheng, trust your mom; that boy absolutely won’t let you down!" Her mom kept persuading her earnestly, "You have to et him to know if it’s suitable or not!"
"No way, what boy, he’s clearly an old man!"
"Not going? I’m telling you, if you don’t go, then after the New Year, quit your job, don’t think about going anywhere else!"
Mom went ballistic, so Ye Yuchen had to compromise.
But baby was bitter inside!
She was afraid of generational gaps!
What’s a generational gap?
It’s when you complint soone, saying, "Your clothes are so trendy," but they reply, "Where? They’re clearly dry."
Or you get your hair styled before visiting grandma for New Year, and as soon as you enter she exclaims, "This hair looks great today, like a chrysanthemum!!!"
Damn, do I really have to go on a date with an old man?
The way her mom was acting, it was just short of forcing marriage...
Because she was upset, Ye Yuchen ended up drinking a few glasses of beer and got tipsy.
Old classmates gathered, everyone was having fun, the private room was loud and lively, and soone suggested playing truth or dare.
After a few rounds, Ye Yuchen lost, while He Huahua won.
He Huahua was eager to stir things up and asked Ye Yuchen a very tricky question.
"So, Ye Yuchen, have you ever dreamt of doing that with a man?"
This question was a total knockout!
Answering yes would be awfully embarrassing.
Answering no, who’d believe it?
They’d definitely call her a phony.
So Ye Yuchen chose to pass on answering and opted for a dare instead.
Unexpectedly, the winner, also a bit tipsy tonight, said to Ye Yuchen, "So, I suggest this: later, when we go out to the club lobby, you need to say to the first man you see, ’I love you, do you love ?’ If he rejects you or says he doesn’t love you, you’re free!"
Everyone got excited.
That sounds fun!
Ye Yuchen took a deep breath, damn, what bad company, truly a bunch of lousy friends!
"I say, you all are just too ruthless!"
"Tsk, it’s not a dare if it’s not ruthless! Yuchen, go, go! Anyway, saying ’I love you’ won’t make you lose an arm! Besides, you can choose a handso guy to confess to, maybe you’ll have a romantic encounter, and you won’t need to go on a date with the old man!"
