"After that... both Chuanmei and I were admitted to our ideal universities. Although we were not in the same university, we maintained close contact. After three years... at a party, I already knew Chuanmei had found a boyfriend in college, but I didn't expect her to have a child, who was already one year old. I was really surprised,"

Mother looked extremely astonished.

"It's not that strange... nowadays even high school students have children..." I said in a soft voice, feeling embarrassed.

"But... at that time, I just had a boyfriend, and I originally wanted to show off... but your father's appearance was far worse than others...”

Mother looked a bit regretful and sad.

"No wonder I look so ordinary, it's all because of Dad!"

I complained.

"Don't complain about your father," I was hit by Mother for some reason, and her serious eyes seemed to mean if I said one more word, she would beat me up.

"Mother, didn't you just regret it yourself?"

I said, rubbing the place on my head where she hit me.

"I didn't... don't try to slander me, you little brat..."

Mother was really cunning.

"The following year, I gave birth to you. Your father was always around me at that time, afraid that something might happen to me... I still remember how excited he was when you were born..."

Mother couldn't help but laugh, and I estimated that my father must have looked like a fool at that time.

"Why do I feel like you are talking bad about your father secretly?" Mother looked at me with a chilling smile and sharp eyes.

"No... I would never say bad things about Dad,"

I scratched my cheek and looked at the ceiling.

"But when I found out that you were a boy and you looked just like your father... I was really devastated. After all, I wanted a handsome boy. Why couldn't I have had a daughter? Sometimes I thought about it like that, but this is already a fact and it cannot be changed... so I had to accept it reluctantly..."

Mother sighed, and I immediately became very angry. If that's the case, then why did you give birth to me? If you wanted a handsome boy, why didn't you find a handsome husband?!

"Youjie, you seem very angry..."

Mother looked at me with a smile.

"How can I not be angry? It's like I shouldn't have been born into this world."

"Don't be angry, you've always been my good child..."

Mother patted my head and spoke to me like she was talking to a little child.

"Don't touch me... I'm in high school now, I'm not a kid anymore,"

I blushed and removed her hand not so gently.

"Ah, you're right... Youjie is in high school now, not a kid anymore..."

Mother suddenly sighed.

"That's why I'm so worried... You're so ordinary-looking, and not good at interacting with girls, always staying at home and not going out, completely useless. How can you escape the fate of being single?"

Mother said with a headache.

"Am I really that terrible? I've been working hard..."

"So, arranging you for a marriage is the wisest choice. God closes a door but opens a window for you..."

Mother said excitedly.

"But it's all thanks to Chuanmei who doesn't mind your appearance. If it wasn't for her, there wouldn't be a marriage, and Zhiye marrying you is really a step down for her,"

Are you helping them or your own family? Am I really that bad?

"So, just accept it gratefully. There's no objection, right? From now on, Zhiye will stay with us for an unlimited time to become a qualified wife... Besides, your father and I are going abroad for a while, and she'll take care of everything at home,"

"What? Mother, you're going abroad with Dad?"

I asked in surprise.

"Of course, do you have any objections?" Mother's smile suddenly disappeared.

"No... Just go wherever you want..."

I felt uncomfortable about the sudden trip abroad.

"I know you'll miss me... but we can always keep in touch by phone."

Mother smiled again.

"I won't miss you at all! When you're not here, I'll be much more comfortable,"

I replied nonchalantly.

"Really?... But don't go too far, and don't do anything about having children,"

"Who would do that!"

It's really annoying.

"Okay... let's end the conversation here. We should go out now, so Zhiye doesn't wait too long, and it's time to make dinner,"

Mother was about to open the door, and I suddenly remembered something, and said: "No... I have a girl I like already. How can I still have a fiancée or something..."

After I finished, Mother turned around in shock.
