Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1366, Section 586: A Love Story Between Parents? Tiger, Rise Up!
Xu Li quickly stepped forward to help her son up, her attitude hardening as she said, "Get dressed, we're going to the hospital now."

"Mom, you look..."

Wang Xiaohu was interrupted by Xu Li halfway through his sentence, "I trust the doctor."

Then Xu Li offered a tempting offer: "If you hurry up now, you might still make it to the concert tonight. Getting an IV drip won't take long."

"If you really want to participate in tonight's concert, you should get better as soon as possible. In your current condition, do you think you can go on stage just by lying down tonight?"

Wang Xiaohu shut his mouth.

He was clearly swayed by his mother's suggestion. He thought that since Arlene had to attend classes during the day anyway, he might as well take this opportunity to visit his mother.

That way, he'll be feeling better when he gets back in the afternoon, and Arlene will definitely be happy. He can also try to give us a quality performance tonight.

"it is good!"

Xu Li was somewhat surprised to hear her son agree so readily.

"Then you should get dressed. I'll wait for you outside."

Still running a high fever, Wang Xiaohu moved somewhat slowly.

It's kind of creepy when the waistband of your pants rubs against your leg while you're wearing them.

It doesn't hurt, but it's very uncomfortable.

After finally getting dressed, Wang Xiaohu didn't forget to brush his teeth and wash his face before leaving.

He gave himself a sickly smile in the mirror. Although he had a fever, no one could understand the joy he felt at that moment.

Recalling the events of last night, Little Tiger followed his mother to the parking lot.

The first thing he did after getting on the bus was to ask his mother for her phone. "Mom, I need to send a message to Teacher Tang. I need to let everyone know."

Xu Li: "Why don't you just make a phone call?"

Wang Xiaohu pursed his lips: "Teacher Tang is probably in the classroom right now."

Taking the phone from his mother, Wang Xiaohu found Lao Tang's profile picture on WeChat.

Then start editing.

"Teacher Tang, this is Wang Xiaohu. My mom took me to the hospital for an IV drip. Could you please tell the students in Group 5 that I'll be back this afternoon? Oh, and Marco and A-Liu too! Thank you, Teacher Tang!"

Click Send.

Wang Xiaohu thought that this way, Alin would definitely find out.

After sending the message, Wang Xiaohu glanced to the side and saw that his mother's eyes were drooping badly, and he felt a pang of guilt.

He made his mother worry again.

"Don't worry, I'm going to the hospital anyway," he reassured me. "Besides, I feel much better now, and after an IV drip, I'll definitely be fine soon."

"Teacher Xu, please smile."

"Stunningly beautiful!"

Xu Li was eventually amused by her son, "He's always causing me trouble. How did he suddenly get a fever out of nowhere?"

This morning, Xu Li received a call and immediately drove over, she was extremely anxious the whole way.

Wang Xiaohu: "I don't know either. Maybe I'm going to grow taller. I grew three centimeters after I had a fever."

Xu Li: "I hope so. Did you turn on the air conditioner when you slept last night?"

Wang Xiaohu: "No, it was super cold last night."

moment.

Xu Li: "Does everyone know?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Not yet, let's wait a couple more days, sigh."

Xu Li: "How are you feeling right now?"

Wang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. Although it's a little uncomfortable, I think I'm ready."

Xu Li was surprised again. Her son seemed a bit down the night before last. "Well, it's just a change of learning environment. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Just then, his phone rang, and Wang Xiaohu quickly picked it up.

Don't worry! Everyone is hoping you get well soon!

Thank you, Teacher Tang! I'll head back this afternoon!

After replying to Lao Tang's message, Wang Xiaohu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he could finally relax completely.

"Mom, how soon do you think I'll be back?"

"I don't know either. Maybe you won't be able to hold on next year and will want to come back. That would be good too, as you can still make it to the high school entrance exam."

"Tch. Look down on people."

"Then let's wait and see."

The mother and son's conversation was interrupted by their phones again, but this time it wasn't a message, but a phone call.

"The teacher's phone call."

Xu Li lightly tapped the brake pedal. "You take it."

Wang Xiaohu nervously swiped the screen to answer, "Hello, teacher, are you surprised?"

Then Li An's concerned voice came through the phone, "What happened? Why did you suddenly get a fever?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I don't know either. I woke up with a fever, but it doesn't seem like a big problem. My mom is taking me to the hospital now, and I think I'll be fine by the afternoon. Where are you and your wife now, teacher?"

Ang Lee: "We're filming on location. You should go to the hospital right away. You know, your fever came at just the right time. Don't go back today. Stay home and rest for a few days."

Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu immediately switched to his charming and coquettish mode: "Teacher~ I'm really fine~ I have a concert tonight~~ I've been preparing for it for ages~~"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Go to the hospital first, we'll talk about tonight. Let's see what the doctor says first."

Wang Xiaohu: "Okay, teacher, you can rest assured and take photos with your wife. See you tonight! Mwah! Love you!"

After saying that, Wang Xiaohu hesitated for less than a second before hanging up the phone.

Xu Li frowned: "Let the teacher finish speaking."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "Can't you hear the teacher is busy? I don't want to cause him any trouble. With you next to me, what else does he have to worry about?"

As he spoke, Wang Xiaohu sighed inwardly. After learning everything, he had thought he would have a hard time facing his teacher.

But the phone call made him feel as if his relationship with his teacher was still the same as before.

Upon realizing that she had been kept in the dark for so long, she felt both happy and angry.

However, he couldn't blame the teacher for keeping it from him.

Arlene is right; teachers must have their own concerns.

If he had openly named Che Lin when the teacher asked him who his favorite girl was that afternoon, things would probably be very different today.

Based on the scene described by Arlene last night, the teacher did not seem to show any clear opposition.

Is this also a form of implicit acceptance?

Wang Xiaohu certainly didn't believe that the teacher supported this matter; that was absolutely impossible.

The teacher might simply choose a gentler approach.

Since the teacher can talk to Arlene about this like a friend, why can't she talk to him?

If he could display the same composure as Arlene, perhaps he could too.

Wang Xiaohu just has a fever, not amnesia. Next, he and Alin will go to their teacher to confess this.

This is something Arlene repeatedly emphasized last night.

Furthermore, Wang Xiaohu believed that he should stand bravely in front of Alin, just like a man, regarding this matter.

So, once the teacher fully understands the matter, wouldn't they communicate with the mother?

Based on Wang Xiaohu's experience, this was inevitable.

Ok.

So rather than letting my mom find out from the teacher, I'd rather just tell her the truth myself first.

Perhaps, as Marco said, communicating with parents about this issue is not a difficult thing.

Perhaps, as Arlene said, not communicating anything with her mother is itself a sign of a lack of responsibility.

"call!"

Wang Xiaohu let out a long shout, and Xu Li turned her head to take a look.

"I thought you were asleep."

"No, I was just thinking about some things."

"What are you thinking about? You can share it with me if you don't mind."

"Um—Mom, you and Dad met in college, right?"

Xu Li found this intriguing; what was going on all of a sudden? "Yes." Wang Xiaohu: "Did my dad have any other girlfriends before?"

Xu Li: "He said no."

Wang Xiaohu scoffed, "He says he doesn't have it, so he doesn't? Didn't you even do any investigation?"

Xu Lile: "Why should I investigate these things? What difference does it make if they exist, and what difference does it make if they don't?"

(°ロ°)! ! !

Wang Xiaohu: "That's not right! If he did, then he's just lying to you!"

Xu Li: "This kind of question can only fool people for a short time."

Wang Xiaohu: "What if you find out he's lying to you, and you're already together? What will you do then?"

Xu Li: "We broke up."

Wang Xiaohu exclaimed, "Wow, that's awesome! No wonder he's my mom: 'But what if he's just afraid you'll find out and you won't be with him anymore? Actually, he loves you very much.'"

Xu Li: "That won't work either. If he can lie to me once, he can lie to me a second time."

Wang Xiaohu silently gave his dad a thumbs up, "Luckily, my dad didn't lie to you, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."

Xu Li: "You think we've never broken up?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Huh?!"

Xu Li: "We broke up once before we graduated from university."

Wang Xiaohu: "Why?"

Xu Li: "He has a great job opportunity, but if he goes there, we'll be in a long-distance relationship."

Wang Xiaohu: "Who brought that up?"

Xu Li: "At that time, we were both suffering every day. In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, so I broke up with him."

Wang Xiaohu: "Then why didn't you go with him?"

Xu Li: "Because I don't want to go, and I have things I want to do myself."

Wang Xiaohu: "Then, if you go, you can be together."

Xu Li: "People are different, and feelings are not my top priority."

Wang Xiaohu: "Okay. So how did you two make up later?"

Xu Li sighed, "Your father ultimately gave up that opportunity."

Wang Xiaohu: "My dad still can't bear to part with you."

Xu Li: "Then we got married right away. Your grandfather thought I was too impulsive. Everyone in the family tried to persuade me, but I insisted. In the end, I didn't even ask for a bride price."

Wang Xiaohu: "Tsk tsk, wow, that's amazing!"

Xu Li: "Your dad deserves it."

Wang Xiaohu was taken aback, moved by his mother's words: "Sigh."

Xu Li glanced at the silver dolphin hanging on the rearview mirror and said, "That's life. Every choice you make can change your future."

“Sometimes I think that if your dad had insisted on leaving back then, none of this accidents would have happened.”

Wang Xiaohu gently comforted her, "Mom, don't be sad. Dad has always been here. If you don't believe me, look at the night sky tonight. The brightest star is him. He has always been watching over us silently."

Xu Li smiled, somewhat surprised: "You're quite romantic."

Wang Xiaohu: "I really believe it."

After a moment, she asked, "Mom, did you ever date before you met Dad?"

Xu Li: "No."

Wang Xiaohu expressed his doubt: "Impossible. How could someone as good-looking as you not have any suitors?"

Xu Li: "What does it matter? Just because someone is pursuing me doesn't mean I have to be in a relationship. What kind of brain do you have?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Then, then, you never liked anyone before you met my dad?"

Xu Li: "Yes, a boy transferred to our class in the second year of junior high. His surname was Zhang, but I can't quite remember his given name. At the time, I thought he was very handsome, well-mannered, and had good grades."

Wang Xiaohu: "Wow!"

Xu Li: "I liked him until the third year of junior high school, but I haven't seen him since the high school entrance exam."

Wang Xiaohu: "Just this one?"

Xu Li: "Mm."

a long time.

Wang Xiaohu muttered, "Speaking of which, I'll be in the second year of junior high soon, no, I should already be in the second year of junior high."

Xu Lile: "What? What's wrong with being in the second year of junior high? You want to date a foreign girlfriend?"

"What?!" Wang Xiaohu nearly choked on his words. "I'm not going to date any foreign girlfriends!"

"I only like girls from Chengdu!"

Xu Li nodded: "Girls from Chengdu are great, but they can be a bit feisty."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled: "Does being Black necessarily mean you have white teeth? Besides, so what if someone's feisty?"

Xu Li: "That makes sense. It seems you like feisty women."

Wang Xiaohu: "Kindness is the most important thing."

Xu Li: "Tsk tsk, you really are your father's good son, not a single word is wrong."

Wang Xiaohu: "Is it wrong to be kind-hearted?!"

Xu Li: "How can being kind-hearted be wrong? The question is, is that your primary criterion for finding a girlfriend in the future?"

Wang Xiaohu choked up. He felt that his mother was using a fallacy to change the subject, but he didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

Xu Li: "Shut up? How hypocritical!"

Wang Xiaohu smacked his lips twice: "Then we definitely have to look at other aspects, such as hobbies, personality, where they live, and of course, a little bit of appearance."

Xu Li: "For example, hobbies and interests."

Wang Xiaohu: "I study music, so I definitely hope that my partner also studies music, and preferably likes raising small animals."

Xu Li: "And your personality?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Be steady, preferably mature, have your own ideas and opinions on things, and be able to persist in doing something."

Xu Li: "Oh my, I didn't realize it was Wang Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu: "Just say what you have to say! It's no fun being sarcastic."

Xu Li: "How am I being sarcastic? I was just praising you. Please continue. You just said your home is in Chengdu, right?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Absolutely."

Xu Li: "So what kind of girl do you like?"

Wang Xiaohu felt like he was about to say Alin's name out loud.

After a moment of hesitation.

Tiger Brother has decided to rise up this time!
"mom."

"Ok?"

"I think I like someone like Che Lin."

After saying that, Wang Xiaohu's heart was pounding, and he really felt like his whole body was on fire.

I was internally screaming for my mom to say something!

"Good taste."

Xu Li nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, "You finally couldn't hold it in anymore."

"Linlin will definitely grow up to be a great beauty."

"Mom, if—and I mean if—I were to like her, would you find it strange?"

Xu Li frowned: "Why would I find it strange? Linlin is so outstanding, isn't it normal for you to like her? Besides, you're already fourteen years old, it would be strange if you didn't have a girl you like."

Wang Xiaohu was completely dumbfounded. What? Did his mother say that?
"That makes sense. So, Mom, do you think it's possible that Arlene might like me a little more?"

Xu Li hummed in agreement: "That's possible, after all, you're not too bad."

Wang Xiaohu did not retaliate verbally; instead, he fell silent.

Xu Li was wondering what was going on when she almost ran a red light.

"Then Mom, Arlene and I can be considered as a temporary couple."

I slammed on the brakes, and there was a screeching sound!
