Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Boom boom, boom boom.

Heartbeat.

Han Xijun doesn't have superpowers; he can't hear other people's heartbeats.

It's just a feeling.

The door was fully open.

Han Xijun's mother finally saw Wu Haiyuan.

Wu Haiyuan did not cover herself with the bouquet because she was nervous or shy.

She generously showed off her beautiful face with a bright smile, and the moment her eyes met Han Xijun's mother at the entrance, she politely bowed and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Wu Haiyuan."

Han Xijun's mother waved happily and said, "Finally, we've met Haewon-ssi! Come inside quickly, we'll talk inside."

They even stretched their hands out in front of Wu Haiyuan.

Wu Haiyuan reacted quickly, handing over the bouquet and saying, "This is for your aunt."

Han Xijun's mother happily accepted the bouquet without giving Han Xijun or his father any face, saying, "How did you know I like flowers? It's a pity no one usually gives me flowers." Wu Haiyuan glanced at Han Xijun.

That shouldn't be the case.

She herself had received flowers from Han Xijun, proving that Han Xijun would send flowers, so how could he not have sent flowers to her mother?

We went inside.

Entrance hall.

Han Xijun introduced, "Let me introduce you, this is my father."

"Dad, this is my girlfriend, Wu Haiyuan."

"Hello, Uncle, I am Wu Haiyuan."

"Hello, hello, welcome to my home."

It was a normal welcome, but Mom wasn't satisfied and forcefully changed the subject, asking, "Haiyuan, were you born in 03?"

After changing into slippers, Wu Haiyuan pulled his mother away.

Han Xijun and his father were left standing in the entryway. The father shrugged and said, "I can't control your mother."

Han Xijun simply smiled.

Who can control that?

When he went to Wu Haiyuan's house yesterday, Wu Haiyuan's mother was in a similar state.

Fortunately, Dad was gentler than Wu Haiyuan's dad was yesterday.

I carried the things into the living room.

Wu Haiyuan gave the gifts to his parents first.

I gave my mother a beautiful silk scarf and a coat.

What Dad gave me was a philosophy book and a tie.

All of these were carefully selected and prepared by Wu Haiyuan.

Just like Han Xijun bought a tie clip worth less than 50,000 yuan because Wu Haiyuan's father had to wear a tie to work.

Although Han Xijun's father doesn't need to wear a suit and tie to class, giving him a tie as a gift is certainly appropriate. Other gifts include supplements, like red ginseng, which is beneficial to health.

The skincare products are from the brand that Wu Haiyuan is currently using.

The living room is completely polarized.

Han Xijun was talking to his father about how to use the samples every day.

Wu Haiyuan was talking to his mother about the effects of skincare products, etc.

Throughout the entire time, Han Xijun's mother held Wu Haiyuan's hand.

I've never heard of mutual flattery in business.

Wu Haiyuan has a sweet tongue and always says that his mother has good skin. Han Xijun inherited more of his mother's beauty.

I wonder if this girl has specifically studied this subject.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be handled well, while the father-in-law usually likes his daughter-in-law and does not need to be deliberately maintained.

My mother would praise me immediately whenever she thought of something, without delaying for even a second.

As if afraid Han Xijun and her father wouldn't hear her, she mentioned that she usually felt isolated and helpless, with no one to talk to about skincare products, and now that Wu Haiyuan was here, she finally had reinforcements. There was no particular rhythm to the conversation.

They never mentioned anything about Wu Haiyuan's parents or family.

The meaning is that it doesn't matter what Wu Haiyuan's family does; what matters is that she has already decided on Wu Haiyuan.

Wu Haiyuan felt it very clearly.

Before coming, she thought that because of Han Xijun, his parents would probably like her.

But I didn't expect my liking for it to be so obvious and so intense.

The atmosphere was so lively that Wu Haiyuan, who was initially tense, completely relaxed within five minutes of entering the room.

I went to the kitchen with my mother.

The scene of chatting and laughing while helping out in the kitchen was a stark contrast to the silence in the living room.

In front of the kitchen counter.

Wu Haiyuan didn't help with anything; his mother had already prepared almost everything that needed to be prepared.

Looking at the two people in the living room who weren't communicating, the mother lowered her voice and said to Wu Haiyuan, "You see, I'm always this helpless at home. Neither of them likes to talk. No matter how much I say, they only reply with one sentence, no, more often than not, just a few words." Wu Haiyuan also lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, I felt that the first time I met Han Xijun."

"Are you still using honorifics?"

"No, not at all."

"Just call him by his name. Wait, don't you have any nicknames for him?"

Wu Haiyuan said with some surprise, "Auntie knows so much!"

Mom smiled and said, "When I'm bored, I can only watch TV dramas. I really like watching the show 'We Got Married.' Later, you and Hee-joon appeared on '72 Hours of Blind Date,' which I watched more than ten times."

"Really? Auntie?"

"Seriously, when I watched 'We Got Married' before, I hoped that Hee-joon could participate in a show like that, and I never thought my wish would come true."

"You know Hee-joon's shortcomings, and I've always been worried about them."

"A drawback?"

"Well, to put it nicely, they're very economical with words; to put it bluntly, they can't seem to get anything out of their mouths for ages, like they're sick and it's frustrating to watch."

Wu Haiyuan could hardly believe what he was hearing. Weren't all children in their mothers' eyes the best children in the world? How could Han Xijun be like this in his mother's eyes?

And she even asked herself, "Aren't you afraid I might have other ideas?"

Han Xijun's mother added, "But this is also an advantage; it's the same for everyone else. There's no need to worry about them outside..."

She was completely different from the mother Wu Haiyuan had imagined.

She dares to speak her mind even more than her own mother.

That's not the point. What Han Xijun's mother said to Wu Haiyuan next was, "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to handle things. Once you learn it, you'll be in charge of this family."

"This home?"

"It's your and Hee-joon's little home, so of course we're the ones who call the shots in this home."

"Auntie, that's not what I meant."

"It's okay, that's what I meant. Does Hee-joon usually talk to you a lot? Not when we're filming a show, but in general, when we're filming, I can tell that Hee-joon is just going along with the show's effect."

Wu Haiyuan said very seriously, "When we were recording the show, he told me that what he said on the show was what he had said in about six months. Later, when we were together, he talked a lot more than when we first met."

"Is it a lot?" "Yes, it's a lot. They don't just say one or two words."

"Haiyuan, will he call you first?"

Wu Haiyuan nodded.

At the same time, she observed Han Xijun's mother's facial expressions and reactions.

This is a difficult problem to deal with.

If Han Xijun never contacts his mother and only contacts her, his mother will definitely be heartbroken when she finds out, and it will indirectly affect her relationship with Han Xijun's mother.

Fortunately, Han Xijun's mother nodded and said, "Knowing to call you first proves that he is much better than his father. In the future, if he doesn't take the initiative to contact you, you should contact him first when you have time. I don't mean you have to take the initiative to say that you miss him or anything."

"When you call him, just ask. Make sure you get the upper hand and make him feel guilty. Remember, let him arrange all the dates. Don't worry about it. This is also a way to test how deep his feelings for you are."

"Also, you need to take care of your own career. Don't let cooperating with him affect your work. If you don't want to go out during your rest time, don't force yourself. Let him find a way to accompany and take care of you."

"Auntie, this..."

"Haiyuan, listen to me, you won't regret it. Listening means learning, and learning means trying. If you encounter any problems, we'll call you anytime. This family is just you and me; everyone else is just a side effect."

"Huh?" "Anyway, that's the gist of it. Let's eat and chat. You can drink, right? Let's have a drink together at noon."
