Chapter 520: Meeting Chu Xia’s Parent

After hanging up the call with her mom, Chu Xia carefully looked left and right. When she realized that there was really no one around, she put her palms together, placed them in front of her forehead and prayed as she said, “Mr. CEO, you’ve definitely got to forgive me. I had no choice…”

Previously, when Chu Xia and her mom went to sell the film rights, Qu Xiaomeng told Chu Xia about Su Yang’s “secret affair”. Hence, Chu Xia frantically made a call and sent a message. Unexpectedly, her quick-witted mom noticed something amiss and followed her out.

Since then, Chu Xia’s mom would call Chu Xia whenever she was free and talk about things like “girls should have a certain level of vigilance”, “how to reject boys’ unreasonable requests”, “how to avoid pregnancy”, “how to maintain a girl’s health” and other weird topics.

In fact, she had tried to get Su Yang to meet her several times, even going so far as to think of meeting Su Yang behind Chu Xia’s back.

That made Chu Xia both embarrassed and angry.

At her age, even though she knew a lot of things, she could not just talk to her mom about those topics like that.

Furthermore, she was not in a relationship with Su Yang and was not even anxious about it. Therefore, she was wondering why her mom was so anxious about it.

On top of that, her mom was getting more and more overboard. Hence, Chu Xia chatted with her mom frankly and honestly. She said that her relationship with Su Yang was close to being definite yet. Furthermore, Su Yang was busy with work and did not have much time to attend school. Hence, he was not someone that she could touch even if she wanted to, only then did her mom’s curiosity about her future son-in-law get dispelled.

However, Chu Xia’s mom wasn’t an ordinary person. She said that she definitely believed Chu Xia, but she just wanted to meet Su Yang. In her opinion, it was better if they weren’t together, she could then meet him in advance to help Chu Xia assess him.

Immediately, Chu Xia fled the scene.

After escaping, Chu Xia didn’t even dare to return home. However, Chu Xia’s mom had a lot of free time running her café. Whenever she had time, she would chat with Chu Xia. As they were chatting, Chu Xia’s mom would change the topic to Su Yang again and probe about him continuously.

Chu Xia had been nagged by her for almost a month until finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and made an appointment with her mom. Chu Xia would let her mom meet Su Yang once, but her mom was not allowed to probe any further after that! She wasn’t even allowed to bother her about that any longer!

Chu Xia’s mom agreed…

Hence, that was why Chu Xia asked Su Yang out on that day.

After praying for Su Yang, Chu Xia added softly, “I told you before that my mom runs a café. Don’t blame me if you didn’t use your brains.”

After finding herself some consolation, Chu Xia instantly felt much happier.

She then ran back to the dormitory and started to try on some clothes for her date with Su Yang.

At around 1pm, Su Yang drove to the entrance of the school and picked up Chu Xia. He then followed the GPS and headed to a place called Summer Cafe.

Su Yang had a bad feeling about the name of the café. ‘Based on my shallow knowledge of feng shui, I can tell that the café’s business would only be good in the summer…’

On the way, Su Yang asked Chu Xia while driving, “Why are we going to such a far place?”

Chu Xia looked out the window as if nothing had happened, “Because I often go there.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth], [Truth]…

Even though that was the judgment from his Silver Ability, Su Yang felt that there was something wrong with it. That was because he could tell that there was something obviously wrong with Chu Xia’s face even without the help of his Silver Ability.

Su Yang asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Chu Xia shook her head and opened her mouth in an exaggerated smile. “No.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Lie], [Lie], [Lie]…

‘Yeap, there’s something wrong here indeed.

‘Could it be… Chu Xia is colluding with someone else to harm me?’

Su Yang thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

‘Chu Xia shouldn’t be such a person.’

Since it was a date that afternoon, Su Yang did not want to use his [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] to check Chu Xia’s memories. If the side effects were to affect his mood for an hour, he would not feel like he was on a date anymore.

So he decided… To leave everything to the unknown.

When they arrived at Summer Cafe, Su Yang found a place to park his car and got off with Chu Xia.

When he walked into the cafe, he saw a kind-looking, middle-aged woman at the front desk. When she saw Su Yang and Chu Xia walking in, her eyes were almost smiling. “Young man, what would you like to drink?”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Adore], [Adore], [Adore]…

Su Yang was confused.

‘What the h*ll?

‘I just entered the shop, yet how is she adoring me already?

‘Could it be that she’s happy because she has guests?

‘That… Seems to make sense.’

Su Yang ignored the thought of the “waiter” and merely smiled at her. “Miss, I don’t really drink coffee often, why don’t I let my friend order.”

When Su Yang called her “miss”, the “waiter’s” eyes lit up with laughter. On the other hand, Chu Xia secretly rolled her eyes in displeasure.

Chu Xia pushed Su Yang and said, “Go find a place to sit first.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Displeased], [Displeased]…

Su Yang looked at Chu Xia in confusion. ‘Why is she unhappy? Is she jealous? Surely not. That woman seems to be in her 40s’ and could even pass off as our mom. What’s there to be jealous about?’

Hence, Su Yang could only attribute that to a girl’s strange possessive nature…

After that, he went on to find a seat at the café. After a while, Chu Xia walked over and sat opposite Su Yang. Her expression was no longer the same as before. There was a genuine happiness on her face. It was a smile that she tried her best to hide but could not.

Su Yang asked, “What’s wrong? Did something good happen?”

Chu Xia smiled and said, “That’s right. The manager waived our coffee fees.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth], [Truth]…

Su Yang was surprised. “Why?”

Chu Xia shook her cute head and waved her hair. “Maybe it’s because I’m beautiful.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Lie], [Lie], [Lie]…

‘Yeap, my Silver Ability is really useful.

‘But Chu Xia is being really weird today. It’s like she’s hiding something from me.

‘I should be more careful. I shouldn’t let this girl sell me out. Hmm… It doesn’t matter if she does sell me out actually. The main thing is that she doesn’t know how to count, so she wouldn’t be able to count even if she did sell me out. How miserable is that?’

At the thought of that, Su Yang could not help but smile.

Chu Xia blinked and asked curiously, “What are you laughing at?”

Su Yang retracted his smile. “Why do you care? I’m willing to smile whenever I see you. Can’t I?”

Chu Xia couldn’t help but smile brightly at Su Yang’s straightforward flirting.

After a while, the middle-aged woman from the café brought the coffee over and placed it before the two of them.

Su Yang nodded politely. “Thank you.”

The middle-aged woman waved her hand. “You’re welcome.”

Then she lowered her head and asked with a smile, “Young man, do you want some snacks or something?”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Adore], [Adore], [Adore]…

Chu Xia secretly rolled her eyes again.

Su Yang thought for a while and said, “Can I have a small slice of cake and some melon seeds.”

The middle-aged woman nodded. “Sure.”

After the middle-aged woman left, Su Yang asked, “Why did you ask me out for coffee? Is something the matter?”

Chu Xia supported her head with her hand and kept stirring the coffee cup with her coffee spoon. She casually said, “Of course something’s the matter. Why would I call you out if there was nothing?”

Su Yang asked, “What is it then?”

Chu Xia replied, “It’s already done.”

Su Yang was confused. ‘What the hell…

‘Did she just treat me as her chauffeur?

‘Chu Xia seems to be a completely different person today. The Chu Xia in the past was like a transparent object in front of me and I could tell whatever she was trying to do with her every frown and smile.

‘However, today… Even with the help of the Silver Ability, I still don’t know what she’s thinking.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang took a sip of the coffee. The coffee tasted bitter, but it was rich and fragrant. Even Su Yang, who did not know much about coffee, felt that it should be good coffee.

Su Yang put down his coffee cup and asked, “Chu Xia, what kind of coffee did you order for me? It’s delicious.”

Chu Xia straightened up. “Delicious?”

She was like a quick-witted squirrel as she reached out to the top of Su Yang’s coffee cup and fanned herself. Then, she sniffed and frowned.

Right after that, she could not be bothered about their ambiguous relationship anymore. She picked up Su Yang’s coffee cup and took a sip.

Su Yang was speechless.

‘So direct?’

Chu Xia seemed to have gone crazy after taking a small sip of coffee. She put down her coffee cup and rushed to the front desk.

Su Yang looked at the cup of coffee that Chu Xia had drunk and his face was filled with doubt. ‘Is the coffee poisonous? ‘

However, the [Danger Detecting Chopsticks] hanging around his neck did not alert him…

‘Strange, strange…

‘Today is a really strange day…’

…

At the same time, Chu Xia had rushed to the front desk and was gritting her teeth. She was like a crazed little beast as she criticized the “middle-aged woman” in a low voice, “Mom! You’re so biased! You actually gave him the Jamaican Alpine coffee that you couldn’t bear to drink! I’ve asked you for it so many times, but you wouldn’t even let me drink it!”

Chu Xia’s mom waved her hand nonchalantly. “Why would you need to drink that? Just drink the ordinary coffee. I can see that my son-in-law is very talented and is a good person. Also, his work must be very tough! So I made him a cup of good coffee.”

Chu Xia was speechless.

…

Su Yang sat in front of the table and looked at the chair opposite him in boredom. After thinking for a long time, he took back the coffee cup that Chu Xia had drunk and waited for Chu Xia to return.

After a while, Chu Xia returned to the table. Even though there was no longer anything suspicious with her facial expression, Su Yang’s [Space Traversing Eyes] kept on notifying him. [Jealousy], [Jealousy], [Jealousy]…

Su Yang was confused.

‘What are you jealous of?

‘Why is it such a strange day today!’

The afternoon passed by happily. Su Yang and Chu Xia ate snacks, drank coffee, watched dramas and did… Nothing else.

Other than the fact that the staff was so friendly to the both of them, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

That made Su Yang wonder if he was imagining things.

After sending Chu Xia back to school, Su Yang drove home and entered the virtual space.

In the end, all the little monsters in the virtual space were in the courtyard for some reason…
