  When Zhang Fan brought Shao Hua home, she invited him inside simply out of politeness. However, Zhang Fan acted incredibly shameless here and actually followed Shao Hua in! He felt that he couldn’t act too shy; otherwise, he would never have a chance. Shao Hua felt really awkward!

  Shao Hua’s family was an ordinary family. Much of their furniture was rather old. The only really modern piece of furniture was a treadmill.

  Shao Hua’s parents were both home. They were quite astonished to see their daughter bring a man home.

  “Doctor Zhang! Please come in and have a rest. This is Doctor Zhang from Chasu City Hospital. He’s the one who helped treat my arm pain,” Shao Hua’s mother greeted Zhang Fan while introducing him to her husband.

  “Please have a seat. Go pour a glass of water for Doctor Zhang. Hua, what’s the matter?” Shao Hua’s father greeted Zhang Fan, but he noticed his daughter hurriedly going into her room, so he asked Zhang Fan about this with some confusion.

  “Hello, sir and ma’am. Shao Hua’s feeling slightly unwell,” Zhang Fan said rather awkwardly. It was too awkward for him to tell her parents the truth. It wasn’t like he could just say, “Oh, I told your daughter about something really disgusting, so she vomited!”


  “Oh, you go check on our daughter, then. I’ll pour a glass of water for Doctor Zhang,” Shao Hua’s father said to his wife.

  “It’s alright, sir. I can pour some water for myself. No need to mind me.” Zhang Fan was insistent on treating himself rather than letting his future in-laws do any work for him. Shao Hua’s father was rather mystified as he watched Zhang Fan scurry around, thinking, ‘What’s going on?’


  Shao Hua had never brought any man home before. This was the first time! ‘He looks rather energetic, and he has a good job, but he’s getting overly familiar with us on the first meeting. I also don’t know if he has good moral character yet. Sigh! My daughter is growing up!’ Shao Hua’s father thought to himself as he glanced in the direction of Shao Hua’s bedroom. He sat down, feeling like he was growing older.

  Back in Shao Hua’s bedroom, Shao Hua was looking for a new set of clothes to change into when her mother came into the room. “Hua, what’s the matter? You look like you’re in such a rush, and your complexion seems unwell. How come that Doctor Zhang came to visit us?”


  “He’s just a friend. He told me a medical joke from his hospital that made me vomit. Look, some vomit even got on my clothes. I really want to get changed.”


  “What’s going on? Why does it sound so messy to me? Are you in a romantic relationship with Doctor Zhang? He does seem like a friendly and nice guy who’s always smiling. Where is he from? How many family members does he have?”


  “You should hurry and get out now. I’m going to change my clothes.” Shao Hua pushed her mother out of her room, and then sat down on her bed with clothes in hand, not knowing what to do. She never expected that Zhang Fan would be so shameless as to actually take her up on her casual invitation to come in. Although the two of them had really improved their relationship recently, she felt that it wasn’t to the point where it was time for him to meet her parents. ‘Sigh! He’s so shameless!’ Shao Hua could only mentally complain.

  “Would you like a smoke? Smoking is bad for your health.” Shao Hua’s father had figured things out by now, so he was no longer smiling. Even his tone was somewhat unfriendly.

  Zhang Fan rarely purchased smokes for himself. He would only smoke occasionally, and he didn’t view himself as addicted to smoking. He had no intention to smoke here originally, but when Shao Hua’s father offered, he hurriedly took a smoke for himself.

  “Sir, I rarely smoke, and I can’t tell if a cigarette is good or not.” Zhang Fan hurriedly picked up the lighter on the table and lit the smoke for Shao Hua’s father before lighting his own smoke.

  “It’s best if you don’t smoke. Smoking is not good for you in any way.” Both men then fell silent.

  At this time, Shao Hua’s mother was pushed out of Shao Hua’s room by the latter. Shao Hua’s father looked over at his wife, who said, “Everything’s fine. Doctor Zhang, please have some water. Have you been busy with work recently?” Shao Hua’s father felt much better on hearing that his daughter was fine, so he continued to silently smoke.

  “I still haven’t properly thanked you for last time. I was going to have Hua invite you to our home for a good meal,” Shao Hua’s mother said to Zhang Fan.

  “I haven’t been that busy recently, ma’am. Treating you is part of my job.”


  “Oh, are you classmates with Shao Hua? I never heard her mention you before.”


  “No, we weren’t classmates. We got acquainted with each other through Jia Suyue.”


  “Oh, Suyue! Is your family from Chasu City?” Shao Hua came out from her room at this moment before Zhang Fan could respond. She glared at Zhang Fan before saying, “You should hurry up and go home. There’s such a smell on your clothes.” Shao Hua hadn’t thought of how to explain things to her parents, but she wanted to hurry and kick Zhang Fan out of her home.

  “Why be in such a hurry? Sit down for a while longer. I’ll pour some lemonade for everyone. It just so happens that my husband has neck problems, so could Doctor Zhang take a look?” Zhang Fan had stood up already, but Shao Hua’s mother dragged him back to his seat.

  Shao Hua’s father was somewhat unwilling, but he couldn’t do anything, as his wife was signaling him. Thus, he said, “It’s an old problem. You might as well take a look.” However, he really wasn’t happy about it. This was the difference between Shao Hua’s father and mother.

  Both of Shao Hua’s parents were blue-collar workers on a farm. Their jobs were tough and involved a great deal of physical labor, even though much of the work on the farm had now been mechanized. They both had many minor ailments from all their work. Shao Hua’s parents had only gotten slightly better recently due to her finishing university and joining the workforce, which reduced the family’s expenses and increased the family’s income.

  Shao Hua’s mother pulled her into the kitchen as Zhang Fan performed a simple neck checkup for Shao Hua’s father. “Sir, your neck muscles are slightly stiff. Please allow me to perform a muscle loosening massage for you, and relax yourself.”


  “Just what is going on? Don’t think of your mom as being gossipy. You’re an adult, and it’s time for you to find someone. As long as he has good character, we won’t object,” Shao Hua’s mother asked her daughter.

  “I just got acquainted with him a while back. He asked if I would be his girlfriend. Right now, we’re just getting to know each other better. An accident of sorts occurred today, so I politely invited him in when he dropped me off here, but I never expected for him to actually follow me in so shamelessly!”


  “What do you mean, so shamelessly? Would he dare to come in if you were truly unwilling? We don’t care if your future husband is rich or not. We only want you to be happy. The most important thing about your future husband is his moral character. You must be able to judge him well. Hurry and bring him some lemonade. Just what joke could he have told you that made you vomit!”


  Zhang Fan gave Shao Hua’s father a neck massage. Soon after, Shao Hua’s father felt that his neck’s condition had greatly improved. This slightly improved his mood. “Go ahead and drink some lemonade. My neck feels much better now.”


  “Your neck problems were caused by long-term work over time. Just one or two massages won’t be very effective. A long-term massage treatment will be required.”


  Zhang Fan was about to offer to come over to give Shao Hua’s father a neck massage every day when Shao Hua interrupted him. “Hurry and drink some lemonade, and go home after that.”


  Shao Hua was rather embarrassed. She didn’t think that Zhang Fan would use such a shameless tactic. If she didn’t kick him out right now, she felt that he would definitely schedule to come over on a daily basis!

  Zhang Fan felt that the atmosphere in Shao Hua’s home was quite comfortable. Although Shao Hua’s father didn’t seem to be too welcoming of him, Zhang Fan didn’t mind at all. He felt that this was how a family should be. He didn’t want to leave!

  Shao Hua’s parents went with Zhang Fan to the front door, while Shao Hua brought Zhang Fan to his car. “I never expected that you would be so shameless. I haven’t even agreed to be your girlfriend yet, but you’re already trying to suck up to my parents? Just how am I supposed to explain things to my parents now?”


  “Haha, just tell them the truth.” Zhang Fan kept chuckling foolishly.

  “The hell with that! You should hurry and leave now. Be careful while driving. Go and take a long shower, you really smell.”


  “Alright, I’ll be leaving now. How about I come over tomorrow to give your father a massage? I haven’t been that busy recently. I have nothing to do after my work shift.”


  “That’s enough out of you. I’ll have my parents go visit you tomorrow instead.”
