Shen Yulin seemed to want to explain something, but after moving his lips a few times, he ultimately fell silent.
"Aunt," I called out softly.
"Aunt, I know you care about me, and I understand that both Shen Yulin and I are still young and should focus on our studies. But feelings are not something we can control. All I can do is actively pursue this relationship and use it as motivation for both of us to improve together. I can promise that until we are officially adults, we won't cross any boundaries. Moreover... Shen Yulin and I have never officially confirmed our relationship."
I mustered the courage to say this, and my aunt's eyes widened in surprise. She pointed angrily at Shen Yulin: "Are you even a man? You still haven't confirmed your relationship with Xiao Fan, yet you keep clinging to her?"
I was taken aback; what was she talking about? My aunt's imagination was a bit...
Shen Yulin scratched his head, "It's Xiao Fan who hasn't agreed to me."
"Hmph! Fine! I won't tell your parents about this for now, but you two must promise! Whatever you do, keep it within limits, understood?"
Both Shen Yulin and I nodded.
"Alright, Xiao Fan, come with me; I'll take you home." I looked at Shen Yulin, who gently hugged me and said, "Go ahead. See you tomorrow."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm still here with your brother, and you're getting all touchy with Xiao Fan like this!" My aunt pouted and huffed as she pulled me out of the office.
Just when I thought this kind of life could continue, even though my aunt didn't show much emotional fluctuation on the surface, I knew she must have many thoughts and doubts inside. I tried to avoid making her feel uneasy in the following days by showing a more mature and rational attitude.
Shen Yulin also remained cautious and vigilant about this matter; he knew our relationship could bring me a lot of trouble, so he worked hard to avoid complicating things further.
However, despite our efforts to maintain a calm exterior, the inner unease and anxiety lingered. We knew this situation couldn't just pass easily; we had to face and deal with it but didn't know how to start. I had a vague feeling that something would happen, but I didn't know what it was.
One day, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhang, called me to the principal's office. Confused, I walked into the principal's office and knocked lightly...
"Come in," came the principal's authoritative voice from inside. I pushed the door open and walked in to see the principal sitting on the sofa, smiling as he spoke with a woman around 40 years old sitting opposite him. Upon seeing me enter, the principal stood up and looked at me: "Yue Fanxing, right? Let me introduce you; this is one of our school's board members, Director Ke."
I nervously clutched my clothes and looked at the woman: "Director Ke, hello."
The woman nodded slightly before turning to the principal: "I need to speak with this student about something; I'll take her out for a bit and bring her back shortly."
The principal smiled apologetically: "Of course."
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me? Yue Fanxing," she said with a cold gaze and a serious expression that left no room for doubt.
"Sure."
The woman took me to a café across from the school. As soon as I sat down, she got straight to the point: "I am Shen Yulin's mother."
Shen Yulin's mother?
My heart filled with worry and unease. What would Shen Yulin's mother say to me? Did she know about us? How did she find out?
"Thank you for coming," she said, her voice gentle and steady. "I want to talk to you about Shen Yulin."
Hearing her words, I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me. I had no idea what she would discuss or how I should respond.
"What do you think of that boy?"
"He's great."
"Yes, he's very filial; he listens to everything I say," Shen Yulin's Mother said proudly. "Can I call you Fangxing?"
I nodded.
"When did you two get together?"
"Auntie, we're not officially together," I replied nervously, clutching the hem of my shirt.
"Oh? So you're the one pursuing my son?" Shen Yulin's Mother suddenly looked at me sternly.
I was taken aback and stammered, "Auntie, we care for each other and enjoy spending time together. We also encourage each other in our studies."
"Is that so?" Shen Yulin's Mother stared at me coldly. "I won't beat around the bush; my request is that you leave my son."
I stared at her in shock, my eyes wide.
"Don't understand? Oh, I see." With that, Shen Yulin's Mother took out a check from her bag and placed it on the table, sliding it toward me.
I glanced at it—500,000 yuan—and looked back at her in confusion. "Auntie, what's this for?"
"Take this money. You can go abroad or to another city; just start next semester without my son and do not appear in front of him again."
It felt as if I had been doused with cold water. "Auntie, I'm not with him for the money."
"Heh, my son has always attracted many girls. Every girl says they aren't after money, but in the end, they take the money and leave."
Shen Yulin's mother picked up the coffee on the table and slowly sipped it while waiting for my response.
