However, He Yu wasn’t worried; she had paid up to a year’s worth of rent, so she would move after the contract expires.
By the end of September, Ye Xun’s affairs were settled, everything went smoothly.
Moreover, with admission to graduate school confirmed, the two were able to spend more time together. Apartment 1503 was almost empty because Ye Xun had started moving her things into He Yu’s apartment. At first, it was her toothbrush, then her computer, and then even her clothes were brought over.
He Yu noticed this, but didn’t say anything because there was still half a year left on her contract, and so let Ye Xun do as she pleases.
Today, the He family had invited her and some relatives over for dinner. It just so happened that Ye Xun had a party with her research partners or something at the same time. So the two went out together and walked to the gate. He Yu helped Ye Xun to straighten her clothes before leaving.
The dinner was at a well-known Jianghu restaurant. Relatives were all passionately discussing different topics when they brought up He Yu and asked Mother He with a smile: “Xiao Yu is already 27, when will she bring back a son-in-law?”
He Yu paused, her brother and his wife looked at each other, and Mother He calmly announced, “She already has.”
The relatives asked in more detail, “When did this happen? How come we didn’t know? Who is it?”
“An outsider, not from Chongqing. Not bad either.” Mother He glanced at He Yu, then changed the topic.
The relatives noticed the change but didn’t say anything as they continued to chat.
He Yu helped her mother see the guests out the door, Mother He asked her in a quiet voice only the two could hear, “So where is she from?”
He Yu froze, then answered truthfully, “Beijing?”

Mother He only nodded her head and didn’t ask anymore.
He Yu was conflicted as to when she should bring Ye Xun over. At first, she had considered waiting until she graduated but then didn’t want to interfere with her studying for graduate school, and since she wasn’t working yet, she thought her mother would complain that Ye Xun was a bum as well. However, in the long run, no matter what happens, nothing could guarantee that Mother He wouldn’t have something to complain about.
She wondered if she should bring Ye Xun over for New Year’s.
She would ask Ye Xun first, and if she agreed, then that was the plan they would go with.
But an “accident” occurred—
One Saturday morning, He Yu got up early and had planned to go out to pick up some groceries. She had just put on her jacket when Ye Xun came over and hugged her for a “morning exercise”. He Yu always did not turn her away and allowed it to happen.
After two rounds, she washed up and went out, leaving Ye Xun home alone.
The floor was messy, and there were clothes thrown all over the place. Ye Xun had gone back to sleep, and at 10:30, she slowly got up and packed up. When the cleaning was finished, and she was tying her shoes, ready to throw out the trash when the doorbell rang.
Except for Jiang Yun and Ah-Ning, usually, no one else came to visit. So she didn’t think much and just opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, both the person inside and the person standing outside were stunned.
The face outside the door was seven to eight parts similar to He Yu. Without needing to guess, Ye Xun knew who the other party was—Mother He.
Mother He studied her carefully and saw that she was holding a garbage bag in her hand, and her expression eased slightly.
“Auntie.” Ye Xun politely addressed her, Opening the door wider.
