Your Mother's Best Friend Chapter 2

The heavy rain that had been falling all night finally stopped, and the morning after the rain was particularly cool.

Stephen Su finally fell asleep after a long struggle last night, and he is still a little sleepy now. To be honest, he still hasn't recovered from his shock, how could a girl suddenly appear out of nowhere?

After buying steamed buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks at the breakfast shop, Stephen Su got on the bus. He had to go to his parents' house today.

Stephen Su's home is not far from his parents' home. Although one is in the east of the city and the other is in the west, it only takes more than half an hour by bus.

We got off the bus and arrived at the gate of the community. This is an old community. Stephen Su has lived here since he could remember. He only moved to his current residence after graduating from university for work reasons.

"Xiao Su, are you here to see your parents?"

As soon as he entered the community gate, Mr. Shen in the security booth saw him, leaned out and greeted him.

Stephen Su smiled and waved his hand, glancing at the wine glass on the table in the security booth: "Uncle Harold, are you drinking so early in the morning?"

"Haha, let's have two drinks." Uncle Harold smiled and took a sip of wine.

"You may have high blood pressure, take it easy."

"Alright, alright, forget about what your mother said to me, but you still want to teach me a lesson? You are really my biological son." Uncle Harold glared and waved his hands impatiently.

Stephen Su shrugged helplessly and continued walking into the community.

...

At the dinner table, Stephen Su and Grace Su were eating breakfast.

"Where's my dad? Hasn't he gotten up yet?" Stephen Su asked casually after drinking a sip of soy milk.

"Your father has something to do at the company, so he has been working overtime." Su's mother rolled her eyes at Stephen Su and said unhappily, "Do you think it's you? You are so lazy, idling around at home every day."

"...What do you mean by idle? I'm working at home, okay?" Stephen Su bit a piece of the dough stick helplessly. It was cold when he got home, and it was a bit hard to bite.

"Is that the old lady? Can you make money with that thing?"

"Anyway, there's no problem supporting myself at the moment..." Stephen Su glanced at his mother and drank soy milk silently.

When Su's mother heard this, she was immediately unhappy. She put down her chopsticks and began to nag: "Of course you don't feel bad being alone now, but what will you do if you find a partner in the future? Can this little money support a family? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but with your current job, I'm embarrassed to ask someone to introduce you to a partner..."

"That's just perfect..." Stephen Su muttered softly.

Grace Su's ears were sharp, and she glared at him: "What did you say?"

"...Nothing." Stephen Su gave in instantly.

"You're already 24 years old and you've never even had a relationship. Aren't you ashamed to tell others about it?"

For some reason, Su's mother is now particularly concerned about Stephen Su's lifelong event. This is also the reason why Stephen Su is less and less willing to go home. Every time he comes, he feels overwhelmed by what he hears, either urging him to get married or talking about changing jobs.

"You can't rush this thing. It depends on fate, don't you understand?" Stephen Su rubbed his temple, feeling a little exhausted.

"Your Uncle Harold believed this nonsense back then, and look how miserable his life is now. Nora Ah had an accident when she was very young, and she doesn't even have any children. Her husband also passed away a few years ago, and now she is all alone. If Nora Ah had gotten married earlier and had a child, Uncle Harold would at least have a grandson to think about now."

Perhaps it was because she imagined in her mind the desolate scene of herself lying alone in a recliner in her old age, with other families' children and grandchildren around her, but she had no one around her, that Grace Su became more and more excited as she spoke.

Stephen Su silently lowered his head like an ostrich and said nothing...

I'm used to this situation. I just wait for my mom to say something and then it's over. Don't respond, or she'll get even more excited...

...

The last ray of sunset disappeared into the horizon, and Stephen Su returned home with a tired face.

Touching his hungry stomach, Stephen Su didn't know what was wrong with his mother today. She had been nagging him the whole day, so Stephen Su didn't even have dinner at his mother's house. He found an excuse and ran away.

After changing into slippers and walking into the living room, Stephen Su saw the girl from last night appear on the sofa again. She reached into the bag on the coffee table, took out a Pocky, and stuffed it into her mouth...

Stephen Su silently watched the girl stuff biscuits into her mouth one by one like a hamster, and his eyes twitched...

That packaging bag seems a little familiar.

"Those look like the cookies I bought, right?" After watching for a long time without seeing the girl notice him, Stephen Su couldn't help but speak.

Hearing the voice, the girl finally stopped what she was saying and glanced at Stephen Su standing at the door.

"snort!"

The girl just glanced at him and turned her head away, as if she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Seeing the girl's innocent look, Stephen Su was a little helpless: "Is this considered burglary?"

"What? You want to call the police again?" The girl turned around and glared at Stephen Su.

"Again? How do you know I called the police last night? Didn't you run away?" Stephen Su asked in surprise.

"If you don't run, you'll take me to the police station?"

The girl's tone sounded like she was holding a grudge.

"How did you run?"

"Didn't I tell you it was a whoosh?"

...

Stephen Su patted his forehead and asked hesitantly: "Are you really from the past?"

"What else? You don't think I climbed down from the building last night, do you?" The girl looked at Stephen Su as if he were an idiot.

Stephen Su thought for a moment and said, "I think this reason is more convincing than time travel."

...

The girl was speechless for a moment.

"Come to think of it, it would be abnormal if I believed your outrageous reason from the beginning." Stephen Su continued when he saw that the girl did not move.

The girl thought about it and felt that what he said seemed to make some sense, so she nodded, and then... lowered her head and continued to eat Pocky.

Looking at the girl who turned into a hamster again, Stephen Su couldn't stand it anymore: "Shouldn't you say something more?"

"say what?"

"Introduce yourself. Like, what's your name?"

"Oh." The girl said "oh" and continued to stuff biscuits into her mouth with an expressionless face.

Stephen Su: "???"

Just an "oh" and that's it? What's next?

He was very unhappy with the woman's indifference and her disdainful attitude.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, the girl reached out and handed him the packaging bag.

"for you."

Stephen Su was stunned for a moment, took the package and opened it to take a look. There were only some biscuit crumbs left in it. He was a little confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Haven’t you finished eating? Why give it to him?

"Help me throw it." The girl said casually.

...

Stephen Su rolled up his sleeves expressionlessly, wanting to throw the girl out.

"By the way, are you really curious about who I am?" the girl asked, sucking her fingers.

Stephen Su stopped preparing to throw her out and nodded.

"Give me another pack of cookies and I'll tell you."

Looking at the girl's playful expression as she blinked her eyes, Stephen Su squeezed the packaging bag in his hand and considered whether to throw it in her face...

Damn, is your name valuable?

My box of Pocky costs five dollars...
