First Visit in Love: Xuexue's World
"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you." Liu Qicheng said casually while munching on an apple.
Liu Qicheng was startled by his mother's keen intuition and almost choked on the apple. After coughing twice, he said with a red face, "Mom, you guessed right. I told you about Yang Xuexue a few days ago, so I thought I'd bring her home for a meal."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was overjoyed. She grabbed Liu Qicheng's hand and said, "Oh, that's wonderful! My son has finally come to his senses! Tell me, what does this girl do? What's her family like?"
Liu Qicheng smiled and said, "She bakes birthday cakes at a bakery, and she's very smart. Her mother owns a clothing store and is the manager. However, her father passed away after she was born, and she grew up with her mother."
Liu Xuan nodded slightly after hearing this, "Children from single-parent families are bound to mature early; it's not easy for them."
Li Yuan chimed in, "Yes, then we must treat the young lady well."
On the day Yang Xuexue came to visit, Liu Qicheng was already waiting at the entrance of the residential complex. Yang Xuexue was wearing a light yellow dress and carrying a pile of gifts. From a distance, she looked like a blooming sunflower, youthful and sweet.
"You've arrived! You didn't need to bring so much stuff," Liu Qicheng said with a smile as he greeted him, took the gifts, and accepted them.
Yang Xuexue was a little nervous. She tidied her hair and said, "It's my first time visiting your house, so I have to make a good impression. I didn't know what your aunt and uncle liked, so I just bought some random things."
The two walked home hand in hand, Yang Xuexue's heart beating faster and faster. "Am I okay like this? Did I wear the wrong clothes?" she kept asking Liu Qicheng.
Looking at her adorable appearance, Liu Qicheng couldn't help but smile. "You look good in anything. Don't worry, my parents are very easy to get along with."
Upon entering the house, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan were already waiting in the living room. Yang Xuexue quickly put down the gifts and said sweetly, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Yang Xuexue. Sorry to bother you."
Li Yuan quickly stood up, took Yang Xuexue's hand, looked her up and down, and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. "Oh my, this girl is really pretty! Please sit down, please sit down, don't be shy."
Liu Xuan smiled and nodded, "Xuexue, from now on, treat this place as your own home."
After Yang Xuexue sat down, Li Yuan brought over some fruit and asked her all sorts of questions with great enthusiasm. "Xuexue, are you busy at the bakery?"
Yang Xuexue replied politely, "Auntie, it's usually quite busy, and sometimes it gets a bit busy on holidays, but I really like this job. I get to experience a lot of new things."
Li Yuan then asked, "So how did you and Qicheng meet?"
Liu Qicheng interjected, "Mom, we met at school. I was immediately captivated by her voice." Yang Xuexue, upon hearing this, shyly patted Liu Qicheng on the shoulder.
At this moment, Liu Xuan spoke up: "Xuexue, I heard from Qicheng that your mother owns a clothing store?"
Yang Xuexue nodded, "Yes, my mom runs that shop all by herself, it's quite hard. I've been with her in the shop since I was little, and sometimes I help out."
Li Yuan sighed, "It's really not easy for a woman to support a family. Your mother must be very capable."
Yang Xuexue smiled and said, "My mom is very strong-willed. She always says that no matter how hard life is, you have to face it with a smile. When I was little, my family wasn't well-off, but my mom never made me feel inferior to others. She gave me the best of everything."
Liu Qicheng watched Yang Xuexue from the side, his eyes filled with tenderness and love. Li Yuan watched the interaction between the two children, her heart overflowing with joy.
"Xuexue, what are your hobbies?" Li Yuan asked.
Yang Xuexue thought for a moment and said, "I like reading, all kinds of books. Sometimes I go to creative markets on weekends to find inspiration. Oh, and I also like cooking, although I'm not particularly good at it."
Liu Qicheng quickly added, "Mom, Xuexue's cooking is so delicious. Last time she made braised pork for me, I could eat two big bowls of rice."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.
At lunchtime, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan prepared a large and sumptuous meal. While eating, Li Yuan kept putting food on Yang Xuexue's plate, saying, "Xuexue, try this sweet and sour pork ribs. It's Qicheng's favorite. See if it suits your taste."
As Yang Xuexue ate, she praised, "Auntie, it's so delicious! Your cooking is amazing. I'll have to learn from you more in the future."
Liu Xuan took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "Xuexue, if Qicheng bullies you while you're together, just tell us and we'll help you deal with him."
Yang Xuexue quickly said, "Uncle, Qicheng is so good to me, he takes good care of me."
Liu Qicheng smiled and nodded.
After the meal, Yang Xuexue offered to help clear the dishes, and Li Yuan couldn't stop her no matter what she did. "Auntie, you've been busy all morning, let me do the cleaning," Yang Xuexue said, carrying the dishes to the kitchen.
Watching Yang Xuexue's retreating figure, Li Yuan whispered to Liu Qicheng, "This girl is so sensible and hardworking. You must treat her well."
Liu Qicheng smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry."
In the kitchen, Yang Xuexue and Li Yuan chatted as they tidied up. "Auntie, you and Uncle have such a good relationship, I really envy you," Yang Xuexue said.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "We've lived most of our lives together, and we've had our share of arguments, but we've always understood and tolerated each other, and that's how we've managed. You and Qicheng are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. When you're together, you need to communicate more and not keep things bottled up inside."
Yang Xuexue nodded seriously, "Auntie, I remember. Qicheng and I have also agreed that no matter what problems we encounter, we will be honest with each other."
After tidying up, everyone sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Before they knew it, it was time for Yang Xuexue to go home.
Liu Qicheng escorted Yang Xuexue downstairs, while Li Yuan and Liu Xuan stood at the window watching them. "What do you think of this girl?" Li Yuan asked Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan smiled and said, "I think it's great. She has a good personality, is sensible, and gets along well with Qicheng." Li Yuan nodded, "I also think it would be wonderful if these two could stay together forever."
Downstairs, Liu Qicheng and Yang Xuexue were reluctant to part. "Thank you for today, I had a lot of fun," Yang Xuexue said.
Liu Qicheng patted Yang Xuexue's head. "Don't be so polite. My parents like you a lot. You'll be a regular here from now on."
Yang Xuexue blushed and smiled, "Okay, I'm going home now, you can go back now."
Liu Qicheng watched Yang Xuexue's departing figure until she was out of sight before turning around and going home.
Back home, Liu Qicheng sat on the sofa, a happy smile still on his face. Li Yuan came over, sat down next to him, and said, "Son, Mom can tell you really like Xuexue."
Liu Qicheng smiled sheepishly, "Mom, I'm serious. I want to be with her forever."
Li Yuan patted Liu Qicheng on the shoulder, "As long as you two truly love each other and support each other, your lives will definitely get better and better. Xuexue has had a tough time, so you should cherish her more."
Liu Qicheng nodded vigorously, "Mom, don't worry, I will."
This day marked a significant milestone in Liu Qicheng and Yang Xuexue's love story. They felt warmth and acceptance within each other's families, further strengthening their resolve to walk hand in hand through life. For Liu Xuan and Li Yuan, they witnessed their son's happiness and were gratified that he had found such a wonderful partner. In this loving home, the story continues, and the future promises to be even brighter.
