Beauty An..

Tingfeng came upstairs after finishing the dinner and sending off Zixie back. He came to his bed and lied down after turning off the lights. He had just closed his eyes when a call came. He saw the name and picked it up.

"Hello Beauty An. How come you remember me all of a sudden? Your husband isn't treating you well?"

"You little brat! It's always me who calls you. Can't you make time to call this beauty? Humph!"

A sound came from the side," Dear what's wrong? Don't be sad. It will destroy your beauty."

"What do you mean? Don't I look beautiful when I'm angry? Hum?!"

"No no darling. That's not at all what I meant. Although you do look beautiful when you are angry and make me wanna spoil you, but you look more beautiful when you smile. So keep smiling. Okay?"

"My husband is still the best!" she said coquettishly and added "Unlike the son of mine who won't even call me once in a while. Humph!"

Tingfeng listened to his mother and father show off their love in front of him and sighed helplessly. "What is it ma? Did you just call me to show off your love?

"Why would I need to show off if you get a daughter in law for me and a wife for yourself? Won't the both of us will be happy? Son you'd better listen to me and get yourself a wife. Just look at how lovelorn you are? Who will marry you when you get old?"

Tingfeng replied, "Ma I'm only 26 years old this year. How will I get old so soon?"

"I say you will get old means you will get old. Hubby look at how disobedient our son has grown up to be. Not cute at all."

A voice came from the other end and warned,"Tingfeng listen to your mom. Don't make her angry at you otherwise I will see you when I come back later."

"Okay dad. Don't worry. When did I make her angry by the way?"

Beauty An spoke suddenly, "Oh I remember! Son you are not… ahem!!...gay...….are you? Please don't tell me you are." she spoke anxiously.

Tingfeng was speechless for a while and when he was about to speak, the voice continued, "Although I don't have any sort of hatred towards gays but I still have my dreams to complete. I still want a cute granddaughter and make her wear cute dresses. Oh! how lovely it will be! But please don't be gay okay?"

"Ma can you please not think of your son like this?" Tingfeng said almost pleadingly.

"Okay okay! Don't get worked up as if I'm accusing you of being one. But also don't bring zixie as your partner okay? He is a good friend but not a partner."

"MA!! BYE!" Tingfeng spat out these two words and cut the call.

Somewhere in America in a beautiful villa facing the sea a couple sat on the sofa.

The woman leaned in her husband's arms and said sadly, "Hubby you say will I ever get a daughter in law?"

"Of course! My wife is so beautiful that every girl would want to have her as a mother in law. Why do you think so?"

"What else can I think when my son has never been close to a female. Sometimes I even wonder that I would have to take Shi Zixie as my son's husband. Sigh!! You say hubby will I call Zixie daughter in law or son in law?"

"My dear. Don't think this way. Have some faith in your son. After all who is his father? It's me! How can he not make a girl his wife? Wifey I say, you will surely get a daughter in law. If you don't then I will scold Tingfeng to bring one."

"My hubby is still the best" Beauty An said happily, smiling ear to ear. Her eyes bent into crescents.

"Yes my wifey. I' so happy to have you as my wife. How can I not be best for you?" <3

"Laoxi you are making me shy!" Beauty An said nestling herself into his arms.

"hahahaha! Wifey how are you going to repay me?" Laoxi asked suddenly laughing.

"You-" Beauty An was not able to finish her sentence when she was pulled up from the couch and taken to their bedroom. They cuddled on the bed and talked with each other about their old days.

They might have grown up to their middle ages but the love that they shared was still like olden times. Laoxi would always make his wife happy and Beauty An loved her husband dearly which was enough for Laoxi to always stay beside her. This was what they called true love.

On the other side, Tingfeng laid on bed and said to himself. 'I swear if I ever meet you I would love to be friends with you. But I'm not sure of one thing. If even after all this investigation I'm not able to find you I will give up.' He made up his mind. After all there was a little girl in school who he felt was very interesting.

Tingfeng thought about what Zixie had said about how he was in love with this mysterious Linqin. He clearly was not in love with her. He was just attracted to her voice and found her to be quite lonely as she never showed her face and the song that she had sang only once was very dark as if she was giving up on herself. He wanted to be friends with this person as he felt like she also needed company to help her out in sad times.

He was about to close eyes and keep his phone on the nightstand table when he saw a notification in the message box.

He opened it and saw the one word [Yes] which had been a reply to his previous question.

He quickly replied back. [What is it tell me.]

Lixue had just finished chatting with Ji Nuan about some things in the Beijing Music association.

Yijie had already slept and she too had turned off her lights when she saw a text message come.

She saw the content and with pursed lips replied (In other words she lied). [She hails from china only and is a great zither master. She has completed her school and is now in university. According to the information in hacker alliance she is also very good at technology and her major is Arts. She is a tyrant in her university and mostly writes songs for only one person, Yang Fei. Other than this I won't be able to help you out with anything as I had told you earlier that some big boss is behind her. So don't expect me to do some deep investigation into this matter. Thank you!]

Tingfeng read this response and felt conflicted. [Thank you.] he replied and laid down on bed.

'So Linqin is a university student. But SH4D0W didn't tell him which uni so it means that he will have to do this himself but he did not have the energy left to do so now so he would leave everything to fate. If fate wanted them to be friends they would meet.'

'Finally! I give up!' he sighed and went to sleep.

On the other hand Lixue didn't know why but she felt really uncomfortable after lying. But the again how was she supposed to sell out a person whom she was trying her best to save.
