If the confession fails, chase her bestie

Bai Weixi took the lead to say hello nervously. At the same time, he glanced at Xia Qin from the corner of his eye. The figure in front of him gradually merged with the figure he saw during the college entrance examination.

At the same time, Queen Mother Xia was also looking at Bai Weixi. After just one glance, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips, and she quickly greeted:

"Xiao Bai, you are so handsome, come in quickly!"

Li Zixia was also behind, smiling and saying hello to Bai Weixi: "Sister Weixi, long time no see!"

…

In the living room, on the sofa.

Queen Mother Xia started her "traditional skills" as a future mother-in-law again - chatting about homely things!

"Xiao Bai, where is your family from Beimeng?"

"Auntie, my family lives in the courtyard of No. 4 Middle School, very close to Banxu Town."

"It's really close to the No. 4 Middle School roundabout. It only takes more than ten minutes to drive there."

"I heard Xiaoyuan say that he and you were high school classmates?"

"Yeah, auntie, we have been classmates since the first year of high school, and then we were divided into classes in the second year of high school, and we were assigned to the same science class."

"Hey, let me think about it, one time I went to a parent-teacher meeting and I sat with a tall, fair-looking man. He was on stage to give a speech. That man's eyes and eyebrows were almost the same as yours. Exactly the same, seems to have the same surname of Bai..."

"Ah? Auntie, you should be talking about my dad. Li Yuan and I were seated at the same table in high school, so when there was a parent-teacher meeting, the parents also sat according to the seats of the students..."

"Let me tell you, it turns out it's your dad. My daughter, your grades are really good. That time, you seemed to be first in the class, much better than Li Yuan."

"Auntie, that's not the case. Li Yuan is better at math and science, but I'm pretty good at English and Chinese. In the past, he often helped me with my homework. The two of us pushed each other and learned from each other..."

"Then he's still not as good as you. This kid, Xiao Yuan, has been honest since he was a child. Ahem, your uncle and I left home early and didn't pay much attention to his studies. Fortunately, he didn't delay his homework. Thank you very much for helping us. I watched Li Yuan and didn’t let him go out to fool around and imitate bad behavior..."

"Auntie, you're very grateful. Li Yuan is very self-disciplined, very smart, and very talented. He helps me the most."

"It's good that you two can understand each other and support each other. Now that you are in the same university, you need to get along well. No matter what happens, don't get excited. When you calm down, Auntie will make the decision for you."

"Well, thank you, auntie. Can I come to your house to see you often in the future?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. I'm not familiar with the place in Shanghai. If you come to visit me often, it's not too late for Auntie to be happy."

"Well, auntie, I will come to your home often to see you and Zixia."

…

Li Yuan stood aside, listening to the lively chat between Queen Mother Xia and Bai Weixi, from studying in high school to the customs of their hometown, and from the process of their acquaintance to the local customs...

He was very strange in his heart. He had never noticed before that Bai Weixi could be so eloquent and that he could have such a congenial conversation with a rural woman with a primary school education. It was completely beyond his expectation.

In fact, Li Yuan couldn't even get in touch with some of the things they were talking about. He could only pinch Li Zixia's cheek from time to time...

Listening to the chat between Bai Weixi and Queen Mother Xia, Li Yuan felt an illusion in his mind for some reason.

It seemed that Bai Weixi was deliberately picking up some good words and making full preparations, intending to get closer to the Queen Mother Xia.

This feeling was something Empress Dowager Xia didn't have when she was chatting with Xia Zhijin and Zhong Tingyue.

Li Yuan murmured in his heart: "This novice, isn't she going to take the mother-in-law route? Come to overtake in a corner?"

Bai Weixi didn't know what Li Yuan was thinking, and was still chatting enthusiastically with Queen Mother Xia.

"Xiao Bai, let's eat at home tonight. Auntie will cook you some home-cooked food. You haven't had it for a long time, right?"

"Auntie, some time ago, my parents also came to visit me in Shanghai."

"Oh, your parents came to Shanghai too? Do they know about your relationship with Li Yuan?"

"Auntie, my parents already know and have met Li Yuan. They all praised Li Yuan like a flower."

"Have you met? That's fine. When the Chinese New Year comes, the two families will sit together again. It won't be easy for you two to go from high school to college."

"You, Xiaoyuan and Zixia, stay here and let me cook dinner for you. You can have it at home tonight."

"Auntie, let me help you!"

"Xiao Bai, can you also cook?"

"Well, Auntie, I'm not very good at it. My mother used to do it. But I can learn."

"It's okay. I have nothing to do when I'm free. It's not difficult to cook. You and Li Yuan can have a good time."

…

While Queen Mother Xia was cooking in the kitchen, Bai Weixi nervously put her head to Li Yuan's ear and asked nervously:

"Brother, how did I behave just now?"

Li Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, touched her head and praised:

"You're doing so well. If we chat for a little longer, I think you will become my daughter and I will become my son-in-law."

"Hehe, everyone is just doing it for you!"

Bai Weixi rolled her eyes at Li Yuan, pursed her lips and snickered.

"Auntie is just as I thought. She is very kind and easy to get along with. Can I come to see auntie more often in the future?"

Li Yuan thought to himself, how can I not know your little thoughts and start to take the diplomatic route?

"Of course, I will have a lot of things to do in the future and may not have time to go home. Zixia also has to study at night in high school. It will be great if you can come and stay with my mother."

After receiving Li Yuan's affirmative answer, Bai Weixi was greatly relieved. She had already seen a glimmer of hope for victory.

…

During dinner, Bai Weixi showed her "sweet mouth" to the fullest, which made Li Yuan look at her sideways. He didn't expect Bai Weixi to be so good at praising people.

"Auntie, the braised eggplant you fried is so delicious. The taste is exactly the same as that of the big restaurant next to No. 1 Middle School."

"Auntie's cooking skills are really good. Can you teach me in the future? I also want to learn how to cook."

"This is the potato shreds cut by Zixia? Zixia is really amazing. The potato shreds I cut are like potato cubes, so ugly."

"Zixia, is this a dish you cooked? It tastes so good. I feel like you can participate in our school's chef competition."

…

After dinner, while Bai Weixi was going to the bathroom.

Queen Mother Xia pulled Li Yuan to the balcony and asked with a serious look.

"Li Yuan, have you met Xiaobai's parents?"

Li Yuan was puzzled when he saw Queen Mother Xia's serious expression. He nodded and explained, "Well, they came during the National Day holiday, so I went to have a meal with them."

Queen Mother Xia frowned: "What are you going to do in the future?"

Li Yuan asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

"You and Xiaobai have met each other's parents, which is equivalent to settling down in our hometown. I am also very satisfied with Xiaobai. I know her inside and out. Her parents are both teachers in the county, and they live very close to our home..."

After Xia Qin said a lot, Li Yuan frowned.

"You can't want all three girls, right? You can only choose one to marry in the future. What are your plans?"

Li Yuan probably understood what Queen Mother Xia meant, spread his hands, and sighed helplessly: "Mom, I'm only a freshman, it's too early to talk about marriage now."

Xia Qin glanced at Li Yuan and snorted coldly: "You are my child, how can I not know what you are thinking?"

"You want all three, right?"

Li Yuan looked at Queen Mother Xia in surprise, feeling embarrassed as if his thoughts were revealed. He really wanted all of them.

Before he could speak, Xia Qin sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Yuan, Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, these three girls, each of them is very good, I like them very much."

"But, I have to remind you, they are all very good, you must handle it well, if something really happens, I will not forgive you."

Li Yuan nodded seriously: "Mom, I know how to deal with it, you can be a good mother-in-law with peace of mind."

Xia Qin thought about it and asked again: "Do they know your situation?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"I mean, does Xiaobai know Xia Zhijin, Zhong Tingyue and others? If they don't know yet, once they know, they may not be able to think it through."

"They know!"

Xia Qin was shocked to hear Li Yuan admit it himself, and confirmed again and again: "Xiao Yuan, you mean, the three of them know each other?"

"Yes! Know!" Li Yuan must answer.

"Then, then how could they be willing?"

Empress Dowager Xia couldn't figure it out at all. These three girls are all top beautiful girls, and they are also top students from famous universities. How could they accept this situation?

Li Yuan smiled: "Mom, don't worry about this."

Xia Qin sighed: "Okay, you are successful now, I can't control you even if I want to."

"But, as a mother, I still remind you that the three of them are good, don't let them down."

"By the way, didn't you say some time ago that the housing prices in Shanghai will continue to rise?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"You have three girlfriends now, and we only have one house, which can't accommodate them at all. You can make money by writing books now, buy a few more houses, so that they will have a place to stay in Shanghai in the future... Buy me less gold jewelry, jade bracelets and the like, and spend the money on serious matters..."
