My love game is too abstract

Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

"The problems with the rest of the family are settled, so the only thing left is..." Yarrow looked at Serena.

"The problem between the two of us."

Serena immediately lowered her head upon hearing this, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.

"Yes, yes, because... because we need to act more like a couple..."

"Yes, and the decorations in the house. According to what you said in your letter, we've been together for at least two years, so there must be a lot of commemorative items. We have to prepare those too."

Serena's face flushed red, but she couldn't help but say, "And that, the room, the room... has to be set up together."

Yarrow paused for a moment and looked at her.

"Because... there's no other way. If we've been together for two years and the relationship is fine, we'd definitely be sleeping in the same room, right? If we sleep in separate rooms, we'll definitely be exposed!" Serena quickly explained.

"That's true... But, but that means..."

Yarrow looked at her, and Serena sat there without saying anything, but she knew what it meant in her heart.

If her parents were to stay here for a night, and they needed to act like a loving couple, then the two of them would have to sleep together that night.

"There's no other way... It's just, if it's just for one night..." Serena muttered softly.

After another moment of silence, Yarrow said, "Then, should we rehearse a little? Um, you know, things that couples do."

Their eyes met. After a moment, Serena blushed and lowered her head, but her body was already moving.

She got up and came to Yarrow's side, hooking one arm around his, her body leaning slightly against him.

"Like this?"

"Probably, and there are also nicknames. Couples have their own nicknames, right?" Yarrow thought again.

"Nicknames?"

"Yeah, like... darling?" Yarrow said, looking at Serena.

Serena was stunned for a moment, her eyes twitching a couple of times, revealing an expression as if she had touched a spider: "Never, never mind, let's just call each other by name."

"Okay..."

In two days, in order to make them look more like a couple who had been together for a long time, they not only took a photo together and hung it in a conspicuous place in the living room, but also bought some matching accessories and decorated Serena's room to look like they were living together.

"It's like decorating a wedding room," Ji Xiaofei said, watching the two of them busily working.

To this, Serena could only blush and say, "It's just temporary! Temporary! It'll go back to normal as soon as Mom and Dad leave!"

On the morning of the third day, an owl appeared on the windowsill with a letter in its mouth.

This was short-distance express mail. Serena took it, opened it, and saw that it was indeed sent by her parents.

"They said they'll arrive this afternoon. The carriage will arrive at the west gate of the royal city, and they want us to pick them up," Serena said to Yarrow.

"Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Let's go," Yarrow nodded to her.

Ji Xiaofei and the others packed up and prepared to go to Martha's farm.

"We're leaving. You two have to be lovey-dovey today!" Ji Xiaofei waved to the two who were seeing them off.

"Got it," Serena forced a smile and said goodbye to them.

After seeing the three off, Serena looked at Yarrow: "Then Zexia, she..."

"She went out early in the morning. I guess she's already eating and drinking in the VIP suite," Yarrow said.

In the afternoon, Yarrow and Serena went to the west gate of the city to wait for the arrival of Serena's parents.

Serena wore a hat when she came, covering her bear ears.

For some reason, Yarrow felt a little nervous now, wondering what to say later.

After waiting until about four in the afternoon, a two-wheeled carriage slowly stopped at the city gate, and a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman got off.

They were carrying large and small bags of things. The woman was wearing a floral headscarf, was slightly chubby, had a gentle face, and a brown ponytail. Her eyes were very similar to Serena's. The uncle was very thin, with some stubble, and his eye sockets were very deep. For some reason, he looked very listless.

These two were Serena's parents, Lorraine Edson and Sean Edson.

Yarrow remembered that from Serena's previous diary, her father seemed to be the type of fat uncle, but it seemed that he had changed a lot over the years.

"Dad... Mom..."

He looked sideways and saw that Serena was already stunned there, tears glistening in her eyes. After eight years, seeing her parents again, and after experiencing so many things, her heart was inevitably agitated.

She opened her mouth towards them, but before the two words could come out, the two middle-aged people rushed past her with their things, not paying attention to her at all.

"Eh?"

Serena quickly turned her head, widened her eyes, and shouted at them:

"Dad! Mom!"

Only then did the two suddenly turn their heads and look at her.

After a moment of silence looking at her, the woman said in disbelief:

"You... you're Serena?"

"It's me," Serena's tears were already flowing. She didn't expect that after so long, she would be unrecognizable to her parents.

Shock was written all over her parents' faces. Finally, her mother cried out: "Oh! My little girl!"

Serena couldn't help but run up and hug her parents.

"You're really my little girl?"

Sean's face was still full of shock as he pulled his daughter up and down, looking her up and down, his face full of disbelief.

"Heavens, she's grown into such a great beauty..."

Lorraine covered her mouth, tears of excitement flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"Dad, Mom, I'm nineteen years old. I'm not like I was when I was a child," Serena wiped her eyes and showed a happy smile.

"Heavens, going back, she's going to be the village flower of our village. She's much prettier than Memeley at the entrance of the village," Lorraine praised with a smack of her lips.

"Mom..." Serena shook her mother's hand coquettishly.

"Oh, right, let me introduce you."

Only then did Serena remember, turn around, and pull Yarrow over.

"This is Yarrow. I met him when I was traveling in the Southern Continent. I told you about him in my letter. Now he's my..."

When she said this, Serena choked, her tongue seeming to be tied, but in the end, she still said it, "Now he's my boyfriend."

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie."

Yarrow straightened his body and greeted politely.

Looking at Yarrow, Mom and Dad's mouths opened, stunned there. Sean asked, "Young man, how old are you?"

"21," Yarrow replied.

"Oh..."

A look of relief appeared on both parents' faces, and Mom patted her chest.

"I thought my little girl had found a minor. He looks quite tall, but he's so handsome..."

"Mom!" Serena quickly pulled on her mother's sleeve. Although she didn't look at Yarrow, she still heard a sound of heartbreak.

"Hehehe, Auntie is so humorous," Yarrow said, twitching the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad, little girl, your vision is still good." Mom pulled Serena over and gave her a "I understand" look.

"Oh, come, this is a local specialty for you. It's only available in our place. You can't even eat it in this big city." Dad picked up those large and small bags of things.

"Let me take them." Yarrow took them all very discerningly.

He led the way, leading the two elders towards home.

On the way, Dad seemed to want to find something to talk about, hesitating a few times before opening his mouth: "That, Yarrow, you and Serena, is your relationship okay?"

"We..."

Yarrow was about to answer, but Lorraine interrupted him:

"I said, you old man, you're shameless, asking about things as soon as you come up!"

"Haha, it's okay, Auntie, actually..."

"Yarrow, Auntie asks you, how many times a week do you have *that* kind of life?"

Yarrow almost choked to death.

"Mom!"

Serena's face was flushed red, she glanced at Yarrow, pulled her mother aside, and whispered:

"It's just twice..."
