Are You Single

I ran up to Qin Feng and told him "My parents are here."

"So?" He asks back.

"You need to hide."

"I don't think there is a reason for that." He says.

"I know my parents very well. Trust me you will regret it if you met them right now." I told him.

"You are overreacting. We are not doing anything suspicious. Why do we need to hide?"

I don't think he is understanding the situation. It would have been fine if I was with my boyfriend. If they see him they will pester him for sure.

"Just do as I am saying please." I look at him with puppy eyes, trying to convince him.

"No.." I ignored whatever he was about to say and dragged him into my bedroom.

I heard yes in whatever I said.

"Just hide in the bathroom, ok." I shove him into the bathroom.

I would not have dared to do this to him before. I guess I don't fear him anymore. Who would believe that I made Qin Feng hide inside my bathroom. I just hoped he would listen to me and hide there.

I go to open the door.

I could feel my heart hammering in my chest.

Like I have been caught doing something I should not.

Mom and Dad hugged me as soon as I opened the door. I realized they were as tense as me.

Both for completely different reasons.

I am no longer feeling sad about my job. I can't control everything in life. It is very necessary to have some amount of power, otherwise anyone can take your advantage and play with your future.

These people just like make people weaker than them suffer.

After talking with them for a while, they becomes relieved seeing me fine.

Now that they are relaxed they stare at me suspiciously.

I become nervous under their gaze.

"Why does I feel there is something going on?" Dad said to mom ignoring me completely.

I know that they are having a conversation about me

"Yeah I also saw a car downstairs."

Now I am sure they are talking about me.

I don't if I should feel bad for me or Qin Feng.

"What are you hiding?" They asked in unison.

"Nothing." I say. My voice barely audible.

Mom went into my room and my heart which calmed a moment ago started beating frantically.

My mom was about to go out after

Qin Feng walked out of the bathroom before mom could exit the room.

I never had the urge to beat someone this strongly before.

Why can't he listen to me. I just asked him to do a simple thing.

He can't blame me for whatever is going to happen now.

Mom gasped after seeing him.

Dad comes in at this moment. It can't get more worse.

"You didn't told us you had a boyfriend." Dad commented.

"He is not my boyfriend." I clarify.

"He is just your friend. " He nodded as I'd he misunderstood earlier but I know he doesn't believe me.

"Then tell me what he was doing in your room? And why he didn't came out to meet us?" Dad asked me.

"Dad he was just using the washroom."

"What a pity." He clicked his tongue.

I don't know if he caught my lie or not. He didn't said anything about it.

He must have seen through me. I am a terrible liar.

"Can we please drop this conversation." I look at my parents pleadingly.

"Okay, let's go and talk in the living." Mom said saving all of us.

'Phew' I am saved.

"I am Su Donghai, Su Li's father." Dad extended his hand to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shook his head and replied "Qin Feng."

"What do you do?" Mom asked him.

"I run a business."

"Are you single ?" Dad interrupted.

"Yes."

I was secretly enjoying this interview session. I told him he should just hide. It was him who did not listen to me.

Mom looked so shocked after hearing his answer.

"You are so good looking, and are also earning well. You must feel bad that you are still single."

"I don't feel bad."

Someone give me a bag of popcorn.

"So have you thought about marriage?" Dad asked.

"I haven't." Qin Feng looked at me and raised his eyebrows maybe trying to ask me what is happening.

I shrug my shoulders and look away, pretending that I didn't saw anything.

I tried my best to control my laughter.

They asked him everything. His family. What does his sister do. When he is planning to get married.

And the most hilarious part was he answered everything.

I excused myself with the excuse of going to washroom. I burst into laughing as soon as I closed the door of my room.

Qin Feng's face was a sight to see.

I come after a few minutes to find only mom in the living room.

"Where are they?" I ask her.

"They are cooking dinner in the kitchen." She replied.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask her.

"Doing what? She feigned ignored. I sigh.

They try to matchmake every other person.

Coming to think of it I never saw Qin Feng cooked before.

"Where are you going?" Mom asks me.

"In the kitchen." I say as a matter of fact.

"Stay with me." I thought I would saved today, but I was wrong.

"He seems to be very rich. How you met him?" Mom asked me and I told her everything in detail.

Dinner was ready when I finished telling her everything.

I didn't knew Qin Feng was such a great cook. I am going to grab this chance in the future.

After dinner my parents told me that they are going back.

"We won't disturb you any longer." Mom said.

"Why don't you stay here?" I ask them

"No need to disturb yourself. We are going back tomorrow early in the morning." I don't insist them knowing that it's of no use.

"You are leaving too?" Mom asked Qin Feng as he was leaving too.

"Yes." He replied.

"I thought you were staying for the night."

Dad said and looked at me disapprovingly.

I can't do anything.

I say everyone goodbye and go to sleep.
