My love game is too abstract

#76 - Fake Boyfriend (Part 3)

"Come on, Uncle and Aunt, I made these dishes. I don't know if they suit your tastes."

"Your skills are pretty good, Yarrow. You're so good at cooking."

"Not at all. Serena usually cooks. I only cook occasionally."

"Dad, Mom, try this. It's Black Mountain goat, specially supplied to the capital. The meat is very good."

At the dinner table, the family happily ate and chatted.

"By the way, Yarrow, where are your parents from?"

Sean suddenly remembered to ask.

"Oh, I'm an orphan," Yarrow said, taking a sip of soup.

The expressions of the two elders stiffened, and they stopped eating.

"I'm so sorry, Yarrow. We didn't know..." Lorraine said apologetically.

"It's okay. I'm used to it," Yarrow said with a smile.

Having transmigrated without any relatives, he could only be an orphan. He had told Serena the same story before.

Sean coughed and said, "Then after you and Serena get married, come to our house. Anyway, we'll be family then."

"That's right, that's right," Lorraine said with a gentle smile. "Don't be a stranger from now on. Just think of me as your mother. I will definitely love you like my own child."

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt,"

He had to admit that these words really warmed Yarrow's heart.

Serena, who was sitting next to him, secretly glanced at him, then lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

"By the way, Yarrow, can you tell us how you met our Serena?"

Lorraine had indeed not forgotten about gossiping about this matter.

"It was like this..."

Serena was about to speak when she was interrupted.

"Serena, don't interrupt. I'm asking Yarrow," Lorraine said reproachfully.

"Me?" Yarrow was stunned for a moment, and secretly exchanged a look with Serena.

But at this time, Serena had no other choice.

He had no choice but to improvise on the spot.

After brewing for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"I remember, it was a night, no moon, no wind, I was alone preparing to go to Heislan City, but I got lost on the way, and I couldn't find the location of the town. I had no food, no water, I was cold and hungry, and it was at this time that I met her."

Yarrow smiled gently at Serena, who was stunned and showed an obvious helpless expression on her face.

"I saw her holding a candle in the darkness, walking towards me in the light, her steps were light, really like an elf shining in the night, and when she came to me, I dare say, I saw the most beautiful girl in the world, at that moment I panicked instantly, I felt my heart was about to jump out."

The last sentence was really not false. Recalling the scene when he first saw Serena, Yarrow's heart really almost jumped out.

"When I came back to my senses, Serena was already patting me on the shoulder, asking me if I needed help, but she didn't know that the help I needed most at that time was to soothe the heart that was beating wildly for her."

"At that time, I was really stupid. It took me a long time to tell her that I was lost and had no water or food. So, she not only gave me water and bread, but also carried the lamp and led the way in front of me. That night, I followed this elf in the night to the town, and it was on that night that I met the goddess in my life."

He stopped talking, looking at Serena with tenderness in his eyes. At this time, the girl's emotions seemed to be driven by him, and she stared at him blankly.

Yarrow raised his eyebrows slightly at her, his eyes twinkling, full of affection, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, just to convey a signal to Serena:

"I can't make it up anymore, sis!"

Serena opened her mouth, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips tightly. At this time, the girl felt that her heart was beating wildly, and she quickly turned her head and covered her throbbing chest.

Seeing her like this, Yarrow was scared to death:

"No, don't you speak! Didn't we agree to cooperate with each other! It's your turn to smooth things over!"

Fortunately, Lorraine on the opposite side opened her mouth: "Really, it's really a romantic encounter."

The woman in her forties showed a longing expression on her face, obviously she had been brought in by Yarrow's story just now.

Yarrow then found a chance to smile at her: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's just that I was silly and got lost in the middle of the night, and then Serena picked me up. Later, it just so happened that we were going to the same place, so we continued to travel together,"

"After that, I changed my destination several times, just to be able to continue traveling with her. I traveled with her for more than half a year before I couldn't help but confess to her. What surprised me was that she didn't reject me."

Yarrow smiled slightly at Serena, seeing that the other party was cutting the empty plate with a knife and fork.

"It's so good to hear your story, it reminds me of when I was young, at that time, I also met your dad like this..."

"Cough cough!"

Sean coughed unnaturally at this time, glaring at Lorraine: "Why mention old things."

"Yes, yes, yes, I won't mention it." Lorraine rolled her eyes, then smiled at them and said:

"That, Yarrow, although it may be a little too urgent to say this, but, Auntie still wants to ask, when are you planning to get married?"

"This... I, I'll see what Serena thinks."

Yarrow glanced at Serena, who was still cutting the empty plate there, and quickly kicked her under the table.

Serena then came back to her senses, looked at her mother with expectant eyes, and murmured softly:

"Mom, we're still in school. Let's wait until we graduate in six years."

"There's still so long. Then why don't... you have a child first?"

Yarrow choked again and quickly picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"Mom," Serena said rather helplessly, "Who would have a child while still in school?"

"The main thing is that we're anxious. If you get married in six years, and then spend a few more years on your honeymoon, then your dad and I will have to wait until we're in our sixties to have a grandson. We won't have many years left to live at that time."

"Don't worry," Serena sighed.

"Speaking of which, you're not the kind who doesn't want children?"

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry." Yarrow said loudly at this time, putting his arm around Serena's shoulder, "We definitely want children. I'm still waiting for Serena to give me a hundred!"

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shuba!

"Haha, you are really humorous, but Auntie is relieved to hear you say that." Lorraine's face was full of smiles.

Serena's face flushed at this time, looking at Yarrow who was laughing along, she bit her lip and stepped on his foot under the table.

After dinner, after cleaning up the dining table, Serena pulled her mother to the room to start a secret exchange.

At this time, Yarrow and his "father-in-law" Sean were left in the living room.

Yarrow was reading a book of Magical Theory Formulas at this time, while Sean was wandering aimlessly in the living room, looking at the potted plants on the windowsill for a while, and looking at the hanging paintings on the wall for a while.

"Hmm... Is this painting a work by Bonn Ghent?"

Sean said to the hanging painting.

Yarrow looked up, "This, I'm not too sure, I bought it from the department store,"

"Oh..." Sean coughed and sat back on the sofa.

The two men sat side by side, the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

"Hiss... Is this the so-called most difficult part of meeting the parents? The moment of being alone with the father-in-law..."

Yarrow swallowed and thought. Although Sean was not the strict type of father-in-law, he was still inexplicably nervous.

Sean rubbed his neck.

"That, Yarrow, how old are you?"

Yarrow looked at him, opened his mouth:

"21, Uncle."

"Oh, that's not young... Are you married?" Sean asked again.
