“Well, after all, Jinyi's sister is an artist. It's normal for him to be more emotional than others,” Tan Mo said as his eyelids began to droop.
He yawned and turned around slightly before falling asleep in Xu Mingzhen's arms.
The mother looked at her daughter speechlessly.
How could he fall asleep like this?
He sighed before bringing Tan Mo to his bed. After making sure the blanket covered her daughter, she quietly left the room.
Wei Zhiqian was still in the living room when Xu Mingzhen arrived there. They are still talking about competition.
Tan Wenci was so excited that she stood up and waved her hand until she saw Xu Mingzhen coming and stopped the conversation.
“He fell asleep,” Xu Mingzhen said.
“Did he shower and change his pajamas?” Wei Zhiqian asked. “Not comfortable sleeping with that outfit.”
The mother looked up to look at the man. Waw! You must be nosy. Do you really think you're his uncle now?
There was no way Xu Mingzhen would tell a man who was not in their family whether her daughter had bathed and changed clothes or not.
“Momo has taken care of everything. You're too worried,” the mother explained.
“Should we get diluted honey or other hangover medicine for him?” Wei Zhiqian asked another question.
Xu Mingzhen became even more speechless now.
Dude, are you his mother? You make me look like I don't know how to take care of her …
“No need,” Xu Mingzhen frowned. “Momo just tired. She's not feeling well.”
“So so.” Wei Zhiqian nodded. “I have promised to celebrate his victory with him tonight. Who knew he would go and get himself drunk first .. “
“We also thought to celebrate with him. Looks like we have to do it tomorrow.” Xu Mingzhen sighed.
Fortunately for them, it was Saturday the next day, and Tan Mo would definitely spend the rest of the weekend at home instead of returning to his dorm.
However, as soon as Xu Mingzhen said that, the men in the Tan family stared at her.
Comeon! How could you say that in front of Wei Zhiqian? What if he wants to come tomorrow?
Wei Zhiqian smiled and said nothing. Instead, he decided it was time to leave.
After he left, Tan Wenci finally said, “Do you know how dangerous it is? What if he decides to join us tomorrow? Have you forgotten how long it has been since we actually spent time with Momo as a family?”
Every time Tan Mo came home, Wei Zhiqian would also be there. If they really thought about it, five fingers alone was enough to count the time they spent with Tan Mo in Wei Zhiqian's absence.
Either Tan Mo would spend his time with Wei Zhiqian, or Wei Zhiqian would be in their home.
Xu Mingzhen finally realized what she had done. “But I think he realized what was going on. He didn't say he was coming, did he? K...we should be fine..”.
“Who knows...?” Tan Wenci sighed. He wouldn't bet on that. “Maybe he is just trying to make us relax, and he will suddenly appear tomorrow.”
Xu Mingzhen's eyes widened. I... That's not gonna happen, is it?
🌹🍀🌹
Tan Mo slept all night and woke up around 8:00 the next morning.
Since he had slept too early the night before, he could wake up naturally at this early hour.
He sat on his bed and was still confused as to what had happened.
Wait... Why am I home? Didn't uncle promise me that he would celebrate with me?
That was when his memories slowly returned to him.
The first thing he remembered was Wei Zhiqian carrying him home. Before that, he went to pick her up at a hotpot restaurant. And even before that, he had sipped half a glass of beer for himself.
ARGH!
“What do I do?” Tan Mo smacked himself on the forehead. “Why should you go and try a beer and get yourself drunk? You should celebrate with uncle when he has time!”
Tan Mo knew that to celebrate with him, Wei Zhiqian had even emptied his schedule for the night, and he had wasted his time because he wanted to see what beer felt like.
Tan Mo went to the bathroom. As he brushed his teeth, he thought about whether Wei Zhiqian would have time to spare later that day.
After cleaning himself up, he left his room and went down.
As soon as he reached the living room, he could hear people talking in the dining room.
Among the people who spoke, Tan Mo recognized Wei Zhiqian's voice.
He quickly shook his head, wondering if he was starting to hear something because he missed Wei Zhiqian too much.
He took a deep breath before walking towards the dining room.
As he entered, the first person he noticed was the guest sitting at the dining table. It was none other than Wei Zhiqian himself.
Tan Mo quickly rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not hallucinating.
“Momo? Why did you wake up so early? Did you get enough sleep?” Tan Wenci asked as she saw her daughter standing in the doorway.
“Uncle..?” ask the young lady.
He was sure he didn't see anything right now.
His father dropped his jaw immediately. Hello? Your father is talking to you. Why did you greet Wei Zhiqian first?
The father could really feel his heart breaking. He began to regret letting the two of them meet when Tan Mo was only six years old.
It was as if he had invited trouble into his home.
Just when the father blamed himself, he felt a gust of wind pass him by.
Tan Mo dashed towards Wei Zhiqian like a bird flying to its mother. “Uncle, why are you here?”
Wei Zhiqian pulled the chair next to her for Tan Mo to sit down. “Didn't I promise to celebrate your victory yesterday? Since we couldn't do it last night, that's why I came today.”
“Yes! You are the best!” Tan Mo hugged Wei Zhiqian's arm happily. “And I only blame myself for getting drunk and wasting your time yesterday.”
Since Tan Mo himself was the one who brought up the topic, Wei Zhiqian's expression immediately turned serious. “You are not allowed to drink from today onwards. Not even a drop.”
“I know ..” Tan Mo nodded obediently. “I won't drink a drop of alcohol from now on!”
“So, are you curious how beer tastes?” Wei Zhiqian smiled at him.
Tan Mo would never lie to Wei Zhiqian, which was why he quickly admitted it. “Ya... I'm curious, but it tastes very bad.”
Even he did not believe that he could get drunk with just half a glass of beer. There was no way anyone would allow him to drink in the future.
Seeing how sincere Tan Mo was by lowering his head, Wei Zhiqian's heart instantly softened. “Yah..if you are still curious after adulthood and want to try it again, let me know. But you can only drink when I'm around. You're not allowed to drink when I'm not there”
Tan Mo raised his head in surprise and looked at Wei Zhiqian as if there were stars in his eyes. “Betulkah? Yep! I know it! Uncle is the best!”
Whenever Wei Zhiqian was serious with him, his heart would soften in the next second and change his opinion.
Tan Jinsheng became anxious soon because it was evident that Wei Zhiqian stole his place in Tan Mo's heart.
“I too!” Tan Jinsheng quickly raised his hand. “You can also drink when I'm around. Your brother can take care of you.”
Wei Zhiqian raised an eyebrow and grinned. A copycat!
