RUMOURS RUN WILD (Completed)

Chapter 12

"I was visiting City A," Ana smiled prettily. "Then I remembered that your college seemed to be in City A as well, so I decided to take a look. Seems like your dormitory's environment isn't too bad, is this your boyfriend?"

Mew pulled the stunned Gulf towards him, automatically drying his hair for him.

"He's my roommate and faculty senior."

Ana stood up and held her hand towards Gulf.

"Hello, I'm Ana, I'm Mew's mom."

"Nice, nice to meet you!" It was as though Gulf was woken from a dream, he wiped his hand carefully on his t-shirt a few times before carefully shaking Ana's hand, her skin was like silky, smooth and tender, she definitely did not look like she was nearly 50, with a son. "I'm Gulf, I'm Mew's roommate."

"Hahaha," Ana could not help but laugh loudly, her laugh lines accidentally exposing her age. "You're really cute, don't regard me as an outsider, just call me mom."

Gulf wanted to ask why, but did not dare to do so, and also did not dare to call her mom. He was afraid that by doing so, his father would have to kneel on the washing board till his knees rotted, and so looked to Mew to solve the dilemma.

"Mom, don't tease him."

"Why?" Ana's startled expression was exactly like Mew's. "Aren't the two of you dating?"

"Ah?"

– Haven't the rumours stopped? How could their parents have heard about them!

"What's so surprising?" Ana's gaze turned meaningful, she considered Gulf who was wearing Mew's t-shirt with a towel on his head, then glanced at Mew who was only wearing a pair of pants. "Ok fine I know, kids these days, it's fine, I've always been very open-minded. You have to be nice to him, don't bully him, ok? If not I'll beat you when you come home."

What a rare occasion to see all these expressions flitting through Mew's face, he wrinkled his brow about to speak, but was interrupted by Gulf.

"No, sister, Junior doesn't bully me, Junior is very nice to me, he's really concerned about me, we get along very well together."

"Wow! Seriously?" Ana looked surprised, just like a cute and playful 18 year old pretty girl. "Do you know, Mew is an oppressive tyrant at home!"

"Really?!" Gulf side-eyed Mew. "He's so tyrannical?!"

"Mom," Mew was embarrassed. "If there's nothing else you better leave now, I still have classes later."

"Then does Gulf have classes?" Ana affably held Gulf's hands. "If you don't, let mom treat you to lunch, I'll let you many childhood stories of Mew, you don't be fooled by his current image, he's actually very naughty!"

"No I don't, but..." Gulf felt that Mew was not too happy. "Junior doesn't seem very willing..."

"Don't bother about him," Ana clasped onto Gulf's neck, her high heels clacking on the floor. "Come, a mother-in-law bringing her daughter-in-law out for fun is very ordinary."

"Wait wait wait mom mom mom mom-" Gulf's neck was gripped to the point where he felt a little breathless, and ended up urgently calling her mom. "I'm not wearing any pants! Wait wait wait I can't lose my virtue this way!"

"Can't you see that he's unwilling to go?" Mew grasped onto Gulf's arm and tried to pull him away from here. "Senior is nice, he's too polite to reject you."

"Really?" Ana democratically asked. "Gulf, are you willing to go with me?"

"..."

Gulf warily wore his pants, his eyes bouncing from Mew and Ana. Mew's face threatened "If you go that's the end of our friendship", while Ana's face kindly smiling "Come let's go play". Gulf really felt that he was at an impasse, Ana was also an elder, of course the priority would go to the elder. After deciding Gulf closed his eyes.
