July 2010 was a dividing line for Gu Wei and me. The previous days were like the first 20 seconds of riding a roller coaster, slowly climbing up. The days after, a lot of trouble came.

On the third day of my weekend stay at Gu Wei's, he was called by Dr. Chen to the hospital for some information, and I was left in the apartment to experiment with the yam lean broth I had newly learned from my parents. The doorbell rang when the yam skin was being shaved, and I thought it was Gu Wei. So, I went to open the door unprepared—

"......"

"......."

 The other side smiled: "Are you Lin Zhixiao?" I'm Gu Wei's mother."

"Hello Auntie."

Why is my hair a mess? Why am I wearing Gu Wei's T-shirt? Why do I have slime on my hands?! Why didn't he tell me anything?!!

Doctor's Mother: "It just so happened that his father was running some errands nearby, so I came to have a look. What kind of soup are you making?"

"Yam, tomatoes, diced lean meat. It's more appetizing to drink in the summer."

The Doctor's Mother smiled and nodded, and took out the things in the shopping bag and put them away. I put my hand in my pocket, pressed Gu Wei's quick dial button quickly, and continued to shave the yam calmly.

More than half an hour later, Gu Wei opened the door. "Mom?"

Doctor's Mother: "You're really in a hurry to come back home for a meal."

Gu Wei smiled: "Well, Xiao Xiao is here."

"Yeah, " the Doctor's Mother gently hit him on the shoulder, turned around and looked at me with a smile, "don't spoil him."

Me: "I won't..."

Gu Wei changed his slippers and lifted the rice cooker. "Mom, will you join us for a meal?"

"No, your Dad and I have to go back to work." The Doctor's Mother turned to me, "When Xiao Xiao has time, you should come to our house for dinner."

Gu Wei squeezed my hand and I nodded cleverly.

After the gate was closed, I leaned against the wall and breathed a long sigh of relief. Gu Wei stretched out his hand and put it on my face: "nervous?"

"I'm already out of tension..."

During the meal, I asked Gu Wei about his parent's careers.

"My father is also a doctor, and my mother is a teacher."

"Teacher?" I am quite surprise by this. "Madam Lin in our family is also a teacher. Why is her style so different from your mother's?" The old is sharper, and the Doctor's Mother is obviously much gentler.

"Different majors perhaps. What does your mother teach?"

"Southern and Northern Wei Dynasty literature."

"Oh, my mother teaches clinical anesthesia."

"..." I held my forehead, "You can actually tell me directly that all three of you are doctors!"

An anesthesiologist, a cardiothoracic surgeon, a gastrointestinal surgeon...

"Gu Wei-"  I swallowed, "your family can help you handle a body from top to bottom...ah?"

Gu Wi smiled with great tenderness: "yeah, so be good."

I really don't need such intimidations > <
