"Li Ming... Son... eat more... you're only a guest at my birthday," Heart's mom said while offering Li Ming food.
Heart's parents already knew about the two boys' relationship and were supportive of it. They were grateful to Li Ming for loving their son, especially considering Heart's deafness. They could see the patience and understanding Li Ming showed in communicating with Heart.
Previously, as parents, they didn't fully grasp their son's struggles, enforcing strict rules that led to Heart being isolated at home. However, Li Ming showed them that Heart could still lead a normal life despite his hearing impairment.
"Ma krub... This is too much, krub," Li Ming politely declined Heart's mother's offer.
"Let her serve you, Li Ming... She worked hard on that food because she was worried you wouldn't like her cooking," Heart's dad chuckled, acknowledging his wife's efforts to feed Li Ming more.
"No, krub, Ma... It's delicious," Li Ming reassured the woman in front of him with a smile.
"Ahhh... Ma krub... I bought you a gift here... I hope you like it... It's just a small, inexpensive gift, Ma," Li Ming apologized.
"This child... It's okay even if you didn't bring a gift... It's enough that you're here," Heart's mom said, smiling at Li Ming.
Cough! Cough!
"Awww... Heart... *Be careful,*" Li Ming said, concerned as Heart choked on his food.
"*I'm okay*... *The food is salty*... *That's why my throat hurts,*" Heart explained, still coughing lightly.
While the food wasn't exceptionally delicious, it was still edible. However, when it came to salty food, Heart's mom tended to overdo it.
"Li Ming... What did my son say?" Heart's mom asked, confused.
Heart's parents were still learning sign language, so sometimes they couldn't understand Heart without Li Ming's help or written notes.
"Ahh... Hahaha... Ma krub... Heart said your cooking skills are amazing," Li Ming awkwardly laughed while discreetly pinching Heart's hand to prevent him from revealing his dislike for the food.
"Ahh... *Thank you, son,*" Heart's mom replied, and Heart just smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, Li Ming... You can stay at our house because it's dangerous to go home alone this evening... Your uncle isn't at your house, so sleep with Heart," Heart's dad suggested. It wasn't the first time Li Ming had stayed over at Heart's house, so it was a normal invitation from the parents.
"Okay, krub Por," Li Ming agreed, smiling at Heart's dad.
