Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love

Chapter 16: Speaking Incoherently - What do you mean, because I like men?

When the several aunties' distinct complexions fell, Jian Yan pulled her mom to leave.

Walking upstairs, Jian Yan's mom couldn't help but ask her, "Look at the way you spoke to them just now; how can I get along with them in the future?"

Jian Yan countered with another question. "You still want to get along with them? All I see is them teaming up and going against you."

"How is that going against me. Although sometimes their mouths are harsh, but ordinarily, we still have a friendship where we all go plaza dancing together."

"..." Jian Yan was somewhat dumbfounded. "They say things like this, and you don't get angry?"

"What is there for me to get angry about? They are like that because they know that their families' daughters cannot compete with you in anything, so they can only seize this marriage matter to talk about."

"I still think that you moving to my place is a good idea."

"Do you have anything good? Not only will I not be allowed to go plaza dancing, it's far from my workplace. Living here is convenient. Furthermore, they keep me company. Typically, we would go plaza dancing together, take walks, and gossip about our families. What is bad about this?"

Jian Yan said, "If you move to my place, I can keep you company."

Jian Yan's mom glanced at her and retorted, "Save it! Your days are so busy, how can you have the time to keep my company. You're only just thinking about having me help you do the laundry and prepare meals, right?"

Jian Yan: "..."

Their room was on the sixth floor. After they walked to the doorway, Jian Yan's mom unlocked the door and said to her, "You also have really good timing. Did you come knowing that I had bought many groceries today?"

Jian Yan laughed out loud. "Maybe my heart has a rhinoceros horn.What are you preparing to make today?"

"Since you came, I'll add one more dish. I'm making , and then I'll pan fry a few . There's also some yam at home, so I'll brew . It's better to drink congee in the winter to keep nice and warm."

"Wow, then I have food luck."

"If you want to eat earlier, then come in and lend a hand." Jian Yan's mom carried the groceries mentioned to the kitchen, letting Jian Yan come in to be her assistant. "You can knead the flour first. After that, break the and the ."

"I'm yours to command." Jian Yan took off her coat and washed her hands before beginning to help.

To one side, Jian Yan's mom dealt with the chicken as she asked her, "I saw that your manhua is finished. These days you're not busy anymore?"

"Mn, it's okay. I recently began selling clothes at Starlight General Merchandise."

Jian Yan's mom was stunned for a moment. "What are you doing by going to Starlight General Merchandise to sell clothes?"

"To collect material. For my next manhua, I want to draw a female lead selling clothes at a general merchandise department store."

"Oh..." Jian Yan's mom nodded and then asked, "Then are you on leave today?"

Jian Yan said, "Today, I have an evening shift; it starts at 3:30PM."

Jian Yan's mom popped her head out of the kitchen to look at the wall clock in the living room. "It's already almost 11:00AM. We need to work quicker."

"Okay."

Mother and daughter busily worked in the kitchen until half past twelve, where they finally finished making lunch. Eating the nice and warm Mei Ling Porridge, Jian Yan felt incomparably happy. "In the end, mom's food tastes the best."
