Love O2O (Onscreen 2 Offscreen)

Chapter 30

A year ago, I ignored all risks to surprise her.

I took a flight right after my Happy Camp recording and headed straight to her.

To ask for her permission to live the rest of our lives together.

This year, I'm going to her again, ignoring all risks.

To bring her back to my life.

"Tian jie, what's this?"

I feel my head ache as I scan Weibo. Someone leaked my flight schedule.

"How did they find out I'm going to Beijing?"

She breathes hard. "I swear, Yang ge, everything was discreetly-arranged. I don't know how they got hold of your trip."

Know what? I've come to the point where I just don't care anymore.

"Let's make a quick trip to my parents first. I haven't visited for awhile."

And I miss them. I've been so busy being an actor that I had no time to become a son.

The drive to my folks' house was a long one, giving me enough time to relax and catch up on sleep.

"What are they feeding you?"

My mom greets me like I'm a toddler the moment I step inside their house.

"I've been eating at Michelin Star restaurants, mom." I kid as I hug her tight.

"No wonder. Their servings are so small!"

I laugh. Mom never fails to spew wisdom at the most unexpected moments.

"Where's dad?" I ask as I'm not seeing him.

"He's taking a shower." She pulls me to sit beside her. "So, where is she?"

I smile. My mom's has always had a soft spot for her...

"So, where are we going?"

She asked as we drove away from our filming site. I dragged her to my car as soon as the shoot for our Jasmine Tea short film was over.

"There's someone I want you to meet."

I was so excited that I didn't realize I was speeding a little bit.

"Yang! Do you want us to get pulled over?"

I gave her a peace sign and slowed down. She smirked at me and turned to the window.

That was when my phone rang.

"Can you get that for me?" I asked her.

She reached for my phone. "It's not registered." She showed me the number.

"Answer it." I said, my eyes on the road.

After awhile, I heard her. "Wei?"

"Wei?" The voice on the other end said.

"Who's this?" She asked the caller.

"This is Yang's mother. Is he there?"

I saw how my phone almost slipped from her hand as her face turned sour.

"Dui bu qi, auntie. This is Yang's friend. He's driving right now that's why he asked me to pick up the phone." She said once she calmed herself.
