ch17- The Dinner

Time has passed quickly, and the dinner came before anyone knew it.

It is a long drive to Zhao's parents house, and Daqing was tagging along just for a bit of laugh; the bastard chief, his father, and his gay lover.... all in the same room!!! oh Daqing wouldn't miss it for the world, and also to report back to the gang of the SIU. But, of course it still worries about Zhao, "Just what ever your father says don't argue with him".

Zhao bitterly says "It's not that I want to argue with dad, but it just happens, but don't worry I won't".

Daqing, the gang spy, is staring at Zhao "What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting like that?"
Zhao is sitting in the passenger seat!!! and he sat upright!! Otherwise he would've been the one who takes the wheel. Also usually he would've seated leaning back. Unless....

Zhao hesitantly "I hurt my back doing... something"

And who knew if Daqing is NOT imagining something "stupid human".

Shen is silent, and hasn't said a word. He only peeks at Zhao's lower back, and it reminds him of god knows what, he looks away and his ears turn red.

By the time they've arrived, Shen is a bundle of nerves. In an effort not to dissolve into a mist and disappear, he tries not to look nervous as they walk to the front door.

Zhao glances at Shen, he can see that Shen is a little nervous. Leaning over, he whispers into Shen's ears "They already love you because I love you". then shamelessly pecks on Shen's soft lips.

Shen's face reddens instantly, he quickly glances at Daqing who stands far far away, then coughs dryly to conceal his embarrassment.

"Just relax baby, It will be fine ". Zhao says while, habitually, turning the door knob, knowing it would be unlocked.

"meow" Daqing not wanting to watch or listen to this disaster, it sprints inside as soon as the door is opened, like a bat escapes hell.

Zhao laughs " damn, that cat sure runs fast considering it's weight".

A great shout welcomes them as they enter.

Mother Zhao comes up to them looking graceful and sharp, as she always does, "Hello boys, welcome"

She inadvertently finds herself looking at the professor, it is hard not to stare; he is glaringly, frighteningly beautiful with sharp features, elegant outfit with clean cut lines, and a tall figure that would look perfect on a fashion magazine.

Zhao's mother doesn't know wether to laugh or cry for having the perfect son in law. If she had a daughter that would be great, but... she has a son.

"Auntie, this is for you" with utmost care Shen gives her the flowers they pick on the way.

Zhao puts his hand around Shen's shoulder and remarks "he is better than a daughter in law, caring and good looking. Right Ma?"

A slap came quick and strong at his back, his mother blasts "he is definitely better than my son"
Shen Wei is left speechless "....."

"thank you my dear" she looks warmly at Shen
"dinner will be ready in a few minutes... Yunlan how long do you plan to leave our guest standing, your father has been asking about you two, he is inside".

Slowly, they walk down the hallway and stand in the entry to the living room, seeing Zhao's father sitting at the couch watching the news.
"Hey dad" were the only words out of Zhao's mouth.

Zhao knew Shen's presence was making everyone here nervous, you could literally feel the tension in the room.

The older man gave them a nod, but otherwise didn't say anything.

Ever since Zhao came out to them , and Zhao's father has been uneasy. Although he has accepted their relation, deep inside his father is hoping that one day they would breakup.

Four people and a cat are sitting at the dinning table in an awkward silence. The aroma of the fresh cooked food is filling the room.

Shen Wei sits primly and properly at the table, displaying pleasant table manners, dare not touch anything but what Zhao adds to his plate.

Zhao never hid his devoting care for his lover, much less cared about what others would think or feel. From his perspective, there is nothing wrong with pleasing his partner with everything he had and taking care of every aspect of their lives.

However, accepting Zhao's affection in front of his parents made Shen Wei feels uncomfortable.

Shen Wei tries to break the long silence "Thank you for inviting me, I am so pleased to be here.

"......"
"Oh, off course, we are so happy you joined us tonight" Zhao's mother replies since her husband has apparently gone mute. While pouring wine for everyone, thinking that they need the relaxation which comes with a drink.

Knowing that rejecting her offer isn't the right thing to do, Shen Wei finishes his drink which is seamlessly refilled.
Well, for Shen it takes only one drink to bring a soft flush to his cheeks.

Sitting across from Shen Wei, Zhoa's father starts asking this civil man questions about his life, maybe too many questions!

But luckliy even when intoxicated Shen is calm, met his questions with cast-down eyes and great deference "yes sir" , "no sir" he would say. he never spoke any rude words nor any words that would hurt other people.

"I can see that you are a reasonable man, Am sure you have admirers who are dying for your attention, a more suitable choices? Why my son?"

Shen has nothing to say in response, after a while he only smiles lightly, staring at his wine glass intently, visualising the distant past, his gaze is mixed with nostalgia and sorrow. Then he says softly "Have you ever had someone that you don't see often, but whenever you do you connect? It's as you haven't been apart, you feel as close as ever?"

Zhao's parents listening with rapt attention. both nodded.

"No matter how long it's been, be it a day or 5000 years, no matter what happens whether you are together or not, they are in your heart.. always"

Zhao's father still looked skeptical, he kept trying to find more flaws about Shen, but not only Shen is lovely to look at, he is civil, kind and polite "How should I say that...." looking at his wife he coughs dryly "he seems too good for our son".

Zhao's father continues "It's hard when you are in love with an idiot" he directs that last comment at Yunlan, then he raises his glass towards Shen "please take care of this dumb son of ours".

"It's my pleasure" Shen holds his glass up, then they both gulp down the wine.

Zhao stares at them in silence, this situation really seems to be somewhat ... awkward.
His father only laughs, and anyone can notice that they both are dead drunk.

But, fortunately, everything is going smoothly. Until...
