Chapter 221 What does it mean to call me Mom? Is this some new way to play?
"Alright, let's move on to the next question..."
As Yin Mengran turned to the next page, she heard soft snoring...
She put down her book, looked at Zhou Heng, and found that he had fallen asleep on the table...
Zhou Heng had faint dark circles under his eyes, enough to show how tired he was...
Yin Mengran sighed, picked up a blanket that had been prepared beforehand, and covered Zhou Heng with it.
Then, she reached out and gently stroked Zhou Heng's cheek, her lips pursed, her eyes filled with heartache...
This wasn't the first time Zhou Heng had fallen asleep from exhaustion; it had been like this for the past few days. With the college entrance exam just around the corner, he'd been working himself to the bone these past few days...
Yin Mengran could only do her best to help him; there was nothing else she could do. Seeing her beloved so exhausted was also a torment to her heart...
She had already made up her mind: if Zhou Heng didn't get into Dongzhu University, she definitely wouldn't go either.
She would go wherever Zhou Heng went, even if she didn't go to university in the end. She could find a job, cook or do housework at home, as long as she could be with Zhou Heng.
It's not that she's not ambitious or doesn't want to work hard; it's just that she cares more about Zhou Heng than about her own life.
Yin Mengran slowly lay down on the table, turning her cheek to look at Zhou Heng's sleeping face, a smile occasionally playing on her lips.
"High school is almost over... In a few months, we'll have been together for almost a year..."
Yin Mengran murmured softly, a sweet and happy smile appearing on her lips, impossible to hide.
"Knock Knock-"
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Yin Mengran was startled and sat up instantly, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Dudu-"
At the same time, her phone received a message. She picked it up and saw that it was from Zhou Heng's mother, Liu Wei:
"Honey, are you asleep? Open the door."
"!!"
Yin Mengran's eyes widened, and she quickly stood up, moving with fast but light steps to the door and opening it...
Standing at the door was Liu Wei. Upon seeing Yin Mengran, she waved and smiled.
"Hi...did I disturb you?"
"Mom...what brings you here? Please come in..."
Yin Mengran brought out a pair of slippers and let Liu Wei in.
As soon as Liu Wei walked in, she saw Zhou Heng sleeping on the table.
She paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her expression...
“That’s one great thing about Zhou Heng. He’s determined to do what he wants to do, no matter how difficult or tiring it is… That’s what his father and I like about him…”
Liu Wei sat down on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the sleeping Zhou Heng, and couldn't help but smile, as if with relief...
Yin Mengran quickly poured Liu Wei a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of Liu Wei.
Liu Wei smiled, picked up her water, took a sip, and said to Yin Mengran:
"I'm here to cheer you on! And tomorrow is the last day, Zhou Heng will definitely be studying hard from morning till night, that won't do. He needs to rest well and adjust his state on the last day. I know you can't control him, so I came."
"real?!"
Yin Mengran's eyes lit up. This was exactly what she was worrying about – how to persuade Zhou Heng to get some rest tomorrow...
But no matter how she thought about it, she felt she couldn't stop Zhou Heng.
The arrival of her mother was a huge boost to her spirits, putting her at ease!
"That's great, Mom! That's exactly what's been bothering me, because no matter what I say, I know I can't convince Zhou Heng..."
Yin Mengran immediately clasped her hands together in gratitude to Liu Wei. She felt Liu Wei had arrived at the perfect time...
"I know him too well. It's okay, don't worry. I'll take you out for a stroll tomorrow to help you relax."
Liu Wei gently patted Yin Mengran's shoulder.
Then he looked at Zhou Heng, who was still sleeping, and said:
"Wake him up. You all go back to your rooms and sleep. Don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold."
"okay."
Yin Mengran turned around, came to Zhou Heng's side, and gently patted his back.
“Honey... um... Zhou... Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng... wake up, let’s go back to the room to sleep.”
Yin Mengran almost blurted out "darling" before remembering that Liu Wei was still there...
Regardless, it's still a little awkward to call someone that in front of your mother...
"hold head high..."
Zhou Heng let out a groan, slowly opened his eyes, and looked extremely tired...
He yawned and slowly shifted his gaze to Yin Mengran beside him...
His vision was still a little blurry from just waking up. He looked at Yin Mengran's face. Even though so much time had passed, every time he saw Yin Mengran, he still found her beautiful and charming...
Zhou Heng pouted and closed his eyes:
"Baby...want a kiss..."
"..."
Yin Mengran's face flushed red at a visible speed! She covered her face and cautiously glanced at Liu Wei beside her...
“Zhou…tsk…Mom…”
Yin Mengran bit her lip, her eyes constantly darting towards Liu Wei, as if giving Zhou Heng a hint...
"Hmm? What's wrong, baby... What does it mean to call me 'Mommy'? Is this some new game?"
Liu Wei crossed her arms, tilted her head, paused for a moment, chuckled, and then burst out laughing, covering her mouth...
Upon hearing a voice different from Yin Mengran's, Zhou Heng suddenly opened his eyes and immediately became incredibly alert!
He slowly turned his head and looked towards the sofa.
Then, that one glance revealed his mother sitting there—a scene he'll likely remember for the rest of his life...
Zhou Heng seemed frozen, neither speaking nor moving...
The next second, like a robot, he slowly lay down again, closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened...
It looks like it's pretending to be asleep, but it may have already peacefully passed away for a while...
Yin Mengran blushed deeply, her face turning red all the way to her ears. Being seen by her mother was incredibly embarrassing...
"Oh dear, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, and I didn't remember anything."
Liu Wei stood up, muttered something to herself, and then slowly walked to another bedroom, closing the door behind her.
After seeing Liu Wei enter the bedroom, Yin Mengran looked at Zhou Heng, who was slumped over the table, and noticed that he was also staring at her with his eyes open...
Yin Mengran paused for a moment, then whispered, "Darling...this is the first time I've seen you blush..."
