Chapter 38 Worrywart
"I heard you just got back from the states and you do not know the city too well," Bai Ming started the conversation.
"Yeah. I just wanted to move around and get used to the environment. I don't have anyone who knows the city so my mum told me about her best friend's daughter and told me to pick you up. She said we could help each other out, so here I am." Feng Yisheng went with the flow of the topic at hand.
"Same story here. I also didn't have anything to pass time and got bored of the house. I told my mum and she told me that you had just arrived from the states and would need someone to show you around. I was like okay I could do that. As far as I do not die of boredom no p."
"Looks like we get to keep each other company then," Feng Yisheng chuckled lightly.
"Yeah, so where do you want to go first?" Bai Ming asked.
"I have no idea. You decide since you know this city more than I do."
"Okay then. I know a nice place to start our tour. There is a restaurant that is about thirty minutes from here that serves exquisite dishes. We could go there, get something in our stomach and proceed to other places. What do you think?"
"Hmm, so we start our day with food to gain energy for the tour. Great! Let's roll."

Meanwhile, mother Li was trying to wake her lazy son. Li Fengjin had not come home since his mini vacation with the boys. She had to force him to come home as she was worried. Now that he is home, his cheerful and flirty attitude was switched to a reserved one.
"Fengjin wake up. You have not eaten since morning. Are you not hungry and tired of staying in bed?" Li Mingyu shook her son who was sleeping with his face buried in his pillow.
"Fengjin you are scaring me now. Don't sleep like that. In fact, stand up. Jin."
"Mum I am okay. I do not want to eat. I am just tired from work at the company," Li Fengjin tried to shake her off.
"You are not okay. Is something the matter? Do you not want to talk to me?"
"Nothing mum. What makes you say that?"
"Well you are not as lively as you used to be and you stopped calling me sweetheart," listed.
"Oh, you want me to call you that? But I thought you hated it?"
"No, I don't. Look that is not what I am talking about. Don't change the subject." Li Mingyu blushed.
"You worry too much about me. Take care of that old man instead. Don't be a worrywart," Li Fengjin said.
"How can I not worry about my baby boy who did not want to come home unless forced? How do you want me to not worry when my son doesn't eat anything I prepare, stop asking if I slept well and if I dreamt about him, stopped telling me about his day, works more than usual and now stays in his room just lying down?" Li Mingyu snapped.
"I care about my baby boy because I want to and here you are, telling me not to be a worrywart and take care of a full-grown daddy. If you feel so tired of your mother, there are so many polite ways to let her know." Li Mingyu stood up from the bed, wanting to leave him to wallow in whatever was disturbing him.
Li Fengjin was surprised at the sudden outburst of his calm mother. Before she could leave the room, he quickly got up from the bed and blocked her path. Hands spread at both sides, he looked scared that she would stop talking to him if she left the room.
"What do you want now?" Li Mingyu asked angrily. Li Fengjin bent his head like an accused kid.
"I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me," he said with a sad face. Li Mingyu could not bear to see her son sad.
"Sigh, what are you sorry for? I'm not mad at you. I can never be. I was just super worried about you," she assured.
"Really? But you shouted at me pretty bad. You looked scary," Li Fengjin pouted. Seeing his childish act, Li Mingyu chuckled.
"Sorry about that. Now stop being a baby and tell me what is wrong with you or I will leave you alone," she pulled him to sit on the bed with her.
"Well, it's kinda complicated and confusing. You know me and the boys took a full day off from work, right?"
"Yes, I know," Li Mingyu listened attentively.
"Well, we had fun and decided to go to the club to close the vacation. We drank, danced with girls and drank till will dropped."
