"Ms. Yang, I just happened to go over there to do some errands. I'd like to see you off on the way."
Yang Tao was stunned and quickly waved his hand and said: "No... no need, Mr. Li."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Miss Yang Tao, you are too outspoken to say that. We have known each other for so many days, so we can be considered acquaintances rather than friends."
"Your car broke down and I gave you a ride, shouldn't I?"
Starfruit was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Li, you really don't need it, it's too troublesome for you."
"It's not troublesome! How can you say it's troublesome!" Li Mu said, reaching out and opening the passenger door.
Seeing Yang Tao's hesitant look, he smiled and said, "Ms. Yang, you are not afraid that I am a human trafficker and will abduct you."
Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "How could that be possible, Mr. Li? I'm just sorry to trouble you."
Li Mu smiled and said: "We are acquaintances, so how can this be considered troublesome? Get in the car."
He said and patted the passenger seat.
Yang Tao had a good impression of Li Mu, but seeing how enthusiastic he was, she felt embarrassed to refuse.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Li."
Seeing Yang Tao get into the car, Li Mu said: "Miss Yang, don't call me Mr. Li, Mr. Li. It's too intrusive. You can just call me by my name, Li Mu."
"I also took it upon myself to call you Star Fruit."
Yang Tao hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse.
"Okay, Mr. Li...um, Li Mu."
Li Mu smiled and said, "That's right!"
"We are all of the same age and we don't have so many rules."
The two chatted along the way, and soon they arrived at the gate of the community where Yang Tao lived.
"Li Mu, just send it here. Thank you so much today."
Li Mu joked: "I still want to send you into the community and stop by your house for a glass of water. It seems I have no chance."
Yang Tao was a little embarrassed and apologized: "It's a bit inconvenient at home, I..."
Li Mu smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just kidding, you live in a girl's home, and I'm not your boyfriend, so it's no big deal to go to your home."
Yang Tao smiled sheepishly, opened the car door and just stepped out, when a voice came from nearby.
"Star fruit, why are you coming back now? I've been waiting for you for a long time. By the way, where's your car! Why did you come back in someone else's car?"
As soon as Yang Tao got out of the car, she heard the voice and her body froze. Little did she know that her mother, Xue Sumei, who had been urging her to go on blind dates every day, was here.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Xue Sumei walked over quickly, talking as she walked.
"Why can't I come? You are a girl and you don't have a boyfriend. You have to rent a house by yourself. Can I rest assured? You are not allowed to come over often."
"You too, if you don't go home early after get off work, I'll be waiting for you here for a long time."
Yang Tao explained: "There was something wrong with my car and I sent it to be repaired. I had to take a friend's car and I came back a little late."
After listening to Yang Tao's explanation, Xue Sumei's attention was attracted by the car behind Yang Tao. It was obviously not a car driven by a woman.
If a man drives it and sends star fruit home, what is the relationship between the two?
When Xue Sumei thought of this, her heart suddenly became excited and she had some inexplicable expectations. Could it be that her daughter was overthinking it.
She made arrangements every day to get Yang Tao to go on a blind date, wasn't it just to solve Yang Tao's life-long matter? Unfortunately, it never happened.
It would be really great if Star Tao talked about it himself.
Thinking of this, she took three steps and two steps at a time, crossed the star fruit and came to the front of the car, looking inside curiously.
Li Mu opened the car door with a smile and walked out.
"Hello, Auntie! I am a friend of Yang Tao."
When Xue Sumei saw Li Mu get out of the car, her eyes lit up. Although this young man was not very handsome, he was tall and strong, very tough and temperamental. He was suitable to be her son-in-law at first sight.
He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young man, what is your name? How old are you?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Auntie, my name is Li Mu and I am thirty-one years old."
Xue Sumei clapped her hands and said happily: "Thirty-one! That's just right. He is the same age as our Taozi. Look at this coincidence. You two are really destined."
Li Mu also said cheerfully: "Yes, it is very fateful. I have a special eye for Taozi when I see it."
Xue Sumei said happily: "Really, you are really discerning. Our Taozi is..."
When Yang Tao saw her mother, Xue Sumei, acting like a son-in-law, she didn't understand what she was thinking. She was immediately angry and ashamed. She and Li Mu were just ordinary friends now, but her mother's nonsense made her feel embarrassed to see anyone in the future.
How worried are you that your daughter won’t be able to get married?
He stamped his feet angrily, rushed forward and pulled his mother Xue Sumei aside.
"Mom, what are you doing! How can you ask someone like this? We just met him not long ago, and we are just ordinary friends."
Xue Sumei said matter-of-factly: "I know you have just met, otherwise I would have discovered such a young man beside you."
"Besides, what's wrong with ordinary friends? No matter how good the relationship is, it all starts with ordinary friends. You are ordinary friends now, but you may not be friends after a while."
"I think this young man is nice, polite, in good health, good-looking, and his financial situation seems to be good. He is the same age as you. What a perfect match!"
Yang Tao was worried that Li Mu would hear it, so she took a sneak peek and saw that he was looking here with a smile. She didn't know if he heard her mother's words, so she turned slightly red and smiled apologetically at him.
He quickly grabbed Xue Sumei's hand and complained: "Mom, please lower your voice. If you say that again, your daughter will be embarrassed to appear in front of him, let alone being in love."
Xue Sumei took Yang Tao's hand and said, "I understand, Mom understands, you are shy, right?"
"Hey! Taozi, I think this is possible. You have been kissed so many times, but you have never been so shy."
Yang Tao was completely speechless. Was she shy? Maybe a little shy, but more of an embarrassment.
Also, she is a young girl in her early thirties who has never been married and has become a worry for her mother Xue Sumei. The most important thing every day is to arrange a blind date for her.
Now, seeing someone with good conditions and sending her off from get off work, it's like a sheep in a tiger's mouth. How could it be so easy to let her go?
At this time, Li Mu was watching over there, and it would be useless to deny and explain. If his mother, Xue Sumei, didn't listen, or simply stepped forward to promote her daughter and arrange a blind date between him and Li Mu, that would be too embarrassing! She would die immediately.
Yang Tao knew that his mother Xue Sumei could really do this kind of thing.
Now we can only neither deny nor admit it, be vague, fool Xue Sumei, and then deal with it coldly or explain it slowly in the future.
"Mom, can you please leave it alone and give me some time? We haven't even figured out our horoscopes yet! If you interfere now, you'll make things worse for us."
Xue Sumei clapped her hands and said happily: "Taozi! You two really mean that! You made me worry in vain. Well... our Taozi finally thought about it."
Yang Tao glanced at Li Mu. He probably didn't hear the conversation here. His face turned slightly red and he quickly whispered: "Mom, we have just met, and I don't know if it's suitable or not yet!"
"Alas! Just leave it alone and let us develop slowly. What if one day we feel it is inappropriate?"
