That's right, the middle-aged couple across from him were Pei Ziyu's parents. It wasn't easy for them to finally get time off, and then they heard their son was dating someone. Since it happened to be the New Year, the couple wanted to meet this young lady.
Ziyu obviously thought so too. His parents were always busy, and he rarely got to see them. Now that things had lined up, he figured they might as well meet. Only, he and Mei Mengzhen hadn't been together for long, so he was a bit worried Mengzhen might not agree.
Of course, there was another big reason: he wanted his mom to stop setting him up on blind dates.
Yep, Pei Ziyu, at twenty-five or twenty-six, hadn't ever dated anyone, which made Pei's mom very suspicious about her son's sexuality. Blind date stuff was pushed really hard; they introduced several girls, but he rejected all of them. What started as just a suspicion accidentally turned into a certainty in Pei's mom's mind.
