Chapter 113 Struck by a Divine Lightning

On her second day in A City, she woke up at 8:00 am in the morning. To her surprise, she did not see Bluegreen-Clad beside her.

She got up and went to wash up in a daze. She looked around and found out that Bluegreen-Clad was not at home. She picked up her cellphone and called him. Bluegreen-Clad received the call immediately.

“Where are you?” she asked while wondering, “Didn’t he say that we’re going to meet his parents today?”

“I’ve come out to buy some breakfast food for you. I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me at home,” replied Bluegreen-Clad.

“Okay,” Zheng Xiaoguang said and then hung up the phone. Only five minutes later, she heard someone knocking on the door.

She immediately stood up and went to open the door. To her surprise, she saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door with some fresh vegetables and fruit in hand. She seemed to be around 40 years old and was dressed in simple clothes.

Upon seeing her, the middle-aged woman took her hand and asked cordially, “Ah, you must be Xiaoxuan’s girlfriend Xiaoguang, aren’t you? You look so cute.”

“Huh? Why does she know our names and our relationship? Is she the auntie Zhou that Bluegreen-Clad mentioned before?” Zheng Xiaoguang wondered.

She blinked at the middle-aged woman and said, “Nice to meet you, auntie. I’m Zheng Xiaoguang.”

“Nice to meet you too.” The middle-aged woman walked directly into the house while saying, “You haven’t eaten breakfast, have you? Auntie will prepare some food for you.”

Xunxun who had been devouring the dog food a moment ago ran to the middle-aged woman and rubber her feet upon catching her smell.

Zheng Xiaoguang shut the door and followed the middle-aged woman while saying, “Thank you, Auntie, but you don’t need to cook anything. Mingxuan has gone to buy breakfast.”

“Trust me. The food you buy outside can never beat home cooking.” The middle-aged woman said while tidying up the fresh vegetables and fruit she had bought. “Tell me what do you like to eat?”

Zheng Xiaoguang thought that it was rude to refuse such a warm-hearted person, so she hurriedly went into the kitchen and said, “Let me help you, auntie.”

The middle-aged woman gently pushed her out of the kitchen and said, “Come on, you’re a guest. How can I let you do these things? Go to the living room and sit down. I’ll cook some breakfast food for you very soon.”

Zheng Xiaoguang felt awkward when being pushed into the living room. She thought worriedly, “What should I do now? Although auntie Zhou is a domestic worker, but she’s still my senior. How can I let her prepare breakfast for me while sitting idly in the living room.” She stood at the door of the kitchen and could not decide whether to come in.

Right at this moment, the door of the house was opened, and Bluegreen-Clad walked in with some breakfast food in hand.

Zheng Xiaoguang considered him her savior and hurriedly told the middle-aged woman in the kitchen, “Auntie, Mingxuan is back.”

The woman immediately walked out. Upon seeing her, Bluegreen-Clad said, “Hi, mom.”

Zheng Xiaoguang was petrified..

In Shiny Sky, once a player slew another player in a PVP region, his or her ID would become red. When this player slew a certain number of players, he or she would be striken by a divine lightning activated by the game system. At this moment, Zheng Xiaoguang stood dumbfounded and felt as if she had been struck by such a lightning and did not have much blood left.

Bluegreen-Clad walked up to her and noticed the panicked look on her face. He immediately guessed what had happened. He looked at his mother and said complainingly, “Mom, didn’t you promise me to have lunch together. Why did you suddenly come here?”

To his surprise, his mother energetically protested. “I was bored to death as I was alone at home. Why couldn’t I come here? Besides, I can cook for my future daughter-in-law here.”

Bluegreen-Clad raised his eyebrows in surprise and retorted. “Mom, you usually don’t even bother cooking for me.”

“Come on, I’ve known you for more than twenty years. I often cooked for you when you were a child.” His mother glared at him and added, “And I’ve just met my future daughter-in-law. Shouldn’t I take care of her?”

“Alright, alright, you should take care of her.” Bluegreen-Clad did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Upon hearing that, his mother became increasingly confident. “What’re you doing? You should let her sit down right now!”

Bluegreen-Clad tightly held Zheng Xiaoguang’s hand and made her sit down while introducing his mother to her. “She’s my mother.”

Zheng Xiaoguang remained stunted for quite a long time before she stuttered, “Nice, Nice to meet you, auntie.”

Bluegreen-Clad’s mother beamed brightly. “Hi, sweet girl. I forgot to ask you just now. How did you meet Xiaoxuan?”

Zheng Xiaoguang threw a quick glance at Bluegreen-Clad and replied honestly, “I met him in an online game.”

When she thought that his mother was about to get angry, his mother asked, “Is it Shiny Sky?”

“Huh? You know the game!” Zheng Xiaoguang looked at her in surprise.

Bluegreen-Clad’s mother nodded and said, “Of course, Xiaoxuan often plays it. I want to learn how to play, but he keeps refusing to teach me.”

Zheng Xiaoguang had never expected to meet such a trendy auntie who was interested in online games during her lifetime. She looked at her with admiration while saying, “You really move with the times, auntie.”

Bluegreen-Clad sighed and explained. “Mom, that game is a bit difficult for you. I think mahjong game is a better choice for you.”

“Whew, how dare you look down on your mother?” She said grumpily and then began to tease Bluegreen-Clad.

She teased him for being harassed by some girls during his childhood and ridiculed his horrible cooking skills. She even told Zheng Xiaoguang that he used to be rumored to have a thing for his male assistant Xiaotan. She concluded that Bluegreen-Clad was a person with hidden passion.

When she excitedly said, “You know what. That Xiaotan was so scared that he nearly quit the job,” Bluegreen-Clad coughed to stop her. Beyond his expectations, his mother just ignored him and rolled her eyes at him.

She held Zheng Xiaoguang’s hand while pouring out her own “bitterness”. “You know what, Xiaoguang. My son was so quite when he was little. He was smart and considerate and seldom caused me troubles. But when he grows up and needs to find a girlfriend, he still keeps hanging out with guys. All his colleagues are guys too. He even hires a male assistant! Fortunately, he brought you home. Otherwise, I would believe that he would never marry a girl.”

“Mom, I have some friends who’re girls.” Bluegreen-Clad solemnly corrected.

His adorable mother instantly talked back, “But none of them are single, except your sister. For me, those married girls aren’t very different from your male friends.”

Upon seeing that Bluegreen-Clad was rendered speechless, Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but chuckle. Bluegreen-Clad felt somewhat grumpy and pinched her nose while saying, “How can you laugh at me? You’re so mean.”

“Because it’s so funny.” Zheng Xiaoguang said and naughtily stuck out her tongue.

When she had first heard Bluegreen-Clad’s sister mentioning their mother, she had just taken her description as a joke. She had never expected their mother to be such an open-minded and warm-hearted person.
