"Mom…"

Su Mo was short of breath, and his heart was in a turmoil. He was more astonished than being hit by a flash of lightning.

"Mom, I'm 26 years old. I've been a man for 26 years. You have a son, not a daughter! What are you thinking about? Nonsense!"

"My son, of course, I've always expected that you can bring me a daughter-in-law home. But, a good man is also OK. You should hold him; or he may marry others. Where can I get such a good man as my second son?"

"But I am not a gay."

"You can cultivate feelings after marriage."

"I do not want to marry now."

"You have to, sooner or later."

"It's not the time of arranged marriage."

"So I'd like you to come back and see Xing Biao. You can meet each other first, and then get married if you feel not bad. Then you can cultivate feelings after marriage."

They had communication barriers. No, they could not communicate with each other. His mother always had excuses, as if he had to marry to that man or he would let his mother down.

"How can you decide to marry me to a man, mom? I'll make the decision on my marriage. I'll never marry a man! I'm a man, too, mom. I'm a man, too!"

"Mo…"

Su Mo yelled at his mother to show his own standpoint that he would never marry a man. But, he failed to maintain his momentum with justice when his mother choked with sobs and called his pet name.

"Why are you crying? I'm the person who should cry."

Su Mo was afraid of nothing but tears of his mother. Every son was afraid of his mother's tears.

"Mo, I make the decision for you. If you do not come back and see Xing Biao, you know we live on the 10th floor and I may jump down from the window..."

Su Mo sighed, and he was so familiar with the trick. It was played in teleplays of Qiongyao in 1980s and teleplays about sorrows at present. The poor actress was forced to marry a man she did not love, and her mother usually adopted this trick.

"Mom, you may change another trick. This one has been used repeatedly."

Su Mo's mother stopped, and her son was too clear to be cheated.

"Mom, I'll never come back no matter what you plan or arrange. I'll never marry a man. You may regard that…Biao…as another son if you really like him. You can introduce another man to him and you can live together. I can make the room for him. I've handed in my paper, and many law offices would like to employ me. I can live a good life abroad in virtue of my ability. I feel relieved if he can regard you as his mother, because he will take care of you. That's all. I regard what you said as words uttered in your sleep. Never mention them again."

Su Mo stood up by sustaining the wall and moved his leg. s.h.i.+t! He chased the thief for 1.5 km and beat him without any injury. But he sprained the ankle due to astonishment and suffered from severe pains at this point. He thought he might need to see a doctor.

Before he hung up, his mother blinked eyes to his father nearby.

Su Mo's father shook his head and waved his hand. He refused to combine to cheat their son. Their son was clear and looked calm. Although he had been a dutiful son, the one cheated him wouldn't get a good result.

Su Mo's mother kicked her husband on his leg.

"Ouch", groaned Su Mo's dad.

Su Mo heard this. He forgot the pains on the ankle and talked through the mobile phone.

"Mom, what's wrong with dad?"

"You disobedient son, your dad is so angry that… honey, honey, why are you pressing your pit of the stomach?" Su Mo's mother dropped the mobile phone, held Su Mo's father and yelled to the mobile phone.

Auntie Su, you are clearer than your son! Mo, just marry the right person. Hey, do not glare at me. I will not be enchanted by you!
