he heard that his mother would be returning tomorrow, he sputtered in joy.
Jumping around with the phone in his hand, he asked, full of anticipation, “Great, great! Then, mommy, what time will you be back home tomorrow?”

“I haven’t booked the flight yet, so I don’t know.”

“Oh… Is that so…” He toned down instantly; disappointment was evident in his voice.

She could not bear to see him disappointed and quickly added, “Still, I’ll definitely try my best to rush home, all right?”

“All right!” His voice regained its vitality after hearing her promise.

“You must take good care of your younger brother when I’m not around; understand?” She reminded him solemnly.

Replying with ‘eh-eh’, he clapped his chest with confidence.
“My dear mommy, don’t worry! I’m taking good care of little bro!”

“Eh, good boy; wait at home for mommy!”

“All right!” he promised once more.

After putting down the phone, her eyes stared vacuously into the air.
Remembering how her manager had once brutally rejected her request for early return was enough to give her a headache.

“Is it too late to get an air ticket now?”

“There’s no need to book a flight.”

“?”

She looked at him quizzically.
“What do you mean?”

Mu Yazhe: “I have a private jet.”

Yun Shishi: “…”

The man added, “We’ll fly back to the capital directly tomorrow.”

She suddenly teased him with a faddish phrase from the Internet, “Tuhao[1], don’t you have enough bootlickers?”

The man smiled unscrupulously, pinched her chin, drew his face close to her lips seductively, and panted, “No, but I lack a bed warmer.”

Yun Shishi: “…”

What… a lowly man!

[1] Tuhao (土豪), which originally refers to people of wealth, has presently become a popular Internet slang for ‘uncouth nouveau riche’, ‘tacky’, or ‘extravagant’.
