Chapter 75: Before Returning Home (1)
"Pfft! Tang Er's outfit really does make him look like a member of the underworld." Just then, Liu Ying saw her son walk out of his room wearing a black windbreaker, oversized sunglasses, and a hat, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Underworld?" Song Tang couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard his mother's words. Ever since he became a celebrity, almost every time he went out, he had to go through a careful dressing process. This also made Song Tang wonder if he had chosen the right path in the first place. However, at this point, Song Tang no longer had any other choice. Since he chose this path, he must resolutely move forward.
"No way, who made your son me a celebrity now?" Song Tang took off his hat and smiled.
"Alright! I know my son is famous now, but... " Liu Ying smoothed out Song Tang's slightly wrinkled clothes, and the two of them left the hall under the gaze of Song Tang's father, Song YaoHui. Only when Song YaoHui saw his son's figure disappear from view with Liu Ying did he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Although the winter solstice has passed, Los Angeles, with its Mediterranean climate, is not cold. With Christmas approaching, colorful festive decorations filled the streets, and the number of people on the streets and in shops increased significantly compared to usual times. However, there were very few people dressed like Song Tang. Song Tang, holding onto Liu Ying's arm, couldn't help but curse himself for being foolish as he noticed the curious glances from passersby. Wasn't this a classic case of "hiding one's true wealth"? Why tell others that he was a famous person and make it inconvenient to meet with everyone? Fortunately, Song Tang's disguise was thorough enough, although it sparked some curiosity, no one could see his true appearance, and nothing out of the ordinary happened.
But the painful thing that Song Tang had been dreading finally happened. He thought he was just accompanying his mother Liu Ying to buy Christmas gifts and then go home, but when they got to the street, Song Tang realized that women who go shopping are not to be underestimated. Although Liu Ying is already in her forties, she has no problem keeping up with Song Tang's pace while shopping, even though Song Tang usually exercises regularly and has a better physique than average people. After a whole day of shopping, Song Tang was exhausted and didn't want to move anymore, but at this time, Liu Ying still wanted to continue shopping for a while. Fortunately, the sky was already getting dark, so Liu Ying reluctantly followed Song Tang home with several big bags of stuff.
Under the anticipation of everyone, Christmas finally arrived. After the bell rang at midnight, it meant that the first Christmas had arrived since Song Tang's rebirth. At this time, Song Tang finally received the gift he had been "yearning for". Although the gift Song Tang received was not something valuable, it made him feel the warmth of family affection. In his previous life as an orphan, Song Tang didn't have any relatives to speak of. If there was anyone to thank, it would be the old man from the orphanage who took him in back then. However, after the old man passed away, every time others were celebrating with their families, it was also the loneliest time for Song Tang. But now, things are better - not only does he have a good family background, but he also has a happy family.
"Ding ding ding~~~" Just as Song Tang was lamenting that heaven was not treating him badly, the crisp phone ringtone filled the room. Song Tang looked at the familiar number on the phone and couldn't help but smile slightly, then answered the phone and said ambiguously: "Dear sweetheart, Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas! Dear Tong, I'm so sorry that as your girlfriend, I couldn't be with you this Christmas,"
Listening to the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, feeling the apologetic tone in Jessica's voice, Song Tang smiled and comforted her: "Hehe, my sweetheart, although I also want to spend a happy Christmas with you, but you know, I want you to be a filial daughter even more. So don't have any burden on your mind, just have a happy Christmas, got it, sweetheart?"
"Heh heh, okay, Tang, but you can't forget my Christmas present, got it?" Jessica said with a chuckle after a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
"Of course, how could I forget the gift for my sweetheart? But unfortunately, my sweetheart won't be able to receive it on Christmas today."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I have mine, it's okay if it's late, I don't care!"
"Darling, my dad wants to meet you." Jessica said with a somewhat heavy tone after being stunned for a moment.
After hearing Jessica's words, Song Tang's heart suddenly thudded, could it be that his relationship with Jessica had already been known by her parents, or the two were not very satisfied with their interaction. For a moment, Song Tang didn't know what to say and was stunned on the spot.
On the phone, Jessica saw Song Tang not speaking for a long time and thought that Song Tang was unwilling to meet his dad and mom. For a moment, Jessica asked anxiously: "What's wrong, Tang? Are you willing to see Dad and Mom?"
Song Tang heard Jessica's urgent voice and suddenly knew that Jessica had misunderstood her meaning, so she patiently said: "Hehe, not sweetie, just a little curious for a while, didn't react in time, did Uncle and Aunt know about the two of us?"
"Yes, dear! When I got home, my mom asked me if I had a boyfriend, so I told her about us. But neither Mom nor Dad said anything against us, they just said they want to meet you." Jessica explained.
After listening to Jessica's explanation, Song Tang finally put his heart at ease. For a beautiful and lovely girl like Jessica, both Song Tang and his mother were quite satisfied. However, if they couldn't pass the test of Jessica's parents, Song Tang would still be somewhat regretful. Fortunately, things didn't turn out as bad as he had imagined.
After understanding the situation, Song Tang smiled and said: "Hehe, no problem, sweetheart. I also want to meet my dear father-in-law and mother-in-law."
After seeing Song Tang's frank reply, Jessica was still a bit shy but mostly happy. Although she didn't know what her parents thought of Song Tang, she had finally gotten the news that her boyfriend was willing to come over.
After that, Song Tang chatted with Jessica about some happy things and they hung up the phone. However, even though it was like this, nearly an hour had passed. Just as Song Tang thought of resting, his mobile phone rang again. Originally because he had walked around all day and was very tired, wanting to rest, but seeing that it was Angelina calling, he could only endure the pain of who felt tortured and answered the phone: "Dear Angie, Merry Christmas!"
"Oh, God! Finally got through the phone call, Merry Christmas, dear Tong." As soon as Song Tong finished speaking, he heard Angelina's complaining voice on the other end of the phone. Song Tong smiled and said: "Hehe, sorry dear, I accidentally talked to Jessica for a bit too long just now." "Tong, can't you just lie to me and say that you didn't hear anything because you were too busy? I'm a woman too, I get jealous!" After hearing Angelina's words, Song Tong smiled slightly and said: "Sorry dear Anji, I won't lie in front of my own woman, nor will I cheat on my own woman." "Fine! Tong, you win, I have nothing to say to you. Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry?" Angelina said. "Hehe, so dear, are you angry now?" Song Tong smiled and asked...
Song Tang finally made it through the conversation with Tong An Jilina, but then came Monica, Charliez, Sophie and a few other women who were close to him, followed by George, Steven, John, Danny and others calling to wish him a Merry Christmas. After several hours, Song Tang saw that no one else was calling him, but when he looked at the time on his phone, it was almost dawn. Seeing this situation, Song Tang also didn't have the heart to sleep anymore.
After Song Tang got up, he first ran around the Song family for a few laps, then practiced boxing for a while, until Song Tang was sweating and felt much more comfortable.
"Master, your boxing skills have improved again." Unbeknownst to him, Li Bo appeared beside Song Tang, wearing a martial arts uniform, and exclaimed as he watched Song Tang practice. "Li Bo, good morning! Merry Christmas," Song Tang said, stopping his movements. "Hehe, we Chinese don't follow Western customs," Li Bo said with a wave of his hand.
Song Tang was speechless when he saw the stubborn Lee Bolton, although Lee had been in the United States for decades, but still under the influence of old traditions, he couldn't get used to these Western things, just like Song Tang's grandfather's thinking, and Song Tang could only shake his head helplessly.
"The young master's boxing skills are already very good, if there is also the inner energy and mental method of boxing to assist, it may be even better." "Really has internal power?" Hearing Li Bo's words, Song Tang couldn't help but exclaim. "Hehe, Chinese martial arts blend with China's thousands of years of civilization, this is nothing surprising, however, with the development of technology, in recent decades, although martial arts have declined somewhat, except for big schools like Wudang and Shaolin, basically they are all fancy moves, not very practical."
After listening to Li Bo's words, Song Tang finally felt at ease. After all, he had also studied a set of mind methods for cultivating Qi from the "Huangdi Neijing". Although he didn't know what kind of strange and unusual energy was flowing through his body, whether it belonged to the category of internal Qi or not, thinking about this made Song Tang puzzled. The mind method for cultivating Qi that he had grasped was indeed strange. No matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't see any progress, only when he had a relationship with women did it become particularly active. It seemed that he would have to find an expert to ask when he had the chance. Although in his past life he had also deeply studied Daoist culture, due to various reasons, he hadn't actually come into contact with anyone who practiced internal Qi cultivation, so he didn't understand this aspect either!
