Zhou Mingrui couldn't see his parents expression clearly , he didn't dare to stare at them directly , he felt a mix of emotions , he was happy , sad , pained , all in one feeling.
Naturally advancing to a Great Old One meant ones humanity was declining , but this was one of his strongest emotions thus generating a reaction even now.
"Thank you , both of you are already helping me quit a lot even if you didn't realise that , you are right it would be a bit troublesome for me to spill the tea , I wish we ... ah , never mind." Zhou Mingrui raised his head , meeting the gaze of his parents directly for the first time , he exhaled and continued "if you really want to help me though , please spend some time with me for today."
Even when his parents didn't fully grasp the situation , they still spent time with him.
Firstly they finished their dinner , next they agreed to play some video games. Actually , his parents didn't really like such things but if it meant they could cheer up their son , it would be worth it.
After that they also watched TV together , "haha I really like this old show I am glad they are re-streaming it." His father had a happy expression. "It is indeed pretty interesting I can't lie about that." And as if she wanted to get involved in the conversation , his mother continued on , "Ahaha Mingrui you should really watch more shows from the past , back then we had plenty of good things including shows that aren't found nowadays anymore , seriously modern stuff aren't comparable to ours back in the days."
Zhou Mingrui asked "aside from good TV shows what else did you have and think it is better than now ?"
"Do you think all good things are related to technology ? Back in my days instead of those cheap video games we used to play traditional games that were far more interesting and more fun than those video games of yours ! On top of that life was simpler , we went to school , played with our friends , met our relatives each weekend , and that's pretty much it , heh but most importantly the prices weren't as high as now , seriously why everything became expensive."
Klain decided to continue with the games topic – as a fellow keyboard warrior he himself wasn't such a social person and back then he didn't have much friends either , so after talking about traditional Chinese games such as "Pitch-pot" , "Flower Stick" , and so on , the time was already late.
"Goodnight dad , goodnight mom , thank you for your time today." Both of his parents smiled gently. "Don't worry about that it's our duty as a parents , now go get some rest , see you tomorrow."
Hearing this Zhou Mingrui felt his heart ache for a bit , he smiled weakly and said "see you tomorrow."
"Don't show such a face it doesn't suit you."
"I know it's been hard for you , you did a great job Mingrui , no need to push yourself hard all the time , you are human you need rest from time to time too."
Zhou Mingrui lost his words momentarily there , it was as if his parents knew exactly what he needed.
"Yes , you are right , I am human I need rest , I will make sure to rest more often so don't worry about me anymore."
"Of course we will worry , we are parents after all it can't be helped , we are glad that you will consider resting more , we love you."
This made Zhou Mingrui feel like he returned to his old self , before everything before the transmigration , he was truly happy to hear this again for the last time. "I .. ah , thank you."
"You don't have to be so nervous we know you love us too , goodnight take care." His mom chuckled as they entered their room.
