Chapter 114 Mother's Love
He Shu slept soundly, and it was almost dark outside, but he hadn't woken up yet.
At this time, the cell phone rang. He Shu thought he was dreaming. He waited until the ringing stopped before he opened his eyes in a daze.
I moved to get up, and it turned out that every part of my body was painful.
Especially my legs, which felt sore and swollen. The slightest movement would cause my whole body to tremble.
I picked up the phone and sure enough, there was a missed call from Xia Miao.
He Shu called back, and Xia Miao quickly picked up the phone: "Hey, He Shu, were you busy just now?"
"No, I just fell asleep."
"Sleeping till this time? Can you still sleep at night?"
He Shu hummed, and then heard Xia Miao say, "He Shu, do you remember the junior you met in the library when you first came to our school?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"He said he was your roommate's cousin, the one who hired someone to beat you up."
Xia Miao repeated what Wu Jie had said to her today, and then told He Shu her own guess.
"He Shu, I feel like they're not good people. If they call you to ask you out, don't go. Humph, you beat someone up and just apologize and that's it?"
He Shu listened to Xia Miao's angry voice and smiled: "Okay, I get it. You should be careful in school and don't talk to him in the future."
Xia Miao felt that He Shu's voice, just after waking up, sounded so gentle, and asked He Shu in a low voice if he was feeling better.
He Shu smiled bitterly. He was not beaten seriously by those guys. Instead, he was almost beaten to death by his uncle.
But his uncle was doing it for his own good, so He Shu would not blame him.
"My godfather and Uncle Zhang came over from Danhe. Uncle Zhang had a minor operation here. After they leave, I will go back to school."
He Shu spent some time in front of the phone with Xia Miao. He Shu was not a talkative person to begin with, so it was mostly Xia Miao who did all the chattering.
They talked about trivial daily things, such as which dish in the cafeteria she had eaten today was particularly delicious, and she would take He Shu to eat it when he returned.
She also had her eyes on a certain type of bicycle and wanted to wait for He Shu to go back and try it out. If possible, they would buy the same one.
Then she talked about the school activities, what she participated in, and some things about choosing a mentor...
Xia Miao's life at school is also very colorful. He Shu listens to her carefully and responds with a word or two from time to time.
Zhu Yu walked out of the room and was about to push the door open, but stopped when she heard He Shu talking on the phone inside.
She came to see He Shu several times in the afternoon, but He Shu was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice him, and Zhu Yu was reluctant to wake him up.
Dinner was about to start, so he went upstairs again.
Just as He Shu hung up the phone, there was a knock on the room. Zhu Yu pushed the door open and turned on the light in the room.
"Are you awake? Do you feel better after your sleep?"
Zhu Yu walked to the bedside and raised her hand to touch He Shu's forehead affectionately: "I saw that you were not in good spirits when you came back, and I was worried that you were sick."
"It's okay, auntie. I'm just tired."
"Then go down and eat first, and then you can rest early after the meal."
Zhu Yu found a coat for He Shu and said, "Put it on. It's cold at night. When your uncle comes back, tell him not to train with you anymore."
"Aunt, my uncle is doing this for my own good, and I want to practice."
"You want to practice?" Zhu Yu was stunned, his expression was difficult to describe.
"Well, aunt? What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?" He Shu knew his aunt's situation very well, so when he saw her like this, he was a little afraid that he had inadvertently irritated her again.
Zhu Yu hugged He Shu and suddenly began to cry softly, leaving He Shu at a loss.
"Aunt..."
"Don't you like painting? Don't you like playing ball? Son, let's not listen to your dad. Let's not go, okay?"
He Shu felt nervous for a moment. It was over. His aunt was confused again.
Zhu Yu cried with tears all over her face. She let go of He Shu and held his face with both hands: "Mom knows that you want to be like your grandfather and your second uncle. You told me that a man should serve the motherland, but you are my only child."
"Guangxing, if you leave, what will happen to Mom? Please don't leave again..."
"Your father is so cruel. How much have you suffered since you were a child? Why do you always say you want to practice every time mom asks you?"
Zhu Yu hugged He Shu again: "Tell mom that they forced you to do this, right? It's not what you wanted to do, you don't want it, right?"
What his aunt said was a bit incoherent, but He Shu already understood a lot of it.
Perhaps, Brother Guangxing really loves his choice, and my aunt is just reluctant to let him go from a mother's perspective and is just deceiving herself.
So all along, Brother Guangxing has been sticking to his choice.
He suddenly understood what his aunt once said: without firm beliefs, how can one have the courage to risk one's life?
Although He Shu never knew how Brother Guangxing died and what mission he was carrying out, He Shu believed that it was absolutely impossible that he was forced by his uncle.
During this period, his uncle was still very strict with him, but He Shu could feel that his uncle did not interfere with his future thoughts.
Letting him exercise is just to enable him to protect himself no matter what difficulties he encounters in the future.
My aunt's tears flowed down He Shu's neck, and every drop burned his skin like lava.
He Shu stretched out his arms and gently hugged his aunt back: "Aunt, Brother Guangxing chose what he liked best. Even if it cost him a price, he must have never regretted it."
"Brother Guangxing is your child. He is so outstanding. You should be proud of him, right?"
"Aunt, Brother Guangxing will be remembered by the countless people he has rescued and helped. He definitely doesn't want to see you so sad every day. You have to live a happy life so that Brother Guangxing can feel at ease."
This has been said before by many people, but Zhu Yu could never get over it.
But the He Shu in her eyes at this moment was her son Qi Guangxing.
Zhu Yu slowly sat up straight, staring at He Shu's face with her slightly red and swollen eyes.
Her eyes were a little confused and her vision was a little cloudy. He Shu's young and handsome face and Qi Guangxing's face kept merging and separating before her eyes.
"Son, do you really not regret it? Are you scared? Mom regrets so much that I let you leave home. Please don't blame me, okay? If I had stopped you..."
He Shu's throat tightened, he pursed his lips, and a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"m...mom"
Zhu Yu's body trembled and tears burst out.
He Shu lowered his head and took his aunt's hand, taking a breath: "Mom, thank you for loving me so much."
"Your son has done a great job and brought honor to you and the Qi family. You should be happy and stop torturing yourself like this."
Zhu Yu suddenly covered her mouth, unable to suppress her crying any longer.
"Guangxing, my good son..."
