Chapter 7 Even if the whole world can't see me, it's good enough if you can see me 5
Half an hour later.
"Mom, I'm back!"
As soon as I entered the room, a warm breath hit me in the face. I quickly closed the door and took off my coat which had been chilled by the wind.
The weather is cooling down too fast now.
"Why are you here so late? You didn't answer my call... Go change your clothes quickly, and I'll heat up some food." Seeing me come back, my mother let out a long sigh of relief and ran to the kitchen.
"I didn't hear any phone calls!"
I turned around and glared at Ye Jing warningly, indicating him not to follow me in. I went back to the bedroom and quickly changed into my pajamas. Then I went back to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and drank the hot milk tea that my mother had just made for me.
"I haven't heard it yet! I called you five times, but you didn't answer. I was so worried."
After a while, my mother heated up the food and brought it to the table: "Okay, come and eat."
"OK."
Sitting at the dining table, I was hungry, so I quickly ate a bowl of rice and finished most of the dishes.
"Haha... Have you not eaten for a month? You're just a little late, and you look so hungry..."
Ye Jing, who was sitting at another table with us, rested his chin on one hand and looked at me with disdain, "Luo Huayin, have you finished eating? You said on the way home that you would talk to Auntie about your ideas. Why are you pretending to be stupid again?"
I concentrated on eating as if no one was around, and then drank some juice guiltily.
I carefully glanced at my mother several times, and then she suddenly looked up at me.
I didn't have time to look away and bumped into my mother unexpectedly.
Well!
"Baby..." Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why do you always look at me?"
I coughed lightly and took a deep breath.
The arrow is on the string, it has to be shot! My mom has already asked, I must tell her... "Luo Huayin, come on, you will be able to finish this chicken leg after I finish telling you." Ye Jing was beside me, giving me the so-called "cheer up".
...Can you please not link such a serious family issue with eating chicken legs...Speechless, I still couldn't help but look at the chicken leg that was already in the bowl.
Uh, hurry up, or the chicken leg will get cold... Taking a deep breath, I plucked up my courage, put down my chopsticks, and looked up at my mother again.
"Mom, I have something to tell you." Without waiting for her to say anything, I blurted out all my thoughts in one go, "This is it, Mom, I have thought about it seriously and calmly, and I hope to continue living with you. That man... uh, or should I say my... dad... since he has left, let him go. I don't want to live with him anymore, and he has his own life too, so from now on we will just pretend that he has never been here and continue to live our lives happily. I will be very satisfied already."
This is the first time that I expressed my thoughts to my mother so firmly .
No dodging or hesitation.
As soon as I finished speaking, I was a little surprised... Is this really me? Unconsciously, I was able to put aside all my emotions, look at the problem calmly and seriously, and make judgments... "Great."
Ye Jing, who was sitting next to me, smiled, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the teardrop mole under the corner of her eye was particularly bewitching.
My mother looked at me blankly and kept looking at me for half a minute.
Finally, I saw my mother's eyes turn red, and then she looked away hastily, sniffed, and after calming down, she looked at me and smiled with relief: "Okay! Baby, mom knows... Let's live a good life!"
The matter was resolved in this way, and the stone that was pressing on my heart suddenly fell to the ground.
I also smiled and nodded happily, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating the chicken leg in the bowl again with a refreshed look on my face.
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Mom got up and opened the door.
While eating a chicken leg, I turned around and looked at the door.
"Uh!" The child at the door obviously didn't expect that it wasn't me who opened the door. He was slightly stunned, then pursed his lips nervously, "Hello, Auntie."
My mother was also stunned and looked at him in surprise: "Who are you?"
I hurriedly swallowed the large piece of chicken in my mouth and looked at him in disbelief: "Ye Zixi? Why are you here?"
Then, I looked at my surprised mother and explained, "Mom, this kid is from the junior high school of our school. His name is Ye Zixi. He is the younger brother of Ye Jing in our grade... Uh, Ye Jing, do you still remember him?"
Hearing this, the mother was startled, then hurriedly pulled him into the house and closed the door: "I know, I know! Come in quickly, are you frozen?"
Ye Zixi didn't react at all, and stupidly let my mother pull him to sit on the sofa in the living room: "Sit down first, auntie will make you a cup of hot milk tea." After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Son, have you eaten? If not, have something with Hua Yin, and auntie will cook you a dish."
"No...don't bother! Auntie!" Ye Zixi was shocked by this sudden hospitality. His face flushed red, and he took out a mobile phone hanging on a chain from his pocket somewhat at a loss, and placed it carefully on the coffee table in my house, "Ah...Auntie, I, I'm here to give a mobile phone to Sister Hua Yin. Her phone was left in the hospital. My mother saw that there were many calls from you in the phone , and she was afraid that you would be worried, so she asked me to bring it to you..."
Sister Hanane?
I was startled and burst out laughing, almost spitting out the rice I had just eaten.
"Mom, look at how enthusiastic you are and you scared the kid... I'm dying of laughter!"
My mother is soft-hearted. She knew about Ye Jing’s accident a long time ago and was sad for a long time. She wondered how a child of my age could have such a terrible accident... Now that she sees Ye Jing’s younger brother, she must be soft-hearted again.
Ye Zixi, who was sitting on the sofa, became more nervous because of my laughter, and her whole face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
"Huanyin! Why are you joking with Xiaoxi like this!" My mother immediately glared at me, then she brought out a cup of hot milk tea from the kitchen, gave it to Ye Zixi, and then sat on the sofa next to her.
After a while, my mother suddenly sighed and said with emotion: "This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful child, how could..." As she said this, my mother immediately stopped what she was about to say and suddenly turned to look at me, "Huanyin! You must take good care of Xiaoxi! Look at you, you don't even bring your own cell phone with you, and let your child come to give it to you so late at night."
What? Why should I take care of him more?
Before I could say anything, my mother looked at Ye Zixi with a distressed look on her face: "Xiaoxi, your family must be very busy recently. If you have anything to do, come to your aunt's house and I will cook for you."
…
Watching my mother sitting there and chatting with Ye Zixi about her well-being, I looked at Ye Jing speechlessly.
Unexpectedly, he looked at the two of them with a thoughtful expression.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
While my mother was talking to Ye Zixi and wasn't paying attention to me, I lowered my voice and asked him carefully.
Ye Jing suddenly narrowed his eyes, touched his chin with his slender and beautiful fingers, and looked serious.
"I think...if Auntie saw me, she would definitely think I was prettier."
