Chapter 18: Red Cheeks

Breakfast was the same as usual, millet porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs, but the stewed pork ribs were gone.

Mom sat at the dining table and sipped the porridge. I took a sneak peek when she wasn’t paying attention. She was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath. Her full breasts were sticking out high. She was wearing a pencil skirt and a pair of thin black stockings on her legs. Her sexy legs were long and straight, slender but not thin, plump but not fat. I couldn’t help but take a few more glances, and unfortunately, my mother saw it.

Mom threw the spoon in her hand heavily into the bowl and looked at me with gritted teeth: “You are a dog that can’t change its nature.”

I was so scared that I quickly lowered my head like an ostrich and kept pouring soup into my mouth to relieve my inner tension. Mom stared at me for a moment and didn’t feel like continuing to eat. She cleaned up the table and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, my mother came out of the kitchen and urged me: “Hurry up, change clothes after eating”

I was a little confused: “What are you doing?”

“Have you forgotten that you are a student?”

“Ah”

I nodded in confusion.

“Ah what? Change your school uniform and go to school with me”

When I heard it, I was immediately dumbfounded and said stupidly: “Go to school ... but my legs”

“Take my car, hurry up, don’t dawdle”

My mother interrupted me impatiently.

I felt cold in my heart. It seems that my mother is worried about leaving me alone at home.

·····

In the car, my mother drove the car expressionlessly. I sat in the co-pilot and didn’t dare to talk quietly. Since last night, my mother’s attitude towards me has changed, and she has returned to her previous cold appearance. I thought that after being beaten this time, my relationship with my mother became closer, but I didn’t expect that an accident would bring my relationship with my mother back to the original place.

Although I felt a little disappointed, I was helpless in front of my mother. She now completely regarded me as a rapist. She was even worried when I stayed at home alone. What else could she do?

“Just stop here and walk over by yourself”

My mother parked the car on the side of the road and said coldly.

I looked through the car window and saw that there was still a street away from the school. I had to go around half a circle to get to the school. I couldn’t help but make a bitter face: “Mom, this is still far from the school. Are you going to leave me here?”

“Five minutes will pass, get off quickly”

My mother took the schoolbag on the back seat and threw it to me, urging me to get off the car.

I said aggrievedly: “What if I’m late if I walk there? The first class today is our head teacher’s class”

“Can’t you walk faster?”

“But my knee hurts, I can’t walk fast”

“Then just walk slowly”

“What if I’m late if I walk slowly?”

I tried: “Why don’t you call our head teacher in advance”

My mother frowned and her face sank: “What are you thinking! Get off the car quickly, you won’t be able to get into the school gate if you dawdle for a while”

I picked up the schoolbag on my lap and muttered in a low voice with dissatisfaction: “You are so cruel”

My mother turned her head and said suspiciously: “What did you say”

“I said you are too cruel”

When my mother heard it, she immediately narrowed her eyes and stared at me word by word and said: “Say it again”

I made up my mind and said loudly with my neck stiff: “You are not cruel, you are like this to your own son, my knee was injured for you, you must have forgotten what you promised me that day”

My mother was stunned: “What did you say”

“When we were going down the stairs that day, did you promise me that you would not leave me alone?”

I stared at my mother with burning eyes and asked loudly.

I don’t know if my mother remembered it, but she was a little embarrassed. She turned her head to look at the front of the car and said to herself: “Did I say that?”

“I did”

“What’s the matter with saying that? The time is only that afternoon”

“You are making up excuses”

“Get out of the car quickly”

“I won’t”

“Are you itching again?”

As she said that, my mother raised her arm and made a gesture to hit me down.

“I’ll get out of the car”

I shouted hurriedly.

Although I was unwilling, I had to get out of the car obediently. If I didn’t get out of the car, my mother would beat me again.

Oh, it’s so difficult.

Standing on the side of the road with my schoolbag on my back, through the windshield, I looked at the faint smile on my mother’s face. Why do I feel more and more proud of her?

My mother drove away without even lowering the window to look at me. I was really her biological son.

I took out my phone to check the time. I was almost late, so I hurriedly ran towards the school.

“Gu Xiaonuan, Teacher Ning is really your mother”

“Yes”

“But why have we never heard you mention it?”

“Can I say my mother doesn’t let me say it?”

“That’s right, your mother is just like that Nun Miejue...”

After being glared at fiercely by me, the person who was still talking just now immediately shut up.

“Quickly get out of the way, class is about to start”

I pushed my hand to disperse the group of people surrounding my desk. Why are they all so curious?

At this time, Guo Chao said across the desk: “The next class is mathematics, right?”

Then the classmates surrounding me dispersed. It seems that my mother’s majesty is more effective.

“Gu Xiaonuan”

I looked at him in confusion.

“The next class is math, what do you think...”

“Hmm”

Guo Chao hesitated for a while: “Do you think your mother will ask me questions in class to make things difficult for me? If it wasn’t for me last time, you would...”

“No, my mother is not so narrow-minded”

I gave him a reassuring look.

“Stand up”

I stood up quickly, and with a glance, I saw my mother walking up to the podium in the same outfit she wore this morning, a black suit, a white shirt, a straight skirt, a pair of black stockings, and high heels, showing the charm of a mature woman.

Before, many male classmates in the class also discussed privately, saying that our math teacher in the class was really dressed coquettishly. When I heard them say that, I wanted to fight with them, but my mother didn’t allow others to know that I was her son, so I could only angrily say, “Don’t scold the teacher in private.” Once I was so anxious that I almost got into a fight.

Now, my mother-son relationship with my mother has been exposed in class. If anyone dares to gossip about me in private, I will have a reason to defend my mother.

“Gu Xiaonuan”

“Gu Xiaonuan”

A chalk head was suddenly thrown at me, which scared me. I looked up and saw my mother staring at me with a sullen face: “Gu Xiaonuan, you go to the stage to solve this problem”

“Guo Chao! Come up and solve another problem”

Guo Chao and I looked at each other in silence, with surprise written all over our faces.

Although my mother deliberately made things difficult, the questions she asked were not difficult. I could solve them in a minute by applying a few formulas. She put down the chalk and stood obediently beside the podium.

My mother turned around and looked at the blackboard, nodded and said coldly: “Go down, concentrate on listening in class in the future, and if you are distracted again, both of you will be moved to the corner at the back of the classroom to listen to the class”

I know that my mother said this specifically to me. As for Guo Chao, he was just a foil. My mother’s anger was mainly directed at me.

After school at noon, I stood in the corridor outside the teacher’s office waiting for my mother, thinking, I can’t let my mother leave me on the road like she did in the morning.

Now everyone in the class knows that my mother and I are mother and son, so why should I hide it? There is nothing shameful. Anyway, I have to take my mother’s car back home at noon today.

“Da, da, da, da...”

A very obvious crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor came from far away. I looked up and saw that it was my mother, holding a textbook in her hand, walking towards the teacher’s office. The students in the corridor all stepped aside to make way, fearing that they could not escape.
