Chapter 4: Aunt Wang’s House

After a long awkward moment, my father picked up a piece of meat for me and said with a wry smile:

“Your mother has this temper, and she is doing it for your own good.”

I nodded. Of course, I knew that my mother was concerned about me. On the contrary, I was more worried that my mother would be really angry with me. After all, I did so badly in the exam this time, and I was called to the parents’ office for smoking not long ago.

I ate a few bites casually, but I really had no appetite. I was afraid that my mother would be hungry, so I brought a bowl of food to the door of her room and knocked on the door. There was no response, so I turned the handle and opened the door.

My mother sat by the bed, her face cold, and it seemed that she was still angry. I brought the food to her with a look of knowing her fault,

“Mom, I know I was wrong, you should eat first.”

My mother glanced at me sideways,

“Now you know to care about me, why didn’t you think of it when you were angry with me?”

“Obviously you are too stingy.” I muttered in a low voice.

“What did you say? You want to be beaten again?” Mom pretended to beat me, and I hurriedly smiled.

“Yes, yes, I want you to beat me again, but I definitely don’t have the strength to do it without eating. I’ll eat first and then you can beat me.”

Mom’s anger subsided a lot, but she might be too embarrassed to eat, so she softened her tone and said:

“Put the bowl here first, I’ll talk to you.”

I did as she said and stood obediently by the bed. Mom sighed, held her forehead and said:

“Can you tell me what you are most afraid of? What on earth is going on in your head? Why are your grades plummeting?”

I glanced at my mother. She was wearing a black windbreaker. The tight high-necked sweater inside the windbreaker made her already plump breasts look even bigger. A pair of jeans perfectly showed off her fleshy, slender but not bony legs and wide hips. Her right leg was placed on her left leg, and her right toe was dangling in the air. The bear slippers hung on her feet and seemed to be about to fall off. She looked beautiful and charming with a lazy look.

I really wanted to tell my mother that I have been thinking about you recently, but it is impossible to tell a secret.

“Well ... I don’t know what happened. I haven’t been in a good mood recently and always want to sleep.” I made up a reason.

“Not in a good mood?”

My mother looked at me with suspicion, which made me feel guilty.

“Are you playing with something late at night without telling me?”

“How is that possible? You have confiscated my cell phone, computer and even comics. You have also checked my room. There is nothing to play with.”

Looking at my sincere waving, my mother also felt that her suspicion was wrong. After a moment of silence, she asked me in a strange tone,

“Are you ... making friends at school?”

“What?”

“I just want to ask what friends you made at school?”

“Friends? I have a lot of friends, such as Zhao Tianhu, Liu Bo, Zhang Tao...” I counted them with my fingers while speaking.

“Stop, stop, stop!” Mom made a stop gesture to stop me, “I’m not asking you that.”

I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mom meant. Mom coughed twice and continued:

“I mean, are you ... in love?”

I suddenly realized:

“You’ve gone through so much trouble to ask me such a question, you should just ask directly.”

“Don’t worry about it, just answer me.”

“This...” I pretended to be mysterious, and Mom also pricked up her ears curiously, “Really not.”

“Really not?”

“Really not.”

Seeing that my mother was still a little suspicious, I raised my hand and said four,

“I said four, if I lied to you, I would have no descendants.”

“Bah! What are you talking about!” Mom quickly stood up and slapped my hand down. I grabbed it and shook it like a spoiled child,
