Lin Nan was completely dazed, her mind in chaos, having no idea what was happening.
If the black-clothed man before her was a thief, logically shouldn't he call out "Mom," then turn and run while she was in a confused state?
Moreover, that emotionally charged call really seed as if he truly was her son.
But this guy looked at least twenty-sothing years old. How could he possibly be her son?
Could it be that in the past online, or when she was little playing with friends, she'd jokingly called herself soone's mother?
Her thoughts temporarily fell into chaos, her mind wildly imagining all sorts of strange things.
Lin Nan was so frightened by the black-clothed person kneeling there that she retreated several steps, until her calves touched the cold bathtub and she stopped. Her head was also stimulated by the cold, instantly becoming clear.
Could it be Lilith's son?
"You've got the wrong person." Lin Nan still couldn't confirm whether the person before her was from another world. Afraid it might be a childhood playmate joking with her, she didn't dare directly ntion Lilith's na.
"I haven't mistaken you! Mom! I was wrong, I was really wrong!" The man kowtowed excitedly with loud banging sounds. Seeing that cracks had already appeared in the floor tiles, Lin Nan's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
How would I explain to Grandfather and Grandmother if this got damaged?
She glanced at the man's forehead. Despite kowtowing so forcefully, there was still no redness, and that skin was so smooth it seed pores were invisible. She imdiately confird her suspicion.
"I'm not Lilith, you've mistaken for soone else." Lin Nan sighed, knowing she'd encountered a situation like when she first t Lina.
Having that previous experience, she casually cast a purification magic on herself. Using magic should make the magical aura on her body more concentrated and easier for people to distinguish.
She continued explaining: "Look carefully, the magic power on my body is different from Lilith's. It’s just very similar."
Lin Nan felt very guilty, afraid that after this explanation the man would beco angry and violently attack. She had already quietly left the bathroom, gradually retreating to increase the distance between herself and this man.
However, during this ti Lin Nan had more or less seen Lilith's mories, especially each ti when searching for magic.
Lilith's son... an adopted boy picked up from a roadside trash can.
Yes, truly picked up from a trash can.
She had recalled this mory before. Comparing the mory with the black-clothed man before her… yep, they indeed looked exactly the sa.
If the mory wasn't wrong, this person belonged to the normal people of the other world, his appearance matching his age at around twenty-three, unlike the two non-humans Lilith and Lina.
He should be called... "Mom!"
Another affectionate call completely awakened her from the mory. She continued in her confused state: "No, didn't you sll that my magic power is different from your mom's!"
Back then, Lina had discovered Lin Nan wasn't Lilith precisely because Lin Nan had unlocked and used new magic. Why didn't the sa thing work here?
"I'm not listening, you are my mom!"
Lin Nan was quite frightened by the excited black-clothed man. Her face pale, she retreated several steps, then stepped on Cola's tail beside her. The pain made Cola jump up while hugging her tail.
She cursed while shrinking into the corner of the hallway, looking at her son's embarrassing appearance with disappointed anger.
Lin Nan carefully recalled, then rembered that the "son" before her actually didn't major in magic, and at only twenty-sothing years old, only had a rough understanding of magic.
So she pointed at her own face again and said seriously: "Look, if I were your mom, I would have already kicked you."
She began earnestly explaining what had happened to her during this ti, finally ntioning how she had completely beco a girl, and Lilith's soul had mysteriously disappeared from her body.
The black-clothed man hesitantly raised his head. Looking at Lin Nan's familiar yet strange face, tears imdiately stread down as he wailed: "My God, what great suffering did you endure to beco like this!"
Good grief... Lin Nan's face imdiately darkened, wishing she really could go over and give him a kick.
"Stop wailing, how am I supposed to explain if those people in the backyard hear?" She really had no solution. With Lina not by her side to help explain, it was difficult to explain clearly either way.
But if he kept crying, it would really alert Grandfather, Grandmother, and that group of relatives.
Lin Nan could only helplessly nod: "Fine, I'm your mom, stop crying."
She felt this sentence was particularly awkward. If it were "I'm your dad" it would flow much more smoothly.
But the black-clothed man still kept crying. Lin Nan really found it annoying and restless, also anxious that relatives might discover this guy's existence. In her urgency, she raised her foot and kicked him.
The black-clothed man was kicked over and imdiately stopped crying, looking pitifully at Lin Nan.
"Get lost! Don't let other people know about you!"
"I'll go right now! I'll go right now!"
Lin Nan watched as he nodded, but his body suddenly rged into the darkness, completely disappearing without a trace.
She looked around in surprise, not knowing whether this was invisibility or if this cheap son had really left.
What the hell was that? Was he really not a masochist??
She lost all interest in bathing and lay lifeless on the bed.
If the mory wasn't wrong, this son who made her suddenly a mother was personally nad by Lilith. Lilith was also terrible at naming, so she forcibly nad the son she picked up from the trash can Little Black. Later when this guy beca an adult, he did get a proper na.
Kant.
But how did this kind of thing fall on her? She'd only had a boyfriend for a few days and now ca a son??
A daughter would be acceptable at least!
"Sis, I think I just heard soone crying?"
Liu Xinyi pushed the door open and walked into the room, asking curiously.
"I accidentally turned up the Douyin volu too loud." Lin Nan explained without difficulty.
"I see? I also heard 'mom' or sothing..."
"Right? That person's son was kidnapped over ten years ago, and they were able to reunite him with his mother."
Liu Xinyi didn't suspect anything else and handed Lin Nan a charred sweet potato. It was a bit black, but at least the inside was edible.
Seeing Lin Nan take it, she began mocking Wu Jiaming again: "You don't know, cousin was so clumsy he knocked down the stove we worked so hard to build. Now they're planning to switch to fried skewers."
"Mm." Lin Nan nodded lifelessly, sitting on the bed, bending over the paper basket to peel the sweet potato.
"I'll call you again when it's fried, I'm going to cook so noodles by the way!"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
She looked suspiciously at Lin Nan's expressionless face and eyes showing powerlessness, feeling sowhat worried: "What's wrong? Did your boyfriend break up with you?"
Lin Nan unceremoniously stuffed the sweet potato into her mouth: "If you can’t have proper thoughts, then shut up!"
