Chapter 777: She Called Him Xiaobao
At this mont, the driver behind him asked Zhuang Long, “Brother, is that your mother?”
Zhuang Long shook his head in confusion.
“Isn’t it?” The driver was quite puzzled and even muttered sothing. After he finished speaking, he heard the man leaning against the car say softly, “I don’t rember what she looks like.”
The driver looked at him with pity.
The driver stared at the woman’s face as if he was sizing her up to see if there was any resemblance between her and Zhuang Long. After a mont, he said, “I think so. You two look quite similar.” He could not say why, but the feeling he gave off was very similar.
This was probably the legendary charm.
Zhuang Long was stunned. Did it look like it?
He stared at the woman’s face that was not considered young and smiled self-deprecatingly.
The woman stood at the entrance of the prison and looked around, as if she was waiting for soone. Like Zhuang Long, she did not know what the person she was waiting for looked like. A prison police officer in a police uniform was standing beside the woman and talking to her.
Seeing the prison policeman take out his phone as if he was about to call soone, Zhuang Long put out the cigarette in his hand and strode over.
A few ters away from the two of them, the woman finally noticed Zhuang Long. She stared at him in a daze, as if she was a little excited. She covered her mouth, and Zhuang Long saw her eyes gradually turn red. Zhuang Long’s expression did not change.
He walked forward and said to the prison policeman, “Hello, I’m Zhuang Long.”
The prison police seed relieved.
“That’s great. I thought you weren’t coming.”
Zhuang Long said, “Of course.”
Zhuang Long then looked at the woman, who was also sizing him up.
When he stood close, Zhuang Long realized that this woman was actually quite short. She was only as tall as his shoulder and was at most 1.63 ters tall. Zhuang Long quickly looked away. He felt unfamiliar with this person who was his biological mother.
The woman saw Zhuang Long’s reaction and was a little embarrassed.
“You…” She wanted to say sothing but found it difficult to say the words.
The woman gave up the desire to speak.
The prison policeman’s sharp eyes swept across the two of them. Finally, his gaze landed on Zhuang Long and stopped moving. He said to Zhuang Long, “Mr. Zhuang, this is your mother, Madam Xiao ng. She has been serving her sentence for 28 years and can finally be released from prison today. Mr. Zhuang, your mother has been in prison for too long and doesn’t know much about today’s society. I hope you can take care of her more in the future.”
Zhuang Long nodded calmly.
In his heart, he thought: So her na is Xiao ng…
Such a gentle na, but a murderer.
Hearing the prison police’s words, Xiao ng finally dared to believe that the handso man in front of her was really her baby. She looked at her baby and felt sour in her heart. When she was in prison, Xiao Bao was only seven years old. He was so thin and weak, and he was always timid when he looked at people, unlike now, where his gaze was always filled with arrogance.
Her Xiao Bao had secretly grown up in a place she could not see. He was even taller than her.
Xiao ng looked up at Zhuang Long with red eyes.
The prison police left quickly, leaving behind a mother and son that they had not seen for nearly thirty years.
Zhuang Long did not know how to address Xiao ng. He could not call her mother. If he did not, he would feel terrible. After a long silence, he said, “The driver is still waiting for us. Co with to the car.”
Xiao ng was stunned.
She could sense Zhuang Long’s resistance. She felt terrible, but she could understand.
After all, she had not seen Xiao Bao for 28 years.
After getting into the car, the mother and son were speechless.
When they reached the city, they got out of the car at the entrance of a hotel. After paying the driver, Zhuang Long brought Xiao ng upstairs. Standing in the elevator, Zhuang Long stood in front while Xiao ng stood behind. Zhuang Long played with the lighter in his hand and lowered his head, not looking at Xiao ng.
After a while, Xiao ng could not help but break the awkwardness.
She said, “I heard that you’ve beco a virologist. You developed an antidote to AIDS. Is that true?”
“…Yes.”
Zhuang Long told Xiao ng everything he knew.
Xiao ng was a little excited. She said repeatedly, “Xiao Bao is really amazing! You’re really promising.” She praised Zhuang Long a few tis in one go, just like Auntie Xianglin.
Zhuang Long frowned and did not find her annoying.
Zhuang Long only opened a suite with a bedroom and living room. Zhuang Long pointed at the bedroom and said to Xiao ng, “You sleep in here tonight. I’ll sleep in the living room. You can call if you need anything.” He brought Xiao ng into the bathroom and told her, “This is the bathroom. Take a shower first and change into new clothes later. If you don’t know how to do it, you can call .”
Xiao ng said, “I know these general knowledge.”
“Alright.”
Zhuang Long walked out of the bathroom and left the bedroom. He sat down in the living room and took out his phone. He asked a question in the Google browser—
How to get along with his mother, who he had not seen for 28 years.
No one answered his question. Perhaps this was an unpopular question.
That was true. How could there be a biological mother and son in this world who had not seen each other for twenty to thirty years?
Zhuang Long put down his phone. After a while, he heard the bathroom door open. He looked inside and saw Xiao ng walking out. She was wearing a blue cotton dress. Her black hair was tied up with a rubber band, making her look plain.
Zhuang Long took another look. The figure of a beautiful and gentle woman suddenly flashed across his mind.
That person was also wearing a blue dress. He stood in the kitchen with a bag of new vegetables in his hand. He smiled and asked him, “Xiao Bao, what are you eating for lunch today? Mommy will make it for you.”
Zhuang Long was stunned.
Was that person Mom?
He ca back to his senses and sized Xiao ng up.
Xiao ng tugged at her dress and was a little embarrassed. She said, “I haven’t worn a dress in many years. I keep feeling strange.”
Zhuang Long understood her discomfort.
Prison was a place that paid attention to discipline. People who were used to being tied up by pants were naturally not used to suddenly wearing a dress. It was the sa logic as people who had lost their freedom would suddenly feel uncomfortable when they were free.
Zhuang Long felt that Xiao ng looked good in a dress, so he said, “It’s good, you look better than you did just now.”
Only then did Xiao ng believe him.
She wiped her head and was about to sit down when Zhuang Long’s face darkened.
“You have to dry your hair, or you’ll get sick easily.” After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the bathroom cabinet to find the hairdryer. Zhuang Long hesitated for a mont before walking to Xiao ng’s side with the hairdryer. He turned the hairdryer on and said to Xiao ng, “I’ve never dried soone’s hair. If it’s too hot, tell .”
Xiao ng’s heart lted.
“Okay.”
Zhuang Long turned on the hot wind and blew Xiao ng’s hair clumsily.
