Chapter 778: Mothers Are the Sa
Even after drying Xiao ng’s hair, Zhuang Long had never scalded her.
“Done.” Zhuang Long bent down to pull the plug.
Xiao ng touched her dry hair and smiled. She said, “Xiao Bao is still so sensible. Aweso.”
Zhuang Long was stunned.
He stood still with the hairdryer in his hand.
Xiao ng turned around in confusion and looked up at him. Seeing that he seed to be deep in thought, she asked softly, “Xiao Bao, what’s wrong?”
Zhuang Long asked, “Did you always call Xiaobao?”
This ti, it was Xiao ng’s turn to be surprised.
“Yes, have you forgotten?” Xiao ng could not smile anymore, and her face was filled with sadness. “You don’t rember…”
This was not what surprised Xiao ng the most. There was sothing else that surprised her even more. Zhuang Long said, “I don’t rember.” He saw Xiao ng’s eyes widen and felt sorry for her, but he still told Xiao ng the truth honestly. “I don’t rember many things. About you, Dad, and our family.”
Zhuang Long had sothing on his mind, so he did not notice the panic in Xiao ng’s eyes when he ntioned her father.
“I’m sorry, I forgot about you.” Zhuang Long had always thought that his mother was dead. In his mory, his parents were indeed dead. That was why he was so surprised when he received a call from the prison last night. After saying that, Zhuang Long looked down at Xiao ng’s expression.
Xiao ng heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Long found it strange.
Why was she reacting like this?
Ding Dong—
The doorbell rang. Zhuang Long put down the hairdryer and opened the peephole to see the waiter pushing the dining car. He opened the door and tipped the waiter. After he left everything behind, he said to Xiao ng, “Let’s make do with eating first. We’ll go out to eat tonight.”
Xiao ng smiled and said, “That’s good.”
During the al, the mother and son still did not talk much.
After dinner, Xiao ng was a little tired. According to her prison habits, she should be taking an afternoon nap at this ti. Xiao ng felt very bad. She wanted to stay with the child for a while, but she was old and her biological clock was playing tricks on her, so she dozed off.
Zhuang Long could not bear to see her like this and planned to carry her to the bed.
Just as she got close to Xiao ng, Xiao ng suddenly woke up.
Seeing that it was Zhuang Long, she was relieved.
Seeing that she was awake, Zhuang Long stopped hugging her.
“Go to bed and sleep,” Zhuang Long said.
Xiao ng nodded and stood up. “I have to sleep for a while at noon. It won’t be long. Half an hour will do.”
“It’s okay. It’s okay to sleep a little longer.”
After Xiao ng returned to her room to rest, Zhuang Long lay down on the sofa. He turned on his phone and logged into OK. He saw that he had hundreds of ssages that he had not read. He entered the group and scrolled through the ssages online. He realized that everyone was talking about him.
It was unknown who leaked the news. Now, everyone knew that Zhuang Long, who had always called himself an orphan, actually had a biological mother who was still alive.
Everyone was good friends. They were all talking about Zhuang Long and his mother in the group. Suzanne was curious about what cri Zhuang Long’s mother had committed to be sentenced for so many years. Zhuang Long, Yan Nuo, and the rest were concerned about another question. Why did Zhuang Long not rember his mother!
Everyone discussed for a long ti, but there was no conclusion.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Long spoke in the group.
Zhuang Long: [Now that she’s in San Francisco, I have mixed feelings. When I saw her, I couldn’t recognize her. She was 59 years old and had been in prison for 28 years. At that ti, she should have been very young. I don’t rember her na or her appearance. It was only this morning that I found out that her na was Xiao ng. She had a very gentle na. I only found out at noon that she looked very good in a dress. I vaguely rembered so things. It was probably when I was very young. She always liked to wear a blue dress. She stood in the kitchen and asked what I wanted to eat for lunch…]
After Zhuang Long sent this ssage, he was very excited.
In the group, everyone appeared, not knowing what to say. Suzanne sent a hug emoji.
Fang Yusheng said: [This is fine. It’s better than when I was young. I always thought that I was Fang Pingjue’s son, but in the end, I was actually soone else’s child. To be honest, I spent those few days in a daze. Now that I think about it, I still feel that it’s ridiculous.]
Yan Nuo: [When I found out the truth about my mother’s death, I also found it ridiculous.]
Ji Yinbing: [In that case, I’m the most normal person who knows that I suddenly have a brother from the sa mother.]
Realizing that everyone’s lives were quite ssed up, Zhuang Long felt a little comforted.
He wrote again: [I just found out that she likes to call Xiaobao.]
Yan Nuo: [Zhuang Xiaobao.]
An: [Xiao Bao.]
Ji Yinbing: [Xiao Bao.]
Suzanne: [Be good, Xiao Bao. Don’t feel bad.]
Zhuang Long’s stomach was filled with sorrow, and he was teased by this group of bad friends.
Zhuang Long: [Alright, I’m feeling much better. Thank you.]
The group fell silent.
Zhuang Long logged out of the OK app and opened another social dia app. He stared at Xiao Li’s profile picture for a long ti. He especially wanted to ask Xiao Li if she had long known about Xiao ng, but he did not dare to ask. He was afraid that Xiao Li was hiding more from him.
He only sent Zhuang Qilin a ssage: [I’ll be back tomorrow.]
Zhuang Qilin quickly replied: [What does Grandma like to eat? I’ll get the chef to prepare it.]
Zhuang Long did not know either.
When Xiao ng woke up, Zhuang Long pretended to unintentionally ask about Xiao ng’s eating hobby. The reason was that he wanted to understand her past. Xiao ng smiled especially gently and did not think too much about it. She said honestly, “I especially like spicy crayfish. When I was young, I always made it for us to eat together. You don’t like Sichuan pepper, but you like the numbing taste.”
Zhuang Long rembered it and asked, “What else?”
“I don’t have anything I especially like to eat, but I rember that you like fried pumpkin balls and celery. Your favorite food is celery stir-fried intestines.”
Zhuang Long’s heart ached when he heard this.
She only rembered his hobby. What about her own?
Zhuang Long said in a muffled voice,
Were all mothers like this?
In the afternoon, Zhuang Long brought Xiao ng shopping. Xiao ng had not been out of prison for too many years and was very reserved everywhere. She could not tell what the current trend was, so she asked Zhuang Long to buy so for her. Realizing that those clothes were especially expensive, Xiao ng was a little uneasy. “You spent so much money. It’s too expensive.”
Zhuang Long asked, “How were our living conditions in the past?”
Xiao ng said, “It’s alright. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing. You can’t be considered rich. Occasionally, you will buy one or two luxurious things, but you won’t spend money recklessly like you.” At this point, she thought of sothing and asked Zhuang Long, “Xiao Bao, are you married? After you get married, your expenses will be greater, and you can’t spend money recklessly.”
Zhuang Long was speechless.
