Chapter 56: It’s , Ye Sui; Look At ! (1)
The next morning, before Chen Shu could leave the house, Ye Sui had already gone to work. He received a phone call and heard a woman’s guilty voice on the other side. “Chen Shu, it’s .”
Chen Shu’s mood sank. Even though the person had not contacted him for a long ti, he still recognized the voice after so many years.
The caller was his mother, who had been away for many years.
Chen Shu lowered his voice, a hint of coldness rging in it. “What’s the matter?”
Right at that mont, Ye Sui had returned ho to get sothing: her phone, which she dropped, and was about to leave. But then, she glanced casually and noticed Chen Shu’s room’s door was open.
Wanting to say goodbye to Chen Shu, she walked to the front of his room. As the door was slightly ajar, she heard his indifferent voice coming from inside. “Why are you calling now that you’ve left?”
Ye Sui looked over as Chen Shu added, “Since the day you left, you were no longer my mother.”
With this sentence, Chen Shu hung up the phone.
This was the first ti that Ye Sui had seen Chen Shu’s expression so indifferent. He was holding his cell phone, his jaw was stiff, and his body was taut. It seed that he was not used to talking to his mother.
The book ntioned that Chen Shu and his mother had a bad relationship. When Chen Shu was a teenager, she left ho and never ca back.
Ye Sui watched Chen Shu for a while and knew that this was his private affair. Right now, he needed silence and so alone ti. Therefore, she left quietly.
Chen Shu hung up the phone and sat there, not noticing the existence of Ye Sui.
His mother left ho when he was very young. The lack of maternal love all year round and the bad mories of childhood, though a long ti had passed, still followed him, just like a shadow.
Those unhappy mories all turned into hidden scars, quietly engraved in his bones. Although painful to recall, he still clearly rembered them.
Chen Shu sat there in silence, seemingly enshrouded in shadows.
After Ye Sui finished her work, she went ho, took a shower, sat on the sofa, and watched TV. Yet, she suddenly felt lonely. Looking around, Chen Shu still was not back.
Although Chen Shu didn’t say much, the relationship between them was much better than before. At night, they would usually chat on the sofa.
Chen Shu was not at ho now, so she felt lonely and cheerless.
Ye Sui looked at the ti. It was 8:30 p.m. now, half-an-hour past Chen Shu’s usual ti to return every day.
One day before, Chen Shu also ca ho very late, and that night, he sleepwalked. In addition, Ye Sui had heard his conversation with his mother at noon. As a result, she was worried.
Ye Sui watched TV absent-mindedly, her mind thinking about Chen Shu. She looked back from ti to ti and glanced at the clock on the wall. As seconds ticked by, he still had not returned ho.
After a while, the door finally opened. When Ye Sui saw Chen Shu coming back, she felt relieved. He changed his shoes with his head down, making it difficult for her to see his expression.
Chen Shu ca in and was about to go straight to his room; however, suddenly, Ye Sui tentatively asked, “Chen Shu, when will you sleep tonight?”
Chen Shu didn’t look at Ye Sui and uttered in a very low voice, “I’ll sleep soon.”
Ye Sui was not at ease and said, “If you can’t sleep, you can have a cup of hot milk before going to bed.”
Chen Shu just humd and turned back to his room. Ye Sui looked at his lonely back and frowned, hoping that he could have a good night’s sleep.
It was late at night, and the moon also hid behind the clouds. The surrounding area was filled with tranquility as Ye Sui fell asleep. But then, a sound was suddenly heard.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
