Zhai Jing read the last sentence of the message several times in silence. His eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of affection.

He looked at the half-edited and boring message and finally deleted it. He wrote again,

“I’ll try my best, but I’m afraid I can’t control myself.”

In the end, he hesitated for a moment and deleted it word by word.

“Then can I ask you to be more diligent and come to my mind, heart, and ear more often?”

Zhai Jing thought about it repeatedly but still deleted it. In the end, he deleted everything and only replied with a simple “okay.”

After he replied, Zhai Jing felt a little conflicted. Would this make his attitude seem too cold? So he thought for a moment, looked around in the expression package, and finally picked a cute expression package with “I love you” and sent it.

Zhai Jing was finally satisfied when he saw the adorable little one giving out a red heart. It was also at this moment that he understood why some people liked to add emojis when they were chatting. It was because they could accurately express their emotions without making people feel embarrassed.

After thinking through the benefits of it, Zhai Jing specially downloaded many sets of memes from a memes website, especially those that were obviously designed for couples. He downloaded four to five of them in a row.

Seeing him smiling and frowning at the phone, Mother Zhai guessed who the person on the other side was.

She put down her chopsticks.

“The doctor said that I’m recovering well and can be discharged this weekend. Do you want to invite Le Wan over to our house? It just so happens that I’m feeling better, so I can make some delicious food to entertain her.”

Mother Zhai didn’t know that Le Wan was a Senior High School student, nor did she know that her son had taken the college entrance examination with her. So, she proposed such a simple way of thanking her, and at the same time, she wanted to take the opportunity to make her son like her more.

When Zhai Jing heard this, he paused for a moment. He didn’t know how to tell her about this.

When he made the decision, his mother had just finished her surgery and was in a bad state of mind, so he didn’t discuss it with her. After that, when her mother’s spirit got better, he forgot about this matter again.

Zhai Jing thought for a while. He put down his phone and sat in front of the bed.

“Mom, are you willing to go to the capital with me?”

Seeing how serious he was, Mother Zhai’s heart started to beat faster.

“Why are you suddenly asking this?”

“I went to the principal to apply for this year’s college entrance examination. I want to apply for the capital university.”

According to his original plan, he would finish three years of high school at Mingcheng high school and complete the task assigned by the principal. Then, he would choose a local university to attend.

Because her health was getting worse and worse, he was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to get her kidney, so he didn’t want her to leave the familiar environment and follow him everywhere.

However, things were different now. Le Wan had appeared in his life like the light of dawn, saving his mother and him.

Now that Zhai Jing could pursue more things, he had changed his plan. However, he was still worried about his mother’s health, so he still hoped that she could go to the capital with him.

“I still have a few hundred thousand yuan left, and Dahong Corporation pays me my salary on time. So, even if we go to the capital, we can still live well.”

Zhai Jing told her about his plans one after the other.

“I don’t think we could apply for a night out during our first year of university. We can rent a house near the school. If you stay there, I’ll be able to come back sooner or later to eat the food you make. When you’re better, you can find something to do nearby. That way, you won’t be too bored at home alone.”

As she listened, his mother couldn’t help tearing up.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll listen to you.”

How could she bear to blame him for acting on his own? Zhai Jing was such a smart child. He should have been the eagle that soared in a wider sky. However, he had been trapped in this small world because of her.

Now that her son had such will and confidence, Mother Zhai was overjoyed.

“Zhai Jing, you don’t have to apologize to me. I will support you no matter what decision you make. Mom’s wish has always been for you to live freely, so you don’t need to apologize to me. Instead, mom should thank you.”

“Thank you for dragging me through so many years. Now, it’s my turn to support you.”
