"Alright." It was still the same tame tone.

"So be it! I'm hanging up! " A series of beep beep sounds came from inside the phone. Ou Yujie faintly smiled. After pausing for a while, he finally pressed down on the phone.

He did not go back to his room immediately after he hung up the phone. Instead, he leaned sombrely against the sofa.

Scenes of the past came to mind.

His beautiful mother's teary eyes tightly hugged his warmth. Even her ruthless back caused him to feel some heartache.

Throughout the years, he had deliberately forgotten that such a person existed in this world.

Over the years, he had deliberately made himself as happy and happy as a child in that family.

For many years, he had allowed himself to be like a child from a wealthy family, playing among the women to his heart's content.

This was because he knew how difficult it was for love to be equal.

Neither his mother's fate nor the heavy responsibility on his shoulders would allow him to have his own love.

To him, it was a luxury that he could only look forward to but not seek.

After playing the game for so long, he had almost become a playboy from the beginning to the end.

But tonight, his heart was inexplicably unable to calm down.

At this moment, how much he missed his mother, how much he wanted to tell her that his son had made a mistake, and that he had truly fallen in love with a girl!

Do you want to make a phone call? Listen to her voice?

Did the phone still exist there?

Tears welled up in his eyes. He held the phone tightly in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened the lid and dialed the phone number engraved in his heart for eternity.

"Hello?" A warm, soft voice came from the phone, just like it had been all those years ago.

"It's me." She knew she had not seen him for more than twenty years, and she could not make out his voice.

However, he wanted to stubbornly use this kind of distance-free tone to close the distance between space and time of so many years.

He was about to hang up in despair when he heard a soft voice say, "You, okay?"

Did she recognize him? After all these years, could he still not be forgotten?

The tears that had been wriggling in his eyes finally began to flow down his cheeks and into his mouth. It was bitter and astringent, just like his current mood.

"Alright. "And you?" She tried to keep her voice calm so that she wouldn't hear it.

There was a mutual agreement between the two of them, and they didn't want to break it.

"I'm fine." It was also a very calm tone and a few simple words.

"Are you used to living there?" Finally, he couldn't help but express his son's concern.

"Yes." I'm already used to it. "Don't worry."

"Then, goodbye."

"Alright."

The call ended and Ou Yujie slumped onto the sofa.

She lived in a small town not far from here, only half an hour's drive away, but it made him feel powerless.

He missed her, but did not dare to look at her.

He didn't want to break her peaceful life, and he also didn't want to let down her painful decision from back then because of a moment of weakness.

But was she really well?

Was it really like her father had said, that she was married, that she had given birth to a son and a daughter, and was happily leading a rich and prosperous life?

"What's going on? Is there something on your mind? " Suddenly, a pair of hands gently rested on his shoulders, gently pressing down.
