Chapter 3

The little guy ate slowly. Every time Fu Xin ‘accidentally’ turned to look at him, he would take a few bites. Fu Xin pretended not to notice. But when he wasn’t paying attention, she turned back to look at him.

Jiang Xinyuan did not expect her to launch a surprise attack. He was shocked and choked on his food.

Fu Xin smacked her lips. What a cute little brat. Even his coughs were cute. Then, she thought of how he hadn’t made a fuss since just now and didn’t need anyone to feed him. He was very elegant. He was simply an angel-like baby!

Fu Xin liked such obedient and smart kids. Her motherly love instantly overflowed. She raised her hand and patted him gently to calm him down. Her voice was as gentle as possible. “Eat slowly.”

Jiang Xinyuan froze and lowered his head. “I’m sorry…”

Fu Xin looked puzzled. “Why are you apologizing? Moreover, I was the one who frightened you. Even if someone needs to apologize, it should be me.” From her angle, she could clearly see the fine hair on his face. His small face that was full of collagen looked very bouncy. She had always thought that she didn’t like children, but it seemed that it was just because she hadn’t met a sweetheart.

Her current identity was the little darling’s mother! Wouldn’t she be able to pinch his little face? At the thought of this, Fu Xin’s hands started to move.

At this moment, Jiang Xinyuan quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

Fu Xin took a look and saw that the little guy’s eyes were wet. She instantly regretted her actions. “Oh look, you coughed until you’re crying! I’m sorry.”

However, the little darling whispered, “It’s okay.” He tried hard to hide the sobbing in his voice because his heart was beating so fast that he could not tell if this was a dream or reality. He was really afraid that this was a dream. He did not know how to understand what had happened before because he seemed to have lived until he was ten years old before dying. When he opened his eyes again, he was five years old again.

He remembered many people who knew his mother saying that she used to be a very lively, gentle, sunny, and happy person, but after giving birth to him, everything changed. She suffered from severe postpartum depression.

Jiang Xinyuan had always felt that it was all because of him that his mother had become like that. If his mother had not given birth to him, she would not have been depressed, she would not have fallen out with his father, and she would not have lost all her friends. Therefore, after knowing that his mother had died in a car accident, he committed suicide and returned his life to her.

But after he died, he did not completely lose consciousness. He saw his father hugging his corpse and asking him to forgive his mother. His mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to him, and her soul was replaced by a bad woman. His father told him that he had never seen his mother at all, and the one who died was that bad person…

After that, a voice told him that he had done many good deeds in his previous life and had a lifetime of merit. He could be reincarnated into a better family. However, he rejected it. His only wish was for his mother to come back. It did not matter if he was born or not. It did not matter if he died. However, he never expected that when he opened his eyes again, he would return to when he was five years old.

He thought he’d gone back in time and his mother had returned. So, he raced into her room, so excited that he knocked over her things.

It turned out his mother hadn’t changed. She still didn’t like seeing him and wished him dead! He lowered his head and returned to his room. He couldn’t tell reality from dreams at all. He was even thinking that he should listen to his mother and die. Perhaps it would be better if she didn’t see anyone she hated?

But while he was hesitating, he heard his mother knock on the door and ask him to go out for his meal. This had never happened before.

When he went downstairs, his mother even told him to watch his step! When his mother ate, she looked different. In the past, she did not eat meat and only ate some of the vegetables. Moreover, his mother had become attentive to him. When he coughed, she patted his back to calm him down and even apologized to him seriously…

This was simply a beautiful dream that he could not believe. He was afraid that if he woke up and everything disappeared, he would really die. All kinds of worries filled him, and he could not help but cry. He had never been like this before. He was very strong and would not usually cry, but the first time he saw his mother in his dream, he actually cried. He was shy and ashamed.

Fortunately, his mother did not know that he was crying and only thought that he was choking. However, his mother apologized again. Would she stop teasing him in the future? But he really wanted to be close to his mother…

Jiang Xinyuan was quick-witted. “I didn’t choke! It’s the chilies. They’re too spicy.”
