Chapter 58 - What a blessing from my previous life!
The words were so gentle that it reached my mom's heart. If I wasn't the person involved, I would probably be moved. But right now, I just want to laugh at his face!
"Oh, there are not many young men like you these days! He would cook, and he would feel sorry for others. "How did this child fall off in the first place?"
The gentle smile on her face suddenly became as cold as ice. As someone who could read people's eyes, he knew that there was definitely pain in her gentle heart.
My mother quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, auntie won't ask anymore. That must be all your sorrow. Let's not talk about the past anymore, let bygones be bygones!"
After that, my mom walked up to her and said seriously, "How you live your future well is the most important thing!"
Lin Xiang slowly nodded her head, "Yes, Auntie, we will definitely work hard to live a good future!"
I lay on the bed and looked at the interaction between mother and me. From mother's expression, I could tell that she was really satisfied with how gentle she was.
That's right! He was handsome, dashing, and rich, but now he was so considerate. Looking around, any mother-in-law would be very satisfied with this kind of son-in-law.
Lying on my bed, I couldn't help but smile wryly. How laughable was fate? Why did she have to make fun of me like this?
I may not be a good man or a good woman, but I've never done anything bad, much less kill people as I please. Why would I have to face such a miserable matter? What was wrong with me? I have to change it!
I tiredly closed my eyes. The crying and panicking that morning had already exhausted me greatly. Unknowingly, I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, the first thing I smelled was the fragrant smell of food. Just as I was about to struggle to get up, I felt someone place a hand behind my head and drag me up.
"I can do it myself, thank you!" I looked down at him.
"Lin Xiang, I am sincere, there is no falsehood in my words! You have to believe me! "
Although my words were gentle and sincere, I had already built a tall wall for myself when I lost my child. I had already abandoned him outside my heart.
I want to treat this broken heart of mine well. Perhaps one day, my heart will be willing to believe that there is still innocent love in this world and will be willing to open up. But at least for now, or at least for the time being, I refuse!
Slowly, seeing that I didn't say anything, and didn't urge me on, he changed the topic and said: "Lin Xiang, I made your favorite drink corn on barbecue, you drink more later!"
My mother sat on the sofa and watched my interaction with her. She attributed my indifference and evasiveness to the fact that I was shy or reserved, which she was happy to see.
And I could see that she was becoming more and more satisfied with her slowness.
From time to time, he would smile as he looked upon the gentle city.
"Alright, Xiangxiang, stop throwing a tantrum. I've made a lot of delicious food, hurry up and eat a little more. Eat more, and your body will recover quickly."
I slowly helped him up. I tried my best to shake off his hand, but just as I was about to succeed, he whispered into my ear, "Look, auntie is watching!"
I put out the fire at once.
By the time the three of us were seated at the table, my mother was the first to exclaim, "Oh my God, your cooking skills are just too good. I haven't been able to get your cooking skills for twenty to thirty years as a professional housewife! For us Xiangxiang to find you, it is really a blessing we obtained from our past lives! "
He humbly smiled and said, "Auntie, if you like it, then eat more!"
I didn't know how to sort out the relationship, and I didn't know how to be so gentle. I didn't know how to have the charm of easily taking care of my mother and making her praise him so highly.
Just as I lowered my head and did not speak, she gently took a bite of the dish and placed it on my plate. She said affectionately, "Xiangxiang, don't only drink the soup, eat more food!"
My mom looks at him slowly, almost like how my mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law. The more she looks at him, the more satisfied she is!
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even lift my head up. I could only count the grains in my bowl. But gentle but and my mother eat and chat, a very warm look.
Several times I saw that my mother seemed to want to say something, but I was afraid that she might say something earth-shattering, so I quietly kicked her under the table.
He looked up at my mother and said, "What happened to Auntie?" Is there something wrong with that? "
My mother then awkwardly smiled and said, "No, no!" Delicious, hehe, take it slow. Your cooking skills are really not bad, it's really too delicious! "
He didn't show any courtesy and continued, "Auntie, since you like to eat, I'll come over often to cook for you while you're in Beijing. It just so happens that she is giving Xiangxiang some nourishment. Her body should be properly nourished, it is just a bit too skinny! "
"Yes, yes, take it slow, you must be careful, with you taking care of Xiangxiang, I will be relieved!"
"Auntie, you're being too polite. This is what I should do!" Her gentle smile was like the spring breeze, and my mother was even more satisfied with her smile.
Just like that, a meal, one satisfied, one relaxed, and the other, me, was extremely embarrassed.
In this state, we finished the meal.
After dinner, my mother gently rushed to clean up the dishes, but instead of letting him do his work, she pushed him out and asked him to sit on the edge of my bed and chat with me.
My mother rolled up her sleeves and hurried to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
I lay in bed with my eyes closed, not wanting to look at him, not wanting to talk to him.
When we had completely broken off our relationship, I had already locked him away from my heart. My heart had already died, and no matter what motive he had now, or what idea he had, I did not want to pay attention to it, nor did I want to know.
But it was as if nothing had happened between us, sitting there and chatting with me!
"Xiangxiang, the color of the curtains in this room of yours is too dark. This will affect your mood, and you should change it to a brighter color."
"Xiangxiang, your sofa is a little hard. Do you want me to change it to a softer one?"
"Xiangxiang, you guys downstairs are currently fixing the flower beds on the east side. When you and Auntie go downstairs, try not to walk that way, it's all just new pits."
"Xiangxiang."
I really didn't want to talk to him. He just sat on the edge of my bed and kept talking about things that didn't matter.
I really can't imagine how a man who used to be so domineering, so calm, and self-possessed could suddenly have so many words to say all of a sudden.
Maybe I got up early in the morning and cried for most of the morning, but I was really too weak, and he seemed to whisper in my ear, and the voice was as smooth and soothing as a lullaby, making me fall asleep without knowing it.
When I opened my eyes again, the room was dark, and I guessed it might be late afternoon.
The room was very quiet. It was so quiet that I didn't sit on the edge of my bed anymore. I sat up and shouted, "Mom! "Mom?"
My mother immediately sat up on the sofa and said in a hoarse voice, "Aiya, it's already dark! Xiangxiang, are you hungry? Mommy will bring you some hot food to eat right now! "
I quickly stopped my mother who was about to go to the kitchen. "Mom! "I'm not hungry yet, I'm not in a hurry. I just finished eating at noon. I'm not a pig, how could I eat so much!"
When my mother saw that I said no, she changed her mind and went to the bathroom.
I got up and turned on the TV for Mom, and then I sat down on the couch with her.
When my mother came out of the bathroom and saw me sitting on the sofa watching TV, she pulled me up and pushed me onto the bed. Do you know that you are now a sitting duck! You can't watch TV!
You can't cry, it's not good for your eyes. If you don't pay attention now, when you get old, your eyes will have problems. What will you do then? At that time, even if you regret it, it will be too late! "
