Congratulations on the arrival of your baby!
That seemingly casual remark struck me like a thunderbolt, leaving my mind reeling. Looking at my mother, she was clearly caught off guard; her face was deathly pale, and her lips were twitching uncontrollably.
Dad looked blank and asked, "What do you mean? Are you pregnant?"
Afraid she would continue, I slammed my hand on the table and yelled, "Annuo! Stop talking!"
My dad turned to look at me, and asked suspiciously, "You're not allowed to say anything?"
I turned to look at my mom and saw her eyes wide open, glaring at me, her chest heaving. I realized I'd said the wrong thing and quickly explained, "I...I...I was afraid she'd talk nonsense. She's always spouting lies; she never tells the truth."
Dad glared at me: "How can you talk about your sister like that?" Then he turned to Anuo and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Anuo asked innocently, "Isn't Aunt Yun pregnant? Then you two have a baby again, right? That's why I congratulated you."
"Pregnant? Your aunt is pregnant?" Dad turned to Mom, asking blankly, "You're pregnant?"
The mother closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly. After a long while, she cleared her throat and feigned a look of bewilderment, saying, "I'm pregnant? How come I didn't know?"
Dad was completely baffled. Mom countered, "Who told you I'm pregnant?"
Anno blinked her big eyes and said innocently, "I guessed."
"A guess?"
"Yes, my aunt was feeling nauseous a while ago. Then I saw a white plastic stick fall out of her pocket, so I curiously looked it up online and found out it was a pregnancy test."
"A pregnancy test?" Dad asked in surprise.
"Yes, my brother saw it too."
My dad turned and glared at me. I quickly waved my hand and said, "I didn't see anything. Don't listen to her nonsense."
Dad turned to Mom and demanded, "Why did you buy a pregnancy test?"
The mother took a deep breath and said calmly, "Why would I buy a pregnancy test? She must have misread it."
"Does it exist or not?"
The mother seemed a little impatient, frowning as she said, "We haven't done that for so long... what kind of pregnancy am I talking about?"
Dad opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Finally, he turned to look at Anuo, seemingly questioning her. Anuo blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent, and said, "Then maybe... I really must have seen wrong. Oh well! What a disappointment! I thought I was going to be a big sister."
She did it on purpose, she absolutely did it on purpose! Lu Yiyi was right, she never had good intentions from the beginning! I really hate myself for letting a wolf into the house and helping her into my home.
Dad froze for a moment, then sat back down, forcing a smile: "Yeah, what a waste of time. Let's eat."
That being said, Mom's reaction was a bit unusual, even I could tell, and Dad must have already become suspicious.
Beibei looked completely bewildered, as if she had no idea what was going on. She looked left and right, and finally asked her mother in a silly manner, "Are you really pregnant?"
I reached out and slapped her on the back of the head. Beibei covered her head, looking at me with resentment: "Why did you hit me?"
"Eat your food! Talk less."
Beibei turned her face away in a huff.
A silence fell over the private room, with only Anuo and her mother picking up food. I secretly glanced at my mother sitting beside me. She appeared calm, but her left hand, resting on her knee, was clenched into a fist and trembling slightly.
I hesitated for a long time before mustering the courage to reach out and hold her hand, wanting to offer her some comfort, but my mother forcefully pulled it away.
Soon, Mom regained her composure, raised her glass, and said with a smile, "It was all a misunderstanding, you were all disappointed. Let's wish your father a happy birthday anyway."
We all raised our glasses to wish Dad a happy birthday. Dad smiled and returned the toast, but the smile on his face was quite different from before.
My dad's birthday party ended in this awkward atmosphere, and he barely ate any birthday cake.
When I got home, my dad pretended nothing had happened and sat on the sofa watching TV as usual, while my mom urged me to go back to my room to study. Everything seemed the same as before, but it gave me a very subtle feeling.
After Mom went back to her bedroom, I took the opportunity to sneak into Beibei's room. I saw Anuo sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at her phone. I grabbed her and pulled her up, glaring at her fiercely, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want?"
Anuo tilted her head, looking like she didn't understand what I was saying, and asked, "What do I want to do? Can I play on my phone for a while?"
I growled in a low voice, "Stop playing dumb with me! What did you mean by what you said at dinner?"
"What did I say?" Anuo pretended to be confused, then suddenly looked enlightened: "Oh! You mean I congratulated Dad and Aunt Yun? I misunderstood, I thought Aunt Yun was pregnant again, that's why I congratulated them."
She was clearly acting, but I was so angry that I didn't know how to refute her. Seeing my flustered expression, she smiled and asked, "I already said it was just a guess. If I guessed wrong, then I'll be disappointed too, not being able to be your older sister."
"You're so disappointed!" I blurted out in a fit of anger, "What the hell are you doing? Why did you have to guess that my mom is pregnant?"
Anno casually remarked, "Just guessing for fun."
"you……"
Just as I was about to lose my temper, there was a knock on the door. I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and turned to open the door. I thought it was my dad knocking, but it turned out to be my mom standing outside.
"Why aren't you in your room studying? What are you doing shouting and yelling in here?" Mom scolded with a displeased look.
"Nothing much, just wanted to chat for a bit."
"Go back to your room and read a book."
I walked past her with my head down and went back to my room.
Beibei is staying at home for the night, so she took over my room again. She's lying on the bed, looking down at her phone, her two smooth, white little feet sticking out in the air, swinging back and forth, looking very relaxed.
I sat down at my desk, my mind a jumbled mess, and I couldn't concentrate on studying. Suddenly, Beibei turned to me and asked, "Why did Anuo say Mom is pregnant?"
"How should I know? She's just guessing randomly."
"I think she did it on purpose."
I was taken aback by her words. Of course, I knew that brat was doing it on purpose, but I was quite curious about Beibei's thoughts, so I asked, "How did she do it on purpose?"
Beibei pouted and snorted, "I think she just wants to ruin our parents' relationship."
"How did she sabotage it?"
"I don't know either, but that's just how I feel, and it achieved the desired effect. Look at Dad's reaction, his jaw almost dropped. Dad's always been a bit petty, remember that time someone sent us photos? Wasn't that someone deliberately trying to make Dad misunderstand?" At this point, Beibei paused, then suddenly realized, "Those photos...could they have been sent by Anuo?"
Then I remembered that she didn't know the follow-up to the photo incident, but I didn't have the mind to explain it to her now. I waved my hand and said, "How could that be! Alright, alright, little one, go to sleep. Stop worrying all the time."
"Aren't you a child too? Why aren't you asleep?"
I sighed and said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep. You can study for me and take the college entrance exam for me."
Bei Bei chuckled and said, "No need."
我坐在书桌前开始低头做起卷子来，脑子里始终想着生日派对上发生的事情。北北说的没错，那死丫头这么做，肯定没安好心，多半是想要破坏老爸和妈妈的关系。
妈妈前段时间有疑似孕吐反应，又掉出了好像验孕棒的东西，这两条线索连起来看，就能让人产生合理的联想了。连我都看出不对劲儿来了，她精的跟猴儿似的，肯定早就发现了，只不过一直藏在心里，待到今天这个机会，当着全家人的面，爆了出来。
不对！就算妈妈真的怀孕了，她又是怎么知道，孩子不是老爸的呢？
我低头沉思片刻，忽然想明白了，如果是夫妻之间的正常怀孕，肯定早就在家庭会议上公布出来了。而老爸从头到尾都是一副不知情的样子，再加上妈妈遮遮掩掩的行为，很容易让人产生无端的联想。所以她只要将妈妈怀孕的事情在大家面前公布出来，不管是真是假，都会让老爸产生怀疑的。
或许，那死丫头以为妈妈有了外遇，还是和别的男人有了孩子；也或许，真如北北所说，那些照片真的是那死丫头拍的？再不然……是我那天早上做春梦的时候，说漏了嘴，让她得知了我和妈妈的事情？
这个念头一起，吓得我汗毛倒立。出了一身的冷汗。如果真如所想，这件事要是被安诺知道了，那我就真的害死妈妈了。
我既害怕又懊悔，拼命的用手敲打自己头。北北纳闷的问道：「你干什么呢？疯啦？」
我没理她，起身出门，想要找安诺聊一聊，探探口风。刚要推开她的房门时，突然想到，这鬼丫头精的很，别没套出她的话来，再把我的话给她套出来了。
而且，仔细想想，就算我真的在梦里喊出了妈妈的名字，她最多也只是以为我恋母而已，不可能知道我和妈妈那晚发生的事情的。别没事儿找事儿找她谈话，反倒被她瞧出什么端倪来，那可真是弄巧成拙了。
犹豫了一下，决定还是暂时静观其变吧。妈妈都没急，我现在就跟不能急了，别忙没帮上，反倒添了乱。
我又想去找妈妈谈一谈，可一看时间太晚了，而且这事儿现在也没挑明，谈都没法谈。
老爸看起来面色如常，坐在客厅沙发上看了会儿电视，洗漱一番，回屋睡觉去了。夜里我躺在沙发上，左思右想，怎么也睡不着觉。竖着耳朵，仔细地听着那屋的动静，想听听老爸和妈妈有没有吵架。好在一晚上都安安静静的，直到天亮时分，我才迷糊了会儿，然后就去上学了。
前几天我一门心思的想考清华，现在脑子里全是昨天晚上的事情，生怕老爸和妈妈闹矛盾，根本学不进去了。
晚上放学回家，我站在玄关处，先听了一下家里的动静。挺安静的，这才换鞋走了进去。老爸还没回来，北北回学校了，安诺在自己房间里，妈妈在厨房做饭。
我放下书包，犹豫片刻，走进了厨房。妈妈正在切菜，我走到她的身旁，小声问道：「妈，要我帮忙吗？」
妈妈扭头瞧了我一眼，冷冷地说了句：「用不着你帮忙，回屋看书去吧。」
我见妈妈的情绪也没太大的变化，刚准备转身离开，却被妈妈给叫住了。我疑惑的停了下来，妈妈放下手里的菜刀，扭头看着我，问道：「你都跟安诺说什么了？」
「什么也没说呀。」
「那安诺为什么说我怀孕了？」
面对妈妈的逼视，我挠了挠头，皱眉说道：「她瞎说的吧。她怎么可能知道您怀孕了。不是不是！我的意思是，就算您真的怀孕了，她也没有确切的证据呀，只能是瞎猜的。」
眼见妈妈眉头紧蹙，一双丹凤眼渐渐地眯了起来，周身散发着寒意，我感觉自己越描越黑了，连忙闭嘴。
沉寂片刻之后，妈妈忽然问道：「那天晚上的事儿，你没跟其他人说过吧？」
「那天晚上？」我傻乎乎的问了句，随即反应过来，连忙改口：「没没没，我怎么可能跟其他人说呢。」
妈妈盯着我，沉默半晌之后，咬紧牙关，沉声说道：「如果要是让其他人知道了，咱们俩都不用活了。我干脆抱着你跳楼算了。」说说罢，将手里的菜刀狠狠剁在了案板上，吓得我猛打一个机灵。
妈妈的声音简直冷到了极点，犹如彻骨寒冰。我连忙摆手说道：「不会不会，绝对不会。」
被妈妈警告两句之后，赶出了厨房。也不知怎么的，我突然有种感觉，好像跟妈妈成了一条船上的人了，共同保有着一个事关重大秘密，心里竟然感觉有点美美的。
但随即又想到了安诺，如果我和妈妈的事情被她知道了，后果真的不堪设想。如果她用这件事情伤害妈妈，那我只能抱着她一起跳楼了。
爸爸晚上有应酬，只有我们三个一起吃晚饭。只是经过了昨天的事情之后，再在一张桌子上吃饭，就变得异常尴尬了。三人相对无言，默默吃饭，房间里只有电视机传出的声音。
我不时的偷偷打量着安诺，这死丫头面色如常，好像什么事儿都没发生过一样。但我心里清楚得很，她已经原形毕露了，她并非想要融入家庭之中，而是想要毁了这个家。
最关键的是，她手里还握着一枚定时炸弹，随时可能引爆，我必须要尽快想办法将这颗雷排掉才行。
老爸到了晚上十一点才回来，喝的醉醺醺的。我跟妈妈一起将他扶进卧室里，老爸嘴里嘟嘟囔囔的，一直强调自己没醉，结果一头栽倒在了床上。
妈妈没有抱怨，弯腰准备帮老爸脱鞋，老爸猛地坐了起来，一把抓住妈妈胳膊，眼睛直勾勾地盯着她，脸红的跟猴屁股似，半天也没说话。
妈妈忍不住问道：「怎么了？难受？想吐？」
「你……外面有人了。」说完，老爸打了个酒嗝。
「我外面有什么人呀。」妈妈一边说着，一边想将老爸按回床上，可老爸就是死撑着，嘴里还胡乱说着：「你……外面……外面没人，你为什么……为……为什么不让我……碰你。」
妈妈回头瞪了我一眼，厉声道：「没你事儿了，回屋看书去吧。」
我『嗯』了一声，转身往外走，随手关门时，听见老爸嘶吼道：「你是不是怀孕了？」
「我没怀孕！」妈妈用力将他按在床上。
关上门后，还能听到老爸含糊不清的叫喊声。我本打算进安诺的房间跟她谈谈，但犹豫了片刻之后，还是放弃了，我现在是真的有些烦她，一句话都不想跟她说。
次日清晨，老爸酒醒之后，如往常一样，坐在桌边，一边吃着早餐，一边看着手机，面塑如常，好像将昨晚的事情全都忘记了似的。妈妈的脸色倒是有些憔悴，看来昨晚睡得应该不是特别好。
吃饭时也没什么交流，到点了之后上班的上班，上学的上学，连句再见也没说，完全没有了往日的和谐。
接下来的几天，老爸天天夜归，喝的酩酊大醉，每次回来又吵又闹。妈妈是又哄又劝，没有半句怨言。
老爸心眼小，他明明知道妈妈不会出轨，不会背叛他，可总是忍不住往那方面想。这回他心里的疙瘩，一时半会儿恐怕是解不开了。
我想要帮妈妈解释，可又不知道该如何是好，而且妈妈数次警告过我，不要插手这件事。
周四下午放学，我刚刚打开家门，就听见屋里传来老爸的咆哮声。
「你说吧，前段时间你到底上哪儿去了？」
妈妈语气如常的回道：「我已经说过很多遍了，出差去了。」
「你胡扯！我再问你一遍，你到底上哪儿去了？」
「我已经说过很多遍了，我出差去了。不相信的话，你可以问我的同事。手机给你，小周，小王，你随便打。」
「我不用问！你跟你们一伙儿同事合起伙来骗我，你以为我不知道？不过你把你们公司保安给忘了，人家保安说你请了一个星期的假，你压根就没上班！」
「保安知道什么呀。」妈妈的声音有些急了。
「你以为保安不知道？你们楼里的事儿人家门儿清！」
妈妈没有说话，我换上鞋，悄悄的走了过去，顺着门缝往里瞧，只见老爸气势汹汹的走来走去，妈妈坐在床边，一脸愁容。
「说吧！你到底去哪儿了？」老爸忽然停了下来，厉声质问道。
妈妈低着头，沉吟片刻之后，不耐烦的说了句：「我心情不好，出国旅游去了。」
「刚从国外旅游回来，你又去出国旅游？你这么闲啊！」老爸恼怒的问道：「你跟谁一起去的？」
「我自己。」
「你自己？你骗谁呢？你把人都当傻子了，是吧？」老爸咬着牙问道：「你是不是怀孕了？」
「没有。」
「那几天你是不是去医院打胎了？」
「没有！」
「那行，你敢不敢跟我到医院检查去？」
妈妈张了张嘴，没有说出话来，最后将脸转到了一旁。老爸哼的一声，苦涩的笑道：「不敢了吧？」
妈妈用手揉了揉太阳穴，站起身来往外走，被老爸给拦了下来。
「说吧，这孩子是谁的？」
「没有孩子！」妈妈朝老爸喊道。
「孩子被你打了，当然没有了！」老爸额头青筋蹦起，朝着妈妈大声怒吼。
「你神经病！」妈妈硬要往外走，却被老爸一把拽住胳膊，用力甩了几下，没有甩脱，扭头说道：「你放手，我有事要出去。」
「你敢不敢跟我去医院检查？」老爸手指房门方向，却意外的发现我站在门外向内观瞧，生气的吼道：「看什么呢？回你屋去！」说完，快步走来，用力将门关上。
站在门外，挺着屋内父母的争吵，我心里很不是滋味，想要进去劝解，又想起妈妈的忠告，最终还是放弃了。转身打算回卧室，见安诺房间门开着，朝内望去，只见她坐在床边，低头玩着手机，神情悠闲自得，嘴里还哼着欢快的旋律。
我心里的气不打一处来，冷冷的说道：「你很得意？」
「什么？」安诺猛地抬头，一脸疑惑的问道：「得意什么？」
「我爸我妈在那屋吵架，你一点也不得意？」
「我干嘛要得意？」说着，朝我笑了起来，她竟然都懒得掩饰了。
我气的真想过去给她一耳光，但还是忍住了，『咣』的一声，将门用力关上。
老爸和妈妈吵的很激烈，在我的房间都能听的到。晚饭也没有人做，不过除了安诺之外，大家肚子里都憋着一股气，也没心思吃晚饭了。
过了一会儿，传来重重的摔门声，我以为是妈妈离开了家，出去一瞧，发现走的竟然是老爸。
妈妈坐在床边，胸口剧烈起伏，因为激动，脖颈和脸颊都有些红。我轻手轻脚的走了过去，小声问道：「妈，您没事儿吧？」
妈妈抬头瞧了我一眼，冷漠的说了声『没事』，然后起身向外走。我以为她也要走，本能的问道：「妈，您去哪儿？」
妈妈回过头来，不耐烦的说了句：「给你们做饭。」
晚上差不多快到十二点时，我坐在书桌前作着卷子，脑子里却在想着该如何对付安诺。这死丫头已经原形毕露了，绝对不会就此收手的，我必须在她再次伤害妈妈前，想办法阻止她。可她手里握着我『强奸』她的视频，虽然这东西到底有没有，还是个未知数，但如果真的存在，那她要在合适的时机公布出来，那我跳进黄河也洗不清了。
我不由得感到一阵惭愧，想我从小就自我感觉聪明伶俐，怎么面对一个小丫头片子，竟然一点辙也没有了。
就在我苦思冥想之是，客厅里传来了噪杂声，听动静应该是老爸回来了。我犹豫了一下，还是扔下手里的笔，走出了房间。
老爸又喝的醉醺醺的，妈妈扶着他，摇摇晃晃的往卧室走，我赶忙上前帮忙，却被老爸一把推开。他指着妈妈，嘴里含糊不清的问道：「你……说！孩子到底是谁的？是陈总的，还是……你那个李总的？」
「你胡说八道什么呀！」妈妈眉头一皱，恼怒道。
我赶紧上前搀扶，劝道：「爸，您渴不渴？我给您倒杯水吧？」
「你起开！」老爸再度将我推开，然后指着妈妈说：「那……总不能……是我的……孩子吧？」
「什么孩子？没有孩子！你别胡说八道了！」妈妈过去扶他，又被他给推了开来。
「我……告诉你！你……你别把我当傻子。我三个月没碰过你了，你突然有了孩子，孩……孩子是我的？」
妈妈的脸上写满了委屈与愤恨，紧咬着牙关，胸口剧烈起伏，盯着老爸，没有说话。我实在是心疼妈妈，走上前去，刚要说话，却听妈妈一声怒吼：「你闭嘴！这没你的事儿，回屋去。」
我知道妈妈是怕我一不小心说溜了嘴，把那天晚上的事情给说了出来。我张了张嘴，退到了一旁。
老爸大声斥道：「你喊什么喊！孩子惹你了吗？」身体摇摇晃晃，指着妈妈问：「你……你……敢不敢发誓？你没怀孕！」
妈妈双手抱胸，眼睛通红，鼻息沉重，几番张口，却都欲言又止，最后将头转向了一旁。
「没话说了吧。」老爸发出一阵凄楚的笑声，身子东倒西歪，一屁股坐在了地上，忽然间呜呜的哭了起来，那样子也是十分的可怜。我感到一阵阵揪心似的疼，心中愈发懊悔不已。
我和妈妈过去搀扶老爸，这次他没有拒绝，被我们扶到床上之后，忽然抓住妈妈的手腕，哭着说道：「小云，你说……到底是怎么回事？你说清楚了……你说清楚，我相信你。你是不是……被人欺负了？你……不是自愿的。」
妈妈的眼睛里满是泪水，却强忍着不让它流下来，深吸几口鼻息，将脸转到了一旁，不敢再看老爸。
「你说啊！」老爸突然咆哮道。
妈妈哽咽的说了句：「你别问了。」
老爸两眼血红，满脸泪水，声嘶力竭的大吼一声：「你给我滚！」同时双手乱挥，用力拍打着妈妈。
我知道妈妈的心里是何等的委屈，这不是她的错，可却又无法吐露实言。妈妈扶着额头，沉寂片刻，拿起衣服转身朝门外走去。我赶忙追上前，问道：「妈，您去哪儿啊？」
妈妈弯腰换鞋，看也没看我一眼，沉声说了句：「照顾你爸。」然后便逃也似的离开了家。我想要追上去，陪在妈妈身边，可我心里明白，有我在，只能让妈妈更加的痛苦。
回到卧室里，看着爸爸东倒西歪的躺在床上，心中一阵酸楚。老爸做了半辈子的老好人，却因为自己儿子的一时贪念，搞得夫妻破裂，狼狈不堪，甚至连原因都无法知晓。
可又转念一琢磨，十几年前，不也是老爸一时没有忍住出了轨，生下来安诺，这才有了一些系列的事情。想来还真的是因果循环呀。
我守在老爸身边，陪了他一夜。次日清晨，老爸再次醒来时，又变回了那个沉稳古板的中年男人。他应该记得昨晚发生了什么，但并没有出去寻找妈妈，甚至连问都没问一句。
到了学校，我问陆依依，昨晚妈妈是否去她家了，陆依依说没有。整整一天，我都在想着妈妈的去向，压根没心思学习。晚上回到家，厨房里空无一人，没有一点烟火气，打妈妈的手机，她又不接。平日里自诩聪明过人的我，面对如此困境时，也只剩下唉声叹气了。
就这么浑浑噩噩的过了一个星期，当我垂头丧气的回到小区门口时，见到安诺正在门口溜达。自从那日之后，我就没有再跟她说过话，她的腿基本上已经没什么大碍了，却依旧住在家里不肯走。
我冷着脸，从安诺身边经过。安诺忽然追了上来，笑着说道：「你最好现在别回家。」
我回头瞪了她一眼，想问为什么，却又不想理她。安诺倒也没有卖关子，笑着说道：「你妈回来了，正在跟咱爸谈判呢。」
「谈判？谈什么？」我忍不住开口问道。
安诺笑嘻嘻的说：「那我就不知道了。可能是分家啊，离婚啊，之类的吧。」
我没等她说完，便飞奔回家。只见老爸和妈妈坐在客厅沙发上，分坐两头，脸上表情阴冷，谁也不看谁，面前茶几上摆着一张表格。
「妈，您回来了。」长时间没有见到妈妈，我的心情又是激动，又是担心。
妈妈瞧了我一眼，没有吭声。我还想询问她最近的状况，老爸瞪我一眼让我回自己屋去。没办法，我只能回到了自己的房间，却将门打开一条缝，竖起耳朵，偷偷地听着外面的动静。
客厅里死一般的寂静。
半晌过后，老爸突然说道：「还是离了吧。」
良久，妈妈回道：「我没有对不起你。」
「那你实话实说，到底怎么回事？那孩子是谁的？」
「我没办法告诉你。但我保证，我绝对没做对不起你的事。」
"If you're not telling the truth, how can I believe you?"
Mom didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Dad spoke again, coldly saying, "Either tell the truth and tell me who the father is, or get a divorce."
Mom kept talking.
Dad got impatient: "What's wrong with you? You've kept something this big from me, don't you trust me at all?"
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter..."
"Alright, stop talking." Dad interrupted Mom, saying coldly, "Since you're unwilling to tell me, then let's get a divorce."
"husband……"
"Don't call me husband!"
Mom took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said slowly, "Let's both calm down and not talk about divorce yet."
"Suit yourself." Dad got up and went into the bedroom, slamming the door shut with a bang.
The room fell silent again. After hesitating for a moment, I tiptoed out and saw my mother sitting on the edge of the sofa, her chin resting on her hand, her face indifferent.
I whispered, "Mom."
My mother glanced at me but ignored me. After a moment of awkward silence, I said apologetically, "Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Mom sighed, turned her head, and asked, "How's your studies lately?"
"It's...it's alright." I looked at my mother for a moment, then changed my words, "Not really. My mind is always wandering to random things, and I can't concentrate."
After a long silence, Mom said calmly, "The college entrance exam is the most important exam of your life, and also the first turning point. You are very smart, Mom knows that, but others don't. You have to prove it to them; the college entrance exam is your chance to prove it to others."
"Mm." I nodded.
In the past, I was very impatient when my mother talked about these profound principles, but only today did I realize that my mother really meant well for me.
"Things have come to this, so don't worry about things at home anymore. Just focus all your energy on the college entrance exam." My mother stood up and said to me earnestly, "Making mistakes isn't terrible; what's terrible is not correcting them and making the same mistake again and again. Son, your life has just begun, so keep going."
My mother patted me gently on the shoulder and stepped out of the house.
My eyes welled up with tears. I don't know how to describe my feelings right now. I hurt my mother so deeply, yet she's still thinking about my future. Mom is right, it's a good thing to correct mistakes. I don't have time to worry anymore.
I don't know where my mom went, and even if I asked, she probably wouldn't tell me. But her words gave me a lot of encouragement and pulled me back into the sprint of my senior year.
Three nights later, as I was engrossed in my studies, I received a text message from my mother, asking me to pick her up at the Tangchao Hotel in an hour.
This must be another of Mom's clever tricks to escape. I tidied myself up and took a taxi to my destination. After waiting for a while, I saw Mom and her colleagues come out of the restaurant.
The mother wore a gray fitted blazer with a pencil skirt, and sheer black pantyhose that hugged her long, shapely legs. On her feet were a pair of black patent leather pointed-toe high heels, exuding the intellect and sexiness of a mature woman.
She had drunk a bit too much, and in those high heels, she was walking unsteadily, looking like she was about to collapse. I quickly went over to her, but before I even got close, my mother lost her footing and almost fell. The man next to her reached out to help her; it was her boss, that Mr. Li.
Mom glanced at him, reached out and pushed him away, but her body swayed and she almost fell. I quickly quickened my pace, ran forward, and caught her.
When Mom turned around and saw it was me, she was relieved and said to her colleagues, "My son has come to pick me up, so I won't go singing with you."
The crowd began to jeer and protest, but Mom just smiled slightly, waved to them, leaned on me, and left on her own. Mom had drunk quite a bit and was a little dizzy, but not drunk; she was perfectly conscious.
I helped my mother and hailed a taxi on the street. Following the address she had given me, we arrived at a residential complex. This must be where my mother was staying temporarily. The house was very large, over 120 square meters, and luxuriously decorated.
Mom tossed her bag onto the coffee table, then slumped onto the sofa. I looked around the room and asked, "Mom, whose house is this?"
"Rented."
"Why are you renting such a big house by yourself?" I asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'd like to."
Okay, I don't know what to say either. I glanced back at my mother and saw her kick off her black high heels haphazardly, her two beautiful legs in black stockings curled up like a cat, comfortably reclining on the sofa.
I suddenly remembered that people who drink alcohol are prone to thirst, so I quickly poured my mother a cup of hot water and respectfully placed it in front of her.
Mom blew out a breath, took a sip, and said to me, "Okay, you can go back now."
"Aren't you scared living alone in such a big house at night?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Ghosts, thieves, and things like that."
My mother was reclining on the sofa, holding a water glass in both hands. She glanced at me and said, "Just say what you want to say."
I chuckled foolishly and said, "How about... I move over here to give you some courage?"
Mom rolled her eyes at me and snorted, "You're scarier than a ghost." Perhaps feeling that this was a bit too ambiguous, like playful banter between young lovers, Mom straightened her face, cleared her throat, and said, "Go back now."
"Alright, then your workhorse son will be off now." I lingered a few steps towards the front door, then turned back and asked, "Mom, can I come back?"
The mother said coldly, "What are you doing here if you have nothing to do? Stay home and study."
"What if I need to contact you?"
"Call me if you need anything."
"oh."
I rolled my eyes, backed up to the front door, opened it, and waved to my mother, "Mom, I'm leaving now. See you another day."
