"Mother's Strategy" - 3·3

page views:1 Publication date:2023-05-29 08:13:41

I spent the entire day thinking about catching someone cheating, and I couldn't concentrate on studying at all.
I finally made it home after school and saw my mom sitting on the living room sofa with her arms crossed. I greeted her with a smile, "Mom, you're home! You're home early today."
"I specifically took half a day off today." Mom glanced at me and beckoned me over: "Come here."
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so I cautiously moved closer and peeked at my mother. Seeing that she looked normal, I tentatively asked, "Mom, is something wrong?"
I've prepared a gift for you.
I was taken aback by her words, but seeing my mother's ambiguous smile and the bulging bag in front of her, I knew it wasn't good news. I chuckled awkwardly and said, "It's not a holiday, and it's not my birthday, why are you giving me a gift?"
Sure enough, Mom reached into her bag, took out a stack of test papers, and said to me, "I think you've been a bit too idle and undisciplined lately. So I went to Teacher Song's and got you some test papers." She then pushed the papers in front of me, saying, "Here, do them all."
"I have so many test papers that I can't finish them all. I'll study even if you don't rush me."
"Just do this, and do it right away. Once you're done, I'll take it to Teacher Song to take a look."
"Oh." I picked up the test paper and couldn't help but smile.
The mother questioned, "What are you laughing at? Are you happy to see so many test papers?"
"No..." I denied it at first, then immediately admitted, "It's not that I'm happy to see these papers, it's just that I feel you haven't been very concerned about my studies lately. Today, seeing that you took the day off to get so many papers for me, I'm a little happy."
Mom bit her lower lip and said earnestly, "It's not that I don't care about your studies, but I can't watch you every second. Whether you study or not mainly depends on yourself; it depends on your self-discipline." She glanced at me, then added, "On the contrary, haven't you been a little too concerned about my affairs lately?"
"Shouldn't a son show concern for his mother?"
"It's understandable, but you're being a bit too concerned. Do I need to report to you where I go, what I do, and who I meet? Don't I, as your mother, have any personal freedom at all?"
I frowned deeply: "I'm just scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
I lowered my head and said in a low, aggrieved voice, "I'm afraid you won't pay attention to me."
After a long silence, Mom sighed and said, "If you take good care of yourself, how could I ignore you?"
"Then let me ask you, who is this Young Master Zhou? You won't even tell me."
The mother shook her head helplessly: "Why are you still... that Mr. Zhou is...?"
At this critical moment, Beibei came out of the house, head tilted back, covering her nose, and muttered anxiously, "Nosebleed! Mom, I'm bleeding from my nose."
My mother ignored me and got up to go see Beibei.
I was getting anxious halfway through my sentence. This girl really knows how to pick her timing; why did she have to appear at the most crucial moment? I caught up with her and asked, "Mom, what's this Mr. Zhou?"
The mother held Beibei's little head and said impatiently, "We'll talk about it later. Didn't you see your sister has a nosebleed?"
"A nosebleed won't kill you."
Beibei raised her foot to kick me, but my mother forcibly held her down and shouted sternly, "Stop fooling around! Go get the first-aid kit."
There was nothing I could do, so I had to give up asking for the time being and go back inside to get the first-aid kit. I wondered to myself, is this Mr. Zhou really my mother's boyfriend?
After all that effort, we finally managed to stop Beibei's nosebleed. During dinner, I secretly observed my mother's condition. As usual, after hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't help but ask, "Mom, you haven't finished speaking yet."
"What?" Mom didn't react.
"It's what you were thinking about earlier, Young Master Zhou is... I was only halfway through my sentence. What is Young Master Zhou?"
After a moment of silence, the mother said, "Mr. Zhou is a new friend of mine. He also recently got divorced. We met at a coffee shop, added each other on WeChat, and quickly became good friends."
They just got divorced not long ago? That's a bit dangerous. Their relationship has just broken down, and if they get together, things could easily escalate and they might end up having an affair. Fortunately, according to my mother, they haven't made any real progress yet; they're just good friends who comfort each other.
Well... anyway, I'll go and check it out tonight, just so I'll have a better idea of what to expect.
Having learned my lesson last time, I changed into my workout clothes early after dinner this time. My mom glared at me: "What mischief are you up to now?"
While warming up, I said, "I think Mom is right. We need to balance work and rest. We can't always stay cooped up at home. We need to go out and exercise." Before Mom could say anything, I interrupted, "But don't worry, I'll go down by myself. I won't bother you."
Under my mother's suspicious gaze, I left the house, but instead of going for a walk, I found a secluded spot in the neighborhood and hid. After a while, my mother indeed came out of the building. Unlike usual, she wasn't wearing sportswear today, but a dark blue lace long dress. Her legs were smooth as snow, without stockings, and she wore a pair of delicate black stiletto strappy sandals.
Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Mom had her long hair up, and she was wearing makeup. She looked so beautiful; it seemed she was going on a date.
Because of the high heels she was wearing, her calves, from the hem of her skirt all the way to her toes, appeared slender and shapely, exuding sexiness. She walked with an elegant posture, taking graceful, delicate steps, swaying lightly like a willow. The high heels made a crisp, melodious, and rhythmic tapping sound on the hard pavement, captivating the mind.
I was afraid of arousing my mother's suspicion, so I didn't dare to follow too closely. Fortunately, there were many hiding places along the roadside, and it was dark. I followed her all the way to Zijin Park without being discovered by my mother.
It was peak time for evening exercise, and the park entrance was bustling with people, brightly lit. It seemed that Mr. Zhou hadn't arrived yet. Mom was looking down at her phone, texting, because her outfit was so captivating; standing there, she resembled an elegant, beautiful statue, attracting many passersby to turn and stare.
Besides that, I also noticed another phenomenon: most of the people entering and leaving the park were couples, and they were generally older, but there were also some in their forties. They dressed similarly to their mothers, wearing high heels and long skirts, and were quite sexy.
Is there some kind of event? Perhaps a dance competition?
I waited and waited, but no one showed up. I was furious. What a jerk! He was late for our date and made me wait. How rude of him!
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a middle-aged man with short hair walked towards my mother. He was wearing a white suit shirt, paired with crisp black trousers, shiny leather shoes, and a bow tie.
Wow! This guy's got such slicked-back hair and a really polished look. Could he be that Zhou Gongzi? Surely Mom's taste isn't that bad...
After the man walked in, my mother waved to him, her face beaming with a bright smile, looking very happy. Seeing this, I felt a tightness in my chest, my scalp tingling, and a deep, aching sadness welling up inside me.
My mother and Mr. Zhou chatted for a few minutes at the entrance, then walked side by side into the park. Without thinking, I quickly followed. The park was brightly lit, with music blaring, and a banner hung above it: Amateur Ballroom Dance Competition. It seemed pretty much what I expected.
There were quite a few participants, and most of the spectators were elderly people taking a stroll. This was an amateur competition organized by a non-governmental organization, and it wasn't very formal; they had just strung up a few ropes and cordoned off a dance floor. After the host gave an introduction, the participants entered in batches.
妈妈和老爸年轻时练过国标，还教过我和北北。记得那时我们也组织过家庭比赛，我和妈妈一组，老爸和北北一组，想想还真是欢乐。如今物是人非，妈妈身边的舞伴，竟然换成了陌生男人。
我站在不远处偷偷地看着妈妈和周公子，虽然听不见他们说什么，但好像聊的挺开心的。过了一会儿，妈妈竟然主动将手伸了过去，跟那个周公子牵在了一起。见此情景，我气地浑身发抖，牙根痒痒，真想过去将他们两个从中间分开。不过后果也很好猜，肯定会换来老妈的一巴掌。
过了一会儿，妈妈那组开始上场了，两人手牵着手，走进了舞池。音乐响起，周公子将手从妈妈腋下穿过，扶在她的后背，灯光下，两人掌心相握，双臂自然向前，身子紧紧地贴在一起，跳着激情洋溢的探戈。虽然我气的的咬牙切齿，但两人跳的真的很合拍，很快就成了场中焦点。
妈妈裙角飞扬，身姿摇曳，舞步热情奔放，华丽而高雅，我真是羡慕得要死，如果此时搂着妈妈跳舞的是我，让我少活几年我也愿意。
就在我火大的快要憋不住的时候，妈妈弓步下蹲，向后下腰，周公子上身前倾，两人脸对着脸，几乎快要贴在一起了。见此情景，我再也忍不住了，冲出人群，一个飞踹，踢在了周公子的大腿上。
周公子一声尖叫，松开妈妈，整个人摔出去老远。由于妈妈向后下腰，弧度很大，没了支撑，一下子摔在了地上。
我吓了一跳，连忙去扶妈妈。这一变故来得实在太快，场内一片哗然。妈妈伸手扶腰，咬着牙呻吟了几声，一看是我，愣了一阵，随即怒道：「凌小东，你干什么呢？你疯啦？」
我刚才是脑子一热，冲出来的，面对妈妈质问，我有点不知所措了。最后指着躺在地上的周公子说：「他想非礼你。」
妈妈恶狠狠的瞪了我一眼，一把将我推开，着急忙慌的去扶周公子。我心里委屈极了，跟在她的身后，问道：「妈，您就这么在乎他呀？」
妈妈回头瞪着我，大声娇呵：「你给我闭嘴！」
因为我这一闹，比赛也终止了，几个看起来像是组织方的男人围了过来，恰好听到我们对话，知道是我们自己的事儿，问了几句便又散开了。
我看着妈妈因为别的男人，焦急关切的样子，心里又酸又疼，憋了一肚子的火儿，又没地方发泄，真想扯开嗓子大吼几声。
妈妈扶着周公子站了起来，对我大声说道：「凌小东，你给我过来。」
我知道妈妈是想让我道歉，我故意将脸转向一旁，假装没有听见。
「给我过来！听见没有？」
我见妈妈发这么大火，心里有些怕了，磨磨蹭蹭的走了过去。只见周公子扶着腰，咬着牙，哎呦哎呦的呻吟不止，声音娘里娘气的。我心说活该，你个小白脸娘娘腔，看你以后还敢勾引妈妈不。
妈妈瞪着我，恼怒道：「愣着干什么，跟你周阿姨道歉啊。」
「我不！打死也……」我噘着嘴，刚要将头转向一旁，猛然反应过来，诧异的问道：「周阿姨？女……女的啊？」
「可不是呀！赶紧道歉。」
周公子扶着腰，苦笑着说道：「哎呦呦……小云啊，这是你儿子呀？这一脚踹的我……腿劲儿可真大。」
直到这时，我才听见周公子的声音，她虽然打扮的像个男人，但声音确确实实是个女的。我心说，完了，这下完了。
妈妈扶着周公子，连声道歉：「周姐，对不起，真是对不起。」一边说一边给我使眼色。
我连忙鞠躬道歉：「周阿姨，真是对不起了，我真不知道。我以为您是男的呢。我还以为您想勾引我妈呢。」
「你给我闭嘴！」妈妈低声喝斥。
周公子摆摆手：「算了算了，你儿子也是关心你。」
「那我送你回去吧。」妈妈满含歉意的说道。
「不用不用，我自己回去就成了。」
我连忙献殷勤：「周阿姨，还是我们送你回去吧，您看您这腿……」
妈妈斜瞪了我一眼：「你以为是谁弄得啊？」
我去公园外拦了一辆计程车，跟妈妈一同将周公子送了回去。
返家途中，沿河路上，人烟稀少，灯光幽暗。妈妈走的很快，高跟鞋敲击地面，发出快节奏的『哒哒』声。
我追在妈妈身后，连声道歉，妈妈始终不理我。
「妈，您别生气了，我真不知道。我问您，您也不跟我说明白了，我真以为她是……」
妈妈突然停下脚步，回头瞪着我：「以为她是什么呀？」
「以为她是个男的，以为她想勾引你呢。」
妈妈眉头一皱，气道：「是男的，你就能踹人家了呀？」
「谁让她楼您搂的那么紧的，都快贴到一块儿了。」
「跳舞能不搂着吗？再说了，你什么时候见我跟其他男人跳过舞了？」
「是是是，以前您确实没跟其他男人跳过舞，可那毕竟是以前嘛。以前您跟我爸还没离婚，现在您是单身，难免招蜂引蝶的。」
「你是谁呀？管得这么宽。」
「我是您儿子呀。」我嬉笑着说道：「您最亲爱的宝贝儿子。」
妈妈眉头紧皱，长叹一口气：「你说我怎么生了你这么个气人的东西呦。」
「您生也生了，这都十八年了，您想退也退不回去了。」
「你……」
自从知道周公子是个阿姨之后，我的心情豁然开朗，嘴皮子也利索多了。
「妈，您别生气。我真诚的向您道歉。」我向后倒退一步，深深地鞠了一躬：「对不起，母上大人。」
「你跟我道歉有什么用。你咣叽一脚，把人踹了，说句对不起就完了？」
「那……那要不这样，改天我提着礼物，上门去给周阿姨道歉。」
妈妈瞪着我，不知道该说什么了，许久之后，无奈又恼怒的叹了口气：「真是要被你给气死了。」说完，转身继续往前走。
我追在妈妈身后，嘟囔道：「那您也不能全怪我呀。您一直遮遮掩掩的，也不跟我说明白。」妈妈没有理我，继续疾步前行，我跟在后面，继续说道：「您要早说清楚，周公子是个女的，我何必这么着急呢。」
妈妈突然停了下来，我一个不留神，险些撞在了她的背上。妈妈回头瞪着我：「我交朋友，还要向你汇报呀？是男是女，关你什么事？」
我很想坦白告诉妈妈，你跟男人来往，我心里就是不舒服。但是这话又没办法明说，只能找了个借口：「我得替我爸看着您呀，您要跟人跑了，我爸怎么办呀？」
「我跟你爸的事儿，用得着你管啊？」妈妈斥责一句，忽然反应过来，厉声质问：「对了，我还没问你呢，你怎么知道我在公园里的？你跟踪我？」
「我是……」
我正想着理由呢，妈妈又问：「你偷看我手机？」
「没有没有！」我赶忙否认：「我是刚才散步回来，正好看见你出门，就……就在你后面跟着了。」
妈妈瞪着我，哼的一声：「凌小东，你长本事啦？以后我出门，是不是还要先跟你汇报一下啊？」
「不是，主要是我问您什么，您总是遮遮掩掩的，也不说明。我这不是担心您嘛。咱们都是一家人，去哪儿了，您干什么了，您的朋友是男是女，您大大方方的说出来不就行了。」
「说什么呀，说我新交了个朋友，每天晚上出去，在广场上跟人一起跳……」话说到一半，妈妈忽然停了下来，脸上表情有些尴尬，愣了片刻，哼的一声，转身继续往前走，不再理我。
老妈不好意思了！
我忽然觉着妈妈的行为有些可爱，连忙追了上去，笑着说道：「您在广场上跟人一起跳交际舞，也没什么不好意思的呀。像您这年龄的人，有点社交活动，也是正常的。」
妈妈猛地停下，回头乜着我：「我什么年龄的人呀？」
我这才意识到自己说错话了，连忙改正：「风华正茂，亭亭玉立，花信年华，小家碧玉。」
妈妈啐道：「你天到晚的胡说八道。」
「我的意思是，您没必要藏着掖着的，我们又没笑话您。广场上跳舞的，二十多岁的小姐姐，多得是。您以后可以大大方方的去跳，我举双手赞成。」
「还跳什么呀，你一脚把人给踹了，以后人家还跟跟我跳么。」妈妈看着我，忽然冷笑一声：「看来以后我真得找个男舞伴，身强力壮，你打也打不过的那种。」
我知道妈妈是在跟我开玩笑，但还是慌忙的说道：「别别别，周公子，周阿姨就挺好的，您千万别换舞伴。」
妈妈瞥了我一眼，没好气的说：「好好地一个比赛，让你给搅黄了。」说罢，迈步想要往前走。
我想脑子里突然蹦出一个念头，赶忙拦在她的面前，说道：「我知道您一定没跳痛快，这样吧，我来陪您跳，怎么样？」
「你？」妈妈表情不屑：「你除了会捣乱之外，你还会什么呀？」
我伸出左手，想要去握妈妈的右手，被妈妈用力打开，嫌弃道：「大庭广众，你丢不丢人。」
「这有什么丢人的，再说周围也没什么人。来嘛，来嘛，好久没跟妈妈跳了。」
我不死心，右手去搂妈妈的纤腰，左手硬是握住妈妈的右手，妈妈嫌弃的挣扎了几下，没用挣脱，也就由着我了。
「来，我打节拍。一嗒嗒、二嗒嗒、三嗒嗒……」
我搂着妈妈的腰，开始随着节奏翩翩起舞。由于许久没跳了，时不时的会踩到妈妈的脚，妈妈恼怒的想要将我推开，却被我搂得紧紧的，没法挣开。妈妈只能气恼的说道：「要跳就跳认真点！」
初时还有些生涩，但我越跳越熟练。我们母子二人，在这幽静的河边小路上，昏黄的路灯下，旁若无人的翩翩起舞。
妈妈比我矮一点点，但穿上高跟鞋后，几乎与我持平。我与妈妈面对着面，身子贴的很近，闻着她身上的馥郁体香，隔着衣服感受着妈妈身上的体温，身体一阵躁动。
「妈，还记得以前，你跟老爸教我们跳舞吗？」
沉寂片刻，妈妈轻轻的『嗯』了一声。
「那时候我们过得多开心呀。」
妈妈面无表情的望着我，没有说话。
沉寂良久，我小声说了句：「其实，我现在更开心。」
妈妈闻言眉头微微一蹙，表情有些异样。我望着妈妈的迷人的双眼，秋水盈盈，凌厉而不失妩媚；秀气的鼻尖渗出一丝细汗，红唇饱满滋润，唇珠圆润可爱，我的脑海里浮想起了那天晚上，妈妈喝醉时，我偷偷亲她的画面。我的心中一阵悸动，竟然鬼使神差的贴了上去，将嘴巴轻轻地吻在了妈妈的红唇上。
时间仿佛瞬间凝固了一般，妈妈瞬间睁大了眼睛，满是惊愕，随即慢慢的变成了愤怒。我只觉着又酥又麻，心中狂跳不止，我明知道后果非常严重，但我还是做了。如果能将这一刻变成永恒，那该是多么美妙的事情。
半晌后，妈妈猛地反应过来，用力将我推开，然后抬起手来，对着我的脸上狠狠的抽了一巴掌。我这才醒过神来，惊愕的看着妈妈，只见妈妈脸颊潮红，呼吸急促，表情愤怒至极。我张嘴想要解释，却不知该说些什么。妈妈恶狠狠地瞪了我一眼，转身离去。
我皱起眉头，用力拍了一下自己的脑门，懊悔之余，又有一丝说不清道不明的得意之情。
我在小区里晃晃悠悠，始终不敢上搂，直到凌晨一点，才磨磨蹭蹭的回到了家里。打开大门朝朝屋内瞧了一眼，客厅里黑着灯，看来妈妈已经睡了，这才掂着脚尖，蹑手蹑脚的回到了自己卧室。
我就像是情窦初开的少年一样，既害怕又兴奋，躺在床上翻来覆去，怎么也睡不着。和妈妈的那一吻，始终在我脑海里徘徊不去。虽然以前跟妈妈也有亲昵的举动，但从没像这回一样，如此的心花怒放。那种感觉，是完全不一样的。
我失眠了，一夜未睡。早早地爬起来，去厨房里做早餐，希望能用这样的行动，讨好妈妈。
妈妈起床之后，就想什么事也没发生过一样，虽然对我冷冰冰的，但也没有训我骂我。吃早饭时，我壮着胆子，给妈妈盛了一碗粥，小心翼翼的对妈妈说：「妈，这是我早上起来，特意给您熬的粥，您尝尝。」
「嗯。」妈妈冷漠的点了点头。
我偷偷打量着妈妈，总感觉她有点怪怪的，按说她应该很生气才对的，她现在看起来也只是有些不开心而已。不过黑眼圈倒是挺明显的，应该跟我一样，昨晚也没睡好。嗯，要这么说的话，妈妈也没有表面那么镇定。
……
自那晚之后，我和妈妈之间的关系，又变得微妙了起来。妈妈对我爱答不理，若即若离，却并未提起那天晚上的事情。而我对妈妈的感情，则越来越强烈了。
妈妈在我眼里就是完美的代名词，每次跟妈妈的单独相处，都让人如沐春风，很舒服，很融洽，看不见妈妈，我就会很急躁；有时想到妈妈，又会不由自主的傻笑。我对妈妈的感情，原本被强行压抑在心里，这次算是彻底爆发了出来。我这知道这种感情是不应该存在的，但我就是控制不住自己。
我感觉已经快要控制不住自己了，我对妈妈的占有欲越来越强，几乎到了变态的地步，我只要一想到她和其他男人说笑，我就受不了。
与此同时，我体内的欲火也愈发旺盛，真的很想偷拿妈妈的丝袜，痛痛快快的发泄出来，但理智告诉我，一定不能再这么干了，这样只能让妈妈越来越讨厌我。
就这么浑浑噩噩的过了四天，傍晚我从辅导班里放学出来时，看见妈妈双手抱胸，靠在汽车上，正面无表情地看着我。
今天妈妈穿着白色蕾丝边雪纺衬衣，下身黑色高腰阔腿裤，长发披散，遮住半边容颜，另一侧秀发捋在耳后，露出精致的耳坠，十分的端庄典雅。
我不知道妈妈为什么会出现在这里，但心里却开心的要命，快步跑了过去，笑着说道：「妈，您怎么有空来接我呀？」
「上车。」说一句，妈妈转身坐到驾驶室里。
我跟着坐在副驾驶位上，就像个单相思的小伙子，突然得到了女神的青睐，心情激动不已。
妈妈一句话也没跟我说，发动汽车，掉头反方向行驶。我见这不是回家的路，心中隐隐感觉不妙，忍不住问道：「妈，您又要带我去哪儿呀？」
妈妈握着方向盘，没有看我，随口说了句：「到了就知道了。」
我不由得想起了上次的事情，怀疑妈妈又要带去去看心理医生了，心里有些沮丧。虽然知道可能性不大，但刚刚确实有一瞬间，幻想着妈妈特意来接我出去玩。
真的是……想太多了。
妈妈将车开进一个小区里，下车后，领着我进了一间单元房内，房间不算大，七八十平的样子，但装修的还不错，就是家具有点久。
妈妈进来之后，就像回到自己家里一样，领着我转了一圈，看看卧室，又瞧了瞧卫生间，最后问我：「感觉怎么样？还行吧？」
我不知道妈妈到底是什么意思，但我心里已经隐隐的感觉不妙了，不由得皱着眉头，紧张的问道：「您……这是什么意思啊？」
妈妈看着我说：「这边是我专门给你租的房子，离学校近，走路也就十分钟。你就搬到这里来住吧。」
「妈……」我心里突然间难受的要命，说话的声音都带起了哭腔：「您要赶我出来呀？」
「我这是为了你好。」妈妈走到沙发旁，向我招招手：「来，你过来。」
我机械的走了过去，妈妈拍了拍旁边的位子，示意我坐下，然后沉声对我说道：「小东，你是个聪明的孩子，你知道妈妈为什么要这么做。」
「我……」我瞠目结舌，好半天才哀求道：「我错了，我真的错了！我再也不敢了。您就原谅我这一次吧。」
「这不是原不原谅的问题，妈是为了你好。」
「可是……您……」我结结巴巴的半天说不出一句完整话来，最后问道：「那您也搬来一起住吗？」
「就你一个人。」
我知道让妈妈搬来一起住是不可能的，但还是心存一丝幻想。
「妈，我真的知道错，真的真的。您就再原谅我一次吧，我改，我真的改。」
「你改得了吗？」妈妈望着我，语重心长地说道：「小东，你有什么问题，我知道，你也知道。我之所以一直对你忍让、包容，是因为我觉着这只是暂时的，总有一天你会长大的，你会成熟的。可是我发现我错了，对你越是放纵，就越是在害你。」
"Mom, I really, really, I... please don't abandon me."
Mom became a little agitated: "I didn't abandon you. I just want you to calm down and think things through seriously. You have a long life ahead of you, and you can't keep going down this path."
"I won't get involved! I understand, I understand it all in my heart." I reached out to hold my mother's hand, but she suddenly pulled away.
"Don't touch me!" Mom pointed at me and warned, "Don't touch me again."
I quickly raised my hands and shouted, "I won't touch you, I'll never touch you again!"
My mother looked at me, her eyes brimming with unspoken words. I could feel her love for me, as well as her inner turmoil and helplessness, in her gaze. I felt terrible, my heart aching.
I can't be so meticulous and let my mother live such a painful life.
After a long pause, I suppressed my sadness and whispered, "I know Mom is doing this for my own good, and I accept your arrangement."
After a moment of silence, Mom took out a key, placed it beside me, and said, "I've moved all the books and materials from your bedroom to your room. You can study here in peace. You can come home once every two weeks. Call me if you need anything."
After Mom left, I sat on the sofa in a daze, as if I had lost my soul, and it took me a long, long time to come back to my senses. The beautiful fantasies I had a few days ago were ultimately just wishful thinking on my part. After all, she is my mother, and there is simply no way we can be together.
And so, I settled down here alone, suppressing my inner turmoil and burying myself in my studies. But a sliver of hope remained: if I could get into Tsinghua University, perhaps my mother would accept me.
My mother didn't come to see me, nor did she call or text me. I wanted to call her, but every time I picked up my phone, I hesitated for a long time before finally putting it back down. I had to control my emotions; pestering her would only make her dislike me more.
Before we knew it, it was the end of August, and Lu Yiyi was going to university in the provincial capital. Because of military training, she had to leave early. We arranged a day to go out for half a day as a farewell party for her.
That afternoon, after I washed up and got ready to go out, the doorbell rang. I was delighted, thinking it was my mother coming to see me, but I quickly realized that she had the key and didn't need to ring the doorbell.
I walked to my front door, puzzled, and looked through the peephole. To my surprise, Anuo was standing there, ringing the doorbell repeatedly. I was astonished. How did she find her way here?
I intended to pretend I wasn't home, but the doorbell kept ringing, as if she was going to keep pressing it unless I opened the door. I glanced at the time; I was almost late. After hesitating for a moment, I suddenly opened the door and said to her, "Stop pressing it, or you'll break it!"
Anuo was still making the gesture of raising her hand, looking at me with a grin: "Brother, so you're home."
"Alright, stop pretending. You know perfectly well I'm home."
Anno walked in, clutching the straps of her handbag, and looked around the living room. "So you live here," she said. "Hmm...it doesn't look very nice."
"Hey, let me ask you, how did you know I live here?" I looked at her suspiciously.
"I have my informants."
"Informant? Who?" She didn't say, and after a moment's thought, it dawned on me: "Beibei?"
Anno smiled without saying a word, which was taken as tacit agreement.
I was even more surprised: "Weren't you two at odds? How come you're communicating in private?"
Anuo waved at me with a smile: "Hey~! It wasn't really an exchange, just trying to get information out of me. She tried to get information out of me, and I tried to get information out of her. We saw who could get more information out of her."
I smiled wryly and said, "Needless to say, she's completely fooled by you."
Anuo looked me up and down and asked, "Brother, you're all dressed up so smartly, are you going out?"
"I'm heading out. So, please, go ahead." I gestured for him to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"What I do is none of your business!"
"Hmm... he must be on a date with his sister-in-law."
I glanced at her sideways, not surprised at all, but rather feeling that it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Yes, I'm going on a date. So, please, go ahead."
"Can I come along?"
"What are you going to do?"
"To be a light bulb! A 100-watt one."
