Chapter 394: Perseverance and Waiting
Um?
After waiting for a while, the boy who didn't hear any movement blinked blankly.
He pursed his lips.
The erratic heartbeat disturbed his ears.
He was a little irritable.
He took a deep breath.
…
ah……
Only then did the boy discover...
The room is dark.
That is to say...
Mom hasn't come back at all.
…
The boy's heart suddenly felt like "surviving a disaster" with joy.
Very good.
Mom hasn't come back yet!
The boy's mouth widened.
So, what was he so nervous about before?
…
He seems very lucky today?
The boy thought happily as he turned on the light in the room.
I just thought about saying goodbye to the gray-haired girl in a hurry just now in order to rush home in a hurry...
The boy felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The gray-haired girl won't be angry, right?
…
The boy was in tangled troubles.
Time passes unconsciously.
He was awakened by his stomach growling.
He held his stomach.
So hungry.
He glanced casually at the clock on the table.
Next second-
He was stunned.
It's almost eight o'clock...
…
It's already so late...
The boy was surprised.
And mom... hasn't come back yet.
…
The boy felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He walked to the living room.
Soon, the dim living room was illuminated by lights.
But it became more and more deserted.
The boy walked to the window.
It was dark outside the window.
Almost every house on the opposite floor is lit up.
…
The boy leaned out of the window.
Below is the entrance to the unit building.
If his mother comes back, he can see her immediately.
…
The boy tightened his grip on the window edge.
Mother……
…
Before, my mind was full of miscellaneous things, and I didn't realize the passage of time, let alone my mother's late return.
So there is no anxiety.
but now……
He knew very clearly that his mother was late.
His heart suddenly felt like a boiling oil pan.
It was very painful.
…
Mother……
Why haven't you come back yet?
The boy opened his eyes wide, not missing any movement below.
…
The sensor light comes on a few times -
After all, it was late, and everyone who should have gone home had already gone home.
Occasionally there are a few people who come home late.
He was very excited and nervous.
But……
No mother.
…
The boy pursed his lips.
Because he exerted too much force, he felt slight pain from his lips.
But these pains are nothing at all.
His whole body was tense to the extreme.
So much so that his whole body trembled slightly.
He clenched his back molars harder and harder.
The emotions inside him were clogged in his throat.
It's like the next moment, I will be broken by a wildly beating heart...
…
Mom, mom, mom...
The boy shouted over and over again in his heart.
His eyes were fixed on the road at the door of the unit building.
Only when you occasionally look back at the time will your eyes briefly leave.
…
It's half past nine.
…
The boy removed his hand from his stomach.
His stomach went from the thunder of hunger at the beginning to "silence" now.
He was already numb with hunger.
In fact, we still have some snacks at home.
It's just that he didn't want to leave the window.
He wanted to find out his mother was back as soon as possible.
Moreover, even though he was very hungry, he had no appetite for anything to eat.
On the contrary, when he thought about what to eat, his stomach felt a little uneasy.
He doesn't eat.
He wants to wait for his mother to come back.
It's so late. I wonder if mom has eaten?
He wants to wait for his mother to come back and have dinner together.
…
Time passes minute by minute.
In a daze, the boy heard the ticking sound of a clock.
He rubbed his ears vigorously.
The ticking of the clock disappeared.
But other voices sounded in his mind.
…
"You have to be obedient."
"You only have your mother now."
"If mother doesn't want you, you will become an orphan."
"Orphans are very pitiful..."
…
orphan……
Of course he knows what an orphan is.
It is a child without a father or mother.
However, he clearly has both a father and a mother.
It's just that dad is away from home.
He believes that his father will come back one day.
And my mother just went to work.
Mother……
An idea flashed in the boy's mind.
That's right.
Mom is working overtime!
Mom must be working overtime.
Mom must also want to go home.
Mom will not be like dad...
Will not……
The boy told himself over and over in his heart.
Mom came back late just because of work...
It's definitely not that I don't want him anymore.
…
Suddenly, a burning sensation came from the corner of the boy's eyes.
The boy was a little startled.
He blinked subconsciously.
The next second, a drop of burning tears hit the back of his hand.
His fingers subconsciously contracted.
So hot.
…
Then, he reacted.
He cried.
…
It was as if his consciousness had opened the floodgates of tears.
"Papa~Pap~"
Big tears kept overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
He was a little flustered.
He hurriedly reached out to wipe it.
The tears flowed even more fiercely.
…
He wiped the tears on his face randomly.
However, his tears just kept flowing.
The boy was stiff all over.
After a few seconds, he covered his face with his hands.
Tears oozed from the gaps between fingers.
It dripped from the edge of the boy's hand.
…
A suppressed sob came from the boy's throat.
Even though he was the only one in the house at this time, he couldn't let go of crying.
Because he doesn't feel like he's going to cry now.
Why is he crying?
How would he explain it if his mother came back and saw it?
Mom is back...
The boy bit his lower lip.
Crying made my whole body tremble violently.
My hands felt hot and cold.
…
Mom...will she really come back?
Will... come back, right?
Will definitely come back.
…
The boy's body slowly slid down against the wall.
He tilted his head.
The hands covering his face dropped.
…
The room became quiet again.
The boy fell into a deep sleep.
His face was covered with tear stains and deep and shallow red marks left by hard rubbing.
Even in his sleep, there seemed to be tears oozing out of the corners of the boy's eyes.
…
"Get up! Get up!"
A familiar voice reached my ears.
The boy reached out his hands from the bed to fumble irritably.
…
"Get up! Get up-"
The sharp screams stopped abruptly.
The boy buried his head in the quilt for a while, then sat up with half-squinted eyes somewhat unwillingly.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and getting up early has become more and more painful.
The boy lowered his head.
He looked half asleep and half awake.
…
Just as the boy was about to fall into a dark sleep again -
"Get up! Get up!"
The sharp scream sounded again.
"rise-"
"Snapped!"
The boy's hand slammed on the alarm clock.
A look of annoyance.
It’s so noisy!
