A woman in her thirties, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, smart short hair, with the left side of her hair tied behind her ear, some light makeup, and a white shirt with a slightly open collar.
His eyes were focused on the computer screen placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and his slender fingers tapped the last button.
As if playing the piano, after finishing, he leaned back, his back pressed against the sofa, straightened his back and exhaled deeply.
Perhaps because she had been wearing high heels all day, she felt some discomfort in her toes.
Straighten your calves, raise your legs, and move your toes with red nail polish slightly.
It was quiet for a while, and all that could be heard was the ticking sound from the alarm clock hanging on the wall.
Looking at the time, a trace of worry flashed across his brow. After the phone number rang a few times, no one answered the call.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a key turning at the door, and she quickly sat upright.
Zhao Xuanwen opened the door and walked in.
"Why are you back so late today?"
The woman sitting on the sofa asked aloud.
Taking off his shoes, Zhao Xuanwen trotted all the way to the living room, turned around and sat down next to the woman.
"Went to play at a classmate's house!"
He hugged the other person's arm, and Zhao Xuanwen pressed his face against it.
"Mom, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"You!"
He reached out and poked Zhao Xuanwen in the forehead.
As the mother of Zhao Xuanwen, she is only 36 years old.
Her name is Zhao Yalin.
Divorced status.
There was worry and a hint of reproach on his face.
"I went to your classmate's house to play and didn't know how to make a phone call?"
"The phone is out of battery!"
As if to prove that what he said was true, Zhao Xuanwen quickly took out a pink flip phone from his small school bag, with a puppy-style chain doll hanging on it.
Open the cover and press the buttons randomly, but the screen is still black.
"Look, I didn't lie!"
Looking away from the phone, Zhao Yalin smiled.
"Never again, I will ensure that I can contact you 100% from now on."
"As you command! Mother!"
Looking at his daughter's playful and smiling face, Zhao Yalin didn't know why, but the fatigue from today's work seemed to have disappeared, and he began to feel relaxed and happy.
My daughter has the ability to bring laughter to others.
Suddenly I remembered something.
"You went to your classmate's house to play? Which one?"
"Forehead……"
When asked suddenly, Zhao Xuanwen suddenly became speechless.
His big eyes wandered around, as if he wanted to avoid something.
"Mom, have you eaten?"
"answer me!"
Holding Zhao Xuanwen's face with both hands, he squeezed the slightly baby fat face into a ball.
"Which of your classmates does your mother not know about?"
Pretending to be a serious expression on his face.
Zhao Yalin knew that although her daughter was lively and cheerful, she had not had many friends since elementary school. She had never played at her classmates' houses before, let alone played until so late.
"Liu Zhiyue, my deskmate!"
"Boys and girls!"
"Male...male"
Zhao Yalin's expression became surprised. She didn't expect that the classmate's home her daughter went to was actually the home of a male classmate.
"Why are you, a girl, running to someone else's house?"
He grabbed Zhao Xuanwen's cheek with both hands and pulled it out.
"Mom, don't pinch it if it hurts!"
"Do you dare to do it next time?!"
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Zhao Xuanwen looked like he was about to cry in pain.
How could Zhao Yalin not know that the other party was pretending? She always used her reluctance to achieve her goals.
"I won't be fooled this time, tell me!"
"Just... I'll show her the notes I took, because he was suspended from school for a week..."
Zhao Xuanwen finally spoke out, and she began to dare not look directly into her mother's eyes.
The movement paused for a moment, and finally Zhao Yalin let go of his hand.
Zhao Xuanwen, relieved, raised his hands to rub his face and stared at Zhao Yalin with a resentful look.
"Why did you get suspended for a week?"
"..."
Zhao Xuanwen stopped rubbing his face and was speechless for a moment.
It was just her gradually turning red face that made her start to panic.
"A boy in the class asked me to help buy water, and then he got into a conflict with him."
He muttered in a very low volume.
Zhao Yalin was stunned for a moment, and then she knew what was going on.
He raised his hand and touched Zhao Xuanwen's head.
"That's why you should thank someone so much."
"Yeah!"
Nodding his head, Zhao Xuanwen smiled again.
“His father’s cooking is delicious!”
"Really!"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Xuanwen seemed to feel that something was wrong with his mother's tone.
"Does it taste better than mom's cooking?"
"certainly!"
"you!"
He stretched out his hand and wanted to knock the other person on the head, but when he saw Zhao Xuanwen quickly covering his head and shrinking into a ball, Zhao Yalin chose to put down his hand.
His face became a little worried.
"Mom is not saying anything. You must not fall in love with someone just because of this."
As soon as Zhao Yalin finished speaking, Zhao Xuanwen suddenly sat up straight, his face turned red and he shook his hands desperately in denial.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I...I, I, I, how can I like him!"
He lowered his head, clasped his fingers as if to criticize something, and kept mumbling in his mouth.
"Although he is quite tall, he is also very heavy. Sometimes he seems to be indifferent when talking to him, and his grades are average. He often does not run the entire distance during physical education tests, although that day he was a little
Xiaoshuai, but...I don't give him a chance so easily!"
After speaking as if he was sure, Zhao Xuanwen kept nodding his head and said something affirmative.
"real!"
How could he not see it? Zhao Yalin chuckled.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, mom believes in you!"
After I finished speaking, I seemed to have thought of something.
"There is a photo of that little boy. Mom wants to see it."
"There are photos."
Nodding his head, Zhao Xuanwen didn't think much, and quickly ran back to his room, took out the charger, and charged his phone.
After turning on the phone, I randomly found a photo of Liu Zhiyue from the photo album.
It was taken after class. At that time, Liu Zhiyue was in a daze. Perhaps his peripheral vision caught Zhao Xuanwen raising his phone and then turning away his face in surprise.
Captured by Zhao Xuanwen.
He quickly raised his phone and showed it to Zhao Yalin.
"Hahaha, that's it. His expression was very funny at that time."
Zhao Yalin quickly moved his face up and looked carefully.
His brows furrowed a little.
She is indeed a bit fat...but it can be seen that her facial features are really good, and she should still have some foundation.
It’s just... I seem to have seen it somewhere?
Pressing the page turning button, Zhao Xuanwen continued.
"And this, this is also funny."
Clicked again.
"The same goes for this one. I drank a big mouthful of water and choked!"
As if he had reached an exciting point, Zhao Xuanwen kept flipping through the photo album.
Until she was holding her phone, sitting on the sofa with her legs curled up, and kept looking at the photo album in her phone, the smile on her face never disappeared.
This girl...
Seeing his daughter's virtue, Zhao Yalin shook his head.
I took so many photos on my phone...
My daughter...has grown up too.
It's just... I do seem to have seen that face somewhere.
There was a very familiar but indescribable feeling, and her daughter's appearance made her even more headache.
Looking at his daughter who was still giggling, Zhao Yalin's mood suddenly became a little bad.
It seems...that my cabbage is about to be eaten by pigs.
