Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

Su Xiaoqiang came out.

Her legs were a little weak, so she held onto the wall and moved out step by step.

Huai Xu stood at the door, feeling incredibly guilty.

But Su Xiaoqiang did nothing.

She simply lowered her head, leaned against the wall, slowly walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and washed her hands.

Then she looked up and glanced at Huai Xu in the mirror.

"you……"

"Um?"

"It's nothing..."

The sequence of events was a bit unexpected.

Given Su Xiaoqiang's personality, she would probably have already cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations by now.

But she simply washed her hands in silence, then turned and walked out.

She paused for a moment as she passed Huai Xu.

"You...didn't you hear me just now?"

Huai Xu was stunned for a moment.

No.

sister.

Is this the key point?

After regaining his senses, he shook his head frantically: "No, no, no, I didn't hear anything."

Su Xiaoqiang looked at him, her eyes filled with distrust.

"Really, I was listening to music with headphones on."

He took out his phone, put the earphones in his ears, and nodded twice in rhythm.

Su Xiaoqiang's gaze followed the headphone cord downwards.

Keep moving.

When I moved it to the phone port, I found that it wasn't plugged in at all.

Su Xiaoqiang: "…………"

Preface by Huai: "…………"

Su Xiaoqiang lowered her head.

Her shoulders began to tremble.

Huai Xu thought she was about to cry, so he quickly unplugged his earphones. "Um, Su Xiaoqiang, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just..."

puff-

Su Xiaoqiang smiled.

"You're really stupid."

Huai Xu was stunned.

This was not quite what he had expected.

"Help me up, my legs are weak."

Huai Xu quickly stepped forward and supported her arm.

Su Xiaoqiang leaned against him and slowly walked towards the school gate.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way.

Huai Xu didn't know what to say.

Su Xiaoqiang probably doesn't know either.

But the atmosphere wasn't awkward.

Well... after going through that kind of thing together, it seems like a lot of things don't matter anymore...

As for why no one suspected him... well, superpowers are just too mysterious a thing...

When Huai Xu reached the school gate, he discovered that Huang Mao and his two companions were gone.

Only three puddles of unidentified yellowish-brown objects remained on the ground, gleaming eerily in the setting sun.

Huai Xu glanced at it, then silently looked away.

It's better not to look at some things too closely.

Su Xiaoqiang's family's black car was already waiting at the school gate.

A middle-aged driver in a black suit saw Su Xiaoqiang come out and quickly came to greet her.

"Miss, what's wrong? You look so pale."

"It's nothing, just an upset stomach."

Su Xiaoqiang gave a perfunctory reply, then turned to look at Huai Xu.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

She simply pulled her arm away from his grasp, turned around, and got into the car.

The moment the car door closed, she suddenly rolled down the window again.

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"Um?"

"If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I'll kill you."

The car door closed.

The black sedan slowly drove away, its taillights fading into the twilight.

Huai Xu stood there, staring blankly in the direction the car had disappeared.

He glanced down at the system panel.

[Su Xiaoqiang's approval rating for you has risen to 17%]

Ok?

Ok? ? ?

17%? ? ?

Huai Xu stared at the number for five seconds to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

It's not 4%, it's not 7%, it's 17%.

It increased by 13% in one go.

No, this can go up?

Huai Xu recalled a word.

Stockholm syndrome.

No, this isn't called Stockholm, this is called...

Forget it, I'm not going to analyze it anymore.

A rise is a good thing.

He was about to go home when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

The locust tree turned its head.

Chen Wenwen stood next to the stone pillar at the school gate, holding a book in her hands.

"Wenwen's mom?" Huai Xu was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"

"I...I had a literary club activity this afternoon, it just ended."

Chen Wenwen's gaze followed the direction in which the black sedan had disappeared. "Was that... Su Xiaoqiang?"

"Ah, yes."

"You two...have a good relationship?"

"It's alright, we've only known each other for two days."

We've only known each other for two days.

He then helped the person into the car.

Chen Wenwen lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Huai Xu didn't notice the change in her expression; his mind was now completely occupied with the 17% approval rating on the system panel.

"Sister Wenwen, have you eaten? Let me treat you to dinner."

"No."

Chen Wenwen shook her head. "My mom cooked, I'm going home to eat."

"Shall I take you home?"

"No."

She walked past Huai Xu, carrying the book.

He took two steps, then stopped.

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"Um?"

"Do you... treat every girl like this?"

Huai Xu thought for a moment: "Not every one, it mainly depends on the feeling."

"How does it feel?"

"It's...the feeling of a mother."

Chen Wenwen fell silent.

"Oh……"

She gave a soft "oh," then turned and left.

As Huai Xu watched her departing figure, he felt that something was amiss.

But before he could think about it, his phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw that it was a QQ message from Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen: When you were with Su Xiaoqiang just now, did you call her "Mom"?

Huai Xu: No, what's wrong?

Chen Wenwen: It's nothing.

Chen Wenwen: I was just asking casually.

Chen Wenwen: Have you ever thought about letting her be your mother too?

Huai Xu: I've thought about it, what's wrong?

After the message was sent, there was a silence on the other end for about a minute.

Chen Wenwen: Oh.

Chen Wenwen: So will you still call me Mom?

Huai Xu was stunned for a moment.

What's the problem?

He thought for a moment and typed a reply.

Huai Xu: Of course I'll call you that! You're my first mother, how could I not?

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

Chen Wenwen: Then you're not allowed to call me "Mom" in front of other people anymore.

Huai Xu: Why?

Chen Wenwen: There's no reason why, it's just not allowed.

Huai Xu: Where can I call out?

Chen Wenwen: When it's just the two of us.

Huai Xu: Okay, Wenwen's mom.

Chen Wenwen: Mm.

[Chen Wenwen's approval rating: 18% → 22%]

Huai Xu stared at the system notification for a long time, stunned.

no……

How can this even go up in price?

What did he just do to Chen Wenwen?

Nothing was done.

Just because she got a little closer to Su Xiaoqiang, Chen Wenwen's approval rating increased?

After pondering it for a while, Huai Xu roughly figured it out.

On the surface, Chen Wenwen is an artistic young woman—gentle, quiet, and unassuming.

But she is also a woman.

Every woman has a possessive nature.

Although she doesn't acknowledge Huai Xu as her son, he has called her "Mom" for so many days that she has come to regard this "son" as her own to some extent.

Now suddenly a Su Xiaoqiang appears, who is prettier than her, richer than her, and has a "good relationship" with Huai Xu.

Chen Wenwen immediately felt a sense of crisis.

She was afraid that Huai Xu wouldn't call her anymore.

I'm afraid Huai Xu will go and find Su Xiaoqiang to be his mother.

So her approval rating actually increased.

"So, a battlefield of carnage is the only right path??"
