Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

Huai Xu began to seriously consider this question.

What does Lu Mingfei lack?

Lack of love.

Lack of maternal love.

In the original story, his parents were practically nonexistent, his aunt treated him like free labor, and although his uncle treated him fairly well, he didn't really care about him.

This guy has lived for eighteen years, and he's basically been a wild orphan with no one to care for him or love him.

So what is he doing?

He is recognizing Lu Mingfei as his mother.

Is someone who lacks maternal love recognizing another person who lacks maternal love as their mother?

Isn't this just like two beggars begging for food from each other?

What Lu Mingfei needs isn't a son, he needs a mother!

What is Huai Xu doing now?

He's demanding maternal love from Lu Ming!

What does he need? Lu Mingfei is starving himself, where would he get milk to drink?

"Holy crap, this is out of control!"

Huai Xu slapped his thigh, startling an elderly woman passing by.

"What a nutcase!" the woman muttered as she walked away.

Huai Xu ignored her and continued his brainstorming.

He had been thinking about how to gain recognition from Lu Mingfei. But he had never considered one question: what could he offer Lu Mingfei?

The system states that "there must be a genuine emotional bond between the mother and child."

Emotional bond between mother and child.

The key to these four words is not mother and child, but emotional connection.

It is bidirectional.

It's mutual.

He cannot only take without giving back.

What can he give Lu Mingfei?

money?

Lu Mingfei is indeed short of money, but we can't give him money directly.

Friendship?

Inviting someone to dinner, playing games, chatting... but these things are too superficial. At best, they make you a good friend, but they're a far cry from being a mother.

maternal love?

How can an eighteen-year-old man give motherly love to anyone?

But then I thought, what is motherly love?

It's not just about having a child and calling someone "Mom"; it's about unconditional care, tolerance, and dedication.

He lacks a mother.

Lu Mingfei also lacks a mother.

Why don't two people who lack a mother become each other's mothers?

Who says a son can't be a mother's mother?

Motherly love knows no generation!

Mothers can be each other!

The order of events was decided by Huai Xu.

He wants to be Lu Mingfei's mother!

[System suggestion: Please check if your mental state is normal.]

"I'm perfectly normal."

[System notification: According to the detection, the host's suppression index is 99, which is at its highest point in history.]

"That doesn't affect my normal thinking."

He opened QQ and sent a message to Lu Mingfei.

Huai Xu: Are you there?

Lu Mingfei: Yes, what's wrong?

Huai Xu: Are you free tomorrow at noon? I have something important to tell you.

Lu Mingfei: What is it? Can't we talk about it on QQ?

Huai Xu: No, it's too important, I have to say it in person.

Lu Mingfei: ...Don't tell me you're going to find another mother.

Huai Xu: No.

Lu Mingfei: That's alright.

Huai Xu: This refers to recognizing a son.

Lu Mingfei: ? ? ?

Huai Xu: See you at the usual place tomorrow at noon.

Lu Mingfei: Explain yourself! What do you mean by "adopting a son"? Whom do you want to adopt as your son?

Huai Xu: You'll find out tomorrow.

Lu Mingfei: ? ...! !

Huai Xu closed QQ and began to think about how to tell Lu Mingfei about this.

I definitely can't just say I want to be your mother.

First, an emotional foundation must be established before making a request to recognize relatives.

First, let Lu Mingfei feel the mother's love, then tell him that the source of the mother's love is him.

After thinking it over, Huai Xu decided to start implementing the "Motherly Love Bombardment Plan" on Lu Mingfei starting tomorrow.

The plan includes, but is not limited to:

First, treat Lu Mingfei to a meal every day, making sure he is well-fed.

Secondly, send Lu Mingfei good morning and good night messages every day to make him feel that someone cares about him.

Third, when Lu Mingfei encountered difficulties, he was the first to appear and unconditionally stood by his side.

Fourth, when Lu Mingfei is bullied, stand up for him (using "take a dump").

Fifth, when Lu Mingfei is in a bad mood, chat with him and listen to his troubles.

Huai Xu felt that he had grasped the essence of maternal love.

Noon the next day.

Huai Xu arrived at the school gate early and waited for Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei arrived late.

"What...what exactly do you want to tell me?"

"Let's eat first, and talk while we eat."

The two went to a small restaurant near the school.

Huai Xu ordered a few dishes, then looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "Lu Mingfei, I've thought about it all night and finally figured it out."

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard and shrank back slightly: "What have you figured out?"

"I've figured out what you're missing."

What am I lacking?

"You lack love."

"What...what did you say?"

I said you're starved for love.

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

Because what Huai Xu said is correct.

He definitely lacked love.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been unconditionally kind to him.

His parents live abroad and he only sees them once every few years. If it weren't for the money they regularly send back every now and then, he would have thought they were living abroad.

Although his uncle and aunt took him in, it was because his parents gave him a large sum of money, enough for their family to live a comfortable life.

But he was never really part of the family. His aunt always looked at him with disdain, while his uncle had an expression that said, "I don't want to take care of you, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Needless to say, nobody at school respected him.

He was like an outsider in this world, his presence was practically nonexistent.

"So what? What are you trying to achieve by saying all this?"

Huai Xu took a deep breath.

"I want to be your mother."

"..."

Lu Mingfei thought he had misheard.

"What did you say?"

"I want to be your mother."

"Say it again?"

"I want to be your mother."

Lu Mingfei put down his chopsticks, covered his face with his hands, and remained silent for about ten seconds.

Then he looked up at Huai Xu's serious face.

"Are you playing me again?"

No. I'm serious.

"You're a man, and you want to be my mother?"

"Motherly love knows no gender."

You're the same age as me!

"A mother's love knows no age."

"You're my classmate!"

"A mother's love knows no social status."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, only to find that whatever he said was met with a rebuttal from Huai Xu.

How can this person be so talkative?

"Why...why do you want to be my mother?"

"Because you lack love, while I have love."

What do you love?

"I have a mother's love."

Lu Mingfei felt like he was going crazy.

Every time I talk to this person, I feel like my brain circuits are being forcibly reshaped by him.

"Huai Xu, tell me the truth, are you trying to comfort me because you feel sorry for me?"

"no."

"Then what are you after?"

"Just to make you happy."

Lu Mingfei fell silent again.

He lowered his head, poking at the food in his bowl with his chopsticks, seemingly lost in thought.

Huai Xu didn't rush him, but waited patiently for him to process the information.

After about three minutes, Lu Mingfei finally spoke.

"Huai Xu, do you know how strange it sounds when you say these things?"

"I know."

"Then why did you say it?"

"Because it's true."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.

"I...I need time to think."

"Okay, no rush."

Huai Xu smiled, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Lu Mingfei's bowl, "Eat first, don't go hungry."

Lu Mingfei looked at the piece of meat in the bowl, and his eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

[Lu Mingfei's approval rating rises to 15%]
