Enjoy life, but be passive

Xu Xuejing hugged his arm and said, "Brother, you are just visiting my house. You have been taking care of me all this time, so it is only right for me to let mom get to know you."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao glanced at her.

If you put it that way, it does make sense.

After all, she is a mother. No matter how busy she is at work, she should at least ask her daughter what she eats every night.

and so.

Xu Xuejing must have told about herself, so her mother should know about her existence.

This way.

It is only right to go as a guest.

......

"Okay, I'll go back with you at twelve o'clock, but I can't say whether your mother is awake or not."

Chen Xiao's mouth twitched when he thought of Xu Xuejing saying that her mother always reeked of alcohol when she came home.

How can you communicate normally with a drunk person?

"No, she shouldn't be very busy today." Xu Xuejing blinked her eyes and looked very expectant as well.

......

The time soon came to twelve o'clock.

Outside the corridor, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground was heard on time.

"Let's go, brother."

Xu Xuejing, who had already put on her schoolbag, took Chen Xiao's hand and walked out quickly.

As for socks?

It must be left for Chen Xiao to wash.

The two came to the corridor.

Chen Xiao saw the back of a woman standing opposite him, bending slightly to open the door.

"mom!"

Xu Xuejing cried out.

The woman turned around.

Under the orange voice-controlled light, Chen Xiao could see her facial features clearly.

A face that is 70% similar to Xu Xuejing, with almond eyes, a delicate nose, and a cherry mouth, but between the eyebrows, there is a hint of faint, unremovable sadness.

She was tall, wearing a women's suit and a pair of black high heels with red soles.

at a distance.

Chen Xiao smelled alcohol.

"Xiaoxue?"

Xu Xuejing's mother was stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to Chen Xiao next to her with a slightly surprised look.

"This is?"

Xu Xuejing immediately replied, "Mom, this is the brother I told you about, who lives across the street and is very kind to me. I have been eating at his house these days."

Xu Xuejing's mother suddenly realized what was going on, and a smile appeared on her pale face.

"Oh... it's you. You're very handsome. Thank you for taking care of my daughter during this period. Come in and sit for a while."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Hello, sister. If Xiaoxue didn't call you, I would have thought you were her sister."

"Hehehe."

"You are such a sweet talker, young man... come in first."

Xu Xuejing's mother opened the door.

Chen Xiao and Xu Xuejing walked in.

...

Just as she said.

This house is a bit messy.

Some women's clothes were thrown casually on the sofa.

There are flesh-colored stockings as thin as a cicada's wing, short skirts... and small pants with cute bunny prints.

Chapter 38 The Tired Woman

It seemed that he noticed Chen Xiao's gaze.

Xu Xuejing's mother smiled awkwardly, quickly picked up all the clothes on the sofa and threw them into the bedroom.

then.

She asked Chen Xiao to sit down.

"Sit down young man, what's your name?"

"Sister, my name is Chen Xiao, and I'm a senior in No. 2 Middle School."

Chen Xiao introduced himself.

His eyes were on Xu Xuejing's mother's wrist.

there.

He saw a tattoo of a bright red rose.

"Yes, I'm Xiaoxue's mother. My name is Mi Wei."

"Hello, Sister Wei." Chen Xiao nodded again.

Mi Wei laughed, "Ah, you look like this, I thought I was the big sister of the club."

"Mom, stop it! What big sister? It's really embarrassing."

Xu Xuejing, who had been paying attention to whether the task was completed, suddenly heard some very strange words coming out of her mother's mouth, and immediately said.

"Xiaoxue, you dislike your mother again, don't you? Did you pay your tuition? Did you know? And you..."

"Alright, alright! I haven't spent your money since three days ago, so don't bring this up."

Xu Xuejing interrupted Mi Wei impatiently.

"You kid...I have raised you for nothing, your heartless father..."

Speaking of which.

Mi Wei, who was a little excited, suddenly realized that there was a guest in her house... She immediately shut up.

"Uh, Chen Xiao, I'm sorry, Xiaoxue is a bit rebellious and I can't control her."

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly and took the initiative to act as a peacemaker.

"Sister Wei, this is what happens when children grow up. Xiaoxue is sixteen years old and is in the rebellious period of adolescence. You just need to communicate with her more."

"And Xiaoxue, how can you talk to your mother like that? Your mother works very hard and it's not easy to raise you. Hurry up and apologize to your mother."

"I!"

Xu Xuejing was about to say "no way" when she saw Chen Xiao's eyes.

no way...

Xu Xuejing could only say, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm not in a good mood. I'll go back to my room first."

Done.

She just got up and left, walking into the bedroom without looking back.

With a loud "bang", the door was slammed shut.

.....

"Alas, this child, I can't control him at all."

Mi Wei looked helpless. She frowned and held her forehead with her hand, her face full of worry. At this moment, she was a helpless woman.

A strange emotion surged in Chen Xiao's heart. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he stood up and sat down next to Mi Wei.

The distance is close.

Now, Chen Xiao could clearly smell a very immersive scent of perfume mixed with alcohol.

"Sister Wei, Xiaoxue is actually a good kid. When she was at my house, she often told me how hard you work, and she hoped you wouldn't be so tired, and she felt sorry for you..."

"really?"

Mi Wei raised her head, a hint of emotion flashed across her brows, but she quickly lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

"Xiaoxue, when she was little, she was very obedient. She always clung to me, called me mom, and even washed my feet."

"I know that I am a big part of the reason why Xiaoxue became like this."

"But who can understand me? I am a woman who has to make a living and support a family. I really can't spare any time to be a mother."

“I’m so tired…”

As she spoke, Mi Wei's voice became choked with sobs.

Chen Xiao moved his hand.

Although he didn't know how to comfort a woman who was exhausted, he always felt that a hug could solve a lot of problems.

You can do this...

Isn't this a bit too abrupt?

I am just a guest. What qualifications do I have to hug this young mother who is almost suffocated by life?

Chen Xiao slowly put his hand down, feeling mixed emotions.

"Feel sorry."

Mi Wei sniffed and finally smiled.

"I shouldn't have behaved like this in front of you, Chen Xiao... Thank you for taking care of my daughter and giving her a hot meal. Thank you."

"fine."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, you don't have to thank me, Sister Wei."

"Oh, right..."

Mi Wei seemed to remember something. She looked towards the sofa, then found her bag. She then took out a few hundred-dollar bills from it and placed them on the coffee table.

"Chen Xiao, this is Xiaoxue's meal money. I may have to trouble you again during this period. I know she sometimes skips meals."

Chen Xiao refused directly, "Sister Wei, I don't want this money. I just said that Xiaoxue coming to my house for dinner is just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks, and Xiaoxue has also brought me a lot of joy."

"Sister Wei, I am an orphan. I have never had a father or a mother to love me since I was a child. Now Xiaoxue is willing to call me brother. I am very happy and willing to take care of this sister. I don't want any money."

After listening to this.

Mi Wei's eyes showed deep admiration.

She put the money away and said seriously, "Chen Xiao, you are a good child. I am relieved that you take care of Xiaoxue."

"It's your turn, Sister Wei..."

Chen Xiao scratched his head habitually and felt embarrassed.

Mi Wei's smile was very charming. The bitter smile just now made even an inexperienced boy like him feel a desire to protect her.

just now.

Her smile from the heart is like a fiery rose blooming in the wind, its fragrance refreshing.

......

The two chatted for a while.
