Hearing the blogger's words, Xu Zhaozhao's mind suddenly went blank.

The blogger's complaints continued to pour out, but Xu Zhaozhao couldn't hear a single word.

There's video evidence; the slow-motion replay makes it crystal clear: Shangguan Du really didn't kick him, yet he still flew through the air...

Xu Zhaozhao felt someone pinching her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

This part is the funniest in the whole video, so there are a lot of comments from netizens, flashing out from the side of the screen in droves.

[Air: What did I do to you?]

[Don't kick! Don't kick! My sister Zhao is suffocating!! [Crying]]

[Air: Brother! Ouch! [Crying] If you're going to act, just act! Why did you kick me?!]

[Wow, the comments are so witty, I'm laughing so hard I'm dizzy! [facepalm]]

...

So that's where the "kicking the air" meme comes from...

Snap.

The phone that Xu Zhaozhao was holding slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

The color drained from her face in an instant, turning her complexion pale. She clutched her nightgown until it was crumpled, and breathed heavily.

Shangguan Du didn't kick him; he flew out on his own... he flew out on his own...

The harsh words she had said to Gu Qingyan kept echoing in her mind.

"Gu Qingyan, go apologize to Yu Yao."

"Gu Qingyan, you're disgusting."

...

"Mother!"

Xu Zhaozhao was brought back to her senses by Gu Yulin's childish voice.

Gu Yulin, who had just finished class, saw Xu Zhaozhao's appearance in the living room and came down the stairs in a hurry.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

He pulled Xu Zhaozhao, who was slumped on the ground, into his arms. Xu Zhaozhao's eyes were red, and she bit her lower lip to stop her tears from falling.

He kept shaking his head, trying to show that he was fine, but it wasn't very convincing.

"Fish, just sit with Mom for a while."

After what seemed like an eternity, Xu Zhaozhao finally regained her voice and spoke hoarsely to Gu Yulin.

Gu Yulin silently stayed with her and nodded.

"Mommy, have a candy, or your body won't be able to take it." The little hand reached into her pocket, pulled out a strawberry candy, and handed it to Xu Zhaozhao.

Xu Zhaozhao saw the familiar packaging and was reminded of someone who kept appearing in her mind.

The first strawberry candy she ate after she came into this world...

It was given to me by Gu Qingyan.

Xu Zhaozhao, who had just held back her tears, felt like crying again.

With a slightly flustered gesture, she tore open the wrapper of the strawberry candy and popped it into her mouth.

The rich strawberry flavor filled my mouth, and the sweetness diluted the urge to burst into tears.

She couldn't bear to bite it, and kept it in her mouth until it melted naturally.

Xu Zhaozhao forced a smile, "Let's go have lunch."

Gu Yulin always went along with her, sitting next to her and having lunch with her.

But he also noticed that Xu Zhaozhao ate very little for breakfast and lunch.

This worried him greatly.

After lunch, Gu Yulin was supposed to take a nap, but no matter how Xu Zhaozhao tried to persuade him, he refused to go to sleep.

"Baby, Mommy is really okay. Why don't you go take a nap?"

Xu Zhaozhao gently nudged his small shoulder.

Gu Yulin shook his head without hesitation, "No need, I slept two hours more this morning, so I can sleep two hours less at noon."

"Unless Mom tells me what happened!"

Gu Yulin was giving her a headache.

Just then, the phone, which the nanny had picked up and placed on the coffee table, started vibrating again.

My WeChat notifications have increased significantly.

Xu Zhaozhao took the phone and opened WeChat.

It was a message from Ms. Song.

Song Zhiyu: Didi, didi, good boy.

Song Zhiyu: Sweetie, Mommy's awake (actually, she's been awake all day). Mommy misses you so much.

Song Zhiyu: Mom doesn't blame you. Can you come see Mom? If it's convenient, you can bring Yuyu along. [Handshake][Smile]

Just a few days ago, a shocking piece of news caused his mother to collapse and be hospitalized.

Xu Zhaozhao received a deathly smile, which made her shudder, but she knew that Song Zhiyu meant no harm.

She dared to admit it so openly because of Ms. Song's boundless tolerance for her daughter.

Yu Yu's existence will eventually be discovered by her family. Keeping it a secret forever isn't a solution, so it's better to take this opportunity to be honest.

Xu Zhaozhao took a deep breath.

I really should go see my mother...

But I promised Yu Yu I'd spend the whole day with him.

Xu Zhaozhao turned her gaze to Gu Yulin, and his gaze also fell on her, patiently waiting for her to speak.

Yu Yu is so smart, she must know that Song Zhiyu went to the hospital because she knew about his existence.

I won't have any complaints about Song Zhiyu, and then...

Xu Zhaozhao really didn't know what to say, so she directly handed over her chat history with Ms. Song for Gu Yulin to see.

"Baby, Grandma wants us to go see her."

Xu Zhaozhao tentatively suggested, "How about we take the afternoon off this day and go see Grandma?"

"OK."

Gu Yulin nodded without hesitation, his clear eyes showing no emotion that would frighten Xu Zhaozhao.

"I also want to chat with my grandma."

Ironically, Gu Yulin's motivation to study stemmed entirely from investigating Xu Zhaozhao.

His mother never used to tell him what he was doing or who was around him.

Gu Yulin, who was still young, attributed all of this to his lack of understanding of Xu Zhaozhao.

He then began to investigate Xu Zhaozhao frantically, investigating her schedule and her family background.

Sometimes when his investigations encountered obstacles, he would rack his brains to find solutions.

So even though the Gu family didn't offer him any courses in this area, he became proficient in computer programming.

From the very beginning, Gu Yulin knew that Song Zhiyu was his maternal grandmother.

Just as Xu Zhaozhao pretended not to recognize her mother, he could only pretend not to recognize his maternal grandmother.

He longed to be involved in everything Xu Zhaozhao did, and to deepen his bond with her.

Xu Zhaozhao was slightly surprised.

Then she smiled, ruffled his hair, and said, "Good boy!"

Xu Zhaozhao asked for the afternoon off for him, went to the dressing room to change out of her pajamas and put on a plain black dress.

He sighed as he looked in the full-length mirror.

I thought I wouldn't be going out today, but plans never keep up with changes.

Fortunately, the baby fish agreed to go out with her.

Otherwise, with her elderly mother on one side and her son on the other, Xu Zhaozhao would be tormented.

Gu Yulin dressed very well, having chosen a pair of overalls for herself.

This softened his somewhat sharp aura, making him look even cuter.

This is not his usual style.

In the car, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but pinch her son's cheek. "Baby, why are you dressed so cutely today?"
