Chapter 235: Brotherly Friendship and Respect (Part 1)
Shen was very obedient along the way, did not express any dissatisfaction, and let her make arrangements.
Song Shengsheng had more questions to ask. He originally wanted to ask him what was going on.
How did I get here? How am I going to get back?
But before she could finish her words, the boy bent down and stared at the boy she was holding with his dark eyes.
The boy smiled and said, "Mom, my brother was quite cute when he was little."
He looked serious, upright and cold, and was no different from the past.
Song Shengsheng pursed her lips and clenched her fingers. She said, "Don't say such strange things."
The boy smiled and said, "Okay."
The environment of the guesthouse is not very good. The rooms are cramped and dim, and the windows are narrow and small. Even if the windows are opened, the light is blocked by the walls outside.
Shen Zai, who has been spoiled since childhood, doesn't seem to care about this bad environment at all and adapts well.
He sat on the bed and patted the empty space next to him. "Would you like to sit for a while?"
Song Shengsheng shook her head and rejected him, "No thanks."
Then, Song Shengsheng gave him the money he had on him and said, "If you're hungry, go buy something to eat."
Shen Zai took the money with a smile: "Okay, sister."
He seemed to be very cooperative and obeyed her every word, as if he was the most obedient son in the world.
Although Song breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was still a mess.
"mother."
Fu Luochi's voice brought her back to her senses.
The boy looked a little listless and not very comfortable. He tugged gently at his mother's sleeve. His sickly look was heartbreaking.
"Xiaochi wants to go home."
Song Shengsheng grabbed his hand tightly and gently touched his head with her other hand: "I'll be back soon."
As she spoke, Song Shengsheng perked up and faced the young man in front of her who was taller than her. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The boy's attitude towards her seemed to be expected. He still looked at her with a smile, as if being able to see her was something worth being happy about.
It seemed as if he had no complaints about her leaving soon, and he could calmly accept whether it was good or bad.
Song Shengsheng hasn't said anything yet.
Shen Zaijiu continued slowly, "So brother was so good at acting like a spoiled brat when he was little? I don't see it coming out."
Song Shengsheng could sense that the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Chi was not one of genuine brotherly love and respect, but rather a glaring cold hatred as if he wished the other person would disappear immediately.
It’s just that he is very good at hiding it, and if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see the sharpness in his smile.
Song Shengsheng felt as if she was being torn apart by a scale. After a few seconds, she changed the subject: "I'll come to see you tomorrow."
"You, take good care of yourself."
Shen Zai was silent for a few seconds, and his smile gradually faded. He seemed not to have expected to hear such words from his mother.
His mother is caring about him.
Even so brief, it may not even be very sincere.
But he still felt he was very happy.
His heart had never been so satisfied.
He often thought at that time that he was obviously her child, and that his blood flowed in his body, and that he had inherited her genes.
Why doesn't she like herself?
Is it just because he was forced upon her?
This is so unfair to him.
Why should he bear the consequences? Does loving him mean betraying yourself?
Shen Zai didn't understand, nor could he forgive it.
"I will."
He continued in a stilted voice, "Sister."
Song Shengsheng actually felt awkward after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do. After a long silence, she took Xiaochi and silently left the room of the guesthouse.
They walked out of the door, and the boy was still following them.
The setting sun lengthened his reflection, just like the four Chinese characters “影随形” (shadow follows shape). So this is what it means.
Song Shengsheng stopped and didn't look back.
She just looked at the extra figure on the ground, feeling somewhat helpless: "How long are you going to follow me?"
Shen Zai put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. He said, "Sister, I just want to take you home."
Song Shengsheng fell silent and ignored him.
She continued walking forward with her head down, and when she reached the gate of the military compound, the young man behind her finally stopped.
He stood outside the door, quietly watching her walk out of his sight, holding another child that belonged to her.
Just like every time at home.
What he saw more often was actually her back; she was always reluctant to show him even her face.
So the boy really got used to it a long time ago.

After returning home, Song Shengsheng was still in a restless mood.
She had never encountered such a thing before, so it was normal for her to be at a loss for a moment and had no idea what to do.
She felt annoyed and at the same time felt sorry for the child named Zaizai.
Most importantly, she still hadn't figured out how he got here, a place that didn't belong to him.
What if I can’t go back in the future?
The upset Song Shengsheng took a few deep breaths, and after slowly calming down, he began to deal with things calmly.
She has been married to Fu Cheng for so many years, and now she has learned his way of dealing with people.
There is no use being irritable.
Being impulsive doesn't work either.
We have to sort them out one by one.
Song Shengsheng turned around and looked at Xiaochi. She said, "Xiaochi, don't tell anyone else about what happened today, okay?"
Fu Luochi didn't like the strange brother he saw in the Public Security Bureau today at all. He also didn't tell his mother that he had dreamed about this man before.
Although he was reluctant, the boy nodded seriously: "Okay, Mom."
Song Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief, at least she could keep it a secret for the time being, but, but what should she do?
If I could never go back to my original world in my lifetime, I would stay here forever.
Could she keep his existence a secret for the rest of her life?
This is difficult.
If she told Fu Cheng, many of her secrets would no longer be hidden.
Should she tell him that this is a period novel, and that the child who suddenly appeared is the son she will have with Shen Zhishu in the future?
This is ridiculous and unrealistic.
She might also be treated as a lunatic.
However, in fact, Song Shengsheng was not really afraid that Fu Cheng would know all this.
As if he could forgive everything that happened to her.
If not, if he was disappointed with her because of this, he would not be able to forgive her.
All we can say is that this is the fate that goes around in circles.
The setting of this book is that it is unwilling to let her go from beginning to end.
There is always a way to make her an abandoned cannon fodder ex-wife.
