In his world.
Love is plunder and an unreasonable possession.
If you like it, you should get it.
From childhood to adulthood, as long as it was something he liked, someone would take the initiative to deliver it to him the next day.
When he was studying at an international school, as long as he showed the slightest interest in a classmate, the teacher would take the initiative to arrange that classmate to be his deskmate.
The only thing he never had was his mother's love.
So he habitually used the method of snatching, using a wild attitude and a determination to possess everything.
And for so long, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
It seems like just now, I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Be patient and let go.
It seems to be a way of love.
But Shen Zai felt that he would never be able to do this in his lifetime.
Like his father, he becomes extremely selfish when it comes to matters concerning his mother and will never learn to give in or let go.
Shen Zai slowly came back to his senses from this strange thought. He looked at his mother with a smile and repeated, "Mom, I'm glad he's not angry with you."
Finally, the boy added, "I know you like him very much. You would be sad if he got angry with you."
Shen Zai felt that his mother might not even realize how much she liked Fu Cheng.
During these few times of getting along, he could also see that she was a little inconsistent in what she said and what she meant, and was always embarrassed to express her love.
He is tough and stubborn, but also very arrogant.
You can say whatever you want without any scruples, without having to think carefully or consider anyone's face.
Song Shengsheng felt a little embarrassed by what he said. She didn't like Fu Cheng very much.
Do you like it? Obviously only a little bit!
Well, maybe a little more than a little.
In this matter, Song Shengsheng seemed to be deliberately competing with others. She always felt that the other person must have given more love than her, and she must always stand in a superior and invincible position.
Not being at a disadvantage is her way of protecting herself.
Even now, she still has some instinctive inertia, which is not easy to change.
"Don't pretend you know everything." Song Shengsheng looked at him with droopy eyebrows and said stubbornly, "You are still a child, how can you understand adult matters."
He should stop interfering in adults’ affairs!
I don’t know if I’m tired of pretending to be so mature.
Shen Zai smiled, and was willing to listen to her at this time, "Mom, I was talking nonsense."
When Song Shengsheng heard the word "mom", she was obviously stunned.
After all, the child seldom called her like that. He seemed like a young master from an old castle. To put it bluntly, he was a little old-fashioned and pedantic. Whenever he saw her, he would always prefer to use more serious titles.
I like to call her mother.
I don't really call her mom.
Song Shengsheng responded with a "hmm", but did not refute his address as she did at first. She was hesitant and asked him not to call her that.
It was as if she had accepted his existence.
And slowly accepted him.
In fact, Song Shengsheng felt that she didn't dislike him that much at all.
She said vaguely, "If you have any questions about your studies, you can ask me."
Shen Zai nodded and said seriously, "Okay."
In the early 1980s, the college entrance examination papers were not that difficult. It was just that people’s foundation at that time was generally not very good, so they felt that the papers were as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Shen Zai took the textbook his mother gave him, and after simply familiarizing himself with it for a few days, he was able to answer most of the questions on last year's test paper.
When it comes to exams, hard work will never beat talent.
People who are naturally smart can get high scores by just studying casually.
But Shen Zai would still pretend in front of his mother, acting very diligent and studying hard.
Song Shengsheng would come to see him every now and then. She rarely cooked, and every time she came she would just bring some food she got from the cafeteria.
The taste is not that good.
Shen Zai always eats it all.
Her textbooks, having been in his hands for so long, still looked new. He flipped through them carefully, placing them in a very elegant place.
Shen Zaineng could imagine his mother's serious look from the densely packed notes in the textbook.
It must be very cute.
That day, Song Shengsheng came to see him again with a lunch box and said a lot of things: "You don't have to work too hard. You can only take the college entrance examination next year. There are still seven or eight months. There is plenty of time."
Shen Zai put down the pen in his hand, "Well, okay."
He didn't say he couldn't take the exam.
He looked at her, the sunlight coming in through the glass window reflected in his eyes, and his dark pupils seemed to be refracted to be as clear as amber.
He just looked at her without blinking.
Now he always cherishes this hard-earned time.
"mother."
"Um?"
"I bought you a gift."
Song Shengsheng raised his head in surprise and looked at him, "Where did you get the money?"
He hadn't asked her for money for a long time.
Song Shengsheng didn't know where he got the money from.
Everyone around her seemed to make money easily, except her, who was always working hard to save money.
Shen thought for a while and gave a very ambiguous answer: "It's not very glorious, and it's not convenient to say."
He then added, "But if mom really wants to know, I will tell you the truth. I never lie to you."
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
Song Shengsheng thought about it, then shook her head: "No, I don't want to know."
What if it is some illegal criminal activity?
She knew about the incident but didn't report it, and yet she was still implicated.
Shen Zai smiled and said, "Okay."
Then he took out the gift he had prepared. It looked very simple and ordinary, a jade Buddha.
Song Shengsheng liked the jade Buddha the moment she saw it. She didn't know much about jade, she only knew what was pretty and what was not. The jade of this jade Buddha looked very clear and had a very good luster.
"Mom, do you like it?"
Song Shengsheng took the jade Buddha, and she did not pretend to say that she didn't like it.
Instead, he nodded vigorously: "It looks good! I like it."
Song Shengsheng held it lovingly and after admiring it enough, she asked him again: "Where did you buy it? This looks very expensive. Do you have that much money?"
Even if Shen Zai now has a way to make money.
But is it possible to make money this way?
Song Shengsheng was not worldly-wise. Every New Year, the elders of the Fu family would give her gifts. Some of them might not seem very impressive, but a closer look would reveal that they were very valuable.
The same is true of the jade Buddha in her hand.
It's obvious that this is not a cheap product.
Although price is not the only factor to consider.
But expensive ones are always better.
When Shen Zai heard his mother say without hesitation that she liked him, Runze's eyes seemed to sparkle with bright light. He was also stunned for a moment, as if he had not yet recovered his spirits.
He gave his mother many gifts.
Expensive and rare.
But she always looks indifferent, never showing any expression, and always avoids the question when asked whether she likes it or not.
When he insisted on getting an answer.
She would say impatiently that she doesn't like it.
Although those gifts were lying safely in her collection cabinet, quietly placed there, they had never seen the light of day a second time.
In his opinion, this jade Buddha is not that good.
The texture is not the best, and the workmanship is not that sophisticated, but it is the best choice at the moment.
People like him also took it to the temple to be consecrated, just for the sake of good meaning.
"It's not expensive in an antique shop, Mom."
When Song Shengsheng heard that it was not expensive, she felt relieved and did not ask any more questions.
Shen Zai was in a happier mood than ever before. This feeling of being needed made him feel extremely satisfied. For once, the gifts he gave out were not stored in a dark place.
"I'll put it on for you."
He said this as he walked up to her.
Song Shengsheng did not resist and handed the necklace to him naturally.
Shen lowered his head and carefully helped her put on the jade Buddha.
He never believed in these things before.
It's just that when there are things in life that he can't do anything about, and no matter how hard he struggles, he is helpless, so he just accepts his fate.
He is like a devout believer.
But this time, he wasn't praying to God in his heart, hoping that his mother would love him a little more.
Instead, I hope that she can live a carefree and happy life like she is now.
As long as she is happy.
Song Shengsheng didn't notice the twists and turns in his heart. She just touched the jade Buddha on her neck and asked him, "Does it look good?"
Shen Zai nodded: "It looks good."
Song Shengsheng deliberately found a mirror to look at herself. The thin red rope made the skin on her neck look even more delicate and white. The cool jade Buddha felt very comfortable against her skin.
This jade Buddha fits her surprisingly well.
She likes it very much.
After a while, Song Shengsheng turned around and said to him, "You can make money, right? Don't spend all your savings."
She didn't tell him not to buy it again.
I still have to buy it for her.
Of course.
You should only spend money on her after you have enough food to eat.
If I am so poor that I can't even afford to eat, spending this kind of money on her will only make her unhappy.
Shen Zai said, "Well, don't worry, Mom."
Song Shengsheng was of course relieved. Both of them were very capable people and were impressive figures in the book. She didn't need to worry about them at all.
"I've said too much to you. I still have to go to the shop. I'll come see you when I'm free."
"Mom, I'll take you there."
While Song Shengsheng was still hesitating, he heard him say, "This road is a bit remote, I'm worried."
As he said this, Song Shengsheng became a little scared, so she nodded and said okay.
With someone accompanying her, she doesn't have to worry about any hooligans suddenly appearing on the road.
Shen Zai looked difficult to approach. If he didn't smile, he would be as cold as an ice cube, making people stay away from him wherever he went.
He followed her quietly and was about to send her to the alley entrance.
He looked at her walking forward step by step on her reflection and suddenly said, "Mom, you are very happy now."
Song Shengsheng was just about to say yes.
Then, he said, "If you had another chance to choose, would you still give birth to me?"
