Gu Ze took a deep breath, put on his brightest smile, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him.
The room had a musty smell because it had not been ventilated for years, but Gu Ze didn't mind at all. He walked to the woman sitting on the chair, squatted down, and looked at her at eye level.
He shouted obediently.
"Mother."
"...He didn't come..."
The woman looked at Gu Ze, and it seemed as if she was looking through him at the door behind him.
Because she often doesn't speak, her voice is very hoarse when she speaks.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. It will be the same if I come to see my mother."
Gu Ze blocked the door tightly with his body, and then took out the cake in his hand as if he was offering a treasure.
"It was Mom's birthday last month, but I had something else and couldn't come to see you. Mom, are you angry with me?"
Only then did Qiao Yuerou turn her gaze to the cake gift box in Gu Ze's hand.
He didn't say anything, just stared blankly.
Gu Ze saw that she was moving.
He quickly reached out and opened the cake box.
Revealing the mango ice cream cake inside.
The cake is not big, only 6 inches.
But it is exquisitely and cutely made, and the tempting mango scent fills the whole room after opening the gift box.
Gu Ze was holding the cake, feeling a little nervous.
"Mom, this is an ice cream cake. Do you like it?"
"Ice...ice cream cake?"
She spoke very slowly, but Gu Ze listened to her word by word with great patience.
He held the cake in front of her.
"Yes, it's an ice cream cake with mango in it. Would you like to try it, mom?"
Gu Ze was somewhat expectant.
"good."
Qiao Yuerou nodded, and Gu Ze quickly cleared out a small table, moved it to the balcony, put the cake on it, and then helped Qiao Yuerou sit down.
Because there were not enough chairs, Gu Ze half-knelt in front of Qiao Yuerou, lit the birthday candles, and pulled her to make a wish.
"No... Aze wants an ice cream cake, but mom can't afford it. I'm saving it for Aze's birthday. Mom won't eat it."
Gu Ze's eyes were slightly red, but he stubbornly held Qiao Yuerou's hand and made a wish with her.
"Mom, I've grown up. I'm no longer the kid who wants to have a cake just because other kids have one.
This cake is for my mother's birthday, please make a wish now."
Qiao Yuerou kept repeating the words "birthday" and "make a wish" in a daze, and finally, under Gu Ze's guidance, she closed her eyes and made a wish.
"I hope Xunting will come to see me so that our family can be happy."
Gu Ze lowered his head after listening to her wish, and when he looked up again, he still had that innocent look on his face.
It's so sunny.
"Mom, I'll take you away, away from here, and we'll be together forever, okay?"
"not good."
Qiao Yuerou shook her head without thinking and refused very straightforwardly.
"Aze, be good. You must behave well and not make daddy angry, okay?"
"Your father likes obedient and sensible children. You must make your father like you, so that our family of three can be together forever."
Gu Ze didn't say anything, and Qiao Yuerou reached out and grabbed him.
"Aze promised mom."
“…”
"Aze, be good. Mom will be angry if you do this."
"...As long as he comes to see mom, I won't make him angry and I promise he will behave well. Mom, do you think this is okay?"
"good!"
Only then did Qiao Yuerou feel satisfied and let go of Gu Ze's hand.
"He will come to see me, he said, as long as I stay here well, he will come to see me.
Then mommy will ask daddy to buy you toys and teach you how to do your homework, okay?"
