Beast Taming Chapter 446: Mother

The word "mother" has always been lingering in Shi Yan's mind, but this is the first time he has seen her with his own eyes, or seen her in his memory.

Although she didn't turn around, the two are connected by blood, and blood is thicker than water. How could he not know who she is?

It had been 20 years since he saw his mother. There was no image or portrait of his mother in the Shi family, and no one would talk to him about her, so his mother would always be a blank in his memory. No one in the Shi family was allowed to mention his father and mother, so only in the middle of the night in bed would Shi Yan miss his parents and secretly wipe away his tears. He had hoped to see his parents since he was a child, even if it was just once, even if it was just their backs.

It was not until he 'died' and was thrown into the ancestral tomb, and he wandered around to survive, that his childhood longing for his parents gradually faded away.

At the same time, he had already prepared himself for never seeing his parents again in his life, but he actually saw them today.

He was not mentally prepared at all, and he didn't even know what expression he would use when they met face to face. Would it be joy? Or was it okay? It seemed that other expressions were not suitable for the moment except joy.

The woman slowly turned around and looked at Shi Yan with eyes as gentle as water.

Shi Yan stared at him blankly, struggling with what expression to use, but at this moment, his mind was completely blank and his thoughts had long since flown away.

Looking at that strange yet somewhat familiar face, Shi Yan couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Is this my mother? She is so beautiful, no wonder I am also very handsome.

To be honest, even Shi Yan himself was very confused. He clearly didn't feel like crying, but why couldn't he control his tears from flowing?

The woman's eyes were also moist as she looked at Shi Yan greedily, wanting to make up for the gap of twenty years in one go, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"You're here." Ji Ling'er opened her mouth and had a lot of things to say, but they were stuck in her throat and only three words came out.

Shi Yan took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Well, I'm here."

The two of them still stood there looking at each other, but didn't say another word. How could a thousand words express their feelings at the moment?

"Madam, this is really not the place to talk." Jiang Bo reminded in a low voice: "The young master has returned anyway, so there is no need to waste time."

"Oh, yes, look at me." Ji Ling'er came back to her senses and stepped forward to hold Shi Yan's hand, "Come, I'll take you to your room."

"My room?" Shi Yan was a little surprised. This was my first time here, so how could there be my room?

Hua Ruo smiled and said, "Madam, she decorated a room just for you when you left, just for this moment."

Shi Yan sighed slightly. It seemed that in the past twenty years, not only he missed his parents, but his parents also missed him.

This is not just a room, but represents the mother's longing for herself. The hatred and resentment in Shi Yan's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Originally, Shi Yan had some hatred and resentment towards them. But when he met them today, he realized that perhaps they were not willing to separate, and perhaps there was a hidden reason.

Along the way, Ji Ling'er held Shi Yan's hand and asked about his well-being. Shi Yan didn't say anything, but just listened quietly.

Finally arrived at Shi Yan's room. Shi Yan looked at his room with some disbelief.

This house is very big, and there are many things in it, including cribs, toys, and clothes. These things almost cover everything a person needs from childhood to adulthood. Take clothes for example, in the huge wardrobe on one side, there are nearly a thousand pieces of clothes placed side by side, from small to large, covering all age groups.

"These clothes were all made by Madam herself," Hua Ruo said.

Shi Yan was moved. For twenty years, she could only look at the house and miss her son. She could only make clothes to guess what her son looked like. The clothes were not clothes, but her mother's thoughts about her every day and night. Compared with her occasional thoughts, compared with the pain she felt when she missed her, it was completely different from her mother's.

"Shi Yan, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat. What do you like to eat? Tell mom." Ji Ling'er's mind was completely focused on her son who had been lost for many years and was finally found. Her face was full of joy.

Shi Yan looked at the woman in front of him who was connected to him by blood but seemed so strange. He shook his head gently and said, "I'm not hungry."

"Okay." Ji Ling'er looked at Shi Yan who was not very enthusiastic, and felt a little upset. "It's okay. Mom is slow anyway. You might be hungry when I'm done." Ji Ling'er went out with red eyes. Speaking of which, Ji Ling'er was looking forward to today, but she was also very scared. After all, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. She was afraid that her son would hate her and blame her. Now he didn't say much, and was even a little indifferent. This made Ji Ling'er's heart jump, and she had a bad premonition that her son hated her.

"He must be blaming me now. I am sorry to him. He must be blaming me. For so many years, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. It is right for him to blame me." Ji Ling'er cried as she walked.

"I don't blame you." Suddenly, Shi Yan'e's voice came from behind. It turned out that he saw her go out with red eyes, so he followed her out.

"Yan'er, you have the right to blame your mother, you have the right to do so."

"Really not. Maybe I did in the past, but now, there really isn't anything." Shi Yan said, "It's just that everything that happened today shocked me too much. It happened too suddenly and I couldn't adapt."

After hearing her son's words, Ji Ling'er was relieved and laughed. She also understood that today was the first time they met in the true sense, and there might be many things that she was not used to, which was normal. Normally, she would have thought about it, but now it was related to her son, and she was so concerned that she was confused and worried.

Shi Yan took out a silk scarf and carefully wiped away the tears from her mother's face.

"You are my mother. When I lost you, didn't you also lose me? How can I bear to blame you?"

Ji Ling'er was crying with joy at this moment, with tears streaming down her face, looking at Shi Yan with loving eyes.

She wiped away her tears and smiled happily, "Go back to your room, I'll make you something delicious."

Looking at his mother's departing back, Shi Yan felt complicated.

"This is the first time I've seen Madam cook in all these years," Jiang Bo sighed.

"Thanks to you, I can finally taste the madam's cooking." Hua Ruo said with a smile.

The dishes were very rich, filling a large table, made with all kinds of precious ingredients, and even included many precious spiritual beasts. If the ingredients of such a table of dishes were made public, it would probably drive the world crazy.

That's what a mother is like, she wants to give her son the best in the world.

There were only mother and son and Hua Ruo at the table. Jiang Bo claimed that he was a servant and was not allowed to sit at the table, so he waited on the side.

During the meal, Ji Ling'er hardly ate much. Most of the time, she just picked up food for him, or looked at him with a gentle and loving expression, staring at him in a daze.

After dinner, Ji Ling'er kept holding Shi Yan's hand and talked together in the back garden.

In fact, it was Ji Ling'er who was talking and Shi Yan was listening.

"Yan'er, do you know how long I have been looking forward to this day?" Ji Ling'er's eyes were red. Thinking of what happened in the past, she felt regretful and blamed herself. "When I sent you away with my own hands, my heart seemed to be broken. For so many years, I have been missing you and looking forward to the arrival of this day. Finally, this day has finally come."

Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "Why did you send me away in the first place? In the Shi family, you and your father are not allowed to be mentioned. Whenever I see others playing with their parents and growing up with their parents, I am particularly envious."

Ji Ling'er's voice choked, "Yan'er, you have suffered."

"Is it bitter?" Shi Yan said with a smile: "To put it simply, it is bitter, but to say it is not bitter, it is not bitter either. For so many years, I have been running around for survival and have no time to stop and miss you. I have almost closed all my thoughts about you, so the pain of missing you is also very rare."

"How are you doing at the Shi family?" Ji Ling'er asked.

"Shi family? Haha, I haven't been back for twelve years." Shi Yan's face darkened, and he said, "At the beginning, I was hit by the extreme cold air, and my grandfather looked for all the famous doctors and immortals but couldn't cure me. In the end, I was left in the ancestral tomb to fend for myself. Fortunately, God didn't abandon me, and I survived and have been living a miserable life." Then, he told all the things that happened in the past few years. In the past, only he knew the pain, but now, he was like a wronged child, "complaining" in front of his mother. In fact, this is also a kind of coquetry. Unconsciously, he has integrated into the role of son.

Ji Ling'er listened to Shi Yan's experiences over the past twelve years and burst into tears. "You have suffered a lot. I only knew that you would come back here when you were twenty years old, but I didn't know that you would go through so much hardship. If I had known, I would never have let you leave." Then she hugged Shi Yan and said, "Yan'er, you have suffered a lot over the years."

Being hugged by his mother, with his head resting on her chest, listening to that familiar heartbeat, Shi Yan suddenly felt that time had stopped. Everything in the world became quiet, with only that heartbeat ringing in his ears.

Bang, bang, bang

Shi Yan felt warm all over, as if he was still in his mother's body before he was born, listening to his mother's heartbeat and growing up quietly.

"Your father had no choice but to send you away. With his ability, he could only calculate a few key points of the road you took, and could not deduce all of it, so he didn't know your experience." Ji Ling'er said softly, "But your conscienceless father wouldn't care even if he knew. He would definitely say, 'When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry, his body empty, and his actions frustrated, so as to move his heart and endure his nature, and increase his ability', 'Boys should experience all kinds of difficulties before they can achieve something in the future' and so on."

Shi Yan smiled awkwardly and suddenly felt confused. He saw his mother, but why didn’t he see his father?

He asked his mother the question, and Ji Ling'er smiled bitterly and said, "He deduced your trajectory for the next twenty years, and read the secrets of heaven, and was punished by heaven."

"Heavenly punishment!" Shi Yan was shocked. Could it be that "Father is dead?"

PS: These chapters are a turning point, and a little difficult to write. Xue-kun is stuck in this format and wants to die.

I beg you all to give me some votes to help open up Xuejun's stupid brain!
