Her voice was calm and gentle, yet it seemed to carry a determination to find out the truth.
After a brief hesitation of two seconds,
Mu Yunxi opened her red lips slightly,
"Mom, why have I never heard you mention our grandparents before?"
As soon as the words fell,
Time seemed to freeze for a moment...
There was silence on both ends of the phone.
In the receiver,
Only the faint sound of electricity and the occasional rustling noise remained.
For a moment, no one broke the silence.
Mu's mother, Li Nianyue, obviously did not expect her daughter to ask this question. She was stunned for a moment...even a little surprised.
It made her stunned on the spot.
But soon... she returned to normal.
After all, these things,
There's nothing that can't be said.
Besides, when my daughter was very young, I actually asked her a similar question.
My daughter was still very young at that time. She blinked her clear and innocent eyes, looked at her with a puzzled look on her face, and asked in a baby voice,
"Mom, why do other children have grandparents at home, but we don't?"
She remembered that she had told her daughter the answer.
But my daughter was still young at that time.
As time goes by...
I guess my daughter has gradually forgotten this memory.
Thinking of this,
Mother Mu lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyes.
Her tone was gentle and calm, as if there was no ripple.
: "When you were little, your mother told you this, but maybe you forgot it."
Mu Yunxi:......
Well, it seems that the original owner’s memory is not very good!
She quickly said,
"I really don't remember it very well... Mom, can you tell me again in detail?"
Mother Mu noticed that her daughter's tone was a little anxious and she was a little confused, but she didn't ask the reason.
Instead, he patiently answered his daughter's questions.
"Of course, if you want to hear it, mom will tell you again."
After she finished speaking, she paused slightly.
Seems to be recalling something.
Then take a deep breath,
Suppress the chaotic thoughts in your mind,
Start to tell the story,
"Actually... Mom doesn't know where your grandparents are either."
Mu Yunxi frowned slightly when she heard this, a little surprised.
:" have no idea? "
Mother Mu's eyes were confused for a moment, as if she was trying to piece together those fragments of memory that had long been blurred.
After a few seconds, she slowly said,
"Well, more than 20 years ago, when Mom was about 16 or 17 years old...for some unknown reason...she fell into the water."
"At that time... Mom's head was hit. Her mind was completely empty, blank, and even her consciousness was very blurry."
"I don't know how long I floated in the icy river. I was completely confused and disoriented."
"My head feels like it's filled with paste. It's a bit heavy and a bit confusing."
Having said this, she frowned slightly as if she was still frightened.
The fingers holding the receiver tightened unconsciously as she continued,
: "At that time, there was only one thought in my mother's mind."
"That means you must hold on tightly to that piece of driftwood in your arms. No matter what, you must never let go."
Mother Mu said this very firmly.
After saying this, he paused for two seconds.
Then he pretended to be relaxed and made fun of himself.
"Because my mother at that time was very afraid of death..."
"I was afraid that if I let go, I would be swept to the bottom of the icy river."
"So... Mom refused to close her eyes and didn't dare to relax. Even though she had no strength left, she still gritted her teeth and held on."
: "Isn't Mommy awesome?!"
As she spoke, she chuckled softly, and without waiting for her daughter's reply, she continued to speak.
"Fortunately, later on... Mom was very lucky to see the Yu Province fleet passing by. One of the crew members spotted her and kindly rescued her aboard."
