Chapter 299 I Saw My Mother

In the past, Nan Yi always said that he was 4 years old and a big kid, and couldn’t act like a 2 or 3 year old kid and act like a spoiled brat.

Dinosaur clothes, rabbit clothes, panda clothes, they look silly and don't suit him at all! Now...

Mm, it smells so good!

Nanzhi was so enamored with Nanyi's little panda costume that she held him in her arms and couldn't help but kiss him a few times.

After all, every Chinese person dreams of being a panda keeper.

Since it’s impossible to raise a real panda in Nanzhi now, it’s okay to raise a cute baby panda.

So cute! So soft! Nan Yi rarely gets this close to her mother.

He was a little embarrassed.

So he shyly turned his cheek to make it easier for his mother to kiss him.

When lying in his mother's arms, Nan Yi felt as if all his bones were broken. He groaned for a long time before asking, "Mom, do I look good?"

"Of course! The most beautiful one in the world!"

Nanzhi praised decisively! Swish.

It's the sound of a knife peeling an apple.

Nanzhi couldn't help but glance to the side and saw Lu Shixu's profile as he calmly peeled an apple.

Are you unhappy?

Nanzhi didn't care and continued to hug Nanyi and whisper to him.

After a few minutes, Lu Shixu handed over the peeled and diced apple.

Nanzhi took a look and said: "Huh? Is this a rabbit?"

Lu Shixu actually took the trouble to cut the apple into a rabbit shape? Lu Shixu didn't show much expression: "It's said on the Internet that children like it."

Nanzhi was even more surprised.

So this apple rabbit is peeled for Nan Yi?

Is Lu Shixu trying to… please Nan Yi? “Okay.”

Nanzhi took the plate, handed it to Nanyi, and asked him to taste it.

Nan Yi, who was extremely perceptive, always felt that something was wrong.

His eyes moved back and forth between Nanzhi and Lu Shixu.

Nanzhi was calm and innocent: "What's wrong, Yiyi? Don't you like apples?"

Southern Italy is not a picky eater and likes to eat most fruits and vegetables.

Although he really wanted to use "I don't like it" as an excuse to reject this dish of apple rabbit with impure intentions.

But think about it, even he himself felt that it was lame, there was no way he could fool his mother.

Nan Yi sighed and took it helplessly: "I'll eat it."

He first picked up a piece of apple with a fork and handed it to Nanzhi.

Nanzhi took it naturally and said thank you with a smile.

When Nan Yi went to pick up the second piece, he felt someone was watching him.

When he turned around, he saw approval written all over Uncle Lu's face.

Nan Yi’s brows were twisted into a knot.

In the end, the plate of apples tasted bland.

While Lu Shixu was washing dishes in the bathroom, Nan Yi grabbed his mother's hand and told her seriously:

"You have to be careful of Uncle Lu."

"Um?"

Nanzhi felt guilty.

She had just decided to start over with Lu Shixu, and Nan Yi saw it? Was he so perceptive?

Nan Yi said in a heavy tone:

"I think he has bad intentions towards you!"

“Hmm…”

Nanzhi felt that what Nanyi said was quite right after all.

However, seeing that he was really uneasy and wary of Lu Shixu, Nanzhi's heart softened: "Okay, Mom knows, Mom will be careful."

It's just a relationship between a man and a woman. There's nothing to announce to the world. It's enough for them to know it themselves.

Then--

Taking advantage of the good morning air, Lu Shixu and Nan Yi, one on each side, protected Nanzhi and went downstairs for a walk.

Nanzhi took the opportunity to find an excuse to get Nanyi away and asked him to go to the lawn to look at the dog.

As soon as Nan Yi left, Nan Zhi said to Lu Shixu:

"Let's not make our relationship public for now."

"……Why."

From the moment Lu Shixu agreed, he felt anxious and worried.

On the one hand, he was excited and happy about the progress of their relationship, like a young boy in his early 20s, repeatedly chewing on that moment and the tone of Nanzhi's voice;

On the other hand, he couldn't help feeling panic and uneasy, as if he possessed a treasure that did not belong to him and could be taken away by others at any time.

Now, Nanzhi's words seemed to confirm his worries.

Lu Shixu seems quiet and forbearing.

In fact, his eyes were already like the ocean on a stormy night, with huge waves rising.

He even grabbed Nanzhi's hand again, as if afraid that she would run away.

Nanzhi: "This is temporary, we need some time."

Lu Shixu slowly turned his face away, his movements and expression full of resistance.

Nanzhi couldn't do anything about him: "Then let's agree on a time?"

"One week."

"How is that possible? It's too fast. At least 3 months."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Two weeks."

"Are you bargaining with me?"

"One month is my limit."

Seeing that Lu Shixu's expression was almost pleading, Nanzhi finally did not insist any longer.

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll think about it..."

Her eyes accidentally swept across the crowd passing by——

At this time, they were sitting on a bench downstairs in the hospital, and the path next to it was the only way to the outpatient department.

A woman with plain clothes and a miserable face passed by that road.

That profile was just a fleeting glimpse, but it was like a huge rock smashing into Nanzhi's calm heart.

In an instant, Nanzhi's hands and feet became numb and his expression was stunned, as if he had lost all ability to think.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Shixu was anxious.

Lian Nan Yi heard the noise and ran back quickly to check on her mother.

Nanzhi pushed them away and stood up shakily, her pupils empty and out of focus.

Those painful memories of the past kept surging and resurfacing, tormenting her again and again.

Nanzhi murmured:

"I saw her."

Lu Shixu put his arm around her shoulders:

"What do you see?"

Nanzhi didn't respond.

She fell into a distant memory...

A long time ago, Grandpa asked her if she still remembered her family.

She said she didn't remember.

In fact, she lied.

It's not that she doesn't remember it at all, but there are fragments of it in the corners of her memory.

Those were terrifyingly white snow-capped mountains that seemed taller than the sky, pressing down towards her in a dark mass.

She was so scared that she kept calling out "Mom" and trying to seek shelter.

But her hands and feet seemed to be tied by something and she couldn't get free at all.

The young girl looked at the woman in red clothes with despair.

The woman pushed her away in disgust, telling her to "get away" and "don't follow me."

She could only open her eyes wide and watch the woman walk away step by step.

Never looked back once.

…

Later, she had similar nightmares many times over in her childhood.

Most of the dreams were about her catching up with the woman in red and calling her “Mom”, but she pushed her away and told her to get out of here.

That was Nanzhi's deepest nightmare and a scar she had never told anyone about, including her grandfather who brought her countless beautiful memories.

However, just now, she saw that face.

So familiar and profound.

It turned out that she had never forgotten it for a moment.

Nanzhi pinched her palms hard, her voice as vague as clouds:

"I saw her. I saw my...mom."
