Chapter 12: The Twelfth Mom
"……ah?"
Baichuan Mu was confused. She didn't know how Xiao Xia Youjie came to this conclusion, but she was very sure that the child's father didn't have such a "weird" setting!
They are all monkeys! They are just ordinary monkeys!
Bai Chuanmu inexplicably had a feeling of being abandoned. Both his father and his wife had become sorcerers, although one of them was "became".
Xiao Xia Youjie's words caused Bai Chuanmu's brain to short-circuit for a while, and because of this, Xiao Xia Youjie became more convinced that he had guessed the truth.
He looked at Bai Chuanmu's empty and dull eyes, and Xiao Xia Youjie felt a little distressed. It was because he mentioned this that his mother thought of the sad past, even though his mother had finally come out of her sadness.
My mother can't see the curse spirits and the curse jade, but she has a certain understanding of them, and she also mentioned that "there is no death without regrets for the sorcerer."
...Dad...When Dad died...did he regret it?
Regret choosing to become a sorcerer?
Xiao Xia Youjie has never seen his father. His father died before he was born, but that doesn't mean he has no feelings for his father at all.
But if we look closely, Xiao Xia Youjie's feelings for his father, whom he had never met, actually come from his mother, just like... loving the person who owns him and loving his dog?
There was a thin mist in Xiao Xia Youjie's eyes. He was infected by his mother's "sadness", but he raised his little hand and patted Bai Chuanmu's back, comforting her: "Mom, don't be sad, I will always be by your side, I will not leave you."
Bai Chuanmu, who was in a dazed state, heard Xiao Xia Youjie's cute childish voice and gentle and firm words of comfort, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
She sighed in her heart, Xiaojie is really like an angel. It is not so much that she is here to try to stop him from turning evil, but rather that Xiaojie is here to redeem herself. She hasn't felt the warmth of family love for a long time.
Bai Chuanmu couldn't help but sniff.
Then Baichuan Mu met Xiaoxia Youjie's expression that seemed to say "as expected". She finally came to her senses and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no! Wait! Xiaojie, you misunderstood, your father is really not a sorcerer, he is just an ordinary person like my mother! Really!"
But the "iron evidence is as strong as a mountain", Bai Chuanmu's current explanation seems so pale and powerless, and even looks a little "guilty". It would be better not to explain now, as it would be counterproductive.
After listening to his mother's words, Xiao Xia Youjie's speculations became more and more complicated.
Xiao Xia Youjie held Bai Chuanmu's hands tightly with his two little hands. He looked at Bai Chuanmu seriously: "Well, Mom, I understand..."
"Huh...that's good..." Bai Chuanmu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the misunderstanding was resolved. She didn't want to lie. Although this might be considered a white lie, the truth would always be exposed one day, which might cause bad effects.
"Mom, don't you want me to become a sorcerer like dad, so you didn't tell me about my dad?"
“…Huh?”
"Well, maybe it's not just because of this reason... Not everyone can see the curse spirits. Some people... No, it should be that most people can't see the curse spirits. So when Dad died in the battle with the curse spirits, he couldn't tell anyone and could only cover it up with a car accident... Mom, I know that Dad is a hero! He sacrificed himself to protect others!"
"Um, Xiaojie..."
"I understand what mom did. I know she didn't tell me this for my own good. Although I've just come into contact with cursed spirits and know only a little bit about spells, I do know... being a spellcaster should be very dangerous, right? I also think cursed spirits are a bit scary... but I also want to be like dad and fight to protect other people who can't see the cursed spirits."
"Wait, Xiaojie, mommy, I..."
"Most importantly, I want to protect mom! I love mom the most. I'm worried that mom will be hurt by the curse spirit. Because mom can't see the curse spirit, it's very dangerous... So please let me, who can see the curse spirit, protect mom, just like dad!"
Baichuanmu opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. Well... explanation is cover-up, and cover-up is the fact. It seems that the more she denies, the more "truth" Xiaoxia Youjie can "guess" out.
And...she...actually thought that what Xiao Xia Youjie said seemed to make sense? It made sense in every aspect?
Wait, the child’s father is really just an ordinary person. She can’t be misled by this non-existent memory!
"Xiao Jie, your father is really an ordinary person, not a sorcerer," Bai Chuanmu held Xiao Xia You Jie's small hands in his palms, looking at Xiao Xia You Jie with burning eyes, "Dad and mom are really ordinary people, but Xiao Jie is different, Xiao Jie has a special talent."
Hearing this, Xiao Xia Youjie lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "That's why mom..."
"Um?"
"That's why mom said she would envy ordinary people... Mom said being 'special' might bring more dangers. Mom doesn't want me to be unspecial, she's just afraid that I'll encounter a lot of dangers, right?"
Bai Chuanmu was stunned. When did I say this... Ah, it seemed like it was just a while ago when I was watching the peacock...
Was the foreshadowing laid when she was watching Peacock?! No... She really didn't think so much at the time, she was just talking about the facts!
There are colorful peacocks and white peacocks in the grass, the latter is definitely more eye-catching!
Xiao Xia Youjie murmured to himself, telling his guess: "Maybe mom and dad have quarreled about this? Because mom said she envied ordinary people, and mom didn't want dad to do anything dangerous, right? But dad must want to protect mom and me, as well as other ordinary people, so he insisted... I think so too. I know that sorcerers are dangerous. After all, dad died because of this. Maybe as mom said, dad regretted it in the end, but... But I don't think dad regretted choosing to become a sorcerer. He just regretted it because he can't protect mom and me all the time, right?"
After Xiao Xia Youjie finished speaking, he sighed softly. He felt sorry for his "hero", but his eyes became firm, and he looked at Bai Chuanmu with a strong determination: "Mom, I won't let Dad down. I want to become a sorcerer and protect ordinary people. Most importantly, I want to protect Mom! Because this is the belief that Dad has conveyed to me! This is a man's promise!"
Bai Chuanmu was silent for a while. He was touched, but...
"Baby, why don't you change your name to Xiaodi?"
