Chapter 15 The Fifteenth Mom
Bai Chuanmu took out the key from her bag. It was clearly her first time here, but she felt very familiar with the place. After a few hours of getting used to it, she seemed to be no different from her past self.
It was as if the 23-year-old girl suddenly received her 18 years of memories from another world.
Or maybe she lived here for twenty-three years, then forgot everything, traveled to another world, lived there for eighteen years, traveled back again, and remembered everything in the past.
She had a faint memory of the child's father, but a deep memory of little Xia Youjie...
Maybe... because she came here originally for Xiao Xia Youjie.
Their house number is 403, located at the innermost part of the fourth floor.
Baichuanmu and Xiaoxia Youjie have to step over some debris when they go home every day, which really adds to their troubles.
Bai Chuanmu had complained before, and the property management company had come to communicate specifically, but the other party simply didn't listen, using all sorts of excuses to delay things, and then, as if they were in a vengeful mood, they even got worse.
It's as troublesome as a nail household.
She couldn't help but think of moving.
It didn’t seem so bad at the beginning... It seemed like it became like this after the child’s father passed away, and all kinds of troubles piled up.
Baichuan Mu tried hard to hide his worries, and Xiao Xia Youjie even treated the piles of debris as a small playground and felt that every trip home was a small challenge.
Later, little Xia Youjie noticed his mother's tiredness and got bored of the small playground. It lost its novelty and he no longer felt happy every time he passed through the debris.
Baichuanmu only now realized that Xiaoxia Youjie might prefer that he accompany him to a real amusement park to play?
She hadn't noticed it in the past... or she had become numb to it.
How can she be considered a qualified mother like this...
Wait, could those two cursed spirits be created because of my negative emotions?
Baichuanmu shook his head, but suppressed the negative emotions and thought about happy things, such as Xiaoxia Youjie's smiling face.
Sure enough, this made me feel much happier.
Bai Chuanmu's lips curled up slightly, and she inserted the key into the hole. A familiar click sound was heard. She picked up the key and turned the door handle. The familiar home appeared in front of her again.
The house is not very big, with two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen, totaling 72 square meters. It is not crowded at all for the two of them, but it is a little empty.
At present, Xiao Xia Youjie still sleeps in the same room with Bai Chuanmu. She plans to clean up the other room and use it as his bedroom when Xiao Xia Youjie goes to elementary school.
The master bedroom has not been used for several years, and the door has never been opened. Bai Chuanmu only goes in to clean the dust when he has time.
Baichuanmu put the shopping bag in the living room. Xiaoxia Youjie actively helped Baichuanmu put the things that needed to be refrigerated into the refrigerator, while Xia took a basin and put some water in it to keep it first.
Xiao Xia Youjie was a little curious about the shrimps, so he squatted and watched them swimming in the water. Now they were not as energetic as before and had become much more obedient.
Bai Chuanmu went to the master bedroom and took a look. There was a photo frame on the bedside table, placed upside down, as if it was placed like that on purpose. She picked it up and saw that it was a photo of her and the child's father.
She didn't care much about it, after all, it was a thing of the past.
Bai Chuanmu put the photo frame in place and wiped the table with his fingers, which was already covered with dust.
I haven't been in this room for about... a month?
"Mom," Xiao Xia Youjie leaned over the door and poked his head out, "Can I eat the Curse Jade?"
"Are you ready?" Bai Chuanmu walked to the door and rubbed Xiao Xia Youjie's head. "The Curse Jade is super unpalatable!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Xia Youjie nodded vigorously, waving his little fists in anticipation, holding the invisible Curse Spirit Jade in his hand, "I'm ready!"
"Hmm...it is said to smell like vomit." Bai Chuanmu thought about it and decided to give Xiao Xia Youjie a shot of prevention so that he would be mentally prepared.
Sure enough, the excitement and happiness on Xiao Xia Youjie's face faded a lot. He looked at the Curse Jade in his hand, and the disgust on his face was clearly visible.
Baichuan Twilight feels a little nauseous just by imagining it. Comparing the Curse Jade with traditional Chinese medicine is a bit insulting to traditional Chinese medicine.
This was a taste disaster.
But Xiao Xia Youjie did not back down. Instead, he cheered up and said, "It's okay! Since Dad also became stronger by eating the extremely unpalatable Curse Spirit Jade, then I can do it too!"
Bai Chuanmu's mouth twitched, and he silently closed the door of the master bedroom, and tried to struggle: "Xiao Jie, your father is really an ordinary person..."
Xiao Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. Finally, he nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, Mom."
Baichuanmu:?
No, boy, what did you understand?
Bai Chuanmu really didn't understand at all, but she had already decided to give up.
Let's take a look at Xiao Xia Youjie's script: Why does my mother insist that my father is not a sorcerer? Maybe it's not just because she doesn't want me to go down this path. My mother has already said that she will respect and support my choice. Then it can only be because she wants to protect me! I am not strong enough now, so I must keep a low profile to prevent the enemy from coming to me. At the same time, it is also to let me grow better and not be bound by my father's glory!
Finally, Xiao Xia Youjie would like to express his emotion: My mother really has good intentions for me!
Baichuanmu: ...baby, as long as you are happy.
…
Now in front of Xiao Xia Youjie there is a chocolate daifuku, a cup of boiled water with a few slices of lemon, and a bottle of cola with the cap unscrewed. The cola had been chilled before, and although it had been left at room temperature for a long time, it still had some coolness, and tiny water droplets condensed on it.
Xiao Xia Youjie placed three Curse Jades in front of him. The size of the Curse Jades was just right for him to swallow in one gulp.
Bai Chuanmu still didn't believe it, and poked the place where the Curse Spirit Jade was said to be, but still felt nothing: "Xiao Jie, do I need to wash the Curse Spirit Jade first?"
"I have washed my hands!" Xiao Xia Youjie replied, and showed Bai Chuanmu his clean little hands. "I have washed my hands too. Mom said that I should wash my hands before eating."
Eating the cursed jade is called eating...
Baichuanmu didn't know how to complain, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was some truth in what he said. Xia Youjie really ate the Cursed Jade more often than he ate meals.
Alas, poor child.
"How about putting some honey on it? Would it taste better?" Bai Chuanmu suddenly had an idea and took out the honey that she hadn't finished eating. However, she hesitated for a moment, "But it might also make the taste even weirder. Hmm... what should I do?"
"No, I have to learn to adapt to this kind of thing." Xiao Xia Youjie smiled gently, "Mom, don't worry too much, I am very strong, not that fragile."
Bai Chuanmu smiled gently after hearing this: "Okay, after you finish eating, rinse your mouth with lemon water, and then have some Coke and chocolate Daifuku."
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded, grabbed a Curse Jade, swallowed nervously, and without hesitating for too long, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Curse Jade.
The moment the Curse Jade entered his mouth, Xiao Xia Youjie's face wrinkled into a ball. What was this thing? He couldn't help but dry heave twice, wanting to spit out the Curse Jade in his mouth, but he stopped the idea and tried hard to swallow the Curse Jade.
The first Curse Jade was swallowed successfully. Although the Curse Jade did not enter his stomach, it seemed to have transformed into another kind of power and merged into his body. However, Xiao Xia Youjie's stomach still felt churning and he wanted to run to the toilet and lie on the toilet to vomit, but he did not do that. Instead, he grabbed another Curse Jade.
What my mother said was not an exaggeration at all. The Curse Jade tasted extremely disgusting, just like vomit... He felt like he was eating a rag that had been used to wipe vomit, and the nauseating and desperate taste was stuck in his throat for a long time.
"Xiao Jie...how about..." Bai Chuanmu's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't help but clench her fists. She leaned forward and looked at Xiao Xia Youjie nervously. She really wanted to say, boy, why don't we not eat it? But Bai Chuanmu decided to support Xiao Xia Youjie's decision, and now she couldn't say the words to stop him.
Xiao Xia Youjie forced a smile and comforted her, "It's okay, Mom... I'm fine."
After saying that, he immediately ate the remaining two Curse Jades. After having the experience, Xiao Xia Youjie finished the other two even faster.
"Hmm..." His face looked very ugly.
Although Xiao Xia Youjie was determined to eat the Cursed Jade, the disgusting taste did not decrease at all.
Bai Chuanmu quickly handed the lemonade to Xiao Xia Youjie: "Sip it quickly!"
Xiao Xia Youjie took the lemonade, took a big sip, and gurgled in his mouth. The slightly sour but refreshing aroma balanced the disgusting taste. His churning stomach seemed to calm down a little, and the urge to vomit also subsided a lot. He spit out the lemonade in his mouth into the prepared basin with a roar.
He accidentally drank a little bit. It tasted sour. Xiao Xia Youjie didn't like sour things very much, but now he kind of liked the taste.
Xiao Xia Youjie had just spit out the lemon water he used to rinse his mouth when Bai Chuanmu stuffed the chocolate daifuku into his mouth. Compared with the slightly sour lemon water, the sweetness seemed to be more obvious. The greasy sweet taste made him unable to remember what he had just eaten. He only felt that the chocolate daifuku in his mouth was rich and delicious, and especially tasty. Not only in his mouth, but also in his nose, there was only the sweet scent of chocolate.
He chewed it only a few times before wolfing down the entire chocolate daifuku. He ate too fast and nearly choked. However, Bai Chuanmu did not forget to hand Xiao Xia Youjie the Coke, and he finished the small bottle of Coke in one gulp.
"Burp~" Xiao Xia Youjie also burped comfortably. After burping, he scratched his face a little embarrassedly, "I think the chocolate daifuku... is very delicious. I like cola too."
Baichuanmu's actions made Xiaoxia Youjie almost forget about the Cursed Jade.
Baichuan Mu also noticed that Xiaoxia Youjie was not pretending, but really used sweets to forget the taste of the Curse Jade. There were tears in her eyes and she couldn't help but sigh: "That's great!"
In fact, it was not only because of the sweets that Xiao Xia Youjie ignored the bad taste of the Curse Jade, but also because he had his mother's care and Baichuan Mu helped share this "bitterness".
He saw his mother's anxiety and concern for him.
So Xiao Xia Youjie understood that he was not alone.
He thought it was no big deal.
"Yeah," Xiao Xia Youjie smiled happily, revealing his gums that were missing a tooth, "That's great!"
It’s great that my mother can be with me.
