Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Mom
She really couldn't stop Xiao Xia Youjie from changing his mind!
Moreover, Xiao Xia Youjie's reasoning is quite reasonable and well-founded, which makes Bai Chuanmu's defense seem even more pale and powerless.
Now Xiao Xia Youjie was still thinking seriously about Baichuanmu's sudden intention to change his name. It didn't take long for him to "guess" the reason again. He said, "Mom, do you need a code name to be a sorcerer? In order to better hide your identity and be a hero behind the scenes? Xiao Di... Di... Could it be that Dad's previous code name was related to 'Di'?"
Bai Chuanmu covered his face, lowered his head, and wanted to cry... Why was Xia Youjie's thinking so divergent when he was a child!
Moreover, Baichuan Mu was led astray by Xiao Xia Youjie, and almost impulsively replied, "Yes, that's right, your father is Ultraman Tiga."
It makes sense, doesn't it? There's a "Di"?!
What the hell is reasonable!
Baichuan Mu was not only unable to stop being controlled by Xiao Xia Youjie, but also was led by him to have a divergent mindset. She had begun to imagine that Xiao Xia Youjie had tamed a cursed spirit that looked like Oxman, and then staged Oxman fighting monsters every day.
Hiss...When you think about it this way, it makes sense.
The cursed spirit can indeed be considered a monster.
Wait, don’t let yourself be led astray! Pokémon trainers are obviously more reasonable!
Bai Chuanmu is not very reliable either, his thinking is just as divergent, and the script has become richer and more exciting... Is this what they call "like mother, like son"?
It's sad and lamentable (wrong
What's even more "scary" is that Xiao Xia Youjie didn't know what new script he had written, and he stretched out his little hand to rub Bai Chuanmu's head and comforted her: "Mom, I understand what you mean, don't worry."
Xiaojie, mom, I myself don’t understand what “I mean” means!
"Then... Mom still wants me to inherit this name?"
"No," Baichuanmu didn't want Xiao Xia Youjie to change his name because of her complaints. She said, "... Just call him 'Xiaojie', it's fine. 'Xia Youjie' is a nice name."
"Well, I know my current strength is not enough to inherit this name, but I will try my best."
Baichuanmu: ...
Silence is Cambridge tonight...
Forget it, she gave up struggling. Bai Chuanmu finally chose to compromise and let the child's father be a sorcerer. That's good enough.
"It's not because Xiaojie is not strong enough, but because mom hopes that Xiaojie can walk his own path and not be bound by anyone."
"My own path... In other words, does my mother support me in becoming a sorcerer?"
Baichuanmu lowered his eyes and sighed softly, then held Xiao Xia Youjie in his arms, rubbed his head, and said: "If possible... Mom, I still hope you don't take this path. Being a sorcerer is not as easy and beautiful as you think."
"I know it's not easy, nor is it beautiful... The curse on that uncle just now is very scary..." Xiao Xia Youjie muttered softly, "Mom, I really don't underestimate the sorcerer, I am serious."
"Of course I know that Xiaojie is serious, but I hope you can understand that the sorcerer is indeed a hero who protects ordinary people, but the sorcerer may not necessarily be treated as a hero."
"I know!" The childish voice was very clear, and Geto Suguru was particularly adorable when he was serious. "Ordinary people can't see curse spirits, so curse masters can't be treated as heroes, but I don't do this to be treated like a hero. Because I am special, I can become stronger, become a strong person, protect the weak, and tolerate the weak."
Baichuan Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the light in her eyes became a little deeper. When she looked at little Xia Youjie, there was still her usual gentle smile on the corner of her lips, but this time the smile had a bit more helplessness and sadness. Her eyes looked through little Xia Youjie and saw him when he grew up. Xia Youjie had said something similar when he was in high school.
She murmured to herself: "Have you had this idea since then..."
"idea?"
Bai Chuanmu's muttering was very soft, Xiao Xia Youjie didn't hear it clearly, and he tilted his head to look at Bai Chuanmu.
He knew that his mother didn't want to be a sorcerer because she was afraid of losing her, just like losing his father.
But...but he thinks this is the right choice, because the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
However, Xiao Xia Youjie still hesitated. No, it was not accurate to say that he felt embarrassed. If his mother firmly did not allow him to become a sorcerer, what should he do? Should he listen to his mother or insist on going his own way?
He hopes to protect his mother and wants her to be happy forever, but what should he do if he becomes a sorcerer and his mother becomes unhappy?
Xiao Xia Youjie pursed his lips and said softly: "Mom, was what I just said wrong?"
Bai Chuanmu did not answer. It cannot be said that he was wrong, he was just a little "naive".
"Then mom... doesn't want me to be a sorcerer?"
Xiao Xia Youjie looked at Bai Chuanmu anxiously. Bai Chuanmu naturally saw the uneasiness in his heart, and she shook her head gently.
Seeing Baichuanmu shaking his head to express his attitude, the light in Xiaoxia Youjie's eyes seemed to dim a little, but Baichuanmu did not interrupt and stop him from becoming a sorcerer.
"I really don't want you to become a sorcerer, but I will respect your choice, Xiaojie..." Baichuanmu rubbed Xiaoxia Youjie's head and sighed, "If you decide to become a sorcerer, mom will support your choice. This road will be difficult, but you must remember that you are not alone. Mom will try her best to help you, but mom is just an ordinary person and may not be able to give you more help."
After Baichuanmu finished speaking, Xiao Xia Youjie was still silent for a while, as if he was immersed in the sadness of his mother not agreeing to his becoming a sorcerer. He blinked his eyes, slowly digesting what he had just heard. Xiao Xia Youjie's big watery eyes also became lively and bright little by little, and there seemed to be a clear light flowing in them.
"Will mom support me in becoming a sorcerer!?" Xiao Xia Youjie exclaimed, his eyes were bright and the joy in them was clearly visible.
Baichuanmu felt like he was back in his childhood, lying in the fields and looking at the starry sky.
"Hmm..." She nodded slightly, a little absent-minded, but still answered Xiao Xia Youjie's question very seriously, "Mom will respect and support your choice."
"Great!" Xiao Xia Youjie raised his arms and cheered, "That's great! Mom, I will definitely not let you down!"
"Hahaha..." Bai Chuanmu chuckled, "No matter what, Xiaojie has always been mom's pride."
"Hmm? Am I mom's pride? But... I don't think I did anything... Oh! I got a little red flower today! I almost forgot to tell mom!" Xiao Xia Youjie took out a notebook from his backpack and opened the first page. There were several little red flowers on it. He pointed to a cherry blossom pattern and said, "This! I got it today! I answered several questions correctly in class, some math problems, so the teacher rewarded me with a little red flower."
"Wow! Xiaojie is awesome!" Baichuanmu and Xiaoxia Youjie held the notebook together and exclaimed, "This pattern is so beautiful! Mom is so envious~"
"Then... then mom, give me a notebook. Next time the teacher wants to stamp a little red flower on me, I will ask the teacher to stamp it on mom's notebook."
"Great~ I'm really looking forward to this gift~"
“Hehe~”
Xiao Xia Youjie pursed his lips and chuckled twice, his chubby little face turned red. He looked down at the Poké Ball containing the Curse Jade.
Although Xiao Xia Youjie already knew that his mother couldn't see the Curse Jade, he still placed the Curse Jade in front of Bai Chuanmu very seriously and said, "Mom, I'm going to eat this Curse Jade. It seems... my own ability told me that I can only become stronger by eating this Curse Jade. Since mom agreed to let me become a sorcerer, I must work hard to eat more Curse Jade."
As he said that, Xiao Xia Youjie grabbed the Curse Jade and mustered up his courage to eat it in one bite.
"Wait, wait!" Baichuanmu quickly held down Xiaoxia Youjie's hand to stop him from swallowing the Curse Jade, "Boy, this thing tastes terrible."
"It's okay, Mom!" Xiao Xia Youjie smiled brightly, "If I can become stronger, I don't mind if it tastes a little bad!"
"I understand. Just treat it like taking Chinese medicine." Bai Chuanmu held Xiao Xia Youjie's hand holding the Curse Jade with both hands. "But, you have to eat candy after taking the Chinese medicine!"
"Chinese medicine? Eating candy?"
"Yeah! After eating something unpalatable, you must eat something delicious right away! It's also a reward for your courage!" Just at this time the bus arrived, Baichuanmu carried Xiao Xia Youjie on the bus, "Come on, let's go, mom will take you shopping! Let's buy, buy, buy!"
Xiao Xia Youjie hesitated for a while. He was mainly worried about his mother's money. He said, "Mom...it's okay, it's just a little unpalatable. There's no need to buy candy..."
"Xiao Jie," Bai Chuanmu said to Xiao Xia Youjie solemnly after he found a seat and sat down with Xiao Xia Youjie in his arms, "This matter is very important! It concerns your future!"
"Huh?"
"Only by eating and drinking well can we have the strength to fight! After suffering, we should cover the bitterness with more delicious food! We don't care about remembering the bitterness and thinking of the sweetness, we just want sweetness! Always sweet, do you understand?!"
"Well, if I keep being sweet, will it make me stronger?"
"Of course!" Bai Chuanmu nodded without hesitation and said, "Keep being sweet and in a good mood, then you will be full of energy! Only then will you be more motivated in life!"
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded after hearing this: "Okay! Then let's keep it sweet!"
The mother and son smiled at each other, Baichuanmu and Xiaoxia Youjie stretched out their little fingers in tacit understanding, and made a pinky promise to make an agreement.
Not only did they have smiles on their faces, but the other passengers on the bus also had their lips slightly curled up. Most of the other passengers had finished a hard day's work and were dragging their tired bodies home. This mother and son might be a little childish and a little noisy, but they were quite cute. They added a little color to the tired and boring life, and it seemed as if they also tasted a hint of sweetness.
To keep it sweet forever... is indeed a desirable wish.
This wish will definitely come true.
