Chapter 4: The Vain Drama Queen 04: Sleeping with Mom...
Unfortunately, Chen Lixu still ignored Yan Mi, so Yan Mi had to sulk alone.
After closing her eyes, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Yan Mi felt so choked up that she couldn't fall asleep unless she let out this anger.
A bad idea suddenly flashed through Yan Mi's mind.
She turned around, stared at Chen Lixu's broad back, and then called Chen Lixu in a low voice.
The other party did not respond to her.
Yan Mi carefully got up and saw that Chen Lixu had already fallen asleep.
Yan Mi was so angry, but he could do nothing about it. Now was not the time to be willful.
She secretly made a decision in her heart that if Chen Lixu fell in love with her again, she would get back today's debt double.
After moving slightly and finding that Chen Lixu still wouldn't wake up, Yan Mi became bolder.
She climbed into Chen Lixu's arms, then found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
When the sky was just getting light, Chen Lixu's biological clock woke him up on time.
He felt his arm go numb and there was something in his arms. He looked down and saw that Yan Mi had been in his arms for some time and had been sleeping with her head resting on his arm.
Chen Lixu pulled his arm out expressionlessly. Yan Mi frowned slightly, but did not wake up.
Chen Lixu wiped his face to make himself more sober.
There were noises coming from outside. Thinking that his son must have gotten up, Chen Lixu's face looked much better.
As for Yan Mi who was sleeping on the bed, he didn't care at all.
When he opened the door and went out, the dilapidated wooden door creaked. He was still worried that he would wake Yan Mi up. He glanced at the person on the bed again. He saw that the person was fast asleep, with the quilt draped over his body and a pair of white, shiny thighs stretched out.
His throat felt dry, and Chen Lixu knew he couldn't watch any longer, so he quickly closed the door and went out.
The child in the yard is exercising. This is the task assigned to him by Chen Lixu. He has to get up every morning and run around the yard a few times to exercise.
The child is also very well behaved and gets up to run every day.
An hour had passed after the father and son finished their exercise.
Chen Lixu went to boil some hot water to wash his face while the children played in the yard.
Chen Lixu washed his face. The father and son talked about something and laughed in the yard.
The giggling sound of a child reached Yan Mi's ears. She opened her eyes in a daze and found that the bed was empty, but she couldn't open her eyes yet. Hearing the laughter coming from outside, she unconsciously curled up the corners of her mouth.
Children just need to look happy.
Yan Mi was thinking in his mind and fell asleep again in a daze.
The next time he was woken up was at dinner time. Yan Mi was still very sleepy, so he didn't want to get up at all.
The child called Yan Mi to get up all the way from the door to the bed.
The child's voice was very small, like a little kitten. Yan Mi forced herself to open her eyes and stretched out her hand to him, "Mommy is still very sleepy, can you come and sleep with me for a while?"
The child took a step back and shook his head, "Dad said it's time for dinner, don't sleep anymore."
"Come and sleep with mom for just one minute and then I'll get up, okay?" Yan Mi coaxed gently.
But the child was very determined, "I won't sleep with you."
Yan Mi didn't give the child a chance to refuse her. She stretched out her hand and pulled the child onto the bed. The child wanted to struggle, but Yan Mi pretended to be angry and said, "Chen Xiaobao! Mommy's feet are still injured. You have to be careful of Mommy's injuries."
Hearing this, the child dared not struggle anymore.
The plan succeeded. Yan Mi quickly pulled off the child's shoes and locked the child in her arms. She covered him with the quilt, and a warm child with the fragrance of milk entered her arms.
The child who was hugged tightly by Yan Mi was very uncomfortable.
He was very reluctant to have such close contact, but he couldn't hurt his mother's feet.
Chen Xiaobao frowned and counted silently in his mind.
Every once in a while he would ask, "Is it one minute yet?"
Yan Mi lied to him: "No, no, just close your eyes. I'll call you in a minute."
Chen Xiaobao said "oh" and really closed his eyes obediently. Then after a while he asked again, "Mom, is it one minute yet?"
"No, no, don't worry, mom will definitely call you." Yan Mi put her hand on Chen Xiaobao's eyelids and sang softly.
Chen Xiaobao's heart was trembling. His mother could actually sing? But she was quite nice.
His little head was full of random thoughts and he fell asleep soon.
Only then did Yan Mi close his eyes and fall asleep with peace of mind.
It's still early now, so children need to get more sleep so that they can grow.
On the other side, Chen Lixu, who had already prepared dinner, saw that the two people were not coming yet, so he went to the room to look for them.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two people, one big and one small, sleeping on the bed.
Chen Lixu was stunned for a moment, then gently closed the door without disturbing them.
If Chen Xiaobao hadn't woken him up, Yan Mi could have slept a little longer.
She turned her head to look out the window. It was already bright outside and it was time to get up.
Looking at Chen Xiaobao who had woken up in shock, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he tried to get out of bed in a panic.
Yan Mi grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, if you overslept, you overslept. Your father won't blame us. You don't go to school, so why are you panicking?"
Chen Xiaobao looked at Yan Mi strangely, but still wanted to get out of bed.
Yan Mi saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, so he asked him to wait for her, "Wait until I wake up."
"I have to get up first. Dad must have gone to work." Chen Xiaobao said as he climbed down by himself.
A pair of small hands were clumsily putting on shoes. Yan Mi was so amused watching from the side that he couldn't help laughing out loud.
This made Chen Xiaobao even more nervous. He didn't even put his shoes on properly and ran out in a panic, dragging his shoes with him.
Yan Mi also got up quickly and took a look at his ankle. The swelling had subsided a lot and he estimated that it would be healed in a few days.
When she went out, she saw the child coming towards her with a bowl, and he looked a little at a loss when he saw her.
"For you." He placed the bowl in front of Yan Mi and returned to the kitchen.
Yan Mi was worried about such a small child in the kitchen, so she followed him. Chen Xiaobao was sitting on a wooden stool with an open steamer in front of him. There was a small bowl in the steamer.
"Don't move." Yan Mi shouted, and the child's face stopped.
Yan Mi limped forward and brought out the small bowl with ease. "Here you go. Don't do this kind of dangerous behavior again next time, okay? Mom will be worried if anything happens to you."
Not sure if Chen Xiaobao listened or not. When Yan Mi saw him nod, he ate in silence.
This little brat is quite stubborn.
Yan Mi sighed and asked, "Where's the hot water? Mom wants to wash her face."
Chen Xiaobao pointed to the pot on the stove.
Yan Mi boiled some water and washed his face before starting to eat.
When she finished dressing up and came out of the room, Chen Xiaobao had disappeared.
Yan Mi was still a little worried. Even though everyone in the village knew each other, it didn't mean her son wouldn't be bullied.
It’s a pity that the injury on her foot hasn’t healed yet, so she can’t go out to look for someone.
I wanted to search my memory for places where Chen Xiaobao might have gone out to play, but my mind was blank, with only some fragmentary memories of Chen Xiaobao at home.
Yan Mi immediately understood that the original owner had never paid attention to Chen Xiaobao, so he had very few memories of Chen Xiaobao.
Although Chen Xiaobao was born by her, to her, Chen Xiaobao was just a burden. Especially after she fell out with Chen Lixu, she disliked Chen Xiaobao even more and only enjoyed the feeling of being able to control Chen Xiaobao.
Yan Mi clenched her fists. If the original owner was still alive, she would definitely roll him into a ball and kick him into the sky.
Taking care of his foot injury, Yan Mi could only go out slowly to look for someone.
…
On the other side of the village, Chen Xiaobao came to look for his friends.
As long as Yan Mi is at home, he doesn't want to stay at home alone with Yan Mi. If his father is not around, his mother will beat and scold him, and ask him to find the money his father has hidden.
His friend lived on the other side of the village, and it took him a long time to walk here.
When he knocked on the door, no one opened it.
It seems that no one is home.
Chen Xiaobao felt a little lost, but he didn't want to go home, and he didn't know where to go.
He couldn't go find his father either. If his father found out, he would quarrel with his mother again. Chen Xiaobao didn't want to see them quarrel.
As Chen Xiaobao was walking with his head down, he heard a group of children running towards him in the distance.
When they saw Chen Xiaobao, the group of children quieted down.
They glanced at each other, and the older boy surrounded Chen Xiaobao. "Chen Xiaobao, are you looking for Wang Xiaopang again?"
Chen Xiaobao didn't want to pay attention to them, but he was surrounded and couldn't leave.
"I heard that your mother is back. I thought she didn't want you anymore. I heard from my grandma that your mother was going to run away with a strange man. Is that true?" The boy raised his eyebrows and said with disgust.
"That's right, your mother doesn't want you anymore."
"My mother said that you are not your father's child at all. You are a bastard born from your mother and another man."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Chen Xiaobao listened to these vile words and clenched his fists angrily, his chest heaving. "Don't say that! I'm my father's child! You're the bastards!"
"What did you say?" The boy only allowed himself to scold others, but others would never scold him.
Chen Xiaobao was almost scared silly when he saw the boy's raised fist. He could only stare at the fist getting closer to him.
At the moment when the fist was about to hit him, a tall figure appeared.
The boy couldn't move, so he turned around and saw the mother of the bastard they were talking about.
Yan Mi saw this group of young boys from a distance, and naturally heard the words they used to bully Chen Xiaobao.
"Are you so sure that you are your father's child?" Yan Mi laughed, and that smile was creepy. "Think about yourself before you talk about others. I remember that your mother seemed to be pregnant with you when she married your father."
The little boy who had insulted Chen Xiaobao before was shocked after hearing this. "Impossible! You are lying to me."
Yan Mi let go of the boy's hand and protected Chen Xiaobao behind him. He looked at the child who spoke dirty words with a sharp gaze, "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask your grandma and see if what I said is true."
Then Yan Mi looked at the other children who were bullying Chen Xiaobao, "If you bully Chen Xiaobao again, I will complain to your parents and let them beat your butts!"
The children remembered the experience of being beaten and quickly covered their buttocks.
"By the way, you just bullied Chen Xiaobao. Now line up and apologize to my son." Yan Mi pretended to be fierce and vicious and scared them.
